The Steamer Atlantic —Singular Sensations es the | Diver. 1 Mr. Mallletert and hit companion* returned from ( Long Point last evening, after a second and a auc ; cessful attempt to reach the wreck of the Atlantic, { o!though from unavoidable circumstances nothing i has yet been accomplished toward raising the Ex | press Company's safe or commencing operations i upon the wreck. We have been furnished by Mr. John Green, the diver, with a very interesting ac count of his descent. Notwithstanding the some what unfavorable condition of-the weather and the roughness of the water, it was determined to make an attempt to reach tho wreck on Saturday morn ing, in order to lest tho capacity of the new hose. Mr. Green therefore arrayed himself in the ma rine armor and started our second trip to Ine bot tom of Lake Erie. He descended without any dif ficulty, and landed directly in the interior of the steamer’* smoke-pipe, the tor and sides of which he felt with his feet and hands. lie was then ele vated again some little distance, and alighted the second time on the braces, following down un- j til he got on to the cross braces. He did not, how- snooted in making a firm footing on the j deck, owing to the unsteadiness of tho small steam- j or used on the occasion, which communicated too I much motion to the hose and ropes. There was much risk of the intrepid djver got ting entangled in the ropes and wood-work so as to be unable to extricate himself, or to tear the dress, j and being again elevated ho descended a third I time alongside and clear of the wreck. lie now | went down fourteen feet below the upper deck j and even with the guards, his head being one bun- 1 dred and thirty-nine feet, and his feotone hundred and forty-four feet below the surface ot Lake Erie. This is the deepest dive ever made, une hundred and twenty-six feet being the greatest depth over before reached. The new hcao was found to be perfectly successful; tho diver felt quite at ease, aud went down and up, without the slightest in jury to dress, pipes or man. T’he marine armor consist of a perfectly air-tight India-rubber dre?9, topped by a copper helmet with a oloar, thick plate of glass in front. The pipes which supply and exhaust tho air, lead from the top of this helmet. The pumping requires much labor; four, and sometimes six men being • emnloved upon it at the same time, end compelled I to work hard at that. A great pressure of air is I pxnerienced by the diver upon his lungs, equal to CXpCnOUvOU WJ »*UW Hn VI uj/vii > 75 lbs. to the inob, and very few individuals could j bear it for any length of time. When first going into the diesg. the eetißalicm of 1 oppression it- very overcoming, but passes awey | in a r noat measure "after entering the water. When j a depth often feet is reached iu the descent, the j drees bewmes entirely emptied of air and collapsed to the body, causing "a pressure oil over the diver j equal to th* heft of « t«n pound weight, except ing as to the beau, which is protected by the pro i per helmet. The difficulty in breathing now be j oomea great, and s. painful sensation is experi enced by the diver, the jaws becoming distended, | and the head seemingly splitting. This continues 1 uu til after descending another ten or twelve feet, then the pain is relieved, the diver feels oom j sortable, and experiences no further tuconvience, W ben abou*- sixty feet below the surface, hun- I dreds of the legitimate inhabitants of the water surround the diver, nibbling at their strange visi -1 tor as though he was “food for the fishes.” After ; reaching seveutv-flv© feet, all is perfectly dark—a plays irupenetrat-le darkness—and an electric flame black,around the inside of the helmet, caused by the i friction of the pump. At about one hundred and • sixty feet the water is very cold, being in the pre