The arrival of the Alfred at New York, fso:n Cadiz, which place she left o.t the 5ih of February, has supplied the eJi'ors of the New Yotk Conimeii ial Advertiser, with intelligence from Madrid to the "28th of January nine days later than before received. The ailairs of the Queen appear to be acquiring strength, a? she is said to lie on terms of cordiality and confidence with her ministers. Theonlv important measure which the latter had undertaken since their recent induction into cilice, was the raising cf (lie mili'aty force cf the country from the peace to the war establishment. 1 1 mr.v consists of 120.000 men (instead cf tJO.OOO) and it is supposed that this course has been

resorted to for the purpose of ridding i lie peninsula cf both Don Carlos and Don Miguel. The change cf the ministry had caused so great rejoicing- in many parts ot Spain, tint it had been deemed expedient to suppress tie manifestation of them from (ear of excesses. TheC.alist faction was nut extinct, hut was not regarded as formidable. General San Martin has succeeded General Vivas in the Captain-Generalship of Valencia, and General Yaldez taken the place of General Suarstield. both in 1 lie command of the army and in the Vice Royalty of Navarre. The raost important features in the present aspect of Spain, is the contemplated le ot ganizition of i!s government.

The Journal dtt Havre of the first of Fe am iry, ii its private correspondence ft a n Paris says, u It appears that a deplorable, in i:ua for duelling has pre vailed this week.

The adaption of sea-water for domestic purposes is about to be accomplished in France, by a Mr. Soehet, a naval engineer, who has submitted expciinvnis to the French Ministerof Marine who is so confident of success that a public trial of the discovery has been ordered.

I is peculiarity consists in the paits representing the land being raited; (bat which represents the water being depressed, with a rim on the outside for the purpose of holding water or some other liquid so that the ocean:-, sea, lakes and rivet, become real water, and thus a much more liveh and impressive idea of the actual state of ii;: e.Mlii is produced in the mind of the learner.

Manual Labor College. South Hanoicr Indiana. It is scarcely possit le to keep pace with cur spirit of improvement and enterprize, which does not creep tloth-likc or in a retrograde movement, as in old countries, hut llies almost with eagles'' wings, and with a celerity proportioned to the immense extent ot territory in which it is occupied. Within a few ) ears pa-t, as we learn from the Newcastle (Ky.) Advertiser, the beautiful town named at the head of this article has sprung up almost as by magic, upon an elevated p 'iiluai. in ihe midst of the dense primeval lot c-l that line the banks of the Ohio. Already il counts a thriving population of 100, and has a thicestorv spacious college edifice, with I GO pupils who are not o; ly taught the higher branches, but also the useful, athletic a:.d manual cmplov incuts of agi icult lire .md the mechanic arts on a farm of 160 acres, be lunging to the corporation, and

Il is the best kind of gymnastics, as it gives us a know ledge of arts that may lie em iuenily useful to us ia alter life, and which never can be thought to have any tliscied.t attached to them, where the whofo of cur population are and ought to be, by the very democracy of our institutions, laborious and industrious.

The ma or cf New York iccom mends that application be made to Congress for a law relative to emigrants coming to the United States. In his communication to the Board of Alderman, he states that it is the practice of Fngland and other countries of Europe, to ship off paupers and criminals to this country in order to get rid of ihe expense of supporting them: and that those paupers generally bring to the United b'.uies lite same habits and dis positions wutcti rendered them a bur then to th; ir own countrv. and become paupers or vagrants ia litis countrv. Amongst other instances, the communi cation started that some time hack a set of public robbers were shipped olF to ll.ts country, by the authorities of Hamburg. sA French Baton, who had committed a natural son of his to the care of a burgomaster, and for the space of fifteen ears seemed lo have forgotten his off spring, has recently bequeathed to him the entire of his properly, producing a revenue of 30,000 a year. When this: change of fortune was communicated to the lad it was with diHiculty he was made to comprehend it ; at length, how ever, he was convinced of the truth, and went to Liege, to he educated in such a maimer as would fit him for his new station in society.

, Complimentary, but just. The editor of an Oiiio Journal ((he Massillon Gazette) expresses himsclfin the following terms, not foo seveie for ihe occasion, though the mode of punishment he indicates ia somewhat out of the win : "Tin fellow who would basely desert, and after deserting, basely attempt to e xpose, an artless and confiding female, deserves to be nibbled to death by young tadpole?, in a stagnant frog-pond, in presence of his mistress, without benefit of clergy or consolation of friends. Amen."' A Mr. M. having lived two years in a state of concubinage with a Mademoiselle L.,the parents of the two young people at length agreed that they should he lawfully united, ami the marriage was to have taken place towards the end of the pre-enl month. Bal a few days ago, Mi. M. having gone out on business, leaving his intended occupied with heT embroidery, on his return found her dead. She had laken the unaccountable resolution of dressing herself in her wedding clothes, with a nosegay at her bosom., and a crown of orange (lowers on her head, and (hen shut herself up in a small room, and put an end to her existence by sutlocalion. French poptr. Outrage. A correspondent of the Ge: manto-vn Telegraph states that, n:i the night of the 27th ult., some person or persons entered the Reformed Dutch Ch an h of Manayimk, and stole the pulpit bibb; and hymn-liock, together with the pu'pit covering. They made their entrance through the pulpit window. It is supposed (hat the design of this sacrilege was not so much for gain, as for contempt of the word and the worship of God. The night previous, a n;u:iof uncommon stature was discovered by the sexton, after the lights were put out, just proceeding from a pew into the far corner of the church. He could give no account of himself, feigned great igno ranee, and was suH'cred lo escape. There can be no doubt but that night he was meditating his wicked design, and but for this timely discover, vvoul I hav e eiiectcd his object. A woman named Trvn thaji, died, i;i January last, in Maury county, Tcn-nes-eo, at the adv anced age of one hundred and fiftij four veais. She was horn in Germany, and was one of the number of Palatines who. emigrated to the British colonies at the time the first settlement was made in North Carolina, in the year 1710. It is rather a singular lacl, that her sight during the last twenty years of her life was as perfect as when she was young, although il had become apparently extinct at the age of 120. At the age of Go she bore betonly child, who is now living and promises to reach a very advancing age. The annals of modern history produce few such instances of longevity. DIABOLICAL MURDER A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday morning ov er the body of a man about thirty five year of age. who was found hel wen two and three o'clock, lying in Liltle Water sheet between Commerce sheet and Rolhcry's lane almost in a state of nudity. The person was identified as (hat of Minors Cannon, formerly Assistant Engineer of the steam-boats Pocahontas and Potomac, and lastly of the Lady of Ihe Lake. The verdict of the jury wa. that he came to his death hy some person or persons unknown. The examination of ciuhtor ten witnerses by the Jury of Inquest, declosed such positive and circumstantial evidence, a led to an investigation by Ihe Mayor, which resulted in the commitment of two indiv iduals, viz: William Tavlor, who has been some time trading in oysters between this place and New York ia the sloon Dandy, and Abraham Houseman, a carpenter by profession. From what we can learn it seems thai an old grudge had existed between (he deceased ami said I ai or. in consc quence of a lisht between them in New York, in which Cannon cam oflTvictor.

