A Xovcl 1'ndertak.iiisr. A London correspondent of the New Vork Journal of Commerce mentions an unJertakin;, remarkable alike for if novelty and vastness, which is in progress at (he Menni Straits: The boldest idea yet started by any living' Engineer, is that of Robert Stephenson, now ea;ed upon the construction of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, "who proposes and is now executing a tubular iron brieve over tLe Jlenai Straits, (to connect the shores of Caernarvonshire with the itland of Anglcsca a feat accomplished previously by Telford, but on the old and well tested plan of suspension bridges.) Mr. Stephenson's project is one purely original, and of gigantic proportions. He proposes to construct a tubular bridge of plate iron, one inch thick the plates to be riveted together in the form of a rectangular tube or tunnel, having1 a cross section 11 by 2Ü feet outside measurement, and to extend over the fctrait in three gjans of 4Ö0 each. Two lofty piers will be erected in the water to support the central span, at a sufficient height over the channel to allow the largest class of shipping to pass free, without striking their royal mast heads. There are to bo two of these tube laid parallel to each other, the entire length of each being 1350 feet, and thus allowing free transit of the trains in opposite directions at the same time. The clear space left in each tube for the passage of the train is 14 by 17 feet, leaving 9 feet of vertical dimensions given above to be accounted for. This is appropriated to the purpose of rendering the tube sufficiently stiff to bear its own weight and that of the train, by dividing- 6 by 11 feet of the upper portion of the "tube into 8 smaller tubes, arranged in two horizontal rows to resist compression, and the lower portion or roadway of the tube, 3 by 14 feet, is divided into 4 similar small tubes, to resist tension. The two grand tubes, containing the separate ro&dways for each train of cars, are to be bolted together, side by side, to resist lateral pressure from the heavy gales of wind common to this region. It is not to be supposed that any board of directors would have accepted such a formidable project as this, without first being well satisfied of the feasibility of executing it, and the sufficiency of the work for its intended purple when done. Careful and most elaborate experiments were undertaken by Messrs. Fairbaim &, llodgkinson men equally eminent for their, practical and scientific knowledge of the strength of iron as a building material and upon their joint verdict of approval the tubular bridge is now going on, the stone piers being in progress, and the iron work contracted for in part. In conducting these experiments, the gentlemen a'jove named discovered some valuable facts. They found that it was necessary to provide a much larger amount of strength in the tubes to resist compression than to resist tension; that wrought and cast iron stand directly opposite to each other in this particular ; that cylindric and eliptic tubes are far less able to re-

resist, weight applied horizontally than are tubes of the square or rectangular section. Hence, adapting the latter form, and stiffening it by making the depth of the tube nearly double its width, (M5 by 14 feet,) and then adding interiorly two rows of smaller tubes above and one below, they arrived at a form capable of sustaining 750 tons in the centre of a space of 45U feet, and as they state in their report, fully competent for the purposes of a railway viaduct, tunnel or bridge. The experiments were tried on a largeSecale, tubes of 8 by 16 inches square and 30 feet long being used. The successful issue of this great project will place Mr. Stephenson ia the same rank as Telford, Rroucl, and Smeatonc. Not so Fast. A southern federal paper says that Mr. Baker, of Illinois, was the only member of Congress that resigned his seat and went to the war.' The editor of that paper must have a short memory. Does he not know that Col. Davis of Mississippi, and Col. Yell of Arkansas, resigned last summer and are now in Mexico ? Bes. des, neither of these democrats came all the way back to Washington to draw two or three thousand dollars mileage, as did Col. Baker. Whenever these whig editors come acrosä a whig who exhibits patriotism, they make so much of him that they run him into the ground and break him short oil. Much credit was duo Col. Baker, considering the sentiments of his party, on the war question. Ha was well paid for his sacrifices. The Mobile Register says 5 ' The Journal has a right that we should give its explanation, but must not complain if we add a line of amendment. Davis, Yell, and Biker all departed for the wars "last season;" but Davis and Yell resigned their seats, and thus ?ave up their pay and emoluments. H.Iror A.A ot ,o,. K...

