The Shanghai Nuisance IN Neac
Stape.-In letter describing the curl
osities exhibited at the Connecticut State
Fair, last week, we find the following
items:-
Eli Wright, of Glastonbury shows a
lot of little bodied animals, half covered
with hair, which he calls China or Shang-
hai sheep. Shey are meaner than Shang-
hal chickens. The only virtue claimed
for them is that they will breed like rab-
bits. Death should be their instant doom,
before they feed any more.

Extraordinary FLYING Machine.

The following curious statement ap-
pears in Paris Ptfic. 1t sounds rather
fishy, but in these telegraphic times we
must not be too incredlous: "The Aca-
DENY of Sciences IS good deal interest
ed at the present time by the invention
of flying machine by Don Diego de Sal
amanca. With this machine Don Diego S
daughter, Rosanna, rose in the air, some
time ago, at Madrid, to the great aston
ishmcnt Of the Spaniards, who are but
very little accustomed to this sort fmir-
acle. Don Diego and his daughter are
about to arrive at Paris to show the cf-
fccts of his marvellous invention. The
machine is very simple. 1t consists in a
case two feet long and one foot wide, a.
dapted to band of leather round the
waist buckled behind. The two iron rods
fastened to the case support small piece
of wood, on which the feet repose. The
case contains a simple and ingenious
mechanism, similar to that employed in
the automaton in motion. The mechan-
ism is worked by means of a handle
1t sets in motion two large wings, ten feet
long, made of very thin caoutchouc cover
cd with feathers; and the wings may be
80 worked as to procure vertical, per-
pendicular, or horizontal flying. The
number of turns given to the handle de-
termines the height to which it is desired
to 90. The handle has to be turned ev-
cry quarter of league to regulate the
distance. The operation of turning lasts
about minute. Horizontal flying is the
most difficult. The wings beat the air
like the oars of boat, or rather as the
foot of swan when it swims. By means
of this curious machine man can go al
most as rapidly as a carrierpigeon-from
the Hotel de Vile to the Arcade Triom-
phe in eight minutes, and in half an hour
to Versailles. Although greatly aston
ishcd at this new invention, several mem
bers of the Academy have pointed out
the inconvenience of bringing it into gem
eral use. In point of fact, there will be
no security for any one, if by the aid of
such machines ali our usages and customs
be overtbrown, and if malefactors can
fly upon the roofs Of houses, and afterward
get into apartments and commit all sorts
of deprcd 1t will be very curious
to see policemen in France and England
pursuing thieves in the air in order to
lock them up on earth. 1t appears that
the year 1855 promises Us all sorts of
mIrvels.

IL The Infamous Judge Kane, o
the U. S. District Court at Philadelphia
pronounced new opinion in the Pass
more Williamson case, last week which
makes every State Slave State for pur
poses of transit; which in effect makes
each Slave State for all purposes, in de,
fance of its own constitution and laws
In taking this ground, (says the Tri.
bune.) Judge Kane contradicts an unbrok
en- chain of judicial decisions-moss OF
them pronounced by slaveholding judges
for the last three quarters of century.
That property in men unlike other pro-
perty) is the creature of municipal law,
and is bounded by the jurisdiction of that
law-that slave taken by his master in
to Free State becomes thereby free, and
cannot be remanded into Slavery-that
even the voluntary return of that slave
into bondage cannot invalidate his right
to freedom-has been adjudged again
and again. But Judge Kane reverses
all this, and by his Opinion practically
converts all the Free States into Slave
States; for if any Shareholder have CON-
mon-law right to take his slaves to New
York for the purpose of shipping them
thence to New-Orleans or Galveston, he
has a right to work them there while they
are awaiting passage, and to hold on
six months for the sailing of the vessel OF
his choice-and at last take them back
if he sees fit. If Judge Kane's opinion is
law, then New \ ork is Slave State this
moment-so is every other State-and
they cannot help it.
Are the free people of the North pre-
pared to assent to doctrine so monstrousl
Are they willing to upset all bygone ad-
judication of this question, and allow
Shareholders to enjoy immunities and priv
ileges in their very midst of which they
themselves are constitutionally deprived!
Surely the mere statement of such le-
gal and political absurdity shows it to be
as outrageous fallacy as ever was put
forth by judicial tool of the slave pow
er. Judge Kane's Opinion is an insult
to the common sense of mankind. If We
had any warrant for the assertion, We
should pronounce him fool; but knave-
ry is SO palpably at the bottom of his le-
gal sophistry, that there is no mistaking
the rascally stuff of which Its warp and
wool are composed.
