Wo are only waiting for the passa ge of the Americans tvho form tlie exploring expedition sent by the United States to visit Ine Dead Sea. Several travellers, arrived from Beth- halga, have met tho expedition, and say that they have already begun their resoarelics on the Sea. Captain Lynch,accompanied by fifteen persons, the most of whom were sailors, left the ship Supply at St. Jean d’Acre, on their way to the Lake of Ti- beriade. The Captain was received with perfect kindness by the officers of government of St Jean d'Acre by whom he was supplicajnaverykindman- ner with all the necessary provisions, and to whom they furnished guides, to reacli in safety his desti nation. The only difficulty Captain Lynch met with, was for the transport of the two Iron Doatodcs* tinatod to navigate the Dead Sea. He was obliged to have two carts, of a peculiar form built, to which were harnessed camels, because tlie Syrian horses were not strong enough to cross the Desert. In this state of things, the expedition left the city for Tiberfado, where Captain Lynch and his com panions arrived safely, enjoying very good health. After having traveuod around tho Lake of Tibe- riade (Gouesarath,) tho expedition went toward* tho country along the Jordan, in order to arrive at Sea; ar tho Dead Sea; and this mode of travelling would have been impossible, if the boats had not been made of metal. Along the river the expedition was accompanied hy Arabs, attracted by tlie nov elty of tho sight, and who without claiming any remuneration from the Americans, rendered to to them sorvices which made our countrymen re- fnember tho hospitable manner of tlie nomade tribes of the Desert. Captain Lynch and his com panions speak in the most flattering terms of tho of tlie officers governing the different places tliro’ which they travelled. They were treated by thorn in tiio kindest manner, and provided with, even more tliau necessary, all things which could bo By tho last accounts, Captain ’ * - * ' - - *1 ki * useful to them. .... , Lynch being abundantly furnished witli all kinds ot instruments and provisions, lmd already begun a navigation on tho Doad Sea, which had never been undertaken hy anybody, and the results of ‘' “ be very interesting to the which will undoubtedly scientific world.

They departed yesterday, re turning to Jaffa.

Men, women,children, old men, overy body, arrives in haste from every part of the country to that pious rendoft-vous. Tim Jordan, named Charia by tlie inhabitants, has its source in a .small lake situated at tho foot of Mount El-Cheik, in tho Li ban. It passes first through tho lake of Tiberiade, the waters of which are sweet and full of fish; then crossing the^reat valley of El-Helou^t runs into the Asphaltic or theDead Sea. Its total length is about 165 miles. Tho Dead Sea is about 60 miles long, and 9 or 12 wide. Its shores and its waters are constantly covered with bitumen which rises from the bottom, atul which is the object of a great commercial bu siness for the nighbouring people. •t tho Doad Sea are charged with out a week with Squire Hawk, surveyin’ and lift- ” he in* chains, for nothing—not I.

N. propeller Tliompsoii, Capt. Wells, ut Galveston, the News of tho 1st inst. lias tho fol lowing interesting intelligence from Tampico. It tallies with tho statements made to us yesterday by an intelligent friend of ours, just returned from Tampico: The citizens of Tampico, we learn, aro unani mously in favor of the new Republic of Sierra Madre. They havo organized into a sort of militia force—completely armed and equipped—for the defence of the city. They keep up a constant guard, and do not permit tho Mexican soldier*, of which there are about ono hundred in the neigh borhood, to upiH'ur in tlie streets after a certain hour. Capt. Wells informs us that it was under stood at Tampico that an offer had been made to Col. DeRussy to return to that place with one thou sand Americans, to nid in establishing and de fending the new Republic, and it was liolievcd that he would accept. A bounty of one hundred thousand dollars was to be paid them, besides their usual monthly pay us soldiers. The people of Tampico are represented as looking for their arri val with confidence. 'Fife force there already organized nnd equipped, ainouti'i to six compa nies—four of infantry und two of dragoons. Two of the infantry companies are composed of Ameri cans and foreigners, one of Spaniards, and oue of Mexicans. A Home im the Wildxbwkkr.— U it aaid that Wm. llowili and his accomplished wife.

