( New York, )the United States Bank
is preparing to pay of the National
Loan, which, like the march OF the army
of the grand Napoleon, makes grain
scarce. The United States Bank with
a great capital, and q great gosernmen,

ting individual, doing nothing on a
broad national basis, but calling in
money and curtailing discounts, as if a
run was in contemplation. When the
United ,tate'sBank closes its vaults, all

some young men were engaged in the
firing small cannon, il accidentally
went off and wounded three persons.
The man who was rsmming down the
charge was blown several feet, his hands
shockingly mangled, and bis right arm
broken. His clothes were set ON FIRE,
and his body severely burnt. His arms
have both been amputated, andy at the
last accounts, his case was considered
dangerous. Another man had both

siderable flesh torn from one Of his
hands. No fears are entertained for
bis safety, except from the lock jaw.
The other person was but slightly in

One hundred and ninety seven deaths
occurred in this city last week, which
is sixty more than ever happened in any
one week. Thirty three OF the number

siderable number from apoplexy, infia-

making nearly sixty sudden deaths.
Too much care cannot be observed by
persons in this oppressively hot weather
IN drinking cold water, aud against O.
verheating themselves.

We hare seen, in Rio Jsneirc pa.
per, an article, called fourth by the ar
rival at that port of LA SERNA, the late
Viceroy of Peru, with some ofthe Span
,sh Marshals, Generals, sc. after iheir
expulsion by BoLivAR from Peru which
appears to US worthy ofbeingpaTticular-
ly noted, as showing the sympathy felt
inBRA Il L though under Imperial 60
vernment, for the other governments o.
America, and Tor its distinct recogni-
ton Of the right of every nation TO go
vern itself as it shall think proper. The
following IS translation OF so much Of
the article in question as is oil general
interest--other articles, fully confirm
ing the sentiments OF the following,
might be copied, if Necessary from the
same souree!-.Nat. Int.
AT last, the strife between the hide
pendent sraniards in America and the
Royalists, reasol and justice having tfi-
umphed. Yes, BOLIVAR, the immortal
assertor of he independence OF Spanish
America, Las achieved the desired OBJ
ject of driving out of the Amercan ter
1tory the Fieeroy of Peru, ID. JoEs LA
SERNA, who arrived at this port on the
Cd instant, on board oil the French ves-
sci Emesiure, and with hiaa two Mar
shals of the army. three Brigadiers, one
Colonel, three Lieutenant Colonies, enc
Captain, one Inquisitor, Treasured,
and - servants.
"When La Serna shall arrive IN Eu.
rope, the Spanish Cabinet will learn
how erroneous has been Its pohcy, AND
will perceive the reason why, for long
time, it has been advised 10 recognize
the independence OF the colonies. IL
will discover how vain have been all ITS
attempts to maintain war OF caprice
against nations that have sworn to be
independent OF die. Spain has losti's
credit by enormous expenditures, which
it might have avoided by recognising,
in due time, tie independence OF her
former colonies. besides losing. proba-
bly,, the privileges in commerce which
she might, by different course, have
obtained. May this be warning to Por-
tugal, and terminated its obstinacy

report OF the battle that decided Amer
can independence; but, as soon as 1t is
obtained, it will be published for inior-

WiLMINeTos, IN CD June 6
Pride Of China family Of seven
negro children, from the age Of Is
months to IL years, the property Of
A-f. Joseph Eagles, were brought
to town very sick, from his plantation,
during the last week. The symp
toms soon induced the attendant ply.
stefan to look upon their case as the ef,
feet of some narcotic poison. Subse-
quent investigation leaves bot lt:le
room to doubt that they were poisoned,
by the use OF a strong decoction OF
the Pride of China root, administered
by an old woman on the plantation,
for the purpose Of expelling worms
Five out OF the seven have fallen q
sacrifice TO her i'll advised practice
the other two. though still in a low
condition, il is hoped win recover.
This melancholy occurrence shonId
operate as a caution to those who re
sort to this powerful article as means
OF destroying worms in children.
A pump for one Of The Mexican
Mining Companies. of one thousand
feet in length, has recently been cast
at furnace near Cincinnati The
bore is about four inches; and the
pump was cast in one hundred de.ach-
ed pieces, Of ten feet 10 length, each
This Aupendeus pump cost six cents
per pound, and each piece weighing
1000 pounds, the aggregate cost was
5000. 1t was taken to New Or
leans, by the steamboat Mississippi.
From New Orleans it was intended
10 ship it to some M, xican port,
whence itSis to be carried in wagons
about 800 miles into to the interior.
Finally, it will be borne thirty miles
