Soult came down to the Chamber of Deputies, and, retracting all he had piomised in the way of military reduction, increased his demand to the original amount of 37 1,000 men, and 78,230 horses. This, of course, excited considerable sensation in the clumber, which was hy no means diminished when the minister of marine shortly afterwards asked lor nn extraordinary giant of 3.800,000 francs for increasing the naval force in the Mediterranean. Demands like these are strangely at variance with the pacific tenor of the French King's speech on opening the chambers. Portugal. Reports are current in London tint Coimbra has surrendered to thr! Pt-droilcs, and the Portuguese funds have again advanced. Lisbon dales, to Feb. 2d, state, that there h id been several skirmishes between the hostile parties, but the most important was cn the 30th January, when the Miguclilcs made an attack on t ho Queen's force, but were repulsed with considerable loss. On the sum? dny General Salhandu attacked the Miguelites, when they retreated, leaving n great number of killed and wounded; and lie succeeded in taking about 700 prisoners, among whom were a General and several officers. Seve

ral pieces of cannon also fell into the hands of the Queen's tioops, whose loss is but trilling. Some hundreds are reported to have deserted from the Miguclilcs. and there is no doubt lut that .Miguel's nrmv mut have decreas- j ed on that day full 1200. ' Germany. The Budcn government l.'i summoned to Carlshue, merchants and agriculturists from every district of the Grand Duchy, to obtain their opinion on the proposition for the accession of that Stale to the Prussian commercial system.

In the debut! in the House of Commons, o:i the address in answer to the King's speech, a serious altercation took place between Lord Allhorp and Mr. Shiel. The former having staled that the Irish members who voted and spoke against the coercion bill, did in private conversation use very different lanfiuag--. Mr.O'Connell pressed the noble lord to numo anv member who had thus acted. .Mr. Shic! culled upon the noble lord to name his informant, which he tiedined doing, but said, (hat as he believed iu its truth he took the responsibility of it upon hint-elf." To which Mr. Shiel replied, "then I call upon the noble lord to say whether 1 am one of t'noie persons to whom he has alluded." Lord Althorp 1 must say to the honorable and learned gentleman, Yes, he j. Mr. Shiel again rose and said, that, "before. country and his God, the author of the calumny :r a liar." To prevent bloo.lshed, Sir Francis Purdett moved that Lord Althorp and Mr. Shiel be taken into the custody of the sergeant at arms, which motion was put and carried. The Speaker then directed the Sergeant to take the parties into custody, which was immediately done, and they were removed from the house in the custody of tint ofiierr. After a short interval, on the ussus tnce of both tha gentlemen that they w ould neither originate nor respond to any hostile message, arising out of this altercation, they were released from custody, an I again took their seats in the house loudly cheered by their respective friends.