sent season within four or five degrees of freezing. Mr. Maillefert has returned iu order to obtain a larger steamer, and to wait for settled and calm weather before making another attempt. He has not the slightest doubt' that the next etfort will be crowned with success. Mr. Green, the diver, has proved himself capable of doing the work effectu ally, and must rank as one of the first and most useful “under water'’ men in the country. Two | most excellent diver besides Mr. Green are in com : panv with M. Maillefert. We shall look with ! much interest for the result of the next trial, but that i‘ will be successful we have no doubt. Arrival of the Empire C’lty. The steamship Empire City, Capt. Windles, ar rived this morning from New York the 18tb, via Havana the 19th inst. The officers of the Empire City says they were treated with remarkable politeness by the Spanish officers while in the harbor of Havana. The Havana papers continue to be filled with long and scurrilous diatribes against the United Stales Government, people end press, which ap pear to bo as silly as they are false. The Diario d-e la- Marina gives an account of the loss of the war steamer Pizarrc, the best vessel in the Spaunish navy, from which that she lett Havana on the 10th, and at 7 o'clock that uight was off the port of Mariel. Approaching the shore too close, she struck upon a sunken reef, and, according to the Dktrio, will prove a i total loss. An officciid notice in the Diario says that a council of war w:« to be held on the 18th, to ae j termine the cause penduiownJbfcTB T £tmslKTo f Facciolu, Juau Autantudo Koraero, Antonio Beliido Luna, Florentine Torres, Juan Antonio Grana ; dos, Felix Maria Casard, Antonio Palmer, liamon Palma, Antonio Pubio, LadielaoUrquisoandllde foaao de Estrada y Zenoa, accused of being authom, printers ana accomplices in the publica tion of the revolutionary paper, La Vox drtPiiebio. | A gentleman who came passenger on the Em pire City informs us that arrests continued to be i made daily, both in Havana and in the country. I Among the foreigners in Havana, not even the ■ simplest opinion upon the state of the country is ; expressed without the utmost caution as to being j overheard, os spies swarm at the corner of every street, and a report from one of them to the Government is sufficient to cause the arrest of any individual. Two English officers, belonging lb the British steamer, had walked out to the Punta. n firt opposite the More, at the mouth of the harbor, ami were pointing to the forlifioationß in sight, when they were arrested and imprieou ; Ed on suspicion of being filibusters taking obser vations. An appeal to the British Consul, bow j ever, procured th ir immediate release. All American newspapers, without exception, ' are strictly prohibited. Even the acting Araeri j can Consul there, Mr. Moreland, our infoimaat t says, was unable to got a singie paj-er from the United States. The pilot of tne steamship Black 1 Warrior, who lives at Key West, left the steamer at Havana, with the intention of proceeding from* thence to his home. In his trunk he had some ft-y 3 of New Orleans papers, which be was taking *■o I s family. The e were pounced upon at the Cur*on,-House, and immediately sent to the palace of the Captain General, notwithstanding Urn re- G.onstraaces of the in Jignan* owner. Parties of troops leave the city daily fbr the ; country, and prisoners arrive by every train. Our : informant saw sixty persons transferred to the Moro in one ba:cb, securely bound: among whom j he recognized several persons of wealth and : standing. A squadron ot cavalry, under the lead of a notorious commissary or police officer of the j ch ji was in the south of the Island searching for - stand of arms, wluoh the Government had ! received information has been lauded near Cien fuogos.

