songs, and was well received The duets between
Mrs Sutton and the Signor were eminenty success

was repeated with the greatest applause Signor
Martini made successful deba-his voice is rich

The SoMERs CAsE-SrRANeK FACTS COMING OUT
BOYS BAGGEp AS GRousE.-A most singular deve-
lopment was made in reference to the conduct Of
Commander Mckenzie, before the Recorder, yes
ter, writ of habeas corpus. 1t will be found in
another column.
On the home voyage of this celebrated craft, from
st. Thomas to New York, it appears in evidence,
that Commander Mckenzie double-ironed several
,iarai apprentices and had them tied up besides,
bags sacks, as'you would shot grouse. Is this
specimen either of naval discipline, or of the human.
~ of the Commander The astonshment of the
court and audience was unparalleled No wonder
that it was so. We beg for heavens sake, that the
Court Martial will hasten to acquit Captain NcKen-
ze-approve his conduct-and let him have chance
OF safety and peace, before il is too late. More
facts of this kind will raise storm that cannot be
allayed by the theory of Professor Espy-and may
perchance hasten the Millennium before the 2lst of
March, the day set down by Prophet Miller.
The LIsPENARD CAsE.-The summing up In this
great and exciting case, will commence this morn
ing, at 10 o'clock. The speeches will proceed in
the following order The Hon. Willis Hall will
commence on the part of the defence. He will be
followed by Mr. Charles O'Connor for the plaintiffs
Then Mr.. David B. Ogden on the opposite side and
the concluding speech by Mr.. George Wood for the
plaintiffs
These gentlemen probably not surpassed in L.

call forth some of the finest specimens OF forensic
eloquence that have ever been given in this coun-

Of the recent outrage upon his sovereignty by the Br

ricate ourselves with honor and justice, compelled

chiefs, signed, with a heavy heart and many tears,
the deed Of provisional cession, and have permitted
the British flag 10 be planted in all our islands, but

Relying on the magnaDimy and irmness Of the
Usiled States appeal TO the President TO 0erpose
the high influence of the United States with the
Court Of England, TO grant us an impartial hearing,
and procure US justice, to induce H. b M. to with
draw from the sovereignty of these islands, and leave
us as we have been, an independent Government
supported In our rights.

THE GRAPPLER.
y ours, truly,

We have already alluded TO this extraordinary
steamer, whose machinery is so ingenousy consruc-
ted, J plan contrived by NJ. Verpilleux, as to
neutralize at small cost the resistance opposed by
strong current 10 the ascent of rivers. Its success
has commended il 10 public favor in France, that
il ds stined if become in oil respects the
model Of boats to be hereafter constructed for the
conveyance Of heavy freights up rapid streams, at

that propels them.
This boat is employed on the Rhone, in transport
ing iron ore from Giyors 10 La Voulte Its dmen-
sions must be considerable IS it is said TO displace
upw ards of four hundred tons in weight Of water
II resembles, in most particulars the other Rhone
sides, and moved by steam. They are not used how
ever, except occasions when the grapple can
not reach the bottom of the river.
The peculiar mechanism invented 10y NJ. Verpil-
leux consists Of huge wheel, nearly twenty two
feet in diameter, garnished with teeth and fixed TO
the extremity of lever. This wheel is put in mo-
ton by series of cog wheels. The lever TO which
II IS attached is capable of describing arc Of many
degrees, and thus raises or dcpresses this wheel
which II supports, accordingly The bed of the river
to which ITS teeth fasten in the effort Of traction is
more or less deep. This apparatus is placed for
ward, and occupies space left clear in the framing
Of the boat
The teeth of this wheel can reach to a depth of
tweniy-six leet and there grapple effectively. But
should the river be deeper, which in the Rhone is
very rare, they put in motion the wheels attached to
the hapks, and proceed like ordinary steamboat
This movable Wheel which rises and falls accord
ing to the depth of the Rhone is generally above the
level of the deck, and thus indicates with perfect
precision the stage OF water in the ryer.-Jonai Of
