Navigation of the Rio Grande. —The Brownsville Sentinel contains some details of interest about the navigation of this river, in support of the claims to the consideration of Government in clearing out its channel. The river is at present navigated by steamboats to the distance of about 500 miles, and with the re moval of a very few obstructions it might be rendered navigable to an unknown extent. About six months since an expedition was fitted outunderthe direction of Maj. W. W. Chap man, U. S. Quartermaster for that military de partment, for the purpose of exploring the Up per Rio Grande, and testing its practicability for navigation, through this cannel. The inquiry was about the supply of the upper military sta tions with stores and munitions. A keel-boat was constructed, and put t under command of llarry Love, a man conspicuous during the re cent war,for his feats as a daring express-rider, and who has also had much experience as a boatman. This boat drew 22 inches when loa ded, and with this depth she ascended the river to Eagle Pass, two or three hundred miles above its present navigable terminus. Mr. L. on his return, reported that there are only two places in the river where any serious impedimet is of fered to its free navigation, as far up at least as ho had been. There are two points in the river that must be opened before they can be passed in low stages of water —one of these, opposite or near Guerrero, a town situated on the Mexi can side of the stream, and the other a short dis tance below Ragle Pass, where there is at pres ent an American military station. Mr. Love succeeded it, taking his boat safely over both these rapids, and represents that a small appro priation would open the river to steamboat navi gation as far up even as El Paso del .Norte and Santa Fe. An appropriation for clearing out the river has been recommended by Sr. Mnnchaca, a deputy to the State Legislature of Tamauli pas, to the attention of the Mexican Govern ment. With a small amount, the people of that region would, in the sanguine calculation of the Sentinel, he put into possession of another navigable stream second in extent only to the mighty Mississippi. It would create new mar kets in the adjoining Mexican States and our own newly acquired possessions, for an immense amount of our productions. The long and ar. duous overland travel which hasheretofore been carried on from St. Louis, Mo., would be done away with, and the merchants in those distant regions would have their goods transported to their very doors, in the light-draught boats that would he constructed to run on the Itio Grande. O’From the Report of the Commissioner of the General Land office, it appears that during the past year upwards of six millions of acres of land were advertised for sale, and more than six and a half millions are prepared for market, a great part of which will be proclaimed during the ensuing year. The Report show s that the quantity of land disposed of in 1847 by warrants equivalent to cash, amounts to 03,5110,1134,008, and in 1849, to 05,482,815 26. In the first three months of 1843, it amounted to $.11,037,1 G 0,30, and in the first three months of 1840, it amounts to 04,297,737,26 —showing that the increase in the amount of land disposed of keeps pace with the increase of population and the consequent wants of the community. Remarkable River. —The Florida Sentinel contains an account of the examination by a committee of scientific gentlemen of the river Wacissa, in Florida, with a view of testing its capacity for a water power for manufacturing purposes, and the practicability of connecting it with the St. Murks by a canal. They found water at the head of the river thirty-two feet above high water in the St. Marks, at Newport The Sentinel describes the Wacissa river as one of the natural curiosities almost peculiar to Florida. It takes its rise, like Wakulla, in springs of tremendous volume, forming an im mense basin with hold shores, from which it runs in a S. S. E. direction, in a deep and broad 6trpam, about fourteen miles, to a swamp where most of it disappears through a subteranean channel, by which it is discharged into the Gulf. This river is said to contain a greater volume of water than the Potomac or Jumes River, and like all rivers having a similar rise in Florida, it is affected neither by drought or fresh, afford ing one steady, uniform and unvarying current all the year. Anv conceivable amount of water power can be obtained by means of the canal proposed, and it will not only be unfailing but unvarying. The committee arc of opinion that more than ten times the water power of Lowell ,- an be found there at a small expense. Indiana and the Wilmot Proniso.—lnstruc tions. Indiana'!) two Senators in Congress — Messrs. Whitcomb and Bright—it will be seen by the following, are “instructed” on the “Pro viso" subject. A few days before adjourning, the following joint resolution passed both houses of the legislature and is doubtless now on its way to Washington : “Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the Slate of Indiana, That our Senators in Con gress be instructed, and our Representatives re vested, so to cast their votes, and exert their influence, as to have ingrafted upon any bill that ujay be passed for the organization of the terri l°ry recently acquired from Mexico, a provision •or ever excluding from such territory, slavery and voluntary servitude, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes, whereof the party has been duly convicted.” I hey both, we believe, as democrats, ac knowledge the doctrine of “ instructionMr. ri ght, though from ali ce State, is said to he a slaveholder. fi| 'foiiTF.n Houses. —The special committee l ' ie Mew York Common Council, to whom as relorred the presentment of the Grand Jury 111 '"Sard to slaughter houses, have reported that l '' e,c ‘‘stabiishmenfs are not ■ soup en| disease, "1 , l* , 'rcforo that it is not expedient to interfere their existent e A committee of the f 'l | C ,,c rs state that there . ah mt 1600 persons “wing this hu ini-a m i t city, and yet only r °u deaths by cholera occurred among them 1,, g *l'" p ist summer Canada. —lt will be seen by the following