and back, although he came from Mexico; and recei ved aUo his mileage as a bearer of despatches to Washington from Mexico ; and moreover, gathered his stationary bill as a member of Congress; and we are assured, received full pay all the time as Colonel of volunteers. We doubt not but there are whigs in and out of Congress, who are willing to make the same sacrifices with, unflinching fortitude. England asd France. The London correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Vammerce, speaks in the following terms of the critical state of the relations between these two Governments : We are all waiting with some solicitude for the opening of the French Chambers. Unless I am greatly mistaken, there will be some exciting scenes enacted in the Chamber of Deputies, during the session which is about to commence. The Spanish marriage, as well as a number of other and smaller questions, are concurring, 1 am sorry to say it, to bring about a state of mind in both England and France, which will render a war at the death of Louii Phillippe a result of some trivial cause. It is deplorable, but nevertheless true. For myself, I consider the war between France and England to be almost inevitable. Indeed I think that almost all Europe will be involved in a war before a great many .years pass away. It will be a war for freedom; fur constitutional liberty ; for the possession on the part of the people, of their proper share of the Government, who feel that they have been long enough the slaves of the privileged few. Dot on this subjest it is not my intention to enter further ou the present occasion. At another time I may give yoa my reasons in extenso for the opinion I have just expressed. I will only now add, that Louis Phillippe is every year opening the eyes of the world to his true character, which is a compound of cunning, ambition, eeltishnecs, and talent for administration, such as few men have ever possessed. But the' end will come, cunning is not wisdom. The omission in the Royal speeches both of England and France of any allusion to this country, or to the war with Mexico, was remarked upon very generally yesterday and by some was looked upon as indicating that slight interest only is felt by these leading European governments either in the existing war, or ia the general policy and progress of the United States. Far different is our interpretation of this silence, which seems to us to denote, rather the extreme solicitude felt by each of these governments, as to their own difficult position, than indifference to such a war as that between the United States and Mexico, or about the prospects or progress of the country. For, in fact, what is now weighing down Europe, is raising us, and their calamity ia our gain. Be it our case so to use these advantages, that mankind mar judge us not worthy of them ; and that we ourselves may practically fulfil in our home of prosperity that first of moral lessons for. nations as fur tnen "Do ye unto others, as ye would they should do unto you." .V.

We should Uke care, too, not to think it for the interest of that great continent to press too soon up n tbe Spaniard. Those countries cannot be in better hands.

The money Market. . The news by the Hibemia, to the great agricultural interest of the country, is of the most gratifying character. Our farmers are not only able, by the free intercourse established between the two nations, to contribute to the relief of the f uffcring of the famishing pour of Europe, but to do so at great profit. But for the removal of the restrictions heretofore existing on trade and commerce, instead of our farmers being able to throw their surplus breadstuff's into England and France at an advance of 25 to 50 per cent, on previous prices, their produce would either remain on their hands or find a market at prices to the producer the amount of the duty less than it now com

