Wo leant from u statement in the Detroit Free Press, that the amount of copper brought from the mines of Lake Superior in 1849, was eleven hun dred and fourteen tone. The amount chipped in 1860 exceeded four thousand tons, and that to be shipped daring the present year will be sufficient to snpply the whole consumption of copper in the j Doited States, which is a little over six thousand tons. Tbs amount of ora which had.been raised od the shores of Lake Soperior up -to December, 1849, exceeded thirty-seven thousand tons,. This ora will, in the opinion of competent judges, average twenty per cent, of pure metal, so that even this amount, if reduced and taken to market, would this very year supply the United States.— The copper ore from the mines in Cornwall, in Englard, for thirty years past, has yielded but about eight per cent, of pure metal. There art now, including the two iron compas nies ori Carp River in the vicinity of the cele brated iron mountains, twenty-fonr.organized com panies in active operation. Their mines have been purchased of the government, and they em ploy at this time eight hundred and thirty men.—- The iron companies referred to are prepared to melt and ship the coming season twenty-seven hundred tons of pig iron. Much is said of the superior quality of this new product: of Michi gan, in remarkable malleability peculiarly adapt ing it for boiler iron, wire and machinery, and even in its crude state, owing to this fact, it readi ly commands the highest market price in Pitts burgh. The Fisheries of Lake Superior were established as long ago os the year 1830, by a company of enterprising adventurers, and the business was vigorously prosecuted up to and daring the year i 1840, when, owing to the enormous expense of transportation and re-shipment at the Falls of Sault Ste Marie, the enterprise, so far as ashing above the falls was concerned, was reluctantly abandoned. :The product of the Fisheries in 1840, the year they were abandoned, was ten thousand barrels. . ”■ Complete the canal around the falls and it is estimated that from fifty-thousand to seventy-five thousand barrels will be annually sent to market, and all'the supplies; both, for the subsistence of men employed and for picking and preparing the fish, will be drawn from the overflowing granar ies and well stocked, warehouses of the lower peninsula, where every article required in ex change for the products of Lake Superior can oe found m the most luxuriant abundance.

Having jast arrived from tbe city of “ Brother ly Love,” after an absence of several days, I cannot be presumed to have a - very intimate .knowledge of what has 1 been transacted by the “assembled wisdom” of the Keystone State during that time. A subject of scarcely less general import, and I am certain of as much real interest to a very large number of your readers, shall, therefore, oc cupy a large portion of thiß epistle. , . Who that , has had occasion to visit Philadelphia and remain there any length of time has not felt the want of some good Hotel, where hiscomfort and convenience were, matters of .primary considera tion with the Host. I fancy I hear your readers responding, I—l—l, and it is for the special infor mation of such that I purpose saying a word in regard to McKibben’s Merchant’s Hotel, in North 4th street. Within the past ten.years 1 have had frequent opportunities of testing the merits of moat of the principal Hotels in Philadelphia, and I deem it no disparagement to any of them to say that in all the elements which goto make up a first rate Hotel, the “Merchant’s” is decidedly ahead This is not merely an individual opinion- It is a point conceded by all who have ever made it their tarrying place while in the city, and the very best evidence that it is rapidly gaining in public favor, is the fact that even in the dullest [seasons it is largely patronized. The “Merch ant’s Hotel” has a special claim upon the citizens of Pittsburgh, snd of the Western counties. The proprietors, Messrs. McKibben, ore Western men, i and are, I presume, favorably known to ail of your readers. lam actuated m writing this by a feel ing of personal regard for the gentlemanly propri etors, who have ever made their house as pleasant as my own home to me. The celebrated Wethenll divorce case is again before the committee on ■ divorces, where it is to be hoped it will meet with such favor as it richly deserves A more infamous outrage upon the i community was never attempted to be perpetrated through the action of the Legislature. I say it is an outrage upon the community, for every man and woman who cherishes a proper regard for the sanctity of the matrimonial contract could not but feel outraged Bhould Dr. WethertH's applica tion be granted. But I. have no fears upon this point." The sentiments