The very highest tribute which has
been rendered to Sir Robert Peel, was
the short speech of the Duke of We'll
Iington, in the House of Lords, which
is thus reported in the London Daily
News: F ''.' '-9 'ti 'i'-'
sThe Duke of Wellington, who was
frequently inaudable from emotion, and
in many parts Of his speech, could not
refrain from tears, spoke nearly as fol-
lows: MY Lords, rise TO give express
sion to the satisfaction with which have
heard this conversation on the part of
your lordship-both on the part of those
noble lords who were opposed to Sir
Robert Peel during the whole course of
their political lives, and on the part Of
those noble friends cf mine who have
been only opposed to him lately. Your
lordships must all feel the high and hon
orablc character Of the late Sir Robert
Peel ! was long connected with him
in public life. We we're both in the
councils of our sovereign together, and
had long the honor to enjoy his private
friendship In all the course of my ac-
quaintance with Sir Robert Peel, never
knew man in whose truth and Justice
had a more lively confidence. or in whom
| saw more inyariable desire to pro-
mote the public service. In the whole
course of my communication with him,
| never knew an instance in which he
did not show the strongest attachment TO
truth; and never saw in the whole
course of my life, the smallest rea-
son for suspecting that nc stated any
thing which he did not firmly believe to
be the fact My lords, | could not let
this conversation come to close with
out stating that which believe to have
been the strongest characteristic fea-
ture of his character. ] again repeat to
you, my lords, my satisfaction at hear
ing the sentiments Of regret which you
have expressed for his loss.

Summary of News for the Week.

/ The events in our Congress, for sew
eral days, have been such as have ere
ated much discussion, and their impor-
tance will be readily compvehended
when it is known that the Senate of the
United States has passed the Utah bill
the Texas Boundary bill--the bill for
the admission of California. and the bill
providing territorial government for
New Mexico. Our opinions upon these
measures are so distinctly embodied in
other articles, that it is superfuous to
/ repeat them here. We cannot, howev-
er, fail to express general satisfaction
at the course of these events thus far.
The distracted state of the country has
long required action, and it is well that
the spirit Of party feeling has subsidized,
to give place to a better determination
than has existed for 8 months past. =
l. The week now passing will be an
important and eventful one to the repub-
lie; for before it's close, it will in all
probability be decNed whether the
slavery agitation shall be peaceably and
amicably settled, and if this confedera-
/ cy is to continue a harmonious whole.
The Senate is engaged on the last OF
I the bills before them in connection with
that matter-the fugitive slave bill; and
the House will, we suppose, be engag-
ed with the civil and diplomatic appro-
| priation bill, and afterwards with the
Senate bills. We hope aud trust that
there are patriots enough in that body
to insure the passage of those mea-
sures. I $500 -.- ~. foa 4-t l.l
The course of the British authorities
in Brazil, has created much discussion.
/ The war steamers of the British navy
have seized and burnt several vessels
in the harbors of that country, and
there is too much reason 10 fear that it
is part Of Lord Palmerston's policy to
push his views with respect to the right
of search and seizure to much greater
lengths than can be justified. Ii is rep
resented that Mr. Hudson, the British
agent Of affairs at Rio Janeiro, does
mot pretend to approve of the
acts which have been perpetratcd, " hich
speaks well for his his judgment; while,
on the other hand, the increase of dh-
ties on English manufactures, by,n an
act Of the Brazilian government, from
thirty to ninety per centum, significant
ly exhibits the feeling Of the people of
Brazil with regard to the high-handed

Large Speckled Trout.

On the 10Th instant, we helped discuss
the excellent qualities of speckled
trout, weighing a trife over six pounds,
the largest from the rapids this season.
In no previous year have we seen so
many and so large trout as this. '.'
We saw at Van Anden's a few DAYS
ago, three of these speckled individuals,
brought from Little Rapids, that weigh
ed nine pounds, the largest five pound
er. The first ofthe month we caught
of an Indian, eleven trout that weighed
Is pounds, being all taken at one fish
ing, with common cane rod and with
no other fly than grasshopper.
The largest trout caught in the Rap
ids last year was taken by Judge Pat
ton, of Pittsburgh. it weighed six lbs
and quarter. The Judge, by the way,
is true deciple Of the renowned Izaak
and great lover of the game of the
angle and we wish he had followed
out his intention when here last, and er-
rectcd a genuine Walton Cottage on
the bank or on Some one of the islands
Of the Ste. Marie River, TO which he
could have COME every year, with a
number ofgood friends and lovers ofthe
sport, and enjoyed at his leisure this
healthy and delightful recreation. Lake

Electro-Magnetic Power.

