L U D1 MAGiSTEK. DALL ROOM TACTICS. It is really surprising that in these march of intellect times, when uselul information is ofl'ered, propounded _ ami promulgated in a thousand shapes, no one hair important trial, which was to take place at Tarachc, on thought of opening a school for the acquisition of a most valuable brunch of human knowledge, which for want of a belter name, 1 have denominated as above. Every one knows, or ought to kjlow, that a ball room is a bona Jute mart for the disposal of that valuable commodity, woman; that a knowledge of the goods is first acquired there, and that many a bargain is struck alter the whirling of a waltz or the trotting of a gullo- jiade. The boil room is indeed a hwaii.y of far higher moment than the country at large is apt"to imagine.— To simple country folks-, a ball retain is nothing more Ilian a bail room; and a dance is merely a.uaiicc, and . so forih: preposterous error! To the bull room three- .Fourths of the guests repair with certain, settled views, and plans of operation iu their wise noddles. TJic o- tiier remaining fourth may be divided into the martyrs ami tlic i.'ttsu tines. The martyrs arc Those w ho go because they cannot help themselves—they must go,'and so they go. The dcssunvrca, oifidlers, are those who simply go oHcill time, and became they have nothing else to do. Few persons attend a hall room for the mere sake of passing a few hours in social intercourse. The mo tives for giving d.mcing parties arc tiie following: Far ties are given tor the sake of vanity and ostentation should no other very imperative interest counsel such a course. The danring party, world may be divided into tlic party given and party peers; both ore .influenced by much the saute ..... tves, interest and *aui‘.y, We sub join a correct list of both classes l'ARTY GIVERS. 1.

All these may be classed iu tiie general denomination of crammers and sieolhirs. ft. Young ladies go to parties to ratcb a good liws- .band -.6. Some gentlemen to procure a desirable wile. Nota lici.e. Now reader, do not fall into a mistake with repaid to the words good and desirable, which, for obvious reasons, wo have italicised. Iu the ball room vocabulary a goml husband does not mean a man whose sterling worth of character is calculated to in sure the happiness of n woman; but one whose world ly advantages may procure said woman a greater pro portion of luxuries, an.I more sensual enjoyments.— In the same manner, a desirable wife, docs uot mean a well educated, strictly virtuous and amiable female; b » simply m. fortune or the medium for. obtaining one. thing were wanting amidst the multitude of extraordi- y inventions which have, for the last half century, •u recorded in the archives of our patent oflice, to ti- lUstrate and establish the pre-eminent claims of our countrymen to genius of a high order, it would be that which forms the particular subject of otir remarks. Mr. Cochran’s father was a lawyer, and afterwards a merchant of eminence in Enfield, N. H.; and the son, John Wcbste Cochran, was born there, and has invent ed the species of fire arms in question, was brought up to no particular business. At the veiy early age, how. ever, of Id, he discovered a strong taste an<f passion for mechanical experiments, and was constantly occupied in the construction of machinery, -which his father ap proving of, nnlike many other fathers, encouraged, and to further the wishes of his sou, expended several thou sand dollars in bis behalf, in the cast of the different kinds of apparatus required. When only Id, lie made the discovery in question, but did uot perfect it until three years alter. He then went to France and England, and exhibited bis model counon to Louis l'hillipc and William the IV. While at 1'aris