There has been lately been discovered in
England mode OF warming an apartment by
placing in the midst of it a portable vase,
which emi,s neither fame nor smoke, and
which vii! raise the temperature of the air in
room of any dimensions to the degree requi.
red.
Inc vase is called the Portable Warming
Apparatus. You may, says an English Jour
naI set II Oh a table or take it in carriage,
and it will warm a public BAL, or i pew in a
church. What the invention consists of is net
yet known; nor will it be made public till pa
tents are secured for other parts of the world
besides England. 1t is some chemical com.
bina,on producing combustion without flame,
and generating heat that radiates with such We
loci'y as to VAIN every part Of the surround
ing atmosphere almost simultaneously, with
out raising the temperature Of the metal con-
tanning it to such a degree as to scorch any
thing coming in contact. It's consumption Of
the oxygen ofthe air is said to be so small that
vase sufficient 10 warm a large room does
not consume more than rnshii.h, would, and
its expense is almost as trivial. beng only
three pence sterling for twenty-four hours. A
carriage or closet might be warmed for fifteen
hours at The rate OF one penny. This dlscove-
ny, it is said, was accidentally made by mar
Ike, gardner while opening a hot bed.
Such is the account which is given Of this
wonderful invention. The London Spectator
falls into pleasant speculation on the chang
cs which it will effect in tho world. The "Eng-
lshman's iresidc." Of which there is so much
talk, will he abolished; stoves will be seen
only in kitchens, for this new hea, will not
answer for culinary purposes; the iron mong-
ers will vcnd no more paror CRATES; the cano
py of smoke will be lifted from London; the
chimney will be levelled to the roofs; London
will breathe new atmosphere and wear a
new aspect; the occupation of The sweeps will
be gone, except when they are called to sweep
the kitchen ilue, and The alarms which many
have felt lest the supply Of Goals should fail,
will be quieled forever.---IN. y. Ev. Post.

Next TO our true and long tried friends, we
admire free, open, frank and undisguised en-
emes' basng their opposition upon principle
or interest, as the case may beat the same
time utterly detesting the enemy who aims to
hide his sting in the garb of friendship. tina,
no suspicion Of an intended injury may be
cast upon them. The last mentioned charac.
tiers, we are sorry to say, are to be found in
our brethren Of the Territorial Gazette, and the
Fort Madison Patriot, both Of which seize up.
on an articlein our paper Of the 3lst March,
In which we said ''the prospects of our town
were frightening since the opening offspring"
-.-that $50 soon as lumber canb be brought do:yn
the river, building will commence" and al
though disclaiming any jealous feelings TO-
wards Dn Buque, sheer al our place for being
late in commencing building.
Had they taken the pains to look at the date
of the paper, they would have perceived that
the river opened at an earlier day than usual,
and common sense should teach them tina,
lumber canno, be RATED from places above MS
on the river 80 soon as the river opens here.
The Patriot commends our citizens for patience,
and hopes their houses will be enclosed some
time before next Christmas The editor saws
the citizens Of Fort Madison have no, the ma.
thence of our citizens, for they "Charter steam
boats TO bring them pine lumber from Pitts.
,,,y;rh and s., Louis" How enterprsine!
Charter steamboat! and send it TO PITTSBURGH
for lumber, after the opening of navigation,
and then sheer at US for not having it immedi-
ately after the breaking up of the ice!
Nothing in our remarks was calculated to
give the impression that i. would be late in the
season before lumber was obtained. 1t has
generally been brought down the Mississippi
early in the spring, but this season we expec.
it down tho Wisconsin,, new trade altogether,
---but as mills were not commenced until in
the winter, we did not feel justified in saying
we would derive any benef, from them until
fall. The people of Fort Madison are vel.
come to all the lumber they wish from Pitts
burgh, but we can get plenty oft from the for
ests in our own Territory.

From the same.

Nowhere in this country has speculation
pursued a madder career than in the State
of Mississippi and nowhere have its fatal
consequences been more severely felt. Re-
dundant issues of bank paper, prices rising
with an unnatural rapidity, vnst purchases
made on credit 20 take advantage of this
rise, premature and gigantic enterprises,
are now producing their inevitable effect.
The banks furnished the dice and counters,
and the community fell to gambling with
fearful eagerness. Now the game is over,
and the moment Of reckoning is come, the
hour of bitter dlsappointments and fierce
recriminations Of course numbers of the
losers are unwilling to imputo the conse.
quences to their own folly. They have
therefore adopted the hint given them by
the leaders Of the whig party, to throw the
blame on tho administration. This may
account for the success of Prentiss and
Word, the candidates proposed by the
wings for the post Of Representatives in
Congress, if, as we suppose, they have in
fact succeeded. We take from the Wash
ington Globe of Saturday, a deplorabe
picture of the present state of things in
Mississippi.
Extract from a letter to a Member of Congress
from friend in Mississippi
The time are truly alarming here Many
plantations are entirely stripped of negroes and
lorses BY the marshal or sheriff; and to add to |
'ur other difficulties our bank paper is getting |
worse and worse every day. We cannot get plan !

CopREcTIoN.-The paragraph which We
copied from the Boston Advertiser and Pat.

a tardy acknowledgment Of the expediency
and wisdom displayed by Gen. Jackson, in
issuing the " Specie Circular" was not, i,
appears, The sentiments oft editor of that
paper, but was part of communicated ar
ticle. The paragraph in question was no,
noticed by us in that paper, but was brought
to US by friend, cut out, and from its
phraseology we were led into the error of
thinking it edtorial--a doubt Of which new
or occurred to US.
Having made this correction, a.reeably
to his request, we must be allowed to ex-
press our regret that the editor of that Jour
nal thinks it necessary to deny, by imp!ica-
ton, that the sentiments expressed by his
correspondent are correct We thought the,
the wisdom Of that measure had been 30
fully tested aud generally acknowledged
that no one noU wonld venture denial of
it, but it appears we were mistaken, and
that it is still "a controverted point"

The MoseHe.-A letter from Cincinnati
to gentleman of this city, gives in ehec,
the following statement Of the cause Of the
explosion on board the Moselle. The Ben
Franklin steamboat, celebrated for speed,
had started just before her. The Captain
Of the Mosclle being anxious to pass the
the Franklin, gave orders that no steam
should be let of while lying too. The en-
gineers demonstrated, but in vain. One of
them opened the furnace doors to diminish
the heat, at which the cap,nin became very
angry, and had them closed. The cngi-
neer seeing this, and anticipating the re-
suit, stepped on board raft which lay
and the moment after the
Moselle put of, the correctness Of his judg-
ment was verified by the awful catastrophe.
The engineer, who was morally, wounded,
is said 10 have made this sistemedf just be-
fore his death PsnssyirGnias.
