Navigation OF the Rio aran.le.

The Brownsville Sentinel contains some details
Of interest ahent The navigation of this river, in
support of It's claims TO the consideration of Gov
eminent in clearing out its channel The river is
at present navigated by steamboats, the distance
Of about 500 miles, and with the removal Of very
few obsiructions it might be rendered navigabIe to
an unknown extent About six months since an
expedition was fitted out under the direction of
Mai w. w. Chapman, U. s. Quartefmaster for
that military department, for the purpose of explo-
ring the Upper Rio Grande, and testing its pract-
cability for navigation, through this channel. The
inquiry was about the supply of the upper military
stations with stores and munitions A keel-boat
was constructed. and put under command Of HAIRY
Love; man conspicuous during the recent war for
his feais as daring express-rider, and who has also
had much experience as a boatman. This boat
drew % inches when loaded, and with this depth
she assembled the river to Eagle Pass, two or three
hundred miles above its present nayigable terminus
Mr. Love- on his return, reported that there are only
TWO places ia the river where any serious impedi
ment il offered to its free navigation, as far up at
least as be had been. There are two points in the
river that must be opened before they can be
passed in low stages of water-one of these, oppo-
site or near Guerrero, town situated on the Mexi.
can side Of the stream, and the other short dis
lance below Eagle Pass, where there is at present
an American military station. Mr.. Love succeeded
IN taking his boat safely over both these rapids,
and represents that small appropriation would
open The river to steamboat navigation us far up
even as Ell Paso del Norte and Santa Fe. An ap
preparation for clearing out the river has been
recommended by Sr. Alanchaca, deputy 10 the
State Legislature Of Tamaulipas, to the attention Of
the Mexican Government With a small amount
The people Of that region would, in the sanp,Iine
calculation of the Sentinel, be put into possession
Of another nayigabe stream second in extent only
70 The mighty Mississippi 1t would create new
markets in The adjoining Mexican States and our
own newly acquired possessions, for an immense
amount of our productions. The long and arduous
overland travel which has heretofore been carried
on from ST. Lonis, Mo. would be done away with,
aud the merchants in those distant regions would
have their goods transported 10 their very doors in
the Igbt-draught boats thai would be constructed
to run on the Rio Grande.

NATIONAL PREMGuMs-Mr. Ewbank, the new
Commissioner of Patents, makes a proposition for
the establishment Of a Board, composed Of eminent
functionaries of State, men of science and Presi-
dents of scientific and practical associations, on or
near the day Of the Presidents Inauguration, when
many thousands Of citizens are assembled in Wash
ington from every part Of the Union. Among the
premiums proposed, he suggests one of no. 900 for
an invention whereby land can be worked without
animals-in other words, a locomotive pillow, or
plow and harrow combined; one of $50 goo for the
first steamship other vessel that makes three con-
secutiye trips across the Atlantic Mt an average
speed of not less than twenty miles per hour; an
other of $4,000 for the first vessel that does that
same at an average speed of not less than twenty
five miles per hour; one of 100000 for the first
person who within a given number of years shall
render Electricity available as an economical eff.
Gent and general prme.rnover; or who shall with-
in the prescribed period discover and make known
the means by which atmospheric pressure can be
probably employed in the propulsion of sea-going
vessels and land locomotives, or as a general pro.
pelier of fixed machinery, by some rapid mode OF
expelling air from cylinder or annihiatng it un,
der piston; OF who develops an explosive OF other
prime mover, applicable, energetic and economical
as the vapor Of water, and whose exciting and
transmitting mechanism is less massive and costly
than that Of the steam engine.

2 CoNeREss.-T House Of Representatives has
at last closed its elections in summary way. Ate,
having balloted for Door-keeper couple Of dozen
Of times thereabOuts they got rid Of ii by post
poning the remaining elections till the 9Th March
1851, that is indefinitely Whether this will stop
all controversy on this subject is very questionable
The intention Of the motion was 10 retain the old
iucunbents in office. They were elected for the
late Congress. and have been acting by sutferanee
since on the general practice Of holding over Po-
liiicalyi would be good settlement Of the subject
for the Door-keeper is q wing md lie Postmaster
a democrat The decision OF the Speaker is, that
this vote disposes Of the subject of the election
finally, inasnuch postponement to day GER
tam, makes It out Of order to call up the subject
again Busa motion to appoint a Door-keeper or
Postmaster by resolution will still be in order: and
we have no doubt thai the vexed question will be
started again in that form and as preliminary to
that movement, as part Of it, we find the House
engaged on the 2lst in debating the point, whether
they have any Door-keeper or Postmaster at all,
or whether they who act in that capacity at present
are not intruders without lawful title to the office
Doubtless there will be great deal of logic and
'ratory expended this knotiy point, to say moth
pg Of thefew thousands il will cost the treasury

VI
VIOLENT OUTRAGE AND PROBABLE MURDER
An examination has been going on, says the Lock
port Courier of Jan. 10th, at Albion, N Y, during
the past week. Of Mr. Lowder, residing in the town
of Yates, about fifteen miles North Of that village
for the supposed murder of his wife The facts
brought to light, the testimony of the neighbors
and daughter OF the prisoner, show degree of de-
pravity, Of relenessness fend like cruelty, which
i is seldom lot to record. 1t appeared, in evi-
dence, that he had been in the habit, for several
weeks previous to her DEATH of treating his wife
with the most wanton cruelty as pastime- had
knocked her down on several occasions with an
axe-heive--would place her repeatedly on the bed,
jerk her from the bedstead to the floor and after
beating her without mercy, would replace the bed
and repeat the tragedy. On one occasion it was
said that after repeating the transaction described
above several times, he raised the celar-door,
threw her into the cellar and kept her there till
morning. The circumstances of her death were,
that she went to bedin usual health, and was found
dead in the morning. When the coroners inques;
was held, DR.. Huff, Of Albion, took the stomach to
his residence, in which was detected on examine
ton, considerable quantity of oxalic acid II ap-
peared, too, that Mr. Lowder had purchased poison
short time previous to this event. and that paper
ofwhite powder, admitted to be poison by him, had
been found in the bed by the daughter.

= THE UsuRY LAW. "A large meeting Of the
most influential merchants of the city of New York
was held at the Exchange on the 17th to agree
upon memorial to the Legislature for the repeal
Of the usuEy laws Of that State, as in practice
+ They prefer repeal Of the present law, and the
enactment Of new one, which should leave the
existing rate of seven per cent? now in force, where
no contract exists and permit parties contract for
any amount above or below that rate. They are
willing that the interest mortgage and real es-
tate securities should be limited to seven per cent
and that banks and banking interpretations shall
not be permitted to exceed the present rates Of dis
count.
# this reform be not conceded, they ask for
change in the law, so that the penalty for usury
shall only apply to the forfeiture othe excess over
the legal rate, and not at present, to the forfeit
ure of the seven per cent.
