 Key West.-Therc has been strange dOings at this Island. Every thing, however, has been kept very snug until lately. when fearing the consequences of further delay, some dis closures ha@e, been made which induced a visit from the marshal, in order to pay his re- spects to about 60 individuals. Great busi- ness, we learn, is doing in the mercantile and commercial ways, and it is said commissions on sales at auction amount to 1000 dollars per day.
 We farther learn that an affray took place there between one of Com. Porter's men and an Amercan-that the latter made complaint before a territorial Jusice, (Pinckney.) who sent for the former and upon an investigation Ofthe case, fined him $50. Probably the jus tice belongs to the joint stock company. l: is unfortunate fer the Territory that if never has yet been able to come in share and share alike.-E. FlOrid0 Herald.
 THE UNITED STATES AND BRAzIL.-The following paragraph, from the National Jour nal furnishes reason to believe that the Bra gillian government are disposed to make due concessions to the United States, to preserve a good understanding with us. '' There have lately been frequent conferences between MT. Clay and Mir. Rabelle, the Chagre q Af- fairs of his Majesty. the Emperor of Brazil, and several official notes have passed in rela- ton to late unpleasant incident at Rio de Jancrio. We are told that such satisfactory assurances have been made as will preserve friendly relations betwen the two countries"

Two new ships are to be added to the trade from Il siness is now carried OF to a very considera- ble extent, as we are happy to learn, with profit, from NewHaven."
 A severe hail storn, accnrred at Danville, (Vt.) on Monday, of last week. Its ~~e.nt was very limited, and its ravages principally confined to the village; consisting in the de struction of window glass. It is computed that from IA to 1500 panes of glass were bro ken in the village, and an hundred or two, perhaps out of it. Some of the hailstones were as large as partridge eggs, ,and the ground was literally covered with them.
 An extraordinary surgical operation.-A tu- nor weighing upwards of eigkt pounds, lar ger in size than the human head, was extract ed entire from the abdomen of a woman in London, on the e1st of March, by Dr. Gran vile. Notwithstanding the extent of the in cision, such was the facility with which the operation was performed, that the quantity of blood lost, did not exceed two ounces.
