A MAGNETIC WnIRLwiND.--We witnessed n
singular phenomenon while coming from Milwau.
kee to this place, last week, ON n stcamtug which
may or may moi be new to sailors but it was
something we never saw or heard of before. When
of Bailcy's llarbor, about three miles from shore,
the compass began to oscillate from point to point,
without remaining a moment at any one place,
until finally 1t acquired n rotary motion and spun
around with great r%apidity. We stopped It several
times, but it would again ommence vocring back
ward and forward, and very soon began whirling
again. This continued for several miles.
We are informed by Captain Crooks. of the
w hite Cloud, who was on board at the time, that
from local attraction, or from some other cause,
the needle can never be depended upon in that
vicinity though in this instance it was more than
usually affected. The weather was fine mt the
time, and we had daylight before us; but had
there been rough water and n dark night, we
should have had some anxiety for our little" pocket
steamboat" Green Bay 1drOcdte.
ARRIVAL OF A CAPTURED SLAvER.--The bark
PancAita, which was some time ago seized as u
SLAYER in New York harbor, and subsequently
sailed for the Coast Of Africa under Capt. GLADDEN.,
arrived at New York, Tuesday morning again,as q
British prize.
The Panchita was boarded by ii. T.. NJ. brig
Sappho, Commander Moroscly, on tho 9th of May,
while at anchor in the river Congo, and seized as II
SLAYER.
When boarded, the Captain of the Panchita OK.
hibited his papers and mustered his crew-tEough
they were all said to be sick with African fever,
but refused to open his matches. The British
officer then informed him that ho would be per
mitted to proceed on his voyage, but with an officer
to watch his proceedings while ON tho coast, but in
the meantime, MIR. Willis, master of the Sappho,
found an opportunity to 90 below, and found
such evidences of the vessel being a SLAYER that he
felt warranted in seizing her at once.

TIE New DONE TO THE CApIroL.-The Washing

that the achitccts have just discovered the Rotun-
da wall to be to weak to bear she new iron dome.
Its construction will therefore he suspended, apd
tho immense expenditure already incurred will be
lost. Strengthening the walls sufficiently involves
nearly the removal and renewal of the old Capitol
Building.
VERY PLAIN.-Byles of the New York Tribune,
after taking n look Mt Walker, the Flli5ust0r, made
up his mind that God wrote a legible hand when
his features were traced. Cruelty and mcanness
are to be read there in capital letters, and logged
obstinacy, but with no admixturc of intellectual
quality, not even cunning, the lowest of all. His
complexion is n perfect gallows.' Any intelligent
jury would hang him on the evidence of his face
alone.
