| reached the extensive area into which the
two tunnels open, the scene was lively and
Interesting. The day was peculiarly fne.
In the area number of we'll dressed indi-
viduals sauntered about examining the lofty
walls of solid rock by which they were in
closed and admiring in particular the
mouths of the two tunnels, which are beau
tifully cut, with the pick-axe only, in fine
red freestone streaked with white, and hav-
ing the appearance of marble.
Soon after the Mayor and his friends, in
GLIDING several of the prorprietors, took their
places in common railway wagon, fitted
with seats for the occasion, (the handsome
machines for passengers not being 6nished,)
and being pushed to the mouth of the great
tunnel, set off, down the gently inclined
plane, without horse or other drag, at a rap
id rate, under guidance of Mr.. Harding and
his son, regulated the speed of the machine
by friction lever. By this time parties of
ladies and gentlemen promenaded the cav
erned extent of the tunnel, and the gas,
burning brilliantly, gave the coup de esl an
indescribably beautiful and Undressing effect.
The velocity of the machine was frequently
strayed as it proceeded down this apparent
ly interminable cavern, to prevent accidents
on passing the crowds who passed up and
down on the road. This precaution, how.
ever, was scarcely thought necessary, for
the thunder of the wheels was heard from
one end of the tunnel to the other. and there
was ample light for the pedestrians to see
its approach, and ample room for them to
avoid its course. AS it rolled along, at the
rate of about five or six miles an hour, i'm
patient of the restraint of the friction lever,
the pedestrians stood still, and gazed upon
it in wonder.
Asense of high qualification, seemed to be
the prevalent feeling, and after delightful
ride of about ten minutes, the road taking a
slight turn, brought the company again, to
daylight at the entrance of the tunnel near
to Mapping. The Mayor and his friends
alighted, and took their departure, express
ing their admiration, and their best wishes
for work of which Liverpool may be justly
proud, and which indeed, will become ma
tional advantage.
VERY LATE FROM BUENos AYREs. On
Sunday last the brig Mexican arrived at
Baltimore from Buenos Ayres, bringing
papers TO July l, containing news of
treaty of peace having been concluded
between Lavalle and Rosas, by which
it was stipulated that an election should
be made of new government, under
whom the two leaders were TO place their
troops.
On the same day arrived the schooner
Two Marys, in the short passage of 43
days, bringing news to Aug. 5, at which
date Buenos Ayres was in dreadful state
of confusion hostiities being about to
break out anew. An election was held
July &c, when Lavalle was reelected.
This choice caused great dissatisfaction.
The U. S. ship Vandalia had arrived at
Buenos Ayres-officers and crew all well.

CoMMITTAL OF WADE. On Friday last
John Wade was brought before the Po-
lice Court in Boston, on the charge of
larceny for having taken SIS, 100 from the
Suffolk Bank. He pleaded guilty, and
was ordered to recognize for his appear
ance at the next Municipal Court, in the
sum of $40, 000-but for want of sureties
he was committed. Wade, it seems, af-
ter taking the money, took passage in a
packet for Bath, where he stayed some
days, and then took passage again for
Boston, and arrived there on Thursday.
The captain of the vessel, after learning
in town the particulars of the larceny,
suspected his passenger-and, as the lat
ter was going away from the packet with
his trunk, called him back. Wade did
not deny the charge made by the captain,
but voluntarily went to the Jail, accompa-
MED by the captain, who did not know
the way, and delivered himself up to Mr..
Badlam, and also $4,000. The other 500
Wade said he dropped from his pocket in
the stable Of the Marlboro Hotel, where
he sat down few moments. 1t was found
tucked away under the sill.

exposed to the ribaldry and scurrility of
the vile and profigate. And thus many
high Offices come to be filled by second
and third rate men, who are thrust in by
fourth rate men. This is not right-but
this is the fact in many very many ,instan-
ces. You may put forth your energies
and remove evils from among the people !;
you may check-peradventure you may
destroy, that monstrous curse, intemper-
ance-but greater curse remains. 1t is
the foul calumny-the filthy lie, that
spread over the whole face Of society and
penetrate its bosom and corrupt its
heart-it is the poisoned shaft, aimed at
the wisest and the purest-and to which
the sohole people may one day give its
venom. Many Of our publick prints are
but nurseries of venom and rancour, while
they ought to be earnest in giving more
healthful character to political warfare. If
with one accord they would adopt this
course they would do much to raise the
reputation of their country. Political
warfare must always be waged, but let it
be waged with clean hands as well as
stout hearts.