Telegraphic dispatch to the Baltimore Sun, da ted at Toronto, (Canada,) on the first of Februa. ry, that England approves of the course of Lord Elgin. The dispatch says : “It is known tha t Lord Elgin lias recieved a despatch from Earl Gray, urging him in the strongest terms to use every means in his power to suppress the an nexation movement. lie also thanks him for what has already been done ; and by way ofen courageincnt, dclares that so long as any por tion of the Canadian people are desirous of maintaining their present connection with the mother country, will be supported by the whole power, blood and treasure of England. The following is the official dispatch alluded to above, received by Lord Elgin from the Home Government: Downing Street, London, Jan. 9, 1850. Mv Lord —l have to acknowledge your dis patches of the dates and numbers quoted in the margin. * * • * * * * It lias afforded her Majesty great satisfaction to receive these expressions of that loyalty and attachment to the Britisli Crown which she trusts is generally felt by her Canadian subjects. V\ itli regard to the people of Canada, in favor of severing the province from the British dom inions, for the purpose of annexation to the U nited States, which forms the subject of three of these dispatches, I have to inform you that her Majesty approves ofyour having dismissed from her service those who have signed the document, which is scarcely short of treasonable in its char acter. Her Majesty confidently relies on the loyalty of the great majority of her Canadian subjects, and she has therefore determined to exert all the authority that belongs to her for the purpose of maintaining the connection ofCanada with this Government,being persuaded that the perman ence of that connection is highly advantageous to both. Your Lordship will therefore understand that you are commanded by her .Majesty to resist, to the utmost of your power, any attempt which may be made to bring about the separation of Canada from the British dominions, and to mark in the strongest manner her Majesty’s displeas ure with all those who may, directly or indirect ly, encourage such a design ; and if any attempt of this kind should take such a form that those are guilty ofit may, according to such advice as you may receive from your law advisers, be made responsible for their conduct in a court of justice, you will not fail to tliakc the necessary measures for bringing them to account.

Cotton. —The London Times, at the close of a long article upon the consumption and price of Cotton at different periods, sums up the evi dence before it as follows : Whilst th e increase in the growth of Cotton is supposed to he only three per cent, annually, the consumption is allowed to have attained a much higher ratio - And hence we may rea sonably infer, looking to the consolidation of or der on the continent, and to the supply of Cot ton to he expected, not only that the present quotations of this article are moderate, but that unless vve arc grossly deceived in the estimates of the crop from the United States and otiier countries, our present prices are based upon a firm and solid foundation, and that the coming year is, from the general aspect of the commer cial and political world, likely to be one of in dividual and general prosperity. The Huntington Slave Case. —This case lias been introduced in the debate in the United States Senate on the fugitive slave hill. The Huntington Globe notices the case of Mr. Little as follows ; The Governor of Maryland has taken in hand the case of Jonathan Little, who was arrested and imprisoned in our county jail in October last, on a charge of kidnapping. Hon. Albert Constable, appointed by the Governor of Mary land as counsel for Mr. Little, and his witnes ses, arrived here on Saturday and Sunday lasi, under the impression that our January term of court would commence on yesterday. Yesterday afternoon 01,000 hail was entered for the appearance of Mr. Little at the April term. Mr. Little is now at liberty. The trial of Mr. Little w ill be an enteresling and impor tant one. Patriotic Sentiments. — We give below, the close of a speech recently delivered in the House of Representatives by Mr. McDowell, of Vir ginia,upon the slave controversy. The passage has been much and justly admired : It is said, sir, that at some dark hour of onr revolutionary contest, when army after army had been lost, when dispirited, beaten, wretch ed, the heart of the boldest and most faithful died within them, and all, for an instant, seemed conquered except the unconquerable soul of our father-chief, it is said that at that moment,rising above all the auguries around him and bouyed up by the inspiration of his immortal work for ail trials it could bring, lie roused anew the sun- ken spirits of his associations by this confident and daring declaration : “Strip me (said he) of the dejected and suffering remnant of my army —take from me all that I have left—leave me but a banner, give me but the means to plant it upon the mountains of West Augusta, and I will yet draw around me the men who will lift up their bleeding country from the dust, and set her free.” Give to me,” who am a son and representative here of that same W est Augusta, give to me as a banner the propitious measure I have endeavored to support, help me to plant it upon this mountain top of our national power, and the land of Washington, undivided and un broken, will he our land, and the land of our children’s children forever. Ho help me to do this at tliia. hour, and, generations hence, some of the South, standing where I stand, in the same honored Hall, and in the midst of our le gitimate successors, will bless and praise, and thank God, that he, too, can say of them, as I of you, and of all around me : These, these, are ray brethren, and this, this, oh this, too, is my country Means ok Arresting the fatai. Effects of Chroloform. —An eminent Surgeon of France relates two cases in which the inhalation of Chroloform proved nearly fatal. lie, however, succeeded in reviving bis patients, after all ordi nary means had failed, by placing his mouth upon theirs, and forcibly insufflating the lungs by rapiil aspirations and expirations.

