FEMALE EMIGRANTs.

MIS. rutnnums whose nuSOan@ QieQ al
San Francisco last fall, is going to that place
to look after his affairs, and proposes (so
say the New York papers) to take with her
= large number Of female passengers, under
twenty-five years Of age, for wives for emf
grants now there, who may be disposed TO
take helpmases. These emigranis, tho pro-
tegses of Mrs. Farnham, are 10 be Of unques-
iionably good character and standing, and
they will be good.iooking Too, wa suppose
some pretty, some beautiful, perhaps, and all
possessing qualities essential 10 good wives.
Mrs. Farnham is supported by most respect
able and we'll known names, SO that there is
neither deception, nor misre representation,
nor humbug in tho matter; but The proposi-
tiou 10 made ingood faith by a respectable
lady, and the adventure will be conducted,
without doubt; in the same manner.
We think this idoa one Of the best which
the Californis 5sper, as il Is sometimes called,
has yet originated, It's rational, praisevor-
thy, and practicable, and we hope i will be
fully and promptly carried out The arrival
of few hundred Of religious, INDUSTRIOUS
and amiable females al San Francisco, would
he, as the moral condition Of The country is
now represented to be, the very best thing
thatcould happen for i, and would be Of
equal value, at least, TO all the gold that
has been obtained, could a comparison as
regards value be instituted beiwsellla yiriu-

On the night of the 18th uu., it is stated by the
Fort Smith Herald, an armed party entered the u.
s. Agency of the Cherokee nation, and made an
attack on the Hon. r. c. s. Brown, and so NAL
treated him that his life was for time despaired
Of and that he remained in most critical situation.
The resistance offered by the agent and the timely
arrival of persons from the out-houses, only pre-
vented the attack from being successful. Three of
the party who made the attack were subsequently,
arrested at Fort Gibson. One Of them was ne
gro, another soldier, and the other a person Of
mixed blood.

"a few days ago two persons came to house
near the barrier Of Pechocchetu, (Vacorlos In

stance was the cause Of much conversation in the
ncighborhood, but nothing definite was ascertaned
in relation to the strangers. At last, the 18th Of
May, it was discovered who they were; the In
fanta Doha Joseba having there given birth to a
child, who at six o'clock in the evening was bap-
tired in the principal church in the city"
The sponsor Of the child the Infante Don Fran
cisco de Paulo, his proxy being Don Pedro Aguirre,

The reception in Canada of the intelligence Of
the cavalier manner in which Sir Allan McNab had

in the generation Of steam, which, IL practicable,
cannot but be important.
Water sois and gives off steam at 100 degrees,
French scale) Heat the boiler to 300 degrees,
and the same quantity Of water will give off steam
with an expansive power, perhaps fifty times as
great. The heat should be always kept just below
that at which the water takes the spherical state
and gives of no steam at all. A French mechanic
has made a small boiler, which, under the great
heat above mentioned, runs a powerful machinery
The boiler and engine occupy about one-twentieth
part Of the space occupied by a common boiler Of
the same power. | need not point out the great
utility OF this for vessels Of all kinds, especially
for sea packets, where economy Of space is import