of the members in regard to it are fully expressed, and I predict for it an overwhelming defeat. For several days past the lobbies of the House of Representatives have presented the unnatural spectacle of a fatner waging an unhoiy persecu tion against bia wife, and the son laboring with honest zeal to defeat the machinations against his mother. If Dr. Wefherill isnot wholly lost to ev. ery feeling of shame, ha should shrink from the exposures which will inevitably follow this attempt to blast the character, not only of a wife who has borne him seventeen children, and who has ever sustained the character of a strictly virtuous lady but also of those children. We shall, however’ hove some rich developments soon, and a com plete txpoie of Dr. Wethenll, and the course he has been and Is pursuing it, this jtifamous affair. So soon as I can lay hold of these I will furnish you with them, and ask that you will give them a place In your paper, in order that the people may know upon what grounds this divorce is asked, and by what means it is attempted to be accom f plished. ■ ■ : I have been looking In vain fot some published account ol the payment of the entfro interest on the State debt, by our present, competent and efli» dent Treasurer, General Bickel, and very much to my surprise and to the shame of the Democratic papers bo it said, that not a single mention of the fact has yot been made. This is, to say the : least iof it, gross injustice fo Goneral Bickel, When i Gideon J. Ball once paid the interest of the State debt, not only was the fact heralded days m ad vance of the payment, but every Whig paper in the State wag loud m its commendations; while now, the Democratic Treasurer, inthout an y dis count or loan of any kind, pays the entire xntereU in par fundi, amounting to $940,274 27, and yet the poor compliment of a bare mention or this impor tant fact is domed. It is unfair and ungenerous treatment of n faithful and meritorious officer, and wholly inexcusable on the part of the Democratic papers Catch the Whigs pursuing such a course. Instead of permitting it to pass unnoticed they would have manufactured all the capital out of it which their ingenuity could have effected. I therefore call upon you. friend Harper, to do an act of justice to an honest, capable and meritori ous officer, by giving the matter more publicity and importance than lies within the abilities of a mere reporter or correspondent, Yours, * TUo flllislac Steamer Atlantic. Tho Philadelphia Bulletin contains the following facta In rotation to thostoamor Atlantic! whose non* appearance is (he subject of so much anxiety and gloomy foreboding. Speculation la tho only thing which can bo indulged io,and thoso of tho Bulletin's informant may bo as good as any thing else in that way t in tho aboooco of certain information : A gentleman of this city, who has friends on board 1 the Atlantic, has jnst returned from a visit to New I York, made with the especial object of ascertaining I from the owners the probabilities in regard to her I safety. We are enabled to lay boforo our readers, I briefly, the information thus obtained, and we have no doubt it will materially allay the general anxiety. It la not generally known that some time sinco, the I steamer Arctic, of the Collins line, took firo daring i a voyage, and was in danger for a time. In view of j I this, on tho day before tho Atlantic Billed from New | York, Captain Weal bad the whole of tho fire appar. atoa thoroughly overhauled and put into tho most | perfect order. It is also tho ordinary custom to try this apparatus every day, so that it may always bo in I good condition. This renders the destruction oftho I 1 ship by fire almostimpoaslble. Another fact of im- 1 I porlanco is that the ship, whon she sailod from Liv-I erpool, was provisioned for ninety days, which re -1 moves all fear of a lack of provisions. A nother piece I I of information was obtained from an experienced sea | I captain of Boston, who is familiar with the Azores, I to which islands the Atlantic is generally supposed Ito have gone. It is that, although there is. abund ance of cobl thoro, yot the mode ot coaling—by 1 means of iigbtora —is so tedious, that it would ro I | quiro ten or twelve days for such a ship as the Al« I Untie to take on board a sufficient supply to bring | I her to Now York. Having obtained her coal, the At- ] 1 lantio would most probably sail directly forN. York, and we could not have hear from her by tho Canada, and probably cannot hear or her by the Africa, dno. next weok. It is most reasonable to suppose that the Atlantic will report herself at New York before she is hestd of from Liverpool, and that, considering 1 all the delay at tho Azores, or from ao accident to her engine, oho may not ernvo for somo time to I como.