For myself, I do not hesitate to sav, that I should look upon the dissolution of the Union as the greatest calamity that could befal us; but that, great as this calamity would be, 1 am certain there is not one of our citizens who would be willing, for a moment, to weigh it in the balance against the dishonor of submission. Under th esc circumstances, concurring in the patriotic views of my predecessor, I deem it my duty, as the chief magistrate of one of the States, w hose vital interests are called in question, by the blindness of prejudice and lawlessness of fac tion, to invite your attention to the resolves of the people of Mississippi, and to snggest to you the expediency of Louisiana's co-operating with them, in an expression of sentiments, firm, de termined and unmistakeable, at the proposed convention, to be held at Nashville, in June next." Indian Coi’ncil. —The Syracuse Journal says that a series of Indian Councils have been held daily at the Onontlago Castle for the p»st fort night. On Friday, 25th of January, says the writer, was celebrated the important rite of sac rificing the White Dog! The customary victim was immolated on a Gaining altar, with all the formality and circumstance of ancient usage among the Iroquois, in presence of a pagan por tion of the nation, and numerous white persons, spectators. On Tuesday last, this crowning festival of the Indian year, after a continuance of nine days, was closed with the exciting and wonderful ceremony of the War Dance. These observances are continued in the midst of a Christian community with all the reverence, solemnity, and zeal of ancient times with a punctuality and devotion which shows the regard these people have for the institutions of their fathers, and with what tenacity they still cling to their ancient customs. Facts Relative to Eating Sugar. —The French people are great eaters of Sugar, always carrying some of it about with them in their pockets and reticules, and generally putting five or six large lumps into each cup of coffee. M. Chessat reports that sugar, when used as the exclusive or principal article of diet, produces quite opposite effects in some persons, according to the differences in their system ; for, w hile it fattens some, it creates bile which induces a diarrhoea and a wasting of the solids in other persons. The celebrated Bolivar had, by fatigue and privations, so injured the tone of his stomach, that he was unable at times to take any other food than sugar, which, in his case, was easy of digestion. His personal friends assure us that in some of iiis lust campaigns iic lived for weeks together upon sugar alone as a solid, with pure water as a liquid; but. probably, in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, this diet would soon have brought tho person adopting it to his grave; for, on those whose digestion is feeble, a large or exclusive allowance of sugar adds to their grievance, be cause the excess of nutriment not being gener ally absorbed by their weakened system, becomes converted to bile, and causes great debility and wasting of the body. In seventeen experiments made oil dogs, M. Chossat observed that, when the sugar diet fattened them, there was a gener al tendency to constipation weanvvhile; and,on the contrary, when it produced an excess of bile in other dogs, their bowels were relaxed. Why English children suffer in their digestion after eating largely’ of sugar-plums, comfits, &c.,is chiefly owing, however, to those delicacies be ing composeJ of the refuse of starch-works, mixed with plaster of Paris, pipe-clay, or chalk, and having, indeed, as little sugar as will suffice to give them a palatable sweetness, and they are often colored with gamboge, and sometimes with red lead, verdigris, and other mineral poisons. Everywhere, the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the reptiles, the fish and insects, are found to have a great liking for sugar and honey. Mr. Martin says he has tamed the most savage and vicious horses with sugar, and has seen the most ferocious animals domesticated by being partly fed upon it. The tamers of lions and ti gers owe their power over them chiefly to a ju dicious use of sugar and other sorts of sweets, and also of lavender water, and various other perfumes, of which feline animals arc remarka bly fond. In the sugar season, in the West In dies, the horses, and cattle soon acquire plump, ness and strength by partaking of the leavings of the sugar canes, after the manufacturer lias done with them. In Cochin-China, the ele phants, buffaloes, and horses are all fattened with sugar. We learn from the “ Memoirs op l>r. Edw. Cartwright,” (16-13,) that ingenious man used to fatten sheep on sugar. To birds this diet proves so nourishing, that the suppliers of the European poultry markets find that sugar, along with hemp seed and boiled wheat, will greatly fatten ruffs and reeves in the space of a fortnight. ffj 3 It has recently been decided in one of the English courts, that payment of a bank check may be stoped by the drawer at any time before pay ment, and that it is no security to any third party who may bold it,as they can neither pro ceed against the hanker or drawer.

