Troop lor Texas. It is said and believed that the flying artillery company at Fort Hamilton, L. I. have received orders to hold themselves ready to go south at a moment' warning. The Norfolk Beacon of the 11th instant says two companies from Fortress Jlonroe are ordered to Texas immediately. They are to be conveyed by the U. S. Steamer Col. Ilarnex. at Norfolk. '

It ia stated by the Washington correspondent of t Ko i7jkiiri.r anil fvnnnirar flint 'thpro dütin hfii Ar .patched fhft. the Navy Yard Lere, one hundred an .: jifiy box,, of muskets! by the southern boat, to go , through by the mail route to New Orleans, and one o f . . hundred boxet in addition have been ordered to De sent after them as quick as thev can possibly be prepared. There has been alao 300,100 ball cartridges ordered to be prepared and forwarded by the eame conveyance with the utmost despatch, as well as a number df goe carriages and other military stores. So great Is thn hurry, and so urgent the orders of the government for the despatch of these warlike store, that I am informed the workmen in the Navy Ytrd wiH to at work all day to-morrow, although it will be Sunday." These movements, and others of the same order, are, we presume, rather precautionary, than because a collision with Mexico is confidently expected. In either case Üiey are prudent and commendabFo. The last Washington Union bestows the following remarks upon the general subject, which may be acceptable at this juncture. "The land is now virtually ours ; and yet there is some vague information received, (and it is partially confirmed by the last accounts from Matagorda, via New Orleans,) that Arista and Taredes are advancing at the head of their motley troops, to cross the Rio Grande, and invade the territory which we have acalred by a fair compact between the two republics. Vc leave it to the "New York Courier and Enquirer" to claim the unrivalled distinction of opposing the sagacious and spirited measures which the Executive is adopting, to protect this new territory arrainst the barbarous Cimiiichcs and the insidious Mexican. Let It not be snid that Mexico has claimed the coun try to the east of the Riö Grande ; that they have a post at Santiago ; that they have a few troops at that post, at the mouth of the Kio Grande, arid another small post higher up the river. We do not mean, unless they compel us by some act of violence, to dispossess them of these positions. AVe stand upon the defensive, so far as relates to the force they have al ready at these posts. Tell us not, however, of the 45,000 inhabitants they have settled on that river. The population on the river, until you ascend to the neighborhood of the Santa Fe region, is very email not more than a few hundreds ; and most of these rery Mexicans have recognized the laws of Texas, by Uniting with the Texians in electing from that country a representative to the Texian Congress. The country, too is exposed to the Caraanchcs, whom the Mexicans caririol control, but whom Arista might stimulate to vengeance against the Texians. What American, therefore, can witness the condition of things which is now developing itself in the region between the Nueces and the Kio Grande, without approving the precautions which our Executive is taking, and tiie preparations which he is making to protect our own property and our own people ! It is said that information (but not of a very decisive character) has been received, that the Mexicans intend to invade Texas. Under these circumstances, it is proper that our government should take sotrie precautions, and send on more troop, and adopt other measures for meeting our invader, and breaking the blow of LIS attack. We are happy, therefore, to see the spirit with which the Executive is preparing itself for every contingency. Gulf SqAUDRdx. Pensacola, July 30. The srjuad- - f on, with the exception of the brig Sotriers, left here on Monday morning destination Vera Crua ; expecting to be gone seven or eight weeks. The Washington riatc. We learn that the Washington plate was brought from Arlirigtdn House to Alcxcna, eri Saturday, arid ldgcd in the Bank of Fotomac for safe keeping, the proprietor being about to revisit the scenes of his youth, in the city of New York after an interval of fifty-four years, and thence to make a pilgrimage to the sites, hallowed by events ot Revolutionary mem ory in and around Loston. Among the plate is a tea service