Accounts were received yesterday from •IVlaranham,
by way of Havre, dated the Bth of July. The Governor
still held the place for Portugal, in opposition to the
Emperor's Government at Rio Janeiro; but so feebly,
that it was supposed the first frigate which could be
spared for that destination would effect a change of po-
litical attachment. Trade was wholly at a stand.
A GREAT RAFT.-A few days since (says the New-
burgh Index), Mr. Daniel W. Wing, of Fort Edward,
Washington County, stopped at this village with his
raft, which measured 855 feet long, and 121 feet wide,
containing about 130,000 feet of square timber, besides
a quantity of boards, estimated to be worth from 25,000
to 30,000 dollars. At Albany, the enterprising owner
had sold a considerable quantity of timber, boards, and
shingles at Poughkeepsie, and other places on the river;
and was then on his way to New York, to dispose of the
remainder. The raft was navigated by ten men, and
had on board a house well furnished for their comfort,
and a barn, with a cow, horse, and carriage. TEis tim-
ber had all been cut to the east of Onion River, in the
State of Vermont, floated down the Champlain Canal,
and embodied at FortEdwatd into the mass above stated.

STEAM-PACKETS.—The first engine used with success
in America was on the Hudson, in 1807. The descrip-
tion of the astonishment excited by the appearance and
progressive motion of this " ignivomous monster" on
the water, is thus described by an intelligent wt her :
" She had the most terrific appearance from other ves-
sels which were navigating the river, when she was
making her passage. The first steam-boat, as others
yet do in America, used dry pine-wood for fuelt which
sends forth a column of ignited vapour many feet above
the fire; and, whenever the fireis stirred, a galaxy of
sparks flies off, which in the-night have a brilliant and
beautiful appearance. This uncommon tight first at-
tracted the crews of other vessels. Notwithstanding the
wind and tide were adverse to its approach, they saw,
with astonishment, that it was rapidly coming towards
them ; and when it approached so near as that the noise
of the machinery and paddles was heard, the crews in
some instances, shrank beneath their decks from the ter-
rific sight, and left their vessels to go on shore, while
others prostrated themselves and besought PROVIDENCE'
to protect them from the approaches of'the horrible
monster which was marching-on the waters,-and light-
ing its path by the fires which it vomited."
FUNERAL Or AN ODD- Fieccow.—Sunday afternoon
a crowd of persons assembled in Pine Apple-court,
and Castle-lane, Westminster, to witness the funeral
procession of Henry Davy, an Odd Fellow. About
four o'clock the avenues leading to the spot where the
corpse lay were blocked up with spectators, and consi-
derable curiosity was excited in the neighbourhood by
the novel appearance of those belonging to the St.
Luke's, St. Peter's, and St. James's, arriving, wearing
the?i- several orders, insignias of office, and carrying the
banners of the respective Lodges ; in the former the de-
ceased was a brother, six of whom supported the pall.
The procession. moved slowly through the principal
streets, towards St. John's Church, a band of music
playing at intervals sacred tunes with the drum muffled.
On the arrival of the corpse at St. John's New Burial
Ground, Horseferry-road, the coffin was lowered into
the grave, and the funeral service read, after which the
band stood forward and played the Evening Hymn ; on
its conclusion the earth was thrown in, and the remains
covered. A vast concourse of persons collected, and the
novelty of the sight was much noticed. The procession
returned in the same order, and soon after dispersed.
A Nucteartow.—A Nabob, in a severe fit of the 004
told his physician that he suffered the torments of the damned.--
" What, already I " exclaimed the Doctor.
FONTHILL Asszy.—We understand the next Number
of the New Monthly Magazine will present its readers
with a general view of the above singular place ; in-
cluding a walk through the various Apartments, the
Grounds, &c. and an estimate of the characteristic merits
and defects of this hitherto sealed and mysterious spot.
