From the Boston Daily Advertiser Of Aug. 81.
Colonel CHARLES DE BENEsKI, Oh
Thursday last, waled on the President,
at Quincy, with dispatches from cur
commercial agent al Guatemala, au-
thenticaling The intelligence Of the exc.
cution of contract, on the 18th June
last, between the Federal Republic Of
Central America, and certain Compa-
ny, formed in New-Y York, for the pur-
pose of effecting . navigabIe communi-
cation between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, through Nicaragua, one Of the
States of Central America. The con-
templated route is by the river ST. John
into the lake of Nicaragua, whence,
from its western extremity, canal will
be cut for about seventeen miles TO the
Pacific. The Government of Central
America called for proposals for such
an undertaking, about year since, and
several companies have been formed, ii
is said, in Europe for the purpose, and
have presented their claims. The COM
pany with whom the contract is now
made, are to have the right OF toll, and
certain exclusive privileges which the
persons interested think OF great value.
1t is supposed that the undertaking will
receive coun,enance from the Govern.
ment Of the United States. The per.
sons now composing the company in
New-York, propose to extend it through
all parts Of the Union, making it as
much as possible national concern,
and will apply to Congress, it is said,
for incorporation, by the name of "The
Central American and United States At
lantic and Pacific Junction Canal Com.
pany," with capital Of 100000. The
undertakers are very sanguine as to the
practicabili,y Of the scheme, aud the
profit OF the speculation, as well as the
national and commercial advantages to
be derived from its execution. We
understand they mean shortly to solicit
the cooperation of our Capitalists, and
exhibit detailed exposition Of their
views,

ANTIQUITIES.

In excavaling the grounds in this city
last week, some articles were found well
calculated TO excite curiosity and spe-
culation.
The principal scite of The city is upon
what is usually called a second bank.
1t is composed principally of sand and
gravel, and rises from thirty TO forty
feet above the first bank OF the river
About twenty-three feet beneath the
upper surface an iron shoe, like horse
shoe, was found imbedded in gravel.
Its size and shape corresponds with that
of the foot OF a Jack.-It is neatly made,
In the present fashion OF making horse
shoes, has slight heel points, and had
three nails OF side, four of which now
remain in 1t, and are clenched in such
manner as to indicate that il was not cast
from the foot, in use, but more probably
remained on the animal at its death.
The incrustation OF rust is not very
thick. and considering the place where
II was found, might be such as to pre-
vent any further corroding. 1t is depo-
sited in Lotions museum, in this city
where the curious can see it.
Very near the same place, and at
about the same depth, there was found,
on the next day, tooth weighing abou,
FIVE pounds, OF black color, and sup.
posed to be the grinder of an elephant.
These articles were found at no great
distance from Judge Burnet's, where, in
digging a well some years since, a
stump, with marks oil the Gu. of an axe,
was found at near the same level An
ancient fertilization, enclosed the sur
face OF the ground where they were
found, the remains Of which, were very
distinct a, the first settlement of the ci.
~.
There are also in Lotions Museum
some brass and pewter buttons, of an
uncommon construction, found recently,
on the Ohio River, near the mouth OF
the Little Miami. The button is about
an inch in diameter, and the shank is a
thin plate, half an inch in length, with a
round hole of the size OF turkey shot
through it, near ,he end. We under
stand they resemble buttons used in
Russia and other northern countries for
coats made of skin or leather. II is
supposed they must have been lost by
some of the earliest navlgators of the
Ohio, when the French were attempting
communication between Canada ano
the Mississippi.

americans in Greece.-Evans' last
view Of Greece con,sins some notices OF
the prominent Grecian and American
characters who are engaged in the cause
of Greece. The Americans are Howe,
Jarvis, Miller, Washington, and Allen.
Howe is a Bostonian, "of small stature,
but of middling height" and possesses
talents and resolution. He is useiully
employed in Greece, and Mr.. Evans
presumes he will meet with much sue
cess.-His principal objects in going to
Greece were the restoration Of his health
and the improvement of his knowledge
Of surgery. Jarvis is q native of this
country, but had been resident in Ger
many. He is Of common stature, and
about thirty years Of agc-rather ordina-
ny in his personal appearances man Of
much native shrew dness, and in his ha.
bits truly Greek. He has been in
Greece about FIVE years, and has given
proofs Of his courage. Washington is
a Virginian, and about twenty-five years
OF age-a tall and elegant man, and pos
sesses brilliant talents. Evans says,

CONGRESSIONAL MATTER.
From the National Journal.