iu 1833~’34, he was requested by the Turkish Ambassador to explain it to the Turkish Minister at London, and accordingly went to Woolwich, and per formed a series of experiments before the latter persons age, which gave so much satisfaction that he urged Air. C\ to visit the Sultan at Constantinople, and lor that purpose provided liitn with ii:t> ZZOst flattering recom mendations to the Court of the Sublime « 9 rte - Mr. Cochran arrived at Constantinople Feb. 11, 1830, received with great distinction, and introduced to the Sultan by the Grand Vizier. Ilis Turkish majesty was highly pleased with the experiments made with the model, told Mr. lie was satisfied it would bo gener ally adopted, and requested him to cast twelve pound ers on the same principle. He was provided with ele gant apartments in Pera, raised 0 the dignity of Mas ter of Camion, and furnished with as many workmen as lie required for the accomplishment of his task. The treatment in fact, which he received, was equivalent to that c>f the rank of an ambassador. Mr Cochran, however, finding there was no good foundry or mechanics, was obliged to undertake the work with !‘is own hands; and though uot brought up to the business of making machinery of any kind, by dint of much labor and perseverance, made himself nil the necessary implements, tiie augun and the wooden apparatus for boring with horse power, and the prep arations required for procuring me proper castings.— By good fortune lie sncccdcd entirely to his wishes, and enst and bored three cannon, 2 of one pound each, and tlic !hird a tirclre pounder, which last was finished in a style os perfect as Jie could have desired. On the 14th September following, he proved this last piece to Ins entire satisfaction, in !ke presence of all tiie chief officers of the Turkish goveni’netit,yvho were delight ed with its execution, and made a highly flattering re port to the Sultan. He fired it ofT iu n l .‘ e presence of those officers, to their niter astonishment, lo? times in fifteen minutes. The Sultan, when he heard df )*> would scarcely believe it, and directed Mr. C. to per form the same experiments in his presence. The most extensive preparations were accordingly made for this New-York, Nov. 12. VERY LATE FROM SPAIN. Captain Brown, ol barque Ganges, arrived at Bos ton, from Malaga, Oct. 10, informs Messrs. Topliff, that 6000 men of tiie Carlist ar y were within one daysmarch ofMalaga when ho sailed, and great con sternation pervaded all rnnkB in that city. The ship- S ing in harbor'was crowded with men women and chil- ren, for protection. As the progress of the Carlist has been marked by every excess, and as tliev wreaked their vengpance more particularly upon those places which had proclaimed the constitution or were in fa vor of it, the inhabitants ofMalaga had-every reason to fear tho worst consequences, should the-Carlist enter the city. Every preparation was making to defend the place. AboutoOOO militia were enrolled, but had lio leaders in wli'oin they had confidence; consequent ly, great alarm existed, and business was at a stand. The U. S. ship Potonjac was in port, also a British and a French frigate. VERY LATE FROM EUROPE. The Packet ship Silvie dc Grasse, Capt. Wieder- Jjolt, arrived last evoning from Havre, whence she sailed on tlic }2th October. Our Paris advices are of the 10th of that mouth. Money Affairs.—The “commercial prisis," as the English and French jiapers call it, appears to be swee ping tiie whole contincut. At Amsterdam, as we have before stated; the rate of interest has been advanced; and at Berlin ami Vienna, corresponding measures were under consideration. The continental Journals speculate very mysteriously upon tiie event, and hint at political changes of vast importance.

