Citu fthe Fdus-The disposal Of the Hotels
and grounds into shares and building lots in the
proposed city at Niagara has attracted an unu-
sual number Of visiters to that quarter this sea-
son. We have heard from many the great and
improved change which Mr.. Atkinson has effect
ed in conducting the Pavilion Hotel The
building of the Assembly Reading Rooms and
Baths, with the Water WORKS, are in progress;
while it is evident all that is wanting is accom-
mediation for the vast number who would reside,
and have in view making the City their resid-
ence The proposal for disposing Of the lots
holds out great inducement for all who can spare
500, as building lot will certainly be obtained
in the distribution, with the chance of obtaining
the Pavilion Hotel, worth $4,000 on the Onta-
ria House, $4,000, independent of the other va
luable lots.
The celebrated BURNING Spring near the pro-
posed City, it is understood will be enclosed, so
as to have Warm Baths for the cure of all kinds
of cutaneous Diseases erected over it. Such
Spring in England or on the Continent of Eu-
rope would Of itself build up city-and no
doubt will prove valuable auxiliary to increase
the value of the lots at the Falls.-N Y. COur.
A late Baltimore paper contains cut, and
description of self-moving instrument, the
power of which resides in "central fly wheel"
A part Of the description is as follows
"The engine being constructed with precis-
ion will continue itself in motion with the great
est velocity and power. The central f1y-wheel
will be considered the primary and main eff
cient cause of motion. If it be required to OBJ
tain an immense power, the addition of a very
small steam engine will be sufficient"
Good-The addition of a small engine aciH be
suficientn This puts us in mind Of the stone
soup; which after being boiled some hours, some
one tasting it thought It would be improved with
the addition of little salt-a second recon-
mended some meat-and a third DrODOSed the
addition of vegetables and savory; so it was f.
nally agreed that it was pretty good soup. The
same no doubt of this selfmoving instrument;
it is necessary to apply steam engines enough,
and no doubt it will go with the "greatest We
locity and power" Phil Gaz.

we not here, now, continued the Corpo-
raj, (striking his stick into the ground, }
and are we not gone in a ?"-
This passage of the sentimental Sterne,
is forcibly illustrated by the tragical de-
mise of Mrs. kingatara Spooner, the
late blooming bride Of Captain Charles
Spooner, gallant master of the whaling
ship Erie, belonging to Newport. On
the fifth of November last, the subject
Of this brief paragraph, was wood and
won. She was married on the Island of
Otaheite, by the Rev. Mr.. Pritchard.-
Soon after this event, she sailed with
her husband on a whaling cruise, for
Tongataboo. There they arrived safe
and sound, and without doubt looked for
ward, with hope, to many and bright
days yet to come. But, Otahetean la
dies must indulge in swimming, married
or not married. So in the slow progress
Of one unlucky day, as Mrs. Spooner
was sporting amid the waves Of n treach-
erous sea, bounce comes hungry shark,
and with him, death to Captain Spoo-
ncr's hopes. In short, he nmputated the
lady so barbarously, that she Gied under
the operation! This information is de-
rived from Capt. MAYHEM, of the ship
arrived at this port, last week.

The only intelligence Of Importance
from France, is that Of the death of Gen.
Lafayette. Rumors prevailed in Paris
on the Goth, Of the mental alienation of
the King Of Great Britain, which appear
to have been wholly unfounded, and ex-
cited much Indignation on the part ofthe
English.
No events Of decisive character had
taken place in Spain. The Carlists were
in considerable force in Biscay and Ma
varre. There are accounts of some
skirmishes Of trifing Importance.
The accounts from Portugal Indicate
unusual activity on the part Of the hostile
forces. Coimbra had been evacuated,
and fell into the hands of the troops of
Donna Maria on the 9th ult. The Duke
of Terceira had previously effected a
junction with the Spanish forces under
Gen. Rodll. The Miguclites had ap-
peared in considerable strength in the
South Of Portugal, but had sustained re-
pc ated defeats.
