IMMENSE FLIGHr OF GRAssHoppEns,-
on Sunday last, at IL O'clock, m. flight
D! Grasshoppers passed over our city,
continuing some three hours. and extending
some miles to tho east and west which
IN point OF number, exceeded NIL computa-
ton. The sky was perfectly full, and
in the rays Of the sun, myriads could be
seen, looking. like SNOW fakes moving
about i'll circles, and apparently going
south-ward. Some eight years ago,
similar phenomenon was observed
IN this city, but this is said to have been on
l2M.
COLTS REvoLvERs.--So great is the
demand, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, for
these pistols, that three hundred men, and
over ono hundred thousand dollars worth of
machinery, cannot supply the demand
Forty thousand OF these arms will be turned
out of the factory in Philadelphia during
the present year of 1851, and still the
supply will fall short of the demand The
demand is so great Col. Colt will probably
have one thousand men at work in very
short time.

REVOLVING SAILs.--The Liverpool papers
record the invention, by Mr.. II. Watson, Of
Manchester. England, OF new mode of
rigging ships:
t' The principal feature in his invention
is tho introduction of set of revolving
sails, sixteen in number, something similar
TO the fans OF a windmill, which are clcva-
ted on wheel, and arc attached TO a sort
OF spindle. AS soon as the wind touches
these sails, they instantly set in motion the
spindle, which, acting upon very simple
piece of machinery, propels couple of
paddles. The object attained arc greater
speed by means of the paddles, and the adj
vantage of sailing against a head wind
This is great Improvement as the sails
can be pointed with ease To any part of the
compass. Head or contrary winds are not
recognised; n stiff breeze is all tina. is re-
quislte TO propcl the vessel. Tho paddle
boxes give the hull the appearance Of
double bowed steamboat. lie has rrrcd II
model ship twenty-three feet long by SIX
feet breadth beam, according to this plan,
Tor the purpose Of testing its capabilities.
The inventor has secured patcnt for his
invention, and is sangunc of its success
Should it succeed it is said that it will
cause Il complete revolution in the present
system Of propeling vessels"

Lopez was taxed prisoner, a cry Of JOY and
exultation ran through the crowd.
"They stated THAT Lopez was chief Of
the expedition. Col Dowseman was Sc
coud in command. and was killed on the
thirteenth. Cot. VIM. Scott Haynes, Of
Tennessee, was ancther leader Accord
ing to their best belief lie was still In the
mountains. Col Criiiendcn had been an
officer in the U. S. Army during the war
with Mexico An Hungarian named
Pragay, who acted as Adjutant General,
was morially wounded on the 18th.
ut is matter of regret that so imperfect
narrative has been obtained from these
unfortunate men. In the excitement OF
the moment many would speak at once,
and to some questions it was difficult to
get satisfactory answer, on account of the
eagerness all to giveit. =
"At the request Of the Commandan, Of
the Castle, the prisoners were asked if
they had had the benefit of medical atten
dance since their confinement They re-
Piled that they had. They were also asked
if they had been provided with two meals
day, and whether they had bread and
coffee for breakfast Some said that they
had; but others replied that they had no
coffee The commandant Immediately in:
quired the reason of his subordinate, who
stated that those wlfo had been confined
there on the previous evening came too
laic to be provided for on that morning, but
that they would have their allowance Of
coffee at dinner lie stated that the others
had been provided for according TO the or
der
at may be proper TO add that the priso-
ners appeared to be in good health, aud by
no means so much reduced as their expo
sure and hardships would seem to warrant.
They even appeared to be cheerful, which
may have been the effect Of their relief from
condition of far greater anxiety and sui-
fcring, experienced during their wander
ings upon the Island.
81 should have stated that my first heu-
tenant, Mr.. Taylor, was with me during this
interview
The whole number of prisoners, inclu-
ding those not yet brought to Havana, is
officially stated to be about one hundred
and thirty.
! Il have just learned that Lopez, who
was captured on Friday last. (August 29,)
was brought in last night, and publicly ga
rotod at seven O'Clock this morning."