Monday, Fec. l2.-In the Senate, the bill
to extend the limits Of Georgetown, and the
bill for the relief Of Eliza Buckley were pass
ed.
The bill making an appropriation of S15,-
900 for the repair of the road through the
Indian country, between Jackson and Co
lumbus, in the State of Mississippi, was the
subject of considerable d cusson. 1t was
opposed upon the ground that Congress had
no power to make road within the limits
of state and that when the State of Mis-
sissippi was admitted into the Union, the
jurisdiction which, previously, the Indians &C.
ded to the United States over this road, pass
ed to the state, and was vested in it. 1t was
supported on the ground, that the road run
through an Indian country, the title to which
has never been extingushed, and that there
fore, the state had no power to make it; that
like applications had received the favor of
Congress, and that no constitutional princi-
Piles were connected with the bill. 1t was
ordered to third reading.
In the House of Representatives, the bill
for the relief of Penelope Denny was passed.
A little discussion took place on the consd-
Grafton of the resolution offered some time
since by Mr., Miner, calling for information
on the subject of the revenues, &c. from the
ports in the Delaware, with reference TO
the construction of the proposed break wa
ter, and the resolution was ultimately reject
ed. The House went into committee on the
bill making appropriation for the navy, but
made little progress therein, when the com
mittee rose. On motion, it was referred to
the Committee on the District of Columbia,
to inquire as to the cxpediency of deepening
the channel leading into ryber Greek; and
on motion OF Mr.. Alexander, Of Virginia,
relative to amending the charter of Alexan-
dria; on motion of Mr.. Everett, of Massa-
chusetts, on the subject of revising the law
regulating the importation of foreign books;
on motion of Mr.. Wood, of New-York, rel
atve to placing disabled and wounded Off
GERS on the list of invalid pensioners; and

gers, and rolling the points on revolving
stone. The needle is then placed on die,
exactly in the centre, and one blow makes
two eyes, and at the same time cuts the wire
nearly in two between the eyes. This was
done with so much repidity, that l asked
how many times the die fell to make the
eyes, not perceiving that the boy took up
new one at every blow. The needles are
then parted, and you have two in an unfn-
ished state. Tempering is the next process.
The needle while heated red hot, is thown
into cold water, and afterwards is brought
to spring temper by being rolled in plates
Of hot iron. Each needle is then filed at the
eye, and last ofall, receives the polish in the
same way as it is pointed only ON finer
stone. In the last room visited were, IS
or 20 girls from 10 to IA years of age, busy
in counting them out and putting them into
papers, and labelling. The principal part
of the work is done by boys, who from their
appearance must be poorly paid.

A dreadful accident happened on the Goth
December, at the Augustiniin Friary Cha
pei in Callan, Ireland. The building was
crowded to suIlocation, when cry arose,
perfectly unfoundcd, that the gallery was
falling. A frantic rush tothe only door COM
mon to the floor and gallery took place. Wo-
men and children were instantly crushed to
death, or suii,ocsted just outside the door
when they fell. Immediately a pile, five
feet deep. of the dead, dying and sufFocated,
accumulated at the door. At this time ano-
ther cry that the kitchen under the Chapel
was on fire, added to the terrors Of the scene.
Fourteen persons were killed and one hun
drcd suffered from contusions and broken
limbs.

On earth, my mothers breast.
There's peace and welcome in yon sea,

These clouds are living things

Their soft and aeecy wings.

Where neither passion. come, nor woes.
