A report tlmt tin ?? dent Imd occurred excited apprehensions i the minds of many that there w.*ui to I either postponement or a failure, lloweve this state of feeling was somewhat- relieve by the appearance of Professor PAtre' hin self on the platform of his cur, \vh.> infurn cd the spectators that two of tliecclla u't tl middle of the battery which lie wtOt aboi to employ had exploded?an occ-urrqhcc, I. said, which hud not before taken' place i the course of his two years' expenKMifc but that, in order that tfio compniiyN'irJ^c had assembled might not be disappbjoiei the locomotive would nevertheless move.

At the depth of four. teen feet are found the ruins of a city, hou' ses, paved streets, and mnsonic work.

These were stated to have been dried by a process peculiar to M. Gaunal, the celebrated embalmer of animal sub5" stances. This process is understood briefly to consist in dividing tbei larger vegetables into pieces, and placing, them in an apparatus into which dried n air is driven, until they have parted with all their water, and have become perfectly dry. |e In this condition they may be preserved for any lenjjth of time, and U is said that their flavor is not < at all interfered with, inaannch as nothing w taken w from tbem exc pt the water they contained, and o, that, after they are cooked, they are juat as good |it as when fresh gathered. If these facts, therefore, ,e are borne out by experience, the discovery is a very important one, even as regards vegetables, more " especially to ship owners, for they osn be furnished id in this state in qnantity, sod at a very cheap rata; nt bat, in addition to vegetables, ftitlts.ee apples, pears, id <>prioots, Aw., and even flowers, may be dried and preserved by the same pfocets, and, owing to the V rapHhy with which the drying to ooodacted, the "> latter retain their natural colors almost fls brichtlv >n a? wh?n flr*t obUined from the' ffcntai.
