The following description of this wonder of tho con tinent is written by an eye .witness; ' “Tho improvements within tho cavo'oommimco a bout half audio from the mouth, in that branch former ly known as tho Great Bat Boom, but now Audubon’s Avenue, named by the proprietor after his old friend tho celebrated ornithologist. They consist of cham bers 14 feet square and 10 feet high. The chambers are placed aside of the cave and fO foot apart. A handsome panel door opens upon tho aVcnue, and to the sides of those to bo occupied hy/atnilics are sliding dqore. A curtain of ten foot in width extends from Otic chamber to tho other, and when let down and tho sliding door open, a communication from one cham ber, to another cun be had without being seen by those promenading the avenue. Tho reasons which influ enced tho proprietor in selecting this situation were its isolalcdSposition; its vast size, 00 feet'Wide by os many high, its contiguity to good water, its affording a plcasant promenade to those wishing to visit tho ho tel above, its greater convenience and cheapness than if it had been at a remote distance; and, moreover it is at tho nearest’point whore the atmosphere is uni form during winter and summer. ■ Owing, to.the extensive hotel which tho proprietor is erecting above ground, there have been only-four or five chambers erected in the’Cave; they exhibit a most picturesque appearance. I have no doubt but the ho tel above will bejneasurably deserted ns soon as tho necessary chambers below are completed. A rcstur ant will bo established at a convenient distance from the chambers.- The Cave possesses peculiar fitness for such an estabUshmentfheeaiiso meats & butter will keep any length of time. Cooking will bo performed .with alcohol; Such an establishment as this is im periously called for by tho community. Last winlcra number of persona laboring under chronic diseases in tended taking up their abode within tho Gave but were disappointed owing to tho accommodation within not being completed. The peculiarity of the air of tho Cave, its extraordinary influence on tho healthy as well as diseased, would constitute a perfect studv for :theVh>.^M‘ v l»ilW4Wpacfr--lt3, . temperature’’is 6U, de grees Fahrenheit, summer and whiter. It is never a degree obofc or below 60. Nothing putrifies in the Cave, The water pipcawhich conducted the water to the;saltpetre vats, in 1814, arc now in perfect preser vation, and tho com‘cobs where the oxen wore fed 'thirty years ago, arc as shund as at that day. Lamps burn with more brilliancy within than without the cave. This occurs in every part of it.’ -The cave is abundant in minerals such ns sulphate of lime or gypsum; chalk, cpsom-aud glnubor’salts; jiitroiis earth sand flint, pebbles, red and grey oclire, carbonate of hmc, polite, chrystals of quartz, Ac.. Tiio discoveries recently made in the cave greatly exceeded in extent all that was known at the period of your stay here A gentleman- of veracity, mid who has ample opportunities for acquiring correct information, having resided there mid in its vicinity thirty' years gives if as his opinion, that there is no less than two hundred square miles of cave. No wild beast, reptile or vermin Infs ever been prevailed upon to enter the Mammoth Cave; often has this been tried. Whitt tills peculiarity results from, I know hot. Nothing inhabits tho. Mammoth Cave but tho bat during tho winter, and they are confined to a particular spot I am told there ore rats, but I have never scon them Tho country south of tho. cave, which in 1813, was barren, is now grown over with timber. j “The cave is eight miles from the dripping springs I and eight and a half miles from Fruit's Knob.. Tho turnpike from Louisville runs within six miles of it,” “No man can form the most remote idea of all this the most wonderful of nil nature’s wonders, except by a visit to it; and to describe it, with all its recent dis covcncs, would require a volume. Tho discoveries made in, tho cave within the last two years, pro, in tho estimation ol ,tnany, better worth seeing, than all the cave as previously known. They consist of numer ous branches or avenues, domes of great size and beauty, and a nver terminated by a lake. Until re cently, no jJerson,had explored that branch of the cave in which the bottomless pit is situated, beyond the pit. now the most interesting and extensive part-of tho cave is beyond the’pit. For this discovery wb are indebted to a gentleman of Georgetown; Ky.,.named btevenson. Ho ascertained that the pit was nothing 1 but a chasm Of groaf depth, extending across the cave, arid therefore got a ladder of sufficient length to reach -'flu -this ladder Uiisdariffg tnan, tho guide and some two or three others, crossed the'deep and fright fol chasm, and, oh teaching the opposite part, found themselvesin a cave of considerable size, which alter ex ploring the distance of two miles brought them,‘to their astonishment and delight, to the celebrated river of the ™ vc ‘ , lis * n • ll ' B region pf the cave, unknown un til tho last two years, whore you meet with ’the great domes, tho cataract, the river, the lake, and tho gigan tic stalagmite columns. In order to gratify the nu merous visitors with a view of this deeply interesting section of the cave, the proprietor has had a largo and strong, hndgo With suitable railways erected over tho-botlohitpss pit, rocks, have, been'removed, so os to render walking pleasant in the different avenues, stair step? have been placed where required,? boats are in readiness for those who feel inclined to take aquatic excursions on-thonver,-and Bengal,- lightacan bc lmd by ™ph os wish to witness tho sublimb spectacle which is exhibited by an illumination'of tho various' domes. - J.