made in N. York, in 17d'J, and engraved with the crest and arms of Washington. This was used during the whole of the first Presidency, and up to the death of the Chief at Mount Vcrmon, Dec. 17U9. There is, also, a massive waiter of silver. From this venerable relic of other days were served the great men of the country, who survived the Revolution : Signers of the Declaration of Indeendcnce, members of the old Congress, and of the Convention that framed the Constitution patriots, statesmen, warriors including the illustrious ill itkS of Adams, Jefferson, Clinton, Sherman, LivingsUJrt, Norris, Carroll, Chase, Clymer, Koss, Leo, Mad.son, Ilarriiltcmj Pinckney, Jay, Mifflin, Lincoln, Steuben, Kndx, V ayne", Ogden, Hartley, McLane, Morgan, Harry Lee, Howard, and many others, alike brothers in the renown, and alike endeared in the affoctions of their countrymen When Bladen, the celebrated burglar", was about to rob Arlington House, he directed his subordinate, who made a reconnoisance of the building "Recollect, Bir, on your life, do not touch a single piece of Gen. Washington's plate, for if you do, the whole country will be in arms against us, and we shall be ruined forever. Ales. Utrz. "Washing by Machinery. They are' washing in New' York by Machinery on an extensive scale. The True Pun says the clothes are first put in a drum with fuur openings, large enough to contain four hundred pieces at one time. Through the shaft on which this revolves, steam and water is let in upon the contents. In fifteen minutes they are thoroughly cleansed. From this they are removed to washing tubs and rinsed. They are then pressed between two iron rollers covered witli blankets, and the water is removed from them. They are' next taken to the upper story and dried. They are tlteu starched anj ironed, and returned to- tbe owner. Upward of 30 fem lies are employed in the establishment, where they are lodged and fed. The machinery is driven by a steam engine of 2 horse power, though it i not as yet all in use for this particular purple. The work performed daily is equivalent to that of 100 peruns, and the clothes are beautifully got up. Mars, Satcrn, and Venus. The planet jfatrs will attain its nearest approach to the earth on' the 21st of this month, at which time it will be little less than fifty millions of miles distant. Sj uear an approach of Mars to our planet, occurs but once in seventeen years ; and its appearance is now more brilliant than it has been since 1323. It now rises io the southeast about eight in the evening, and may be distinguished by its remarkably bright and deep-red color. Abut fifteen degrees westward is seen the planet Saturn ; while in the opposite quarter of the heavens, over the horizon yet glowing with the fires of the expiring sun, hangs suspended, brilliant with soft and silvery light, the star of evening, Venus. WoitTH Knowing On Friday last, a little son of Mr. Sax ton, in New York, drank an ounce and a half of spirits turpentine, carelessly left within bis reach. He immediately fell, his extremities became cold, his face livid, and he was apparently dead. Mrs. Saxton immediately got a bottle of safari oil from another room, broke otT the top by smafshing it on the table and poured the contents down tire child's throat. In ten minutes the contents of the stomach were thrown tip and the child saved, although lie suffered dreadfully all night. The presence of mind of the mother, well deserved the precious reward of the life of her babe, which would in a qtuirter of an hour have gone forever. In all cises of poisoning let every body remember tint a liberal d we of oil (any kind ifs the very best immediate rem'dy that can possibly be procured. A Hot KitxF.n by a Dog. Two small boys, says tlie Milwaukie Courier, sons of Mr. Eslinger, of the town of Grtienfield, were sent on an errand, on the IGth inst., when they met a boy and dog belonging to Mr. Cloment, a neighbor. The boys shock band:?; when the dog instantly caught the youngest Eslinger, a lad of seven years old, tearing his head, throat and tfirghs in a shocking manner- The boys first tried to brat oT the d g, but failed ; they then ran for help. Tneir friends arriving soon, found the boy dead, Iiis clothes torn to rags, and drenched in blood. It is said that bleeding a partially blind horse at tha nos-? will restore him to sight. So much for the W. To open a man's eyes you must bleed him in the pocket.

