The celebrated optician, Franenhofer, died here on the 7th of
this month, in the 39th year of his age ; hie funeral was cele-
brated to-day, and attended by a numerous suite of friends. The
services he rendered to astronomy by the improvement of the
English crown and flint glass, by which his telescopes acquired
such a degree of perfection, will preserve his name in the memory
of all friends of that service.

PAIJIIMIN, JUNI 4!

Yesterday evening, while the weather was quite fine and dry,
the inhabitants of part of this city were alarmed by the sudden
appearance of floods of water, which, like the wave.► of the
sea, poured against the east gates. The public walks' that
lay higher were immediately filled with crowds of people,
who were soon convinced by the horses and oxen swimming in the
torrent, the fragments of carriages and agricultural implements of
all kinds, and a human body, that some extraonlinary phenome-
non must have taken place, respecting which we expect , farther
information.

We received this morning. Dutch Papers to the 17th
instant. They contain some observations, under date
of Hamburgh, June 11, respecting the disturbances
in Batavia-and Java, which appear to have been of a
trifling description. By an aiticle. from St: Peters-
burgh, it appears that account( had been received phere
from General .YERMOLOFF, commanding in Georgia,
where his operatidrier spinet the rebellious tribes of the
Caucasus had prodttia the desired effect.

Acconnts have been 'received "te the !!td April, from Rio de
janeiro, the Estrtena arrived thtire on the lit April, Sir C.
STUART had also arrived at. Bin, in the rEarnond frigate, from
Rabin, on the sth. The meeting of the AnseMbly had been de-
ferred, in erinsequence of sufficient Membere not having arrived at
Pin de Janeiro. The papers contain alto the ratification of the
treaty between Brasil and Portugal. The hird llobart packet,
heund to Buenos Ayres, had arrived the 210 April, in 49 day.,

The hustle of the Election in Surrey has ceased most unex-
pectedly, by the resignation of Mr. H. &swim, who has been
advised by his very judicious friends to withdraw from a contest,
which, if successful, would hive left him little room for triumph.
Unhappily for this Gentleman, the freeholders of Surrey have
not forgot certain acts which the late Member ,would have
willingly passed over. His successful rival, Mr. P.A !Amyx, seems
to have engrossed the good will of all parties, and we hope that his
conduct in the Senate will nut disappoint their .expectations. If
it shotild,..hs cannot complain of not having bad a 'food lesson
before him. . .