mand. The advance of flour and produce, as shown by the present increased demand, is lull twenty-nve per cent., and if any of our producers will lake the trouble to estimate this increase of price on the whole stock of flour, grain, &c, in the country, he may form some adequate idea of the immense benefits which the fanners of the United States arc likely to derive from a free or unnecessarily encumbered trade with the world. It is not, however, the millions which the increased price on the present agricultural produce brings into tlte country that constitutes the chief advnutages of our present trade in flour and grain the removal of privileges and obstructions will operate as a stimulus to the farmer to produce more, to make the most of his means, and, instead of individual crops of hundreds of bushels, they will be swollen, in many cases, to thousands nor, with our abundonce of cheap and productive lande-, human calculation can scarcely fix a limit to the amount that can be produced. Aye, say thoe rho are opposed to free intercourse, it is all very well to opcu British ports to our surplus but we should close ours to all the world. We should get all we can and kerp all we -get. Those who thus narrowly reason forget that such a jclicy would destroy itself that trade, to be profitable, must be a reciprocal exchange of commtiilities that no party can all the time buy, never selling. I have corn and want'pork my neighbor has pork and wants corn we exchange. That ia unrestricted trade, and the thing which the friends of privileges and obstruction to untrammelled intercourse sneer at and ridicule as visionary and destructive. They tell me, "Mr. K., yoar untaxed and unobstructed trade is a very bad thing for you; do you just pay the Government the third of the price of pork you get from your neighbor L., and let him pay a third of the price of the corn he gets of you, and it will be much better for both of you !' That is the restrictive policy. Which, farmers, think you is the better for your interest, and will most advantage thi agricultural country! While all must sympathise wit'i the sutFering millions of Europe, all may rejoice that the laws of the two nations allow our farmers to furnish the required relief at lower prices than the Continent can, with increased profit to the country. Pa imager. w a The Lenders or the English Parly. It is well to call men and things by their right names. Animated by this desire, we have called the opposition or whig party, by the name they were known by in the war of lcü2 Federalists. They were so nettled by the recall of their dishonored name, that we reully felt quite concerned, lest they would not sleep at nights. In the abundance of our pity, we sur.g lullaby, and they might have rested in peace for in, had we not, in looking over the 3d volume of the "British Quarterly Review," had our attention arrested at page 232 by some remarks on these United States, which, for the benefit of the concerned, we reprint : From the British Quarterly Review, Feb , 1846. " Ii seems to be now admitted, either tacitly or openly, by politicians of all grades, that the democratic principle is now surely triumphant in the United States. The struggle has been a long one. The events of the disastrous war of 1614, the naval victories of the United Slates; the demh oi (Jen. Ross, and the retreat of his forces from Baltimore; the total destruction of Sir Edward Takenham, and his brave, but ill-fated troops before Mew Orleans; and the naval supremacy of the States on the Inkcs, were decisive as to the possibility vi coercing mis great repuouo dv lorce ot arms. I lie attempt was then made to effect by the influence of: money, that which the cannon and bayonet were impotent to attain. It waa endeavored to rule the union of States from England by means of a "moneyed aristocracy." This, too, has now utterly failed.

Hon. Andrew Stewart, a distin guUhed member of Congress from Pennsylvania, has recently paid a visit to Lowell. He relates, in a ter to the Umontown (Pa.) Democrat, Ihe following ; anecdote : In looking orer the pay roll or book, which I acci-' dentally picked up from the table, I found on twenty-, seven consecutive pages, containing eight hundred , signatures, nearly ail girls, but a single one that made a mark or X, all written in a good and many of them in a most elegant hand, ihe clerk observed to me that Lord Morpeth, when on a visit to this country some years ago, happened to be present on pay day, and with some surprise inquired, "What! do your operatives write 1 " " Certainly sir," said the clerk, " the Americans all write." Directly there came in a 1

man who made a mark. "Ah !" said his lordship J within five miles of this town. The principal in the with a smile, " I thought you said all wrote." "AUimurder was a man named William Downing, the

