The principal difficulty has been the int,Who beat ;Web is distributed along the sides of the fire-box, by the strong drift which the usnal - speed ofthe Locomotive givei to the fire,— the coal is thus 80012 melted, and gathering into a mass of clinker upon the grate, not only destroys the grate very frequently, but stops the draft and extinguishes the firs, - This difficulty is likely to be overcomli by an improvement•of Wm. G. Hennis of this• Borough —for which be has secured letters patent, and re ceived the•san'ction of Scientific persons, who have examined it.- The invention consists of an endless-grate revolving upon rollers at each end of the : fire-box, with.racket-wheels tiponsthe out side to enable the fireman to turn the grate when ever desirable. The coal may be thus shifted from time,to time, end the griite kept compara tively cooli—and the 'trilateral position of the coal, which, by a 4 :lever at one of the aidie of the grate-wheel, may also be elevated or lowered, so as to throw out accumulated cinders, will save the sides of_the fire-box by generalizing the heat, instead of concentrating it by draft along the sides. • • . , ai" Ij the riader, in his or her perambulations through our columns this moining, should say to him or herself: Pools there is nothing in it," let it be understood that we do not every week receive mammoth presses, nor leads, cute, column rhles,,&c., wherewith to throw; our usually quiet sanctim into Babylonian excitement and confusion.

In the present state •of the moy market, when funds are actively sought by the business community, large sums of money are attracted from us to N.York r and other states where the leial rates of interest are highei than our own. There are some men, too, who entertain conscien tious scruples against receiving higher -rates of, interest than those established by law, end who do not feel justifiable in discounting at home for six per cent., while a few miles distant seven per cent. could as readily be obtained. From this cause, a large amount of capital is kept in a state of "mas terly ina . ctivity." and when fundlare actually worth seven or eight per cent. we see no reason why the law should not allow it. nA friend at Washington writes us that there is tittle doubt . of the postage-law being so modified at the present session of Congress as to tneet the approbation of.the country-press. He adds : I have no.doubt but that Congress will put some limit to the extent, 'character, and -nature of the-Mexican war, but that limit may be on the other aiito of the -Mexican boundary! There is no telling, Sze. Taylor stock,•he adds, is on the rise, which is vastly alarming to the Locos. It .ia thought by some that business will call the old War Horse to Washington. Our friend takes exception to the term "digni fied" which we applied to Mr. Polk's message. However untrue and ill•lounded some of the positions assumed in the document, its tone never theless struck us as being dignified, in the sense of the word—for a man can be dignified, and a dignitary, too, and Jet promulgate the most er. nineous and false.statementa! lar A Robber krested:—A colored porter at the American Hotel in this Borough, named Wil liam Street, was arrested on Thureday last, on the charge of having stolen a pocket-book, containing money and valuable papers, from Mr. Geo.

Fifteen dollars were identified ant: recov ered, but the remainder of the money, whatever the amount, could not be found on his person, and a note for $5O in favor of Mr. P. tog. Cher with Lime other papers, it is supposed have been de stroyed. The robber was taken before a Justice of the Peace, and committed to the county-prison to await trial. During his examination a pistol, heavily charged with slugs, was found upon his person. . E"Port Richmond, near Philadelphia, is in creasing in business and population at an 'extraor dinary rate. During the past, year upwards of one hundred and thirty houses Inive been erected within its 'limits. most of them stands for business, and three and four stories in. height. Port Rich mond is the great depot for the coal of this region, and its past easiness has been mainly achieved through this great interest 'of our State.

Forges , Which **e noticed in out columns a few .freeks . iitice,invo excited additional intereit:Wkbin the last few days, by the return of Mr. Miller, the supposed forger; and the disappearanceof Mr. Bellknap, the accuser. No one has molested the former, and it is believed by many that the whole affair .has been brought about by some indirection in which the charac ter of neitfierof the 'parties is involved, et all-- especially as dray are both in alfiluerit •circum stances, excellent credit, and well advanced in years. The mystery will no doubt be solved in a few days. I'V' The Wilmot Proviso.—A.member of the Alabama Legislature has introduced into that body. resolutiorts declaring that under no circum stances will they recognize as binding any enact ment of Congress, which has for its object the prohibition of Slavery in any territory to be ac quired either by conquest or treaty, South of the ), Missouri compromise. They denounce the act passed : by the Legislatur of our State last winter, with regard to runaway laves, as unconstitutton al, &c. and as dangerotk to the interests of Blare holding Slates, if it vrermipterl by' the Federal government, as the Wit proviso proviso itself. ' , dr Small Notts.—A correspondent calls at tention to the expediency of the next Legislature ofur State adopttng some measures, to relieve the wants of the business public for notes of small denominations. The relief notes have been nearly A ll withdrawn from circulation, and our State is now surfeited with the paper of the Banks of adjoining States, of whoie condition and resources holders are generally ignorant.' It would be , well, no doubt, for the Legislature to . take some action on the subject, as the inconvenience is one of serious character, and universally felt. [o , * Gen. Taylor and Mr. Clay.—While at New Orleans, General Taylor expressed the warmest admiration and friendship for Mr. Clay, but observed that he dissented with some of the` views expressed in iris recent great speech. It is: stated that in the main he agrees with him—but in regard to taking and holding a line in Mexico, his views are very similar to those held by Mr. Calhoun. The' Philadelphia News says of Whee lock, of the Red thirtain in Market Street, that he is a genius, and no mistake. Besides doing a great business in the way of cheese and crackers, sweetmeats and ginger pop. he publishes a very interesting paper on very reasonable terms.