The ludiaaola Bulletin, speaking of cattle rais - mg. says that this important branch of Texas pro - due;ion was never in a more encouraging state than at present and adds : In the coast region the number cf stock raitei s i is multiplying rapidly. In no portion of the coun try ere cattle raised more easily or successfully, and with so few losses, as in the Caranchua coun » try. M e learn that Col. Clark L.

The Bulletin save that there is a great increase in the lumber trade of ludiauola. From the 16th f of August to the 18th of September, inclusive, 599- 000 feet had been received.

Bat enough of this—the reader is doubtless anx ious to see tbh extraordinary speech of General ’ i Soon. Here it is: i • Okk. Scott's Speboh at Clbvbland. Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 21—The following is 1 j the speech of Gen. Scott, made from the balcony of the American Hotel, yesterday, to the throng which assembled to welcome him to the city ; > “fellow citizens—When I fellow citizens, I mean native and adopted citizens, ha well as^ah 1 who intend to become citizens of this great and - glorious country. 1 thank you for the euthusias j tic reception \ou have given me. (Cheers.) But ! there is one thing I regret in visiting this beautiful j citv, cud that is the rain. 1 was pained that while - | I was comfortably sheltered in a covered carriage, i vou should has e been exposed to rain and mud. i During my military campaigns, and at other times i | in the discharge of the duties of my office, and 1 I during the greater part of ray life, I have been on the march, and have always been accustomed to i expose myself to the weather and other incouve l i niencee of camp life, in common with the brave - soldier of the army, and lam pained at this time, to see you put to such inconvenience on my uo s count." (Great cheering.) Fellow-citizens—l have i thought u man could hardly call himself a citizen 3 of this great country, without passing over these t great lakes, of which this is justly celebrated as r i one of the most beautiful of the whole West, i ! (“You're - welcome hero,” from an Irishman.)

I repeat my thanks for this enthusiastic re ception. (Great cheering.) This morning he was waited upon by a large number of our citizens, and on his departure in the cars for Golumbue, was enthusiastically cheered. The Democratic Candidate. j In a recent article, the Baltimore America* «x --j presses the confident conviction in the defeat of Gan. Pierce, and assign* three causes therefor. The second and third are »o forcibly put, and withai so entirely true, that we subjoin them and i | commend them to the dispassionate consideration j of every intelligent and reflecting mind: i “ Another cause which work* powerfully in fa- ’ j vorofue whigs is the obscurity and political in significance ot Gen Fierce, it is impossible to make anything out of him. His civil career and j | his military career alike stamp him with the mark ! i of mediocrity. He cannot rise above the dead le ■l vol of political stagnation. The idea that he has ! done anything to entitle him to the votes of the . people for the Presidency is so absurd that we do 1 not find it often brought forward. No efforts, however desperate, can give public interest to the cause of such a candidate as this; his name ha* no associations with any thing great in addon or noble - | in spirit, or useful in service. He was scarcely j ' known in Congress or in the army; he has made ns figure in the for am or in the field. Hence it, follows that bis partisans have dull work in trying - to arouse the people to do something for Bierce. < They are apt to inquire what has he done for his country! Gen. bcott they know, and they know ; something of his doings—but Pie-oe they do not know, and do not seem very anxious for an intro dudion to his acquaintance. “ The third cause of encouragement to the whig* | aud of embarrassment to their opponents, may Ce | found in the fact that the Fierce party have so tied i fl fViut - in \ vAxir rtf fitter- I tl.bu* nan i* teat, m view 01 tacit avowed princi ple*, they cannot act in behalf of any of fho groat | i interests of the country. Their political principles | are a aeries of negations. If the people of the | ; great Wed and Northwest desire to have the mesa* i of internal commerce facilitated, they are told that j : Congress has no power to carry on any genera! ' ! system of internal improvements; the votes of) fierce in Congress against every river and harbor bill that came before him eland forth in the public view, along with the vetoes of Mr, Folk. If Penn vauia desires to have her great iron interests j fostered and protected, she is told that the present tariff is a Democratic measure, and that Democrat ic principles must bo sustained, though the pros perity of the country may have to go down. * “ There is not a single point upon which the Pierce paity can go before the people and maintain themselves consistently with their professed prin ciples. For them the canvass is barren, the hust ings dumb—so far as any words of sound policy are concerned.” It i» indeed a melancholy reflection to sec a great nation of independent freemen, so perfectly the slaves of party and corrupt irresponsible Conven tions, as to permit themselves to bo confined to two such men a« Generals Scott and Pierce, to se lect a President from. The one a mere General, a successful one it is true, and nothing else; and the ether a sort of amphibious hybrid—neither Gen eral nor civilian,—in short nothing. Neither pos sessing any qualifications or distinction which should commendthem to the American people for such a station. Eakkxkg's Aestact.— This excellent Journal from January to Juno is on our table, through the politeness of Joseph A. Carrie & Co. This is a wort that will always he read with profit and pleasure, for as its name imports, it ie “A practical and analytical digest of the contents of the princi pal British and Continental Medical Works, pub lished during the preceding six months. Togeth er with a series of critical reports on the progress of Medicine and the collateral Sciences, during the eame period." It is a work that should be in tie ( Library of every Physician who wishes to keep \ pao© with the science. It is edited by W, 11. BxRtXKe, M. D., Cantab, and published in Phila- ; lelphia, by Likdsat & Blaceiftoki, at $1.50 per [ rear, and to mail subscribers, postage pre paid at i $3 per annum in advance. j 1 — - ! i Thirteen hundred emigrant* arrived at New- I Pork on Tneeday. frmgj Europe, in four different | * ship. The electric telegraph from Pare to Bordeaux is now opened to the public. It i», says the Euro pean correspondent of the New York Commereial Advertiser, probably, the most perfect line of mag netic communication in existence. The wires, ; ten in number, go the whole distance under j ground. They are five inches apart, and form u hollow square! To guard against humility, they are supported upon wooden blocks, with the ne cessary insolation, encased in a coating of gutta pereha and lead. An ingenious contrivance ena bles the guardians to detect at once the exact spot where any flaw or break has occurred, without the digging up of any portion of the trench. As the wires follow the lino of the rail road, upon whose sacred soil no mortal foot is allowed to tread, they will be safe from profanation. It is said that the tariff caprices will bo more moderate than upon the other lines. A Nkw Ship Cakal Projected.— The New York Post states that among the passengers leaving on Wednesday in the steamer Sierra Nevada for Cha gros, is Mr. Catherwood, the artist, who many years ago attracted the attention of American t by his admirable illustrations of John L. Stephens’ popular book of travels in Central America.