McDonald, Hon. C. B. Strong and O. C. Gib sox, Esq. On Wednesday morning the Committee by Judge Cole, reported the following Preamble and Resolutions : Willi aIV Hf.n rv Anderson having departed j this life since the last Term of this Court, for j this District, vve embrace the first opportunity 1 to express our profound and heart felt respect for the memory of our young and gifted brother. Six months ago, Mr. Anderson appeared be fore this Court, at Decatur, buoyant with hope and health, and in possession of all bis bodily and mental powers, ready to compete with the ablest in the glorious struggle for intellectual superiority;—he is now a clod of the valley, a tenant of the cold and cheerless grave ! What a commentary on the value of human pursuits and human objects ! What a lesson to iiis sur vivors, on the frail tenure of earthly existence, and the baseless structure of all earthly hopes and earthly greatness. Mr. Anderson was born and educated in Vir ginia, and came to this City a little more than a 1 year ago, and commenced the practice of law I with the qiost flattering prospects. Nature had j gifted him with a fine and commanding person, j and a mind at once clear, comprehensive and energetic, which lie had carefully cultivated, I and stored with a fund of professional and gener- . al knowledge —ln his disposition, he was trank, friendly and sociable; in bis intcrcouse with the world, he was in all respects the finished gentle man. In his family, he was most exemplary, and all that a fond and affectionate husband and brother could be. — No wonder, then that the i early and unexpected deatli of such a man, should electrify a whole community, and should j be most deeply deplored; it would ho mat- j terof surprise if it were not so. Indifference and apathy, at such an event, would mark with 1 a foul blot, the moral sense and feeling of any ! community. To his bereaved wife, bis death is I truly irreparable ; in the apparent enjoyment of j robust health, and with the prospect of many years of domestic happiness, he is suddenly seiz- i ed with the fatal malady that snatches him from her embrace, and transfers him to an early grave, hut as wc hope and believe, to a brighter and happier world. Most sincerely do we sympathize with the mourning relatives of our deceased brother.— ■ Their grief can now admit of little consolation —time alone can assuage it—a resigned submis sion to the inscrutable but unerring decrees of an overruling Providence, can alone mitigate its poignancy ; the husband and friend lias descend ed to the tomb at the threshold of his usefulness, but in the full meridian of his talents, leaving to them,as a rich inheritance, a name without a stain, and a character of superior knowledge as a lawyer, and exalted worth as a man. Re solved, Therefore, that we deeply deplore the early death of our young and much esteemed brother William Henry Anderson. Resolved, That we sincerely condole with tho bereaved wife and family of our deceased brother. Resolved, That for the purpose of rendering merited honor to his memory, and of perpetua ting, as far as it is possible to perpetuate, this expression of love and respect for our deceased brother; we will wear the usual badge of mourn ing for thirty days, and request the Court to en ter these proceedings on its records, and transmit a copy to his family. After the Report had been read and adopted’ Judge Lumpkin responded to them, in behalf of tho Court, in his usual happy and felicitous stvle. TO.MO CIIICCHI DIVISION, ) Macon, Feb. 11, 1650. J Officers and Brothers. —The Committee appointed to draft Resolutions expressive of the sense of this Division on receiving intelligence ofthe death of brother W. li. Anderson, res- j pectfully report the following preamble and 1 iit’Huiiiiiuiis : Whereas, it lias pleased Almighty God in the dispensation of his providence, to remove from our circle, by death, our beloved brother, W. 11. Anderson, and although prevented from sharing the vigils of his dying couch and of paying the last sad duties to his mortal remains, we cherish a lively recollection of his many virtues as a brother and friend, and mingle our sorrows w ith those of his bereaved widow and friends, looking to the general resurrection of those “who die in tile Lord,” to be again united by bonds more lasting than those of this transitory life. Therefore Resolved, That in the death of bro ther \V. 11. Anderson, this Division lias sustain ed a „reat loss, and the Order has been deprived of one ofits brightest ornaments and most zeal ous advocates. Resolved, That as a mark of our high esteem and respect foi the memory of our brother we will clotheour Hall m black, and wear ourselves, the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That a Leaf in our Record Book be dedicated