OUR MINISTER TO SPAIN.

Mr. Everett has arrived at .Madrid and made his bow to king Ferdinand. His address to the king on this occasion is given

below. Its tone is a little too obsequious

and -court-like, we think, for a minister ot a nlain renublican neonle.

Madrid, Sept. 16. On Sunday, the 4th inst. Mr. Everett, Minister Plenipotentiary

of the United States, had the honor to pre

sent his credentials to our Lord the King at

the Royal Seat of St. Ildephonso, and at the samfi time to address his Majesty as follows:

Sire, The President of the U. States of

America has done me the honour to appoint me Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the government to yat'.r

majesty, and desired me to deliver to your majesty this credential letter from him. I presume to flatter myself that your majesty will vouchsafe to receive me with the same

kindness that your majesty always shewed to my predecessors. Although I cannot, in anv resnect. compare myself with them, at

least 1 shall endeavor to entitle myself to

vour majesty's indulgence, by trying to dis

charge the duties of my situation in such a wav as may prove agreeable to your majesty.

The President has likewise desired me to

assure your majesty of the sentiments of res pect and good will which the govemmen

and people of the United States entertain

towards your Majesty's august person, your

Royal Family, and the nation which you govern. The President wishes for nothing but to concur with your majesty in the adoption of whatever measures may serve to draw closer and closer the relations of good understanding which happily subsist between Spain and the United States. The geographical situation of both nations invites them to cultivate an active and extensive commercial intercourse with each other, that may encourage industr', and promote the welfare and riches of both. Thus nature, by placing them near each other in some important parts of their respective possessions, would seem to- have intended them to be friends and allies. The government of the United States will omit nothing, on its part, to second these favorable dispositions of Providence, and trusts, that the sentiments by which it is animated will meet with correspondent ones in your Majesty's breast. The President has given me the requisite powers to settle with your Majesty's Ministers the questions which have lately arisen between the two Governments on some points of detail. For my part, I shall be very happy if my feeble exertions can con

tribute to bring them to a close by means of

mutually advantageous and satisfactory arrangements. I entreat your Majesty to admit the homage of my. personal sentiments of profound respect and unbounded devotedncss. H. M. received Mr. Everett with his usual kindness and returned to him a most gracious answer. His Excellencv was next presented to the Queen and to TT.

go, and the difficulties to which in travel

Disgraceful. Wv. learn from the Phila

delphia Gazette, of Monday, that "a trans

action as disgraceful to the perpetrators, as

it was disastrous to the sufferers, occurred on Sunday evening at the African Church, on Sixth street, above Lombard. Just as the preacher for the evening was concluding his discourse, several young, well dressed, white men, presented themselves at the door, with scgars in their mouths, and demanded admission. This was refused till they threw away their scgars, when they entered, swearing 'vengeance against the nesrroes,7 and proceeding to the lower stove

on the men's side of the house, threw in a

quantity of salt mixed with Cayenne pepper They then retired. Immediately after

wards a disagreeable smell was perceived,

which was quickly followed by a dithcuUy

of breathing. The most violent sneezing

and coughing was heard m every part oi the house, and the dread of strangulation be

came genera!. The cry of fire was raised,

and the assembled multitude, amounting in

all it is said to more than two thousand,

rushed towards the different doors and win

dows, overturning the benches, and trampling under feet those persons who were so

unfortunate as to fall. 1 lie scene is more easily conceived than described. The con

fusion lasted for many minutes, and the ago

nizing screams of the sufferers drew the people together from a distance of several

squares. One woman, Catharine Williams,

was taken from under a pile ol bodies, and died immediately afterwards. Another, we are informed, died this morning. Several others were severely wounded, and many

slightly injured. The nature of the composition used by the young me?), was disco

strength of the same weight ot iron in the same platform. The whole weight of Iron in the boat when she shall be finished, will be 1,100 lbs.

She will draw when launched but 5 inches, and every additional ton, which mav be put on board of her will sink her one inch, in the water. The engine is upon the high pressure principle calculated to bear six hundred pounds to the inch, and the engine will be worked with not more than one hundred pounds to the inch. It will have an eight horse power, and the boiler is formed so that

the anthricatv coal will be exclusively used to produce steam. The ingenuity with which the boiler Is constructed, and its entire competency for burning the Susquehanna coal are entitled to particular notice, and the inventors, if they succeed in this experiment, will he entitled to the thanks of every Pennsylvanian. The boiler is so constructed, as that every part of the receptacle for the tire is surrounded by the water intended to be converted into steam; and thus the iron is preserved from injury by the excessive heat produced by the combustion of the coal. Its ibrm is cylindrical; its length about six feet, and will be placed upright in the boat, occupying with the whole engine, not more than ten feci by six The engine is nearly completed; Messrs. Davis and Gardner, being its constructors. The boat, which is the work of Mr. Elrar. is in great forwardness. The whole cost of the boat and engine will be about 3Q00 dollars.

The copy of the treaty is in the Portuguese language and contains the preliminaries of the recognition of Brazilian Independence. The most important part of the document i the article which continues the establishment of the same commercial relations which have heretofore been observed beiwectf the two countries, mentioning specifically that, the duties shall be reciprocal and at titleers. per cent. There appears however in this document a very singular reservation which is contained in the first and second articles of the. treaty. While the King of Poitugal estab lishes the independence of Brazil and allows his soil Don Pedro to adopt the title of Emperor, stipulates that he himself is also to enjoy the same title. Another article stipulates that the King of Portugal is to take evcrv means of reuniting the Portuguese colonics in South America, with the Brazilian empire. The treaty is signed by the following parties: Charles Stuart, Louis Jose de Carvalhoe Mello, Baras de Stanto Amaro, Francisco Vilello Barbossa. Y. Y. Statesman,

In the consequent confusion, and ihc efforts of the persons on board the Balize to save themselves it was with difficulty the Virginia wa worked clear of her and escaped a similar destruction, Being detatched from the ship, and the engine continuing to work, the boat ran ashore, when she sunk, all in less than ten minutes from the time the fire was discovered.
