of this most important and felicitous event we do
not feel collea upon to enter. They will, of

to one of diem we hnvo nlrendy olluded. Next
to the iteelih mid safety ofthe royal mother and
her offspring, the subject of grutulatiou is the tx-
cl union of.die •* bold, bad man” of Hanover.
In order ito mnku.assurance doubly sure, we
trust dint in dim time an heir male will crown
tlm royal nuptials, for although we had no reason
hitherto to regret tho accession of female sover

however, be -dtaukfiil for tho good we have, nud
for the evil-we 'have emraped. and bless that ull
gracious Providence which has protected the

offspring to bless, we trust a nation’s Jropes.
It is worthy -of remark, by wayof example to
mothers or humbler station, or those who are
likely to become so, as well as highly to dm-cred-
it of Urn good sense and proper feeling of the
Queen, that whilst avoiding ony excoss ofexer-
tion.she has taken regular exercise down nhnost

The principal fire was directed ngain*t the

At Trieste, on the 22d nil., this news caused a
great sensation. The allied troops found im
mense quantities of ammunition and proviiions
in the fortress. .It is surprising that the Egyptian
troops, who might have employed tlm night of
the-3d in saving the public treasure, neglected to
do on. There wasut Acre n sum of two millions

The Natioiiidof the 30th ult. states that Paris
has resembled a strong place infested by the

Election on First Monday in January.
O* We refer our readers to the advertisement
of Mr. F. Coox. We trust that a sufficient num
ber ofsubscribers will be obtained in order to in
sure to the public die grafificatlon ofthe propos
ed musical treat. It is to be regretted that musi
cal entertainments are not of more frequent oc
currence among us. Tbe pleasure of listening
to good music is one ofthe few which do not pall
upon file taste by repetition. A stranger arriving
in this town at the bcginntng of last summer
would bn able to pronounce with the most per
fect certainty that operatic entertainments had
been given here—even if he were uot informed
ofthe fact. The effects were every where visi
ble. Even file negroes in the street, while nt
their daily labor, are in the habit of singing nnd
whistling some ofthe choice airsofBeUini, many
of them with tolerable correctness.
It will be seen that a list of one hundred sub
scribers must be obtained before a concert can
be given. Subscription fist at Dr. Koch’s Piano
Forte and music school.
defenders ofthe Fort, and frotn thoncconntwhich
wo read, we suppose that die destruction caused
by tho blowing uprof the magaxii.o must have
been the iminodiutoocmxe of the surrender, as the
firing hnd made no breech in the walls of the
town. Many of tiro-shells thrown from the fleet
it is stated, did not take effect. The distal co nt
which they were lhrowmvn*400flyards(24 miles)
the fuses being cut too short for so greatu dis
tance, so llint tho shell* exploded before they fell
into tho town.
A shell from the Gorgon steam ship caused
the explosion of tho magazine. The destruction
was tremendous. An area of about two acres
was cleared hy it, causing it to nppear as though
a quarry hud been worked on the spot.
The attacking party suffered but little injury,
white the defenders of the town experienced a
loss ofuear 3000 persons killed and wounded.-—
The scene within the walls aficr the eupture, is
described as truly frightful—tho town being filled
will) disfigured corpses, while on every side were
persons of both sexes dying from their wounds
with-no friendly nidal hand, and frantic womnn
tearing their lioir and howling-most piteously,
while they endeavored to seckout their husbands
aud rclutivcs.
The loss ofthe Allies is stated at only 18 killed
and 42 wounded, that of the Egyptians at 2000
killed hy the explosion of Uie magazine, 300 kilt
ed on fiie ramparts, wounded unknown, and
3000 prisoners. Some 350 pieces of ordnance
of various descriptions, orduauce stores, specie,
&c., have fallen into the hands ofthe victors.
The Pacha of Egypt seems to be at last hum
bled. lie has expressed his intention of surren
dering the Snltau’s fleet, of which he has kept
possession thus far, and of confiuing himself to
the Pachalick of Egppt. lie has recalled his ar
my froni) Syria, and hi4 sou Ibrahim is concen
trating his battalions preparatory to a retreat
upon Egypt. By die very last advices, a Grand
Council was si.ting, which would not fail to ap
prove the now policy of the Pacha.
The remains ofthe Emperor Napoleon have
arrived in the frigate Belle Pauls, at Cherbourg.
Immense preparations ofthe most magnificent
description were making in Paris for their re
ception. The good people of Rouen have sig
nified their intention of-detuining them some 24
hours. The French Government have evidently
some apprehensions of n cmeutc. Paris is filled
with troops. It was Chateaubriand who said in
the Frenoh Chambers, soon after-the final ban
ishment of the great Emperor, that the grey coat
of Napoleon hung on a pole at Brest, would
cause mure revolutionary movement, than any
living mnu in France could produce. The man
ifestation of French-feeling during fiie coming
ceremonies, will be of fiie most intense descrip
tion—whether it will go beyond the limits of
overpowering national grief, is perhaps question
able.

