A great number of the respectable citizens
of Philadelphia held a meeting on the 18th
inst. and unanimously determined on giving
public dinner to Commodore STEWART, as a
testimonial of their satisfaction at his late ho-
norable acquittal. A committee of arrange
ment was appointed, who waited on the Com
modore and obtained his acceptance of the
invitation. Gen. Robert ID. Taylor, of Nor
folk, Va. and Joseph Hopkison, esq of PHI
ladelphia, were invited as guests.

We learn from the Baltimore American,
that on Monday last the Governor of Penn

low citizens of Philadelphia, proceeded in
steamboat down the Delaware, to view the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and the
Notifications below Newcastle. After sur
veying these works, the party sat down to

steam. boat, at which number of toasts were
drunk.

Such IS the rapid march OF the arts, the SCI
ences, and general prosperity of this happy
country, that all our columns would be insult
ficent to register the particularly important
incidents that occur BY the way. Not day
passes over that we do not hear of some mag
niicent work commenced; some new discove-
ry in philosophy; or some great improvement
in the arts In no instance, however, have
the enterprise and talents of our countrymen
been more conspicuous, than in the vast nm
provements in navigation and other facilities
of travelling. 1t has been but a few years
since many of our riycrs-now covered with
fleets of acknowledgement laboriously navi-
gated by none other than the Indian canoe,
the bstteau, or the rude ark that could descend
in a food, but never return. We are led to
these observations by an article, in the United
States Gazette, now before US. The writer
c:yes detailed account of a splendid sheet iron
Steam Boat, building at York, in Pennsylvania,
and intended as a packet boat between Co
hmbia and Northumberland, ON the Susque-
hanna.
This novel vessel has sirty tesi Keel, mme
fees Jean, and is only three feet deep. She
is composed entirely Of sheet iron, rivetted
with iron rivets; and the ribs, which are one
Ioot apart, arc strips Of si.eet iron; which by
their peculiar form, are supposed to possess
thrice the strength of the same weight Of iron
IN the square or fat form.
The weight Of iron, when she will have
been finished, is estimated at $500 lbs-that
of the rood in the decks, cabins, sc, at 200,
being together less than three tons; to which,
add two tons for the engine and boiler, and
the whole weight of the boat ready for opera
ton will be FIRE tons.
She will draw when launched, but fire inch-
es, and every additional ton which may be
put on board of her, will sink her one inch
more.
The boiler is so constructed, as that every
part of the receptacle for the fire is surround
ed by the water intended to be converted in.
to steam; and thus the iron is preserved from
injury by the excessive heat produced BY the
combustion ofthe coal. Its form is cylindrical
its length about six feet, and it viii be placed
upright in the boat, occupying with the whole
engine, not more than ten feet By siT feet,
1t is calculated that upwards OF ten thou
sand persons arrive at Columbia and Port De
post every spring, as the conductors OF RATS,
and about the same number descend the river
ever winter, all ofwhom return on foot to the
places of their residence. If but one third o
those persons take their passage in this boat
at the moderate price of two dollars each
there viii be very considerable return TO
the investments in this enterprise. Our hes
wishes await the proprietors.

"The present impoverished state of

great resources in the country, that

tants, were proper steps taken. There
is scarcely province without mines,
that could be worked to good account.
The lead mines of Adra are lucrative
TO the proprietors, and they are daily
opening new ones, and have ready
vent for all they produce. Similar ones
have lately been opened in the neigh
borhood of Malaga, which, it is believ-
ed, will be equally lucrative, add to
these there are mines OF iron, which
can be worked with great success, and
by having good stream of water
nearly on the spot, hoops and nails
might easily be made, and prove lu-

pediments in the way, (the want of ca

"The city Of Malaga, it appears, has
lately been threatened by a rise Of the

would have declared in favor Of

day it was to have taken place, other

would have been sacrificed.

nation, with much difficulty, can bring
about a reform in government, parti-

less than nine cold blooded murders
with his own hands, besides number
in which he was an acconpiice, and
still greater number Of robberies and

this monster has SO many friends, that
after having been three timea con-
demned, he has found means to appeal,
and lately did SO as soldier, TO a
court martial, who have now ordered
him TO be hanged and quartered. Much
fear is entertained of a connection, and

he is no more. The execution of nine

The National Intelligencer Of yesterday
says, that Lieut.. Wolbert of the Navy was
tried, last fall, by Court Martial at New-York
and sentenced to be cashiered. The sentence
was Suspended, however, until the termination
of the trial of Lieut.. Ramage, against whom
Lieut.. Wolbert was a principal witness and
the preferer of charges. But what seems
strange in the matter is, the offence of which
Wolbert WAS convicted, was preferring, will
fully, false charges against Ramagc. How
was it ascertained that the charges were will
fully false, nearly a year before Lieut. Ra-
mage was brought to trial

of the contemplat ed survey OF the Territory lately

survey should be made during the ensuing Fall,

would 3ilord them an opportunity OF disposng oil

with them to the westward; that they intended re-
moving beyond the Mississippi before another crop
was made, if the government would pay them the
money according the terms of the Treaty

somewhat strange, that the Chiefs who reside be-
