One of the reDortere of the London Times came over in the Great Eastern, and is now reporting the progress of the Prince for that journal. Before entering panada, he visited several points of interest in the United States. Of Saratoga Springs he writes : Saratoga, as a place of fashionable re sort, is, in the season, one of the most ex traordinary places of its kind, perhaps in the world. The village is a mere accident of the situation : the hotels axe Saratoga, and tbey are such hotels as only Americans can show. After living at those magnifi cent palaces at New York, the St.Nicbolae, the Fifth Avenue, the New York or the Clarendon, in each of which a thousand double that number in neous content. It chief constituent ele ment is cinders, mixed with bit of teoal, from the carelessness or waste of thousands of servants, Which the searchers' pick ow of the heap to be sold forthwith.

The former includes all guests (and often thfl fif Nicholas are constantly SiODnillg one is apt to imagine that them is nothing vegetable and animal matter all that will1 lier to be learned of these "institutions decompose. Stale fish and dead cats come ORIGIN OF THE MASSACRE Of CHRISTIANS AT DAMASCUS. The immediate cause of the massacre at Damascus is thus stated by a correspondent of the Boston Traveller, under date of Beirut, July 14, 1860: "On Monday, the 10th inst, children who had been making cross- s in the mud, and oth erwise insulting the Christians of Damascus, were arrested by tbe Governor, and after a short imprisonment, weie sent to sweep the Streets of the Christians. This step Was the alleged cause of the oatbreak, and every Frank considered it but a part of the general plan to produce the result which I am about to com municate. A mob of about five hundred per sons rushed to the relief of these children, and attacked tbe Christian's quarter at 2 o'clock p further of America, But at Saratoga your ideas on such subjects receive an immense devel opment. The hotels are as grant!, though totally different from all others. Two of them, the United States and Union Hall, occupying five acres of ground 1 v The dining siloons are fcigger. than the Floral Hall and arc laid with table to dine 1,000 people; the dancing rooms are larger, loftier, and handsomer 'than any two rooms of the kind we havr in all Lon: don. The around, attached to these are almost little parks" where between the trees are detached cottages, all belonging to the hotels, and occupied by wealthy southern era, and o hers willing to pay any price for that inestimable luxury in America a litde privacy. To these aotels,nd to Sar atoga generally, some 25,000 people come in the season to drinls the waters, to dress, drive, lou nee. .arable, and 20 Wy again after a six week's stay, to Newport, Niag ara, or any place where American aniens in a holiday car enjoy tnat wie ana iuxu rious life to which they seem particularly given. The waters at Saratoga, unlike the nanspmm doses so mercilessly crammed down visitors at other nlaces, are not only really good, but, what is more, are really nice, something like Seltxer water and into this list the skins of the latter being stripped off by the sifters who can sell them for 44. Or od., according to tneir coior, white being most in request. The "hard- ware does not merely mean oroten pot tery, though of this there is great abun dance. Part of the potter is matched and mended by the women who find It, and be comes their perquisite ; the rest, with the oyster-shells, is sold to make new roads.

The wheat crop of Wisconsin will exceed 17,t500 000, Iowa 14 00,000, Min Bogota 5 000.000, and Michigan 8,000,000 Your estimate of Ohio, 25,000,000, is about j correct; but many of her best informed citizens tbiuk her crop will reach 28,000,001). Thus you perceive that the seven Northwestern States have produced 118,000,000 bushels of wheat. The surplus that can be spared from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minne sota, after keeping abundance for bread and seed, will be equal to half of their whole, crcp. If your people iq the South are likely to be destitute of bread, they can draw on the "Prairie Stated for wheat enough to make two millions of barrelfc of flour, and shtll still have enough and to spare As to corn our State will produce 160,000,000 bushels.

The Value of a London Dust Heap. it 16 Mis From an article on the London poor, in the July number of the "Quarterly Re view," we clip the following extract, a quotation from a book called "The sing Link :f "The contests of every dust bin in this vast London are carried away periodically The dustman receives a small gratuity from each householder,and when he has col lected a cart load, he demands another abillinir at the cate of the Paddington " a . .a wharves, as he deposits it witnin tneir pre . a l a a. cmcts. A dust neap is very vaiunuio to the contractor, and a large one is said to be Tour or five thousand pounds.

Guns, shot, powder, axe and oth er tools,' knives, blankets, pieoa of cloth, made up garments, and a long dist of ne cessary articles, are sent out annus lly to the territories. A rarharaentary com mittee once examined the Company s tar iff, and ascertained that a common oosrse - w r - - . -? - a blanket was entered at four beavers, the price of the fur which on beaver akin yields never, falling below two dollar m tbe London market, and sometimes aa ntgn as $7 60. Twenty beavers buy a gun, which coat the Com nan v 8 or 10 doJUrs ; the same gun is made elchangable for five silver foxes, often worth f250 at the tom- pany'a London sales.
