.7ge q improeemeat-Cafe for q broken nsck-Doctor Harrison of London. has published a letter in the Lancet, in which he states that < more than thirty years since, on taking my evening walk, l heard cries for help al short distance. l ran to the spot, and saw a man lying on the ground. A horse was standing near. and the by islanders said the man had just fallen aud broken his neck F was apparently quite dead.

The patient immediately moved his limbs, in two or three minutes raised himself from the ground, stared vacantly, remounted his horse, and rode home, distance of nine miles" The Doctor mentions two other instances in which life has been restored by the same means, under similar circnulstan- ccs. In one of the cases mentioned, the dislocation was reduced bya lady,
 The New York Mercantile remarks, in reference to this statement--"We can see no reason why this may not be true. The instantaneous death which is supposed to occur upon the disloeation of the vertebrae of the neck, may only be in fact a suspen- sion ofanimation, produced by a pressure upon the spinal marrow, which if speedily removed, may not be fatal. At all events, the experiment is worthy of trial, which any one should have presence of mind enough to give it if occaslono ofeted."

 This body, 1t is expected, will adjourn the latter part of the present week.
 It will be seen that the Debate on the 32d Article, which We noticed in our last, was not arrested unal Wednesday, when the convention determined, by vote off 10 5, to amend the Article, by striking out he word Profestdat, and inserting the word Christian. The effect of this amendment, if literally construed will be 10 exclude from office all (and among them ofcourse, Jews,) who deny the truth ofthe Chrtstsan religion, or the divine authority either of the Old or New Testament. Though we should have felt much greater qualification in announ- cing that all Religious Tests had been abo- lished in North Carolina, and that every one was at liberty to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of his own eon- science, yet we feel thankful, that amidst the excitement with which the public mind is now so deeply agitated, so much has been yielded to the spirit of tolerance.
 The Speeches delivered on the occasion cannot fail to prove a rich treat to the pub- lie, and they shall be gratified with the op- portunity ofreading them, so soon as we have published the debate which has order of precedence. Judge Goston's speech. which occupied the best part ef two days in the delivery, was decidedly the greatest eff fort, which fl has ever been our good fortune to hear, and surpassed the most elevated anticipatons of an audience long sensible of that gentleman's great and mefited fame.
 On Thursday, the Convention determined by vote of 74 to A, toelect the Governor of the State by the People, biennially.
 The whole of Friday was occupied with the Report Of he Committee appointed to arrange the Senatorial Districts and appor- ton the Members of the House of Com. mons.

 I ssi5- f;sts 4ei B f ilis extraordinary curiosity was discovered about two years since by some trappers belonging to Caplain Reat's company, y, l,n lEying oa the side of one of the baaver dams of the Rio Grande of the North Ca stream. empiying itseif into the Gulf Of California;, whose waters, it. is said, possess the petrifying qualities .o eminent degree, s;s shores abouHding in specimens of vafieus. animal and vegetable productions fn a petriiea state. aiRbe petriied Bufiala Is described by those who have seen it. to be. as perfect in it's petfefaeton as when living, with the exception of a hole in one of the sides, aboat four inches in diameter, around which the hair has been worn oil, probably by the friction oi the water, in which If must have lain for ages past to have produced such a phenomenon. The hair on the hump and neck, forehead and tail, though eonereted into almost smooth surface, may be easily discerned. The horns, eyes, nostrlls, mouth and legs, are as perfect in their stone as in their pristine state.
 The country iii which this rare specimen was found, is inbabited by the Eutcaux, a rowing tribe of savages, who subsist, q great portion of their lives, on insects, snakes, toads. roots, Sc. This tribe being particularly hostile to the whites, renders the acquisition of this curiosity an under taking not little hazardous; netwithstand. ing this. and many other difficulties te be surmounted, such distance, expense, S1e. our enterprising citizen, Captain Charles Bent, oontempIates procuring and bringing ii to the United States with him. on his fe- turn from Santa Fe, during tue ensuing autumn.

 The Whig papers have hitherto spoken of Mr. Rucker. of Tennessee, as a steam doctor. This, however, turns out to be a mistake. The Petersburg Constellation says, that, at a meeting of steam qnacks about two years ago, Mr. R. was '',alaai- ssostsly expelled fs-ons ttc 5iatsfaity jor dis- reputable conduct isa hte profession.p Find ing himself driven from such honorable so- ciety he finally betook himself instinetiVely but with reluctance 10 the company of the Baltimore humbuggers, and there found his level. The Constellation advises, that whoever persuaded him to give away the vote of Tennessee shall be forced to "break- fast, dine, and sup on red-pepper, lobela broth, and No. 6, the remainder of his natu- raj life" Our ueigbbor of the Advertiser was the offending rogue, and this curious diet Is meant for nim. He has, however, nothing to fear from 1t. His bowels, from long course of discipline, have become so completely Jireproof, that they can safe- ly bid defiance to red-pepper, lobelia, and aqua-fortis.

The Michigan Convention, at the latest accounts, had nearly completed the Consti- tuition, and we're expected to adjourn about the close of last month. All the depart meats of government have been arranged, and are ready to go iuto operation as soon as the choice of tho incpmbents takes place. The judiciary of the new State will consist of one supreme court, and such inferior courts as the legislature may think proper to establish. The Judges are 10 hold their offices only seven years, and are to be re- moved by the Governor on the address of two thirds of both branches of the Legisla- ture. The Legislature is to consist of a Senate and House of Representatives; the Senators to be elected for two years, and one half of them to go out of office every year; the Representatives to be chosen an nually. The Senate to consist of, one third of the number of inc House; the latter ne- yer to eontain less than AS nor more than 100 members. Every county under the present organization to be entitled 10 at least one member.

 TIE LAST or THE TEA PARTY.-Last Friday we had the satisfaction of seeing and conversing with the only survivor of that daring band of patriots who offered the first open resistance to the expressions of It the British Crown. the venerable George Robert Twelven Hewes. Mir. Hewes was passing through Providence from his resi- dencez in Otsego county, N. Y.
 He was born in Massachusetts, On the 18th of September, l735, and on the 4th of July will want only sixty three days of be- ring one hundred gears old. His youngest son, the fifteenth of his children, apparently about forty years old, was with him. We have seen many men of seventy apparently as old as Mir Ifewes. His voice was was strong, his stature quite erect, and his step comparatively firm. He was eyident- Iy, even at this age, brave, high spirited, warm hearted man, whose tongue was ne- yer controlled by ceremony, and whose manners have never been moulded by the fashion of any day. His etiquette may be tea partg etiquette, but it was not acquired at tea parties in Bacon street or Broadway. The venerable Moses Brown, almost his conpeer in years, called upon him and was introduced. The contrast between ihe mild genAemanly mien of the patriarchal friend, and the rough address fihe veteran hero, was strikingly apparent. The one was an apt personilicaton of brazen fronted war, the other the dignifed representation of gentle peace.
 During the Revolutionary war, NIr. Hewes sailed out of Providence in an arm ed sloop, owned by John Brown, captured three prizes, and brought them into port. Our interview with him was so short that we had not an opportunity 10 ascertain the other achievements of his life.
 1he Pianefs Iahabited.--We cannot dis cover any reason why all the planets should be provided with atnospheres. unless 1t was .that they might all be habitable; but those planets claim our attention on another &C., count. The axis ofevery planet, as far as we can discover, is inclined to the plane of its orbit. The effect of such inclination, like that of the earth, IS change of the sea- tsons--a change that seems to be calculated to increase the fruits of the soil, for the ben- eft of man and beast.
