TINE WORKS WoNpERs.-About twelve or 6f-
teen years ago two persons, who have since become
very distinguished, pursued in the city of Cincin-
matt occupations, one would have thought, not very
likely to form generals, statesmen, or soldiers, but
who have each occupied no small portion Of the at
tention of the world. The first of these, working
tnman and brass-founder, became the distinguished
General Arsta, Of the Mexican army; and the
second was the famous Garibnldi, then keeper of a
cafe. AT the same time Maronce, the companion
of Silvio Peco, taught music in New York, Louis
Napoleon was writing his treatise on artillery at
Geneva, in Switzerland, and AchilIe Murai was
practising law and planting sugar in Florida.
There are certainly Gibbs and floods in every mans
fortune.

North Carolina elections.

The returns are very meagre, only extending to
two three counties in the 5th 7th, and 9th Con.
gressional districts. A. w. VENABLE, Locofoco,
the late representative, is reelected beating HENRY
X. NASH, Wing.
In the 7th district, represented in the last Con-
gress by Gen. Mckay, Locofoco, AsHE has beaten
REID; both Locofocos.
The only county heard from in the 9th district
lately represented by DoNNELL, Wing, is Wayne
The vote stands LANE, Locofoco, ,056; SrANLY
Wing, 267. This is much better for the Wings
than was expected Unless the other counties Of
the district have made shocking business of it.
which is not very probable, STANLY is elected by
a handsome majority.

The Memphis Enquirer states that Mr.. 5. S.
Rembert, Of that place, has invented machine
for cutting wheat, threshing, tanning, and baggng
il in the field without the application of manual
labor except to drive horse and change the sacks
when full. The machine is to be patented, but we
fear the inventor aims at too much. The Enquirer
says:
"From the work performed by the miniature
.pecimen which we have examined, we have no
doubt it will accomplish all it proposes to accom-
psh The advantages Of this machine consist in
an abolition of that killing labor, the grading Of
wheat crop in hot weather; the further labor Of
hauling, threshing, tanning, &c. All is accom-
pished by the machine in The field II is so con-
sructed that it does not matter whether the ground
be smooth or rugged; whether il have stumps or
not, the machine will perform its office with skill
which, we are told, astonishes every one that has
witnessed its operation. Mr.. Rembert has made
full experiments, and contrasted the work Of the
machine with his best cradles, to be procured with
the very best in the country, and the result of
a strict examination that the cutters left FIVE
heads Of grain where the machine left one An
other advantage: the machine takes only the head
Of the wheat and leaves the straw standing to par
tally protect the soil from the burning heat of the
summers sun; and when the plough is introduced,
o be turned under, and pay back at least part Of
the tribute which it had levied upon the soil.

THE BRITISH WEST INDIA COLONIES.

The attention Of the American public, in all that
related to the West lndes for series of years has
been directed almost exclusively TO the condition Of
the Spanish colonies, TO the neglect OF the many
important affairs which have occurred in the English
islands, and especially in Jamaica This is pecu-
iary strange il is notorious that the changes of
policy in relation TO this latter island have had
most important effect on the commerce of the
world, reducing the British Government from the
position Of power controlling the market of one
of the necessities of civilization, sugar, TO the posi-
ton of second or third-rate influence Recent
arrivals from Kingston show that the boulepsrssment
of society consequent on important social changes
has produced almost political crisis The gov
ernor and the Legislature last elected disagreed and
at the instance Of the latter il was dissolved, and
direct appeal made TO the people. If the people
sustain the legislature, the colonial government
must recede from It's position, in spite of the fact
that the latter has received the express approba-
ton Of the home government. That this is the
case seems strange, especially when we consider
how different the ideas of the Jamaican and
Canadian governors are. The cause of these
difficulties is to be attributed to the abandoning
by the British Government of all determinations in
favor Of Jamaican productions, without which,
under the present system, the once fertile planta-
tons Of the island could not but be unproductive
The revenues, before many months after the intro
duction Of the new system, began to fail; and no
alternative was left, in the absence Of discrmina-
ton, but to reduce expenditures. The first step
towards this was a reduction of salaries paid by
the colonial treasury, to which the colonial counsel
composed of the very officials the emoluments of
whom were infringed on by this step, refused its
assent. The assembly then refused to pass any
appropriation bill, which rendered propagation
or adjournment necessary. The legislature, when
it again met refused to take any action on this or
any other matter, until the bill reducing retrench
ments had been assented to. The Governor then
dissolved the Legislature. This difficulty, it will be
seen, involves the great question of selgovernment
of the importance of which the shrewd and cult
waited planters of the sGarden Of the Antilles are
well aware, and, it may be, will end in serious
trouble. This state of affairs, important as it OBJ
viousy is, to the best of our belief has attracted
the attention of but Of the commercial journals
of the great cities of the United States-the Com
rnsrcial .Adrertiser, of New York-a portion of the
article Of which on this subject has been freely
made use of in the foregoing remarks.

The Pope has addressed an autograph letter to
General Oudinot, on the occasion of receiving the
keys Of the city Of Rome. His Holiness congratti-
lates the General the triumph OF order IN Rome,
and expresses his hope that Divine Providence will
remove the difficulties that may still exist. He
adds that he does not to direct his prayers to
Heaven for the General, the army, and the French
nation. The letter was dated Gaeta, July 5.
Cardinal Pcoli and the Marquis Sacchetts ar
rived in Rome from Gaeta on the 9Th. The latter
is Grand Chamberlain of the Apostolic palace.
Preparations are making at Rome which lead to
the impression that Plus TX is expected soon to
return to the Quirinal. All the wounded have been
removed from that palace.
The French are doing all they can, distributing
money, &c, to get up cry in his favor, but IN
vain.
The Roman troops, who had agreed in the first
instance to do duty conformity with the French, are
all leaving, and the whole force remaining now
amounts to less than | 900 men. OF these many
were anxious to leave, but General 0udinot would
not give consent.
The Pope's engineers, having been asked to make
demonstration in his favor, preferred quitting his
service. Thirty-nine out of forty-three resigned,
and all the rank and file were disbanded The
same occurred in the artillery-all the officers hav-
ing resigned, with the exception Of three capsins
and sergeant The reason given ~, that The
French authorities refused to give them any pro-
mise or guarantee to the protection Of the rights

Garlbadi has succeeded in making his escape
good from the French division, who we're put upon
a false start, and he is now on the mountains OF
Arbuzzi. Previous to his departure from Rome he
had secured the ammunition and military stores.
