in this town from the MeditcTr mean,
which state that several sail of Issels,
bouad from Leghorn to Alexandra, la.

the Pacha ofEgypt, had been caaured.

large quantity of dollars.

There has arrived at Hydra a Dutch

From the Essex Register


We have before published short
account from London paper, respect
ing the wonderful incombuslibility Of a
man, M. Chabert, who has recently ex-
hibited himself 10 the British metropolis.
The Londoners are evidently astonish-
ed at the feats Of NJ. Chabert, and puzzled
TO account for his apparent faculty of
enduring the most intense heat without
ipiury-but the following extrgrt, from
an old German publication, will throw
some light upon this heat.
/" Berlin, Feb. 1919. The expert
ments made on the pretended incombus-
tibilhy Of the human body, by Mr.. Ber-
nard Hey, have been attended with
great success. The means employed
for the purpose he reduces TO six, viz.
1. A liquor composed of half
pound Of alum, four ounces of vitrioIic
acid, and two pounds of water, with
which the hair, the arms, thighs and
feet, must be impregnated during sever
al Gays, and which will enable them
10 support red hot fire.
2. He takes mass resembling lead,
tnelts il, pours il into u kettle, and

A melancholy occurrence took place
this week, on the fork of Fishing Creek,
Mr.. Pagan observing that lavorite dog
of his had something ailing it, confined
it in barrel, TO prevent accidents !;
but in a day or two il found means TO
escape, and bit the whole of Mr.. P's.
'amly, consisting of seven, himself in-
cluded. Mrs. P. already shews symp.
toms of hydrophopia. Three Of Mr..
Abraham GilI's children were also BIZ
by the same dog, before it could be Sc

.4mazing Strength and PO,psr Of the
S5cord Fish.
On heaving out the ship Thames, now re-
pairing IN tins port, part of the sword
of fish was found in her keel. We have
been particular in gaining all the informa-
ton we could Of this fact.
1t appears that the fish struck his
sword between the main and the false
keel, forcing the one from the other,
upwards CT two inches, although secur-
ed together by 7-8 inch copper bolts,
and not over eighteen inches apart, the
heads of which were drawn into the
false keel, which was of sound oak, 10
by a inches, which was completely
broken in two; the sword left an orifce
of nearly inches diameter, was much
slivered 10 passing through, and the ex-
IRENE part broken off and lost. We
have measured four pieces of this sword,
which belonged together, and which
were partly projecting out-.he length
Of each was ii inches, and the circum-
ference, taken together, was 81 inches,
Some siyers being LOST and weighed
SO ounces. The length of this sword
cannot be ascertaiued, but it must have
been of considerable length, as the orr.
fee was about the same on each side Of
the keel.
The velocity of a ball from heavy
six FOUNDER may be set down at ,673
feet per second, which is at the rate OF
about I lao miles per hour: and yet this
velocity would moi be sufficient, alto
gether with the obduracy of the mist,
to penetrate through the place.

A London ..4lderm0m.- William
Curtis has been for many years an alder
man of London, and for some time was
a representative of that city in Parlia-

be man of shallow mind, grossly igno-
rant, and illiterate. Among the absur-
dities attributed TO him lie, of his giving
the following toasts at public dinners:

speedy peace, and soon.' The three

We have no doubt but the consump-

having them initiated, but we think the
experiment will prove truitless, and the
result will be the same as at Buenos

tiers begin TO be seriously alarmed at the
continued distress which prevails in the
manufacturing districts, representations
of which now reach them from quarters
so respectable, that the nature and ex-

SYRIA, JUNE 5.

lbrahim trayerses, in couquering
march: the whole of Peloponnesus, with
out finding any where the least resis-
lance. After having divided his army
into three columns, he directed one up
on Magapelea, a convent fortified by
art and nature, in which is deposited the
wealth of the principal families in the
Morea. The Arabians made themselves
master of it, having taken a great nun
Der of prisoners. The Greeks fly on
all hands. Those of the province of
Tacoma could only fad safety in escap-
ing on board the Spezziot ships.
TAccounts from Corfu, to June 25, do
not confirm the above intelligence On
the other hand, il is sa't at that date
that Colocotroni was on the point Of re-
connoitering the whole OF the Morea, and
that he had already entered into an ar
rangement with lbrahim, who was in a
very critical situation.
The accounts from Constanlinople
are stilI-of doubtful character. The
city presented scene of devastation :;
all the palaces of the granAees have
been pillaged. The Sultan was encamp-
ed, pnder the protection of the banner
Of the Prophet, surrounded by his par
tizaDs. The firm conduct of The Sultan
has induced many of his former oppo-
nents TO make common cause with him;
but ii is still admitted, even by those
most anxioua Cor his success, that no
certain opinion can as yet be formed,
concerning the ultimate result Of the
bold measures he has taken.

He can with confidence the public, that he has
accomplished it. The plan projected is by means OF
strong and we'll tempered steel springs SO constructed
as to support the saddle seat and give much greater
to both rider and horse than saddles made IN the
common way or any other that he has can
siby do The plan is entirely different from the En-
gsh elastic saddles with spring bars of Steel whale
bone &c. and also from those with wire springs; and
he conceives much superior to either as the elasticity
greater and the tree not beng put out OF us
form, will not be subject to hurting horses on journeys
