because several of said heirs reside without

INFORMATION FOR wINE-BIBERs

The following account ofthe manner of
expressing the juice of the grape is respect
fully submitted TO the attention of wine-bib-
bcrs, who are so very particular in the choice
ola pore article:
Commander Wilkes, in his report of the
Exploring Expedition, states that when at
the island of Madeira, he visited with the L.
States Consul, a wine factory, kind of shed,
and thus sketches the process:
"On our approach we heard sort of song
with continued stamping, and on entering
saw six men stamping violently in vat of
six feet square by two feet deep, three on
each side of huge lever-beam, their legs
bare up to the thighs. On our entrance
they redoubled their eXertions till the perspr-
alton freely poured from them; the vat had
been filled with grapes, and by their cXcrtions
we were enabled to see the whole process
After the grapes had been sufficiently stamp
ed and the mems legs well scraped, the pulp
was then made into the shape ola large bee
hive, rope made of the young twigs of the
vine, being wound around it. The lever
was then used, which has large stone or
rock attached to it by n screw. The juice
flows offand is received in tubs. The pro-
duce ofthe press is on an average about fifty
gallons daily. Each gallon requires about
two bushels of grapes. The taste is very
much like sweet cider. The general aver
age is from one TO three pipes per acre annu-
ally. The South sides of the island produc-
es the finest wines. The common Madeira
is made from mixture of three kinds of
grapes. After being expressed the wine is
put into casks, ferments, and is clarified with
gypsum, or isinglassa after which two or three
gallons of brandy are added to each pipe"

LATER FROM MEXICO.

The Washington Union of Saturday an
nounces the following important intelligence
from Mexico.
"By the arrival, on the 18th instant, of the
United States brig Porpoise, at Pensacola,
twelve days from Vera Cruz, the intelligence
ola revolution in Mexico has been confirmed.
1t appears that on the morning of the Both

day, without opposition.
The rumor was that General Paroles man.

Mn EDIToR:-I write to assure you and your
| readers that we were highly delighted with
the MUSIC and paintings, presented for our
entertainment, on Saturday evening, the 24th
instant by Messrs. Allen, Dexter, Godding and
Mrs Allen. There was a great variety of
songs; some grave and sentimental; some in
genious and mirthful; and others droll and
lWghatie. All the principal improvements
of the present century were playtully, yet
correctly described by Mr. Dexter's songsand
many of the follies of the age were subjects
ofcomic satire in the paintings as well as the
songs. The singing was very good and sup
porfed by instrumental accomplishments. In
the delineation of the menagerie, the ami
mails were so near the natural size, and NOV
ed about the cage so much like life, that we
could scarcely make our Juvenile friends real
i've that they did not see living Lion, Ele-
phant Dromcdary, &c. We were much a.
unused with the accuracy of the delineation
fthe tailor sewing, who sets his needle, and
draws out his thread, &C., as natural as life.
The shoemaker is also seen to set and thrust
through his awl, and tuck through and draw
out his ends. The drummer appears to APP
proach and recede about quarter of mile;
and when near we really hear the DRUM
The blacksmith hammers a horse shoe and
we hear every stroke. AS soon as we had
seen and heard the grave robber break open
a coffin, we saw the supposed corpse rise up
alive, But "Death on the Pale Horse" seems
to emerge from the most dismal red clouds,
and glance his horrid eyes round upon the
earth, and then pass over the land and go
down into the unfathomable abyss of dark
ness. One rural scene gradually changes
from winter to summer, and summer to win
ter, SO that in a few minutes,we seem TO have
beheld the scene for several years. In the
sea views, the ships move on majestically,
and the whale is being harpooned; and in the
land views, people are seen walking about
and horses and carriages moving along. OF
the Scriptural scenes the "Healing the sick"
induces feeling that we see Christ going a.
bout doing good; while the "CrIcifixion" let's
us SEE HIM suffering for us, But as there
were about fifty different scenes, all equally
interesting, Icannot particularize farther; and
would only add that as this affords very
scientific and rational amusement, and of rare
occurrence in the country, 1 hope that all
who shall regard such things, may indulge
themselves the pleasure of attending the Noe
turnal Spectacle & Musical Olio Of Messrs.
Allen and Co. when they visit their several
towns, as is intended this winter. s,

BEAR HUNTING. A letter from Currituck
county, N. c. states that there had been some
rare sport in that neighborhood about the Both
ult. 1t appears that the great fires in the Dis
mai Swamp last fall, having destroyed their
food, had driven great numbers of bears TO
seek sustenance on its borders; and as they
were making very free with the pigs, &c, of
the farmers, a party turned out in pursuit of
them, and in the course ola few days they
killed no less than nineteen full gro,on bears,
besides taking one alive, which was freed by
the dogs
