INTERVIEW WITH POLAR BEAR.-It seems
hardly right to call polar bears land ami
mails they abound here ITO geographical
miles from the nearest land, upon very
loose, broken up ice, which is steadily
drifting into the Atlantic at the rate of
twelve or fourteen miles daily. To remain
upon it would be to insure their destruction,
were they not nearly amphibious. They
by scent, and are constantly seen running
across and against the wind, which prevails
from the northward, so that the same in
stinct which directs their search for prev.
also serves the important purpose for guild
ing them in the direction of land and more
solid ice. ! remarked that the upper part
of bruins fore-paws are rubbed quite bare.
Peterson explains, that to surprise the seal
bear crouches down with his forepaws
doubled underneath, and pushes himself
noiselessly forward with his hind legs until
within few yards, when he springs upon
the unsuspecting victim, whether in the
water or upon the ice. The Greenlanders
are fond of bears flesh, but never eat the
heart or liver, and say that these parts
cause sickness. No instance is known of
Greenland bears attacking men except
when wounded or provoked they
never disturb the Esquimax graves. al
though they seldom fail to find cache of
seals flesh, which is a similar construction
of loose stones above the ground A ma
tive of Uppernavik, one dark winters day,
was out visiting his seal nets He found
seal entangled and while kneeling down
over it upon the ice to get it clear he felt
a slap on the back, from his companion as
he supposed but a second and heavier
blow made him look smartly round. He
was horror-stricken to see peculiarly grim
old bear instead of his comrade With
out deigning further notice of the man,
bruin tore the seal out of the net, and COM
menced bis supper. He was not interrupt
ed nor did the man wait to see the meal
finished. - Capt. McCHA.Ock.

PUR1FICATIoN OF WATER Every one
who recollects the discovery of eectrotype
will also think of Liverpool and Mr.. Thorn
as Spencer, the chemist, in connection with
it. The dscoverer of electrotypo appears
to have made another discovery of q differ
ent description, which bids fair entirely to
eclipse even his former one in Importance
aud value. 1t is impossible here to do ius-
tice to these discoveries, but we may state
that Mr.. Spencer has expermentally as.
certained that the magnetic oxide of iron,
which abounds in rocky strata, aud in sands,
etc, attracts oxygen, whether it exists n
water or in air, and polarizes it-that this
polarized oxygen is the salubrifying ozone
that this ozone, so formed destroys all
discoloring and polluting organic solutions
in water, and converts them into the spark.

may be done, whether on great scale or

means and Mr.. Spencer has discovered a
solid porous combination of carbon with
magnetic oxide prepared from the Cumber-

The recent occurrences in Mexico. and
especially at Vera Cruz, are likely TO cater
pretty largely into party isms The Dem >
ocratic party has seen for more than year
that upon this slavery issue II is dashine
upon destruction, and that new issue---a
popular issue-must be made with the Re
pnblicans. The cry for another Mexican
war has been tremendous on the part Of the
party managers, aud our naval officers of
the Gulf Squadron have been for more than
year, not formally instructed, bat gently
ddClsed to seize upon the first pretext TO
get into difficulty with the Miramon party
N Mexico, or with the Government of
Nicaragua. For two years Mr.. Buchanan
has pleaded with Congress for power to get
into war himself with either Of these pow
ers, and his request has met with no re-
sponse. The thing was recently triod over
again in the attempt to get the treaty with
the Jnarez party, and one with Nicaragua,
ratified by the Senate. This could not be
done, for Republican Senators thought
they saw in both treaties sly promises for
future trouble with these powers. Tired Of
this sort of thing, one of our Navy captains
at Vera Cruz, upon his own responsibility,
goes out to sea on purpose to attack two
of Miramon's ship plays the spy upon
them as it we were at war with Mifamon--
and sips and men are now at New Orleans
The Administration, while disavowing any
Instructions to these lawless officers, stand
by them and their acts 1t censured brave
Commodore Paulding for his fanced infrac-
tion of the law of nations, of going on shore
at Nicaragua to catch American pirates,
but will stand by inferior officers who make
war at pleasure upon a nation with whom
we are at peace
1t is very evident that the so-called "De-
mOcracy" are anxious TO divert the atten.
tion of the people of this country from the
real issues between the two great parties of
the day. A war-cry is to be raised, which
is generally so popular with the people, and
grave, earnest issues of the times overslaugh-
ed by it. This is the first object of these
violent attempts Of the Administration and
the Pro-Slavery party to get into difficulty
with Mexico. The ulterior motive is the
extension of negro slavery. Fearing that
there is not enough left of the Miramon
party in Mexico to quarrel with, our Gov
ernment tries very hard to raise an issue
with Spain, and with affected virtue de-
mands to know if Spain has been guilty of
assisting Miramon-and if she has, threat
ems to suspend the neutrality laws SO far as
she is concerned, and allow American pi-
rates to seize Cuba If they like.