MEDICAL MATTKKS. CcRiors ScrciCAL Ort ration. "We have often beard of supplying artificial noses we daily see i teeth furnished more natnral than liie, but the following, a new face, artificially, exceeds all these. Dr. George Smilie, dentist, corner of Broadway and Chambers street, performed the following operation: Miss C, now a-'ed 17, was attacked at the age of 10 with bilious'fever, and was attended by Dr. , of New

York (since deceased,) who, in consequence pi an exa of ministration under a peculiar idio, tution . produced an ulcer on the mmHuiUii amiirrhinH a tarn it ItPnviurr or it may be its moderate adiyficracy 6i constileft cheek, which gradually sloughed away, leaving entirely exposed the whole ot the tecui on mm siue oi me iace, anu also destroying one half of the nose. At this period the disease seemed to abate in a measure, bot in a short time returned, producing neurosis of teeth and maxillary bone, the greater portion ot which was broken away in extricating some of the molar teeth with a view to arrest the progress ot the disease. This, however, was far from being the case, for the consequence of the fracture was a complete anchy losis of the jaw, From whicn it can never recover. She receives her food through a small aperture of about half an inch in diameter, situated in the centre cheek ; and although necessarily deprived in a great measure of the more solid kinds of food, she is, notwithstanding, apparently in robust health, under the enjöynient of an uncommonly high flow of spirits. A medical gentleman, thus describes the mode in which Dr. Smilie supplyed the artificial face of Miss . The whCle operation is highly creditable to his skill and proficiency in his profession. He (Dr. S.) fiirst took a plaster cast from her face and having remodeled the defective portion of it, cast from the plaster face a brass die, and from the brass die a leaden ono, between which two he sMck the silver cheeky with half the nose and the upper lip complete, which were painted to imitate the natural ones". The mode of fitting the artificial cheek was as follows": He fitted accurately a small gold plate to cover the aperture in the cheek leading to the mouth, and secured the plate to four of the teeth by means of clasps. Soldered to the small plate is a loop through which the point of a spring passes, which is attached to the artificial cheek, drawing it wp tightly and uniting its edges with the rest of the face, and thereby producing such a change in the appearance of the young lady as to defy detection at the distance of eight or ten feet. The following case, which is said lately to have occurred in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, is communicated to the Bedford Gazette by Dr. J. Reamer. Sophifcu Spielman was married March, 141 : in 11 months after marriage; was tapped for dropsy at which time being in May A'l, 17 gallons of a thick vised mucilaginous fluid, of a yellow color was obtained, this being the first operation ; the second was performed in August 143, obtaining 19! gallons of of the same; third time, Feb. 1311, 17 gallons; fourth time, May Ml, 13 gallons ; fifth time, July l&t, 171 gallons; sixth time, Sept. iid, 10 gallons ; sev enth timel October 15, 10 gallons ; eighth time Nov. 20, 16 gallons ; ninth time, January blh, lSlo, 1G gallons ; tenth time, February 17, lb" gallons ; elev enth time, March 2Jd, 15 gallons; twelfth time, April 23d, 1G gallons; thirteenth time May 2.3th, 15 gallons; fourteenth ti ie, June 4th 13 gallons; at which time she died, making about three vears from the period at which the firt operation was performed until she diet!, during which time she was tapped 14 times and 25 gallons of the. 1'uid characteristic of dropsy obtained in all! Before an operation she measured o feet 3 inches around the most prominent part of the abdomen. This is one of the mot extra ordinary cases on record, and occurred in Licking Creek Township, Bedford county, in the prabtice of Dr. Scott. Statistics of Smallpox. MrYJ. Fletcher read a paper; by lr; Stark, dn Uie statistics of Smäll-Pox. The tables contained therein showed a sating of thirty-five per cent of the population where vaccination prevailed, taking their date from the number of deaths which occurred previous to the