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.

“HistPbius— Jus tioeTnompson.—Merrick
& Son vs. The Germania, Hanover, Fulton
and Scotland Fire Insurance Companies of
Ne w York. 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. ' 1
Enlargement ofForkst County.— The

Finance and Biulßew—Dec. 20, ism.
Tbamoctninarkable feature In financial circles to
day was the sadden tumble In Gold, which Is now fio»
percent lower than at the opening yesterday. This
sodden and unexpected fßll haa flattened Government
Loans, and had a-most 'depres ting-effect upon the
valnes of merchandise—particularly foreign fabrics.
Money Is abhhdant, and easy of access at 6@B per
cent, “on call,” and 7 to 9 per cent will cover the rates
for the best mercantile paper offered on the street.
There was less spirit at the Stock Board, and part
of the advance recorded yesterday In the speculative
share was lost. The Coupon Sizes,'’Si, sold at 112^ i
bnt this figure could not be realized for ronnd lots. The
’•policy” Bonds closed at losff; the old Five-Twenties
at 108%; the’6ls at 100; the ’6ss at 106%; the Jane Seven-
Thirties at 105%, and the Ten Foitlee at 99%. State

At the NE W ENGLAND and VERMONT STATE
FAIR, held at Brattleboro, Vt,, Sept., 1865, the Com
mittee on Sewing Machines submitted the following
report;
1 HE FLORENCE SEWING MACHINE
“We consider the perfect finish and successful works
Ing of the Florence Sewing Machine deserves mor
than a passing notice. 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. The verdict or the
people is unanimously In favor of the Florence on
account of Us many advantages over all others. Host
