FATTENlNG CATTLE.

Dr. Mtcblll states, that he has made
experiments upon an excellent piece of
Ncei, forwarded by Peter Lorllard, Esq.
member OF he New York Agricultural
Society. Mr.. Lorilard's object was to
show that by a new and improved mode
nf feeding, cattle could be faitened in a
much shorter time, than in the common
way. The method is this take peck
Of shorts and half pint Of molasses, mix
the two ingredients, and divide them in
three messes per day, and the animal will
become fat, producing the tenderest and
finest beef. BY the use of molasses,
sheep and turkeys have also been fa,ted
in very short time; and not only so,
hut their flesh becomes exceedingly ten
der and fine Favored. These expert
ments may be easily made, and are re-
commended to the attention Of graziers
and agriculturalists.

By the following it appears that one
of our own most scientific citizens, has
discovered an
IMPROVED METHOD OF TANNING.
The Gazette OF last evening announ-
ces that DR.. II. II. HAYDEN of this city
has discovered a very important i'm
provement in the art of converting
raw hides into leather, by means of'a
pyroligneous preparation, the use Of
which he has secured by letters patent,
under the seal of the United States.
BY this method, raw hides, of any de-
scrption, after the usual process of
hairing and batting, are converted into
excellent leather in less than thirty si1
hours.

To sum them up as they are declared IN

The three most leading interests in

TO be those relating To commerce, abri-

POLITEC AL.
THE Presidency.

" Mr. Crawford, we undertake to say, is the
preference Of "a decidedly larger portion Of
the reading and rejecting part of the people
OF the United States than any other candi-
date" Nat. Intel
man who undertakes to make such an asser-
ton as this,c really have bat small respect
for the opinion of Others, or for himself. The
most reading part ofthe country is New En-
gland, containing moro than 100000 of in.
habitants-and where Mr.. Crawford's friends
DO not bear the proportion ofone to thirty. In
Kentucky, Ohio, and the upper Mississippi
States, he has no friends-iu New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, and Maryland, comparatively
very few-out of three southern states, which
support him, and where the great mass of the
people read little or none, he has in compare
son with the other candidates, but very
small number Of supporters, is the grossest
the most unwarranted assertion that ever was
made.
Again, says the Intelligencer-'' Mr.. Craw.
ford is moreover, the candidate who has been
unanimously nominated at a meeting regularly
convened, though not fully attended, of the re-
publican members of Congress, who have the
best possible opportunity of judging of the
qualifications and popularity of the several
candidates.
We had really supposed, that we should
from that quarter. We thought Gales and
Seaton were as sick Of it as some of their breth-
rem else where. 1t was SO silly, and SO idle a

FROM MARACAIBO.

The Curacao Courant of the 18th of
June, has published speech of Mr.
Southerland. the Consul of Great Brit
ain, at an entertainment given TO Gen.
Urnadetta, on his arrival at maracabo.
Mr.. Southerland's health having been
drank, he rose, and after congratulating
the company on the friendly relations
about TO he established between Great
Britain and the republic of Colombia,
remarked as follows:
81 have every reason to hope that
the first intelligence from Europe will
acquaint US Of the continental powers
having abandoned all intention of inter-
fering in the concerns of the free States
of South America, and of their having
relinquished all right, except what may
accrue to them, from friendly negotia-
tons. But, Sir, should those govern
ments still persist in project, which |
consider not less criminal than ridicu-
lous, have any thing but reason to
fear their success. That powerful and
undaunted navy, which their combined
fleets have been before taught to re-
spect, will, early in lis career, fnot TO-
tally destroy, at least lop off one limb
of their expedition. The President OF
the United States Of .4merica Gill claim,
another as his share, and doubt not YOU
will dispose of the manned carcase in
Colombia with a. due appreciation of
the object for which it may be sent a.

Gen. Urbannetta said that he had
lately seen his Britannia Majesty's COM
missloners at Bogota, who had assured
the Colombian government ofthe friend
ly disposition of England towards Co
lomhia, and that he looked forward with
great pleasure to the establishment OF
such relations, as would be mutually ad.

at London, is not yet arrived in Paris,
as we yesterday announced, but he is
expected every moment. His expected
arrival gives rise to many political con-

SPIRIT AND INDEPENDENCE.
A subscription for the celebration of
independence, having been opened at
the Book Stores, Gen. VAN Ness, one of
the Commute Of Arrangements, gave
orders that Coz. EDWARDS should not be
permitted to subscribe to the dinner.
This fact being published, the SscretarQ
Of State, Secretary Of War, and Post-yNcs-
ter General, directed letter TO the
Committee of Arrangements, in which.
after abiding 10 the above fact, thew
add -
sour attendance at the dinner, after
this notice, would justly be considered
as equivalent to an assent, on our part,
20 this exclusion.
1.-The character ard conduct of Mr..
Edwards being before the nation, upon
the report of a committee of the House
of Representatives yet to be acted upon
by the House, we should consider it in
compatible with our duties as public SER
wants, as well as with the principles of
common justice, 10 participate in an act
which we think would, in no event, be
unsuitable before a final decision anon
the Investigation. We request you, there
fore, t. consider this as notice that we
have withdrawn our subscriptions for
attendance at the dinner.n
eve are, very respectfully, gentle
men, your opedient servants.

LATEST FROM SPAIN,


Gibraltar papers to the 25th of May

TAvIRA, { PortogaD May IA.
His Majesty, highly displeased with
the Infante's conduct since the 3Oth of
April, came to the determination of
manifesting his sentiments; and, that
he might do it with less risk of COM
promising the public tranquillity,he on
the ninth inst. went on board British
ship of war in the Tagus, whittier he
was followed by the foreign Ambassa-
doris, and there issued a decree, by which
he took command of the army from the
Infante, and strictly enjoined the Au-
thorities to disregard his orders, or
any that might be given in his name. At
the same time ne caused proclama-
ton TO the Portuguese to be circulated,
in which he related his Sons arbitrary
proceedings and their origin, and point
ed out the result they might be attend
ed with. He also ordered the individ-
uals TO be set at liberty who had been
confined since the 3Oth of last month,
and lastly wrote letter to his son, de-
string him TO come on board. II. R. H.
Immediately obeyed the summons, and

who has put an end to this tragedy.

paper of May 22d, is as follows.

PRESENCE OF MIND

An extraordinary instance of presence
of mind occurred lately at village in
the department of the Gard A farm
er, whilst seeking some sheep which
were missing, was attacked by a wolf.
which seized his mantle. The farmer
Immediately twisted it round the ami
mails head and held him to the ground.
Being unable TO strangle the wolf, and
no one being near, he remained in this
dangerous situation nearly an hour. Find
ing the struggles of the animal become
gradually less vigorous, he endeavored
unsuccesstully to break his legs. AT
length he kneeIed upon his throat and
tied his legs with his handkerchief He
next took large stone and knocked out
the animals brains. At some distance
were three children keeping sheep, who
would infallibly have fallen victims to
the VOLTS voracity.-Par;s Paper.