introduction of vaccination. It showed that the pecceiit prevalence of the small-pox arose not from the inelficacy of the vaccine virus, or that its property became weakened by time, but from the neglect of parents in not having their children vaccinated ; and when instances did occur of the small-pox seizing persons who had been previously vaccinated, the disease assumed a much milder form, and the deaths cdndcenent upon it are Very rare It appeared from the conversation which followed at the conclusion of the paper, that an impression had gone abroad that the vaccine virus was losing its pow er, and, in couscquence ot this feeling, great careless ness had occurred on the part of parents in havins their children vaccinated. British Scientific Associ at ion. . Singular Death. -"On Wednesday a man named James iriis, aged 12Ö years, died in Guy's Hospital under the fullowin? circumstances : It appears that 0 i on "Wednesday week tl?e deceased, who was a groom to a gentleman residing tft Dulwich, was engaged in dressing a horse, when the animal severely kicked hira on the right arm. MetHcal assistance was procured, and leeches ordered, four of which were applied to the wound. In a short time three only were to be stjcn, but it was supposed the fourth had fallen off and got away. The deceased was the following day conveyed to the hospital. The wotmded arm soon began to swell in a most unaccountable manner, when Mr. roster, the house-surgeon, observed there was a slight discharge of matter oozing from the orifice. He deemed it prudent, in consequence, to open the arm, when to his great surprise he found the missing leech enclosed in the flesh, but quite dead. The leech must have crawled into the orifice of a very small wound in the arm, and it could not be seen. After the leech had been extricated from the arm, the deceased went on very well for a week, but symptoms of inflammation of the veins ensued, which terminated in his death. London Timesj Jt!y 4: Extraordinary Delusion. A remarkable examination for lunacy lately came before the commissioners in London and a distinguished Physician of the Metropolis in the instance of a man whose case seemed remarkably singular, owing to the peculiar hallucinations under which he was laboring. Among the most extraordinary was the idea that he had got several men in his inside, who were complete masters over him, and that unless he did whatever they wished, his death would be the co'n'seqitence. He also said that they had got five machines, which they set to work at one time, so that he was afraid thtft the violence of the motion would shatter hiiri to pieces'. They would riot allow him to move without paying an enormous snm, and for walking to this inquiry they had char l him three thousand trillions for every step he toc ! The Wondeks tSr Electricity. The Hartford Courant says, that on the Jih ult. Mr. Fowler, of Mansbeld, took a bed at JNonrrrgharoVand in the morning was found apparently dead froW poison. The usual remedies were applied without effect when Electricity was resorted to. At the first application ot the conducting wire to the chest of the pati'enf,- he r-se up but gradually fell back again. At tbe secchi shock he rose up, crying out " Oh," and then' fell1 back again ; but at the third shock he started up, crying out Oh God !" and sat upright with ease. In a short time afterwards, he aslied for something to drink, and tea and coffee were administered to him; in three quarters of an hour he dressed himself, and appeared almost crftirely recovered. He had purchased two ounces of laudanum, and had taken the whole of it in two dcSes. Some disagreement with his wife is caid to have been the exciting cause. Mesmerism ant Suroery. The Kennebec Journal says that on the third irist. Miss Patty Crommet, well known as a highly respectable milliner of Ai'gusta, was put in a mesmeric sleep by Dr. Jos-rah- lan of Bangor, when a tumor, weighing 2 pounds and 6 ounces. Was taken out by Dr. II. 11. Hill. During the operation, which lasted about 0 minutes, she was wholly insensible, and being awoke, stated that she knew nothing of what had been passing. On being asked if he had any consciou-ness whatever during the progress of the operation, she said she had not. . Quinine vr. Salicine.