the Acadia, brought the dcupatches announcing
the fact. The Dulchend Belgium Governments
were about to follow the example of Eugland.
By fiie advices brought by tho Acadia, it appears
that Gen. Hamilton has not yet succeeded in
obtaining a loan. W’e presume he will stand a
better chance of success now that the Indepen
dence of the young Republic is recognized by
those countries where he expects to obtain loans.
The recognition coutuins, we understand, a

Mexican debt- — . -

Divisions 'of the Muscles or the Ete
for £tabi«mus oft Squinting.—Through’the
attention ofa friend, wo have received tlm
Boat in Medical and Surgical-Journal for De
cember, TrOtAaiuiiig n statement given by Dr.
J. H. Dix of that city, of his operations for
the euro of squiuting, by the] divisions of flte
muscle of the eye. A repyrt of six cases is
given by him; in one case, both eyes squinted,
and iu another, (an accouut of which we sub
join) it was ueccssary to divide two muscles be
fore the eye could be brought into its natural po
sition. The operation occupiesbut two or three
uiiuutcs in its performance, is attended with very
little pain or inflammation, aud the improvement
in appearance and vision, is immediate, to say
nothing of the satisfaction of the patient thus sud
denly enabled to look his friends in the face.
Dr. Dix, we are infoYmed, was fiie first lo per;
form the operation in this country, and his suc
cess bus been perfect. We advise our political
opponents wh</find it so difficult to see straight
in this age of reform, and all others interested, to
visit Boston and have their eyes adjusted.
Division qf the Internal Rectus and Superior Ob-
lique.
Oct. 2'J, 1840. Wut. Augustus 8. ret. 18, of
Salem, when 4 years of age had an inflamma
tion ofthe right eye, during which theevowas
lor u long time kept bandaged, and acquired
a strabismus cutivergens- Now file eye is so fur
turned inward as ordinarily to conceal nut only
fiie pupil, hut nearly the whole ofthe cornea, it
being m short the most decided inversion I have
ever seen. Virion with this eye is exceedingly
indistinct,patientutfiruiiug, uttiret,that it was
blind. Ou further investigation, it seems that he
can just descent file outlines of lurge objects
withthiseye, ut the distance of six leet. The
loss of vision is partly to ba accounted for 'by u
slight opacity 011 the upper part uf the cornea,
but probably depends much more ou the entire
disuse of the eye fourteen years. He can, hy
un efi'ort ofthe will, turn it out nearly in from,
but cannot retain it there more than a few se
conds. It was therefore necessary to evert it by
uieuns of the double hook, fiie operation being
hi every respect like that in the first case. Dr*.
Cbanning, l'litnam, Morrill and Hooper, and Dr.
Gustine of New Orleans, were present. Patient
fainted us soon as the division of the rectus
musele- w«t» completed. On Ins recovery the
eye was found to bo considerably less turned,
but still iioutraigbi. tho aquiut being perhaps di
minished one half. WiUi the approbation of
the gentlemen present, I then proposed the divis
ion of fiie superior oblique muscle, to which the
patient assented. This was easily accomplished,
without enlarging file incision or usiug lit
double hook, the eye being now sufficiently ever
ted by file voluntary effort of tho patient to bring
fiie ineision fairly in view. Pussiug the blunt
hook under the conjunctiva at the upper extremi
ty of the incision, it won readily brought round
the tendon of the superior oblique, bringing it
fairly into view, so us to be divided with tho
scissors. The eye immediately inclined slightly
outward. He bus still the power of turning it u
little inward. A compresj wet with cold water

