A Naval Engagement or Cartagena

A Naval Engagement or Carfagen0.
MADRID, Oct. 13.-The Intransigen.e
feet was defeated by the national squadron.
The fight took place Saturday afternoon
near Cartagena, and lasted about two hours.
The insurgent vessels were considerably in
jured, and were compelled to return to Car
tsgena hsrbor. The Government squadron
consisted of tide Almansar, Victoria, Cor
men and two small vessels. There is ru-
NOR that the Lisnon has been captured, but
the Government has received no such intel
igenee. There is great rejoicing over the
victory.
LONDON, oct. ia special despatch
frou Cartagens to the Times gives the par
ticulars of the engagement, and says the In
transigente Junta held consultation, and
decided to fight although they had no hope
of achieving victory. Some OF the gar
rison were in favor of surrenderiDg the city,
but the majority Of the men, especially de-
serters from the Government army, deter
mined upon resisting TO the last.
a special to the Times says Gen. Cebsi-
los has ordered the people living in the
neighborhood of Cartsgens, to quit their
houses, as general bombardment by sea
and land will soon be opened.
A correspondent Of the daily NelcS tele-
graphs that the naval action was brought on
by an attempt of the insurgent feet TO es-
cape to the ocean in Algeria.

A queer Story.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.--A Washington
dispatch says the German Minister has just
rec iyed intelligence from Berlin, stating
sutboritatively that Nine. Won Bismarck is
not only not dead but not sick. The story
was probably invented by Ultramontanists
to coincide with the arrival Of Victor
Emanuel at Berlin, so it would appear that
Bismarck had suffered this affection for the
King of Italy.

It appears, remarks the Brisbane Courier, the

confined to human beings, but is death to the

Here's the latest snake story. we do not

into state closely bordering on hysteria by her
little girl crying out that huge snake. had
gone under tie house. The alarm
was soon spread. The neighbors assembled and
assisted Mrs. P. in searching for the unwe1come
visitor. They we're unsuccessful, and in despair
Happy thought! Some one remembered that

followed. When about twenty yards from tho
house, the musician struck up Glove Among

ing OF rne preeeOE F1V6r WOu1Q enaple u6 TO pre-
dict the course to be pursued by the erosion in
the future.
But not only has the Niagara River cut the
gorge; it hss carried away the chips Of it's own
workshop. The ahale being probably crumbled
is easily carried away. But at the base OF the
Fall we find thehuge bou1defs already described,
and by some means or other these arc
fills the gorge in winter, and which
grapples with the bou1derB, has been
regarded as the the transporting agent. Prob,
ably it is go to some extent. But erosion acts
without ceaaing On the abutting points OF the
boulders, thus withdrawing their support and
tion also docs its portion Of the work. Tint
solid matter ia carried down is proved by the
difference Of depth between the Niagara River
and Lake Ontario, where the river enters it, The
depth falls from seyenty-two feet to twenty feet,
in consequence Of the deposition OF solid matter
caused By the diminished motion OF the river.
In conclusion, we may say word regarding
the proximate future Of Niagara. At the rate OF
excavation assigned to it bySir Charles Lye1l,
namely foot o year, FIVE Thousand years or 80
will carry the Horseshoe Fall far higher than
drain, @ as % i S.a hithorso dons, the banks night
and left Of it, thus leaving nearly level terrace
between Goat Island and the edge ct the gorge.
Hghor up it will totally drain the American
branch Of the river; the channel Of which in
due time will become cultivable land. The
American Fall will then be transformed into q
dry precipice, forming simple continuation Of
the c1iffy boundary OF the Niagara. At the
place occupied by the Fall at this moment We
shall have the gorge enclosing right angle, q
second whirlpool being the consequence Of this.
To those who visit Niagara few uillonniums
hence, leave tho verication OF this prediction.
All that can be ead is, that il the CAUSES now in
action continue to act, it viii prove itaeH literal
y t1ue. /

The Decline OF Methodism.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The subject of the decline of Methodlsm in this
city and Brooklyn appears to be attracting some
attention just now. Will you permit me to state
the cause OF that decline, not only numerical, but
spirituals 1t is simply the grasping avaricious-
ness, venaity and cupidity Of its leading members.
lay and clerical, which prompt them to prostitute
religion to aggrandize themselves.
From DR.. Newman, who endorses Pomeroy as a
'God-fearing Christian" down to the exh0rter at
the evening prayer meeting, who tells with such
JUNCTION how much religion has improved his
worldly prospects, all, all are tainted with the
same spirlt-subservlng religion to advance self.
We see 1t yearly in the wrangling at the confer
ences for who shall have the latest past0rates,
bishoprcs &c. Such things may not seem so
much out OF place among the Episcopal and other
effete churches, but among the Methodsts, the
great reformers, VINO claim entire sanctifcation
and perfect purity OF motive as their prerogative,
to not only connive at, but openly countenance,
such things Surely "the whole head Is sick.n
When ministers aim at placing themselves
where they will do most good" and not where they
will receive most stipend, and wnen they will
earnestly seek to rid their societies Of the self
seeker, the trimmer and the hypocrite even
though he may be RICH, then "God, even their
God, shall bless them and all the world yield its
increase.n w. G. b.