Americans, your lordship this was nnEnghshman." V hereupon his lordship grinned a ghastly smile. Patriotism of Massachusetts. -Hon Caleb Cush-1 in g, in his recent eloquent speech in the ILmse of ll'prerentatices of .Massachusetts, in advocacy of the resolution making an appropriation for the support of the troops about to proceed to Mexico, reminded members of the equivocal position of their State in the estimation of their patriotic countrymen, and alluded to the singular fact that "for a period of fifty years there had been only ten iceeks in which she has been in harmony with the mijority of the Uniou!" A model Whig " State, truly. Col. CfsinxG, of the Massachusetts regiment, to whom the ladies of Mewburyport were about to make a present, gently reminded them that the men under him have olTorcd their lives to the country; that they are poorly clad ; that for himself the gift of a plain gold ring would be as much esteemed as any thing. This is not the first evidence that the gallant Colonel has given of his regard for the comfort of his men. Such attention to their wants cannot fail to endear 1 im to his regiment, and his example should be followed by every officer. McLean Meetixo. A meeting of those favorable to the election of Judre McLean to the Presidency was held in Pittsburgh a week or two since. The meeting numbered about 200, made up, as we infer from the proceedings, of a few of all parties. An address and resolutions favorable to the object of the meeting were adopted. The resolutions set forth that they arc adopted by men professing 'democratic, antiraasoiiic and whig' doctrines. Kother a hoch poch mess we should think, and not very well calculated to commend the Judge to the good opinion of any particular party.' An Incorporation." European papers laugh at the term " annexation,". which was employed inthis country on taking sister Texas into the Union, but they have ajvay there of.npplying softening phniEes which far exceeds any thing we have yet reached. The Austrian government calls the act of taking Cracow an " incorporation." It is suggested by Punch that fbr the future thieves should say when they are taken up for stealing a pocket handkerchief, why, my Ion?, I merely incorporated it." Abolition of Slavery in Delaware A select committee of the Delaware Legislature has reported a bill agreeably to the wishes of a number of petitioners, for Ihe abolition of slavery in that State. Any sympathy with political abolition is disclaimed by the committee, who consider it a subject belonrrinr exclusively to ihe State in which slavery exists. For many years slavery has beeu merely nominal in Delaware, and the committee is of opinion that if not now abolished, in a few ytars it will necessarily become extinct," . -

Gvy Cotton. A porcel of this curious aubstance has been left with us by Dr. A. D. Chaloncr.ox Thil adelphia, which is beautiful in its appearance, tears with a harsh sound, and can be hammered on an anvil without exploding by the percussion. One grain and a half, by weight, is equal to three grains, by weight, of ordinary gunpowder. The following process has been found by Dr. Chaloner, and kindly furnished us by that gentleman. Take of strong fuming nitric acid (nitroso-nilrtc of Barzeh'us) two parts by mea sure, and one part by measure of strong sulphuric acid, (oil of vitriol,) and mix the acids together, in a wide or open vessel in a current of air to escape the noi some and irritating vapors given off. Then place some clean cotton, free from grease, and picked into small nocks, in another glass vessel, and four upon the cotton the mixed acids, stirring with a glass rod quickly, to prevent the mass from becoming gelatinous, Then place the cotton under a stream of clean water, and wash it well until no acid remains, as will be evident from the taste, and by the use of Ltmus piper, riace the mass of wet cotton between two glass plates, press out the water, and then dry carefully If these precautious arc used, the gun-cotton will be found to be highljrexplosive on the application of fire, but not by percussion. The nature of the chem ical compound formed. Las not been yet satisfactorily determined. Some chemists think the cotton plays the part of a base ; but others, that it probably acts as a tertium quid, or by the doctrine of presence. For, with the exception of the cotton becoming tougher in texture, and harsher, it undergoes no visible change, The cotton, of course, furnishes the combustible part of the composition, like the charcoal and sulphur of gunpowder-Wlrilce'acIihTeupply the oxygen, cor responding to the nitre in gunpowder. inion.

