The whole process, .from the molding to tbe
stacking, will take from six to eight days, more or
li ss, according to the weather. The bricks will
then be ready for: laying. If, during this time,
they be exposed to moderate rains, this will not hurt
them.
If, while lyragflat, any of the bricks should crack
open, close tbe craok by firmly pressing down upon
them with a spade or trowel. s .
The Foundation for a.durable building inust be
of stonuor brick. It must rise jibpye the ground
sufficiently to secure against water getting in (either
from the splashing of rain or otherwise) between
the foundation and the clay, superstructure. For
the same reason the outer lace of tbe foundation
must not project at all beyond the face of tbe clay
wall resting upon it; otherwise rain water-running
down the clay wall would be stopped by the foun-
dation, and. introduce itself between the two.
FntAsontBiKa.—It appears from the newspaper
that Palmer,.Cook & Co., the bankers, who were
furnished by the late Treasurer of California, with
Some $88,000 to pay the last jniy interest in New-
York, and, who/ailed to do so, hate 'been sned on
their bond for the amount. Their answer to the
pleadings is a curious mixture of Ingenuity and
impndenee. They, say among other things,, that
their bond Was given to the State Treasurer, for the
faithful1 d sbursement of ihis $88,000 waa not ap-
proved by the Governor as the law requires, and
tberelore is null and void ¡ that tbe bonds and cou-
pons mentioned to be redeemed thereby, were not
ihe bonds and coupons of the State of California,
inasmuch as no such, bónds and coupons were in
existsnce by authority bf law; therefore they have
not broken their covenant.

V heat (rawing near tbe Coast.
That wheat can be successfully raised aa well in
the coast counties of Texas, ha in Ihe more elevated
reg'oos, baa been, within the laat lew years, satis-
factorily demonstrated. Judge Rose, of thiucounty,
has raised three successive orops of wheat, two of
whioh—those of laat year and the year, before—
yielded well; and the third is now on the ground,
nearly ripe, and equal to either of the others
Good judges of this crop think it will yield about
thirty bushels to the aare. Judge Mnrphree, of De
Witt aonnty, as we are informed, has been eqnally
successful m raising this desirable grain. Mr. Wil-
liams, also, who resides on thi town tract, on tbe
west aide of the river, bss three acres of whsat,
looking remarkably well, nearly ready to harvest.
It is welt beaded, wsll filled, fcnd will produce 83
or 80 bushels to the acre.
Wheat raised in the wheat-growing dinriots of
tbe North and West, is considered of. very good
quality when it weighs 60 ponnJs to the bushel,
and yet the wheat raised in this vicinity weighs 70
pounds.
The blsok, stiff, hog-wallow prairie land seems
better adapted to wheat than any other. In suoh a
soil it grows thriftily, heads and fills well, neves
roste nor blights, and is a sure crop. Thus it would
appear thai the hog wallow prairiea contiguous to
tbe oosst, that have been considered nearly worth-
less, are likely to prove tbe moet valuable landa in
the State. The soil ia deep, rioh and endurable,
and ia well adapted to the growth of all kinds of
hedging plants or trees. The cutting ants that are
so tronblesome upon sandy lands, are never
in thie kind of sou.— Victoria Adv.

Mr. E. H. .CusHore, the able and indefatigable,
editor of the Houston Telegraph, arrived at Gal-
veeton this-mbrning: The Telegraph is now ooo-
ducted with aa muoh talent and,energy as any pa
per in the State. The people of Houston are ex-
tremely liberal in their support of Galveston pa-
pen, and we should be. pleased to see: the oompli-
ment reciprocated, both as a matter of good n
borship and because suoh papers ae the Telegraph
deserve general enoouragement.
The Houston Telegraph mentions the project of a

Houston and Texas Central Bailwey, at Hockley,
The distanoe is said to be bat one hundred and thirty

again, and the second course of bricks. In laying
the Becond cqurse leave, at the end of the wail
(.each oorner of the building,) the space of the width
of a briok, this space to be occupied by the first
briok of the b me course on the adjaoent wall, so
that the joints of. the first course, all around the

second, conree. And'so on with eaoh successive
course. o
Partition ITafis'.-r-Lay tbe bricks en their side
edges, bo that the walla'shall be six inches thick,
tbis being the thickness of the briok.
Outiide Finish —Whitewash, coal-tsr, paint,
stuco'i, maStic, or any other that may be preferred.
It is believed that ft. plaster of water-lime (Boman
dement) would be very enitable. If whitewash or
paint is to be used, flrst smooth the face of the wall
and bnrnoff any projecting ends of straw.
Interior Finith.—Battering is altogether super-
fluous ; the wall being impervious to water, mois-
ture will not collect upon its inner fact. Thia may
be whitewashed, psinted, or papered, or covered in
any other way that may be preferred.
Eoormo.—The same as with brick o
Ings. The eaves should project well beyond the
wsIIb, and shonld be provided with gutters, so that
Water may not fall from them, to be driven by the
wind'against^the walls.
In layibg the bricks, inserí into the wails pieces
of wopd.in places where there will be occasion to
drive in nails, hooks, eto
it will be all the be|

down the tormer may drop clear off the latter.

