CONGRESS OF PANAMA.

The Providence Journal of Monday
contains we'll written article from Chr
Ii, on the subject of the Panama Con.
gress, and gives the views taken in that
quarter in regard TO it. II appears. that
as late as the Goth May, the Republic of
Chill had not appointed delegates to rep
resent tin the Congress, and that advices
had been received, that the United Prov
inces of the Rio de la Plata we're strong
ly opposed to the Congress. A variety
of causes are assigned for the reluctance
of these States TO accede to the invita-
ton given to them to unite in the meas
ure. Some of them appear to exist in
fears entertained that The States under
the influence of Bolivar, namely, Colon
bia, Guatemala, Peru, and Bolivia, would
attain an. ascendancy in the measures of
the Congress, which would be injurious
TO the prosperity and independence ofthe
minority of the States, and that Europe
an views would be preferred TO Ameri-
can policy. II is stated that suspicious
were entertained Of Bolivar's views ia
originating the measure, and fears that
his unbounded popularity would enable
him to effect any object he might enter
tain, and it was added, that many had not
forgotten his recommendation of an he
reditary Senate in Colombia, and that if
the Congress at Panama should not be-
come like that Of Vienna, or Verona, The
result Of its measures might be ConsoIi-
dation Of the States, the establishment Of
a Federalive Nation, and the curtailment
of State Rights. They were, however,
waiting anxiously for information of the
course adopted by the United States on
the subject, and little doubts existed of
their following the example of the elder
Sister Of the American Republics
The above information was not expect
ed. If il be correct, the excellence of
the course taken by the United States
will be more apparent. The presence
of their Ministers in the Hall of Con-
gress, even ii merely "Lookers on,'' will
not be without its beneficial influence, in
checking foreign or ambitious views,
should they appear on one side, and re-
moving groundless suspicious and undue
jealousies of State rights on the other.
They will carry with them the lessons
Of experience. and afford the Congress

that another fire broke out in Peters

The discovery recently mentioned
as having been made by gentleman in
Delaware County, Penn. of the efficacy
.oF the Cedar Apple in expelling worms,
has excited considerable interest 10 that
neighborhood, and is still strongly recon-
mended. The Editor Of the Chester
Union relates one or two instances that
have come under his own observation,
which demonstrate its powerful efficacy,
and states further, that in no instance
has the remedy failed of having its de-
sired effect. The apple or knot which
is used grows upon the red cedar; il is
sort Of excresence found at all seasons
Of the year on the small boughs or
twigs, and resembles nitted potato
The apple may be eaten like any other
fruit, and the gentleman who made the
discovery recommends one for eyery
year that the child is old--oihers think
less quantity would debut il is per-
fectly innocent, and may be eaten in any
quantity without bad effects. Apples Of

BRUNSWICK, One July II

BRUNSWICK, me- JULY liz
Remarkable effects of Lsghtning.-On
Tuesday last the house of Mr.. Haskell,
of Livermore, Me. was struck and very
mnch injured by lightning. The fluid
entered the chimney, which it rem.
from the top TO the bottom and, burst
ing out in several places, it scattered in
every direction. There was no part OF
the house that it did not enter, nor
scarcely piece of wood which did not
leave marks of the destructive element.
A large hole was burs, out in the roof,
and in either side Of the building sew
eral windows were stove out, clock
considerably damaged, SC. Seven per-
sons were in the house, all of whom
were knocked down, though not seri-
ously injured. But, the most remarka-
BILE circumstance is yet TO be told. Mrs.
Haskell was sitting 10 IA chair about the
middle of one of the rooms, rocking her
infant when the lightning entered. A
part of the fluid, which was traced up
on the floor. took the direction of her
chair, shattered the rocker, passed uE
the post, entered the clothes of Mrs. II
near her hip, passed down her leg into
her shoe, which it stripped into filters
ADD then escaped from the house. Mrs
II. recovered probably in few sec
onds, (as did the others) finding hersel
and infant upon the floor. The face o
her infant being black, she supposed i
dead, but soon found that it was only
covered with SCOT from the chimney
and was not injured. The leg of Mrs
II. was a little burnt, and her feet SC
benumbed as 10 disable her for walking
for some hours, but she is now perfectly
well.

a timely inetdent.-We are informed by
the Recorder of this City that a short time
prior to Mr.. Jefferson's death, he received in-
formation that Mr.. Jefferson being then in
declining health, was perplexed and harrassed
by number of memorable creditors, whose
demands, though severally small, Mr.. Jetfer-
son was utterly unable to meet. The cou-
sciousness Of this fact, and the incre ased i'm
portunities Of these creditors, visibly wore up
on the health and spirits of the sage. But no
sooner did the knowledge of the fact reach
the ears of the Recorder, than, with his won't
ed kindness and alacrity, he had an interview
with Mr.. McIntire, one Of the contract
ors for the Jefferson Lottery, summoned the
committee together, and RENTED TO MIR. J.
the sum Of $500, which had been collected
by the committee. This sum imm. diately re.
lieved him from the pressing exigencics of the
moment, satisfied those patriots who would
have otherwise taken the pound Of flesh, and
smoothed the pahiot's pathway to the
grave.-The remittance was precious boon.

The collection Of 100 rattle snakes, TO
be seen at No. 1877, Broadway, is proba-
bly, the largest collection Of those rep
tiles ever exhibited; and although the
spectator will Involuntary recoil at first
sight from SO many "folded snakes" as
they raise their heads, thrust out their
forked tongues, and fix their burning ba-
silisk eyes upon him, while the room
rings with their hundred raitles, still the
strength Of the box in which they are
confined, soon dissipates the terror, aud
they can then be examined at the most
perfect leisure.-We witnessed an extra
ordinary occurrence on Saturday. Eight
living rats were put into the cage in the
morning, seven of which were speedily
despatched by the angry and hungry rep
tiles; but the eighth was spared-ior Sc v
| eral hours, and we know not but until this
time. In the course of three or four
hours, the rat became somewhat familiar
with his new neighbors; aud before eve
ming, when sticks we're thrust in to irri-
tate the rat, and the snakes also, in order
10 make the latter strike him, the rat
would run among them, scamper over
their backs, and hide himself from his
human tormentors, beneath the scaly fold:
Of his venomous companions. We called

) evening, his ratship was alive and well
