J The Board of Engineers of Internal Improvement, T7e understand, have finished tneexaminationofthe routes to connect the

Aucgrrany ana busquehannah rivers in conjunction with the commissioners of the state f of Pennsylvania, Col. Jacob Holcate and Mr. James Clark. b On the western side of the Alleghany mountain, the Board with the Comm?ssioncrs, ascended the valley of the Alleghany river to Freeport, the valley of the K?skimimtas,of the Conemaugh, and of the little Conemaugh, as far as its heads. On the eastern side of the AlleHianv

mountains, they descended the vallev of i

xjiun viap run, r ranKstown branch, the Juniata, and the Susquehannah,to Harrisburg. The best adapted summit level, appears to be, from the little Conemaugh to Blair's Gap run; as those streams are considered most conveniently situated to pass, in that

quarter, from the western to the eastern ' side of the Alleghany ridge. At this place, both deep cutting and a tunnell will be necessary; the former may, probably, re-, quire two and a half miles on the west side I

deep; the tunnell, it is apprehended, will not be less than four miles inlength. Sinking of the banks of the River. For some days back a number of eboutis (sinking of the levee) have taken place on both banks of the river, to wit: opposite 31 ad. Castilion's house, another opposite 3Ir. Forticr's, third one opposite Conti street, ami several others in the lower part of the city. The one which took place on

the opposite bank on 3lr. Mossy s plantation is very considerable, and isundoubtedly occasioned by the pressure cf the river which finding no longer its bed onthe6turrs of the suburbs St. 31a ry and Delor where levee have been made throws itself on the other bank. If the works which are constantly making bv several individuals, in order to create factitious hnttures in front of the property, are not stopt, no doubt but the opposite point mut be carried off before ten ) tars.

Yellow Fever yet nines in Charleston, and i! vn ir.itv. The city (remarks a writer, from that quarter) is a complete hospital, and we have more sick upon Sullivan's, bland than can be attended to. A gentleman removed his family to town yesterday in a most shocking situation his wife and six children at the point of death, with the corpses of two other children w ho died the night previous. A few days ago lie lost a brother, and two of his house servants, and I understand that his sister died a few hours after he arrived in town yesterday. If the fever continues much longer, God onlv knows what is to become of us.'' ' X YorA- Patriot.

Illinois. At a meeting of the "Quar

The Board of 3Ianagers of the American Colonization Society have determined to send, if possible, two vessels to Liberia, with emigrants this fall one to sail from the James river, and the other from some point further north, not )et designated. To accomplish this, large additions to their funds will be indiepensible. They, therefore,, earnestly request their friends and Auxiliary Societies to use their best endeavours to procure contributions. The remittances should he made as early at leat,asthe first of Nov. to Richard Smith, Esq. Treasurer of the Society, Washington, D. C. Yat. Intel.

( arc informed that a Air. Wm. Jones, il h C iUi,t 'has invented a plan by which

Tkaffic in Slaves. The following is a recent letter from Gaudaloupe, of the authenticity of which we are assured, furnishes proof of the enormous cruelties still exercised towards the wretched: Africans. Ships of war arc constantly cruising against the slave-dealers, but they regard it as nothing, and can always manage to arrive at port; indeed, it may almost be said that the cruisers protect them: "The schooner La Louise, Capt. Armand at L'Ansc a la Barque, Guadaloupc, early in the month of April, 182-1, with a cargo of 200 negroes, the remainder of a purchase of 275, w hich she brought out with her. The vessel not being found to be sufficiently capacious to contain so large a number, the surplus w ere thrown alive into the sea by the Captain!" Nature still shudders at this atrocity. Russian Voyage of Discovery. An article from St. Petersburg, dated the 9th Julv, says "The Russian expedition, com.rwi,J l.v Pint. Bellingshausen, has ic-

They inaccessible, on account of the ice w! .surrounds them, and the voyagers c not approach nearer than 30 miles, then only on the west side." From the Ixnlo;i Literary Gaze Polar Seas. The theory that are open seas round both the earth's has received strong corroboration w the last few months. We have now c table a letter from a naval officer at j theim who notices the fact that Capt bine had good weather, and reached C north lat. without obstruction from ic that the expedition might easily have ceeded farther had its objects so requ And we have also had the pleasure to t recently with the British officer, who, two vessels under his command, last son, penetrated to 74 25 south lat. in Antarctic circle, which is above 3 deg beyond Cook's utmost limit.- Her. found the sea perfectly clear of ice, i might have prosecuted his voyage towa. the pole, if other considerations had mitted. There was no field ice in s v towards the south; and the water wasinhabited by many finned and humpbacked, whales. The longitude wa between the south Shetland Islands, lateh discovered, and Sandwich land: this proves the former to be an archipelago (as was supposed) and not a continent. The voyage is remarkable as being the utmost south upon record, and we hope to be favored with other particulars of it. At present we have only to add, that the variations of the needle were extraordinary, and the more important as they could not readily be explained by the philosophical principles at present maintained on the subject. What Next. A short time since, an extraordinay operation was performed at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital upon a man whose sound thigli bone was cut open, and an old decayed bone extract etl. This man is now so much recovered as to be walking about the streets of Canterbury. We have now to record one almost as extraordinary, and which has been attended with tlie happiest results. A patient was received at the Hospital some time since with a very bad diseased liver. After seme time the case assumed the worst possible appearance, and it was resolved, as the only chance of preserving life, to tap the liver. The operation was performed by 3Ir. Finch, senior surgeon, in the presence of other gentlemen of the faculty connected with the establishment. Upon the liver being touched upward of five pints of diseased matter immediately flowed from the wound! A tube, nine inches in length, w as then introdueed and retained in the u-ound, through which a pint of the same fluid was dail) evacuated for a week! The poor man is gettting well. Kent Herald.

Fnr.i: Masovs. Accounts from Spain represent that a royal decree was about to issue, requiring all members of Masonic Lodges, to give up to the police, within 30 da) si their diplomas, and all papers and documents belonging to their respective lodges, upon which condition they are to be included in the act of amnesty. Those who do not comply,will he allowed a month to leave the kingdom, after which, all persons susprctrd of being masons, and at whose house papers to prove it may be found, will be bun? within 24 hours. If this decree, which evinces the very drunkenness of royal bigotry, should go forth, and an attempt is made to put it in execution, it may be the means of re-kindling a spirit of liberty in Spain, which will overthrow the tottering throne of the weak and superstitious Ferdinand. On Saturday evening, Gen. La Fayette attended in the court room and on the piazza of the capitol and received the congratulations of about 200 ladies. While engaged in conversation on the piazza, an eagle attached to the roof by a wire descended with a wreath of laurel in his beak, and crowned the hero. This was entirely unexpected, and its efTect was magical. Cheers reverberated through the building, and the handkerchiefs of the ladies joyfully waved in the air. J Philadelphia paper.