The fallowing notice was handed for insertion bv the Cashier of the Bank of Maryland, last night, when this pa per was about going to press: TO THE PUD LIC. U.YA" OF MJRYL.LYD, 21i March, 1831. The Board of Directors of this Institution have ascertained with surprise and deep regret, equal to any that the community will loci, tint this institution is unable to proceed with its business, and they have rcsohed to transfer all its fillets (o a Trustee, for the ctpnl benefit of the creditors ef the Bank. The Board of Directors hope and trust that the assets will be sufficient to -discharge tiic dc!:ts of the Institution, and their determination to stop its business at once is from a conviction that to continue it longer would only be atte tided with loss to tiic community. Their advice to (lie creditors, founded upon the best judgment they are now able to form, is, not to sacrifice their claims. The debtors of the Institution w ill have the privilege of paying their debts with the notes and certificates of deposite and the open accounts due by the Bank, these alone they hope will enable the note holders and depositors speedily to realize nearly all, if not the entire amount of their credits. By order, R. WILSON, Cashier. F IRE. I EN'S PA R A DE. The anniversary of the organization of the Fire Association of Philadelphia, was celebrated in that city, on Thursday, 27th ul:., by a general parade of tin: firemen with their beautiful and clliciet.t apparatus. About forty companies jnii.cd in the procession, which was formed in Arch street, the right on Proud, in the morning, and marched through all the piincip u! streets. Munv of the carriages were drawn by horses. the members following, fully equipped as firemen, aral carrying banners with appropriate inscriptions. A number of these baniiers were presented to the firemen by ladies residing in their vicinity, as a testimony of regard for their activity and efficient services. Some of the carriages were beautifully decorated with flags, &c, and the appearance of the whole parade was creditable in the highest degree lo the firemen and to the city of which they are the boast. Phe procession was under the command of Peter A. Keyser, Esq., chief marshal, and ten assistant marshals, chosen by delegates from the several companies. The trustees of the association rode iu barouches immodi.ttclv after the chief marshal, who was preceded by two or three trumpeters. The parade excited great attention, and the streets through which it passed w ere crow ded w ith admiring citizens. After the dismissal of the parade, in the afternoon, the flags, banners, &c. were ttken to the Washington Hull, where they were used in decorating the s-aloon, where a Fiie-men's Bull was given in the evening. It was at tended by the beauty and fashion of tile city, and passed off with great cclal. Atkinson's Post. On Thursd iy morning, two strangers called at the house of Mr. Thomas Kelly, about six miles from this village, and asked for breakfast, and for oats to feed their horses, all of w hich was readily furnished. The circumstances of them having no horses with them, and (heir conduct whilst at the house excited suspicion; and Mr. Kelly determined upon calling together a few of his neighbors to assist him in searching out their hiding place, to ascertain

their character. When they came upon them in the woods, they fled; and one of them escaped, and the other was overtaken by Mr. Kelly himself; he turned, and presented his pistol, refused to surrender, but Mr. Kelly presented his rifle, and threatning him with "a centre shot," he surrendered and was taken into custody. lie says his name, is Sherwood. It w as found that the horses w ere in a thicket, some (iitv or sixty rods from the place where the men were found; and the men had with them a valise, containing a large number of silver spoons, marked with the letter S., and also secral keys, bullet moulds, &c. When Sherwood was brought to this village, the SheriflTof Montgomery, Col. Stfb BEXS and some other gentlemen who happened to be here, were

able to identify the horses, as belonging to one of the canal boats, at Dayton, and the silver spoons, as the property of Mr. Stkvsx of Dayton. We learn from Duy!on, that the horses were stolen; and that Mr. Srnu.Vs h'tu-e whs robbed on W ednesday night. Sherwood was vestordav taken to Dayton to undergo an examination. S: pringjicld Pioneer. Tin: fmist s vw Mux. The old prac tice lor making boards was to split up tue logs with wedges: and, inconven ient as the practice was, it was no ea sy matter to persuade the world the thing could be done in any better way Saw-mills were first used in Europe in the 1 3th century; hut so lately as 1555, an English ambassador, having seen a saw mill m 1- ranee, thought it a novel (y which deserved a particular descrip tion. 1 1 is amusing to see how the aversion to luhor saving machinery agitated England. The first saw-mill was started by a Dutchman in 1G63; but the puhlio outcrv against the new (angled machine was so violent that the proprietor was forced to decamp with more expedition than ever did a iJi.tcnmin i-etore. ine evil was thus kept out of England for several vears. or ratner generations; nut in 17CS, an unlucky timber merchant, ho ping that after so long a time the public would be less watchful of its own interest, made a rash attempt to con struct another mil!. The guardians of the public welfare, however were cn the alert, ami a conscientious mob at once collected and pulled the mill to pieces, buch a patriotic spirit could not always last, and now, though we have no where seen the lact distinctly stated, there is reason to believe that saw mills are used in England. SAGACITY OF THE HORSE. We learn that several horses were on board the William Penn at the time of the conflagration. Among them w one noble animal, who, when the flames spread, appeared to be completely con scions not only of his danger, but that his only dependence w as on human aid Jie loiioweu iaot.

