for u great City.
The papers TEEN every day with in
ventions and con,rivances characteristic
Of the age. and more than all, with pa
tented labor saving machines, which
promise to supersede very speedily, in
our working day world, the old fashioned d
manipulations Of the hand and head
Some OF these patents have been of in
finite benefit to the public, and secured
the paien'ees very snug little fortunes
But of all the contrivances Of the age,
which have struck us with mute aston
ishment, at the boldness and ingenuity
of the projectors, the one lately got up
by Messrs. SIMMONS aud Man, at the
Earl House in Providence, is assuredly
the greatest prodigy. In old times, and
down even to our day, it had been CON-
monty thought, that the qualified voters
Of city had something to do in the Sc
lection Of their accredited Representa-
tives, and even light be consulted in the
original concoc'ng Of Represen!ativ
ticket. 1t had been usual, we believe,
with men Of all parties, to call primary
meetings by fair public notice, and give
every citizen, who agreed with them in
sentiment, an opportunity to express his
opinions, and exert his influence, in the
modelling of the ticket, which the men
Of his persuasion would be called upon
to support. This was thought to be Re-
publ can and above-board, and entirely
cong genial to our democratic institutions.
But Messrs. Simmons and Man, in tho
plcnitudc Of their ingenuity and wisdom,
"havc changed all that" They have
introduced into the good City of Provi-
dence a newly invented REPRESENTA-
TIVE GENERATOR, which, without the
aid of any thinking, or willing, or acting
on the part oflhe citizens, is entirely ade-
qualc to the connection of "True Wing
Dorrlte ticket, "and has actually produced
such an article, after weeks labor,
which is now submitted to the inspection
and acceptance Of the free electors of
that city. The citizens Of p. 70 be sure,
are now represented by n very respecia
ble aud ciiicieu, body Of delegates in the
General Assembly, which, it is believed
has reflected the opinions and supported
the interests Of the city with grca, iidcl-
iy They have taken steps aso to nom

approaching election, through the meJi-

tion. Bot this new invention, il seems,

ENGLISH FLEET OFF MEXICO.

" | learn that the frigate Endymion, ~, sloops
Of war Alarm and Hyacinth, and steamer Hermes,
and Others Of the North American squadron, are
ordered to the coast Of Mexico. 1t is also report
ed that the Vindictive will sail Immediately for

There is nothing more in this than the fact,
that the English Government 10 determined to
have fleet Of observation where ever there is
war. We learn from the best authority that Mr..
Bankhead, the British Minister in Mexico, has
already assured Gen. Paroles, that no aid will be
given to him by England, in the war with the
