The locality spoken of by Mr. New some m his letter to-day as the place for harbor of refuge improvements, is located one mile north of Cape Han cock. It is endorsed by every one at all conversant with its advantages. Major Spurgeon informs us that the canal would not be more than half a mile, opening in deep water at sea, on the outside, and deep water in Bakers bay on the inside. Inexcusably Careless. It appears that, tinners are responsi ble for the destruction of Norte Dame. The fire was caused from up setting a tinner's furnace in use on the roof. The Mishawaka Enterprise es timates the loss at $200,000. The statute of Virgin Mary, ten feet high and weighing over a ton, fell from the dome early in the day, and went crashing through several floors. Hun dreds of incidents might be given had we space. Great crowds from South Bend, Mishawaka and elsewhere, visited the scene of the conflagration. Mes. H. A. Derby.

Editor Asterian: On visiting Major Spurgeon to day, at his residence at Fort Can by, he pointed out to me a natural indentation in the high lands west of the fort, which allbrds a most eligible site for a ship canal. I had never seen nor read of any such site here, or any where on the coast, so I passed over it, and thor oughly examined it. The west end lies between North Head and McKinzie head. Each of these is a high volcanic heave up, and the base is basalt rock. Nearly all the summit of McKinzie head is prairie, and a most eligible site for a light house and battery. The North head is also a high volcanic heave up and of solid rock, at the base and for a hundred feet to wards the top. On it is a fine site for a battery. The distance that these heads are apart at their base is about 1,200 feet. The surface is very low, but little above very Inch tide. Proceeding eastward the site for the ship canal broad ens out, between the high lands, which are covered with dense hemlock trees, to some 1,500 feet. It then retains nearly a uniform width, along very low land, on which is a lake of fresh water run ning each way, to the ocean and Bakers bay. " The site finally ter minates at the west line of water in bakers baw near the fort. The whole distance from low tide to low tide at each end, is not to ex ceed one half mile. Vast quantites of rock are at hand for use if need ed. From the summit of Mc Kinzie lnjad I could see distinctly the bay line of the Columbia river bar, and the north channel. Op posit the west end of this natural indentation, particularly at North head, and for four miles north, is a deep, smooth sea, no breakers. Opposite, and south west of Ali Kinzii head, is a narrow line of at anchor a thousand ships. Large ITEI. ships can come round the light- In Brookfield, May 29. 187.

Urookfield to-morrow. for fifteen miles, all along which is safe navigation and good anchor acre. If this ship canal were made, there would be no bar nor break ers to encounter. As far out as sight can reach, beyond these two heads, is smooth deep sea. A breakwater for 1,000 feet might be necessary along tne wesc oase oi McKinzie head, but none would be required northward. A natural breakwater is already there for four miles. Hero, then, is a chance of letting ships in Baker's bay, a natural harbor of refuge, and en tirely avoiding the risks and pilot age over the Columbia bar, and up the danjrerous zigzag south chan nel, or in the better north channel. Tt is feared that dredging these channels, so as to widen, straighten and deepen them sufficiently, can not be done to endure any long time, as they would fill up with the vast amount of drifting sand around. As far as I could learn here, this site for a ship canal, in connection with Bakers bay, as a harbor of refuge, and entirely avoiding the entrance over the Columbia river and up to Astoria, has never been examined by scien tific men. Why not, is hard to tell. Less than one-half of the cost of making a harbor of refuge at Port Orford, and perhaps' not much more than would be required to make one at Cape Foulweather, would make this ship canal, which would endure for all time. Asto ria, Portland, in fact about all the vast country upon the Colum bia river valley and its ailments, are deeply interested in this meas ure. Millions and millions of dol lars worth of the products of the I land and of the water, must pass down and out of the Columbia river to the world's markets. The nations and peoples in other lands, who may have commerce with us, are inter ested in this canal and har bor of refuge. Why place such harbor where there is no back country to support it? There is no such point along the coast of Uregon or Washington territory short of Puget sound, that in all respects can equal this one. If persons at home and abroad doubt these statements of facts, as I see them, they will please come here and examine for themselves, and see whether I have stated any thing but truth in this matter. I hope that our senators and repre sentatives in congress will give heed to these facts. No one has employed me to make these state ments: nor am I paid by any one to write anything about matters on the Columbia river, or down here. T court investigation on this mat ter of the ship canal, harbor of refuge, light-house and batteries here to be made or had, if congress heed this matter. IXrVvin Xewsome. K LAB -OF 2V SUIT.