FOREIGN SUMMARY. A Religious Excitement, similar to Millerism, has broken out in England, under the auspices of late ministers of the Established .Church, who preach the second advent of the Saviour. The leader is the Rev. Mr. Prince, His associates are the Rev. Georje

Robinson, Thomas Lewis Trice, William Cobbe, and Mr. Starkie the latter being the only layman that has yet taken an active part in preaching the new theory. Tbey Lave all been suspended by the Established Church. Mr. Trince has been laboring principally in Wales. He visited most of the principal towns in Glamorganshire and Carmirthenshire. The second coming of the Saviour, he States, will take place in a few weeks. Three of his Reverend companions were married a few weeks ago, under peculiar ciYcumstances, to three 6 isters, who were reputed to be rich heiresses, and who have now enrolled them selves among the number of followers. Ax African Slave Trader. The London correspondent of the Boston Atlas states that a person named M. Sonza is the great chief of the trade at Wydah, where he lives surrounded with oriental magnificence. He Las in his vast seraglio a harem of four bundrcd women ; his dinners are described as being equal to the feasts of Belshazzar, and served in the most luxurious manner ; no male person is ever allowed to go beyond his grand dining hall. He is exclusively served by women, six of whom serve him with food, of which he never partakes till they have first tasted of every dish. He trades in slaves to a great extent and has done so for many years. He is now quite old, and it is said he is generous and high minded in every thing but his dealings in slaves. When advised by the French commander to abandon his wicked traffic in human Mesh, and do penance for his sins as a slave dealer, by civilizi'hg his adopted land, he answered that a Rritish commander had already advised him to abandon the slave trade for that of palm oil, but that he despised that trade, as it would not afford him a sufficient profit to enable him to Letp up his present profuse style of living. Death of a Stock Gambler. A melancholy instance of speculating in stocks has just been exhibited in London in the death of JWr. John llay, under peculiarly distressing circumstances. It appeared by the evidence that many years ago the deceased came into the possession of upwards of j00,lK!0 with which he commenced speculating pn the ptock exchange until he lost every farthing, and was latterly compelled to earn a scanty subsistence by keeping a small school at Epsom. On Monday night he was observed about eleven o clock going heme to his lodgings apparently quite well; but not making his appearance on the following day, as usual, some persons of his acquaintance went to his room, the door of which was found locked with the key on the inside. io Answer lcin given to their knocking for admittance, the door was forced when the deceased was found lying on the floor quite dead, lhe room occupied by the deceased was in a filthy state, and swarming with vermin. There was no beddingln the room except a miserable old matresB, and scarcely arty other article cf furniture. The deceased had divested himself of his exterior clothing, as if preparing to lie down, and the only covering upon him was the portion of an old shirt which merely covered his shoulders. His room had not been cleaned for upwards of two years. A Horrible Dhama. A letter from Stutrrard of 29th of June, gives this description of an interrupted execution: "Marguerite Rudhardt was condemned to death for poisoning her husband with arsenic. Exe cutions are here performed with the sword. The sufferers are made to kneel, the eyes are bandaged. and then one of the assistants, throwing himself down on the sea fluid, seizes the victim by the thighs, and there holds him, while-another assistant seizes the hair draws back the head by it, and exposes the throat to the executioner, who with a two handed sword cuts ofF the head. At the instant when the executioner was about to strike the fatal blow in this case, a man with a stentorian voice rushed through the crowd, crying Slop ! stop ! and holding up a while handkerchief the executioner dropped his sword, the assistants released their hold, the prisoner rose, and as her eyes wtre unbandaged smiled serenely on the assembled crowd when lo ! it was found that there was no pardon, that this interruption was the ex pedicnt of an old servant of the woman's father, who hoped thus to obtain a respite tor her, and ultimately a pardon. After a dreadful half hour's delay, the prisoner was again bound, and her head fell on the scaffold at the first blow American Hemp. The American bark Wcsthcag, which arrived at Dundee, Scotland, in the early part of this month, brought a quantity of hemp, intended to be used for purposes to which flax only ha3 hitherto applied. It is said to make very excellent yarn, of small sizes, but it is leared that it will not bleach so well as flax. . The price is so ldw that it stands the spiniier considerable less than the flax, even after the expense of softening (5 to 4 per ton) has been added. We understand that Mr. Sham, of Dundee. holds a patent for softening the article prior to its being used cy the spinner. Schools in GERMAN'Y.