OCONNELL OBSEQUIES.

In New York, there was an extraordna.
~ commotion on the 22i inst. with the fu.
neral ceremonies in commemoration of the
death Of OCornell. The Irish inhabitants
OF the city generally turned out on tho oc.
casion and the obsequies were on a grand
and imposing scale. The Express says:
" The procession was formed in the Sec.

OF starting at nine O'Clock, it did not move

RorE MAKrNa.-Mr. Whipple, of Prov
idence, Rhode Island, has made an impor
tant discovery in rope making. By it,,
rope can be made to an innsfnite length,
in square room, thus doing away with
the necessity for long rope walks. Two
twists are made at every revolution, with
out twisting or turning at the end of the
rope, as is now the custom. From hun
dred and fifty to two hundred feet of two
inch rope can be made in minute. One
man can tend number of these machines.
If this invention is carried on, a process
will soon be in use, not only doing away
foreign impor,alions and controlling our
own market, but exporting to other coun-
tries. Two.thirds of the cordage made in
this country; is from dew.rotted American
hemp, at an average value Of FIVE cents,
though the present rate is seven cents.

REINFORCEMENTS.

The New Orleans Delta of the 29th ult.
says there are 1000 men under command
of Gen. Brooke, distributed along the Mis-.
sissippi, and that they are TO be sent to
General Scott at once.
Three trains were sent from Vera Cruz
within few days previous TO the l4lh ult.;
the first under command of Lieut.. Colonel
Hughes, which took and occupied the Ma.
tional Bridge; the second under Col Col.
Inns, of Illinois; and the third under Capt
Heitzelman. On the 10Th Gen. Lane
joined them, and moved forward with 1900
men to reinforce Scott.
The Waffle Washington Union Of
the 2s,h, thus states the duties of our Gov.
crnmen, in the contingency which has
arisen-the failure of Mexico TO conclude
treaty:
"We mus, not offer peace again, but concen
tiae all our efforts for vigorous prosecution
OF the war. The Executive will do its duty with
energy; and we cannot doubt that Congress will
second its efforts with all its power. We mus
change the spirit in which the war is waged.--
Sill practising as much humanity as we can, we
must levy contributions upon the enemy--snc
make the haciendos and merchants contribute the
funds, provisions, &c. The military force which
we shall draw around the commanding General
will enable him not only to arrest the guerrllas,
but 10 extend his operations with more effect
and operate upon the obstinate towns and States
If we can have peace only by stern war; we mus
wage that war in order TO conquer peace"
We sincerely hope we shall see more anc
hear less, about prosecuting the war will
vigor."
