Saturday Morning, July 9,1853.
FOURTH OF JULY.
The anniversary of American Independence was becomingly celebrated in this city on Monday last. By arrangement of committee appointed for the purpose—an Orator, Reader,»Chaplain &.c. had all been selected. At tea o'clock crowds brgan to wend their way to the Court House, which was filled to qverflovring by the hour designated. Ths performance was altogether very appropriate. Prayer by the Rev. A. Wood—vocal music suitable to the occasion. The Declaration of Indepeneence was handsomely read by B. E. Basset Esq. The oration of Dr. Stevenson WQS of superior order, and listened to with profound attention by his audience.— We have rarely known a fourth of July to pass off more agreeably—and with less of that which sometimes contributes to mar the occasion. The day was a remarkably fine one* clear and pleasant—and every body seemed to be in the spirit of patriotism and good feeling. If there was less show and external parade than is sometimes observed on such occasions, we think there was much of the appreciation and enjoyment of the old 76 principle—enough to sanctify the day and show that all is still right.
MAILS DERANGED.—Why is it there is so much delay in the receipt of papers for the last five or six weeks? There must be something horribly out of joint with the new officers either at Cincinnati, Madison or Indianapolis. For instance, our daily exchanges from Cincinnati do not reach this place until the evening of the <third> day after their issue. Under the old Administration they were invariably received on the evening of the second day. That was bad enough in all conscience—but <three days> is insufferable—not to be endured. Who wants to see a daily after three days? It is antiquarian. The Louisville papers are also much behind time, but not so bad as some others. Will the Hon. W. J. BROWN of Indianapolis, who is now announced as Special Agent of the Post Office Department, attend immcdiately to this matter? 1 Do not permit the reputation of Gen. Pierce to suffer in this matter, Mr. Brown! ~~~~~~~
RAILROAD ARRANGENENT.-—By reference to advertisement it will be seen that on and after monday next, double trains of passenger cars are to be placed on the railroad between Terre Haute and Indianapolis— Leaveing [sic] Indianapolis and Terre Haute in the morning and also at noon. Trains running through both ways twice a day. By this arrangement passengers leave- ing Terre Haute after dinner, may leave Indianapolis next morning, and arrive at Cleveland same evening. ~~~~~~~
Celebration ntCloverlnnd
We loarn that the 4th. of July was appropriately celebrateJ near Cloverlnnd on the National Road. Two thousand Citizens were said to be assembled on the occasion. The oration delivered by M. S. DURHAM, Esq. Is highly spoken of by those who heard it. There was good eating with toasts, music &c.
FIRE—On Sunday last near twelve o'clock our citizens were alarmed by the cry of fire, occasioned by the issue of smoke and flames from the kitchen department of the Brown House. This room is of most cumbustible material—and if the fire had got head way, nothing we think could have saved the destruction of the Hotel building. Fortunately, however, the timely assistance of persons on and near the spot with a good supply of water proved efficient iu promptly checking the flames.
This alarm of fire took place during service at the different churches, and caused some of those buildings to be speedily emptied. ~~~~~~~~
EXAMINATION OF RESERVOIRS.—A commission of five physicians appointed by the Governor is now attending to the duty of examining the Reservoirs erected for the Wabash & Erie Canal in Clay and Gibson counties. The object of the commission is to ascertain whether said reservoirs are injurious to the health of the surrounding country—of which a report is to be made to the Governor by the first day of January next.
The commission consists of Dr. Gall, of Indianapolis; Dr. Cook, of Newport; Dr. Ford, of Brownstown; Dr. Smith, of Rushville, and Dr. Grimes, of Delphi. ~~~~~~~
We had tho pleasure two days ago of a call from our old freind J. B. L. Soule, Esq. now of the Charleston Courier. Mr. Soule looks remarkably well, fresh and ruddy,with a placid countenaee which indicates a conscience perfect! at ease, through all the various puzzles and mates of editorialism (excuse the word.) We at way a open the Charleston ^Courier with plersure, and never fail to find touches of wit, sense and goo^ writing in its editorial column.