Gaines upon the supposed rights of his country He remarks that, “It may be the Minister has assigned this as a rea son for Ins quitting Washing on but those who know any thing of the manner in which matters are conduc ted in Mexico will be inclined to think that his return is occasioned by the apprehension that remittances from his country will fail him.—When thitigs were some what more settled there, titan they are now, a Mexican Ambassador oil leaving home took with him his first year’s salary, but wo betide him if he remained in n foteign country after it was expended and had no other resources to depend upon.

It appears that one wen has-cost the world more money than any vuiin war. What will become of us if f.te calamity falls on tho men nl*o! IV. the European side of tlic Bosphorus. No leas than 3000 troops were assembled at this spot. The Sultan, at tbc hour appointed, came over from his summer residence ou the Asiatic shore, rowed in one of liis splendid caiques, and preceded bv a long line of other boats of tiie same description. The one which announced the approach of the .Sultan Whs manned by 40 oursinen, and came with even tuorc lightuing speed than that in which his august itighuess himself was seated. As the latter was seen nearing tlic wharf. Mr. Cochran, at the suggestion of Halil Pacini, the Sultan’s son-in-law, and coniuinnder-in-cliiefof the land forces, tired oft - a salute of 21 guns (the customary number) with tlic experimental cannon, which consumed less than two minutes and struck the assembled multitude with tlic utmost amazement. As the Sultan at this moment stepped on the wharf. I fnlil, accompanied by the Grand * tzier, and other dig nitaries, ran to his majesty, and the former, making the usuul salaam of kissing tlic Sultan’s foot, announced to him with feelings of exultation that could scarcely lie repressed, the wonderful success of the machine can non, as they appropriately named it. The Sultan ar rived at his tent, then sent for the master of the cannon the title which was given to Mr. Cochran, and after a short conference with him, in which Mr. C. conversed chiefly in the Turkish language, which he had partial ly acquired, the Sultan, renewing his expressions of kindness, requested him to perforin the cx|>eriineut in his presence. His Majesty placed himself within a lew feet of the piece, and Mr.’Cochran commencing rather sooner than was anticipated, tiie Sultan, then with his linrk towards the cannon, was somewhat startled at hearing the cxpTosions suddenly succeeding each other with such inconceivable rapidity. The cannon was fired 100 times as before iu 15 minutes, during which the barrel acquired 050 degrees of heat, while die re volving cylinder which coutnined the charges was com paratively cool, being only 250 degrees of tempera ture. The Sultan’s exclamation expressive of his de light, was “ God save the Americans—if such boys as you (Mr. C. being then but 21) can invent such tilings, what can your men do!” lie then asked him tor the bill of expenses, and be ing told by Mr. C. it was left to his own pleasure, he went flic next day, at the request of the Sultan, to visit him at his palace. The bag of gold he there received was truly an imperial present, and enough to make his fortune. The amount would scarcely be believed should we name it, and we do not feel ourselves au thorized to specify the sum more distinctly than may be inferred from what we have said. Mr. Cocltran soon after returned to America, with ail understanding that he should have a contract for supplying n large number of cannon of the pattern ex hibited, whenever it could be agreeable to him to exe cute it. These adventures of Mr.Coe!iran,yet a youth, sock ing in a foreign land that patronage andjencourage- ment which were tiie proper measure and appreciation justly due to his pre-eminent talents, and which it is la mentable to be (diliged to confess, bis own countrymen would not have bestowed upon* him, recall the similar examples of West, Fulton, Perkins, and others, and areTalculated to reflect discredit upon ottr national re putation, inasmuch as Americans ought to be the tirst to reward those inventive powers which arc so emphat ically characteristic of, os well as honorable to the ge nius of our people. As nn evidence of tho accuracy and effectiveness of this rifle, Mr. Cochran related n’jbear hunt, in which he took part a few days since, on the Moose Mountains iu his nutive State of New Hampshire. He fired at the animal with tlio rifle now at the Exhibition, and lodged nine balls in his brain, while lie was under full wav, at the distance of some four or five rods from him. The* of bis army, to the passes of Sierra Morcna. Sweden,—Rumours are afloat, of a project said to be entertained by very many influential parsons in Swe den, Denmark and Norw ay, for a union of these three kingdoms under one crown; to take place on the dem ise of Charles John,the present king of Sweden. The great object is to oppose a stronger conservative front against the increasing power of Russia. LATER FROM LONDON. Tho packet ship Westminster, Capt. Moore arrived yesterday morning, having sailed from Portsmouth on tiie 17th ult. Our London papers are to the 15th.— Extracts will be found below. Letters from Spain mention that tiie Carlists, subse quently to tiie action of the 1st instant, had sent a flag of truce to Gen. Evans; which he accepted for a pe riod of three days. Col. Kirby, dangerously wounded ou the 1st. is not expected to idriire. The same let ter estimates tiie loss of tlic Carlists at 1100, killed and wounded; and of the Huecn’s troops at 300. The Paris correspondent of tiie London Courier states that tiie Fjrcucn Ambassador at Madrid is au thorized to propose the direct intervention of a French flag, jo tiie aflairs of Spain, should the Cortes demand it.

A division of the Mexican army as is learned from private accounts from the city of Mexico up to the 15th tilt, left that city about the 15th, for the invasion Texas. A large namber of sappers, miners, pioneers &c, it appears were attached to the division mid will iu all probability effect much, until coming iu contact with the forces of Texas, who will impatiently await their urrival, and it may lie, limit the operations oftheir invaders to the districts west of the Colorado. It was feared that some calamitous occurrences might ensue iu the city of Mexico on the departure of the troops al luded to inconsequence of some exasperation of feeling existing against tlteAmerican portion of residents in the city Nothing of the kind however had transpired up to the latest dates. From the Advertiser of yesterday, we learn thatsuv eral expresses hud arrived at Tampico, previous to the sailiugofthe schooner Lady Hope, announcing the approach of the Tcxian army to Matnniorus, probably under the command of General Rusk.

