SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

Extract Of letter from Charles w. Dabney,
ESQ. Consul of the United States for the A
zores, to S. Pomeroy, Brighton, Mass. dated
FGyGi, March 10Th, 1926.
"A remarkable case of spontaneous combus-
ton lately occurred on board Of schr Hiram,
loaded with wool, bound fromBilboa to N.York
in consequence of some Hnseed OIL being acct
IDENTITY split on the cabin floor On smoke be-
ing discovered tic crew ran on deck, and Sc
cured every avenue TO the hold, & remained on
deck with scarcely provisions sufficient to sup
port nature for six days; when they were SO
fortunate as to reach this port. 1t was not eX-
2ccted that the vessel would be saved, but we
resolved to hazard her for the chance of saw
ing part of the cargo. which was very valuable
The vessel was brought TO anchor, lighters
and as many men as could work were sent
off An axe was placed by the cable, and a
sail was ready to be hoisted to run the ves-
sci on shore, in case they should not be able
to subdue the flames; every precautioD iha:
prudence could dictate, was taken, and the
matches were opened; 10 bales Ct wool passed
into the lighters; no smoke appeared; the cabin
was opened and the fire found to be extinct,
having consumed part of several bales of wool,
the cabin bulk.head, one pump, and part Of the
s,arboard-locker! 1t was the most miraculous
escape ever heard Of The vessel was repair
ed, took in her cargo, and will sail in about an
hour"
Manufacture Of a Paper ,chich has the Property
Of removing Rust from articles Of Iron and Steel.-
After having dried certain quantity of pun
ice among live Goals and reduced it to powder,
grind it with linseed oil varnish, and then d.
lutte it with the same varnish, until it be thin
enough 10 be laid upon paper with pencil
To give this layer yellow, black, or brown
ish-red color, the mass is mixed, before ap-
plying it 10 the paper, with little ochre,
English red, or lamp black. Care must be
taken to lay the substance on as equally as pos
sibe, and to dry it in the air. When the first
coat thus applied to the paper is dry, another
is to be laid on in like manner. Those who
manufacture il for sale pass the paper thus pre-
pared through cylinder, TO render it smooth
1t is further to be observed, that the mass must
be liquid, and that it mus, be stirred about be-
fore applying it to the paper.

Ii may be a little curious to consider what
the effect will be in Brazil of the death of the
King of Portugal. Should the Emperor Pc
dro prefer the little but ancient Kingdom OF
Portugal, to the wide spreading, but unsettled,
empire Of Brazil, il may lead TO state OF things
in this latter country, favorable to the views OF
those who desire to see the whole American
continen, governed by republics alone.
The presence or vicinity Of Bolivar may tend
very much to strengthen the hands Of the par
~ in Brazil, which seeks to assimilate its form
of government to that of the other American
States: and if while the minds of men are fer
menting, intelligence be received OF the kings
death, and the question Of succession is 10 be
moo,ed, it is more than probable we think, that
Don Pedro will leave an empire, of which the
foundations are yet to be fixed, for i kingdom
as legitimately founded, and as passiyely sub
miss,e as any one beneath the sway Of the
Holy Alliance. 1t is indeed true that at Lis
bon some conspiracies have broken out latter
ly, or for some political objects have been stir
red up, or invented, by those around the gov
ernment; bu, the people of Portugal are, we
apprehend, as patient of She yoke, as any race
in Christendon.
Brazil, under republican form of govern
merit, and at peace with the united provinces
Of Buenos Ayrcs, would speedily become one of
the most productive, wealthy, and powerful
states of the new world.

William cambridge Cox, who robbed The
mail between Baton Rouge and New Orleans
on the 18th January last, and who recently
broke Jail from Batavia in this State, was bro't
to town this morning in the steamboat Chief
Justice Marshall, in custody OF the sheriff of
Gennessee county. Cox was arrested far in the
interior Of Upper Canada, whittier he had fed
His retreat was discovered BY confdane
whom he sent to his step-father in Batavia for
money. The father furnished the messenger
with horse, clothes, and $500 in money for
his son, which having received, the faithless
friend turned States evidence for the sake Of
the s 1000 reward offered for the apprehension
of Cox, and betrayed his place Of concealment
The deputy postmaster of Batavia, Mr.. See
Yer, together with a Mr., Carer of that place,
starred in pursuit, and having hired four Cana
diane, they succeeded in taking Cox, under
what authority we know not, and brought him
to Buffalo, whence he was conveyed to Albany,
in the short time Of 81 hours, by stage. He
will, we presume, be sent TO Louisiana for trial.

two mills above this place. We have never

BoNprNG AND wAREHOUsIyG SYSTEM.

