HOW is THE MIGHTY FALLEN

In noticing the lecture Of Mr.. Brownson, on the
Infallibility of tho Church, the New York Com
mercial Advertiser says, he has made wide
circuit of belief-having been, in succession, an
infdel, Unitarian, Baptist, and, we believe,
several other things besides. He was always
strenuous and confden. in the assertion of the
doctrine which he professed for the time, INSISTING
that truth not only was, but by possibility could
DO nowhere else; and now he insists upon Roman
truth and infalibility Just as stoutly as he used
to insist upon the truth and infallibty of OPP
posing systems" These facts will add to the
interest Of his present lecture, for it would be
matter of curiosity to ascertain what his views
may now be Of the Romish Church.

AnImportamt Invention.

A Mr.. Phillips, of London has lately invent
ed a " Fire -annihlator for insianlaneousy ex-
tinguishing fires by aeraled vapor." The prn-
cipes, says a foreign journal, chemical, and
they proceed on facts deluced from consdera-
lions of the source of all power-chemical ac-
tion. Fire, in the ordinary acceptalion Of the
term, is phenomenon which results from the
union of oxygen, the supporter of combustion
hydrogen, the element of flame, and carbon, the
element of light. If the oxygen be withdrawn
The fire ceases This The fre-annihilator ac-
complishes A jet of peculiar gaseous vapor
which possesses greater affinity for the oxy-
gen of The air than the oxygen has for the by
drogen and The carbon with which il is com.
bined, is instanieously generated by the ma
chine, and thrown with extraordinary rapidity
on the fire, which, being inslantaneously de-
prived of the supporter of combus.on," al
once ceases. The extinction is so sudden thai
in the case of strong fire, which Mr.. Phillip,

operation did MOI occupy one second" and il

Mexico.

In our last, says The Hunterdon Gazette, we
apprzed our readers of the fact, that another
revolution had broken out in Mexico. 1t has
been successful, and the civil power has again
been subverled by military aggression. Ii ter

Paredes wuhou, firing gun or offering the
slightest resistance. Paredes was accompan-
led by only 5000 troops, and there were in the
city of Mexico, when he entered it, 800 regu-
lars and 10000 armed citizens. On the arr
val of Paredes and his forces The 500 regulars
declared in favor of The revolutionary party, and
,he cilizens surrendered, President Herrera re-
firing Gen. Paredes then dissolved the Mex
icsn Congress, and declared that they should
legslale no more until they should have done
feGlfy 10 him. AL Vera Cruz some blood was
shed. but all in The shape Of legal executions.
Several officers who had favored the admins
iraiion of Herrera, proving somewhat refraclo-
~, were tried, condemned and shot From va
rious accounts il appears that the principal re-
lion was on the haired of the people 10 the U.
States. The following is an extract from the
manifesto of the garrison of Tampoo announ-
cling their adhesion TO the revolutionary move

The officers here assembled are convinced
that the administration does not intend to pros

fance the will OF the nation, and that, with the
greatest assurance in the face of the whole peO-
pie, il is actually treating NTH the government
of the United States for the sale OF Texas, and
