Quebec. Feb GIVE had very heavy fall OF
rain on Saturday night, and The evening OF that
day was as warm as it generally is late in the
spring Early on Saturday morning,the wind
which had been at northeast changed to west
and blew with extraordinary violence The
roofs Of number Of houses and barns in the
city and its vicinity were partly blown off, trees
were Frustrated, and several large barns were
levelled with the ground: among the latter, we
understand, are those on the property OF the
Hon. Mr.. Irvine at St. Foy. The snow, which
on level is not quite three feet, is consldera-
bly, diminished; and in the high open country
patches of ground are seen. We may, indeed
from the mildness of the winter on this CONT
nent, soon expect such weather and an early
spring.

facts as stated may be relied on.

of robust constitution, and apparently in per-

Every State, save only Tennessee, in which
the popularity of General Jackson has beer
tested, has wholly disappointed his friends
In New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, Ken.uckv
Louisiana, and Missouri, he has been weighed
in the balance and found wanting The recen,
election Of Judge Smith TO the U. 6. Senate
from South Carolina in opposition to Col Hu''
ger, can be considered in no other light than
complete overthrow Of the friends of Cener,I
Jackson, aided, TO the utmost, by the friends Of
Mr.. Calhoun. few months ago when we auc.
gested that the name Of General Jackson. as
candidate for the Presidency would be with.
drawn, the idea was ridiculed by thousands
who. whatever may be their enmity TO the adj.
ministration, now candidy admit that General
Jackson has no chance Of being elected Presi
dent. No combination of circumstances Could
produce that effect-not even the death Of Mr.
Adams. The more the People reflect upon the
conduct and character and want Of principle Of
General Jackson, the more they shuGder Al the
thought Of his being Chief Magistrate.

BLANCHARD's STEAM ENGINE.

The Springfield Massachusetts paper contain
an account of this ingenious piece of mechan-
ism, which was put in operation IN that town
some len days since. After mentioning the
particular construction Of the carriage and ma
chinery for putting it in motion, It is stated
that the management of the Carriage is easy, be-
ing readily carried backwards or forwards, and
turned in any direction. There is in practice,
no difficulty in going up hill, and the carriage
is every way comfortable in going down. II
weighs about half ton, and readily carried an
additional weight Of 500 lbs. up general as
cent. The engine has two inch cylinder, and
the stroke Of the piston is eleven inches; the
boiler is calculated for three gallons. From
the success of this experiment, the inventor,
having obtained patent, has determined to
build another carriage, Of about five or six horse
power, to be in readiness at the opening Of the
spring. Such vehicle may be carried to the
same degree of velocity with that of steam
boat 1t is remarked that "the utility Of this
invention, par,icularly in its adaptation TO rail
ways, need only be alluded 20. 1t obviatcs the
only serious objections to the introduction Of
railways into this country, the immense ex-
pense of the stationary steam engines, as used
in England These may, upon Mr.. Blanch-
ards plan, in which we have entire confidence,
be wholly dispensed with.
