PORTSMOUTH,, Oct 2.-The American frigate 1nde-
pendence, of 62 guns Commodore Nicholson, sailed on
Thursday for Rio de Janero at the same moment the
Pique figate, Of SO guns, Captain Boxer, got under
way to accompany her down the channel II was blow
ing fresh breeze, with smooth water at the time, and
it beautiful to how wonderfully the Piquc cx-
ceed the Independence in sailing and quckness OF
working for when both ships got their anchors to the
bow, the Plque about half mile to the leeward.
but in two short lacks she the wndward Of the
independence, and they got out Of sight the Amcr
can frgate least three miles to leeward. With
regard working the American, it should be observed,
is long heavy ship, but then she has crew Of $40
men; and tho Ugh the Pique is shorter ship, and only
carries SO guns she has the mass and yards Of the old
GA, and compliment Of only $50 men On an average
the Pque always two minutes and half in stays,
while the independence always two minutes longer
Of course owing to this circumstance, in short lacks
she lost ground We have doubt that when these
ships put themselves before the wind the Pque will lose
of her advantage. In working out the lndepen-
dence was obliged to hand her royals, but the Pique
carried on The Pque is ordered to proceed with pro-
visions and stores from Plymouth to Lord John Hays

Dtssipation-the South-The Mobile Ex-
aminer, in noticing the prevalence OF yellow
fever in that city, and the causes which con-
tributed to its increase, gives the following
iudicious advice to those who are wont to
lead the same dissipated life in warm, that
they had in nothern climate. TO the
source here ascribed, we have no doubt may
be attributed the death of many young men,
who seek the South for employment
"None but the physically blind can avoid
the scenes of deep indulgence and general
dissipation which daily accelerate the passage
of some endearing friend to the silence and
decay of an early tomb.-And as a general
evil, we are fully persuaded that the supposed
predisposi,ion of our climate to disease is
incomparably less fearful in its consequences
than are those misspent hours and intermina-
bic carousals which form striking feature Of
almost every southern community.
"The natural warmth and buoyancy of our
air, awakens congenial feelings in those who
respire it; and as if life had let loose all her
sweets at once, the incautious victim of his
own imprudence, often lets fall and breaks the
golden bowl, while endeavoring to drain its
honyed contents at a draught. And thus it Is
that the evils resulting from wrong use, OF
rather abuse, of Heavens richest blessings
are but too frequently alleged to the imper.
lection of those blessings themselves-as il
Heaven had intermingled her best gifts with
poison"

body. About a pound Of atmosphere being
exhausted, took off ton of atmospheric
pressure The consequence was, where the
body was before cold and collapsed, the
vessels were Immediately filed up and rem
dered turgid, while il did not at all interfere
with the process of respiration.
He exhibited another application Of the
same continuance of a long tin tube made
air tight and with a piece of wet bladder
round one end, which was open: at the other
end, which was closed up, small exhaust
ing air-pump was placed. a patient with a
paralyiic wrist put up his arm into this, the
wet bladder was frightened around his arm ut
the top TO make it air tight, and the atmos-
phere was then pumped out OF the tube by
the patient himself or any other person The
atmospheric pressure being taken off, the
limb became turgid, the circulation was In
creased, and the part affected was soon cured.
There was another adaptation of the same
| contrivance TO draw of the effect of conges-
| ton of the brain. There was another appli-
cation to stop hnmorrhage in an injured hand,
limb, or other extremity. An exhausting
pump was fixed to the end of bladder, the
| limb put into the bladder, and the neck then
tied round to make il air-tight The air was
then completely exhausted by means Of the
pump, which compressed the bladder so close
to the skin as effectually to stop even the
pores Of the skin. The same continuance of
bladder and exhansting pump was also APP
| piled for the cure Of liberated legs, by pre-
venting the evaporation of the ulcers, by
cxhalsting the air, and making the collapsed
bladder adhere tightly all round. There
were several other ingenious contrivances
and APPLICATIONS Of the same invention, the
exhibition Of which, and the inventors happy
humor, elected loud applause
A vote of thanks was given to Sir James
Murray for the very valuable instruction which
he had conveyed.-N. Y. Star.

Berkshire Cattle Show and Fdir.-The
twenty-seventh anniversary of the Berkshire
ms, cattle show and fair, has recently been
celebrated with the accustomed spirit of
Pinsfeld The anniversary address was pro-
nounced by the Hon. Jesse Buel Of Albany
The Pitts6eld papers remark Of this address,
that it deserved the profound and unwearied
attention with which it was heard by the
audience. 1t was full Of the practical fruits
of his large experience, and will soon be
published. What contributed most to the
interest Of the occasion, however, was the
presence of the venerable Elkanah Watson,
the founder Of the society. Mr. Watson re-
sides at Port Kent, on the Western shore Of
Lake Champain. His head has been tinged
with the frosts Of eighty winters; but he
nevertheless performed the journey to Pitts
field expressly to attend the anniversary /;
and the part heTtook gave great satisfaction.
