From Tanpico.

The ship Seaman, Capt. Myrick, arrived
yesterday from Tampico, which port she left
on the 7th inst. We aae indebted to Capt
Myrick for the Tampico Sentinel of the 4th
inst. We find nothing in it of interest except
the following paragraph:
Menico, Oct. 26h.-We are positively in
formed that Gen. Santa Anna has fixed his
residence conformably in all respects to the
orders VIII CHI he has received on the subject
from the Supreme Government, and from
thence he intends to defend himself against
the charges brought against him for his con-
duct as a military man. His companions. in
his retirement, are only his chaplain and Gen.
Staboli. with small force of cavalry for the
security of his person. Gen. Alvarez. with
Sd, 7th, and 9th Cuirassiers, and other regular
troops with the Corps del Sur, have marched
in the direction of Cuernavaca. Gen. Reyes
also, with the regiment of Hussars and other
bodies both cavalry and infantry, have taken
their line of march to Queretaro, to put them
selves at the disposition of the Supreme Gov
ernment.-N. o. Delta, 17th.

Another Manufacturing City.

We are glad to learn that company of
wealthy capitalists, principally from Boston,
have purchased the Falls at Lewiston, Maine,
and from 600 to 700 acres of land adjoining,
for the purpose of establishing there new
manufacturing city. Mr.. Boyden. the chief
engineer and five assistants are now on the
ground completing the surveys of the city,
laying out the new streets, &c. The plan, we
believe, is to run canal from the falls down
the river, and some idea may be formed of the
value of that privilege, from the fact that the
head of water is over 40 feet, and factories
will be built for long distance down the riv-
er if required
AS Lewiston will be connected with Port
land harbor by railroad on one side, with the
eastern part of our State and the Kenaebec
on the other, and with the fertile west by the
Montreal road, we think that if the manufac-
turing business in the country continues pros
porous, she is destined to be the largest inland
town in Maine.-PortAand Advertiser.

of her waking hours in physical amusements.
that is, in amusement which tend to develope
invigorate, and ripen the bodily powers. She
rides, walks, drives, rows upon the water, runs
dances, plays swings, jumps the rope, throws
the ball, hurls the QUOT, draws the bow,
keeps up the shuttlecock, and all this with oat
having it impressed upon her mind that she is
thereby wasting her time. She does this
every day, until it become habit, which she
will follow up through life. Her frame, as
necessary consequence is larger, her Muscular
system better developed, her nervous system
in subordination her strength more enduring,
and the whole tone of her mind healthier
She may not know as much, at the age of
seventeen, as does the American girl as a
general thing, she does not, but the growth of
her intellect has been stimulated by no hot
house culture, and though maturity comes
later, it will last proportionably longer. Eeight
hours each day of mental application, for girls
between the ages of ten and nineteen years,
or ten hours each day, as is sometimes re-
quired ct school, with two hours for meals,
one for religious duties, the remainder for
physical exercises are enough to break down

Linseed and Flaxseed.

The question raised by Mr.. Secretary Walker,
as to ten or t,centy per cent on this article,
seems to be readily decided by jury. The
following case occurred last week in Boston,
in the Circuit Court OF the United States
WOODBURY. J. presiding-we presume:
F.S. CARurH q. MARCUS MORTON.
In this case, che defendant Collector of the
Port of Bosten and Charlestown, pursuant to
instructions from Washington,and as Collector
of this Port, exacted duty of twenty per
cent. advalorem, upon quantity of seed,
imported by the plaintiff from Calcutta in
September last, and invoiced as Linseed,"
which is put down in the Tariff Act as liable
to pay duty of only ten per cent. advalorem;
the same Act, however, fixing duty upon
"Flaxseed," of twenty per cent. advalorem.
The question for tie jury was to determine
whether the article in question was in fact
Linseed. and so known in commerce. 1t was
proved by a number of witnesses, that it was
not known by merchants in the Calcutta trade,
by any other name, nor invoiced, shipped,
bought or sold by any other name; and if this
article was not lnseed, no one could tell what
was. The Court having instructed the jury
that the Act of Congress must be SO interpre-
ted as to recognize the common meaning at
tached to such common words, and be under
stood in law, as men acquainted with trade
would commonly understand it in commerce,
they found a verdict for the plaintiff without
leaving their seats. This suit was understood
to be the first one tried involving the same