PoruumoH or THE PSIBCIFAL CITIES IH EUBOPX AXD NOBTH AMERICA.—The Boston Transcript compiles from Weber's VoOa Kalender, (Peoples Almanac,) for 1853, published annoally at Leipsic, the following table of the population of the largest cities in Europe and North America. As the Germans are proverbially accurate in their statistical statements, says The Transcript, it is to be presumed that this table may be relied upon as correct. It will be seen that New York stands fourth on the list, Philadelphia ninth, Baltimore twenty-first, and Boston twenty-eigth. As a matter of curi(hrity *nd reference, the table may be worth cutting out and preserving:

We may remark that there are several cities in India, China, and Japan, which are reported to contain a larger population than that of Paris, but not being in Europe or North America, they are, of course exelu ded from the above list, in which also is omitted the city of Mexico, (which should not have been omitted,) containing a population of about 200,000.

A Managerie—an interesting Museum of curiosities—a Parterre of Wax Work, in which many prominent men and women of ancient and modern times, are pourtrayed with life—like fidelity. The veritable Gen Tom Thumb himself, alone, one ot the most popular shows of the age, the favorite and admiration alike of monarchs and of millions. Nellis the no armed phenomenon, Pierce the lion tamer, and a drove of elephants, including the only baby of the species ever brought to this country—can all be seen for the unprecedented low charge of thirty cents.

ANCHOR MILLS.—We ask attention to Mr. Thompsons advertisement in another column of his New Anchor Mills and Flooring Factory. This large Brick building is situated on the corner of first and popular streets, opposite Wallaces Foundry. The Steam Flouring Mill, may be called a complete establishment. The machinery is all new and works handsomely. There are four setts of burs—with elevators and serenes and cleaning fans Sic.,six Reels, 21 feet in length. The Packing of this Mill is equal to 225 brls. in 24 hours if necessary.— The Mill is in fine operation with about 9000 bushels of wheat on hand at this time.
The Flooring Factory is no less a matter of interest, from the fact of its capability to dress any quantity of Flooring and ceiling at the shortest notice.
We havo lately recieved several favors from the HON. JOHN DAVIS, for which he will accept our acknowledgements, particulary for the last, the Abstract of the Seventh Census, which is realy a book of value and interest..,

Classifying clerks in the General Post Office in such a manner that they will stay classified proves to be no easy matter, and it is now doubted whether the job will be completed under several weeks.
The Unfon of this morning has an article reading the New York Evening Post and Buffalo Republic out of the democratic party, and stating that its recent article on Cuba was not issued by authority.
Terrible Storm in "New York. NEW YORK, July 2.—- WE had a frightful storm here last evening accompanied by terrific thunder and lightning. Many buildings were struck by lightning, and unrooted and demolished.— The Crystal Palace was flooded with water, and some of the glass broken. The new frame building near the Palace was blown down killing three workmen engaged upon it, and injuring badly seven others.
The storm was very severe at Williamsburg.—The steeple of Dr. Mc. Lane's church, Presbyterian was blown, down, carrying with part of the roof, and greatly damaging the dwelling of Mr. Johnson, adjoining. The steeple of Mr. Porter's Dutch Reformed church was also torn off, and fell across an adjoining dwelling. Many other buildings were damaged, and the loss of property is heavy.