LATER PROM MEXICO 77te,North 'American received by special ex press 'from New Orleans on Tuesday last, two days in advance of the mail, later intelligence from Mexico, from which we extract the following: Gen. Anaya' was elected President of Mexico on the 11th NOvember. His present term extends only to the Bth of January next. He is known to be in favor of peace, as also the Cabinet offi cers whom he appointed. One of the first acts of the new administration was to send for Mr. 'nisi, to re-open negotiations for peace. ' Mr. Trist's powers had bean revoked prior to the arrival of the committeelappointed, and it is therefore pre sumed that the application haa been referred to our government at Washington. A report prevailed , at Vera Cruz that Gen. Worth, Gen: Pillow, arid Lieut. Col. Duncan had been arrea:ed try, General Scott. for letters purport ing to have been written by them; reflecting on the Commander in Chief. The rumor was not generally credited. Santa Anna has assumed the command of the army in Oajach. He says that he was deprive' of the command by, Pena 'y Pena, in order that the latter might find no obstacles in making peace with the Americans. He avows his determine tion to oppose any negotiation for peace with the American forces occupying'' any, portion of the Mexican territory. i, .1 Senor Ote4 brodght,forward his proposition in the Mexican Congress, for depriving the Exeeu tive of the poWer to alienate any part of the terri tory of the Republic' by a treaty of peace. The proposition Was rejected by a large majority, l i which is deemed a very favorable omen. The trains of Geo. Patterson and Bdtler were on their way from Jalapa to 'Mexico, on the 2nd ultimo. Gen. Scott will soon have a force of from twenty to twenty-five thousand. ur i A Remarkable Aerollte.—On the 14th July Isar. a remarkable aerolite fell at Brennan, lin Bohemia. Two fragments were found, one I weighing fifteen the other twenty-one kilogram. mes. The aerolite appeared to proceed. as is very 'often the case, from a small black cloud. The smeller frigment fell upon a house, pierced the roof, struck a beam which caused it to deviate ,slightly from its course,• passed through a ceiling Icornposed of white clay and straw, and entered a 'room where several persons were assembled, but. fortunately, no one was hurt. A circumstance wo6hy of remark was, that the straw of the 'ceil ing traversed by the meteor was not in the least carbonized; it only appeared of a brighter yellow, with semi-metalic lustre ; pieces of straw even ad- I:kering to the stone presented no trace of carboni zation. A fragment has been analyzed by M.lFish era, of Breslau, who found in it, besides sulphuret. led iron, carbon, phosphorus, and Bromine. In sawing the mass, globules were inflamed by the friCtion of the teeth. of the saw, and a bright light 'produced.—=Literary Gazelle. ! rir What next.—(;appears that a young lady bailing from Philadelphia, has made her appear. trace in one of the medical lecture rooms in Boston. The Medical Journal of that city' says:..Miss ,Blackwell made her appearance in the lecture room about two weeks ago. She is a pretty little specimen of the feminine gender, registering her age at 26, her tutor. Professor Dickinsen, of South Carolina, now Professor of Theory and Practice Of Medicine in the New York University. She comes into the class with great composure, takes off her bonnet and puts it under the seat,' (expo iling a fine phrenology,) takes notes constantly, and maintains throughout an unchanged counte nance. The effect on the clays has been good, and' great decorum is observed while she is present. She wrote a capital letter • when she applied for admission, and brings recommendations from em inent physicians of Philadelphin,7 Miss Blackwell rihould confine her practice when admitted to diseaseLof the heart, Verily we are living in p progressive, age. , rrpfdicationfit St. Claii.--The new hall of the /*lns of Temperance at St; Clair, will be dedicated m-the' purposes of the order this' day, at 12 o'clock..
