COMMERCIAL.

The following extracts from a Hamburg and a
Copenhagen paper, TRANSACTIONS Of which have just
been received at the Department of State from Mr..
Irwin, our Charge dAffaires to Denmark, afford a
striking illustration of the great Importance Of con-
forming to the commercial regulations Of the
tries with which our trade is carried on, and of the
serious Inconvenience which may result from, mat
ention to rules, in themselves apparently Of trivial
importance.
According to accounts from Cronstadl of the 22d
August it appears that the Danish ship Henry and
Mary, Captain korsholm, bound from Kiol 10
Petersburg, with piece goods has been ordered
away from that port, and remanded to Kel, because
The cotton board the said ship mol accompanied by
the necessary quarantine certificate
Agreeaby to the last Cronsadt list, the said ship
sailed again from that port on the 22d August for
Kiel.
From the Copenhagen Trade and Shipping Journal OF
9th September. lsI5l
In reference to the statement from Cronstadt,
which appears in the 'Borsenhulle" of LIST Septem-
bcr mentioning that Danish ship, called the Henry
and Mary, which had arrived at that port from
Kiel with cargo of piece goods, had been sent
away, we have il in our power to communicate,
from an official report from Petersburg Of 22d Au-
gust to the general board of customs and commerce,
the following particulars, by way Of caution to ship
masters, shippers, &c. u
The ship Henry and Mary arrived on the LIST
August at Cronstadt, from Kiel, with cargo of
tobacco, coffee, &C., and also with II bales of cotton
Now it is expressly stated in section % Of the regu-
latons--
Cotton, from ,cha'soeper place imported, must be
compansd BY quarantine certificate, certificate Of
origin oiertcise the ship mill be liable to detention
Such certificate did not accompany the ship in
question: which, therefore, was put under quaran-
tine Immediately on arriving at Cronstadt; and, on
the Goth August, the encouragement there recev
ed mandate from the minister of the Interior to or
der the ship back to Kiel. The steps which were
still taken on the 2lst, for the purpose Of obtaining
revocation of this order, (Which is certainly very
rigorous, but at the same time in conformity with
the law,) gave hopes of the most fortunate result
but even the most favorable answer would now
come too late-for il would appear that the author
tiles would not allow the ship to remain longer THERE
seeing that she had put to on the 2lst for tho
purpose Of returning to KEEL
The momentous consequences resulting to all con-
cerned in ship and cargo, from such neglect OF the
observance of the prescribed regulations too oh
vious to require being pointed outby us.

CoLLIsIoN OF A STEAMBOAT AND sCHoONER.-A
collision took place at o'clock on Sunday morning
last, between the steamer Columbus and a small
schooner the name Of which we did not learn, load
ed with oysters, having two men-the captain, and
another man, (both white Jon board. The collision
took place off the mouth Of the Patuxent river. The
captain of the schooner and his companion it seems,
were down below when the accident occurred. The
associate of the captain, whose name we have not
learned, was drowned and The captain had his hands
very severely injured--one Of them SO badly, that
amputaon, it is thought, will be rendered necessary.
He was taken 10 sold Point" for medical aid; but
not being able to procure it, was brought to Bati-
more and placed in the infrmary, where he received
the attentions of DIR. Gibson The schooner went
down IN few minutes after the collision.

COMMUNICATIONS.



The Pottawatomic Indians paid visit of respect
yesterday, to Col. Benton, at his residence. The
colonel met them at the door, and extended a cor.
dial welcome to his mansion. Arrived in the draw
ing room, he expressed to the delegation the graf
ifcation he felt in shaking hands with his red
brethren from the far West. Half Day, the orator
then addressed him in substance as follows, (P
Leclerc acting as interpreter
''My friend We have come TO pay you mark
Of our respect and friendship. Your people in the
far West are our neighbours; we live in peace with
them. We have often heard your name: it is
known to all the Indians on the frontier. We re-
gard you as our friend. And now, when here, far
away from our homes, who would not be glad to
meet you as friendi"
To this Col. Benton, with great suavity and dig
nifty of manner, made an appropriate reply, assn.
ring the Indians, that in his action as a senator Of
the United States, he would always endeavor to do
them justice; that he desired to preserve our rela-
tons of peace and friendship with all the Indian
tribes and that he hoped, before leaving the city
they would succeed in adjusting all their business
with the government to their satisfaction and I'D.
vantage.
Refreshments having been handed round, the con,
veisation became general, and was participated in
by the members Of Col. Benton's family--smong
whom, we are tempted to remark, was the accom-
plished lady off gallant young officer, who has
already, by his distinguished service to the gov.
eminent in the wilds between the Missouri and the
Pacific, achieved for himself reputation which
will be as lasting as il is enviable.
The Indians, and gentlemen with them, took
leave, all highly pleased with the interview. They
retired, delighted with Col Benton's manner tow
ards their people, who thus rendered TO him the
tribute of their respect They said his manner did
honor both to his head and heart. II was singular
ly kind and friendly.

A BOLD Feat.

A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, who
visited the White Sulphur Springs by the route Of
near Charlestown, sublime precipice 100 feet
high, and commanding view for miles Of the rush
ing and foaming waters Of New river, remarkable
feat was performed few years ago by married
lady from Mississippi Ten feet below the edge OF
this terrific height which many men will not ap.
proach nearer than thirty yards, there is bench Of
stone, of some dozen feet in circumference. To this
rock, in spite of the representations Of her aighted
husband, the lady descended When she began to
rcascend her husband cried her not to look back
and with his assistance she rcgained the summit
pale as her handkerchief Her ambition was fully
gratifcd; she had done what no other woman had
evsr done, or will ever do, and what she will
attempt egain."

INVENTION OF A LETTER-CoMPosINo MACHINE.
The Augsburgh "Allgcmeine Zeitung" reports
from Vienna:
can important invention, made in this place,
has already proved as perfectly practical, and its
results for the periodical press in general will be Of
the highest consequence. II is nothing more nor
less than letercomposing machine, perfect in its
kind and in the shape Of a harpschord, with an
exterior continuance peculiar to this sort Of instru
ment, and scale of III keys running parallel in two
rows or iIes-the one Of which consists of 81 broad
er bars but the other Of 60 more narrow ones. Now,
whereas il is universally known that no compost
tor-no, not even the most clever and skilful one
is able to compose and arrange more than 1000 let
tiers in an hour, ths letter-composing harpsichord
(if we NAV style il SOY composes, even il il were
played by the most clumsy ten fingers, $50 letters
in a minute, or q, 800 in an hour. One finger
saves therefore, two hands, and the machine works
evidently ten times quick, and even quicker than
the most experienced compostor before his desk
And more than that--the scale Of keys may be
heightened at pleasure, and the single etier-compo-
sing machine thereby be converted into double or
treble one, and so on. BY means Of applying sew

upwards, may be piled at the same time, and by an