--Germany is the best tauüh country in the old world. There are, according to a late statistical account, no less than (W,20 teachers of public schools, with 6,000,000 of pupils j 4.5I3U prole8sors oi learned institutions, with 7o,lK.X) pupils 1,400 professors of Universities, with 13,000 students ijiK) professors in the Seminaries for instructors, with 0,000 pupils and 2, W0 teachers, with 400,000 pupils in the polytechnic schools. There are, further, 30 Seminaries for preachers, and about 20 lyceums, 70 institutions for the deaf and dumb, and for the blind ; besides 5,000 teachers; and 4G 1,000 pupils, in the infant and other schools, not enumerated: There are consequently, in Germany, 70,000 teachers', TVltb 6,500,000 pupils, causing an annual expenditure to Government of. ..OOU.OOO rix dollars, or about $20,000,000 of our currency. A sixth part of the whole population of Germany is thus constantly at schCc!. A Russian Count,' his Countess and Children Burnt Alive by their Serfs.' We have received from Southern Russia the news of the tragical cud of Count Apraxin, well known for his divorce from his first wife. This gentleman, who treated his serfs with unheard of cruelty, has, together with his second wife and children, fallen a victim to their vengeance. The infuriated people, at midnight,' surrounded his castle, and having gutted it of its contents, bound the inmate3 and set fire to it. The Conrft, who had freed himself, attempted to' escape, but was overpowered and beatleri to death by his savage horde. The first wife of the Count Apraxin had married a Hungarian nobleman, but the Pope would not give his consent to this marriage, which, besides, was not recognized by law, her first husband being still alive. The catastrophe which has taken place Las now, howevery removed this obstacle, and the union having been sanctioned by the Holy See, the counters has been received at the Court of Vienna and by Prince Metternich. Dcbats. Romance in Real Life. The Journal de Frank furt contains a romantic story, that the wife of a tailor resrding at Munich, named Hilper, has lately become a Prirtess, and gives the following particulars : A fiti Ro'man" Prince was living at Brussels with his wife, but had nö male heir. The Frincess having again become pregnant, he threatened to repudiate her if the child was not a bov. She was delivered of a girl; but the wife of a Jew tradesman, M. II , being delivered at the snmc time time of a boy, the midwife made an exchange of the chilJren, and the Prince imagined he had a son. The b y died ot the age of six years, and the girl was brought to Munich," where the real mother secretly gave her a brilliant education. The Princess dying, however, and there being no supplies for the education and support of the daughter of her parents, the latter fell into povefty, and the girl married a Jew dealer, M. S- , who sobh after obtained a divorce. She then entered as a sort of housekeeper into the family of M.'de Spengel, and suUfecruently th house of the tailor, Ililpers, where she eml'faced the Christian religion, in order to accept an ofier of marriage from him, which was solemnized, and has produced two sons. The midwife being on her death bed. confessed to a priest who attended her, the fraud" of which she had been guilty, and placed documents in his harrds to prove her statements. After a suit of three ycaTs,- the lady hna succeeded in establL-hing her clains, and has been recognized by the father, who has" Settled his fortune upon the two sons. What adds to' the fTiDgularity of the .affair is, that Hilper cannot make'ep his mind to solicit letters of nobility, in order to accommodate himself to' his change of fortune. aKail I Court Peri .

TThe secret of a well fitting shoe, or rather of a pood looking 6hoe, and it is upon this principle that all French shoemakers proceed, but all English cobblers do not, is that it should be much longer than the foot itself, at least an inch or an inch and a half longer. And for these two reasons: first, that, since a squat, broad, dumpy foot, is much uglier than a long thin one, therefore you may always diminish the appearance of breadth, by adding to the reality of length ; and next, that when the shoe is long, the toes have plenty of room, and commonly 'tis here that the shoe pinches." No one has corns on his heels or the sides of his feet, let his 6hoc8 or boots be as narrow as he can well bear them ; it is upon those poor pent up, imprisoned, distorted joints of the toes, that the rubs of the w.orld come, and that that the cornfng process goes on.' If you would cure yourself, reader, of the most obdurate corn, or if you would guarantee your children from ever having any, let them, and do you, yourself, wear French chassures ; or else have the boots, &c, made fitting well to the foot at the side, and with exactly one inch, at the least, to epare in length, when standing in them. We'll bet you a hundred to one on the rreult, and you may ask any cordmmier in the Rue de Richelieu. Blacktcood's Magazine. The Viscount Williaumez, who died a Vice-Admiral in the French service, never forgut that he was once a mere sailor. Bein:: one day at the office of the minister of marine under Louis XVIII, an old officer entered, to whom had been granted a pension and the honorary rank of rear admiral. Williaumea recognized him to be an old captain, with whom he had formerly sailed.
