LAMES K. SIMON, 83 Sontb Sixth street, exclusive agent, for this city, at office ot the American Cyclopedia. A French journal says that the sound ings for the new transatlantic cable have enabled comparisons to be made of the depths of the different seas. Generally speaking, they are not of any great’ depth in the neighborhood of Continents;! thus, the Baltic, between Germany andi Sweden, is only 120 feet deep; hnd the; Adriatic, between Venice and Trieste, 130 feet. The greatest depth of the chan nel between France and England does! not exceed 400 feet, while to the south west of Ireland, where the sSa is open,! the depth is more than 2,000 feet. The seas to the south of Europe are much deeper than those in the interior. In the narrowest part" of the Straits of Gib raltar the depth is only 1,000 feet, while a little more to the east it is 3,000 feet.; On the coast of Spain the depth is nearly: 6,000 feet. At 250 miles south of Nan-; tucket (sonth of Cape Cod) no bottom was found at 7,000 feet. The greatest depths of all are to be met with in the Southern Ocean. To the west of the Cape of Good Hope 16,000 feet have been measured, and to the west of St. Helena 27,000. Dr. Young estimates the average depth of the Atlantic at 25,000 feet, and' of the Pacific at 20,000 feet. ; Singular Accident.— TheTidioute Jour nal ssye: A singular occurrence took place this morning at the Hague well,from which' oil-men may learn a lesson. One of the tanks (in which were a few: inches of oil); leaked and a man jumped in to oanlk it; he < had been in but a few minutes when, over come by gas, he fell backward. Mr. Hague and another jumped in to rescue him, but believing him dead, and feeling Blck.speediy sought to escape when they found them selves took weak to drag theimeftea out and commenced shouting. Mr. Granger and others happening in the neighborhood,’ heard their cries, and getting ropes hauled them out, when all three recovered. _ . Cold Weatheb.— The Omaha(Nebraska) Herald of the 4th Inßtant, says that a show storm and cold, freezing. weather lately visited' that place. The Platte was filled with floating ice. The Leavenworth (Kan sas) Timas of the 11th says, that Sunday, night was the coldest of the season. The mercury early Monday morning was within four or five degrees of zero. During the evening it had grown decidedly milder. Bequest.— James Parker, who died re cently in Litchfield, N. H., left by will twenty thousand dollars to the Presbyterian church in that town.

This was an action to reoover upon policies of insurance on the South wark Foundry which was partially de stroyed by fire in tbe early part of 1865. Plaintiff claim that tbeiF loss was $61,801, which Included the machinery of the Chat tanooga and other vessels' that' they were, building, and which loss was proportioned among all the insurance companies. Defendants claim that their policies did not cover the machinery of these vessels, anfi that its valne ought to be de ducted from the-foil amount, and’that they then should be charged with their respective proportions of the lobs on the, balance. De fendants have already paid $3,029 each on iheir policies, which they say cover the pro portions of all they agreed, to insure. Plain tiffs claim a balance of $1,117 39 from each company. On trial. ■ Quarter Sessions— Judge Peirce.—The case of James Falby, charged with riot and assault and: battery, is still on trial. The Cholera in Turkey.— The Hon. E. Joy Morris, our Minister resident in Tar key, in a letter to the Secretary of: Slate, dated Nov. 15th, 1866, says: “I regret to be obliged to announce the reappearance of cholera at Constantinople. It broke out a few days since at Ootakem, a neighboring village on the Bosphorus, and out of twelve cases reported from that locality up to' this date, eight have terminated fatally. Four cases and two deaths have also occurred at the arsenal, on the. Golden Horn, whence it extended itself in the summer of 1865 Over the Whole city. One death from apoplectic cholera is reported from Bebek. The disease at present threatens to * ake an epidemic form. ; If it should become vpidemio, it must be very fetal, as the win ter here is generally mud in temperature, nnd much sufferingexists in consequence xmoßg the popniatioh, the great balk of which live in miserable tenements, and are -cantily *clad and ill provided with the ne cessaries of life.. It is to be hoped that we are not to witness a repetition of the horrors of 1865, when fully 50,000 people were swept off in six weeks by this aconrgeof hu manity.” One Hundred . Dollars a Mile.