Strength Of The Sword Fish.

The bnrque Royal Archer arrived al
Maryporr, Eug laud, few weeks since
from Africa, and on the passage was
pierced beneath the starboard bow by
an enormous sword fish, which animal
left considerable portion Of his sword
IN The bottom of the vessel. She was
hauled up for repairs, aud The following
particulars were asceitained
CATER some time had been spent il,
cutting out the plank that had been
pierced, It was eventually removed,
along with the sword, when il was as
cerlaiued that the monster had left about
sixteen inches of that formidable weapon
siicking IN the timber of the ship, inde-
pendent of about three inches and a hall
which projected from the outside of the
vessel, but had by some means or other
been broken off 80 that altogether the
fierce assailant of the vessel had los,
about nineteen inches and half of its
weapon in this attack on the ROYAL Ar
cher, which It had, no doubt, mistaken
for Il whale, or some other large fSh
with which it had determined To wage
war. On examination u wasascertaned d
that the sword had penetrated through
two shea,hngs of copper, through al
oak plank three and half inches thick
and striking against one of the timbers,
which was also oak, and eight inches
thick, penetrated i: to the depth Of two
inches at which point it spln) and pas
sing onwards finally perforated the cell
ing, consisting of plank above two in
rhes thick, the end protruding nearly an
inch into the hold of the vessel Had
not this singular circumstances been wit
messed, il might have been considered
utterly impossible for any marine mon.
ster, however bulky or rapid might be
its motions IN It's native element, to drive
its weapon with such force as must have
been required to pierce the copper ,planl,
and timber in the manner we have de-
scribed. Indeed, il was allowed by
those who beheld The operation, that no
ball discharged from a gun, at ever so
small a distance, would have pierced
the vessel to the same extent as this fish
had done by single stoke The
weapon consisted of bone, and was Of an
oval form, being two inc across on the
upper and low er side, and about one inch
and half thick, making the c,rcumfrr-
ence about seven inches The weapon
tapered gradually towards its extremity,
but was not particularly sharp at the
point"

a quarter Of IA pound of sugar, and eat

STREET OUTRAGE.-Last night a
most daring robbery was perpetrated by
three men at the corner Of Broadway
and Fulton street, on the person Of Mr..
Andrew H. Powell, as that gentleman
was proceeding to his home, No. 4l9
Broadway. The gang stopped MIR. p.
by asking him to light a cigar, which
having done, ons of them said-"before
we leave you, will you tell US what o.
clock it is ?" On which Mr.. p. drew
out his watch, and one ruffian instantly
knocked him down with heavy blow on
the head, and another seized the watch,
broke the guard, and made off with their
booty, which is valued at $l5O.
When Mr.. p. recovered from the ef-
fects of the blow he went into Fulton-st.
and aroused friend Of his-Dr. Faw-
ceu, who resides at No. 1856 Fulton
and whilst relating the affair 10 the Doc
tor, one of the gang wns detected lurking
about on the opposite side OF the street,
and on Mr.. Powell mentioning the cir
cumstance, C John McOran, the Doctors
serving man, boiled on to the other side
and seized the fellow, when n desperate
fight ensued. The Doctor and Mr.. p.

ANOTHER ROARBACK.

The Register and other coon prints have been
boasting that the election of Dr. Anson Jones as
President of Texas was an expression on the part
of the people Of Texas against annexation. There
is no foundation for the assertion that Dr. Jones is
hostile to annexation. On the contrary, he desires
to see Texas member of the American Union
So does Gen. Houston, his friend in the late con-
test for the Presidency. But here is an extract
from letter written by DR.. Jones himself, taken
from the Texas Times, which will settle the whole
matter:
"Were Eto make tour through the country, I
should either be compelled to neglect my, official
matters or to resign. The latter would indeed, be
verv easy; but the present crisis of our negoia-
tons it would, perhaps, look Like desertion Of my

it. The charge that an, 'fnimicaI to further

the Wing candidate for Governor is elected by a
triumphant majority" whcn it is notorious that
Wing papers Qbe Charleston Courier among
them, which we believe the Register takes) re-
ccived here on Thursday gave up the State to the

Drew, the regularly nominated democratic candi-
date for Governor, is elected over both his com.
petitors "a regular Coon and an independent
democrat) by majority of from l 500 to 1000,
and that Gov. YelIs majority for Congress will
probably reach 5000! The parties in the ensu-
ing Legislature of Arkansas will stand nearly as
follows: Senate, nineteen democrats and 5 Coons;
House of Representatives, 68 democrats and
Coons. Majority on joint ballot Isl This, then.

Wig Mass Meeting iae Newbern.
MR. HOLDEN: II was my good fortune and my
satisfaction to be present at the late Whig Mass
Meeting in Newbern, on the 22d instant ! say
satisfaction because it is always pleasure to see
the opponents of democracy render themselves ri
ciculous after their own fashion. If the wings of
Newbern and elsewhere are not sick Of their mass
meeting, they must have stomachs strong enough
TO discuss the virtue " Of something alttle worse
than rotten beef. The fact is, their display was a
complete failure; every whig in the town feels
and knows it and it is all stuff and nonsense for
the "Newbern to attempt TO plaster over such
miserable affair. That paper gives the number
present, in the following words "At II o'cloek-a
very respectable cro0d had convened, numbering
perhaps 1900 or 1000 persons" What does the
Editor mean by using the word cro1cd? Does he
wish to include the women brought out on the oc-
casion for eFect2 Does he include the negroes
and boys, perhaps the most numerous portion of
the croard? If he does not include women who
ought TO have been home nursing their children,
boys who ought to have been at school, and ne
groes who ought to have been at work, then be has
overrated the number by 1000 or 1900; for there
could not have been present more than 500 wings
