JIESISTAXCE of BEAT.
In London, lately, Mr.-Chabert, a na
tive of Russia, exhibited to a numerous
company, a specimen of his extraordinary
faculty of resisting the force of beat, dis
playing more of the proprieties of the sala
mander than we thought belonged to any
but that fabulous animal. lie began bis
operations by rubbing a red hot shovel on
his arms without bunting them, and on his
hair without singing it. lie swallowed
some spoonfuls of boiling oil out of a small
vessel, and washed his hands in the re
mainder. He went through the fiery 01
deal of dancing on a red not bar of iron,
and then bathed his feet in melted load.—
He dropped melted wax on his tongue in
such quantity as to allow the impression
ofa seal tone taken of it. He concluded
his performances by eating a greater quan
tity ofa lighted torch than the company
were willing to allow him; aud although
he did not jnhale the vapors of arsenic, or
sulphuric-acid, according to the iast arti
cle in his.bill ut wonders, yet, from what
lie did in execution of his engagement, we
augur well of his ability to perform the re
mainder- ’One of our greatest chemists
we are told, tried the experiment of re
maiding tor several minutes in an oven
heated to such ■’’degree as to prepare <
beef steak; but Mr. Chabert, vye are as
-ured, has performed .a greater Jete, en
tering the lists with a leg of mutton, and
astonishing the Parisian philosophers, by
allowing himsel f to be shut up with it till
it was .completely baked.—London paper

the following extracts- The letter is dat

and was brought to Savannah July 6, by an
independent Vcnezuelian schooner:
«‘.Ther,p is, says the writer, a noble spi

squadron, which consists of the Victoria,
