ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC ("ANAL. In the year 182o the special attention of our Government was called to the stih. ject by the . new Republic of Central America. We were proliered by means ; of treaty an equal participation in the ; advantages to be derived ' y the proposed j M ork. A charge u'uduires was appointed j by our Government with special instruc- j # Iir. r> . irx lu'ii ivird the laciil- 1 /"H'o iu iiMcaiignic nnii . - . Hies which the routes offered, h it no re- , port was ever made. la 18^20 a memorial was presented to Congress hy a New Vork eompnnyr |,raying for aid Ironi the 'Government to cunstruct tho proposed Work, and the matter wo helievo was favorably entertained hy the Ionise of"Representatives, hut then; Jbeing no definite action upon it, the schcnVe totally failed. In 1830, the Government of Central A- j merica made a contract with a society of : the Netherlands, under very favorable auspices, hut owing to some difficulties which soon after occurred between Holland and Be giu n, it was finally ahan- ' doned. In 1935 a resolution passed Con. ; gress, requesting tho President to consider the expediency of opening negotiations with Governments more immediately concerned, in order *o secure hy treaty Ihe privilege to individuals or cooipa. nics of constructing the work, and permitting all nations the free use of it, on j the payment yf reasonable tolls. A sj>e.. ?-ial niront was nonointttd hy (ion. Jack- , water, and by clearing out obstructions - and lockage mav be made navigable for ship* of any classes. The whole length of* tiie route would be about 141) miles. The work is declatrd lo lie entirely practicable. The only difficulty of any great magnitude which presents itself, is the very large excavation necessary to admit shinl through the tunnel. Tunnels of greater length but less heights are contemplated in some of the works of improvement in this country. Nothing in reality is requisite hut funds to complete the work, and these we are wejl assured, will he furnished at 110 distant period. The cost variously estimated at from twenty millions to thirty millions of dollars. No doubt hut laborers can he procured in , Central Ameriea much cheaper than in the United States though provisions mav tic somewhat higher fiom the scar* w ? city. The advantages to ho derived from this > work when completed, must he immense. : The distance of China, Japan, and the 1 Indian Archipelago would lie somewhat j shortened, and'thc trade from the United ! Slates would he greatly facilitated by the more favorable latitude for winds and currents. The trade to the Pacific would he immeasurably extended. The infant colony planted at the month of the Colum. bin river west'of the Rocky ^fountains i >Yu\|td increase in population, commerce, and trade; its resources would ho devel- i oped, ami, in t|ie course of time, become : a valuable acquisition to our national I wealth. This work would do much to restore | peace and tranquillity in the distracted ; . country of Central America. In tiic Ian- \ guage ofAIr. Stephens, ??a gr^at citv will j grow up rn the heart of the country, j 1YUII Sll VJcllllA IWUJiig M?MII iv, iti uiu.lMj; il2> thoy roll into the interior; 1ier magnifi. cent mountains and valleys, now weeping in desolation and waste, will smile and be glad. * * New markets will he opened for products of agriculture and manufactures,* and the intercourse and communion of numerous and immense fc^dieg ftf the human race will assimilate and improve the" character of nations." Jtalejed, the whole world is interested in ft II J son to proceed thither and carefully ex. ! amino the contemplated routes of com i nmnication, both ait the isthmus of Pan. ! lima and at Nicaragua Lake. This ! agent examined tlie former route and re- j ported that a ship canal u*is impracticn. J hie at that point ; but, unfortunately, the > latter route was not examined. Much as has l>cen said and written, and the many j speculations which have been indulged j res|?ecting the practicability and cost ofj n canal over this r?utc, we balieve that ! only one satisfactory survey has ever been made. This was made some three ; or four years since, by a Mr. Bailey, a half-pay officer in the British Navy, who was employed by the Government of Central America. In consequence of the dissolution of the Government, Mr. Bailey was ne\er paid tor his labor, and the result was ntver published, until Mr. Stephens communicated it in his admirable work of travel* in Central America, lately issued. ' Mr. Stephen* per. o ally examined the most important part of the route, and gives many valuahl facts con i.ecled with the subject, never heretofore published. From the-survey referred to, it appears that the distance from the Pacitic ocean to Lake Nicaragua is a frac. lion less than sixteen miles. The lake is situated 12$ feet nhovethe level of lie* ocean; lictween is interposed the Pa I ma mountain 615 English feet above the lev? ! of the ocean, and 9IU feel above the level of the lake. It is proposed to as. I rend nearly half-way tip the mountain hv means of locks, and then cut a tunnel through a distance of three miles, and n ' then descend again to the- lake. The lake which is ninety-five miles in length and thirty in bread h, has a sufficient depth of water for the largest class of ships, and empties into the Atlantic through the river S . Johns, which is sevC* 1 cutv nine miles from mouth to mouth.? This river is navigable at all times for vessels drawing from three to four feet liie final completion of the work. Will J not the United Slates Government see the propriety of some definite and speedy action toward securing the incalculable advantages which will most certainly ac-. crue? - Xcnia Torch Light. NEW YORK yOLUJE. B fore Justice Merrit.-^ John Smith,' Jr. (not of Arkansas, hut of Pearl street,) was brought up for kicking up u row in the street. Judge. Mr. Smith, what is your business, sir ?

