The File Cutting Machine which was
credited 10y the \. /. Tribune of last
Monday as being taken from an English
Journal, and appearing as an English In
yention reads as it appeared in our col
ums long time ago, and was copied
therefrom by said English journal. 1t was
invented at Portsmouth, n. H., and we
believe it has been sold TO Mr.. Mcintyre
of that place. The English do not inn
port their files and what are now manu-
featured in this country are the work of
Englishmen. We suppose that no less
than 100000 worth are made yearly at
Sing Sing under the superintendent of
Mr.. Russell an Englishman. The hand
manufactured files are made mostly in
England, but the machine referred 10
above is an American invention.

THE WALLS OF BABYTON.

!
These walls were built of large
bricks, cemented together with bit
umen, glutinous slime arising out
of the earth of that country, which
binds in buildings much frmer than
lime, and soon grows much harder
than the bricks and stones which It
eemsut5 together. They were =
/ Square form, each side OF WHICH Gas
ttsassE.-szfles long. Their bre&1th was
eighty seven feet, and their hight three
hundred and fifty.
The walls on the outside were sur
rounded by large bitches of water, and
lined with bricks on both sides. The
earth that was dug out of it made the
bricks Wherewith the Walls were
built; and therefore, from the vast
height and breadth Of these walls
may be inferred the greatness Of the
ditch.
On every side Of this great square
were twenty-five gates, that is hun
dred in all. These gates were made
OF solid brass. Hence it is, that when
the Supreme Being promised to Cyrus
the conquest of Babylon, he tells him,
"That he ould break in pieces before
him the gates of brass"
Between evey two of the gates were
three towers, and four more at the
four corners of this great square. and
three between each of these corners
and the next gate on either side.
Every one Of these towers was ten
feet higher than the walls. But this
is to be understood only of those parts
Of the wall where there was need
of towers.
From these twenty-five gates, on
each side Of this great square, went
twenty-five streets, in straight lines,
to the gates which were directly op-
pOsite TO them on the other side so
that the number of streets was fifty,
each fifteen miles long, whereof TWEEN
ty-fve went one way, aud twenty
five the other, crossing each other at
right angles.
And, besides these, there were four
half streets, which had houses only on
one side, and the walls on the other.
These went round the four sides Of
the city, next to the walls, and were
each OF these two hundred feet broad.
The rest were about one hundred and
fifty. By these streets thus crossing
each other, the whole city was divi-
ded into six hundred and seventy-six
squares, each of them two miles and
quarter III circumference.
Round these squares, on every side,
towards the streets, stood the houses,
which were not contiguous, but had
void spaces between them. They were
built three or four stories high, and
beautifed with all kinds of ornaa ents
the streets. The space with
in, in the middle of each square, were
for yards. gardens and 9TH
er such uses 50 that Babylon was
greater in appearance than reality,
near one half Of the city being taken
up in gardens and the other cultivated
lands.

POETRY.
FRIENDSHIP,

There Is flower in kindred hearts,
That blossoms sweetly there,
And brightly CLOVIS in alIit parts
Nor withers in despair,
1t blooms as well meath winter rays,
When earth's o'ercast with snow,
As when the summer sunshine plays,
On earthly flowers that grow.
In every cline it blooms the same,
Nor varies in its hue,
And would you know this flowers name?
lis FRIESDsuIP, fond and thus.
And to tie garden of your heart,
a rich supply be given,
And may they from this earthly mart,
Trnsplnted, be in heaven.

FANUEIL HALL, Boston. = This

Fanuen secure Immortality to his
name by connecting it with the cradle
of Liberty. The building was begun
the next year, and finished inl742.
The generous donor so far exceeded
his promise as to add a spacious and
most beautiful Tower Hall over It,
and several other convenient rooms,
as the description Of them published at
that time represent them. In COM
memoration of his generosity. the
town, by a special vote, conferred his
name upon the Hall ; and 'as further
testimony ofrespect, it was voted that

age at which men attain maturity Of

very striking. The tumultuous heat
of youth has certainly given birth to
many of the noblest things in music,
painting, and poetry; but no less fine
productions have sprung from the ripe
ness of years. Chaterton wrote all

of life, and saw nothing better than

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
Summary.

BY telegraph from Washington we have at last,
the closing proceedings of Congress, which con-
cluded its session at IL o'clock, NJ, yesterday.
Our correspondent has furnished an interesting
sketch, commencing with the exciting incidents
IN the proceedings of the Senate Saturday
night and Sunday morning, and continued through
the sitting of Monday forenoon.
1t will be seen that the bill providing for the
government of the Territory of Oregon has become
a law, with the ordinance of 1857, embracing the
principle of the Wilmot Proviso)l attached, not
withstandlng the extraordinary efforts ofSouthern
Senators and Representatives in opposition. Gene
raj Shields has been appointed Governor of the
Territory and Messrs. Turney of Illinois, Brant
of Indiana, and Burnett of Oregon, Territorial
Judges
The controversy in the Senate between Col.
Benton and Mr.. Butler of South Carolna-arislng
from Mr.. Buffers motion to go into Execu-
tive Session for the purpose of inquring
into the manner in which certain proceedings of
the Senate in secret session (on the nomination
OF Gen. Kearny) were made publlc-had, it seems
well nigh resulted IN hostile meeting of the ho-
norable Senators outside the walls of the capitol.
Our correspondent states that challenge was
sent to Col. b. by the hands of Messrs Mangum
and Foote; but that serious consequences were
happily averted by the interference Of the civil
authorines-all the parties being held to bail to
keep the peace. Full particulars of this difficulty
will be found below.
Further election returns, and sundry other IN
teresting items of news, will also be found an

The Foreign News

We give, in our columns to-day, some further
interesting intelligence from Ireland, France and
other parts OF Europe, well as our special prl-
vate Geographic despatch made up at the last mo-
ment previous to the sailing of the steamship
Our narration of the news by the telegraph, from
Boston, on Sunday evening last, was so very full
and complete, that have but little to add to it;
at least, we see but little worth extracting from
the few papers which we received last evening
How occurred that the mails did not arrive last
evening, we are at loss to divine The Acadia
arrived at Boston, distance Of two hundred miles
from New York, on Sunday about noon, and her
mails will not arrive here until this, Tuesday,
morning And yet we are credlbly informed that
they reached Boston, from the steamship, fifteen
minutes previous to the departure of the New Ha-
ven train yesterday, and no measures were taken
10 forward them to their respective destinations.
To us the delay has been matter of much in
convenience-to merchants 1t has not only been
an annoyance, for it leaves them but short time
to receive and reply to their correspondence, but
positive deuimert. Instead of being enabled to
place before readers, this morning, a full ac-
count of the foreign news, and our coplous CORE
spondence from all parts of Europe; we can but
give them meagre synopsis, and even the tele-
graphic summary of foreign news which we pub
lish to-day, had to be opened In Boston and trans
mitted to US over the wires. This is really very
annoying, and we hope we shall not be called upon
to record another instance of the kind
The mails, however, will, with good luck, ar
rive to-day, and with them our foreign files and
letters from the continent. We shall endeavor to
publish as much as possible of both, tomorrow,
as well as some IN the afternoon editions of the
Hfr0II to-day
