GOLD IN MAINE - The Bath Tribune says -- "It has long been the opinion
of those best qualified to judge, that the geological formation of the
northern region of the State indicated the presence of gold, and that the
indications were stronger on the Canada side than on the American side of
the line. One statement, from a pretty reliable source, and which we have
not yet seen in print, is that for the year and a half which the English
Government have been employed in mining, and by all others who have been
engaged in that business, there has been about ten thousand dollars
obtained, and the average of success for each man cannot be safely estimated
at more than one dollar per day."

MR. WHITNEY'S RAILROAD PROJECT -- The London correspondent of the New York
Commercial says: "Mr. WHITNEY'S recent letter to the Times has caused
offers to be made to him to supply whatever capital he may desire for the
commencement of such a road as that which he proposes, either through the
United States or Canada. He represents that there is a feasible route
through a very large extent of good agricultural country, suitable for grain
crops and pasture, by which starting from Quebec, the Pacific might be
reached at Fuca straits, opposite Vancouver's island."

GENESEE VALLEY CANAL -- We learn that the water was let into the newly
finished section of this canal on Saturday. Boats from Allegany county may
soon be expected here. We were mistaken in stating that the delay in opening
was caused by the incompleteness of the work on the tunnel section. That was
completed some time since by U. C. EDGERTON & Co. It was the deep cut,
upon which there have been some heavy slides, where the delay was
occasioned.

Henry Box BROWN, who escaped from slavery to Philadelphia in a box, is
exhibiting throughout England a panorama of slavery. He has the identical
box with him, and was lately packed in it and went from Bradford to Leeds.
After their arrival at Leeds, the box still containing BROWN was placed in a
coach, and preceded by a band of music and banners representing the stars
and stripes of America, paraded through the principal streets in the town.
After he had been confined in the box for two hours and three-quarters, he
was taken out in presence of a few spectators.

The Chicago Journal states, that those who arrived by the Queen City, on
Friday evening, were but fifty-two hours from New York city. -- And yet an
individual, before the boat reached the landing, made desperate attempts to
get off, by climbing over the guards. Fifty-two hours from New York, and yet
the man was in a hurry.

DIED
In this city, on the morning of the 15th inst., Marcus L. HUBBARD, aged 19
years and _ months.
The amiable young person of whom this record is made came
to this place from New England a few months since, to engage in business
pursuits. About mid-winter, the disease that has resulted so fatally began
to manifest itself, originated apparently, by a severe cold, and in spite of
the most assiduous attention on the part of warmly attached friends, and of
all that medical treatment could do for him, has made him as we see its
victim.
In the Rural Cemetery at Worcester, Mass. his father and
mother have long been laid, and thither his own remains have been taken,
that the kindred dust may mingle. He came, as many are constantly coming,
young, ardent, enterprising and hopeful. He has left us again, yet by no
means as he came. Surely he had a mission to us, and what else could that
mission be but to furnish in his own experience, a salutary admonition to
those with whom he became acquainted here, who like him are young, and like
him, too, may die early!
His illness was tedious and his sufferings often very
severe; yet he endured all patiently, and by his engaging temper and
demeanor bound himself to those who loved him, by tenderer ties than every
in his afflictions he sought the Lord, and we cherish the hope that the Lord
inclined unto him and heard his cry. May the bereaved survivors of a family
to whom the visitations of death have often come, be consoled by the Word
and the Grace of God, and their sorrows at last be turned into joy.
J. A. S
At Pittsford on the 27th ult. Esther HILDRETH, aged 71
years.
The deceased was the widow of Samuel HILDRETH, Esq. one
of the first residents of the town of Pittsford.

DIED
In Parma, Monroe co., on the 28th ult. Mr. John C. BENNETT, aged 26
years.
Sudden and unexpected was the removal of the
deceased from life, and the relations he sustained in it. He was
engaged in his usual avocations until within four days of his death.
Mr. BENNETT was highly esteemed as a citizen and his loss will be
deeply felt; but by none will his departure be so keenly realized as
by his family, where he has shown the kindness of a son to a widowed
mother, and manifested much interest in the welfare of his brothers
and sisters. While the stroke that has fallen upon the community, and
his family by the removal of this young man, has been heavy, still
there can be no reasonable desire spring up to wish his return, as he
died with a hope in Christ.
