New Yonx, August 15.—Tho steamship Teuto nia left thia afternoon, for Hamburg, with 118 pas sengers. k i '' ' 1 ~ An Overland Trip from Lake Ontario •; ,to Philadelphia.. - , [For Tho Frogs.] As every journoy must have a starting point,.we will presume ourselves to have;commenced our from tho shore of Lake Ontario, at a point where Sodiis' bay extends Into thefine fanning region of Wayne oounty. At the entrance of the bay are some extensive national protections for its com-, meroo, among whioh are a light-house j breakwater, life-boat,' Ac. On the eastern shore of thobay are two extensive oi ties, which were built by the imagi nation of speculators, previous to tho co&struotlon of tho Erie Canal, and consequent diversion of trade from the lake*. , These cities, like’ many Western ones at the present day, existed on paper; and hundreds of bpildlng lots,' wharves,’ and business' sites wero sold to those' who !had never Been there. * At tho time,of our visit, one solitary schooner, ‘ loading with'firewood,* was the extent of the busi ness transactions at tho cities .of Port Glasgow and Loomis’ Landing, if’we.except a; lew reaping ma chines, with their operators, soouring the fine crops of grain which now deok the thousand-doliar building lots of fifty years ago. A ride of a few miles brought Us to 4he village of Wolcott, whioh, though laboring nnder some of the disadvantages' of a town that has grown up in haste, has still many of the conveniences that make lifo^omforta-' bio. An extensive establishment for the smelting of Iron qre was ’in full blast at this place previous to tho fall of 1857. • • ’ From Wolcott we ppoceodod to Valley, and thonoe to Olydo, on tho lln'o of thoErlOCainal and New York Central ftailroad, Though ’somo por tions of the' Ante were covered with" primeval forest, a large portion of -the land was well culti vated, fend forms 1 valued at from" fifty ,to eighty dollars por aore. • * * , „Thls portion of New York is the greatest fruit growing section of the Union, and the quantities sent to the New York market are enormous. This year, however, there is not a peach in the county,.though apples and other fruits are very abundant. •>-*-£** This seotion qf cqnntry consists of parallel ridges of land/ elevated from qno to three hundred feot in height, extending northward towards the lake—yin some instances so narrow, on the topfoat it is necessary to flatten 2 them to giro a sufficient width for a carriage-road—which, of course, is ex cellent, ns-all-tho water flows' off At either side without following alopg tho oarriage track. At the line whero tho Erie canal orosses the State, the, ridges appear to Jmve been entirely, demolished, Icaviug in their'stoad a long plain, known as (he Dead -Level. * Our ride across this region was very-disagreeable, the . deep black mud preventing a footer.gait than a walk* At a point a little east of our line of travel,liqa,t}ie Montezuma marsh, covering several thousand acres with water,' to anon a depth that waferVgr&sses and rashes, or sqvqral feet in holgbt, the slimy bottomid thesluggishcurrent od foe surface, whioh sets out from .the foot of CayugdTLake. .A, threo-honrs walk of thehqrges convoyed, ua through this miserable region to the finely 2 cultivated lands surrounding Sepoca Falls' Waterloo, and Geneva; all of wbich aro thrivisg-looking places, situated within ft few lies qf theTqqt qf Seneca Lake. The country Lore' assumes: another' formation. The central lakes,foavinz a breadth of from ono to flro miles, and a length of from twenty to fifty, aro separated by parallel ridges of Jana, of perhaps twico the width of tho corresponding lakes, And attain a hoight of from tbreo to seven hundred feet.. We were also informed that the, lakes de scended to nearly a‘similar depth bo\ow their sur faces, but did not go below, to ascortain—so that is only given on hearsay evidenced- ,* QbWSfc# the seqtjon between the Seneca and Cayuga likea as the most attraellvo, we oontinuod on to tho -southward,' through , tl|e military lands, which can« be,, surpassed by few loca tions in this country, for richness of soil, and jndiojoua and.. neat cultivation. This region is, howevor, underlaid with a sub-soil of clay, lying in wave-like ridgeß, whioh ronder unaor-draming necessary to insure a eertainty of large .crops. WO one farm of some two hundred' acres,'oir whioh ’ ycte? qvpfj § ightv wits oTdraipf.. aro .usnally.lftid in parallel linos* at a distance' of about thirty foot.' A ditch is dug to the depth and ,a half feet, and a kind of tito, mado of clay and barndd in a manner similar to briqk, js lftldrotfie ditoh. Tho water finds entrance where tho ondsof tho tilo comb in' Cdntaot/and'is carried off in the tube. If properly laid,- it Is presumed those drains will last forever, nearly ;■ but, if co.t qq laid & & to form a cqntiifuqj j/qpe, they will aqqn hbqoiqh choked and useless. Bor this, and Qthor similar reasons, they &ro universally commended bygaosl farmers and condeipßfld by had ppes, Wo found tho - forms throughout- this reglop valued at from sixty to ono hundred'and fifty dol lars per aero, all crops remarkably fine, and “ farm ers a. merry tano*” iTho'"wheat orop, particularly, which the' threshing machines wore busy in separating from the grain, vfoa disappoint ing its owner#, by .yielding, thirty bushels whore twenty-five word anticipated,-'and forty bushels where thirty* It-may he woll to remark, that until tho present the wheat' orop hod boon a oomp&ra tlvo failure in this region for sevoral years. But tho continuation.bfiQur journey must bo reserved for another communication. IT. B. D.

The deceased, it will bo remembered, were in a small boat, with others: on TuCa'day qf last week, when .-they oame in collision with tho steamboat John AL Warner, and foe boat waffßwamped. The evidence elicited was .very contradictory, the most intelligent por tion of tho witnessea-swearing that the pilot of the Warner made orery effort to avoid the collision, and finally stopped the engine;'while one or two witnesses 'testified that the steamboat kept on her coarse without making, any attSfopt to avoid the skiff. . t It;was evident, fromitbo "statements of the witnesses, that tho drowned men and thqir com panions woro entirely ignorant of the management of a boat, and that no skill on foe part of the steam boat pilot would, hnye enabled hiip to keep clear of a boat which ,wda rowed ncrosshis oow. • •Tho jury, after deliberating for some time, ren dered the following verdiot; “ The death of Robert Porter-and Robert MoAdoo was- caused by an un flroldflblo collißion .with the steamboat John A.
