ToRNADo.--A violent tornado passed in

swept over the house with awful power,
carrying away the whole upper story, and
leaving two Of h , family, who had fled to

than the broad canopy above. The barn
and out-houses on the north were shivered
into ruins, and the fragments scattered two

THE pAGUERREoTYPE.

The secret of NJ. Daguerre's wonderluU M
veation which represents on; paper the exact
picture of any scenery whatever, has been
made public The publication was first made
by the inventor to the Academy Of Sciences.
We copy below the concluding part of an ana.
lysis of his lecture or exposition, which states
the process.
We now come to the great discovery in the
rocess for which NJ. Daugerre has received
| a national reward. 1t is t., the following eff
feet: A copper sheet, plated with silver, well
cleaned with diluted nitric acid is exposed to
| the vapor Of iodine, which forms the first coat.
J ing, which is very thin, as it does not exceed
the millionth part of metre in thickness
There are certain indispensable precautions
necessary to render this coating uniform, the
chief of which is the using of rim OF metal
round the sheet. The sheet, thus prepared,
| is placed in the camera obscura, where 1t IS
allowed to remain from eight to ten minutes
| It is then taken out, but the most experienced
eve can detect no trace of the drawing. The
sheet is now exposed to the vapor of mercury,
and, when it has been heated to temperature
of 60 degrees of Reaumur, or l67 Fahrenheit,
the drawings come forth as if by enchantment.
One singular and hitherto inexplicabIe fact in
this process is, that the sheet when exposed
to the action of the vapor. must be inclined /;
for if it.were placed in direct position over
the vapor the results would b. less satisfacto-
ry. The angle used is 4S grees. The last
part of The process is to place the sheet in the
hyposulphite Of soda, and then to wash it in a
large quantity Of distilled water. The descrip.
ton of the process appeared to excite great in.
.erest in the auditory, amongst whom we OBJ,
served many distinguished persons connected
with science and the fne-arts. 49,.
Unfortunately the locality was not adjusted
suitable for the performance NJ. Dagurre's
experiments, but we understand that arrange
ments will be made for public exhi ibition o
them. Three highly curious drawings, 90.
tanned in this, manner were exhibited-one o
the Pont Marie, another Of NJ. Daugerre's at
elier, and third of room containing some
rich carpeting, all the minutest threads o.
which were represented with the most mathe'
matical accuracy, and with wonderful richness
OF effect.

that he should be lashed fast, and he would de-.

In The case OF the Africans Of the Ami
sad, Judge Thompson has dismissed The
writ of ha6eas corpus, and denied the mo.
ton Tor the liberation of the Africans, upon
which motion they are taken back to jail,
and the case is to be examined in Novem-
Der before The District Court. The Court
then adjourned sine die.
1t is not certain whether the capture took
place within the limits of The state Of New
York or on the high seas. If the former
the district court of Connecticut where ihc
case is now pending has no jurisdiction Of
it; j; must come before tie Distric curt
of New York. If the capture was made
at sea, then, any district court has jurisdc-
tion. Measures have been taken to ascer-
tain whether the poin, at which the capture
took place is within the jurisdiction Of the
Admiralty or common law courts. This
will be done before the sitting of the cour;
in November.

A large amount of American property is
alleged to have been sequestered at Tam
pico under the authority of the Mexican
Government. The following account OF
the circumstances connected with the pro-
ceeding is givenby the Baltimore American,
from the Mobile Journal
"Tampico was, for season, in the full
possession of Mexia and the Federalis,s !;
and the French Admiral, dcsirous to favor
tia, party, excepted Tampico out of the
general blockade of the Mexican ports.
This led to large and valuable shipments
from the United States, especially fr IN the
port of New Orleans. The Mexican Gov
ernment retalialed by decree, dated on
the 9th of January. when they were absout.
ly without power in Tampico or The viz in iy,
by which decree that port was closed
against all commerce coaslwse or foreign.

scouent triumph of the Centralsts, and
The occupation of Tampico by Bustamente'
the Government proceeded to enforce rIgl

ami Of the place to seize on all goods I'M
por,ed after the publication ofthat decree,
and demanded security for all tn t have
been sold, unless the shippers can prove that
they had not been duly Informed Of the de-
cree in question. The value of American
properly in jeopardy is said to be million
of dollars at least, and the Mexican author
tiles have sufficient need of the money to
nuke them very lutte scrupulous in the
grounds Of condemnation. There ls a
great deal of interest felt in this matter in
in New Orleans, where large part of the
property is owned and it is loudly con-
tended that the actual possession Of the port
by the Federalists, with an adequate force
10 keep it 80 long against The power OF the
Government, was sufficient evidence TO
foreigners of their right 10 control its com.
merce and that, accordingly. any attempt
of the Central Government to enforce The
penalities ofdecrees which it was unable to
put into effect when issued, is violation OF
the rights Of American citizens, for which
they call for the interpositon ofour Gov
ernm-n,."
"We suspect" adds the American,
. however, that the better defence for the
endangered property is the fact. sufficiently
well ascertained, that the Mexican decree in
question was never officially notified in this
country and that, in consequence, il will
be in the power Of every American citizen
to show that he never had official knowledge
of its existence"