At Inst he obtained a situation ,of veterinary surgeon to the Qnuntd’Artois. ■ At the period of the Revolution, his natural enthusiasm rose to delirium,“and he set up a [ journal entitled ‘The People’s Friend,’ in which lie preached up revolt, murder and i pillage. In 1790 Lafayette laid siege to his . house, hut he found an asylum in that of an actress who was induced by her husband to admit him. In the different searches made after him, the cellars of his partisans, and the vaults of the Cordeliers’ church succes sively gave him shelter,-and thence’hc'con tinued to send forth his journal. In August; JVlaratbecame a mcliibcr of the municipali ty}, was one of the chief-iristigators offthe September massacres, and even proposed.'to Canton to set the prison on lire. Several deputies pressed tlip Assembly to issriis a warrant for his arrest, but they could riot obtain it, for Danton- and .Robespierre were his supporters. On one occasion Marat said to the people, ‘Massacre 370,000 partisans of'the former order of things!* ySb'on after he was made president of the Jacobin socie ty. Marat was stabbed to -the heart, while in the, bath, by Charlofte Cofday. He had some talent; wrote .and spoke, with facility, in a diffuse, incoherent, hut hold and impas sioned manner. After his death, honors al-' most divine were paid to hi.m; and in the Place du Carrousel a sort of pyramid was raised in celebration of him, within which were placed his bust, his bathing-tub, his writing-desk, and lamp; and a sentjnePwas posted there, av.lio. one ,night died either- of coldor horror. Eventually, however,France ihdignantly broke his bust, tore his remains from the Pantheon',and dragged them thruuM the mud.”’ ‘ ’ ; ' , ° The following;is.another graghicdoscrip tion of this political monster; “MaratVpolitichl -exhortatwms'began mid ended .like the howl of h bloodhound for (murder. If a wolf could have written a journal, ihe.gaunt and famished wretch could •not have ravened more eagerly for slaughter. It was blood which was Marat’s- constant (Icn>and; not indrops..lrom the breast.of.an individual; not in puny.streams fronTthc slaughtcrsiof.families;, but-blood in the pro fusion of an ocean. We are inclined to be lieve that there was a touch of insanity, in this,. unnatural ferocity; and .the wild and squalid features of the.wretch appear to have intimated a degree of alienation of mind; Danton murdered to glut his rage; Robes pierre, to avenge his‘injured vanity, or to remove a rival whom he hated; Marat, from the same instinctive love of blood which in duces a wolf'lo continue his ravages of the flock long after his.hunger ishppeased.” “None exercised a more fatal, influence upon the period in which he lived than Ma rat. He depraved (he morals of the existing parties, already sufficiently,lax; and to him were owing the two ideas wliich the commit tee of public safety realized at a later'period —theyxtermination of multitudes, and the dictatorship.” A Woman of Toulouse, who was desirous of obtaining the liberty of a relation, resolv-- cd on soliciting Marat. On going to-liis .house, she was informed that he was absent,’ but he heaid the voice of a.fcmale/nnd came out himself. He wore boots, but no stock-, ings, a tpair of old leather breeches, white silk waistcoat, and a dirty shirt, the bhsom of which waft open, and showed his yellow chest. Long dirty nails, skinny fingers, and a hideous face, suited exactly this whimsical drtss., He took, the lady’s hand, and, lead ing her-into a very pheasant room, furnished with blue and white damask; decorated with | silk curtains,’elegantly drawn up in festoons, and adorned with china vases full of natur al flowers, which were then scarce,and dear, Marat sat down besiyle lipr on a luxurious couch, heard the recital" she; had ,to make, became interested in her, kissed her hand, and promised to set her -cousin free.