Jciliies. 1 fie latter at length noticed him, and leading him lo the railing ot the boat, said -'my noble fellow, you must leap this railing, or be lost. I o the surprise of the Can tain, the animal appeared to under stand him, and, leaping the rail, plun ged into the river, swum to the shore and escaped. Commercial Intel. Gunpowder. This article has produ ced a meat deal of pain, and put thou sands out of it. The Wheeling Times records a novel use of this deadly grain which is realy worth some attention An individual of that town, while des perate under the tooth ache, resolved on the summary method of blow ing uj ins relactory grinder. It was an im mense masticator having an excava tion equal in extent, to the cavity of a gun barrel. U ith the assistance of hi helpmate, he dried out the cavity; fill ed it with powder, pounded in a wad of cotton, and, with a red hot knitting needle, set liire to the mine, when a most tremendous explosion took place J he j -iw bone w as rent in twain, the offending tooth demolished, and with it three others, against which there was no cause of complaint. The poor man found himself prostrated on the floor minus four teeth, besides having his lace very much burnt. 1 hose disposee lo try the remedy, have the evidence of this case at least, that it will prove ellectual.

It is situated on Dock and Third Streets, extending to Walnut. rhe edifice is entirely built ot marble occupies ninety-five feet front on Third Street, and 150 on Walnut. The room on the lower floor intended lor the Post Office is 74 by 36 feet. In the upper story is the. exchange Room, cumins an area ot 53 J superticm feet, and extending across the whole )f the building. The roof is of copper, and a great deal of Italian architectual talent has been employed in beautifving this splendid building. It was built under the supcrintendan.ee of Mr. Stncland. FATAL OCCURRENCE. We learn from Charlestown, that a man by the name of J. L. Bowman was killed in that town on the night of Thursday the 13th inst The circumstances as detailed to us, appear to be these: During the day some difficulty occurred between a Mr. Swartz and Bowman, and Bowman shot at him. About midnight Bowman, w ith ethers went to Svvartz's house, with an inten tion of committing some outrage, lie noke down the door, and on entering the house was shot through the head and died immediately. Swartz re mains at home undisturbed. JVca- Albany Gazette. The locusts are coming O, HO! So says an aged gentleman, a valued friend of ours, residing in this place. On the 25th of May next, he says and being a close observer of events, we have not the slightest cause for doubt it will be exactly seventeen years since this numerous host of troublesome insects last made their appearance among us; and consequently on or about the same time in the ensuing May, we may expect another visit from them. W e would, therefore, advise our farm ed friends and others, to be prepared to give these unwelcome visiters a proper reception by which means much mischief may be averted. Germ. Tel. THE WEST. It is delightful, now and then, to s)eal away from the angry din of politics, end watch the gigantic strides of W estern improvement. A few days ago we saw announced, in an Indiana paper, tint a steam boat had just been launch ed at the mouth of the St. Joseph's river. What a pleasant train of re flections this little item awakens. It seems but as yesterday, that we saw the first emigrants wending their way to the " St. Joseph's." We do not remember when the first regular settlements were commenced there, but it certainly cannot be more than five years since. JNow there is a ubt. Jo seph a newspaper, published weekly. Stores, taverns, reading rooms, school houses, churches, all the concomitants of a thrifty and intelligent community, have sprung up, as if by magic, in the woods. The St. Joseph's emties into Lake Michigan nearly at the point where the northern line of Indiana forms an angel at the lake with the southern boundary of Michigan Terri tory. From the fact tint a steam boat has just been launched, it may be inferred that permanent and thriving commercial establishments have been already formed. The country has long been celebrated for the fertility of its soil, and its advantageous position for commercial purposes. Cincinnati Republican. A man calling himself Jacob Hammer, located himself some eight or twelve months ago, in Madison township, near Iliggins' Mill, and conducted a distillery, until a few weeks ago, when he decamped, leaving about three hundred dollars of his debts unpaid, and about twenty dollars worth of property to meet them; taking with him, it is believed, fully the amount of his debts. He was not unfortunate, but dishonest. It is understood that he played a similar game at his former place of residence; and that he may not again impose upon an unsuspecting community, he is thus treated. He is by birth, a German talks English well is of rather short stature, and thick set. He lived, formerly, in Frederick county, Maryland, where he left a family-, which fact he endeavored to conceal until a short lime previous to his decampment. lie is now published as a rogue, and if this notice should rcacli any neighborhood where he may settle, it may admonish the unsuspecting to be awaie of him, to keep their purses closed, and their draws under lock and key. N. B. A public benefit may be done, if other papers copy Ibis notice. Dayton, Ohio, April 2, 1834.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. A most distressing accident occurred in Winchendon (Mass.) Factory, on Monday, the 24lh ult. The following particulars we get from a hitter from that place, to a gentleman in this town: Amos Adams, a young man about 18 years of age, one of the card strippers, in attempting to unwind a belt which had got wound up round the main line of a shaft (a three inch shaft, which we are informed revolves more than a hundred times in a minute) in the card room, caught his lingers under the strap. His right arm vvj-s wound round and round the shaft, breaking it in four places, smashing the collar bone, and drawing the shoulder from its socket.