The specific weight of its wuters is ubout one-fifth heavier than that of distilled wuters. This has caused people to suy that men eould walk over it without (aoing iu ubovc tho ankle. Tlie fact is exnpgerutca; hut it is certain that upon tlioso waters, heavier than any other, float bodies whieh would sink in others. Tho waters aro so dear, that one may see vory distinctly, at ft certain depth, walls, house., and ruins, wnicl eli did belong undoubtedly, to llioso lin ed. fortunate cities burned, as say the holy Hripturos, by fire from heaven, as a punishment for tho crimes ol'thoir inhabitants. Those cities lapro the names of Sudani, (lomorrliu, Adamu, Sebuim, aud Segor, nnd were rich and flourishing.

IMMIGRATION. Tho following extract from tho l’atont Office Report for 1817 will give some Idea of the immense accession which is yearly made to the population oj this country through immigration: “Tho emigration from Europe lias been far be yond what it over was before, lly tho returns of the eollertors of five of tho principal ports to tlieSecrctary of L Stnle, the number of pomons nf this character arriving during the year end ing September 30, 1817, is slated to he 333,798 mi inerenso of not less than 82,131 iu ono year. It is very probable tiiut the addition of others ill the smaller ports, und those entering our cuiiutry by the way of Canada, would swoll tlie aggregate to not loss than 300,000, and proba bly more. The following table presents tho com parison, in this rospoct, of tho last two years: For the year ending Supt. 30,1810. 1847. Increase.

But the vastly greater number direct their way to the West. A single fact or two shows tho influx of population from States. In this source in tlie Northwestern .States. In gen eral llio current flows on unobserved, but now und then some incident transpires, which calls tlie attention to its over-widening tide. In the catastrophes which have occurred on the lakes aud rivers of tho West, it is fouud that a largo proportion of the passengers moving wostward ' ... i, jn tho case of -VSSI UlO-Ti are foreign immigrants. Thus, the steamer l’liamix, lost by lire recently, out of three hundred passongors, not less than about two hundred aro said to have belonged to this class. This was tlie fact, too, in tho wreck of the Talisman, on tier way up the Mississippi. A very large proportion of tho passongors were Germans. The Norwegians alone in Wiscon sin are said to munbor not less than 13,000, and many thousands more aro expectod soon; 8,000 more me stated to occupy the northern portions of Illinois. From 60,000 to 100,000 Germuus, it his been montioned, on what appears tu be good authority, aro preparing to embark for tho Dniti Jnited States in tho couraoof anothor year."

It is from the pen of the of ' "" ent of the Charleston Evening News: “Judge Berrien delivered one of the moot pow erful and eloquent speeches I ever betid; Me manner Was calm, firm and dignified; his mind well stored with historic facts, which swept the statements of opponents on law and authority iiko chaff before the wind; mare especially that argument, or rather cant, viz: That neither the Constitution or laws of this government recog nise man as properly! They are both persona and property, said the J udge. In onr fadenj i*p- ” “the acts of reaentation they are persons. By all the Congress they aro property!

Another officer of the government enters his name, sex, size, age, and cast of fens tures on the manifest, &c. This view of the aub- joct was dwelt on with peculiar and conclusive force. It appeared not to have been thought of by tho90 canting politicians, who cry the genius of the government forbids man to bold property in man. It caused a consternation in their ranka equal to the bursting of a bomb shell! There was tho most intonse excitement throughout the whole night.” Terrible and Destructive Tornado.—The Bangor Whig of Saturday contains the following account of a destructive tornado which ptssed over tho towns of Ripley, Dexter and Garland, in Maine: “ A destructive tornado commenced in Ripley, on Thursday last. It commenced its destruction on a spaco about ten rods wide,, which kept In creasing to tlie width of half a mile and nearly fitoeu miles tong, passing through Dexter and in to Garland. Wo have only a partial and imperfoct account, from which we judge that the tornado muat have been ono of awful grai grandeur and power. Fifteen houses were completely demolished in the town of Ripley. A school house with the scholars assem bled, was lifted and turned round. A large bam and other buildings in Dexter, were destroyed and scattered out of sight. A large rook was rolled over. Groat hemlock and other trees were twisted off and whirled with fearful force high into the air. Crops, fences, Btone walls and everything in its ction. It was course were swept to instant destructl accompanied hy a loud startling roar. An observer from half a mile distance, says that like! the appearance as It passed along, was smoko of a huge steamboat chimney, in wild and furious motion.
