New York, March 9,
We are waiting, not very patiently,
for the appointment of Collector for
this city. as we take il for granted there
is no intention of retaining Mr.. Morgan;
nor do l think that gentleman expfcls hls
term OF Office will extended beyond the
presen, week. There is a good deal Of
curiosity, TOO. 10 know exactly how the
accounts Of the late Collector with the
Treasury stand, for the correspondence
between Mr.. Woodbury. and Mr.. Hoyi.
lately published, did not explain the
matter in a manner al all satisfactory.
The rumols tina, mentioned some
days ago are still afioai, and are seemingly
well.grounded. A new one is. that The
Naval Officer refuses TO certify Mr.. Hoyrs
accounts for the last quarter to be corrsc.
within she sum Of about one hundred and
I,hir,y.fi five thousand dollars. IL This be
true, there is a section in The sub. Treasury
law that meets the case exactly.
The Legislature of Massachusetts has
adopted resolutions declaring The RICH. Of
The state Of Maine 10 the disputed ter
ri,ory, and that the interests aud honor
Of Massachusetts, demand a speedy adjust
meni Of The question.
Mr.. Brownsen, the Boston Quarterly
Editor, in his lecture here the other

The Di6erence.-When Mr.. Van Blu

prisied $4,000 for furniture for the
Presidents House. in addition TO the sum
derived from the sale OF The old Furniture
which Gsa. Jackson left. Now mark
the difference, The Committee Of Ways
and Means. with majority Of Van Buren,
men. would not recommend one cent to
furnish the House for Gen. Harrison! and
when Wing moved to appropriate $4,000
for that purpose, The motion was only
carried BY 4 voies-66 10 81, nearly oil

10 The invariable custom, sanctioned by
law, 10 sell off the old Furniture al the
end OF every Administration. $4,000 in
addition 10 what The old finery left by
Mr.. Van Buren, will bring. cannot be
considered large sun. when il is con
sidered what an immensely large house
il is, and that the honor of The country il
concerned in having j, decentlv furnished.
Al all even:s a Van Buren, man can have
no right to complain, il Gen. Harrison
furnishes il for less than one third oil
what MIR. Van Buren, expended.

United Stntcs Arsenal,

The buildings intended for the United
States Arsenal, at Little Rock, are pro-
crossing rapidly; the main building, with
an octagonal tower, in which hosting
machine is to be constructed, are nearly
finished, and are splendid specimens of
masonry, equalled by few, cxcelled by
none, that we have seen in the south or
west. The man building now contains
twenty thousand stand of small arms,
with accoutrements complete large
quantity of ammunition is also on hand /;
the field pieces are well secured under
temporary sheds, and every thing evinces
the reign of neatness and order. We
hope the barracks will soon be commenc-
cd and completed, then filled with Uncle
Sans boys, ready, for moments warn
ing, to march to our borders in the event
OF any outbreaks among our red neighbors.

The Dcuth Dealer.

The new and dreadful engine of des-
truction, invented in Great Britain, was
lately tried near London, in presence of
many scientific men. A boat, made solid
with cross timbers and clamped with iron
spikes, 20 feet long and 7 broad, was
placed in a pond, and when the parties
had taken up safe position, was in an
instant struck and shattered into fragments.
The manner in which this tremendous
effect was produced, and which can be
realized at sea, on any scale, was of
course not disclosed. The stronges. fort
ress, and the largest ship could be instant
ly demolished by an enemy, with the aid
OF this new projectilc. The boat weighed
two tons, the timber in her five and half
tons, the water displaced was equal to
fifteen tons, and yet the engine that pro-
duced this destruction only weighed
eighteen pounds, and was so safe, that
when charged it could be kicked about d
room with perfect impunity. - This is
really the age Of invention. 3#
