DAYS in advance Of all other papers. As IT was,
we received il at quarter TO four o'clock, on FRI
day afternoon, which was nearly two hours before
any other paper. This early reception enabled us
10 send duplicate I" Liverpool mail" by the five
o'clock train, TO Philadelphia, and we could have
done the same for Boston and Baltimore, II they
were not so mean a set of driyelers, both editors
and exchange keepers.
At this moment two-thirds of our fleet of eight
everlasting clippers are now at sea- and we have
every expectation Of beating the Wall street papers
once or twice again, before the Liverpool steamer
arrives, now out u days, and not expected before
Saturday or Sunday next.

.Ne,e Orleans, Man 9th. l

.Netc Orleans, May 9TH. lSsO.
We learn by the steamer Vicksburg, Captain
(irice, which arrived last night that the city of
Natchez was visited with dreadful tornado on
Thursday last. At about o'clock, PM, a
black cloud passed over the city from the south
west, accompanied with the roaring of the
winds. The spectacle which followed is repre-
scented as sublime and awful. There seemed to
have taken place conclusion of the winds from
entirely opposite points of the compass. which
dlsmantled the houses of their roofs, and sent
bricks and large pieces of timber through the
air. About go fiat boats lying at the wharf
were set adrift and sunk. The ferry boat plying
between Natchez and the opposite shore was
capsized and all on board supposed to have pc
rished. The steamer Kinds was also capsized
and her crew lost. The steamer Praire had her
cabin taken off and most of her crew lost. The
two hotels in the city, one partly and the other
entirely blown down. $50
The houses under the hill, with the exception
of or 6, were blown down, and the river was
filled with fragments of houses and fiat boats
The streets of the city were rendered impossible
by the ruins of buildings the work of excavat-
ing the bodies from the rubbish had commenced,
and is or 90 bodies had been found before the
Vicksburg left. The tornado followed the course
of the river about 8 miles, tearing the trees on
either side of the river, up by the roots de-
priving them of their branches. In Vidalia the
Court House was levellcd to the earth, and the
parish Judge killed. Such are the particulars
as far as we have heard them.

A VERY CANDID CONFESSION: THE FINE
ARTs.-Wh respect to the Fine Arts, am in state of
rrecoverable blindness. l have caused myself to be
carried round to all the fine pictures and saues and TO
be placed in the full blaze of their beauty; but
ray has pierced the film that covers my eyes. Statues
gives pleasure, pictures very Titles and, when
pleased, it is unfortunately in the wrong place, which
is enough to discourage any from being pleased at
all In fact, believe that, if people in general were
honest am it would be found, that the works of the
great are in reality, much less admired than
they are now supposed to be- Not that am at all scep
ca about their merit, but believe that merit to be of
which it requires study, habit and, perhaps, even
some practical knowledge of the principles of the fine
arts You remember that Sir Joshua tells us, that he
was, first, incapable of tasting all the excellence OF
Raphael and Michael Angelo. And if he, already no
mean artist still unntated in some of the higher
mysteries Of his art and obliged, at first, to take upon
trust much of that which afterwards made clear to
him by further study and labor, what shall we say about
the sincerity of those who, knowing so much less, pre-
tend TO feel so much more? For my part think ofthem
very much as should think of any body who being just
able to pick out the meaning of Latin sentence should
affect TO admire the language and versifcation OF the
Georgics.-L0Td Dudley Letters.

Q VOYAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC IN 4 BABLooNs-A
London correspondent of the NJ Y Signal gives the
following aecountof the project of an attempt to
| the Atlantic.
Mr.. Green still continues sangune of accomplishing an
Rrial voyage the Atlantic and present giving
experiments the POLYTECHNIC Institution in illustration
of his opinions. What he undertakes is, to make the
balloon ascend or descend without dschargng gas
ballast, and in tranquil atmosphere, horizon
tally in any direction This is eertally bold undertake
ing, and you hardly understand his principles with
out seeing the models The shape of the Balloon is cir
cular, TO which is suspended the usual car-te addition
al machinery consists of propeers, rudder and
spindle working in the side of the car-they are similar
to wind mill, but sOped to give them the peculiar turn
of fractional part of screw The rapid revolution of
this effects progressive motion in the direction OF its
axis and of course will increase decrease upon the de-
gree of resistance The principle has been applied
to the propulsions of ships at These propeers will
therefore control the HORIZONTAL OF the balloon,
and if inverted will generate force perpendicular to the
earls surface The guide rope he proposes TO be 1000
feet long attached to a windlass which will be fixed
across the hoop of the This rope be thus
tended whatever length required At the lower end
proof bags the aperres of which kept open
by rings, in such way admit the entrance of the
fud but oppose its RETURN Between these, and like
wise stated distances disposed small floats of ho
low "copper" which will support the rope when the bal
loon depressed AS the balloon descends therefore, by
any cause, the lower part of the rope will be the
face of the sea, tightening the whole machine of its
weight until enough has been disposed of in this way
its further descent If the balloon should ascend
beyond its proper station, the canvass bags filling with
water, will prevent its reaching altitude beyond the
proper medium With such machine Mr.. Green
could construct he has doubt that the proper eleva
ton could thus be maintained three months.
