Important DisoOrery.-Most ofthe Impor-
tant discoveries in arts and sciences, have
originated from accident or casual obscrya-
Iion, leading TO consequent experiment.
Various attempts have been made with va
varied success TO prevent the evils arising
from the sparks beng emitted from locomo-
tive or steam engines, and even large pre-
miums have been offered TO obtain that des-
ideratun. But itappears that the essays
were based on wrong principle, in en-
deayoring 10 prevent the emission of sparks
from the chlmneys, instead of procuring
their extlnguishment whether emitted or no.
Mr.. Gabriel Winter, a planter near Dom
adsonyille, IN this state, being on the hur-
rIcane or upper deck of IA steamboat, during
the time that sparks were emitted freely on
all sides, observed that those which pissed
over the escape pipe, become eAtingulshed
and tell.-On tins hint he made expert
ments, and has beyond doubt succeeded in
extlnguIshing the sparks caused by burning
wood for every species Of steam-engine-

A Good Profit 1t appears by report
of the Vermont Mutual Insurance Company
which has been IN operation six years and
half, that they have insured nearly Sll,-
100000 of property. Their losses during
this time have been $50 1000, and the cost
of insuring the same amount of property in
the ordinary companies nj the usual rates,
would have amounted to S435,772 IL !
From this deduct the actual losses, S39, 200
and il shows that Mutual Insurance Com
pany, in six years and half, has saved To
the insured upwards OF $4,000.

Breai.--ln consequence of the cx,ray-
agant price which is now demlnded for flour,
attention has been directed TO the use OF
superlilc rice -four. One part of this uni
ted with three of wheat flour makes the most
" wholesome, and hy far the cheapest family
bread. IL is now extensively used hy the
family bakers in New York, and found to
make superior bread To wheat flour alone.
4 CORES spondeut in the Cnnec,icut Couraut,
states that rice flour is pure iarina, or nuri-
ment that it is perfectly dry, and there lore
makes more bread TO the barrel than any
other -four. II is the most Wholesome of all
farinaccous substances, being the sole food
OF millions in Asia, where protrac:ed lives
are Justly ascrihed To the constant use of
this simple food There is no gluten IN
rice, which makes it palatable with no con-
dlmrnt but common salt, and fl TO eat
without the process of fermentation. The
Inference il III, price Of the two kinds
of flour is an object worthy the attention of
of families "a barrel o wheat flour ought
To contnin one hundred and n,nety-six
pounds; and at the present prces,- tins is
upwards of five cents pound ;-und this,
too, being more or less damp, leaves not
more than one hundred and ninety pounds
of food. The rice -four is perfectly dry,' is
all food, far more wholesome, and sells al
price somewhat below this rate.

Rochester is undoubtedly the greatest
flour manufactory in the world. The
FIGURING Mills are masses of stone edifces,
some of them eight stories high and nearly
three hundred feet long. There are twenty
one mills with ninety six runs of stone in
this city.-Twenty thousand bushels of
wheat are required daily to keep them in
full operation. They can manufacture and
put up ready for mark ct, five thousand bar
rels daily. Ii is estimated that duriug the
year which terminated with the Isi &C Au-
gust last, SIX hundred thousand barrels Of
flour have been sent To market from Roch-
ester, worth about four millions of dollars.

new wife, n widow lady still in the bloom of
life. lie offered himself, and soon the young
man and the widow were united in the
bands of malrimpny, so that in consequence
of these two connexions, father becomes
the son-in-law of his own son, and a wife
not only the danghter-in-law Uf her own
son-in-law, but still more, the mother-in-a law
of her own mother, who is herselfthe daugh-
ter-in-law of her own daughter, while the
husband of the latter is the father-in-aw
of his mother-in-law, and father-in-law to
his own father. Singular confusion may
arise if childan should spring from these

Blowa ap al sea.-IntclIigence has just
been received that the brig Ariel, Capt.
Park, of this port, which sailed hensc for
Carthaerna alb ,ut the middle of August last,
with cargo of six hundred barrels of flour,
fifteen tons Of cordagc, and hnH ton 0t
gmpowicr, nine passengers and four CO.
lumbian sailors, blew up ut sea, on the 81 It
of that month, in latitude 10 10, longitude
66 1. In the middle nfthc night, whilst all
the passengers were asleep, the mate arouS-
ed them with the awful intelligence that the
brig was on fire.
The captain rushcd upon dock, and on
ordering the matches to be taken off, a
dense cloud of smoke ascended from the
lower hold All efforts to extingulsh the
fire by throwing ater into the hold having
proved vain, the captain ordered out the
long-boat in which himself, his crew and
passengers, fourteen in number, embarked,
with nothing but their night clothes on, and
without the smallest quantity either of
food or water aud they had not pro-
ceeded more than half II mile from the burn
ing vessel ere she blew up with an awful
explosion. For thirty-seven hours did
these narrowly escaped and destitute sui
ferers cndcavur to make the land by row.
ing, but finding no prospect of success, they
suuared away for st. Domingo, which
they reached on the 4th of September, at
place called Macau on the north end OF
the island, having been laborlng four days
without a particle of sustenance or the
slightest shelter. After staying at Macau
two days, they proceeded forty miles across
the country to Hiyung, were they obtaiued
aid to get 10 the city Of St. Domingo.
From thence the captain, Mr.. Ealey, pas
senger, and the crew, sailed to New York,
and arrived on Thursday last, in the schoo-
ner Exchange.