The receipts of the Monongahela igation daring the past year, are stated tohsvo been $64,313, facing an increase 0f510,641: over those of the previous year, and a still greater increase is anticipated daring the present year. The Painnount (Vs.) Banner, in noticing these facts* says— -11 We can see no reason In the world why; the yearly receipts on the Virginia improvement, from the Pennsylvania State Uncap to Fairmoont, when i completed* ehould-not be folly equal to those from Brownsville to Pittsburgh. As one itenuin.tho at> count we wiUotato that over the latter but 38,421 barrels of flour were transported last yeay—over the Virginia improvements It is a moderate estimate to to put the number of barrels of flour to be transport ted yearly at 260,000—f0r not only the floor pro* dneed in our own Btato borders, bnttnnch of that pro* | dneed in the counties of Faycito, Greene, slid Waab« ington, in Pennsylvania, would ascend the Mouqo* ] gahela, seeking a market in the city of Baltimore* The same increase may bo expected in almost every articlo of trado mentioned in the report. Bui SQP pose there should be no increase—snd we ore over willing to lop off a fourth of it, and to pat the te» ceipts of the Virginia improvement at three-fourths i of those of the Pennsylvania, which would be $48,- 336 36, from which subtract for yearly repairs and expenses, 88,236 36, (and surely they could not ex* -coed this) and wo have the net recoiptsol $43,00(1-- being twenty per conuim per oonum on the stock,] only $200,000 being required to complete the work! Should we not avail ourselves of this mducemont, if there wore no other, to subscribe for tho stock l We invito calculating men to examine onr statistics and estimates. We want them to look at tho pro- ; dnets of other cofintlea to this State, and then say whether oar esltoato of the products of the country on the Monongahela bo not correct.” About Bit o’clock last esentag, a terrific gas or* plosion took place, at tho philosophical Instrument Manufactory of Messrs. Chamberlain & Ritchie, Ho. 9 School street, which caused considerable damage to glass, but fortnnatoly resaUcd In bo injory to life. Mr. Ritchie, and Mr. Willard Coles, the foreman of tho shop, were tho only persona present at tho time, and wero engaged in eipcnmeots with the oxy*hy* drogen blowpipe. Mr Ritchie had taken by mistake an India rubber bag, about onc»third full of ozygen gas, supposing it to contain hydrogen, anerror which ] ho would have discovered by looking at tho cocks, i opon which the gas ib marked. Ho had proceeded i with the assistance of Mr, Coles to refill, as ho sup posed, a bag of hydrogeo, by forcing into it a qoanti* ly of that gas. Mr. Coles had his knees upon the bag during the process, which was continued till some 28 or 30 gallons of combined gas had been forced into the bag, when tho combustion. took place, which always results from a union of these gases. Tho eiplosion vrhieh followed threw tho body or Mr. Coles op against the ceiling, together with a] number of weights weighing 28 pounds* and other i articles—but fortunately doing no material personal injury to either Mr. Coles or Mr. Ritchie. The weights were forced completely through the piaster ing and Utbcs.

J This volcano is in a plain of mod, and on the l borders of the Lake. It is composed ol mud, and covets several acres. Steam and water are esca- I ping from some half dozen apertures. The mud is raised up into cones, the hrgbesi pot five feet from the general surface. They are , terminated | by tubes, some hardened and lined with crystals i i of sulphnr and other snbstances. One of the cones 1 throws steam and water 10 or 16 feet into the air. It escapes rapidly and with a sound resembling the escape of steam from the pips of a small I steam engine; and it ejects hot and cold water at I short intervals. One cauldron,-some four feet I across, bollsup until it overflows, then sinks sev- I eral leet and again overflows. Mothing is seen I but a mass of foam; the water is;strongly im. j pregnated with sal ammonia. 1 There arc other cauldrons from 10 to 20 feel in ] diameter, filled to within 3 or 4 feet with boiling I mud, which is occasionally thrown out in every I direction. About a mile further off is another collection of mud cones, and .on the opposite side an isl and of volcanic rock rises to the height of SO feet; nt the foot of it is salt in sheets, strongly impregnated'with &al ammonia; that from the Lake is pure, and is used by the Californians, In the vicinity of the volcano we saw several led* ges covered with pumice, and we met with it in various other places on the plains. I believe we were tho first white, men who l had ever visited the place, and vve had great dif ficulty in persuading the Indians to guide ub to it. They have a legend that whoa you op proach it. it. commences hallooing, and if you go nearer, birds resembling vultures or buzzards I fly out of it, and falling upon your head, are I sure to make you forfeit your life for your te I merity. I The mirage was so great that we could not see Salt Lake distinctly. The mud was very I soft, and owing to the condition of. our horses Iwe could not venture to it. The Salt in the vi- I cinity is found in cryatalized layers, from the I thickness of half an inch down. It is in com. I mon use among the natives. Ail entertaining book is Lord Holland’s remi niscences, latety published in London. It abounds, in anecdotes' of Bonaparte not before printed,?