BnNDiNG AND w AREHOCSINu oio In
Quebec, .ApyE 1.-THE following notice ap-
pcared in late paper published by authority
in this city,
"An impression having gone abroad that the
Warehousing and Bonding system, under the
new Trade Acts Chapters 70 and Ia, is appil-
cable to the Inland Ports of this Province and
TO the trade through them with the United
States-it is right that this erroneous impress
sion should he corrected, and that the trade
should understand, that the facilities granted
BY the Bonding and Warchousing system. are
confined to importations oy sea at the port OF
Quebec"
If we understand this paragraph, IL means
that the produce Of the United StaIes-imPorl-
ed into the Canadas by land or inland naViga-
ton, cannot be warehoused or bonded at Que
bee, under the provisions of the 9th Geo ~.
chapter ia. These identical productions may
be imported by sea, however, and warehoused.
We hear that the construction given to the
act rests on the practicability OF executing II
in any other manner, as the duties must De paid
on entrance at the inland ports, which are not
free warehousing ports by the act. These du-
ties cannot be returned, and the produce then
bonded at Quebec.
If this Interpretation be final, the provisions
ofthe act are idle. 1t appears 10 us vain, under
such construction, to expect the bonding Of a
single article at the port Of Quebec. Yet we
conceive the Act clearly intended that Quebec
should be port for bonding American produce
coming down the ST. Lawrence, indeed it is i'm
possible from the situation Of Quebec that any
thing else could be meant,and ii has been so un-
derstood in the United States.
Under the disputed right to free Naviga-
ton of the ST. Lawrence, it was natural to ex-
pect that Great Britain, consulting the interests
of colonial trade, with desire also to main
tain a good understanding with the Wash
ington Cabinet, would at least place the eXpor-
tation of the produce Of the countries OF the
United States bordering on the ST. Lawrence,
on footing not worse than before. But the
late acts, if interpreted as aforementioned,
have effectually made the case of the Ameii-
cans infinitely worse; and if their Government
has received no definite reply TO their claims,
claims which will be abandoned with great re-
luctance; it must see that Great Britain has
completely overIeachedit, and in truth efiectu-
ally re ectcd the claims.

DARING ROBBERY.

Two men were arrested last evening, says
the Chronicle, and taken before Squire Moore,
on suspicion of having robbed The Lottery Of
fee of Mr. - H. France, of this city. One is
a Frenchman, and calls his name John S La
fitte, mariner; the other an American, and
calls himself Stevens, ant, says he is grocer in
Sixth-street, Philadelphia. The Tickets and a
considerable sum Of money were found upon
them They state they arrived here on Tues
day morning at O'Clock, from Philadelphia,
and proceeded on to Washington, and returned
to this city yesterday evening. The circum-
stances Of the robbery are these-they entered
Mr. Frances Office about O'Clock, or imme-
dia,ely after candle light, and finding no one in
but small boy, secured him by tying his
hands with a cord and his feet with handker-
chiei, and threatened his life it he made the
least noise; having placed him in the back
room, proceeded TO rifle the drawer Of its con-
tents, and then left the boy tied, and jumping
into a hack made of; soon after which the boy
succeeded in untying the cord that bound his
hands, and hobbling to the door gave the alarm;
pursuit being Immediately made, they were
fortunately arrested by Mr.. Griswel, Mr.
Hauptman, and MIR. Ives, three Of our active
police officers, TO whom our citizens arc great
ly indebted for their vigilance, in bringing
these bold and daring villains to Justice We
trust that this exemplary conduct Of our Off
GERS, will deter the evil doors at distance from
visiting our city They were committed TO
prison, where they will await their trial.

The Medical Journal Of Gironde contains a
story which is certainly very remarkable ii true.
This paper asserts that an old gentleman Of
Bordeaux, Nj Chastellies de Montplaisir, who
is the posscssor of family secret, which was
tried long time since in a case Of hydropho-
bia, had the courage to go to Paris last sum-
mer, and solicit the humble favor Of being bit
ten automatically by mad dog, in order 10 prove
the efficacy of his preservative medicine.
The 26th of August, 1925, the authorities OF
the department of the Seine gave permission
for the experiment, and the same day NJ. Mont
plaisir received, with an incredible hrmness,
eight very deep bites in the hand and the left
arm, from dog in the height of his fury, and
who was in a confirmed state Of madness. The
wounds caused by these bites were not cauter-
lied. NJ Montplaisir simply dressed them
with preparation of his own, and afterwards
ate an omelet prepared by himself. His health
was not at all impaired during the two months
stay that he made in the capital after the expe-
riment He finally sat out for Bordeaux, and
10 this time he does not appear TO dread any
attack of the terrible malady with which he has
been inoculated, but from which he firmly be-
lieves he has forever preserved himself by the
timely use he made Of his mysterious preyen-
tatiye.

We extract from the Bremen Gazette, which
we bave received this morning, the following
notice of remarkable conviction, and the still
more remarkable disclosure Of the state of
crime in Germany
"Maysncc, Mdrch 6.-Mausche Nudel, the
swinder, and captain of banditti, notorious in all
Germany, Switzerland, Alsace, and Lorraine,
has been brought before the Court of Assizes
here; and after trial, which occupied several
days, condemned to death. His remarkable
fine and expressive countenance has excited
much interest for him, especially among the
women. His agility and almost supernatural
strength, are no less distinguished than his
coun;enance and figure. The indictment recites
among other adventures OF his, that he let HIM
self down from prison al Bremen, 3 stories
high, and loaded with his irons, swan thro' the
Weser, tina; when in the middle Of the river he
received musket shot in his leg, & yet escaped.
The execution Of this man, whose crimes are
innumerable, was fixed for to-day, but has been
put off to avoid, for the present, the collecting
of great crowd OF people, considerable irrlta-
ton prevailing at present on account OF recent
unhappy event A custom-house officer shot
man dead who was passing the bridge, and did
not Immediately stand still when he called TO
him. He was citizen of Mayence, and father
of a numerous family. The people attacked
the custom-house officers, and the numerous
Prussian and Austrian arrison had much trou-
Die in restoring tranquility. In the speech OF
the City Procurator, on the trial ofNudle, there
was some interesting information respecting the
existence of all the robbers in Germany, drawn
from, authentic sonrces The result is that

1t has been lately decided in the English
Court of Kings Bench, that an Endorsement in
pencil marks is valid and good, and it was re-
marked by the Lord Chief Justice that the de-
cision was not likely to do injury, as the imper-
lection of this method was so great, that persons
would make Endorsements in ink wherever it
could be procured.
