From the Baltimore american.
THE DEBT OF ENGLAND.

The following amusing calculation is from
a late London paper. Ii should cause the
bosom Of every American TO swell with
pride, at the contrast between England and
the United States. While the former is bur-
dened by an enormous debt, the latter has a
surplus revenue of $40 900 900 in the pub
lie treasury.
The weight OF the national debt, in gold,
amounts TO ii ,0SS ,472 pounds, or 62S2 tons
cwt. 3 qrs. l3 lbs; in silver to 266 $685.
666 pounds, or ll9 ,047 tons IL cwt Or IA
lbs. To transport this debt across the seas,
in gold, il would require fleet of twenty.
five ships of $50 tons burtben each. TO
carry the whole debt By land, il would re-
quire IL, $50 one horse carts, each cart being
loaded with bali a ton OF gold. These would
extend, in one unbroken line, 35 I 2 miles.
II conveyed by soldiers, and every soldier
were to carry so lbs weight in his knapsack,
il would require an army Of 2S1 ,769 men.
Eight hundred millions Of sovereigDs, piled
one upon another, or formed into one close
column, would extend ITO miles. If this
column were commenced at the Lizard, or
extreme point of Cornwall, and continued
nortbward, il would reach fen miles beyond
John OGroaps house, at The extreme point
of Scotland. The same number Of sover-
eigns laid fiat, in a straight line, and touch
ing each other, would extend / ,04S miles,
or more than "a times round the moon.

Curious Experiment in Natural His
tory.--A lady of the name of Lendon,
particularly attached to the study of ma
ture. had fancy to attempt to hatch an
egg by the natural heat Of her bosom.
Having selected new laid one of ia.
vorite breed, and put it into flannel bag,
she placed it between her breasts, care.
fully attending at night to secure that
portion OF warmth necessary to perfect
existence, during incubation. AT length
the time came to relieve the nalcent
chick from the brittle cell of its confne-
ment; the moment was perceprible by
the appearance of its little beak through
the large end of the she!l--but lest an
injury should arise in the animal by too
preclpitate wish to emancipate it from
its prison, the lady frequently applied
drop Of water 10 the bill of her nursing,
till at last it had acquired strength to eff
feet it's own deliverance.
1t appeared in every respect as per-
lect as if it had been reared by its nat
ural mother but its foster parent, not
thinking her task finished, attended TO
its feeding with the utmost assiduity !;
vigilantly protected it from the cold and
in due time, had the pleasure to find it
fine henbird, of perfect growth and
beauty.
In the course Of three years it has lain
800 eggs, and brought up several broods
OF chickens, and one of ducks; but its
singular habits are yet to be remarked
and are well deserving the notice Of the
curious in natural history. Its domesti,
qualities are numerous. 1t CONSTANT,
prefers the house and the company o
its kind protector to that Of its own spe
cies, and shows desire to ACCOMPANY
her wherever she goes.
This extraordinary hen obtained TIT
name OF Fanny seems to understand it
MISTRESS language, and by marks Of af
lection shows it is not insensible to graf.
itude. In word, it appears to have
lost many o! the natural habitudes of its
kind, to have acquired some Of the bes
qualities of the human race--a sense o
attachment, and desire to render itsel
agreeable.

The following singular instance of the eff
fects OF the expansion of water by freezing
is related in the Cincinnati Wing Of the 22d
instant:
The attention of many of our curious and
scientific citizens was yesterday very pleas
lngly arrested, by an occurrence, al the Iron
Foundry OF Messrs. darkness, Voorhees, 6,
Co. in this city, exhibiting specimen of the
extraordinary power OF the expansion of wa
ter by freezing.
An immensely large iron Anvil, weighing
between three and four tons, and measuring
three feet in diameter, had been left lying by
the door of the Furnace, exposed TO the at.
mosphere. The anvil was perfectly solid
with the exception of q very small crack OF
crevice in the centre OF one Of the sides, a.
bout FIVE inches long and about four inches
in depth, which from the rain had become
filled with water. The quantity of water
which the crevice contained could not have
exceeded half gill. In the course of the
night of the twentieth instant, this water be.
came frozen, (and, extraordinary as IT may
APPEAR lis expansion completely severed in
two parts the immense mass of solid iron
and so great was lis expansive power, thai
when the separation took place, a large log
OF wood which lay on the top of the anvil
was thrown to a distance of several feet.
Had the crevice been filled with powder
and the powder igniled, The effect would rot
have been thousandth part as great.

CHAPPED HANDs.-There is not
more common or more troublesome
complaint in the winter season, especial
ly with females, than chapped hands 1t
is rather remarkable, that few individ-
uals seem TO know the true cause Of the
affection. Most people attribute it to the
use Of hard water, and insist upon wash
ing, on all occasions, with rain or brook
water. Now the truth is, that chapped
hands are invariably occasioned by the
injudicious use Of soap; and the soap af-
fects them more in the winter than in
the summer, because in the former sea-
son the hands are not moistened with
perspiration, which counteracts the aka
line effects ofths Soap. There is small
portion of alkali in hard water, but not
so much as there is in soft water with
the addition of soap. The constant use
Of soap in washing, even though the
softest water be used, will cause tender
hands 10 be chapped, unless some mate.
rails be afterwards used TO neutralize IFS
alkaline properties. In summer, the oily
property of the perspirabe moisture an
swers this purpose but in the winter,
very little vinegar or cream will, by
being rubbed on the dried hands, after
the use Of soap, completely neutralize its
alkaline properties, 81 thereby effectually
prevent the chapping of the hand. ANY
other acid or oily substance will answer
the same purpose. There are some We
ry delicate hands which are never chap
ped. This exemption from the com
plaiut ARISES from the greater abundance
Of perspirable matter which annoints
and softens the skin. Dry and cold
hands are most afflicted with the com,
plant. Boston Post.

Our Administration have made = bold
streke OF policy, and in the propriety of
which have fully and cordially concurred
not only from the facts and evidence which
The Executive had received, but from the
arguments adduCed in consequence. On
Saturday night last, Santa Anna & Almonie,
under the charge Of two gentlemen, were
started by land fer the city of w aehingion !;
and the concise grounds Tor adopting this po-
licy are, that Mexico is ia a etate Of rsvolu-
ton. Bustamante will take command Of the
troops against NJ, aad is tbs known and a
vowed enemy Of Santa Anna; the parties of
these two rival chiefs arc bitterly opposed,
and some of the minor ones are looking on
TO side the first convenient moment with the
strongest. II, therefore, Santa Anna shodld
personally appear among them, it would
throw CONSERVATION in the political ranks OF
his enemies, and fix the wavering course of
the doubtful; there will then be two power
full factions, and each will have enough to do
TO attend TO his own concerns, without troub-
ling themselves with us; added to which,
have every confidence that Santa Anna will
keep his faith with us. The moment he
latds in the United States he ceases 10 be a
prisoner; consequently, any treaty he there
may make will be valid. He goes 10 Wash
ington at his own request, in preference TO
directly for Vera Cruz, to pledge
TO General jackson what he has stated here,
TO wit, that he will Immediately recognise
our independence on his being placed in
power.

MAD TAlLoRs.--A work published
in France states that no less than ISL in.
sane tailors were confined in one place
alone and that on an average, there are
1875 mad tailors in every thousand. Me-
dical men have attributed this great pro-
portion of mad caps to the sedentary
position required by those in their pro-
fession. The reason, it is limited, why
Turks are not similarly affected, in con-
sequence of their sitting habits, is that
they keep their heads shared! To save
the wits of SO respectable portion of the
community, therefore they must submit
to the tonsorial operations:
