out in import duties n large fund Of IL per cent
deposited in Mexico specie, but hardly had he
carried this Government Order out Of one door Of
the Palace when out Of the other door went an Ex-
press TO Vera Cruz annuliing said order.
AS soon the British minister heard Of II he
went personally to the Mexican President, and de-
handed an explanation, but all to no purpose. The
packe, was detained one day, with the hope tina,
the affair might be set 10 rights, but no justice
could lie obtained, nor is there any expectation at
present that the matter will be peaceaby adjusted
Wondgfai Discovery Of Mechanical Poper. The
j New York papers speak Of an immensely impor-
liant application Of magnetic and electromagnetic
power which can be applied with perfect safety 10
the propelling Of STEAMBOATS,. locomotives, or TO
ny branch Of manufacture, requiring power Of an
inexhaustable cbaracter.--Mr Thomas Davenport,
a blacksmith Of Vermont is the inventor, and Pro.
fessors Sillman and Henry both speak in high terms
Of the Improvement and its application. Mr. Da.
vepport has associated with him Mr. Ransom Cool
Of Saratoga. who has suggested many improve
men,s in this surprising invention. The editor o
the New Era, a scieniifc an in these matters, maj

WINGED US Of the truth Of the opinion expressed by
Professors Siiiimsn, Renwck and others, that tn
| power of machinery may be increased from TIN
, source beyond any assgnab,e Limits II Is com
pu,ed by these learned men that a circular galvaB
ic battery abou, three feet in diameter, with mag

least an hundred horse power, and therefore tina
two such batteries be sufficient to propel ships
the larges, class across the Atlantic. Tbh onl
materials required to generate and continue thu
c power for such voyage. would be few thin pie

power is merely nominal. it is perfectly safe al
manageable. There is no possibility of any shoe
or explosion, and the whole machinery might b
