Melancholy Shipwreck. The brig Can bria, from Falmouth, for Vera Cruz, returned to Falmouth on the 4th, with between 5 and 600 men, women and children, who were taken out of the Kent, East Indiaman, which she fell in with on the 1st March, on fire.

the House of Commons on the 4th of
3YI:rch, the army estimates were brought forward by Lord Palmerston, who stated, that "the increase, on the whole military establishment, amounted to 13,200 men, and the increase of expense to 328,000. He vindicated the addition made to the army, by pointing out the necessity which existed
for giving their colonies, in all quarters of
the globe efficient protection. On the score of humanity, too, he shewed the increase was called for, to ensure the relief, at the proper periods, of the regiments employed on foreign service. The propriety of taking measures with that view, he forcibly impressed on the House, by stating the course which it had been found necessary to pursue, on the breaking out of the Burmese war in India, when 5,000 additional men being required, five regiments who were about to embark for England, after twenty years service, were ordered to remain. The estimates encountered no opposition worth mentioning (that of Mr. Hutchison excepted;) but several members concurring ir the proposed vote, gave, as their reason for doing so, the present situation of the country, with respect to foreign powers. This situation, as they contended, justified the increase. We, however, (says the Courier,) can dis
cern nothing in the explanation of Lord Palmerston to corroborate the very insignificants thrown out on this occasion. His Lordship certainly said, an augmentation in the army was not rendered necessary by the state of England or Ireland, but it is not, therefore, to be inferred that the step was decided upon in consequence of any indication of foreign hostility." FROM HAVRE. The ship Cadmus arrived at New York

Congress was held at Bogota, to take into
consideration the resignation of General Bolivar, in conformity to his determination, after the destruction of the Spanish forces. Great interest was excited during the reading of the General's letter, and at the conclusion it was unanimously resolved, that he should be requested to continue to be President of the Republic. The election of Vice President, and Representatives of Congress, was to take place in April. An agent from Hayti, had arrived at Colombia, to pro
pose a treatv -of Commerce, as well as of
definite alliance, between the two governments. Bait. Pat. EUEjYOS AYRES. We are indebted (says the American) to our correspondents of the Wilmingtonian, for a Buenos Ayres Argus-extra, of the 16th
December last, containing the message of
the provinces of Rio de la Plata, to the representatives assembled at Buenos Ayres on the 15th of that month. From this documuent, a friend has kindly translated such parts as possess a general interest. After congratulating the representatives of the nation on their being assembled to promote its happiness, the address takes a rapid view of the misfortunes and embarrassments which the government has encountered and overcome. It advises them to pass such laws as will promote individual security; liberty of expressing opinions; inviolability of property, and particularly such res
olutions as will encourage the emigration of
foreigners, by opening to ail the road to industry. "The government of Buenos Ayres, (continues the message,) has a right to expect that you will approve of the political system adopted to unite the different provinces. The laws that have been enacted for this purpose; the consolidation of the national debt; the creation of the public credit; the different regulations concernii g industry, all have already produced salutary effects, and there are great hopes that they will consolidate the national opinion, and that tranquility so long sought for, will be, at last, firmly established, "By the documents herewith presented to you, you will perceive that the government of Buenos Ayres has endeavored to cultivate a good understanding and sincere friendship with the continental nations who are engaged in the common cause. A mi? ister plenipotentiary has been sent to the
'Republic of Colombia. The situation of
Peru, since her lat misiortunes rendered the appointment of another minister, near that government, indispensable. At present it will be necessary, that these ministers be confirmed by the general power of the Uni
ted Provinces.
propagation of which the holy alliance was formed. It is, therefore, difficult for them to recognize, as legitimate, those governments, whose origin is not obscure, and whose authority does not rest on mirdCie?, but on the simple aud natural rights of the people. Nevertheless, we have little to fear that the soldiers of the holy alliance will advance to this side of the seas to establish the odious legitimacy of the catholic kin. "Great Britain, not bound by any ties to the allies, has adopted, towards the American States, a noble conduct, worthy of a people, the most civilized, the most free, and, therefore, the most powerful of Europe. The recognition of the independence of the republics will be the consequence of the prii.ciples she has proclaimed. You may be assured, gentlemen, that this important
event, as far as relates to the provinces of
Rio de la Plata, will principally depend on
our shewL.g ourselves as a itation capable of
maintaining the good institutions which we already possess.' The address then alludes to the act of the king of Spain, by which he annuls the convention made with the commissioners of Buenos Ayres, and concludes by saying "The absolute authority of Ferdinand is a curse to Spain, and his name is only made use of, on this side of the ocean, to serve the interests of a few military chiefs, who carry on war on their own account in the interior provinces of Peru, as did the first adventurers who conquered that country.'" The address then goes on to express a hope that the liberator, at the head of the Colombian warriors, will soon drive the enemy out of that country and restore peace and tranquility it closes by saying "This is the situation of our affairs, in reneral, at this moment. Gentlemen, our hopes are well founded, and if they be accomplished, next vear will see the close of the war, and the national existence of the provinces of Rio de la Plata firmly established."
THE MANNER OF MAKING GLASS
BEADS AT VEMCE;
From a "Journal of a Tour to the Coast of
the Adriatic Sea,&c. by Drs. David Henry Koppe, and Henry Horrsehurch, The glass beads, which are known all
over the world, are here, and here alone,
fabricated in vast abundance The first operations, indeed, are carried on at Murano, a place adjoining Venice.
The furnace and the glass (white glass) are similar to what we see in common glass-
houses; but mixed with the elas- is a colouring substance, which constitutes the whole secret of the maufactorv. This is reduced to a state of fusion, when a certain quantity is taken up with the blowpipe by a workman, and made hollow with the breath: then another workman lays hold of the opposite end of the mass, with a similar instrument; and both run, with the greatest expedition, to two opposite points; thereby drawing out the
glass into rod?, varying in thickness according to the distance, which is often fifty feet,
or more, ror the performance of this operation, there is a long walk (like a ropc-waik) close by the glass-furnace. As soon as the