Your honor is very slow of belief, or you would have found that out before. Judge. Mr. Smith, you arc charged with disturbing the peace. Smith. As I airi a very peaceable man it is quite natural that such things should . be put to "my account." Judge. I fine you two dollars. Smith. It would afford me feelings of j the highest gratification to find half the money. Judge. Can you pay the money ? Smith. If your honor will lend me the amount. Judge. Officer, take him away. Smith. I iim very much obliged to j you. I will call on you "New Year's ! Day. From the Kuleigh Register.

ALEXANDER DARING, LORD ASHBURTON. i who has been appointed a special envoy from Great Britain to this country, was until lately, a member of the house of Baring, Brothers & Co, and was raised I to the peerage in the year 1835. He j ? n * * i isijowoi years oi age. lie married a ; daughter o Mr. Bingham, of Philadelphia ! one of the wealthiest men this country J has produced. His brother, Henry Baring, also married a oaughtcr of Mr. Bmg. ham The fortuno of the ladies at the time of their-marriage was a'mut $5000-, 000 each. Since when it has been greativ enchanted in value by the rise of real estate in this country. Their father, owned 2,000,000 acres of land in the,, State of Main, and largo tracks in this State of Penneylvania. The hotel known as Head's Mansion House, in Philadelphia was his private residence in that city.? Bighampton, in Broome county, New York, was also named for him. Lord As.hburtnn is the seceond son of j the late Sir Francis Baring, the eminent ; London merchunt, who \vj\s? descended from an old family in Devonshire, and IB????ajw" ,n hi? i ??i i was often consuJlod hv Pitt in relation to commercial affairs. His house is known to the merchants of the whole civilized world, and attracted much noiic3 from 1 the public in generat, when he placed j himself at the head of the great French loan, and appeared, on this occasion, at the Congress of Aix-la Chnpelle, 1818.? | r\ f iKio Inn n u'urn nvtromn I l|<; LIMIUIIMHI1 UI IU>^ l"?m " I'AUlyllH ly advantageous, and made his house one of the first in Europe.

When a youth in College, he was never to be a minute behind time in attending the lootures of the tu. tors, or the families were expected to assemble. One morning, the students were collected; the clock struck seven, and all rose up for prayer^ 4iik the tutor, / observing that Mr. Brewer was not present, paused awhile.?Seeing him enter the room he thus addressed^^Ti: 4,Sir, the clock has struck, and wclfWrh'ady to begin, hut as you were absent, we sup-| posed the clock was two fast, and there- | fore united." The clock was actually j too fast by some minutes. Two Irishmen wore one day a gunning and a large Hook of pigeons came Hying over their heads. Patrick elevating his piece, and liring, brought one of them to the ground. 'Arrah, (exclaimed his companion.) what a fool you are to waste your ammunition, when tho hare fall would have kiiled him.'