ficieully proniineut to give him uneasiness or to

increased ability of seeing objects on his right
by the aid of this eye, the vision of which he
dunks is improving. He is, however, obliged
to cover it when exposed to astrong light, on in
tolerance which must be owing to the complied
absance of it, and will gradually abate. Tho eye

AWFUL EXPLOSION.
An entirebuilt/tng demolished.—Yesterday mor
ning between six and seven o’clock, a most ter
rific explosion took place by die bursting of the
steam boiler in tho paper manufactory of Mr. Ga
briel Moore, situated ill the upper part ofthe dis-
trict'of Kensington, between Edward and Lydia
streets, and School and William streets, which
demolished nud laid iu one mass of ruins the
entire building, which was partly brick and frame,
two or three stodesbigh. Tbe accident is attri
buted to the filling up of the feeding pipe with n
hard deposite wljirli prevented the water from
flowing into the boiler. At the time ofthe explo
sion, the engineer, Enoch Garsido, and John
Grant, machine engineer, were in the building
preparing for a day's work by attempting to get
up fiie steam, both ofwhoni were dreadfully smI*
ded and otherwise injured by the fulling of the
building upon nud around them. Mr. Gruut
had one or both ofh's legs broken,—his situation
is considered dangerous.
Mr. Moore hiutjulf was hurt by n large pieco
ofthe building fulling upon his bend whilesland-
ing in the yard—ss[posed to have fractured his
skull. The boiler, which wns situated in the
basorartit ofthe bniHing, was futccd upward,
and changing it* direction, was forced through
the back wall of an adjoining two story brick
house, a distance of about 40 or 50 feet front its
position in the factory. The holler forced its
way some ten feet into the' bed room of this
house, knocking away a staircase, nnd scatter
ing large fragments of hoards and brick upon a
b«il, from which three children hnd just arisen,
who very fortunately escaped serious injury uud
perhaps death. Fonuuutely at the time there
were but two of the bands ui the building, the
number usually employed is somewhere about
twenty. One of the. workmen was within a
few yards of fiie building ut the moment itfell iu
ruins before him, The concussion was tremen
dous, shattering ull the houses in the immediate
virility, and felt for a great distance around the
neighborhood. -Mr. Moore was an industrious
man nnd will feel the loss severely, which can
not ho less than ten thousand dollars. lie is
confined to his bed from the injuries received.
The oilier two nteu were soon dug from among
theruiui.and may possibly ireoover. ulthough
the nature and extent ofthe injuries make it ex
tremely doubtful. It is certainly a miracle that
iu such u terrible disaster no lives were lost.

