Wool Growing |u the Dnlted By tije cenaus retdTns ' just published, lt .tsp pears that a capital of $28,00°,00° is/ invested in woolen manufactures in JUmted States, that this employs 39,152 hands, that nearly 71,- 000,000 pounds of wool are annually consumed,., and that the value of the entire produotis $43,- 200,000- The capital invested is. about one- Ihird of the'amouht employed - in-the manufac ture of cotton in the United States, and .the 1 value of the product over twO'thirdß of_the_ value T of the cotton product. It is estimated by Sir. Ran dall, of New York, that the profits of raising sheep for wool is about 18-percent on the capi tal. But the profits on mutton, lamb, pelts and suet, ore from 30 to 40 per cent m the-northem States. Consequently, more attention has been, bestowed upon the raißing of sheep for the flesh than, for their wool. Thesupplyof. woolinthe United States has been so much smaller than the demand for the last seven or. eight years, that the importation of the article, which in 1844, was 4,500,000 pounds,' valued at $240,000, reach ed in 1850, 18,600,000 pounds, valued at $l,- 681,000. With the advantages possessed m this country of cheap land, well adapted to the pur pose, it is believed that, instead of being under the necessity of importing at ahigh price, we con supply wool to the rest of the world at a cheap er rate than it can be obtained elsewhere. A call for a wool-growers convention for the United States has been recently made m the Chi cago papers. Troubles In the English Cabinet. It is stated important changes would certainly have taken place in the Hassell ministry, about the Ist inst-. had not the French revolution occurred- A letter in the Philadelphia Ameri can, dated London, Dec. 5, says. Daring the Kossuth demonstrations in London, the citizens of one of the metropolitan boroughs presented an address to Lord Palmerston, con gratulating the Foreign Secretary for having aided in the liberation of Kossuth and his com panions; It appears that Lord Palmerston, in his reply, used a few imprudent words, whioh gave greatoffence tn the Cabinet. In the course of his remarks he said, m effect, (for I quote from memory.) that he heartily participated in the universal- sentiment of sympathy that had been expressed for the constitutional and liberal cause of Hungary. It was attempted to be proved that the reporters for the press had not given Lord Palmerston’s words correctly, but on an examination of their original notes, and on comparing one with another, they were found to agree together. A Cabinet Council was called, and, it is said, warm language passed between the different members. It is also reported that Baron Brunnow, the Basel an Ambassador, addressed a formal note to Her Majesty, complaining of the Foreign Secre tary’s speech- The Carlton Club, too, it was stated, had made the sentiments of that speech the foundation of an impeachment. Earl Grey exhibited great indignation at the Council just referred to, and positively refused to remain any longer in the Cabinet with Lord Palmerston ! It was agreed, at a subsequent Cabinet Council, that two or three members should retire; but just at the moment—it was last Tuesday—the submarine telegraph startled Ministers and all London, by announcing a Revolution In France! The British Cabinet was, in consequence, saved.’ Tina Chisese Lajtouage. —A correspondent of the Ohio Observer Bays that a Chinese baa ■writ ten a geography m his native tongue, in which he astonishes the natives by introducing them to the habits and customs of civilised nations, all of which they bad thought hopelessly sunk in darkness and barbarism. They could not bo more astonished if they received information concerning the enlightened circles in the moon. Speaking of this country, he thus descants on the character of Washington: “It is evideut that Washington was aremark able man*' In devising plans he was more de cided than Chin Shiog or Wu Kwsng ; in win ning a country he was braver than Tsau-Tsau or Liu-Pi- Wielding his four-footed falchion, he extended the frontiers thousands of miles, and then refused to usurp the regal dignity, or transmit it to his posterity, but first established rules for an elective administration. Where in the world can he found such a pubHo spirit?" COLORED MeK S CoNVEHTIOM. IS CIKCINSATI, the Tima says, •will assemble as stated. The mmp paper says, that a meeting of the colored people took place on Wednesday last, when fif teen delegates were appointed from Cincinnati. A committee of three were also detailed, to make arrangements for the Convention, by securing a Hall, and such other matters as may be needed. We understand further, that there is a good prospect of a large attendance. Of course, the proceedings of this body will be looked to with much interest at home and abroad, os there will be present some well educated men, and good speakers. Prussia. —The correspondent of the London Ttmai writing from Berlin under date of Dec. 9, states that the recent coup d'etat of Louis No* poleon has been regarded with much favor in official circles, and that Prussia will be prompt to recognise the new government in France, as soon as the change is officially announced. Of course- We presume the usurper will endeav or next to form on alliance “offensive and de fensive” with Außtna and Prussia. How hu miliating it must be to Frenchmen to be under the power of ttao Cossacks! The CoußcinMEH of Cincinnati must be a nice set. The 2of the 26th says that “A couple of city fathers made ‘night hideous with their drunken yells lost night. Warrants will be made for their arrest." We learn from the same paper that three hun dred and thirty persons have been punished by the police during the past month. From this we infer that the “fathers 1 ' of Cincinnati are dis posed to let the tfhoys have a clear swing.. US?* The following is an extract from a letter to the editors of the Baltimore Patriot, from one of the engineers of the Parkersburg Railroad, dated f‘Camp Bryson,” Deo. 14: Our surveys are progressing favorably.

Lola Montes. —Whatever Lola s talent as a dancer may be, we are assured that neither Tag lioni, Ellsler, nor Cento ever possessed such magnificent oostumes as this ex-Du Barry of the age. Qne dress is entirely embroidered with real pearls and trimmed with a fringe of the same. With this a whole suit of diamonds is worp, whioh is, to use a common phrase, “fit for a queen,’ 1 as. indeed it ought to be, having been given by a King, and forming part of the Crown jewels of Bavana. There is dress, of whioh wonders related. Besides all this, the lady, preparing for a long dancing oampaign, has brought bOO pairs of satin shoes with her from Pans. She has avowedly the most beautiful foot and ancle in the world; and though her danolng is not of any school, we hear from those who have seen her that it is most graceful and fasoinating. She will have a chance of wearing out all her shoes. Fanny Elisor wore out three pairs a night —A r . Y. Eve.