So it is with the orusade against African slavery.—
Its assailants have only indnoed the truly wise tp
examine its merits, and the result is seen in the
teachings of sages and writers in the north lb'favor
of the institution, based upon a knowlédge of the
races, the principles of free government -and the-
decreea of Holy Writ. The seed, even in the sail oi
the north, baa been sown, and is now producing a
hsrvest of sound opinion and reepeot for the laws
of men and God. Though greatly in the minority,
truth has taken'hold and tbe re-aetion is progres-
sing. In the1 south hundreds of thousands who hÜ
no decided views on the question, occupying a mere-
ly pssslvs relation, have been led to reflect and
are now the bold advocates of slavery. The insti-
tution is ten fold stronger iñ the hearts of thé'|>eo-

A .Littlb too Fat.—In remarking upon
elluring and specious promises held out by theio-
called Pacific Bail road Company, the State Gazet<
pertinently says— !
If thia railraod is ever made, Texas, w^e are tic
by the company themselves, contributes at lekt
ninety-five dollars on every one hundred dSlI
share. Tbe Golden harvest is held out in the m it

from the wild extravagance of a past day, but it 1
certainly nofetoo late to demand the full and pe

The Comet*
A aoientifio contributor < to the Newburyport
Herald, of the 12th, gives the result of an observa-
atnnohnilit- Uion of the comet, and we think hie aocount will
be read by many with peoullar Interest. We there-
fore give it, at length:
By the assistance of C. W. Tuttle, Esq., late as-
sistant at the Astronomical Observatory of Har
vare University, now resident in this city, we wi
able to see' this comet on Friday laat with 1
Breenongb's achromatic telescope, notwithstanding
the brillianoy of the full moon and the strong twi-
light prevailing at that time. It was more satis-
factorily seen on.Saturday night with tbe aame in
(trument. At that time it was on the oonfines of
the circumpolar constellation Camdopard near Ursa
Major. It exhibited a round, .nebulous mass of
light, Blightly.conoentrated, of about two inmutes
0* afe in diameter.' Its exsessive taintneason both
occasions, was owing to the united effeots of the
fu 1 moon and strong twilight. There being no
ktown star within the reaoh ■ of the ¿nnular mi-
crometer, its position oould only approximately be
determined.
At our request, Mr. Tuttle has furnished us with
tb« following particulars oóncerning tfao oomet:
This comet is one reoently added 10 that list of
periodical oomets of a short period, embraolng
Encke'-^BielaV, Faye's and de Vioo's. It was first
discovered by Mr. Brorsen, whose name It bears, at
Kiel, on tbe 26th of February, 1848. He describes
it as very faint, and though It remained visible
very long , time in tbe telescope, it never became
so to the naked'eye.
It passed its perihelion on the 25th of February
almost a year after its disoovery. Astromomers
soon found that no parabolic elements would satiety
the observations and hptook themselves to elliplii
elements, wliich were soon found to represent 1
path through the heavens, corresponding with tbe
observed one. Dr. Brunnow, Hind, and De Haan
were the most successful in computing the elliptic
elements. Their period was however, a little short
of tne actual one wbioh bad taken place; but it will
be reoolleoted thai no aocount of planetary pertur
bation waa oonaidered by them. Its return was an.

Many of our beet men were once in favor of thai
theory—I was willing to see it tried on a moderate
scale myself— btt the tact ia notorious that not 2d
men (nay, not ovto eleven,) in this city, ever oared
enough about jt to delay internal improvements,
deieat other more popular plana, or to withhold a
hearty good will and earnest enoouragement to any
plan that promiaed to succeed. Hence, tor all rea-
sonable purposes, our teilow-oitixens leaving a short
dozen) are unanimously in iavor ot sustaining the
roads now in progress and the present policy ot the
State, al least until time and experience devise a
better. Such, I«m sure, is the all-pervading feel-
ing of this city,> to whioh even my friend of the
News, though formerly very muoh in favor of tbe
State Plan, would fully subscribe, for he, like oth-
er rational men, g-Oes in for a developing progresa.
