Governor Shannon ofOln'o, having been t a ipjunted by President Tyler Minister to 'Mysjco, has resigned the office of Govern oso lhal Stale; and we presunm the Demo TMid 'Duckeyea' aro not all sorry. T.W. Ifhntoy, Speaker of the Senate ( Demo 'cai).has become Governor by virtue of the t5tuiitii)n. anu lias entcreu upon tlie tils fJrfcfge of his duties. Mr. Hartley i the ' sy Mordecai Hartley, the present Whip irtarfOftiute for the same office. Curious. Thero nro strong doubt whether Mr. Harper, the Mayor elect of New York, ran constitutionally discharge the duties of his office 83 it is alleged that lie arrived in this country from England when about four years of age, and has nev. rr taken out letters of naturalization. A strange anomaly it would present, should it be made to appear that the Native Jlmcr icens had elevated to offico an unnalurali zed foreigner Infanticide in China. From the inves tigation made by the Rev. David Abeel, Missionary to China, it appears that pro bably about one third or nno fourth nf nil the female children of that country are slain soon after birth. A machine by which old woollen rag? can be. converted into superfine cloth, nt a .vine of money and labor, has been intio duced into this country finm England. The cloth made in this way is rotten, and liable to tear very easily. Manufacturing Artificial Marble. The Fittsbiug Chrnnirle says an individual lias a mode of manufacturing marble which t pronounced superior to any oilier artifi cial itona or marble in use, and will-super cede the use nf lime mortar in the varied processes of plastering, will be extensively used for stucco work, mosaic, statuary, mantle-pieces; tablo slabs, atmospheric and hydraulic cement, rnnfing of houses, paving of streets, &c. It will set or harden in six hours wlion applied in plastering houses. It will resist the action uf atmospheric heat, damp, frost, &c , and is susceptible of a high polish, and can be manufactured at a cost little exceeding ordinary lime mortar. The Magnetic V'elegraph. .The Nation nl Intelligencer says; "Considerable pro. tress has been made in the construction of the Magnetic; Telegraph, the invention of Professor S. F, B. Morse, upon which a test experiment i3 being made under the authority of an act of Congress. Tho line of conductors is constructed as far on fiom Washington as to a point on tho lino of thr v railroad opposite lo the residence of C. H. Jalvert, Esq (six miles) and the work is making progrexs at tho rata of about n mill a day. A trial of it was made on Tuesday ss ihe cars pasaed Mr. Calveit's by commu nicatir.g the fact of their passage lo the point al which the line begins in Washington; and an answer, acknowledging tho receipt of tho in lelligence, was received back in t wo or ihree seconds." IMPORTS OF SPECIE. From a table in Hunt's Merchants' Mag jizino, furnished from the Treasury Depari ment, it appears tint tho amount of specif imported into ihe United Statrs in the yeai 1843. was S23 7.I2 031. Of this am'fUH' 817,251.470 were in gold, and SO. 33. 075 in silver.

Tho reader will probably remember hnu much capital tho WMl's made in lolO In illuming t It u endorsement uf clergymen for lluir candidate. I hey have already ut tempted the same course in 1843. Rut they do not find it quite so easy lo procure tho lufititnce of the clergy in favor uf the western duellist as they did fur tho moral and amiable Ilairtson. Still Ihey feel the importance of securing this influential and weighty portion ol our citizens, and to pro euro it has fallen on tho old gamp of pipe aying, for winch they are so justly distiti guished. Tho following letter jrom l)t Gapers, n distinguished minister of the iVmhodisl churuli i) Hie West will show to what means they have rosnrled in older to obtain tho voles of the religious community for their candidate.

An immense concourse of spectators. not less, as we apprehend, than fifteen thousand men, women and childrpn,wii itemed the expeiimcnU on the Etiien Hranch, which were made by Mr. Colt. with his Suh-Mnrinc ll,ittory,lasi SiUn day evening, about 5 u'oluck. Tin contimioiii hillb', wharvcyhoi CK.biidgci buildings and trees ivcr all fully m.in tied. Two sicamers well loaded with passengers and a number of small boat, were also seen keeping; liowevir, at a respectful distance, in the Eastern Branch. Two or three minor explo sions were exhibited before thu scamer on board the 'doomed .hip' made theii exit, which they effected Jinid the deaf ing cheers of the rauliitude,whose eyei were all towards her. She moved slowly, in sailing order, along the navy yard channel, and in a few minutes af ter leaving her mooring phco blew up tith a crand exnlosion, which raised tin Ktov of the vessel completely out of tin th in water, and seallereu her fragments in. i . . . - . -' Vu ri flic ,1 i rl Jfino Tl tvnnlil iinnni llitl " vviiuu.i ... u w w . . . ilia- ,e splosion was made a little too soon is hail the batteiy struck the vestel a niiiiutelattr, she would have been com pletely Nlestroyed 'leaving no wreck behind."

VALUE OF CORRESPONDENCE It is proverbial at VVashington, that tlu people there, both citizens and members f Congress, are in a great measure de pendant upon Ihe Iclter-wi iters station ed there by the more distant pi ess, for n knowledge of most of Ihe local news & lomestic gosip, as it returns in the published coi respondencc. This fact? reminds uj of another which may be ited in apt illustration.

On Ihe morning of the 23d, at about seven 'clock, screams of distress were heard to is-fiie from the house and thoic who arrived Iheie, witnessed an awful ?pec 'acle tho woman lying on ihe flooi,her clothing entirely burnt from her, sod sh- literally roasted alive! bhe was im mediately taken to the alms-houe, where she was propel ly cared for& she linger ed till tho morning in great agony when she expired. Tieinenduus Explosion al Norwich, CnnnCLticutund probably loss of Life. On Satiuday afternoon, the citizens of Nurw.ek wore thrown into consternation by i tietnendnus concussion, which shook their buildings with great violence, and oc casioned considerable damage in the ties ruction of cro. kery and window glass. Wtrihuling it lo the explosion of powder stored in a building erected for lhal purpnM hunt three quaiters of a mile from the tou n many persons repaired thither to a? erlain tlie i;auu and consequence of the -aiastrophp. They found the house. which lad contained between eighty and a hundred kegs of powder, a mass of ruins. In ilt vicinity were the bodies of four bnys; and 'hough life was not oxtinci, they had lieen dunned into a state of insensibility, and were incapable of rendering any account of dm disaster. Two of them, at least, are probably fatally injured, nnd it is doubtful whether more than one of the four can sur vive. It is probable that playing "ith pow lur in the neighborhood, ihey communicat ed file accidentally to tho contents of the milding.
