• • COMMUNICATED. MONSTROUS SERPENT. A Rattle Snake was killed a few days ago at Hamilton, Harris County, Geo. measuring 6 1-2 feel long and 22 1*2 inches in circumfer ence,—its mouth when expanded was 0 inches between the extremities—there were only seven rattles to the tail, the balance having probably been lost in combat with some of his serpentine tribe. When the snake was killed, it had a large rabbit in its mouth nearly swallowed* which caused it to become an easy prey to its murder er. The fangs were extracted and measured nearly two inches long. The rattlesnake is ve ry cowardly and acts always on the defensive We understand (says the Philadelphia Demo cratic Press) that Capt. Porter is expected to return to the United States in a few weeks.— SS bother ho will remain, or return to tho Mexi can service, we have not been able to ascertain. 1 he editor ot a country paper, devoted with acrimonious warmth to politics, in a notice to correspondems, observes—“ We have no room for truth this week; and our remarks on Mr. Randolph’s speech have necessarily excluded Justice. Fairplay is inadmissible. Falsehood, No. 5, shall appear in our next.” The work entitled America ns it is, front which some quotations are made in the New X ork American, is a London counterfeit.— an enemv. but their bite is instant death when attacked by i The compiler of it nover travelled iu this coun try.

Mr. Campbell.—They who know Mr. Camp bell only as the author of Gertrude of Wyoming, and The l’leasures of Hope, would not suspect him to be a merry companion, overflowing with humor and anecdote, and any thing but fastidious. He is one of the few men whom I could at any time walk half n dozen miles through the snow to spend an afternoon with ; and I could no more do this with a penurious man than I could with a sulky one. Lawyer;.—In the course of a debate in the House of Representatives, on the resolution to appoint a commute to lix on a proper time to adjourn, Mr. I’. P. Barbour adverted to the re proach of lids government being a togocraey.— To this, Mr. Mitchell, of Tennessee, in reply, said “ He thought the best remedy for logocrncy. would he, for the people to strike from the roll of the House the 100 lawyers who were eternal ly babbling, lie did not include in that remark the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Barbour) who was a lawyer of too high an order, to be at all within its scope. Mr. Clark, of Ncw-York, replied with some warmth, expressing his indignation, that one who himself belonged to the bar, should rise in this House and slander the profession. One Benjamin Franklin—a practical Turk, hv nil accounts, having married sir wires in one year in Ohio !—has been convicted in the Oyer and terminer of Genesee county for passing counterfeit motley and attempting to burn the jail. Instead of the state prison for ten years, he should he sentenced to pass that space under be same root' with his half-dozen of wives. Tho National Gazette, an administration pa per, edited by Mr. Walsh, says—“We have seen many of his (Gen. Jackson’s) letters, and other manuscripts, dated within the few years hack, which exhibited very few, if any, blunders, either in syntax or orthography.” Wo have received the first number of “A voire from the Tide Water Country,” a news paper lately established at Williamslnirgh in Vir ginia. It seems to be in able hands, and is de cidedly in favor of Gen. Jackson as candidate for the next presidency.— U. S. 'Telegraph. The National Journal is becoming supersti tious, cere signum, in the following article: Anagrams have been supposed to hr prophetic. This idea has-been fortified by many instances. The following, might he added to the list: By transposing the 15 letters comprising the name of Thomas Jefferson, they will be found to produce this strong and characteristic declara tion— “ Host of man it free;" corresponding, in a wonderful manner, with the first assertion of this great “Apostle of liberty,” “ All men are horn free and by combining tho numerical power of these letters, they will produce 1774—the year in which he first entered the American congress, and gave the great impulse to our revolutionary movement. We hope the following w ill not prove equally ominous and prophetic: By transposing, in like manner, the 20 letters composing the words Central Andrew Jael;son, they will he found to produce this remarkable and fearful sentence— “ Crown, and see a real King," or “ See a real King and Crown." Comment is left to the render. Ilow awful is the last short sentence! “Corn- men is left to the reader!” If the whole nation does not fall into “ historical fits, little can it claim on the score of sensibility. General Jackson has stood other attacks pretty well, hut it lie does not quail before this new, feartul, and tre mentions anagram, lie must lie thunder-proof. A duel xvas fought the early part of last week, in Delaware, between iwo citizens ol Philadel phia ; upon tho sixth shot one of them was killed, We understand (observes a Baltimore paper) the affair originated m a private dispute, and had no thing to do with politics, as first assertod.

Dr. Jones (the Editor) having been appointed to the patent office at Washington, will he enabled to obtain more extensive knowledge of the numerous valuable improvements that are daily taking place in this country, and the Institute will thereby have it iu their power to lay before, the sub scribers of tlie Journal more general information on the mechanical arts oftlie United States, as well as those of other countries. The Institute are sanguine that in as suming the publication of the Journal they are forwarding the interest of the mechanic arts of the United States; therefore they ask, with confident*, tho patronage and support of the public generally to the work. Among the subjects which have been introduced into the volumes already published are the following:— Proceedings of the 1'ranUin Institutions:—Steam en gines, mill-work, Cotton machinery, husbandry, mechan ical jurisprudence, natural history, carpentry, turning, weaving, dying, boring for water, steel manufactures, hardening, tempering and welding, cements and artificial stones, blow pipe, colour manufacture, juppanning and varnishing, lackering and bronzing, metallurgy, paper- making. leather dressing and tanning, metallic alloys, burnishing, furnaces, pottery, crucibles, brewing, engra ving and etching, glass-making, hydrometry, cutlery, musical instrument making, loek-rnaking, internal im provement, progress of manufactures, gilding and silver ing, seasoning and preserving timber, Foreign and Amer ican patents, purifying oil, «!te.

The tone ofour sentiments will always take the color of our judgment, and sincerity, and justice, shall be the only moderators on the strictures of that judgment. All that can serve to instruct aud lo amuse, all that i* calculated either to enlighten the understand ing or to improve the heart, will he eagerlv and assidu ously sought after, to adorn our pages. The advocacy which iu the outset we professed for women, and which we believe has been the paramount cause oftlie success of’this journal, will rather be increased than diminished in its future conduct. Dispassionate criticism, moral fic tion and meritorious verse, will never be welcomed to its columns. The arts and sciences shall not he forgotten, nor the brilliant witticism, ortho pleasant bon mot lost in a world of pedantry and metaphysics. In short, the most devoted and fustidinus attention shall he paid both to the matter and manner oftlie work, with a laudable ambition to render it still more deserving among readers of taste and attainments. The embellishments which shall accompany the third volume ofthis work, shall exceed those of their former volume*. Nothing shall be calk'd so that shall not be considered intrinsically an embellishment. If they cou- si«t in engravings they will he such a* shall do honour to the country, and not the miserable print* that are too gen erally imposed ujwm the unwary and the generous. The paper shall he good and uniform in its texture- The number of pages will be the same as at present, but from a more discriminate arrangement of the type, a large por tion of reading matter will he furnished weekly. With these views in anticipation, we throw ourselves Upon the bounty of the public, soliciting none to encourage who shall not consider the possession of the work equivalent to the amount of subscription, To the numerous editors who have so generously copi ed onr former uoticies, who have so liberally commended our feeble efforts to please, and who have so largely trans ferred our articles into the column- of their journals, we return our unaffected thanks. Beggars that we are, the obligation will bo still more enhanced by a few insertions ofthis prospectus. We do not offer an cnchange in com pensation tor this service, bnt a* a feeble tribute to their courtery, for even the obligation will be uncalled and the same.
