GREAT IMPROVEMENT in the mode Of using the
Magnetic Ielegraph.-We understand that DIR.
PAGE, of the Patent Office, on Wednesday applied
one Of his recently constructed magneto-electric
machines to furnish the electricity to Professor
MoRsE's Telegraph, instead Of the great galvanic
battery hitherto employed for that purpose. That
battery is not only troublesome and expensive but
its management requires exposure to the fumes Of
acids and other chemical substances which cannot but
prove prejudicial to health. The magneto-electric
machine, being entirely mechanical in its construc-
ton, avoids all these inconvenience.
We learn that on the occasion in question, while
DIR. PAGE operated his machine in the Patent Office
Professor MORSE, at the City Post Office, operated
by its aid the Telegraph between this city and Bal
timorc, and performed all the usual functions of his
machine through distance Of eighty miles.
We look upon this as vast improvement on the
woodworking invention which has of late so
much astonshed and delighted our citizens.

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.


FROM THE LOUISVILLE JOURNAL on FRIDAY.
We are again called on to record a most melan-
choy occurrence the Mississippi river, by which
more than thirty HUes ,0ere lost.
About IL O'Clock on Saturday night the l4th in
slant, as the Belle Of ClarksvilIe, from New Or
leans Tor Nashville, rounding the bar below the
Horseshoe Cutoff, she came in collision with the
Louisiana, from Memphis on her way to New Or
leans. The Belle of GAINESVILLE did not obey her
helm, but sheered off, by which she came directly
across the. bow of the Louisiana The engines Of
both boats were Immediately stopped, but not in
time to'.prevent collision. The Belle of Clarks-
vile entirely demolished the hull parting from
the cabin and the cabin breaking into two pieces.
The hull instantly went down, and the cabin aoated
to Old Town landing, about twenty-five miles below
Helena.
The Louisiana took from the fragments all the
persons on them. AS far as can be ascertained
thirty-one lives were lost. Below we give list Of
them. They were nearly all residents Of West
Tennessee.

FROM MEXICO.

We find in the New York Sun the subjoined in

manestoes of the Revolutionary General to be printed The
Supreme Government had issued orders to General SANTA
ANNA, then at his place Mango de Cva, forthwith t.
unite in his command the troops in the district of Jalapa
which amounted upwards of 1000 men, and proceed
against PAnEDEs and his comrades Accordingly as we al
ready know, SANTA ANNA issued his proclamation put him
self at the head of 1000 infantry, 1900 cavalry and twenty
field pieces and the 23d he left Mexico and marched
wards Queetaro with General REYES which point the
troops followed him. About this time the Mexican Congress
passed resolution censurng the Minister War for having
issued orders SANTA ANNA take command Of the army
of the Republic when the Constitution prohibited the Su-
preme Executive from acting in that capacity. The reply Of
the Secretary having been deemed satisfactory they de-
cded that General SANTA ANNA had been assigned
mand the troops of district and placed the head
Of the army. II therefore deemed necessary that the
Minister should forthwith suspend the command Of SANTA
ANNA Meanwhile, General BAssADRE has been appointed
TO take his place. How SANTA ANNA will relish order
which places him under the command of Junior officer

MASSACHUSETTS SPECIAL ELECTION.


We learn from the Boston Atlas that the Wings
of Old Massachusetts obtained another signal triumph
on Monday last, when called upon to choose Re-
presentatves in the next Congress for the four dis
tricts of that State which failed to effect choice at
the general election in November.
Returns from all the towns but three, in the Sc
cond district re-elect DANIEL p. KING, the present
able Wing Representative, by an Overwhelming ma
iority-something like thirteen hundred votes.
In the fourth district, Mr.. PARMENTER, the pre-
sent Democratic incumbent, is defeated, and BENJA
MIN THOMPSON, stanch and true Wing, is elected
to supply his place by majority exceeding three
hundred votes.
In the fifth district returns have been received
from number of towns, which leaya. no doubt a
the reelection of CHARLES HUDsoN, the present able
and faithful Representative from that district.
In the ninth district there is no choice. Mr.
WILLIAMS DemocraD is again defeated, and the
Wings will try hard to elect Mr.. HALE at the next
trial.
The result of the elections in these Congressional
districts is highly encouraging Ii shows that not
withstanding the unfortunate result of the late Pre-
sidental election, Wing Principles do and will pre-
vail in Old Massachusetts,. In the next Congress
she will have nine certainly, and perhaps un-
broken phalanx of ten Representatives, who will
advocate boldly and eloquently true Republican

FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

A letter of July 10Th, from Honolulu, mentions
the arrival of the English frgate Thalia, Capt. Hope
and the United States ship Warren, Commander
Hull, both vessels from Tahita. The Thalia, and
the English war steamer Salamander, had been
cruising off the harbor of Papeite ahit) ten days,
being refused entrance, except condition of
luting the French flar~on the island, which they
would not consent to- as their Government had not,
YET, recognised the possession of the island by
the French.
Tire presence Of the English vessels is said to
incite the Tahans to warlike acts, and to postpone
the pacifcation of the island-in consequence Of
which much angry feeling and some acrimonious
correspondence has ensued.
Gov. Bruat has about nine hundred soldiers under
his command, besides frigate, war steamer, and
several corveties. He is strongly terrifying the
harbor with batteries of heavy Paixhan guns, lay
ing out roads, and making every preparation for
permanent possession. But, since his last rough
handling from the natives not feeling secure, he has
sent TO the Marquesas for reinforcement. The
Tahitians, numbering about three thousand men,
tolerably well armed, with field pieces and ammu-
milton, have advanced their lines TO within ten miles
OF the town and, were they not restrained by the
influence of Queen PoMARE, who is opposed to the
warfare, they would give much trouble to the
Frenchmen Indeed it is feared that they will fire
the town. The Thalia brought piteous letter
from Queen Pomare to Gen. W. Miller the British
Consul General, imploring his presence IN man
of-war, TO protect her and her subjects. lie sails