Sctkexder of a Murderer from Starvation. JJaxtry, Thursday. On the 15th August, 1845, John Murphy was murdered at a place called Lisheeds, leader of a powerful faction in this county. Since then the polico were most desirous to arrest him and others who were abettors in the crime, and though n'-ht after niSht t,iey traversed the hills, and a large reward was offered, they did not succeed ; Downing and his associates having been sheltered and protectjCdbybis adherents throughout the county. On the Uth December last, James T. Flynn, one of the parties charged, gave himself up, saying that he could not suffer hunger, and those who heretofore fed him were without food themselves. On the same day James D. Flynn surrendered, giving as his reason the inability of the people longer to assist bim. On the 15lh December, John McCarthy, a third party charged, surrendered himself, and on the 21th, the principal, Wm. Downing, came in. He had been an athletic man, but his frame was so shattered, and his countenance so haggard, that he was not recognized until he gave Lis name. He said that he supposed be would be hung, but even that was preferable to the horrid death which awaited him if he remained at large any longer.- English Paper. White Slavery in Mexico. An officer in the Arkansas mounted Riflemen, in the course of a highly intelligent and graphic letter, dated at Monclova, and addressed to the editor of the New York ' Spirit of tbe Times," mentions the following facts illustrative of the odious system of slavery in Mexico: I noticed, one evening, our hostes busily counting money and making calculations, and curiosity led me to inquire into the cause. She was about to buy a girl for a cook, for a debt of $9G 50. I learned then and afterwards, that a man or woman may be sold for debt, or a parent may contract a debt, and pledge his or her child for its payment; and if not paid at the time the child is sold. A man so sold, receives, towards payment of his debt, five dollars, and a woman, two, per month. If the person sold docs not like his master, he may procure another to pay the debt, and take him; and when such other person offers to do so, and the 6lave consents, the first buyer cannot refuse to take his money. A girl so sold may marry ; if ber Lusband pays tbe debt, she is free if not, she remains a slave." (7-Rev. Mr. Sevs was tried for an assault and battery with carnal intent, at New York recently. The witnesses against him were the widow lady aged some forty years, upon whom the assault was fa id to have been committed, and her daughter, and in defence, he attempted to show that these women were no better than they should be. I he jury acquitted by giving him the benefit of great doubt on the part of several jurors." Rather an equivocal matter all round.

The Ciieif Postage Law and Tost Office Statistics. The old contracts of the Poet Office Department, says the New York Express, are fast expiring and new ones will be made more advantageously to the Tost Olfice Department. As it is, ihe receipts under the new law are largely increasing the revenues of the Post Office. Thus, take the receipts oa letter postage, for the last three quarters :

