Of the strength Of gutta- percha tubing took place
few days ago al Stirling in the presence Of com
Inttec Of tho town council, with view TO it's appli-

&c. The tubing, which was one and half inch
bore, was attached To the water-ppcs; and al
though the pressure of the water is perhaps the
greatest in the kingdom, (being about $50 feet,)
not the slightest effect could be perceived upon
either the tubing or the joints, whilst the same
pressure upon strong leather hose scattered the

LATER FROM VENEzUELA.--By the arrival at this
port last night of the bark Venezuela, Captain
Wilson, we have dates from Laguayra and Puerto
Cabello to the 10th inst. Coffee was scarce, and
high prices were demanded at both ports.
Congress assembled at Caracas on the 4th inst,
and we have copy of the message of President
Monagas Singular enough, it commences with
the somewhat startling sentence, sThanks TO Proyi
dence, who has saved me from the dagger Of the
sassin, that ! am able to address to you my con-
gratulations in the last year Of my administration.
He goes on to speak of the happy condition of the
country, and emphatically declares that "Vcne-
zuela will perpetuate her felicity and after
counting her troubles and their end, says:
'In one word, she has traversed sea of want, Of
calamity and of blood, to gain the glorious rcgcn
Grafton which assures to Venezuela her happiness,
her dignity, and her splendor."
A little further on, he gives the of his
startling beginning OF the message. He says:
"The Unsuitable enemies of Venezuela have made
the most formidable efforts to overthrow her insti
tutions, and establish a system Numerically OPP
posed to the national wish. Conquered goriously
in lS4S, truce followed. The government, pur-
suing always its frank and generous conduct,
never turned aside its hand of clemency, but dill
gently sought to draw the wanderers into the bosom
of the community, for the purpose of extirpating
all germs of new disturbances and rcbelons; and
TO cement, in this manner, the peace much de-
sired by the cities. But this purpose in vain;
because some intractable conspirators, wanting in
every noble sentiment, met it with the blacklist in
gratitude. Forming intrgues in the repub-
lie, and believing that my existence the great
obstacle to the realization of their projects they
adopted, their first design, my assassination in
the bosom Of my family, by the family hearth, when
retired from the fatgues Of public service for the
day. They fixed the 2lst OF June, at ~ o'clock,
for the contamination of their horrible design, but
Providence stopped the fatal blow"
BY what special means he saved he does not
say. General Paez, he states, is still confined in
the Castle of Cumona.
Agriculture is represented as improving; espe-
cially the cocoa chocolate and coffee crops. Com
mercc is also increasing in Importance. He directs
attention 10 the national revenues, and 10 the pay
ment of debts incurred during the recent revolu-
tion and in particular those due the soldiers.
The remainder Of the message is mainly defence
of the government against the doctrines Of the adj
herents Of Paez, and TO sustain his grounds he
makes frequent quotations from the writings of Boil
ivar.-Phiia. North american.

discourse TO a crowded auditory, at the Catholic
church, and administered the PLEDGE to large
number who presented themselves. For some
hours on yesterday he received and exchanged
cvlities with such friends as desired to make his
acquaintance. He will remain few days only
amongst us, and will then go westward, on the
great mission of his life. We regret see that re-
cent affection has rendered him physically
incapable of much bodily exerton. His spirit, how
ever, seems unbroken and his zeal we hope will
enable him, for years to come, to go forth in his
high calling Columbus Ga Enquirer, 18th.

A REALLY DISTRESSING CAsE.-A day or two
since accomplished young lady of this city,
who was admired by widespread circle of friends,
died from the rupture Of blood vessel induced by
circumstances almost indescribaby painful. It
appears that young gentleman Ia widower) had
been paying his addresses to her for several months
and finally the day was set apart when the nuptial
ceremony was to take place. 1t appears, however,
that the widower had promised his first wife, on
her death bed, that he never would get married
again; but, when time had soothed his feelings
consequent upon painful affection her
death, he forgot his vow, fell in love with the
young lady, and went far TO agree upon
final engagement with her. On reflection, the
death of his wife and the sacred he made
flashed on his memory Accordingly, with feel
ings best known TO himself. he wrote letter
setting forth the facts, and expressed his deter
mination not to comply with the engagement
which he made with the young lady in question.
She received the missive, carefully perused it,
read it over and again horror chilled her
frame she suddenly became raving crazy, and
after living maniac for only three hours from the
receipt of the letter, she burst main blood vessel,
and fell corpse. Thus persisted fine, talented
and accomplished young lady of Philadelphia-one
who was beloved by all who knew her.-Phl. Sun.