The accounts inserted iu continuation, paint in sad colors the state of this most unhappy department ol Chihuahua, a state eventually resulting in their total ruin, if an immediate stop be not put to threatening evil.

Palpable to all, is tlic deplorable condition of the troops.

But suppo sing them to be iu a c nditiou lor actual service, tncy could not pursue the savages to the interior.

It is further said, that president Burnet has resigned and that Gen. Houston supplies his place, until the period when his own term commences. We cannot vouch for the correctness of any of these statements, and must with great reluctance be lieve that at the present crisis oftheir affairs, the Tex- inus have disbanded their efficient force, retaining a number wholly inadequate as we should think, to make effectual resistance against the formidable num bers that the government papers of Mexico at least affirm are on their way for the purpose of crushing the revolted inhabitants of Texas.—ih.

From Malura and Gibraltar.—The brig Washing- ten's Barge, Capt Perry, arrived at this port yesterday, from Malaga via Gibraltar, having sailed from the for mer port off the 3d, and the lutter nn the 15th ult. We are indebted to the kindness of Caf t Perry for files of papers to the latest dates from both the above mentioned places We learn front Capt. Perry, that there was great excitement in Malaga^- on account of the Carlist parly being within twenty leagues rf tha: place, and the shipping had been detained two days from loading on account of all the men, horses, carts, &c- being pressed to put the city in defence against the enemy.— An English man of war brig bad arrived to protect the English property—thecaptain of her had ordered all English vessels to he ready to get under way at a mo ment’s warning. A11 American frigate bad left Gib al tar for Malaga to protect the American shipping in that port. for his delay in reaching Fort Orane. Gov. Cull will probably meet him iu the nation. ’ There is said to be a large supply of provisions on tiie Withlacoochce and at Tampa Bay. There are nearly 1000 Regulars, 1250 1 ennesseeans, 600 or 700 Floridians, and 600 or 800 friendly Indians iu the coun try, Tho activity and efficiency of Capt. Smith’s compa ny of Black Creek Voluntee s, is much to be com mended. To his company are we indebted for secu rity from tiie visits of that strolling gang of the ene my, whose late visit was attended with such heart-ren ding circumstances. Twice has Capt. S. fallen in with tiiis murdering band, and stopped their progress. We have received the following particulars of one of his scouting parties. Ho seems a favored man to find the enemy so frequently. Friday last, 4th inst. accompanied by Lt. Prevatt and 16 of his men, Capt. S. proceeded to New River, and scoured the country for 20 or 30 miles. On the 6th, they espied at a dis tance three Indians. The Indians, having discovered them, were fleeing. Tlic advanced guard attempted to cut them off from the New River Swamp. Brit on scouring another swamp of a few acres in extent, they could find one of the enemy only, the others lim ing reached the large swamp. The Indian, upon whom they came, was shot. lie probably was among tiie wounded in some previous engagement, as they found on the lower part of his baek, a scar, a short distance from which they cur. out a buljet. There were thirty-fire and a half dollars iu Mexican coin, found about him. This is supposed to be part of the money taken from the house of-Mr, Julius a few weeks since, that being the same coin. Capt. Smith, with his men, returned 011 tlic 7tii, af ter having been out four days. Capt. S. will probably induce this predatory party to abandon their intention of making other levies of scalps, money and horses in this vicinity. Gen. Eustis, we understand, is ordered to Florida Col.

Among the impudent and infamous fabrications of the Georgia handbill, to which we alluded yesterday, is the following: “Judge White also went to Florida, with Colonel Williams aud Geueral Cocke, as volunteers, to fight the Scininoles, at the close of tli3 last war, aud there successfully subdued, that resiles and murderous tribe, and consequently afforded protection to the women and children of the frontier.” Every particle of this is unalloyed falsehood. Judge White never made a campaign agiust the Scmiiiolcs in his life—probably never saw one.

To keep out of view his intrigues with Ross, the handbill in question is filled with false statements upon the subject, anJ White's fabulous Indian achieve ments arc concluded by his conquest of the Scininoles extracted above.
