A few days ago a wealthy planter residing some
four hundred miles up the coast, came 10 tLis city
Oh visit OF pleasure, bringing with i'm his family,
among them singularly beautiful and accom-
plshed, though inexperienced dau. liter. So re.
markabe was she for her personal attractions that
she could not fail to allure the gaze OF crowds in
the Streets and at the Opera she was the target for
n hundred eye glasses. She was another Latona,
for whom the moStnsensate modern Jupiter would
willingly have transformed himself into an OK.
Singular TO relate, young man from one of the
Southern States, high born, intelligent, OF aScina
ting exterior, and reputed rich arrived here about
the same time Having been extensively engaged
i'll mercantile transactions, he aScertained immedi-
ately on his arrival that commercial reverses had
overtaken TO- eign house which he had trusted
largely, and that by is bankruptcy he was left
pennilesS. He became desperate and determined
by bold stroke to retrieve his lost fortunes or to
put end TO his difficulties by the unpleasant nj
ternate OF "Pistos for one,' or suicide. Brooding
over these his resolutions, he visited the opera,
where. guided by his lucky star, his entranced
vision fell upon the young lady in question To
see her. 10 ascertain the fact of her great wealth
and to resolve 10 win her, required but moment
and his resolution was fixed He must ave her or
die.
Through the inStrumentality of plant serving
maid, he obtained an interview, hen by the magic
OF practSed tongue, ready with protestations OF
undyng love. he obtained the fair ones affections,
| a nd the promise of her hand.
| How he avoided the unpleasant possibility of a
refusal the part Of the ladys parents TO ratify
the match, how lie persuaded the fair demoiselle
that there was such sweet romance in a clandes-
tine marriage, and how, in Two days, between the

again by the return packet to tell the story ofther
loves, to profess penitence and ask to be forgiven.

conceived, but with the assurance that the family

ANOTHER SHAKER MARRIAGE.-Mr. Dennis Pratt
one of the founders of the Society at Harvard, who
has been so often seen in our streets with apple
Suce and other Shaker notions, startled the Coon
munity',1 lisa few days since by announcing to
the breathern aud sisters, that he had taken Miss
Lord 10 the altar in Boston-that they were made
one'fiesh, and as the Lord was on his side, he
should quit them, and "peddle their sass no longer
any how"
1t seems that "friend'' Dennis, while in Boston
a few days since, with his broad brm and long gray
coat, found something much sweeter and more TO
his taste Than the best frkin of sauce he had with
him. and resolved on making an immediate invest
uent-"puttipg n all he had and throwing him
self in, into the bargain" This he did under the
eye Of justice of the peace as stated, and is now
enjoying the honeymoon here in Lowell, as happy
as a clam. He thinks he has been s'shaken DOWN.
enough at Harvard, and now needs little worldly
repose. May the tub Of his coppubia! sauce be
ever pverdowing and as sweet, as il made from
pippins from the Garden of Eden 1t is said when
the Shakers first heard the announcement that one
who had been with them for u years, had so sud
denly, and unaccountabIy fallen from grace, they

TEE PITTSBURGH PROTEST

The late Pittsburgh papers are in an awful state
Of excitement about the late subscription of the
Central Road to the Marietta Road. Every effort
city. First, her bridge effort, and in that by
the help OF the representatives of the people, we
were enabled to defeat her. Fooled there, she at
tempted to crush US by opposing Hempfeld every
where and under all circumstances; Philadelphia,
despite the threats of permanent unklndness ct id
genus of trials and fluctuations, which might
be presumed to be fitted for intimidatng the peace
full inhabitants Of the city Of brotheriy love, saw
properto Protect her own interests and subscribe TO
the stock of the Hempfield Road. Beat off here
Pittsburgh takes anoth, tack and seek 10 make
rms in the Pennsylvania which shall control the
action of Virginia in reference to the Pittsburgh
road, through Holidays Cove, Va. Finding that
Virginia likely to legslate for herself in this
matter, and that the Pennsylvania Legislature
would make no such conditions, by way of vent
ing her spleen and of visiting her permanent un-
kindness upon Philadelphia, she yampS up her
solemn protest to the Marietta subscription, and
lacks 10 it all the threats about illegal redress &C.
&C.," which she thinks can possibly have any
bearing upon the question, or shake the confidence
of The public in The success of this Improvement.
But it will not do, the ''chick won't fight" and
Marietta and Wheeling may fold their arms and
quietly look at the viper knashings of this woe
begone city, and remind her that all have their
days of trial, and that patience is cardinal vr-
tue, and that days of retribution always come to
those who have acted capriciously and unjustly.-
Really, we feel sorry for the sad condition in hch
our rival finds herself at present, though we have
hopes of her permanent conv:leScence from the
use of stimuLants, such as her Connellsvile Road,
DC. We feel, however, that we should remind
her. id all kindness that she will have ere long to
submit to counter iTiants, as we Virginians shall
be compelled to refuse her the use of our territory
to build herself up upon at our expense; so she
had best prepare for the worst and not fret herself
into fever about Marietta, thing beyond her
control entirely. If she wants our trade she must
come to Washington Cor it, and now and then she
can have an odd passenger or two, from the Hemp
field, who may wish to pass through PittSburg for
the purpose of taking some practical lessons as to
the proper altitude of bridges over navigable
streams. Weare glad to see that the worthy May
or.eect takes the thing philosophicaly and admits
that hadelplia is free city and has the right to
look to her own interests. The right of the Cen
trail to make the Marietta subscription is matter
of law, and in legal forum, we doubt not it will
be decided properly, without reference to local
prejudiceS or " feelings of permanent unkind-
ness

Cause of the Il xpl osion OF the called Burn:

ing Fluids.
The atmosphere, as is well known, contains
oxygen gas, in the proportion OF one fifth part, by
measure. ~
Sllt is also well known that if hydrogen gas be
mingled with atmospheric air, it becomes explosive
when flame is applied. If the hydrogen gas be
added in the proportion Of two measures to one oil
oxygen, and especially if the whole quantity be
large, the ignited gases will explode with great
violence. The same is true if the illuminating
gas be substituted for hydrogen gas; but that gas,
being composed of hydrogen and carbon, requires
more oxygen gas. If drop of ether be agitated
IN a bottle of Oxygen gas, its vapor willinstantly
mix with the gas, and then burning candle ap-
piled at the mouth of the bottle will cause loud,
and it may be dangerous explosion.

then poured out. was placed on the hearth of

These facts will explain the explosion of the

are composed of oil of turpentine and alcohol
The inflammable vapor which is constantly rising

plosve, just as if hydrogen gas were mingled with
it; on the contact or near approach Of flame, an
explosion will, or may ensue. The flame may be
even at some distance, because if the vessel be
open, the vapor will flow out of it, and being
heavier than the air, it may even reach candle
placed on the floor, and away from the flame, in
he case OF the glass globe above.
Whenever lamp containing burning fluid is
only partly flled-and the same with the canister
or reservolr-the air above becomes explosive.
This state of things occurs constantly in the
lamp; as the fluid burns away, and in the can oil
reservoir the fluid is, from time to time, poured
out for use.
1t is common, that the fluids are poured into
the lamp, and from the can, with flame near at

We are indebted to A. Guthrie, esq.,, steamboat

the United States.
The list shows that the western cities have the
largest numbers-St. Louis taking the lead, and
Cincinnati next in'the figures. The eastern cities
however, exceed in the proportion OF tonnage; as
New York with 80 boats, gives tonnage of g.
i47 tons, while ST. Louis, with 126 boats, only
gives 30,94S tons.
Most of all the western boats are high pressure,
while the eastern are low pressure.