CITY NEWSPAPERS.
It is probably a matter of surprise to some honest minded people that so many items of false news, and so many unfounded reports of exciting events reach us, from time to time, from the eastern cities. The thing is easily explained. Nine tenths of the readding people in those cities, a large per centage of whom are "fast men" and loafers, demand a constant excitement to keep their spirits and conversation up to par. The papers, depending for support chiefly on the amount of their daily sales, by peddling news-boys, are forced by competition to meet this demand, or fail. Hence, all points of the compass are ransacked for incidents of startling news, and what the wind does not blow up, has to be manufactured.— Therefore all sorts of devices and stratagems are resorted to, in order to keep up the requisite steam and when there is no astounding event in Europe to record, no 'speck of war,' no murder or elopement case at home to work up into an effecting tragedy; no foreign humbug, in the shape of a travelling lecturer or dancing harlequin, to bespatter with praise; police reports, editors' quarrels, and dog fights are caught up to satisfy the morbid cravings of the greedy rabble, and thus the milkey brains of ten thousand city fops are kept in a constant froth of fermentation, at two cents apiece. But the profits must not end here. These seven day wonders, which wither and are forgotten as soon as they meet the pure air, are carfully gathered up, and by the aid of steam presses are sent off weekly in the shape of a "mammoth sheet" and scattered, like leaves of the forest, in all parts of the country, at one dollar a year. How cheap! Be sure to subscribe for the cheap mammoth sheet, containing so much startling news that never happened, and so many important surmises, that never came to pass!—<Charleston Courier>. ~~~~~~~
A NEW CAR VENTILATOR.—We find the following description in one of the daily papers of a method of car ventilation lately introduced on the Buffalo and New York Railroad, invented by Dr. Foot, of Buffalo.
"In the centre of the car there is a box about four feet high, by two feet and two and a half in its dimentions [sic]. In this revolves a fan wheel, on the circumference of which are teeth about half an inch long. This wheel moves in water to the depth of the teeth, and of course keeps a thick spray in the box when the car is in motion. The wheel is driven by a belt which connects with the car axle. The air is sucked into the box at each side by the motion of the fan, which forces it through the spray into a conductor, which connects in several places with the car by means
ventilators, but in its passage through
the spray it loses its dust and comes up
dust and cornea up
pure. The car windows are to be shut in very dusty weather, and the air for breathing, pure and cool, passed through water, is to be thus furnished. The press of air made by the fan is so great that it will hold a hat suspended over one of the holes out of the top of the car. The experiment was successful to such a degree that it ought to be examined by competent judges. ~~~~~~~

