On both occasions- X was Id ----—tbat city, and heard in the streets the cry, »< Down with the Natives!” -It was heard in almost every \ group of foreigners, as the uigoai for rallying, and * outrage.'

[Nino York Journal of Commerce, How to Produce Spostaneou* Cohbustioit .—A writer in the Scientific American shows how epon taneoaß combustion may be produced. «Take a small lock of cotton,* say:from } to | ounce, and saturate it well with boiled liqajpd oil, such as is commonly tiaed by painters; squeeze all the superabundant oil .IVom it, and lay it in the sun, in a hot day,arid it will take fire by spontaneous combustion in twenty immutesr—in the shade it niay ,uke two or three hours. I.have tried it many tlmes, to gratify the curious and*conyioce the skeptical.— The cotton must >e pressed together as compact as can well be done in the hand, and H must not be disturbed by loosening it alter you saturate it. It is nothing new under the bud that cotton or hemp will take fire by being saturated with oil, but that U should ignite so quick is whatbas astonished me. Some kinds of oils will cause the oil to ignite much sooner than others, owing, I suppose, to the dryers used in boiling. Ido not know what Was put is the oil when boiled, which l bave experimqo* ted. with, as it came from New York ready boiled for use.” * v.'k ; -v ' *V'i \'' " -y. [coampoitucH OJ tni jioj«u» post.] HAiraiaßoaa, April C —9 o’clock, f. h. The House passed the Appropriation bill this morning, soon after meeting, by calling the pre* vious question, upon a motion to go into commit tee of the whole for special amendment. It was thought safe to depend upon the Senate to strike off some part of the $4,000,000 which this bill as it passed the House would draw from the Treasu ry. The final vote in the House stood : Yeas, 46; Nays, 44. The Senate, on receiving this bill, at once re. solved. to hold evening sessions every day in the week except Saturday, till it should be disposed The morning sessions in the Senate are to be devoted to the consideration of this bill; the af ternoon sessions to bills generally, and the even, ing sessions to such private bills us are, through their insignificance, entirely unobjectionable. A large number of such bills have been passed in the House to day, but the Senate has saved some j credit by adjourning and doing nothing since the morning session. The committee on finance have been this after, noon and evening considering the Appropriation bill, in secret session. They will probably bring it into the Senate to morrow or next day. A bill incorporating the Allentown Savings In stitution was passed in the Senate this morning, by a vote of 13 yeas to 10 nays, some dodging. Those who dodge are often hit the hardest. FRANKLIN. The National lotelligencer gives the fallowing substance of a recent pamphlet on Casta Rica, showing the several routes proposed for a canal be. tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans : II this great enterprise shall some day be pul in operation, the route of Nicaragua will probably be i preferred to those ol Tebuntepee and Panama] (for the latter 30 miles of land to be excavated, with so elevation of 177 feet,) and consequently the laiger part, if not tho whole of the projected canal, will pats within tho limits of Costa Rica. In catting a glance at the plan proposed, it is observed that the courts of tho river Sso Joan to the Lake of Nicar agua, (90 miles,) and the waters of that Lake, will, in any case, form means of communication op to that point. Bui at to the distance from this Lake to the Pacific, there are threa plans to consider. The first would, in leaving the Lake, proceed towards I the river Tipltapa ; (30 miles,) then towards the lit tle Lake Managua, (35 miles,) and hence ascend a. certain navigable river, which it would be necessary to unite by an artificial work with an arm of the sea leading to the Pacific, near Realejo. This route would be 377 miles long, bat the distance to be dug tbroogb would not exceed 15 miles, and elevation to be overcame 144 feet. The second route proposed is the one explored by Mr. Bailey, and which, by the great Lake, ietobe united to the ocean, In opening the ißihmits to the port of San Jnan del Sar. Here there are also 16 miles to excavate, but the elevation rises to 457 feet. • Lastly, the third route it that which would pass in tho territory of Costs Rica, and which would re. I quire less client of canal, (13 miles,) for tho river Sapoa might bo used, and the elevation at this point is not above 43 feet, terminating at the point of Sa« linaa. This plan offers the important advantage of ending on thePacifio at the excellent port of Salims, while the others terminate al no good port, that of San Joan being an open bay, and that of Realejo being on one side of the place where the canal is to terminsto. It is to bo remarked-that the route of Cotta Rica has, in common with that of Nicaragua, by tho Lsko Managua, the eminent advantage over Iho others, ot being furbished with water at the highest point for tho eopport of the canal. Toledo, April 6th, 1851. A fire broke oat this morning aboat 4 o’clock in tho building occupied by M. L.