His attention being called Jo another quar ter, the.ollicers succeeded in getting to their men and horses, and rendered noble service during the night. Meantime, Qoncha im mediately went to the palace, with twelve companies more of the revolted guards, and at once obtained, possession, ot the whole lowettpartef thepalace and grand staircase. The three cbhipanies of Guards on actual duty at the palace, said to have been bribed,- and nodotibt truly, offered, no resistance to his entry, but withdrew to the armory, a long building in.front of the palabfi. .The reliefguayd of.halberdiers, of ipen, had fatso, unfortunately not arrived, at the time; the whole: , defence of .tiie-pajace and" tifmQueen ?

Fortu nately the .fate of the Queen did not alto gether depend upon it.Jrer safety being in the hands of few but gallant defenders.— On the retreat of Concha at one, hostilities for the most part terminated, and the palace was kept possession of till day-break' this morning by the halberdiers. The conduct of Madame Mina was wor thy of her'name. Most fortunately, she, too, was in the palace with her royal pupils.— By conveying them from room to room, as the bloody battle thickened, she riiay be said to have" in a great degree, contributed to their personal safety; but, notwithstanding all her care and firmness, the mark of a bullet-was visible this morning on the wall, a tew inches ab6ve the bed of the Infanta; Not everi o to the gallant du„ke would she open a door, when a moment.permitted him to enquire alter the salety of his sovereign and .her sister. At day-break this morning, the Duke do la Victoria proceeded at the head of his cs- •- cprt, to the palace. His passage to the pal ace was among one continued series of the - and most heartfelt viviats. He visi-i .ted P.lazZa Mayor in his way, and spoke a few words to the people and the troops.— He then proceeded to the palace, and here a scene of, the most interesting and moving kind( took place, in the presentation of the Royal orphans at the balcony of the palace, 1 . to assure the people of the safety itTriheu: , c beloved sovereign. Hundreds were adihit ted ‘to the Royal apartments-,/to greet and console the Queen and her, sister, the latter’ speaking with infantile .simplicity, of -her .htdiiig-herself toAave herself from the balls! The Duke cordially embrace\l Col. Dulee, and instantly promoted' him ltd the rank of - brigadier. I He,next addressed each of .the halberdiers separately, and, in like manner promoted them, giving them, at the same time the (laurel: crqss.pf, SanJernando. These fine old fellows were at,(Jicir post when the Duke entered, just as if nothing had happened.— But .thejunst touching scene was, perhaps; that of itladame Alina publicly apologizing to Col. Dulce for her rude denial' of admis sion to him during the night when he applied to see the Queen. The scene and language which' passed them'both brought tears into . . the eyes of all present.' 1 have thus endea vored to give you a hurried sketch of the principal events of that most eventful night. ■ The defection of troops has not after, all, been very considerable. Some companies of the Guards and their officers are made prisoners. The National Guards and the. people conducted themselves with their usual firmness and moderation. TERRIBLE GALE The London papers state that the Me tropolis had been visited in October last by a succession of strong gales, and the amount of damage'done on the Thames is repre sented tohecnormous and the loss of life ■ give a few extracts. tower part of Westmin ster - If Parliament had been sitting could'onlv have reach ed the two houses in boats, for Palace yard ■, and the adjacent streets were under \vater, and the floor of Westminster Hall was also overflowed. It is recorded that the Thames rose so high at Westminster in the year I 1625,. that the lawyers were -brought out of the law courts in boats. A similar occur rence happened in 1T36. Fortunately the courts of law-were closed-yesterday, or .the gentlemen of the legal profession would | have been put to a similar inconvenience. ! The water extended to the house of Mr. - L.Pelham, the Solicitor, in old Gravel-lane, 400 yaffls from the river; and it appears that an infant child of Mr. Pelham, which was left, in a,cradle in. otic, of the .parlors, had a very narrow escape. "I'he mother saved it, fuming down stairs about half past 4 o’clock she' found the water had en tered the parlor, and the cradle was afloat, with the child in it asleep, and quiet and unconscious of its danger.- A poor woman was drowned 'in Plough-alley; Wapping.— She was bed-ridden, and the inmates of the house wber&shc lived forgetting her in the confusion which prevailed,*the water rushed in, filled the apartment where she ’ was confined, and she was .unfortunately drowned. It was reported that another fe male and her child iVere drowned in a house near the same place, but it was impossible to approach, the place to.ascertain the trutlr. The excitement among the poor people in this neighborhood was extreme, and parents ' iVcre going about in all directions seeking ‘ their children :who were missing, and whot they were fearfuP'had been swallowed up by the flood. , - * A young woman named Caroline Hunter living on the ground floor of No. 9, Plough alley, had a narrow escape.
