FIRST GREAT AUTHENTIC Sea VoY-
AGE OUT OF THE MEDIrERRANEAN.-We
find the following account in late lecture
of Mr.. Winthrop, at Boston, of what has
been considered one of the greatest ex-
PLOTS of Alexander the Great-the pas
sage of his feet from the Indus to the Eu-
pirates. What can more clearly exhibit
the immense material superiority of mo-
dern times =
Nearchus is directed TO wait two
months for favorable monsoon. But a
revolt of certain savage tribes in the
neighborhood, compels him to anticipate
its arrival, and he embarks and enters up
on his voyage. At the end of six days,
two of which, however, were passed at an
Choir, the fleet had advanced rather more
than nine miles! After digging away a
bar at the mouth of the Indus, little more
progress is made, and a sandy island
reached, on which all hands are INDUCED
with days rest. Again the anchors are
weighed, but soon again the violence of
the winds susPends all operations; the
whole host are second time landed. and
remain upon shore four.and- twenty days.
Once more the voyage is renewed; but
once more the winds rage furiously; two
of the galleys and transport are sunk in
the gale, and their crews are seen swim
ming for their lives. A third time all
hands disembark and fortify camp. The
Iong-expected monsoon at length sets in,
and they start afresh, and with such accel-
Grated speed as TO accomplish thirty-one
miles in the first twenty -four hours. But,
then, four days battle with the natives,
far more than counterbalances this I'M
looked for speed. Soon after, however, a
pilot is fallen IN with, who engages to con
duet them to the Persian Gulf. Under his
auspices, they venture for the first time to
sail by night, when they can have the be-
nefit of the land breeze, and when the row.
ers, relieved from the heat Of the sun, can
exert themselves to the best advantage.
And now they are making almost twice as
many miles in the twenty-four hours as
before, when 10! a new trouble arrests
their course. Huge columns of water are
seen thrown up into the air before them
The explanation of the pilot, that they are

New MACHINE. i have been examin-
ing new machine for sewing, which was
recently invented and constructed by an
ingenious mechanic of Cambridge So
far as | am informed on the subject, this is
the first attempt to construct machine of
the kind, and it appears to be an eminent
ly successful one. The machine is very
compact, not occupying a space of more
than about SIX inches each way. 1t runs
with so much ease that suppose one per-
son might easily operate twenty or thirty
of them. and the work is done in a most
thorough manner. Both sides of a seam
look alike, appearing to be beautifully
stitched, and the seam is closer and more
uniform than when sewed by hand. 1t will
sew strait or curved seams with equal ia :
cility, and SO rapidly that it takes but two
minutes to sew the whole length of the
outside seam of pair of mems panta-
looms. 1t SETS four hundred stitches a mi
mute with perfect ease, and the proprietor
thinks there is no difficulty in setting zoo
minute. The thread is less worn than by
hand sewing, and consequently retains
more of its strength. The simplicity Of
its operation will place it in the same rank
with the card machine, and the coach lace
loom machines which never fail to COM
mand the admiration of every inteIligen
beholder. Boston Corr. Western Spy.

this noise and hurting awoke him quick
and wide; in his first movements he laid
his hand on the nice cold coil of gut at his
side. Kissing out " Jaysus'' from be-

that carried him some ten feet clear of the
camp. Casting one wild blazing look be-
hind he tore off with the rapidly of light

forty feet across, and at every bound shout

THE DEBATE IN THE SENATE

On the bill to break down the Tariff continues with
animation and ability; but it continues also all on
one side. Messrs. Evans and DAVIS have been
followed on successive days by Messrs. JOHNSON,
of Maryland, NILES, MoREHEAD, CAMERON, Up
HAM. and SIMMONS, in able, lucid and forcible
speeches against the bill and surely, if truth and
reason and facts and great ability in their aPpl-
cation, could triumph, over prejudice and error,
the bill would soon be numbered with the dead.
