For days past the barque Mary at the south side
the India wharf has been loading with unusual cargo,
consisting OF military wagons and other articles of
like nature. little inquiry revealed the fact that the
vessel had been chartered for Mr.. T. Armstrong, and
that her port of destination Alexandria the capital
of ancient Egypt. '-s sN0 %fN
1t appears that the viceroy, who has for many years
received the greater portion Of his machinery &C., from
England has desire TO test the workmanship of this
country and thus the Young West sends TO the Ancient
Fast specimens Of her advancement in the mechanic arts
The cargo placed ON board the Mary, and which has
been carefully selected under the inspection Of Mr. Arm
strong principally for the equipment of army upon
the march, consisting Of military wagons made after the
pattern for those for the United States by
Mr., Warren Mansfield, Of South Brantrec. Also India
rubber pontoons bridges for the passage of armies
across rivers, by the Boston Betting Company. These
ponoons accompanied by the necessary materials TO
build a complete temporary bridge. There are also,
tools of every description for the use Of d moving
army E .T
This is the first expedition Of this character which has
left shores for the country Of the Nile. few arti-
cles have at different times been sent but never half
enough to ll vessel The Mary viii leave next week
for Alexandria and with fair winds and pleasant weather
WILL probably make the passage in about forty days.