-™ We give one of the most characteristic: On his first nomination to the army of Italy, the Directory is said to have been unable or un willing to supply him with the money necessary for the journey of himself and his fild-descamps to the sport, and their suitable appearance at head quarters of. a considerable force. In this emer gency, after collecting all that his resources, the contributions of his friends, and his credit could muster, he is reported to have applied to Jpnot, a young officer whom he knew to be in the habit of frequenting the gaming tables, and confiding to him all the money he had been able to raise, in it self no great sum; to have directed him either to i lose the whole or increased a considerable amount I before the morning, as on his success, that night depended the possibility of his taking the com mand of the army Bnd appointing Junet bis aid. de-camp. Junot, after succeeding, beyond his ex. I pectalions in . winning to an amopnt in bis judg ment equal to the exigencies of his employer, J hastened to inform General Bonaparte, but he was I not satisfied, and resolving to try his fortune to tho I utmost, bade his friend return, risk all that he had I gained, and not quit the table until he had lost the I last penny or doubled the eum he had brought back Ito him In this also, after some fluctuation, the chances favored him, and Napoleon aat out to his headquarters furnished with sufficient to take up, I on him the : command with no littls personal 1 splendor and eclat, ! AanEtrr or Theathicau.— -Junius Brutus Booth, Jr,, (comedian,) and Miss Harriot Mace, both of the [ theatrical profession, were'arrested on Thursday night at Boston, just after tho performance, for bee I ipg entirely to 6 familiar. The arrest was at the in. stance of Mr. Booth’s wife, Clementina, a well known actress here. She chargee that since the 6lh of February at Brookline, the one has been guilty of I adultery, the others being-unmarried, of.fornieauon.; They were carried to Brookline, Mr. Booth giving: @4OO bail, and Miss Mnce @6O do., to appear at I Dedham on the 4th Monday in April for trial. * - V * #«“ \ ; * i * - * * <.» , t- if * < *• s n * . r ? y ►U f t k -1 ■* V'£ ».X ►*- % Terrlfto Gas Explosion.

' , Upon a projecting rock, at one Bide of the ave-. due, largo numbers had broken by their weight, and were lyiog in great profusion on the bottom of the- cave. Tbeße formations, like the base on which they grew, are sulphate, and-while as the driven snow. : : Others, resembliog glass, form np* on the; ceiling, 1 as well ed the floor, from an inch in diameter to the length and size pf a common knitting needle, and even smaller. The iucrosta» lion is frequently an inch thick, blit moregeneral ly from an eighth to a quarter of an inch thick. Much of it has fallen to the floor, and is crashed under the feet of the visiter, and the place it occn i; pied oo the ceiling is being replaced by a new for. i motion. But lam utterlyunable to describe it.— It must be seen to be appreciated, or any correct idea formed of Us beauty. . We visited many rooms with spacious domes | and stalactites of every imaginable siza and form. ! In one apartment the water finds its way through i a long range of projecting rocks, and the stalactic I matter is formed in folds and blades, like extend ed honey-comb, and bangs like drapery around the sides of the room. Upon the bottom is formed a great number of little pools,of every form, eieva-. ted upon the floor, like basins or troughs—the rim of each being perfectly level and Inclined inwards, F the stone which forms the basin being hot thicker I than a paste board. I spent three days in this ! wonderful hole in the ground—say seven hours I each day. The first two days were spent to ex«. I amining find exploring, and I think we must have traveled at least one mile per hour, or fourteen miles in two days. The third day I revisited the, most interesting parts, to procure specimens-for geological investigation. I had forgotten to say that saltpetre and epsom salts are found in various parts, iularge quanti ties; and I procured a lump of salts ofhalf a pound weight, quite pure. We.ventured a tnileat least, further than any one had ever gone before, and left it for others still to prosecute.- A quite transpas ■ rent eyeless crawfish which we found, was not the leastinteresting thing which we saw.. _ The entrance" to the cave belongs to Henry P. Rathrack, a wealthy, generous gentleman, who cheerfully tendered us every facility for examine ing the cave, and attended us as guide. I have no doubt when it is fully explored and surveyed, it will prove to be one of the wonders of Hoosierdom. DIED I . . : On Wednesday,February 12th, MS o’clock in tie af ternoon.