— The case of George W. Hank, against the; Pitts burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company, in the Richland county, (Ohio), Court of Common Pleas, resulted in a ver dict for the plaintiff of $4OO, at the last term of the Court Major Hank, in traveling from Mansfield to Crestline, failed to pur • base a ticket before entering the cars, the price of which was fifty cents. The con tactor, in collecting the fare, demanded eighty-five cents, which is the rate fixed by ;he company between the points when the passenger has no ticket Mr. H. refused to pay the extra thirty-five cents, whereupon ■ be conductor rang the bell, the train stop ijed, and be was pnt off. Before leaving the ■ars, Mr. H. .offered, in the hearing of the passengers, to pay the eighty-five cents de manded, bnt the conductor told him it was coo late, and that he must get off, which he did, and was compelled to walk to Crestline, a distance of four miles, for which he now r eceives $4OO, or $lOO a mile for the distance. The keeper of the lighthouse at Calais was boasting of the brightness of his lan tern, which can he seen ten leagues at sea, -.hen a visitor said to him, "What if one of • be lights snould go out?” “Never! im possible!” he cried, horrified at the bare thought, "Sir,” said he, pointing to the ocean, “yonder, where nothing can be seen, there are ships going by to all parts of the world. If to-night one of my burners went out, within six months would come a letter —perhaps from India, perhaps from Ame rica, perhaps from someplace I neverheard of—saying, on such a night, at such an bonr, the light of Calais burned dim, the watchman neglected his post, and vessels were in danger. Ah! sir, sometimes in the : dark in stormy weather, I look out to tbe sea end feel as if the eye of the whole world was looking at ihv light. Go out? Born dim? Oh,never!” A Fossil.— Mr. Elliott, of the Montana Post, 1b the fortunate possessor of a remark able fossil, whiah was accidentally dis covered by some miners in Bivin’s Gulch, Montana, and for which Mr. EUlett has al ready refused one thousand dollars. It is a molar tooth, taken from a fragment of jaw bone five feet in length, and weighing fifey seven pounds. The tooth itself weighs three^pounds, and is described as "of enri-: ons configuration, not unlike a duster of four beavers’ daws overlying each other. It is believed in Denver dty to be the largest fossil of the kind yet discovered. Forgery.— Sheriff Bysher, of Montgo- i mery co.,Pa.. has been made the victim of a forgery to the amount of $331, the disco-; very of which was made only a few days: ago. It appears that in October last, a: check for that amount, payable to the order: of one Gleason, purporting to have been signed by tbe sheriff waa bashed at the Montgomery National Bank. On last Thurs day it was discovered that this check was a; forgery. It had every appearance of genn-' ineness, the signature being a perfect fae : simile of the sheriff’s, and it is not snrpris-: iDg that the bank officers were deceived. The loss is, of course, borne by the bank. ' Southern Tea,— Southern tea is of by the Southern Cultivator as something: worthy of attention. It has tested a sample' raised by Mr. W. Jones, of Liberty county, Ga., ana pronounces it to be in fragranoe! and flavor precisely the same as a fine arti-i cle of black tea.

This machine combines all the excellencies, but none of the defects of other Sewing Machines with which we are acquainted. The great varieiy of work that can be accomplished by its four different stitches, the reversible feed motion, the self ac justing tension, the rapidity and quality or the work done by it, clearly demands of us the award of the society’s highest premium—its silver medal.” At the NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE PAIR, held at Nashua, Fept. 2S£s, the “FLORENCE.” was awarded the highest premium given to Sewing Marhtnan. At the MECHANICS’ASSOCIATION PAIR, held in Boston. September, 1865, the “Florence” received a silver Medal ana Diploma, together with all other hewing Machines on exhibition. At the late STATE FAIRS or Pennsylvania. Ohio and California the Florence was awarded the highest premium over all competitors.