Total Receipts for Quarters. 81d,327 8JG,793 913,707 Fourth quarter IS 13 1310 1S10 $371,091 80 8713,72 C9 $760,555 0'J First quarter Second quarter The expenses of mail transportation during these quarters were as follows: Transportation. Whole Quarterly Expense. 4th quarter 134Ö . $383,017 $1,023,523 1st quarter 1310 tw'J.OW 4,04o,UlI 2d quarter 1340 C0Ü.615 1.055,372 Notwithstanding the multiplication of railroads and steamboats, the coach mail service of the last year was $15,537,033, and the cost to the Government was $1,101,570. The railroad and steambcat trans portation was 7,731,WW, and the cost $37U,ö(.U. Ihe total annual transportation was isJ7,JiW,414, and the total annual cost $2,71G,G73. The receipts of the mail service for the last year fell considerably short of the expenses, but we must remember that in these expenses are included all the mail services performed for the Government. We see that the postages of Congress amounted alone during the last year to $275,000, and the post-office expenses of the General Lxecutive Departments ought not to be enumerated in the deficiencies of the present law. There is no reasonable cost in the form of increased rates of postage; and the post-office taxes of the citizens should be laid to meet the expenses of members of Congress and o.ncers of the Government, and wc can conceive of no more unequal tax. The Treasury may much more properly bear such burdens than the correspondence ot individuals. Poverty and Affection. Death from Grief. The Coroner of New iork was called to hold an inquest, on Tuesday, on the body of a woman named Sabina Daley, who had died of consumption. The coroner had not yet gone to perform his official duty, when another messenger arrived and stated that James Daley, the husband of the deceased woman, was also dead. He had literally grieved himself to death. During a long illness, which his wife had endured, he is said to have been ceaseless in his efforts to make her as comfortable as possible, and when, at length, !he died, he expressed a wish that he might follow his companion to her long home. His grief was so poignant that he was at length seized will) dizziness, laid down and died. His unfeigned mourning had caused congestion of the brain. Fercvian SrMPATHT. Newf of the victories of our troops in Mexico had been received, and 1 Commercio, the leading paper of Peru, says : 'We are all turned into Yankees. We desire with all our hearts the triumph of the United States, and if possible, the annexation of Mexico, in order to consolidate as much as possible the grand s-ystem of republican government on our continent. The result of all may be the final extinguishment of all monarchial remains from America." Motive Tower or Gvs Cottox. We sc by a paragraph in the New York Sun, that Isaac Mcikle, Esq., of CamJen, N. J., is applying gun cotton to the propulsion of machinery in his factory. Tue engine is constructed on the plan of the ordinary horizontal steam engine, only Mere are two cylinders, one working in the other. The gun cotton ii ignited by electricity, engendered and applied in a novel manner. Any degree of power may be obtained. It is said to be safer than the ordinary steam engine, and one person can run it. A dog belonging to Mr. M. Clark, of Franklin, Mass., disappeared suddenly and mysteriously ou the 22d of December last, and was not seen or heard from until the 17th ult., when he was discovered floating on a piece of the broken curb in an old well, and taken out alive. In this cheerless and pitiless condition the dog had remained iwenty'secen days, (embracing the coldest weather of the winter,) with nothing to. support nature excepting water. He had gnawed the curb considerably in several places. A Man of all Wouk. Commodore Stockton is not only the Governor of California, but he is also the religious comforter and adviser. The Polynesian, of August 1st, devotes three columns to the publication of a Sermon preached on the afternoon of the 2Sth June, before the Rev. Mr. Armstrong's congregation by Com. Robert F. Stockton, of the Ü. S. Navy ! Kev. Mr. Armstrong interpreted the gallant Commodore's talk to the natives as delivered. We have heard of sailors spinning yarns, but it is something new for them to weave sermons. Remarkable. It is one of the remarkable results of the famine in Ireland, where Indian Corn has measurably taken the place of the potato, that the corn was selling considerably higher than the best wheat ; 70s. per quarter being the prico for Indian Corn, and GOs. per quarter for Wheat ! The greater ease and greater variety of ways of preparing Indian Corn for food, may account in part for this preference. We wero informed, 6ays a Pittsburgh paper, by one of the officers of Capt. Naylor'a company, that the Rev. W. II. T. Barnes had deserted. We have since been informed that he has not deserted, and was absent from the roll call trying to sell his coat, in order to purchase hymn books for the benefit of the other members of the company. A young gentleman paid his addresses to a young lady, by whose mother he was unfavorably received. ' How hard,' said he to the young lady, ' to separate those whom love has united! Very hard, indeed, replied she, with great innocence, at the same time throwing her. arms round his neck, 'and so mother will find it!' Oirlt 19 6tated in the Brooklyn Advertiser that the Rev. Mr. Maffit is tarrying in that city, to meet, before a conference soon to be held, certain charges which have been preferred against him in New York, connected with his ministry. There are supposed to be 75,000 Jews in the United States in New York there are about 12,000 in Philadelphia 2300, and in Baltimore 1600. The whole number in the four quarters of the globe is supposed to be nearly seven millions. A Hard Getting to Ued. The Scientific American says that a man in Grange county was found one night, climbing an overshot wheel in a fulling mill. He was asked what he was doing ! He said he was " trying to go up lo bed, but somehow or other, the stairs wou'dn't hold still." OtfA new way of imbibing knowledge has been discovered in the morning devotions of an ignorant tribe of Mussulmans. They imitate the character of a passage of the Koran on a smooth board with black dirt, then wash it off and drink the liquid. ftirThe trade of St. .Louis in the item of flour, for the year 1841, reached an anrrerrate of half a million of barrels.