f Away with all dangers from steam
No more explosions, burnings, scald-
ings!' @'''i '''A...' '.' '' b
What now sir' A question every
sleepy man may ask, and one certainly
We did ask, whether sleepy or not, after
reading the announcement.
Thus is the matter solved.
DR.. Charles G. Page, Washington
City, declared that he had discovered a
mode of applying electro-Ina gnetic pow
er to the purposes of navigation and 10
comotion-in other words substitute
! for steam.
| To enable him to test his discovery,
20, 900 dollars, through the instrument
tality of Col. Benton, was appropriated
by Congress. .et.s~ ID .fa.r
/ His experiments were exhibited at
the Smithsonian Institute last week.
|. Mr.. Pages great object has been
practical. The capacity of the power is
unlimited; its applicability, safe. The
cost remains to be settled, and that Mr..
Page says, is in favor ofElectro-Mag-
netism. His words, quoted by Colonel
Benton, are: ......... ..n sa
With the same size of battery, and
much less cost, | am now enabled to
exert a force of six hundred pounds
where, little more than a year ago, !
obtained force Of only fifty lbs.
With the consumption of only two and
half pounds of zinc, / now produce |
horse power of "a hours. This is near
ly as cheap as the cheapest steam en-
CINE in the world, and much cheaper
than steam under some conditions
If this be so, the victory is Won, and
the new discovery will take the place
of steam as propelling power. Zinc
now costs DR.. Page eight cents pound
but the increase of demand for the ar
ticle, will bring an increase Of quantity,
with a diminution of price.
Now look at the efect-beyond - as
detailed by DIR. Page, and so earnestly
enlarged upon by Col. Benton. The
cost-the moneyed COSTS in favor ot
electromagnetic power. Then comes
other and larger economies. ..- -,..t
First, that of human life. How il
is wasted by steam! On our own shores
hundreds have been swept away by it
this year. In the country over a thou
sand souls!
Second, in room saving. .-..-.
The engine and battery require but
little space. The fuel is compact, com
pared with coal. No use, ,eyermore, fol
huge chnnneys, smoke stacks, and the
heavy fixtures consequent thereupon.-
No noise, no light. Instantaneous com
municabilty of the full power, SO as to
avoid collision, or change course; and
also, great simplicity of construction
with diminution Of insurance, etc.
Third, land carriage. e'4....-r ..
There will be no stoppages for wooe
or water. One charge of the batter,
will be enough for "a hours. The risk
from fire all gone; the comfort Of pas.
sengers increased; and every danger
from steam, every annoyance avoided

CAPTURE OF A Mantle OR SEA Cow

val there of one ofsthqse. strange ami
mails of the sea, that seem sort, oEcrude
imitation of those of the land. The
Mercury says: ..., -.; .-.3dr
1T is called. the Sea Cow, and was
captured by Mr.. Clarke, in St. Luce s
sound, South Florida, where they are
often seen. This specimen is a bull -
the mate of it having been killed in the
capture. 1t is about 10 feet long, with
head not unlike that of a COW, very
small eyes, teeth in shape and position
like those ola COW. 1t has on the breast
two flippers, something like turtles
but armed with nails. The tail is fam
shaped, the skin smooth and of lead
color, and very thick The flesh is eat
able, and is said to taste like beef,
and its vital organization, except
in having two hearts, approaches
that of the COW. These creatures feed
on the water grasses in inlets, after the
manner of the hippopotamus. argo.b
The Savannah News says: That Bar
mum, of the American Museum, is said
to have offered the captors $40, 900 for
their prize. The female animal, killed
IN the capture, was about ID feet long

How THE NEPAUEEsE TREAT THE
CRIME OF ADULrRY.-Should such a
crime be perpetrated, as it often is du-
ring the absence of the husband, and
be detected, on his return, he is duly in
formed of the stain on his honor. and is
an outcast until the stain be removed -
He is neither permitted to eat with,
smoke with, or even visit his friends and
relations until he has rvenged the dis
grace. He accordingly sets to work i'm
mediately; but as the seducer, on the
return Of the husband, contriyes to make
himself scarce, the injured man has to
wait patiently his return, orthe opportu-
nifty Of fmeetinghim AT length, perhaps
the wished for moment arrives. Tie
wronged husband waylays his dishonor-
ier, steals up to him as be would to, a
deer, quietly draws his kookery, rushes s
behind him, and witfsone, blow sewers
his head from his body. Justice is now
done his honor is avenged and he il;
adniittedto caste. One little trifile alone
remains; he has to cut his wife's nose
of, which is soon done, to prevent anv
one falling in love with her again. sia1i
