predicated on the greuml that the time for cmayiti;’, it into .fleet hid
expired before it was ratifie.l by our Govcinnietit. He vottld say to

In another part of this paper, will be found an account oftwo bat

FROM THE FRONTIER.
We have intelligence by the. way of Baltimore from Michigan. A
gentleman who left Monroe, Michigan, on the lllhinst. states that a
number of troops under Col. Dodge, embarked on the 7th, in a schoon
er fur Gibralter, where they were j;>im*d on the Sth bv Col. Suth
erland, together with several boats, scows, &-c., having 250 stand of
arm *, three so ld pieces, a large stock o! pro* ;-ions, ifcc., the most ol
which w.:s put on board the schcom-r for rloi.s Blanc, a British Island,
opposiie Malden.
The schooner, with thirty men got separated from the fleet,
on their way io the Island, when tin v were fired upon from he shore,
but the lire being li.'tmned by the Patriots, killed sixty ofihe etieinv
on shot e. On the evening of the 9th, the schooner got on shore in ti
squall of wind, when the Lvyali .is li,*.*d into her and killed I'm.i tecn
men and tool; p r-;ses i.m of tlie v. s*■:*!. Colonels Dodge and Suther
land, were both wounded.
It is stated on th:* authority of the same gentleman, that the arms
that weiu forcibly taken from th:* state by the patriot force,were given
up again, on the demand ofihe Governm* of Michigan.
We have accounts from Niagara to the 15th inst., confirming the
loss ol the s: homie.*. One account states—
“ i'll it a detachment of our bails hid succeeded, after a short en
'/ in capturing a schooner, with a los . to the enemy ofone man
( I o!in A iider ;mi) kill. I, eight worn. 1* d, mi l I wclve prisoners; amongst

Another account from iilalden --.ays
Lieut. Wright arrived by express, bringing the s.itifactorv intelli

om* .-.id *, with three pieces of c inmin, an 1 twmitv p'lNmei s ; amoii"

i Only one was killed, eight wmmded, and twelve prisoners.

[ lilted that he was acqmi'mted with the hand writing, and that it was
■ General Scott’s.—Upon this the cannon were given up. /After in-
Vo: ligation it appeaii il tin.* whole was a forgery and contrivance to
get the possession.
The Albany Argus states —
“We learn verbally from Buffalo, as late as Saturday Evening,
that the ste imboat United States was about Io leave that port for
Dolt oil, with mot ;* or less of the Navy i sland force (and probably
tin ir arms, &i*. also ;) but that (General Scott bad given the parlies
notice that be should lire upon the boat if the enterprise was started.”
The same paper has tlie following relative to General Scott’s
stall’.
“Mat. Gen. Scott has issued an order, appointing the following
temporary’ tuff. Lieut. Col. Worth chief of the staff, whose duties
duties will not be confined to any particular department, but extend

'i'lni .Niagara U. (.'. Reporter speaks of a (General Scott, as having
been appointed to the command at Scldo-ser, &,,*.. The Buffalo Star
savs, “there ma v-have been a time, when some of the hottest of the

had not been in too great a burry to look behind.”

Disastrous I'irr. Destruction of the Baltimore Cirrus ami
Uooktds Ctml of s’> Horses.— Between four and five o’clock this
mornin:’, the alarm of lire was uivett, mid it was soot' discovered that
the whole of thei'Xten -ive building in I' innt-slreet, known as the Bal
timore Theatre and Circus, was cntiiely envideped in flames, which
burst with pleat fury from every window and d mr of the vast edi
fice. Before the fi: :• was discovered, it appe. :,d to have reached:
every part ol lite building, and prevented the possibility of saving a
single article.
The building was occupied by the well known Company of Mr. I
Cooke, am! we regret to state that the wh.de of the stock, fixtures,!
machinery, nardrohe, decorations and properly ol this extensive J
Company, were entirely consumed, including his stud ol' nearly fifty
horses, twelve of which were remarkable for being extremely small. I
’ | Ihe fiie is supposed to have been the result of accident. Dari;
t:ie performance last night, ol the grand spectacle of Mazcppa j .a pm t
of the scenery was observed to take fire, but as it apparently weir.
> out immediately, m> noftce was taken of it. There i; but little doul ,
that, the destiuc.tion ol the house was caused by this circumstam> .
I wo men slept in the stable of tlie Circus, which was under th.**

A CURIOSITY.
, We have on om table a curious specimen of the freaks which OIJ
Neptune, in his coral caves, plays upon tlie treasures, which have,
from time to time, been snatched by him, with the aid of zEolus, from
the clutches of man. We should be glad to form an alliance, with
the God oi the sea, and divide with him the spoils which wrecks
have emptied into his domain, at any rate, to p-ty him a visit, “on tlie
dolphin’s back” to those caves, wherein are hoarded these glittering
treasures of the deep. But we fear that he is not willing to trust a
needy editor in his dominions—and that, unlike the lover, he puts n<*
faith in the lines of the poet, that
“The treasures of the deep are not so precious
As arc the concealed comforts of a man

