It is proper jto observe here that the mail deposits are found' mainly oil the left or South bank of the river. I am:weli"satisfied. that the time is not disf taiift when these rich deposits -wjll Jue. fully employ ed, and that their value will be well understood. It is true that experience will be necessary to deter mine some points in its use. For instance,-the most economical mode of preparing it in "order to adapt it to the varieties 'ofsoil on- which it is jiroposed to employ it. The blue marl especially requires im analysis in order to detenn'me its composition. The Jersey marl contains potash, aiul tliis substance-is regarded ;xs the jdincipal fertilizer in it ; and I hope it will be found that potash and' also )hophato of lime are elements of the marls of this State. These two are "the 'expensive '.'fertilizers, and are above all others to be sought for; for without them the cereals would cease to produce perfect seed. I have not attempted to give a detailed account of our examination upon the Cape Fear, but simply a statement of a few facts which I supposed might be interesting to your Excellency,.! or so far a? to satisfy you that the work is in progress. I am pleased with the attentions and intelligence of the gentlemen nvhom I have met, and the facilities which all wish to render,' -and : 'especially the anxiety which is manifested in regard to the w-ork.

New York, March 9. Late advices from Mon rovia state that the rebel chief, Grando, had been completely, routed by the forces of the Republic, and himself, captured. He would shortly be exe cuted, as the only means of restoring tranquility. The Liberian troops ot ly lost seven killed and twenty-seven wounded in the several engagements.

A few days ago. a steam fire engine was put in operation in Cincinnati, before a large body of the citizens, Lmcludijig the city councils- who wished .to- test w hether it could not be more advantageously employed- by the city than- the engines now in use. tn less than four "minutes and a half after fire had been supplied, steam was raised and the engine set in motion, and : in forty seconds more, water was forced, through 250 feet of hose, and thrown a dis tance of 140 feet from a three-quarter inch nozzle.

The following is au extract from the thirty-eighth, annual report of the Kentucky. Institution for the education of the deaf and dumb. ' .Whilst most persons are marvelously struck Avith the acquirements of deaf mutes, and. often,; accord to them and their Teachers more Miierit than they really deserve, (for, in truth, sometimes a very small amount of attainments ainazes strangers and spectators, and they are easily humbugged ;)' yet, on the "Other hand, there are persons who, up on a closer acquaintance discovering their many deficiencies, are disposed unduly to depreciate their acquirements, forgetting that thousands of thole wdiose faculties are perfect exhibit: not only-comparatively, but absolutely equal, and even greater deficiencies, both Of itnowleclge and1 of the use of written lanscuajxe.' 'Some .years since, a professor in a public institution visited the shop of a young j man, a raute, then conducting the tailor's trade in connection with this institution, to obtain from him a piece oi list. This word, in this sense, had happened never to. have been taught to the young man, and of- course he did not knbw w hat it meant. The professor gave diim sundry learned definition's of the meaning of list, and not being able to make him comprehend' its meaning, was greatly disgusted with the attainments of mutes'. Now, had the professor been asked to give the corresponding word for list ih Greek! or Latin, or had any one. attempted to explain the meaning of the word list,. if unknown to him, by definitions in either of these languages, a thousand chances to. one, he would have been as profoundly iguorant as the unfortunate L mute, who had commenced his education at twenty- five, w hen the memory begins to fail,! and had -been under instruction onlv-three or four vears.

It must not 'be forgotten, in conversing with deaf mutes, that the words 'must be spelled .correctly. Though they are often acute at detect ing an incorrect orthography, and often take grt at pleasure and pride in correcting the orthographical inaccuracies of persons4 with whonv they are con versing, yet ifthe word be so misspelled iis to change its verbal form, it is no longer to them the same word, and of course is not understood, o incorrectly, For example : if " know"' be written " no," thoqgh the sound remain the atrie to the ear; the word is totally changed to the eye;'" that -is-, to the mute,, who has no sense of sound'.

Fell, of Texas, Baltimore county, which i was iiiiported from Ireland, and is called the " Irish j Benefit" It is an excellent potato, and preferred to the Mercer by those who are the best judges. What makes it more valuable, it is entirely free from tie rot. Mr, Fell having them planted in the same field w ith the mercer, potato, the mercers rot tinr, while the new variety all remained sound.

Anecdote; of the Scltaxv Late letters from Constantinople relate an 1 anecdote of the Sultan, which is quite worthy the Arabian Nights. A rich Armenian had lost a portfolio, containing four hundred thousand piastrees, and for which he offer ed a reward of forty thousand. The portfolio was found, and the reward claimed by a very honest and poor old man, but the Armenian, in order to escape payment, then declared that the portfolio also contained a very valuable ring, which tke old man must have Stolen. The affiiir was brought before the Sultan, who, having ascertained the honesty of the old man, and the well-known avarice of his adversary, decided that, as the Armenian declared that his portfolio contained aijring. this ' could not be the one he had lost, and he had better return it to the, old man and continue to: advertise for his' own. . - t !