In the fright and consternation of the moment, most of the girls stopped the machinery, and thereby increased (he speed of the shaft. In this horrid sit uation he was carried rolled horn ally to one hundred times, with the shaft every revolution doubling his body, and threshing his legs against (he floor above, and then against the cards below, breaking one of his tides in two places, and knocking his feet to pummice. The case was beyond surgical skill, and no operation was performed, lie survived the accident seven hours. His head was uninjured, and he retained his mental faculties perfect to the last. lie bore his misery with the most astonishing fortitude, and related all the circumstances of the case with great coolness. lie seemed to lake a kind of satisfaction in looking at his mangled limbs, and every now and then his head at his own request was raised up for that purpose. Dunscabtc Telegraph. Life of the Hon. David Crockett. The Auto-biography of this distinguished son of the western wild, has at length appeared, ar.d having given it a careful perusal we feel prepared lo say that the public expectation in regard to its contents, will not be disappointed. It as an amusing work, entirely characteristic of the author, and relates, wiih strict fidelity to truth, the various scenes, adventures and vicisitudes in the life of this extraordinary man. His details, though given in homely language, and the sty le of one who sets at defiance all rules of orthography and granuner, are deeply interesting, and closely engage the attention of the reader. The Col. declares that a chief inducement for publishing this sketch of Iiis life, is lo correct the errors of a spurious work in reference to himself, published some months since. He has adopted for his motto these lines: " leave this rule for others xvhen Frn dead, lie ukvays sure your right THEN CO AHEVD." It is published by Messrs. Carey Hart, of Philadelphia. .'Ilkin-on's Post. Scientific. The Gazette Medicate of Paris publishes the results of an experiment, instituted for the purpose of ascertaining the effects of sound upon the auditory nerves of a pel son who was trepanned, and w hese eais weie closed in such a manner as (o preclude the possibility of his hearing through the ordinary avenues. It was proved tint the sound could be communicated by means of the cicatrice, in such a manner as to render audition easy, and keep up a colloquial intercourse with persons in the same room with the patient. We do not know that the experiment has been tried upon a subject naturally deaf; if it has, and has'likewise succeeded, the discovery will confer important benefits upon society, and restore the dumb and deaf every w here lo the enjoyment and use of their faculties. .Yew York Mercantile .'Idicrliser. New Orleans, March 15. A fire broke out last night in the buildings attached to the bakery of Mr. Chouny on Chartres St., supposed to have been the work of some incendiary negroes. The flames communicated lo the adjoining valuable brick buildings, and are now spreading with fearful rapidity. A keg of powder blew up and injured some persons. The printing office of the Bee was in imminent danger, and cannot escape without much damage. The loss to many individuals we cannot even conjecture. jlrgus. Ahoy about 1G years of age, who carried the mail between South B nd and Fort Wayne, cut open the mail bags on Saturday last near this town. He opened all the letters, l ut it does not appear that any of them had contained money, except one in which $1 had been enclosed for a printer in Pennsylvania. The bags and letters were discovered soon afterw ards and brought to (own. The carrier was immediately pursued, and was apprehended next morning; he is now in the goal at thv place.