I If lie did, he would invite al! bachelors to help themselves, and thus

A brighter jewel at his chic to wear.
But we think wo hear the reader ask —what’s the curiosity? ’Tis
nothing, more nor less, gentle reader, than four silver dollars, so rare
in these “suspension-specie times” —locked together in a close em
brace, but as unnatural as the Siamese canuexjon, and coveted with
little shells, and stones thrown upon them, we presume, at the beck of
.Neptune, by the nymphs of the sea, in their fantastic gambols, when
issuintr for a frolic, from their grottoes. Some of these shells arc
beaut hid, ami must have been the result of these nymphs’ curious
searches in “the deep bosom of the ocean” where they were buried.
But to the narrative.
A Sptmisli ship was lust on the Borlings, coast of Portugal, about
55 years ago; bound from a port in Peru to a port in Spain. When
wrecked she had 15 millions of specie (so says <n:r informant) oti
board. Two English captains, Capt. 11. Abbmette, aud brother, last'
year obtained permission from the owner in Lisbon, to fish for the
money, ami with india-rubbin* dresses dived into 6 fathom water, and
obtained some days £1500—58,000,000 had been previously fish
ed up.
These money fishersare the same who blew up the Royal William
at Spitheod. The cariosity can be seen at our reading room.- Sa

j Exemplary Damages.— Eight thousand dollars were recently oh-*
■ tamed by Minor S. Lincoln, a mercliant of Boston, against the Sa-*
ratoga and Schenectady Railroad Company, in an action for damag
es sustained by tlie plniiitill by a collision of tlie cars on their road
in August, 1837. Mr. L. and a lady had been visiting the springs,
which they left by the railroad on the 31st of August ; and at Balls
ton Spa, the upward and downward cars came in collision, by which
Mr. L. had his thigh broken, ami Mrs. L. was slightly biuised. In
consequence of the injury done, Air. L. was confined at Ba.lston
Spa for seven or eight weeks before he was enabled to reach home,
during which time his expenses and physician's bills were a little
sh rt of $7l)0; and for some time after reaching home he was inca
p. citated from attendftg regularly to his business.
Singular Fule of a Miser.— . Monsieur Foscue, om* of th * fnrmcrs-ge
nernl of the province of Languedoc, in France, who bail amassed i on-,,
siil-.rable wealth by grinding the faces of the poor within his province,
and every other means, however low, base, or cruel, by which he ren
dered himself universally hated, was one day ordered by the govern
ment t-.» raise a considerable sum. As an excuse for nut complying with
this demand, lie pleaded extreme poverty; but fearing that some of
the iiihabiiaiits of Languedoc might give information to the contrary,
taid his house would be searched, lie resolved to hide his treasure in
i such a maimer as to escape the strictest examination.' He dug a kunE
' oi cave in his w ine cellar, which he made so large and deep that lie
used to go down to it with a ladder. At the entrance was a door with a
j spring lock on it, which, w hen the door was shut, fastened of itself.
Some t ine after, M. Rosette disappeared ; diligent scan It was made for
him it. every place ; the neighboring ponds wi-re dragged, and every
method which human imagination could suggest, was taken, to find
him. but without success. In a short time after, his house was*
sold, mi.l the purchaser be* imingtn rebuild it, or make some alterations
ia it, the workmen discovered a door in the cellar, wiih a key in the
lock, ".hich they opened; and, ongoing down, found Monsieur Foscue
lying dead on the ground, with a candlestick near him, but no candle in
it : the latter he had eaten ; ami on searching farther, they found the
vast wealth he had amassed. It is supposed that when M. Foscue
w ent into his cave, the door by some accident shut after him, and being
out of tlie i all of auy person, he perished for want of toed. He barf
gnav.ed the flesh off both his arms, as is supposed, for subsistence.
Tims did this miser die, in the midst of his treasure, to the disgrace of
himself, ami the prejudice of the State.
Cwrtoas Experiment.— Luder this head, there is a paragraph going the
rounds, stating that an ingenious che mist in France, having found, as
! ter many experiments, that a void produced by electricity in a glass
vesse , became luminous, has at last succeeded iu forming a iong bottle,
■ of tin co inches by thirty, from which, having exhausted the air, and
otherwise acted upon it, by a galvanic battery, a light is now emitted,
being hung up in his apartment, equally clear, but not so oppressive to
the eye, asthatof the sun. Having the most religious reliance upon,*
this philosophical fact, we shall not be at all surprised to learn that the.
French Government purchase the patent right for this artificial sun
shine, ami contract with the rest of the world to light it up by night at
a trilling expense.— [Nciv-York Mirror.
