LIME subscribers have purchased the Pa.
u tent right of Wilson's Spiral Vent Watsr
Wheel, for Des Moines, Henry, WashinutSn
and Jefferson counties; also, Fractional Town
o5 north, r. w, in Lee county. and are now
prepared to build, construct and put in opera
ton the said spiral vent wheel, or will dispose
OF the said wheel, either for single wheels
| dams, townships, counties or otherwise for the
Agents to dispose Of the right in Iowa Terri
tory. We have now in operation one of the
above wheels. Persons interested in water
privileges would do well to call and see.
The advantages of the SPIRAL VENT
|tWATER-WHEEL over other Wheels are as
follows, viz:
LIST Because the original expense Of building
the wheels is comparatively small, and its sim.
pie construction and the durability of the ma.
teriais OF which it is constructed, renders it
less expensive than other wheels to keep in re-.
pair,
"a, Because greater power is obtained from
this wheel, with less quantity or volume of
water upon it, than from any Of the wheels Of
different construction.
I'd. Because the speed of the wheel is such,
when favorably situated, that in many cases,
gearing, for tho purpose Of getting up speed,
may be entirely omitted.
4th, Because tee SpiEaa Vent Wheel operates
freely in food or back water, which renders it
an invaluable improvement in level country,
or on fiat streams, where only small head or
flow of water can be obtained, and is what no
other wheel has ever been able, so efectually
to accomplish.
COMFORT. & DAVIS,

RouT OF THE SPOILERS IN THEIR
DEN.-rhe Wings Of Washington city
are rejoicing at their victory over the
combined forces of the Federal Office
holders in their, recent ,charte, election.
There was Mayor, six Aldermen, and
eighteen Common Councilrnen to be elect
ed, and the Wings made aclean sweep
of every thing but two members of the
Council. w. W. Seaton. one Of the edi-
tors Of the National Intelligencer, was
elected Mayor, by vote Of more than
two TO one. Mr. Rives, one Of the edi-
tors of the Globe, was candidate for
Alderman, and was beaten 81 majority
in his Ward on vote of 234, nearly
two to one. The administration made
every exertion TO stay the popular cur
rent but to no purpose. This result
places the strongest possible mark Of
condemnation on the administrators ofthe
government. Where they are best
known, and their acts best understood,
the People reject them most decisively.

THE CAPTURE OF SIDON.

"The smartest affair is yet to be told you.
Charles Napier, On Friday, the 25,h, talking
with the Admiral, remarked that Sidon was
not in our possession, and said to him, If you
like will go down and take it, and be back
again in As hours He started and was as
good as his word. He had the Thunderer,
Wasp, Cyclops, Gorgoo, and Hydra, with 800
Turks, and 500 marines; on their way he fell
in with the Snomboli, from England, with de-
tachment of 200 marnes-these he took with
him, and, after firing shot and shell at the
town for couple Of hours, he made breach
and landed at the head of his men; it was a
sharp struggle, but after destroying great num-
Der OF the enemy, who neither gave nor would
receive quarter they at last killed the Egyp-
tian commander, who died game; with two
marines bayonets at his breast he refused
quarter, and resisted, so they fred, and he, OF
course, died, when his troops threw down
their arms, to the amount of 5OO 1900 were
afterwards taken, and the whole 1000 have
been brought round to the fleet at Juni. be-
lieve they will be sent to Cyprus. Napier
was most daring. On the tops of the houses
he made his way, waving his hat on the point
of his sword and cheering his men on; our
less amounted, to Is marines killed and wound
ed, mates badly wounded. Motley and Shears
of the Wasp and a mate ofthe Revenge, with
s seamen, since died, and of the Thun-
derer's launchers killed. A marine officer,
who had only that morning arrived in the
Stromboli, was killed in the brelch. His
name is Hockin; and he had been serving or
the coast of Spain, and hear another was
wounded. The Egyptians have returned
from Tripoli, and we hold every place from
there 10 Acre except Boyrout, the fortiica

DEATH OF PROFESSOR DAVIS.

The Richmond Wing of Tuesday last an
nounces the melancholy act of the death of
this esteemed gentlemen, the able and accom-.
plshed Professor of Law of the University OF
Virginia. The Wing says-He died on Sat
urday morning last from wound inflicted by
pistol shot on the Thursday night previous.
The Wing gives the following account of the
circumstances that led to this melancholy Ca
tastrophe.
Thursday night was the anniversary Of ri
OF which occurred few years since at the
College, and which has been regularly OBJ
served by some act of disobedience to the Col.
lege regulations, among those who cherish
the recollections of the scene, or who sympa.
thize in the factious spirit of the rioters. A
bout o'clock there was much disorder in the
lawn, and especial indigni,y was offered the
Professor by noises near his door; he wen
out to suppress the disturbances, and came uE
to or 3 individuals who were masked. He
reached forward TO raise the mask of one o
them, when he retreated, and the Professor
following him up received from him pisto
shot which took effect-fatal it has turned GU
TO be; but at the time it was not considered
mortal. The ball entered Just below the ma
val and is said to have passed around the alb
domen down to the feshy part OF the thigh
whence it was extracted. The Professor lin
gered in great agony until Saturday mornin.
about 8 O'Clock, when he was relieved b,
death. The tragic event has robbed societ
Of an ornament, and our principle literary in
stitution Of profound scholar and jurist, VIII,
has done much to raise it to its present eleva
ted position.
The Wing states that two students hav
been arrested and were examined Saturday
and the examination was 10 have been continu

spoke to the New York Lyceum an hour and
half Wednesday evening, from a written
address, principally upon Society, its history,
progress, and purposee. A great crowd
immense indeed, considering the greatinclem-
ency Of the weather, were present, who lis
tened throughout, unwesried even by the dry
ness Of the subject, and the feebleness Of the
Speaker. not intellectual feebleness, far from
il even, but the physical feebleness Of voice
and manner, the natural results Of body that
time affects, while the mind is as strong as
ever, and more richly endowed Of course.

siasm, and his appearance drew forth bursts
Of applause. Al first il was quite difficult, u

A Difficult Ente,prise.-Mr. Benjamin Mar
shall, Of this city, has been engaged for some
weeks, in tunneling the hill back of Mount
Ida, for the purpose Of bringing supply of
water through it, from the Poestenkill to a
new cotton manufactury which he is about
erecting on the west side Of the hill The
tunnel, thus far, has been made through the
solid rock, and gangs Of workmen have
been employed day and night since the first
commencement of the work. The diameter
of the tunnel is about feet, and its length
will not be far from 400 yards. 1t is well
worth visiting by the curious, and Mr.. Mar
shall's enterprise in thus endeavoring to in
crease the manufacturing facilities Of our city
is worthy of all praise. II at any future time,
a farther supply of water should be needed
for the city water works, than that which is at
present afforded, we know OF no better sour ce
from which it could be drawn, than from the
Proestenkill by the means of the tunnel now
constructing In such an event, our public
fountains might be increased in number, and
allowed to play even in the driest season.
