From BRAzIL. We learn by the brig Susan:
at this port yesterday, from ST Salvador, June
5th, that there have been many sanguina rv
skrmishes between the Brazilians and PortT-
guese, in which the Portuguese were defeated
with the loss of many lives. The Brazilian
government has ordered all the old Portuguese
to quit the country, and has given them thirty
days for that purpose. The country is in a
more quiet state than was represented at the
last dates-but anarchy and disorder are BY no
means suppressed-Salem Register.

From ST. PETERsBURGK. Capt DIVER, of
the brig Czarlna, from Cronstadt, MAY g. states
that very little was published at ST Petersburgh
relative to the war against Poland The Rus
SLAMS generally admitted the loss of 81, 900 men
since the commencement of the campaign, and
it was SAID that the Emperor anticipated the
sacrifice of 200,0 900 lives before the final subiu-
cation Of that country.
1t was currently reported at Elsineur that the
Poles, aided by the Lithuanian Insurgents, had
cut off the Russian supplies, and that Diebitsch
would be compelled to enter the Prussan do
minions it was also reported that wilma was
in possession of the Insurgents.

AIEI IEFILLEJ July o.
AS We pass along the streets of our once beau
tiful, but now runous village, the eye is occa-
sionally cheered and the mind relieved flom its
melancholy musings, by the appearance of tho
busy workmen, and the usual preparations for
building. Already the enterprise and perse-
verance of our fellow citizens, is manifested, IN
the removal of some houses, the erection of
others, and the gathering of materials for more.
Each day we have the gratifying assurance that
our townsmen do not despair Ten small
houses have been removed entire two respec-
table frame houses have been nearly completed :;
four other frames have been put up.

STEAM Boar ACCIDENTS. The July number
Of Profe ssor Slliman's popular work, the Jour
nal of Science, contains an interesting article
on the means of insuring the safety Of steam
boilers. Among other matters of interest, a
detailed list of deaths by explosion on board of
steam boats is furnished, by which the whole
loss of life in this country, since the introduce
tion of steam boats, appears TO fall greatly short
of the statements which have from time TO Tina
been made. The whole number of deaths ia
stated at 254. This fact, while it should by
no means diminish the caution necessary in tho
management of the tremendous power, to avoid
accidents by steamboat travelling Has not
the proportion of lives lost by other modes of
travel greatly exceeded this number ?"

REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE. During the

wagon with eight men in it was returning from
Hatfield meadow to the village, the lightning
descended upon the horses and killed them both.

there was no tree, no elevated object near, to
attract the electric fluid. The men were sew

with them, and there was iron on the wheels
and other parts of the wagon, yet the lightning

horses. No traces OF it could be discovered on

could be traced. The injury done to the har-
ness was trihng a few holes were made

JAcKsoNIsM IN PENNSYLVANIA. Extracts
from letter from Mr.. Clayton, Senator from

" Recent developments at Washington have

posed in the eyes of enlightened Europe. Ifan
appeal to the love of country, and the sense of
honor, Of the highminded and patriotic among
our political opponents should now fail us in
the hour OF Our adversely as a people, we NAV

the appeal be made, and loudly and IN the hone
that your efforts to this end may be successful,
my heart shall be with you in your celebration,
though my voice cannot be raised to express
my feelings amidst the festivities of that day.
The eyes OF our eountrymen row rest with
anxious gaze upon the State of Pennsylvania,

months, and having made great havoc through

In Moscow; but it was raging in the Russian
army acting against Poland, and to limited
extent had even got into the Polish ranks.
We have drawn this rough sketch that our
readers may know something of this terrible

large number of deaths among those who are

with which we have but little intercourse, YET