Pouter and the accompanying correspondence oftheNew- York Herald; It will be recollected that we published, on the arrive! of the B.

This manifesto was handed to Capt. Porter, ot the C. C., by Messrs. Drake &, Co.’s clerk, after the ar rival of that ship. The following letter of Capt. Porter is the answer of the said communication : Havana, Sept. 14. 1832. GentUrrun —I have received a communication from yon to-day, enclosing one from the Spanish government, in which Mr. Wm. Smith, purser of this shi t , ’8 accused of writing infamous reports for the newspapers, and prohibiting Mr. Smith from going on shore, a* if the said Mr. Smith had com mitted some criminal act. The injustice and absurdity ol tms order wnl be apparent to you, when I assure you, on the honor of an officer,'that Mr. Smith has never written or composed any article for the newspapers , n wa« duo to the gentleman in question first to inquire if he had written any article injurious to the gov ernment. „ Citizens ot the United States ere not a! ram >-0 express their opinions on foreign political matters, especially in their own territory, where freedom oi speech is allowed to the meanest individual, ih shortness of my stay hero will not permit me to go into a discussion of this matter. I merely wish to state to yon that an indignity has been offered to the American flag, through the ship I command, as an officer of the United States government, in placing on board police office?* to take charge of Wm.

I, moreover, inform yott, that! will not permit the police offices to st ß y on board, under the circumstances ; that 1 in tend to sail st four o'clock, and if any attempts are made to prevent me, the Spanish autl onties will have to answer to the United States for the result.

The Crescent City arrived here this morning from New-Orleaus. but so great is the difficulty in get ting on board, that I don’t know if 1 shall bo sole to sand this letter. Since the discovery ofthe press Vox del Pueblo, it is almost an impossibility to re ceive or send away a communication.

There are one or two versons now in disgrace for the heinous tin of reading an American newspaper. There is a spirit of misery and despair pervading the bosom of the unhappy Creoles; and the mis fortune is, they have no sunshine in the tntuve.— Every thing looks dark aud gloomy, and the Cap tain General, (like his great prototype, Nero, fid dling amidst the burning of Rome, ) laughs at tne misei v and despair around turn, snu sighs to think there 1* no mote room in hi* prisons for more ric riins.

It is said that he goes to Mexico to stir up the old Spaniards, and get them to ask assistance irom Spain to iVac a monarch on the throne of Mexico.
