keetboal, and ascended lo a point one thousand

by him Babbitt’s Falls, impaaab'e even to iQc

From rcceot intelligence it would appear that
tbe belligerent paniea in Yucatan, instead of cea»»
UK, tare recommenced hostilities with the utmost
rifor. The Indian* in the interior have again at
tMked the Spaniards, and driven them from sev
end town*; indeed from what we can learn, ibt-y
have now rlaen witn renewed determination, «o
that, aa far as we can foresee, the prospects M*
peace sre farther off than ever, and we apprehend
■ that that coantry will now become the areua for
•cenea oi similar strife and turmoil which has be
fi>ro torn up the different Stste* of Central
es. The Indians being 10 much more cutaerour
tfeao the Spaniard*, they must inevitably gain the
ascendancy if they persevere, despite the asai«:

qqi iina of railroad it now open from Hus r.ty to
Jobnatown, a dittaoce of two hnndred and eighty
milea. Tbe event waa one full of inlerett to Penn*
Bilvania. and more particularly to Philadelphia,
and waa honored accordingly. At half past ei» hi
o’clock on Thoraday morning, about .ibree bun*
dred gentlemen, invited to participate in the■ fes*
tival, entered a. special train of car* at Wett rhtl*
adelpbts, near lha Ntirket street bridge, at the
temporary station on tbdline of the new road to
i avoid the inclined plane. : ‘ . ’
The work* at tbit end of the line are of the
1 moat extensive, csfcUy, and aubstaiial character,
and have elicited the warm encomium* of ell oar
citiion* who have observed their progreai. The
i old “permanent bridge” baa been replaced by a
magnificent ■trocture, not yet completed, although
passable for psdeatrian* and carriages, which is
intended to accommodate the ruiiroad ami ila busi
er, m addition to serving as a thoroughfare for
ordinary vehicles between the catt and weat banka
of the river. The old atone abutments of the
permanent bridge havebeenaomewbat ixtendcd
and used for the new ainvture, being excellently
bnilt and «ery anbatanlial. The panttge ways
have been n-dneed to a level to accommodate the
railroad, and a strong and solid roadway has been
tailed leading from the bridge on each aide of tbe
tirer, onril tbe level reaches a corresponding
grade in Market aired, on the east, and in the rail*
toad on the west.
The free communication <>l the streets I* pre
served bv massive *tone archways under tbe read.
A short distance ab-m* the temporary station is an
iron bridge. Beyond this, the depot lor locomo

this road there are but two or three cuts ol
any depth, and generally the road is an ea-v and
natural grade, bearing a striking contrast in mi*
respect to tha danger*and delays of the uld road by
the inclined plane The ascent in the courae o! the
cght miles of the new road is so gradual as not to
be perceived, and is travelled over by the car* with
tbe san.c locomotive which takes them to ihe end
of their journey.
At tbe point where the Slate road intersects the
Westchester road v 2 miles above the city, the ele
vation is .M 3 feet above tide waler. The travel

Died at the residence oftaiaFatber. in Allegheny
city, on the night of the ‘J3d, M*. Sxmusl Hsuo*,
after a brief tines* of six days.
In the demise of this yonng man, the friends of
tbe deceased have sustained a sad, a mournful be*
rea cement —one which earth can never replace—
a breach in the happy family circle, which cone
but they who experience it, can properly realize.
He was one, whom all, with whom be bad any in
tercourse, respected and esteemed. He was amia
ble—he was kind. All his actions,both public and
private, manifested that be was possessed of a pure
heart and a Christian “spirit, overflowing with love
to mankiud.
If an act of mercy and kindness was to be
shown, be. was ever ready to perform that. 11 com
passion was called for, the tear of sympathy would
, fall from his eye, unreproved. But he is gone, and
his friends are now shedding many tears fur him. —
Bnl since God in his inscrutible Providence has
urged his claim upon him, by calling him away
from earth to a haven of rest evternnl, why should
they (eel-sad 7 It is for them, as they look upon the
casket robbed of its jewel, to weep and mourn over
their loDg separation, but not so with him—bis
immortal spirit has taken us upward dight, has
made its abode in the realms of exiutic bliss, in tbe
regions where all is spiritual, and where naught
exists to mar its peace, or disturb its repose m the
bosom oi us God. His death has left a varoum
here on earth, but we trust it bos filled a seat m
Heaven. His voice is hushed in death, bat another
is added to God's choir above, singing in nobler,
sweeter strums, than thiwe of earth, chanting loud
Alleluias lo his Redeemer God
Weep not friends for him—he has gone to a bet
tor country—a pure, a heaveuly one; but seek rather
that ••better part" which be possessed, m» that whrn
your race is run, you may. with him, be prepared to
«U down around jour Father's throne on high—and
let all be admonished to make sure work lor eternity
—teeing “that we know not (be day nor the hour
id waich (he Son oi Man comelh.”

