A discovery has been made in the _n« angahua, wbich, although but little importance appears to bo attached to it by the finder, must, says the local Times, turn out of great value. It is a deposit of stone which in all its chief characteristics resembles tbe Turkey stone of commerce. It is hard, identical in color, and for sharpening tools is quite equal to the j Turkey stone in general use. Mr Eater, ironmonger, of Broadway, has squared and mounted a piece of the stone, and finds that it answered every purpose. Tbe exact locality of tbe deposit is at present kept a secret. Tbe Odessa correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, writing in December last, remarks .-—"To show the fear of a bombardment which prevails here, it may be mentioned tbat the price of dwellings in tbe suburbs of Peresipp and Woldawanka, wbich are distant from the harbor, has increased from six to twelve times,"