A marriage took place on the night of the 25th ult., at the Nevada Hotel, a lady not unknown to the California public to a gentleman from Kentucky, now a citisen of this state, he being the fifth upon whom she had conferred Hymenial honors, and the third whose heads are yet above the sod. By a strange concatenation of circumstances her two last husbands, between whom and herself all martial duties had ceased to exist by the operation of the divorce law, had put up at the Nevada House on the same evening, ignorant of the fact their former cara sposa had rested under the same roof with them selves, and also that tljey had both in former years, been weded to the same lady. Next morning they occupied seats at the breakfast table opposite the bridal party. Their eyes met with mute, but expressive astonishment. The lady-bride did not faint, but bravely in formed ber newly acquired lord of her singular situation, and who their guests were.— Influenced by the nobleness of his nature and the bappy impulsed of his heart, he sum mer.ed his predecessors to his bridal chamber, and the warmest greetings and congratulations were exchanged between the four in the most unreserved and friendly manner The two ex-lortls frankly declared that they ever found in the lady an excellent and faithful companion, and that they were the au thors of the difficulties which produced their seperstion, the cause being tracable to a too free indulgence in the use of intoxicatinj drinks. The legal lord and master declare that his affection for his bride was increased, if possible by what had occnrred. After a few presents from their well filled purses the parties seperated—the two ex-husbands for the Atlantic States, with the kindest regards of the lady for the future welfare of her former husbands.
Not the least singular circumstance at tending the above, is that the three were all married on the 15th of Dec.
Fugitive Slaves In Can ad n." A preliminary meeting of gentlemen in terested in the welfare of the fugitive slaves in Canada was held on Tuesday afternoon, the 7th, inst., at Rndley's Hotel, Bridge-st, Blackfriars, the Earl of Shaftsbury presiding. Rev. S. R. Ward, Delegate from the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, made a very interesting statement of the condition of the fugitive slaves wholiave escaped to Canada. The number escaping every year WHS not less than 3,000, and is constantly increasing. The majority arrive at various points on a frontier of 700 miles, almost destitute of clothing and of the necessaries of life. The Anti-Slavery Society of Canada affords them temporary relief, until they procure work, which they usually do within a week, there being no case on record in which, except in the case of sickness, relief had to be extended beyond a period of six days after their arrival. In consequence, however, of the heavy claims of this nature upon the limited means of the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, the Committee had delegated Mr. Ward to come to England to raise a fund, the interests of which might be devoted to this special purpose. The Earl of Shaftsbury expressed his sympathy with the object of Mr. Ward's mission, and a commission was appointed under his Lordship to promote it. It was determined to hold a public meeting at the Freemason's Tavern, at an early day, to afford Mr. Ward an opportunity of making a public statement as to the condition of the fugitive slave in Canada. The Earl of Shaftsbur} having consented to preside on the occasion, a sub-committee was oppointed to make the necessary arrangements.—N. Y. Tribune,
~~~~~~~ BREAKING UP OF AN ICEBURGE [sic].—When the immense Iceberge [sic] commences to tumble to peices [sic] and change its position in the water, the sight is realy [sic] grand— prehaps [sic] one that vie with an earthquake. —Masses inconceivably great four times the sixe [sic] of St. Paul's Cathedral or Westminister Abbey are submerged in the still blue water to appear again at the surface, rolling and heaving gigantically in the swelling waves. Volumes of spray raise like clouds of white vapor into the air all around and shut out the beholder from a scene too sacred for eyes not immortal. The sound that is emitted is not second to terrific peals of thunder, or the discharge of whole parks of artilery. The sea smooth and tranquil, is aroused and oscillations travel ten or twelve miles in evry [sic] direction and if ice should cover its surface in one entire sheet, it becomes broken up into detatched pieces, in the same manner as if the swell of an extensive sea or ocean had reached it and before a quiescent state is assumed probably two or three large icebergs occupy its place, the top of some of which may be at an elevation of upwards of two hundred feet, having in the course of the revolution turned up the blue mud from the bottom at a depth of two or three hundred fathoms. ~~~~~~~
ANTIQUITRS.—Ninevah was fifteen miles by nine, and forty round, with walls one hundred feet high* and thick enough for three chariots abrest. Babylon was sixty miles within the walls' which were seventy-five feet 'thick and three hundred feet high, with one hundred brazen gntes. The temple of Diana was four hundred feet high,and was two hundred years in building. The largest of the pyramids is four hundred and eight feet high, and six hundred and sixty three feet on one side its base covers eleven acres. The stones are about thirty feet in length, and three lay ers are two hundred and eight. Three hundred and sixty thousand men were employed in its erection: The labyrinth of Egypt contains three thousand chambers and twelve halls. Thebes, in Egypt, presents ruins twenty-seven miles round. It had one hundred gates. Carthage was twenty -five miles round, and so was Athens.
RAILROADSPEED.—A locomotive dispatched from Laporte, Indiana, to Chicago, for physicians to attend Robert B. Doxtader. Esq., President of the Road, who died at that place, ran the entire distance and back in one hour and forty minutes. The distance is 58 miles each way, making a speed of 116 miles in 100 minutes. This is fully up, if not superior to the speed daily attained on the English Great Western Railroad, between Paddington and London. ~~~~~~~

Read the following opinion founded on the long experience of the eminent Physician of the Port and City of Dr J. Ayer,— ST. JOHNS, May, 8, 1851.
Five years trial of your CHERRY PECTOR AL in my practice, has proven what I foresaw from its composition, must be true, that it eradicates and cures the colds and coughs to which we, in this section, are peculiarly liable.
I think iu equal has not yet been discovered, nor do I know bow a better re edy can Be made for the distempers of the Throat and Lungs.

SUDBURY, Jan. 24th, 1851.
Dr. Ayer: In the month of July last I was at tacked by a violent diarrhma in the mines in Cslifornia. I returned to San Francisco in hope of receiving benefit from a change of climate and diet. My diarrhoea ceased, but was followed by a severe cough—and much soreness. I finally started for home, but received no benefit from the voyage. My cough continued to grow worse, and when I arrived in New York, I was at once marked by my acquaintances as a victim of consumption. I must confess that I saw no sufficient reason to doubt what my friends all believed. At this time I commenced taking yourtruly invalua ble medicine with little expectation of deriving any benefit from its u.-e. You would not receive these lines did I not regard it my duty to state the afflicted, through you, that my health,in thespaoe of eight months, is fully restored. I attribute it to the use of your CHERR I PECTORAL•

A cough and the alarming symptoms cf Consumption had reduced me too low to leave me anything like hope, when mvphysicisn brought me a bottle of your "PECTORAL." it seemed to fiord immediate relief and now in a few weeks time has restored me to sound health. Ifit will do lor others what it has done for me, you are certainly one of the benefactors of mankind.