to his memory. Resolved, That a copy ofthe above preamble and Resolutions be transmitted to the Widow of our deceased Brother ; and that the gazettes ofthe city be requested to publish the same. Submitted in Love, Purity and Fidelity. W. S WILLIFORD,) A. R. FREEMAN, > Committee It. B. LESTER, > Sugar Cane. —The St. Augustine Ancient City, of the 26th ultimo, says : We have recciv cd «r.d now hsvc in cur office, wlicre the curi. pus are desired to examine it, a remarkably fine specimen of the Sugar Cane. It has 31 joints and measures 16 in length and has tasscllcd. This cane is from a crop of canc planted by our enterprising fellew citizen, Capt. Hanliam, on the margin of the Sebastian River near the bridge and which will yield, the Captain informs us, at least two hlids. to the acre. The most remarkable circumstance in refer ence to this crop of cane is, that it is an experi ment of Capt. Ilanhains to test the quality of our pine lands covered with the saw palmetto, apparently the most barren and unpromising 1 soil of any. The land was prepared by extract ing the palmettos by an ingenious invention op the Captains, and correcting the sourness of the soil with lime. The experiment has proved en tirely successful and demonstrates the fact, that there is probably no description of land in Flori da that will no*, with sufficient and proper man agement, yield the most abundant crop of sugar. It may be added that the saw palmetto thus re moved as nuisance contains as large a proportion of tannin as the best English Oak hark, and it is believed it will bocome a profitable article of exportation at no very remote period. Lard and Oil Manufacture. —There are upwards of thirty large establishments in Cin cinnati employed in the manufacture of lard oii, which is accomplished by divesting the lard ofj one of its constituent parts —stearins. The larg est ofthese, whose operations are probably more | extensive than any other in the United States,: has manufactured heretofore into lard oil and stearine 140,000 pounds monthly, all the year! round. It is calculated that 11,000,000 pounds] oflard will be run into lard oil this year, two- ! sevenths of which aggregate will nmko stearine, the residue oil, say about 24,000 barrels of 42 gallons each. Lard oil, besides being sold for what it actually is, is also used for adulterating sperm oil, and in France serves to materially re. duce the cost of olive oil, the skill of the French chemists enabling them to incorperate from sixty to seventy percent, oflard with that of the olive. Improvement in Telegraphing. —A new improvement is announced by on accomplished operator, in which he is enabled to control two recording pens at another station, working them independently or together, at will, with a sin gle wire. This enables him to form an alphabet with a double row of dots and lines, in such a manner that all the letters are of equal length and none of tliam exceeding the length of3 dots. This uniformity obviates the chief difficulty which has heretofore been experienced in the application of a key-board to telegraphs. The inventor believes, that with a proper machine for working it, (which is now being construct ed) from 200 to 300 letters a minute can be re corded with ease and mathematical correct- Light of the Glow-Worm.— That the glow worm emits her light to lure her lover to her power is but a poetic fiction ; for the insec l shines in infant state, in that of tho larva, and when in its attrelian condition. It appears from the observations of naturalists that these insects never exhibit their light without some motion of the body or legs ; from this it would seem that the phosphorescence was dependent upon sorno nervous action, regulated at pleasure by the insect, for it certainly has the power of ob scuring it entirely. If the glow-worm is crush ed, and the hands or face are rubbed with it, luminous slreuks, similar to those produced by phosphorus, appear. They shine with greatly increased brilliancy in oxygon gas and in nitrous oxide. From these facts, (asks Mr. Hunt, in his charming work, entitled ‘The Poetry of Science,’ just published,) may we uot infer that the pro cess by which this luminosity is produced, what ever tt may be, has a strong resemhluncc to that of respiration ? Greasing Carriage Wheels. —Tho best composition that can be prepared to relieve car riage wheels and machinery from friction, is composed of lard, wheat flour, and black lead, (plumbago.) The lard is to he melted over u gentle fire, and the other ingredients—equal in in weight—may bo added, till tile composition is brought to a consistence of common paste without raising the heal near a boiling point. One trial of the paste will satisfy any one of its j superior quality. GRAND EXHIBITION! New i’liisinplis of American Art.