They met on Tuesday crenug, at a house in Liltle Water stree t, and nfter playing cards together, imputations of cheatery were made, and they went out to fight, but were separated by friends; they aferwards renewed the quarrel near the County Dock, and were parted by ihe watch. At a late, hour of the night, one of the witnesses taw thre men, one of whom wa.- tic e -eJ, standing at the spot where the body was found, quarrelling; deceased staggered and fell; and on the oide:.te adduced said Tailor and IL estma,: " ere remanded lur further cxaii.at.ou. When the encounter tc-.k place, the deceased was. fully clad, and it was supposed, from ids h it It r g found in County Dock, th.it the body had been taken to the dock, s'ripped, and re-placed on the spot where it was found, with tio other covering than his linefi and socks. Improvement in Chronometers. The re is nothing which ha? tended more to improvement in naviga'ion and commerce, than the introduction of chronometers, on board of merchant ehips. This little instrument is now brought to an astonishing deg-co cf perfection, and the navigator may adrnes! at any time ascertain Ids :xait titu-tlicn on the broad and Mrar .kl ss ccenn. Passages are thus made in a shor'.er time than

lormerly, ami ide a:ui property re rendered more secure. Anv menl in chonomcters which will render them less liable to error, ought therefore tohe regard d with itd crest hy the whole commercial cemn, unity. It appears, from an a; ti le i t the London Nautical Magazine for Dec mber that Messrs. Arnold and 1 )!.! cf London, not long since, am, caw, a d to the world, that they had ii;t reduced a Balance Spi ing, made of glass into the chronometer. It has 'inre performed so well at the Royal Observatoty, that the Admiralty Department ordered a trial to be made at Portfme i:'h, for the purpose of proving how far it would resist the concussion arising from li e discharge cf guns. Befe I-,. experiment was made, however, the chronometer met with an necidenf. bv falling from a table, w hich broke oh' the ver.e pivots, but the glass spring rcmai:."d uninjured. It was repaiied and ngafo sent on board the Victory, but no effect was produced on the chronon,e'er by the discharge, of cannon, not even of whole broadsides shotted, although il was placed in every variety of position. Thus any objection on account cf the brittlr nature of the spring seems to be obviated. Fraudulent trann.1:'cn. The Boston Alias of Tuesday l is', fay? u Charles Haynes, a merchant of this eily, was brought into the p.,;.. ;-,.. vpMerday, on complaint of M'-. Mf-rriil ; or.c of the edliccrsof the city of New York, charging him with r'-taining a large amount of good? bv false pretences, in New York, and with beh.;' a fugitive from justice in that city. Mr. Merritt presented to the examining magistrate an Executive warrant, antnorising him to convey Mr. Haynes to Ne w York for trial. He was therefore? discharged from (he complaint made here and was taken into custody by the agent, Mr. Merritt, to he taken (o New York. It is staled that (he amounl obtained wa eighty-one thou-aivl dollars. From the Waierii M'tho li$t. A Generous Act. On Saturday, (week before last,) as the Rev. F. E. Pitts, of this city, was a passenger en board (he team-boat Tobacco plant, Captain Or gan, a scene occurred the description of which cannot fail to touch every gen erous heart. T. lie boat w as rounding lo (or the purpose ol cllecling a lauding about sixteen miles above Clarkvillc. The curvature in ihe course of the boat had made a proud swell in the water, and a whirlpool near the wheel of the boat. The Rev. Mr. Pitts had just stepped out from breakfast upon the guards ot the boat with a scgar jn in his mouth, and saw a child, about four years old, belonging lo Mrs. Rama, Captain Organ's sister, play ing on the guards. The child was suddenly precipitaled into the boiling waves, near the wheel of ihe boat. Without waiting to give an alarm, or a thought to his own danger, the Rev. Mr. Pitts plunged in after the child. As he vtruch the wiitcr the child had sunk; and while he w;is somewhat embarrassed with his overcoat floating on the watcr.hc watched the rising, caught the child as it came to the surface, and swam ashore with the senseless little snlferer, and had the happiness to see its suspended vitality return, and place it in the hands of its mother. Such was his possession of mind, that he kept his scgar in his mouth until he reached (he shore. The grateful feeling of friends at such a rescue may he imagined, they can never be degerihed.
