The Editor of the Boston Commercial Gazette
relates the following anecdoe of M. Correa de
Sierra, late Minister PlenipoentIary Of Portugal in
this country.
"About ten or twelve years ago, 10 neighbor-
ing town, the celebrated Able Corea, one Of the
greatest scholars Of Europe, arrived late on Satur
day evening and passed the Sunday a, an inn. The
good lady found her guest pious man but find
ing also that he not inclined to go and hear her
minister, she supposed he must have some wrong
notions about the Bible, and asked The Abbe, in
kind and good naured way, if he would see her
minister? ? He quietly consented and in the even
ing, youth, almost beardess, came to catechise
the Able. The young clergyman entered deeply
into the necessity of reading the Bible To this
the Abbe agreed; and, in answer to inquiries upon
this and that text, gave his opinion, and that Of
cry commentator since the days of ST. Peter, and
all the readings of all these texts in all the anguag
es of the poygot Bible; and the young man can
dtdly confessed that the Portuguese must have
Bibles or at least this must have one
since he came to this country !"

Ice Cdter.-Commodore Wswall has explained
TO us the nature OF the apparatus with which il is
proposed to break the ice, and navigate the North
River by steam during the whole winter. 1t con
ssts of a shaft laid transyersely, at distance of
about three eet from the bow Of the boat, armed
with nolched wheels, or circular saws-anoher
shaft leading from the engine, will cause this to re-
volve with great rapidly, and the whole will be
aided by large and heavy hammer, worked also
by the engine precisely like common steam trip
hammer. This apparatus Capt w. thinks will
enable boat to proceed at rate Of between six
and seven miles per hour, even though the ice
should &c eighteen inches two feet n thickness.
The shalt which is armed with the saws will of
course be of sufficient length to extend beyond
the flare oil the vessel, SO that the wheels will en-
counter only the broken ice. 1t is probable that
this engine will be put into operation during The
approaching winter. If il succeeds, (of which lis
friends have no doubt,) it will be of immense i'm
portance, not only upon the Hudson, but in keeping
open harbors which are lo2en, and in this respec,
our sister city Philadelphia has much 10 hope. The
advantage OF having her harbor open so that the
shipping may enter and depart at all seasons, would
be the greatest boon that she could ask II is
thought that if this experiment succeeds, the river
may be kept constantly open as far as Kingston
where the Delaware and Hudson Cana! will strike
IT, and that from that source, the city may be sup
piled with coal during the wintcr.--.N. X. Times.

"THE KINGDOM OF GEoRoIA."-There are
one or two ofthe States IN this confederacy, that
disposed to erect themselves into separate and
d stinct monarchts, and to hold rod Of iron over
the head of the general government. " The king.

cratic airs, and assumed TO herself the privilege OF
dctating to the President what he shall do, and
among other things. has ordered him to remove
from Office Colonel John Crowell, and to arrest and
ry Brigadier General Gaines and because he
nas refused to do so, her delegated powers have
adopted in General Assembly the following resclu.
tons