FOREIGN News. Our foreign news
this week will be found to possess considerable in
terest. The prospect of an early termination ofthe
war between the Russians and Turks seems to be
at an end. Both sides are continuing their opera
tons with great vigour. The important city, Erxe-
rum was taken from the Turks on the 9th June,
and the fortress of Hassam-Kale. The Seraskier
and four Pachas were taken prisoners and $50 can
non had fallen into the hands of the Russians Err
zeram is the capital of Turkish Armenia, and has a
population exceeding, probably 100000. 1t is sur
rounded, like all ancient Cities with stout wall of
stone. On the European side, the Russians have
crossed the Balkan with 10000 men. There can be
no doubt that there will be much hard fighting in
the comparatively level country between the foot Of
the Balkan range, and Adrianople.
FROM THE PAcIFIcK. By the arrival at Balti-
more on Tuesday last of the ship Orbit in So days
from Valparaiso, news is received of revolution in
Lima in favour of tho Bolivian party. 1t was ef-
fected on the 9Th of June, without bloodshed Ga
MARIA was made President, and La Fuientes Vice
President.
The United States frigate Brandywine was at Cal
lao the I'd June, together with the sloop of war
Vincennes. The United States frigate Guerrero

MAINE ELECTION. The embittered
controversy is fairly over, and nought is
left save the sediment of the political in
gradients now quietly finding its level at
the bottom of the cauldron. We hope
never again to witness such gross attacks,
such strange and vulgar abuse as has been
poured out during the contest. The max
i'm that all is fair in politicks, a Machiave-
Ian maxim truly. is as much at war with
true notions Of right, as when applied to
the conduct and relations Of private life.
There seems TO be strange delight in
overreaching and circumventing in poll
ticks, even where straight forward course
would be the best policy; for, say what
we will, there is strong penchant among
your full blooded patriots and politicians
to little knavery. 1t shows talent they
think, and that they are not silly: and
they Judge rightly that the world will more
than half approve of the one and look
with contempt upon the other. Among
all the Improvements in the age, and a.
mong all the societies that occupy or waste
the time, it is strange that the better part
of the community has not put forth its
strength, TO crush the malignant spirit
that has crept into every publick canvass.
The result ofthis apathy is, that many ex-
cellent and well educated citizens prefer
the tranquility Of private life to being
presented before the publick-there to be

SUPREME COURT AT WORCESTER. The
law term of the Supreme Court in this
county begins to-day. The law docket is
quite full. Owing, however, to an adjourn
ed term to be held in Suffolk, the sitting
here for law arguments will be but a
week-and those gentlemen of the long
robe whose cases are late on the docket,
will, very likely, have the pleasure Of wri-
ting out their arguments at length. A
delightful task On Thursday comes on
the trial of Daniel Newton OF Shrewsbu-
ny, for the murder of Ezekiel Knowlton.
Messrs. Rejoice Newton and VIM. Lin
coin Of Worcester, are counsel for the
prisoner.

WEATHER AND WOODS. We had a
very violent shower of rain last Friday af-
ternoon accompanied with heavy thunder
and vivid lightning. 1t was quite re-
freshing to our dry and dusty Streets
Since Friday, the weather has become
quite cool. People begin to shut their
doors, and stir the fire, and when they
walk out, safely stow away their hands in
their pockets. The forests are motley
the trees are in harlequin dresses. Pur-
pie, red, yellow are fast taking the place
of the deep green foliage, and nothing
scarcely in the woods, save the pine, re-
wives the recoilections of June. But it is
a gorgeous picture, and long can one gaze
upon it. though with feelings entirely diff
ferent from those inspired by early sum-
mer. If any of our distant readers intend
visiting The valley we invite them to come
speedily or else wait till June. The trees
are in splendid groups preparing for a
dance-but, is almost the dance of

In whitened coat;

And deeper grew the thickening shaw,

But, she forgot,
A wealthy Laird had sought her ham
Who owned bath meickle gowd an lam,
The chief was he, o. a the clan

But Elsie's beauty, won the man
More than her worth;
And at the kirk, the following morn
Triumphant would this lass be borne
An leave lover sad, forlorn,
For siller base,
Who, ere he went thro' life to mourn
Would see hen face.

But, ere the tender lamb was penned
The lad appeared,

For when the angry youth he spied
He quick withdrew