Artificial lot—A gentleman residing at Apt
luuhtci In, named Gerne, is said to have discover
rd a cheap and expeditions method of making tea.
It is done by a machine consisting of two lorce
pumps, and it t« tbua described m a Southern pa

“Into tbe pump for rciadcn’.ation of air,a small
er pump injeeb water m a fine shower, while Ibe
air is condensing, and thus absorbs the heal of tbe
Dir rnat ta given out in-rhe net of compreasion.-
Between the condensing ond expanding pumps,
there is an air reservoir, which is of considerable
aixe, and made like a steam boiler This vessel w
intended u» receive the Condensed nir and retard
il» passage, ao aa to afford tune for its effective
cooling, and to act-aaa magazine of force lor tho
expanding engine. The expanding fore* pump it
tbe principal and most interesting feature of
whole, because it ia the agent in which the expan
sion of tbe atr and the production of cold fit** ***®
place All tho other parts must be Dteeljf adjiated
in proportion to this pan, for tbe making of the
ice economically. ,Tne absorption of the heat is
accelerated hy Iramersinc this ve»el m water, and
musing a jet of liquid to ne thrown iniu its tolertor,
as into the condensing pump,
This liquid » not coaiieaijblp, and it is wilh
drawn from a larger, though properly proportioned
quantity, performing its office of imparting besi to,
or in outer words, absorbing cold from the expand
ing air, it is returned through the eduction valves
of the engine. As the liquid of this cistern has its
heat diminished st every strobe of the engine, by
the abstraction of the iet at one temperature, and
its return at a lower, it is practically a reservoir of
cold—an accumulator of the refrigerative action of
every cylinder full of expanding air. It is thus fit
ted to bo the laboratory in which ice may be man
ufactured, and which it produces by abstracting
the caloric of fluidity from water, immersed in it in
suitable vessels.
Cold of au intensity of even hundreds of degrees
be'ow tbo atmosphere may be obtained by this pro
cess; but experiment shows that the temperature of
the cistern most favorable for the rapid production
of ice, ia at about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The ex
panded air partakes of the same temperature at tbe
same cistern, and, therefore, at 10 deg. Fahrenheit,
leaves it charged with a high degree of cold, whim
the economy of the scheme requires should not be
wasted- Instead, therefore, of being allowed to e*
cape into (be atmosphere, it is directed through an
apparatus —made like a brswen refrigeratory for
cooling worts—around which is placed the water
It is intended to prepare for congelation.
It has been ascertained that pumps of a cubic
foot capacity, worked at a temperature of IHTdo
grees Fahrenheit, and fifteen revolutions a minute,
are adequate to make a ton of ice per day.
Skcor's Submerged Wucki..—We observed
yesterday nl the Merchant's Exchange, the model
of a very ingenious machine, invented and patent
ed by Mr. James Secor, of this city, it is a sul*
merged wheel intended to propel machinery bv tbe
natural force of tbe current, without the aid of
dams. It is so arranged as that the current is lore
ed into a funnel shaped chamber, through which it
escapes upon a horizontal wheel, to which is at
tached a shaft which puts the machinery in motion
Tbe whole affair is very* simple, and the proprie
tor is entirely confident of its success. He thinks
it may be placed in auy stream with the ordinary
current, and that it will propel machinery with
great power, at much than by any ap
plication of water powenereiofore known. We
hope its usefulness will be fully tested by actual
experiment. If it succeeds it will certainly prove
a most valuable invention — St. Louts Intrlhgtn-
