The Philadelphia Enquirer remarks that the
great iron steamer now being built at Bristol Eng,
will no doubt, when completed, be regarded one
the most extraordinary mechanical wonders in the
world. She will carry Eve mas,s, and her Tonnage
will reach the enorormous extent Of $500. Her
length on deck is 324 feet. She will have four en-.
gnes of 800 horses power each, and she is expected
to be completed by the lst of May next She is
designed in the first place, for the Archimedes
screw but should that fail, she is so constructed
that paddlers may readily be resored to. Her hull
is divided into compartments, SO that if one should
become injured the accident would not a(lec, the
safety Of the vessel Her workmanship lhr oughoui
is described os of the very highest style of art
She will DO filled with water before she is launched
and thus her tightness tested. The iron (al

will cost something Hike $500 600, and, as is sup

One Of the whig papers at Lancaster claims
majority for Judge BANKS of ls or 10000; one
of the Harrisburg papers estimates it at 5000.
The Harrisburg InteMgencer has an earnest sp-
peal to the whis voters 10 turn out, that "one pote
may turn the SCALE" that "JoHS BASKs might lose
his election by one vote" The bible pedtarc," +"
10 use the language of some Of the whg papers, and
"the drOrers," who Traverse every section of the
stale, tell different tale. They Say, that Judge
BASKs does no, stand the slightest chance Of being
elected and that Governor PoarEa will have a
large majority. The distracted state of the whis
party, and the despute, among the friends of CLAY
and Scorr, about the succession, add strength to
the opinion of the "Bib pedars' and the drOrers."

MCLEOD.

From the correspondence of the New York Jour.
nal Of Commerce, in relation to the proceedings Ia.
stituted against this individual, we learn that his
trial will, most probably, not take place until the
ensuing week. His counsel anticipate his full ac-
quital. Great exertions arc making to have him
found guilty. No excitement or improper feelings
exist in or near Utica. The majority of the peo.
pie there think he ought TO DO acquitted, and expect
it, as a matter Of course. There are no U States
troops at Utica, although there is detachment
within few hours journey from that place, a,
Rome, whittier they were sent TO protect the u. 8.
arsenal, without reference to the trial Of Mcleod.
From the correspondence Of the Albany Argus,
we learn that the dcpositons of several witnesses
on the part of Mcleod, have been taken.
The witnesses examined were Thomas Hecter
Of Toronto, person Of whom nothing very favora.
bic is known; Sir Allen McNab, who is, perhaps,
der, whose home is any where he is permitted to
stop; and Angus Mcleod, a brother of Alexander
Mcleod, who boasts ",hst he helped at the des-
tructon of the pirate Caroline"
Joseph Center, Esq, appeared as counsel for the
State of New York, aud Hiram Gardner, Esq, as
counsel for Mcleod. The commission taken
on the part of Mcleod, and il is understood here
that the government of this province pays the eI
penses OF it's execution.
1t is not generally known what is the precise a.
mount of The deposi,ions taken busits represented
that the deposition Of McNab goes to prove that he
ordered the expedition which destroyed the Caro-.
line, and that he scted the agent of the govern
ment, of which he had the approval.
The deposilions of Hector and Harris, il is sta.
ted, 60 to prove that Mcleod was OF another place,
at the time the steamer was destroyed at Schlos-
ser-and thus it is intended 10 establish on abb.
But these witnesses are liable to be impeached.
Angn Mcleod deposes. | understand, .ha, he
was with the party that committed the act Of which
his brother was not. Bat it remains to be how
far with what allowance, hi. testimony will be
received.

two miles north Of the village. !, appeared

entered horizontally into tho rock, there was
however, small opening above, 10y which
they could .ook down into Mr.. Cats hab,a-

discovered that the animal was there, and re-

They soon made him present oftwo or three
bullets which passed through his hind quar-

when it was evident he was wounded, and
then reireated to his den, which was then
more closely surrounded. Some OF the party
repaired TO the hole above the den and by
looking down could see him uaversing his
apartment, from end to end; and when a rifle
was discharged at him through the aperture
over him, he would return hideous growl.
Mr. w. p. Benson, II is supposed made the
most fatal shot, still 1t was answered with a
growl. After the smoke Of the powder had
passed away, Mr. VIM Cowes of the village,
! discharged his rifle and no growl was returned.
/ Mr. Cowee decended the aperture, which was
scarcely large enough 10 let in his body, and
which was eight feet deep. lie says when he
got down he could see MS head, and perceiv-