BALTIMORE, June 2Ist-The New York
delegation have resolved to sustain the ma
iority report of the committee on creden-
tials.
The minority report of the committee on
credentials is signed by the States of Oregon,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina Tennessee, Kentucky,
and California, and in part by New Hamp-
shire
Mr.. Crum resumed the floor and was pro-
cteding to state that he believed protract-
ed discussion would be unattended by any
good result, and he would at the proper
time move the previous question. Loud
cries all over the hall " move now - Mr..
Crum said he was under such obligations
to fellow committee men that he could not
now move the previous question.
Mr. PhiiIips of Pa. said that both reports
agreeing on the seats from Mississippi, Del
aware, and Texas, he moved that the pOr-
tions of the reports referring to those States
be adopted.
A point of order was raised that Mr..
Crum had the floor.
Mr.. ScheII of Tenn. and Mr.. Adkins Of
N. Y. raised a point that Mr.. Crum had
yielded the floor
Mr.. Crum explained that he had not yield
el IllC llOOf, OuL ueSllSu W give way " TIC
member from Oregon, but he only stepped
down TO hear a word fellow delegate de-
sired to say in his ear.
Mr. Waterbury of N. Y. urged that it was
yielding the floor to step down to talk to
any person on private business.
The President said he could only decide
the point by taking the representation of
the gentleman from Missouri, Mr.. Crum, on
his honor.
Mr.. Crum hoped every statement he made
was on his honor. He only intended to
yield the floor temporarily to the gentle
man from Oregon, and did not intend to
yield the floor for any other purpose.
Mr. Sibley inquired if it was not the Gus
tom for one gentleman to ask another to
yield to him temporarily for an explanation.
The President said it was, but, IN the
opinion of the Chair, such Interruptions
were all breaches of order. He decided
that Mr.. Phillips was entitled to the floor.
Mr.. Phillips said he did not desire to
speak on the question before the house. He
made a proposition which no minded
man could have objected to.
Mr.. Stewart arose to the point of Or
der. The gentleman from Pennsylvania
was not speaking to the question, and
was impugning the motives of the con-
ventiOn.
At this point in the report at o'clock
A. M, the line between Cincinnati and ST
Louis failed. The report was delayed to
;his late hour by the press of special and
private dispatches. We learn from private
dispatches that the convention adjourned
until tomorrow, without taking action on
the report of the committee on credentials

THE WORKING MEN $ MEETING, last even
ing, was largely attended by an enthusiastic
crowd of mechanics and laboring men.
Reports from the various crafts, interspersed
with music, occupied the greater part of the
time. The treasurer made Il report, stating
the amount of money that had been placed
in his hands subject to order. The Presi-
dent of the meeting made some remarks re
lative to the action of the committees on
collection, WHICH were to the poin and APP
propriate. lie thought there had not been
sufficient energy manifested in the matter OF
funds, and hoped the committee would be-
stir themselves and be able to report and
pay over the amounts collected by the next
night of meeting. After some remarks from
Others present, the meeting adjourned TO
meet on Thursday night next.
