A BAND OF G1rslEs.-Lately landed at New
York, among the immigrants brought from Eu-
rope by All emigrant ship. They are now en-
camped, with their covered wagons, in the
neighborhood of Hoboken, and report them
selves from the vicinity of Durham and New
castle, England. The women and children are
said to possess the peculia! physical features of
their strange race; having slender figures and an
abundance Of black hair. The men pursue the
business Of thinkers, and the females cook their
meals by fires made in the open air. 1t is pro-
bable that we are indebted for this odd importa-
ton of humanity to the increased facilities for
emigration afforded by steam navigation; and
should this small nucleus of a new race ofpeo-
pie which we have acquired in these Gipsey i'm
migrants be enlarged by accessions hereafter, it
may be reserved to the United States to solve
the problem, whether it is impossible, under any
form of social and political institutions, to ANAL
gamate with other races a strange order of CO.'S
mopolites, who have, immemorially, been no.
madic in habit, and intolerant of any admixture
with a different people.--North American.

AID FOR THE CUBAN PATRIors.-The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inqui-
rer says that he is credibly informed by one
who should know, that more than three hun
dred men, fully armed and equipped, have sailed
from that port for Cuba, to aid the Patriots
against the troops Of the Government. The
writer adds:
They were shipped from the lower end of
Staten Island, and so quick were the move
ments that the people Of the neighborhood
thought it was only an excursion party. They
went off in a fine clipper brig, and will, in a few
days, be at the point of their destination. l am
told she sailed last Saturday night. The feel
ing in this city in favor of Cuban independence
is growing stronger every day, and | shall not
be surprised if at least a thousand men 90 to
the aid of those who are contending for liberty.
The whole affair has been managed, thus far.
with such caution and secrecy that it will be
impossible for the Government officials to find
who are the leaders in the movement.
The trials of those who were arrested for
participation in the other expedition are set
down for September, but it is exceedingly
doubtful if they will ever be brought to trial !;
there is not the slightest probability that a sim
gle conviction will follow.

1.-TWO years ago, described for an American
paper, the self.moving carriage of N. Provost.
Since that time, M. P. has travelled in it over
a great part of France, visiting Tours, Salnur,
Orleans, Charities, Havre and other places. He
is now in Paris on his way to Bordeaux. He
travels with ease to himself, for the force used
is not the muscular strenth applied to pedals or
cranks, but the weight of his person, which
puts in movement the machinery on much the
same principle with the weight of a clock. On
ordinary roads, (they are Macademized in
France) M. Provost travels from sixty to eighty
miles a day. The crrr!age is about six feet
by three and the machinery not visible from the
outside"
