On Saturdsyjthe ice and flood wood collected at a packing housfc two miles from Chicago, dammed up thelwater to a great depth and increased im« menseiy the extent of the ioumlation.

The text bridge carried away waa the Wellai street bridge, then the Clark street bridge, and a large adjonnt of shipping and canal boat*.— This mass of floating material was burled together at a point neaf the piers, in a confused jam where' the shipping abstained its principal injury.

A GLASCE AT MADRID, Translated from “La Crooica.” of New York, for the National lolethgencer. Madrid, January 19,1849. The (fcrort cf Spain ia aUhis lime one of the most brilliant and entertaining of any in Europe.

A mild, almost Spring-time temperature—the sun shining through the greater part of the day*—the peace and repose that *o happily ‘we enjoy, giv* an equal zest to the plea ,-aurw oCthe rich and those of the poor. and lend a •hew charm tq.lheir diversions.

For the grindee of Spam, for the man of rank, > for the banker, for auy of these aristocrats of the f da}’, it is a matter of indifference whether it is cold . or warm. Let the rain pour or the thunder ralt'e, be haa, when going to the theatre or the balhhis swift carriages hermetically closed, lined with lura, and furni»m*d with the rofteal ensbions He has also benrticcol chimneys to this dressing room rich carpets to his saloons, nod thick curtain* to his bed room. * And'at the banquet, the feast, add the ball. the wc*nea appear clad with rich and light gauze ortrantparent drapery, the tame la the month of January as in that of July; and (hey carry flowers in tbelt hands, as if the field produced them, and nor tbft artificial warmth of the stove; and they display their fair shoulders stripped, and their rqaoded arms bare, as if the thermometer were at ninety’degrees of F&renbeit.

Never has ihgre been to many or such magnificent balls, and never has there sprung up against them so many ind such in conquerable obstacle*. First, tbe mourning of the Court came to interrupt the plea - sures hardly commenced; then tbe events at Rome; afterwards implacable Death hurled his cruel shaft in the midst of those who laughed and danced, striking among others a lady full of youth and pro mise. - And, if it is necessary to cite another in stance; we may mention the Coantess of Campo Alegre, who, at first through the just and noble motives of friendship and a regard for misfortune, and slate then through indisposition, has not been able to. open.the doors of her auii for some lime past to those that are so anxioasto ester. At tpe beginning of the season it was related as a great marvel that every day of the week there might‘be a party. ere two or three everyday—*ll brilliant and all thronged. On Sun days, die CouQteas of Montijo and the Senora de Osorio' receive company; on Mondays, tbe Mar chionCSs do Legarda and the Minister of tbe United States: on Tuesdays, the Countesses of Casa-Bhyona aqd of Campo-AJgere; on Wednesdays, the routs in; the Royal Palace will, it seems, hereafter take ptkee 6n Thursdays, social parties in the Palace of Qbeet\' Chrislioo; on Fridays, the some in the house* of the Senora de Berez Seoane, Princess Caring Countess of Torrealta, and Mrs. Stopford, aqd otf Saturdays, the Minister of France and Mr. Daniel-Weisveiller will alternate with the Senora dd • Sofo, mother of the Marquis dc Eapeja. All this wilbont mentioning the fiae concerts of Messrs. Mora find Madrazo, where the amateurs of good music :may find every thing that can be wished for.

Correspondence ofthe Baltimore Patriot Washihqtoh, March Id, 1319. There have*been statements made, in some of the newspapers, that the new Postmaster General bad decided that he would not appoint any editors to office. These statements will turn out, I think, lo be unfounded in fad. What Judge Collamer designs, no doubt, is, that he will give lo no editor an office, unless said editor gives up his editorial station —that is, that no man shall be a public officer aad at the same lime an editor of a news- paper That editor* of newspaper* will be appointed to office# of honor and trust by the new admiostnmon, there i# no room to doubt. A case in point ha* al ready occurred. AUen A. Hall,Esq. ofTeaoessee, editor of the Nashville Whig, aud formerly Charge des Affair* to Venezuela, has been appointed, by General Taylor, Register of the Treasury, and the appointment, os I leara, has been confirmed by the Seaate. Mr. Hall has been a Whig editor for many year#, and a moil able and jadicioos one. Having been once associated with him in the editorial manage ment of a daily paper, 1 may be presumed to know something of his ability, wisdom and efficiency. AsHt politician of ripe judgment and long ex perience, the new administration will find to Mr. Hall a very superior man. He never makes mis- Wm.s6arcy Jones, Esq., formerly editor of the New Orfceans Bulletin, has been appointed secre tary to the Board ot Commissioners to- adjust the claims againtf Mexico. Mr. Jone»-will ably dis charge the important duties of the station. He is the aoa-io4aw of Senator Beaton, and probably has - received bis appointment through CoL Bentuo s in fluence: Mr. Jones was formerly a Whig, bat ol late has token no active part to puttie*. H«* has been thought to be of the same polities of OoU tteo- j ton, except that he preferred tbo election of Taylor to that of Cass. . Charles Lee Jones, E*q., of Washington Cay, son of Gen. Walter Jones, the great lawyer, and nephew of Gen.

Bradford a very suitable gentleman .for the station; but, inasmuch os it had been conferred upon anoth l er, the worthy services may be required I in some other public station of os much honor and , I responsibility. | The statement* in some of the newspapers that Gen. Brady had gone home to Chaxnbershurg m a pet, because be did not receive the appointment of Second Auditor ot the Treasury, are. I apprehend, ell •‘leather and prunella.'’ 1 met Gen. Brady to day, and be assured me that hit confidence in the wisdom of Geo. Taylor and the punty of all the Cabinet officers, was os unshaken as ever, and that whether an honorable appointment should be too* deredlo him or not, be would be as ready to stand by this Whig Administration in its endeavors to carry out its great principles, *■ he was ‘earnest and sincere m his efforts to bnog about its ad vent.

The further supplement to the act to incorporate the Philadelphia and Heading R. R. Go., was taken up on third reading and passed. On moron of Mr. Brooke the bill regulating the carrying of passenger* on the Philadelphia and Co lumbia Railroad, was taken up for consideration in committee of the whole. Mr. Brooke then moved a substitute for the bill, “authorizing the Canal Commissioners to enter into contract for carrying passenger* over the Philadel phia and Columbia Railroad for the term of 3 yean,' which was agreed to. Several amendments were offered to the substi* lute, some of which were agreed to. The committee then rose and reported progress, when the bill, together with the amendments, were ordered to be printed. The bill relating to private acts of Assembly wag taken up.

Ths Akbul Locomotive Stabtxd,—An exhi bition of the mode! of Porter & Robjohn’a Aerial Locomotive was made yesterday,afiernoon in the Exchange, and was perfectly sacoeasfuL The float, or spindle shaped balloon, made of goldbeat er’s skin, was about 10 feet long, to which was sus pended a steam engine in miniature, weighing—fire, water, and all complete—abontSori lbs. standing its diminutive size, the engine turned the light paddle wheels of the machine with eaae, sod kept in motion as long aa the water lasted. The reader was set to fly the balloon In a circle. It was started from the eastern door of the Rotunds, and wenlnp steadily, propelled by the engine, ian regular gyration to the roof—uiakiug two full cir cles on its way. Here, a weight having been at* tached it descended in a spiral, following the eel of the rudder, and landed safely. This experiment wes repealed a second time with a Uk6 result, and so far as flying in a quiet atmosphere goes, the. locomotive may be considered successful. It re mains to be seen whether a large machine similar ly constructed, tkould safely resist the violent coma motions'of the open air.
