The Fire King.-There can be nobody in this town who can read, who has not heard of the ex- plolts of M. Chauben, the consumer of poison and conquerer of fire of whom the Kenucklans would say that he can whip his weight in saamanders and that for ten dollars you may throw in streak of lightning, or steam engine to boot. He is now in this city, and has already exhibited his extraordina ry accomplishment to q select party of scientific gentlemen and some fire eaters. There is no jug glery in his performance. His secret is in his ant dote and in bis chemIcal preparations. This is eel tifed both in England, and by the gentlemen who attended at his private exhibition the other evening and strictly scrutinzed his proceedings. His next public exhibition is postponed until Monday, as will
 down in the program will be performed; to the as tonlshment of those who in the way of refreshment prefer cold water to prussic acid, and lemonade to melted lead; who would rather wipe their mouths with danask napkin than with bar of red hot iron, and would rather eat their beef steaks when nicely served up by the waiter, than get into the oven and cook them themselves. Walter Scott's Fire King was a fool to M. Chaubert who has the freedom of the destroying element and is at the same time harmless to his mortal friends. Mithri- dates fool to him. for he made no money out of his performance in the way of eating poison, and his familiarity with it at last proved his bane in the wrong way. They say the al sends cooks; but M. Chaubet has no need to make contract with him, he can jump into the fire himself, and make
 it do it's biddid on his own account. He is Chau- bert the Ignpotent and has busted Vulcan from his titles and prerogatives,-N, Y. Com. Adp.

The following beautiful lines upon Autumn. ar. froD Love-" poem by the author of "The cornlaw.p inc, published in London
 Dost thou mourn with me
 The years autumnal spring7 Sigh's thou this second wreath to see, Of woodbines blossoming2 So late, so pale, with scentless breath, Like lingering Hope, that smiles in death, And cen when life is OCT, Leaves on Misfortunes ice-cold face The sweetness of it's last embrace, To fade, and be no morei Lo, Junc's divosted primrose sports A silken coif again; And, like late-smiling sickness, courts The coy morn-bot in vain Lo half the elm's rich robe is gone The ash, living skeleton,
 Deplores his yellow hair; Yet, while the beech-leaf ,rustles red, And while the maple bows her head In mourn(ul hon0rs fair-A- Methinks the armed gorse appears More golden than when May Left April dying in her tears
 Beneath the ptpay spray; And, for her lover's triumph won, Danced with her blue-bell anklets on. And bless'd his burning eye. Come, Laura, come and here the thrush, Ger autumn's gorse, from budding bush, psheath f1e Iresu green leaf That mocks the aged year, Thy bard, who loves the joy of grief Shall weave chaplet here; Not pluckd from summers whered bowers, Not iorn'd of autumn's hopeless flowers Yet sad and wan us they; Here, still some flowers of Eden bIow; But deadly pale and stained with wo
 Like guilt they shun the day While Folly treads beneath his feet
 The daisy of the vale; Loves rose though sick at heart, is sweet Joys leaf is fair, though pale And worth admires, resigned and meek The tear-drop on the volet's cheek,
 And hope shall death survive.

4 .Nc7v Route.-About week since the goods of one of our merchants (Mr E.. C.. MARCEL which had been purchased in New York, arrived in this city by the way of Chi cago. The goods were sent up the New York canal, thence by schooner to Chicago, thence in wagons, to the rapids ot the Illinois river, where they were again shipped on boad a steamboat for this place. This experiment which Mir MARCH has made, and the success attending it are important, as it has establish ed the following facts.
 First, That goods shipped from New York by way of the lakes, will even in the present state of the improvement ofthe route, arrive here in twenty five days, or less than half the time that they are usually obtained by way of New Orleans.
 Second, That the cost of transportation by the former route will be from one third to one-half less than by the latter. In the pre- sent case, the freight paid on the goods was only of the sum charged on the Orleans route, and the goods were insured from New-York to Chicago for per cent, whereas the insu- rance by the way of the sea is 2l per cent.
 Third, When goods are shipped by the way of the lakes, the merchant can calculate almost to certainty, within two or three days, upon the time of their arrival great CohVChiehec, to say tne leaSt, put one which he does not at present possess.
 Fourth, The probability that the goods will be lost by the way when shipped round by sea- taking the cost of insurance for the criterion, is as 2 to ], or five times greater than when sent through the interior. This is an important consideration. For, even sup posing the goods to have been insured to the full amount of cost and charges-which we believe they seldom are-yet the merchant must necessarily sustain the loss of some two or three months business-and that usually in the best season of the year--upon the fai- lure of his goods to arrive
 These facts appearto us conclusively to es- tablish the superiority of the new route over the old one, and to shew the importance of whatever improvements may give facility to the inland transportation.
 he water communication is now complete all the way from New-York to St. Louis, with the exception only of the distance from Chicago to the Rapids on the Illinois river 75 miles, Why should not a Rail Road con stiucted here, prove alike useful to the coun- try and profitable to the owners of its stock {? That it would be so in both cases appears to

us not only probable, but almost certain.- For the portion of country through which it would extend, and to which it would afford facilities for transportation, is rapidly filling up with population, and it is evident that the supplies of Eastern merchandise for the two states of Illinois and Missouri, and portion of Indiana, would be all obtained by that route Much also of the produce of these states would be sent to the east by the same way. Nay, would not even the citizens of Arkansas and a part of Tennessee receive their goods sooner and cheaper by this route than any otheri
 The subject appears to us we'll worthy the attention of some of our eastern capitalists, who would be glad of an opportunity to make profitable investment of their surplus funds