On the 11th instant n trial for seduction was had

ST. JOSEPH, DEC. lC.—CottoU—There has
lately been a riao in the Chattahoochee river and the
boots cotac down from‘Columbus and intermediate
points Withodt difficulty, though bringing but little
cotton. The crop tributary to that river will fall abort
of tho last ycnr'a from 30 to 50 per ct, nnd we do not
'estimate, tuatthe shipment from Uiw port aud Apala
chicola together will exceed seventy thousand baits.
APALACHICOLA, DEC. 10—Since our last
there lias appeared some alielit animation in the Cot-
tun marketf and sales nre daily made at 7 a 9 cents.—
Still we are dull, dull, dull,and can furnish no item
of uews in the rotum line, which can prove of interest
to our country friends.
Freights are brisk nt Jc to New York. Our Money
Market knows no change—specie is at a premium of 5
per cent above Georgia money—Georgia 20 percent
above Florida, aud so on upon the prmcipleof sub
traction, until it takes a wise man tu know whether
lie has any money or not.
MOBILE, DEC. 93,...Cotton.—The arrivals sirtco
the 16th inst. have been 6681 bales, aud exported
3700 bales, which leaves on hand and on ship board
not cleared, a stock of 20777-bales.
The cotton market throughout the week has been
characterized by great dullness, holders cdhering to
their former pretensions, and buyers, generally,with
drawing as much as possible from the market. The
demand, however, for the finer grades of cotton ’has
continued preuy good, and the operations qf the week
were mostly coutiifl-d to those descriptions which
were taken for Northern nnd Eastern manufactories.
In lbs lower grades, wljich are mostly wanted for
the English market, very little has been done, the
views of buyers being considered entirely mo high
for tbe filling of orders. *
The sales ofthe week amount only to 1800 bales,
generally within the range of our last quotations.—
We, however, note among the sales two or three
choice lots which brought 11 cents per lb. the quality
of which is considered mnch better than any previ
ously brought to umtket this season. The stock on
sale is fully 7000 bales.
The week closes with a downward tendency—-In
fact some dealers contend that jc has been lost on
some grades uince our last review. It is certain that
in one instance at least cotton could have been bought
yesterday at rules which had been refused two 'or
three days before.

Rice.—The sclir Aid, from Savannah, brought 173
whole and 15 half tierces, which we learnt* offered

Freights.—To European ports freights continue ex
tremely dull, nothing having been dune since ourlast

cotton taken at the former rate jd to complete car

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 4.—The apprehensions of a
wuj- with Franca having in a great measure passed
away and the Foreign Exchanges somewhat improv
ed, tbe pressure in the Money Market ispat-.ially
relieved, and consequently there is less gloom and de
pression in the manufacturing districts than prevail
ed a few week ago. The amendment in monetary
affairs in ns yet, however, inconsiderable.
Since our last Circular, of 14th ult., until the lost
few days, we have hnd an exceedingly dull nnd lan
guid Cotton market, and though the decline, general
ly speaking, did not exceed jd per lb.* it would not
have been possible, to sell largely without submitting
to a reduction. For the last louror five days, howev-
er> we have had a lair steady demalid from dealers
a’idconsutnmers,givinginoru firmness to the market,
nnd the above depression has been nearly or qnite
recovered; with the exception ofthe better qualities,
v/hivli continue very heavy; indeed it is utmost irn-
S ossiblc to effect sales above 6jd for any description,
'air Upland may be quoted 5| a 5j, and lair Orleans
te Mobile 6 a OJd—while the lowest quotation for
any merchantable American Cotton is 5d per lb. The
chief business is from 5j to 5|. The tales for the
week ending20th ult. were 17766 bale r flint ending
27th ult.they were 19,359 bales, am. .or live days
last evening, they amounted to 25,590 bales. Ofthe
latter 4800 were Upland, ut5a(ij; 10,856 Orleans,
at 5 a 715 COCO Alabam.1 and Mobile, at 5 a flj; and.
170 Hen Island at 14 a 90 per lb. About 3000 bales
have been taken on speculation the last few days,
previous to which tlm speculative demand had been
suspended; it has now again ceased, and there is
more Cutton offering than for some days past, the
market appearing less buoyant. The imports into
Liverpool since the 1st of January is 1,378,000 bates,
against 983,000 in the saino period last snason; the
supply from the United States is 1,140,000, being on
increase of376,000 bnlesi Tho stock in this port is
extraordinarily heavy for tho season, being about
430,000 bales, ugninst 945,000 at the same period las
