A NOBLE AcT.-While the schooner Al.

der i six.knot breeze, one Of her passen.
gers was sitting on deck with child in his
arms, whom he was playfuly carcssng-i
was a boy, an only child, whose parents
were passengers on board. ln tacking, the
man and child we're caught in The ropes
and thrown iuo the sea. Their dcsruc-
ton seemed inevitable, and the agony ol the
parents Of The child, who Witnessed the &C.
ceiden', may be imagined. In this emcrgen-
cv, a Downcastcr, by the name ofNewtern,
Of Mystic, also passenger, without caicu'
Ia.ins the risk 10 himself, Immediately
plunged into The sea after them, seized hold
Of the child, and supported him by swm'ns
till the boat could be lowered, and had the
satisfaction of delivering him 10 his dstrts-
scd parents. The man also saved himself
by sriziug hold Of the side Of the vessel.

amidst scenes of carnage. When tIannibul,

fountain of glory. And when bis rival,
Scipo, marched victorious Roman army

gathered a harvest Of glory! Poor crea.

MAGNETIC ENoINE.--The n. Y. New
Era states that there is, in that city an asso-
ciation of few gentlemen under whose d.
rection and by whose aid an engine has been
conducted moved entirely by the power Of
the magnet, capable of doing the work of
TWO men in any of the practical and useful
purposes of'fe, such as the turning oflathes,
and spinning of cotton, silk turning, &c.,
and at an expense believed to be below thai
h'any other power now in use. This en-
gine has only four magnets, the iron OF
which weighs about fifty pounds each.
These four magnets are so arranged, as
when charged. by an ordinary galvanic bat
terry, 20 set in motion large wheel offifty
feet in diameter, weighing 500 pounds, with
power and speed that are perfectly aston
ishng particularly when The simplicity ofthe
arrangement, and the means used to pro-
duce this great result, are contemplated.
The gentlemen had full confidence that the
power of the magnet could be successfully
applied as moving power for mac hlnery to
any degree, and upon any scale, however
large, and the result of their labors, it IS
said, has triumphantly established that i'm
portant fact. The Era thinks this engine
has ,ealzed the prediction of the dstin.
guisheh DIR. Lardner, that the steam engine
itself with the gigantic powers conferred
upon it by the immortal Watt, will dwindle
mo insigniticance, in comparison with
the hidden powers Of nature still to be re-
vcaled.

MISERY OF CHINA.-No literature in the
world teens with SO many maxilns of NOR
ality as that of China. 1t strives to incul-
cate charity and benevolence; but we are
afraid that it has but little influence on the
practice of the people. 1t is not an uncom-
mon sight, walking through the suburbs of
Canton, to SEQ wretches, in the most abject
state of poverty, lying huddled together on
the cold pavement, where they are left to
die, unpitied and unrelieved by the thou
sands that pass by them. Six Of these mis-
cradle objects, more dead than alive, were
lately seen square lying together with 8
others already become corpses, and one OF
the poor wretches were seen to despoil the
dead of their scanty covering to shelter her
from the cold. Yet, though thousands OF
their countrymen behed their misery, not
an arm was stretched forth to give relief,
nor morsal of food was given them to pro-
long their existence. Such sights are any
thing but uncommon in the crowded streets
of Canton.

mere ganlmon. People not unfrequently
loose their baggage while travelling. and
when they make application for redress to
coach, railroad or steamboat proprietors,
are referred to the notice we have quoted,
and think they have no remedy, quietly put
up with their losses. 1t should be general
ly known that, according to repeated decis-
ions of our rcourts, all common carriers are
answerable for the baggage of passengers;
that they are regarded as insurers, and
must answer for any loss, not occasloned
by The act Of God, or The public enemies.

TRIUMPH OF AMERICAN Mechanics
Mr.. Norris, of Philadelphia, says the New
York Star, promises to obtain for himself
and country an enviabie reputation. The
locomotive made by order for the Blrming
ham and Gloucester railroad, England, has
arrived out to its destination, and succeed
ed to admiraton--performiDg the condi-
tions required, VIZ. 20 miles an hour, in
much less than the time. The most fatte-
ring encomlums are expressed Of it in the
English papers. 1t weighs only eight
tons, and drew load ofope hundred and
twenty. Its engine is stated to be of a sim
pc.ty, neatness. and finish of workmanship,
quite surprising any thing of the kind in
England, outstrippng their locomotives in
speed though these last were heavier. The
boiler has also but seventy instead of hun
dred tubes, like the English. The whole
machinery is moie compact: and such is
the mathematical precision, says the Eng
lish account, that the steam joints are con
structed merely blythe co-adaptation of pol
ished metallic surfaces, needing no packing.
The company IN England are so delighted
with this locomotive, named "The Eng
lane" that eight more are ordered. Thus
has the time arrived that our mechanics are
taking position for workmanship, as well
as ingenuity ofinvention. We have thou
sands Of miles more railroad than any
other country, therefore it stands to reason
our locomotives are more perfected. For
the same reason, as nearly allihe steam ma
vgation in England is on the sea, their
steamships surpass ours. But great capi-
talists in our seaports should look to the
above facts in proof of the assertion retera-
ted in the Star, that our mechanics can make
also, if they put out their strength,
steamship, in its model, machinery, etc.
equal, probably, in every respect, to the beau
ideal ofnaval perfection now booming over
the Atlantic to this port--we mean the Bri-
tish Queen.--Cin. Rep.

A correspondent OF the Evening Post un-
dertook to ridicule Governor SEWARD for
going to Staten island on the fourth inst.,
in " line boat" He thought it much more
consistent with Democratic proprietles that
the Governor should have chartered a
steamboat, as the Tammany Committee did
for Mr.. VAN BUREN.
The righteousness" of this affair has
since changed. Governor SEWARD, we pre-
sumo, paid his shilling for his passage-at
any rate, we have not heard of any call that
has been made upon the Sunday School
Committee to defray the expense of it.
A bill of $l00, however, has been sent to
that Committee, to pay the passages of Mr..
VAN BuREN and suit! Tammanyism was
determined that he should go to the island
in royal style--but calls upon the Sunday
School Committee to foot the 5ill.-Cour.

A correspondent ofthe New York Wbg,
in writing from Buenos Ayres, states that
the cost of an OK in that place is about two
silver dollars, and at that rate, fifty thou
sand had heen purchased and killed near
the city for their hides and taIlow. giving
away the beefto those that came for it, or
lenving it to rot. And in market, paper
dollar (seven cents) would buy an arrobe
twenty five pounds) of beef; and all pro-
visions raised in the country were in pro-
portion. The produce of the country was
accumulating in the city, and there was on
hand, 100000 hides, 10000 pipes talow,
10000 horse hides, and large quantity of
other articles for expectation. as soon as the
blockade was raised, of which, however,
there was no prospect.

Information has reached us that a number
of Indians have gone in at Fort King. and
among them, the party who murdered
Brockenberry, near Pcolata, short time
since.
They admitted The murder, and alleged
that they were ignorant of the treaty enter
ed into with Gen. Macomb.
Since then, however, the treaty has re-
ceived another bloody seal. Two men
were killed at place called Fort Cross.
The sixty days allowed for, the Indians to
go south have not expired. 1t is said
number are going south, but it is suspected
it is for the purpose of holding the " green
corn dance which takes place about the first
week in July.
