Here we found two miners, one to turn the-chisel. the other to strike. They usually Avork jn pairs, following the course of the veins, which run North and South. One of the miners, from the Copper mines of Cornwall, told mr that the British mines were, some of them. 300 fathoms deep, and so intensely hot as to be almost beyond , endurance.

It i the application of chlorine 10 relieve pain. Unlike chloroform ii can be used wilhoul ihe least danger lo the patient. inu is very enectual in its operation. From the account, a small quantity of the fluid, (from ten lo twenty drops) is dropped on the part ef fected, or on a lint bandage slightly moistened with water, and then applied, and all bound up in oil silk, and n linen band. After from two to en minutes ihe part becomes insensible, and the pain is no longer fell, whether it be from rheumatic, nervous, or olher disorders. fer a lime it returns again, but usually weaker, and with several applications il is often entirely re lieved. The discoverer has presented a me. morial on the subject to the Academy at Paris. Ancient and Modern Strong Men. A paper was read before the British Association, enti lied " A Comparison of Athletic Men of Great Britain with Greek Statues," by Mr. J. B. Brent. Mr. Brent in order to obtain those ol the athletic, measured and weighed celeliraied boxers, cricketers, wrestlers, rowers, pedestri ans and others. These he compared to the height and weights of soldiers and policemen, and then wilh celebrated Greek statues. And from such a comparison it appears that the wrestlers of Cornwall, Devon, and the north ol England are not inferior to those gtatuts. Taking him up af his Word. We learn from a distinguished Missisippian, says the Louisville Journal, lhat ihe Hon. Jefferson Da vis. United Slates Senator from that State, has constantly announced in the public speeches he lias made, that, il ihe people of Mississippi should, in the elections of the present season, go against the "State Rights party," as il calls itself, and sustain Gen. Foote. he would resign his seat in the Senate. Weli, the election of delegates to ihe State Convention has gone o verwhelmingly against Davis and his friends, and it is now certain that the Gubernatorial election to take place next month will go a gainst them still more overwhelmingly. We ha ve no doubt that Col. Davis will resign in ac cordance with his pledge, for, badly as we think of his politics, we regard hirn as a gentleman of high personal honor. f J is resigualion will be gratifying lo ail of the true and undeluded friends o the country. His whole influence in ihe Senate, as well as out of it, has been given lo the accursed cause of dinmion. Inhuman Conduct. We hare been put in possession of the following facts, for the truth fulness ol which we have the most undoubted authority. We are surprised, nay astonished, to learn thai there are persons in Cayuga coun. ty a county celebrated for the general inlelli. gence and refinement of her people who are so superstitious as 10 believe in the efficacy of such monstrous treatment for the cure of con sumption, or who are so uncivilized in their feeling as the account proves them to be. It is stated that about two years since a youri" man died in a neighboring town, of rnn.t.mn0 Hon, and was buried. Other members of the Inioily are afflicted wilh ihe same disease ; a j brother is not expected lo live but a short lime. wu unuy last, some 0! the brothers and other friends of the deceased, proceeded lo the grave with shovel and pick, dug up the body, oMned the coffin, cut the shroud, and then a Miigeon was found lo cul from lhat mass of cor ruption, the heaii and lungs, which were in a !tate of tolerable preservation, considering the length of lime since the daih of theperson. The heart and lungs were laid upon the grass, impregnating the atmosphere with their horrid odor, and wrapped in ihe pocket handkerchief ol one of the brothers, carried home and burned while the members of ihe family inhaled their incense, and afterward ate the ashes. The above are facts, but ihey are so sicken, ing and horrible that we felt inclined at first lo keep them from the public eye, but a second 1 bought led us 10 hope that by giving them pub. licity, step wouid be taken to civilize and re. fine the feelings of those who were participant! in the transactions. Auburn Advertiser. FROM THE COMMERCIAL Mr. Lokixo : A fiieod and neighbor of mine who is in the habit of (occasionally) bor rowing the Baltimore Sun, returned several numbers a d.i or two since, and said he would not borrow them again if they did not print it on large and clearer type. He had frequent ly borrowed it ol others who were subscribers and found it invariably ihe case ; the print so small and bad, that it was worth more lo read the news from it iban the news was worth af. ter gluing it ; especially if one has weak eyes. He thinks the Sun has done more for the optic al instrument rnnker, than it has (or the libera tors of Cuba. 1 must say I think he was at leasi hall right. I often strain my eyes ex. cessively to read it. I would be pleased lo see it appear in a nrw suit. Now that the Cuban excitement is over. C"Ths copies ue get of ihe Baltimore Sun are always very fair. The type is necessarily small. Borrowers axe always the most diffi cult to please in a newspaper. We suppose Ihere. are aloot half as many borrowers as sub scribers to The Commercial ; and we learn from the bor rotters lhat they are very much dissatUfied on several points. The matter of expense is ihe only thing agreeable to ibem. - Ed. Com. The Fallstnff Quifman.

Singular Discovery. A place has late ly been discovered in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, several feet befow the sur face of the earth, where is found petrole um, or rock oil. It flows out of the rocks, and is eagerly sought after as a medicine. ; 77e Rdigion of Paying Debts. One of our religious exchangeshas the follow, ing strong remarks'oti this subject. They drive the. nail in the head and clench it : Mn may sophisticate as they please. They can never make it right, and all the bankrupt laws in the universe cannot make it right for them not to pay their debts. There i a sin in thu neglect as clear and as deserving church discipline as in stealing or false swearing. He who violates his promise lo-pay. or withholds th payment of a debt when il is in his power to meet his engagement ought to be made to feel lhat in the sight of all honest men he is a swindler. Religion may he a very comfortable cloak under which to hide; but if religion does not mtke a man deal justly, ii is not worth having."
