recourse to to prevent inflammation ; this aill not du sad the proof is, that uniformly, the more delicate the subject, the greater is the degree of susceptibili, to its attacks. But in fractures, we have really no inflam- mation to dread, nor blood to spare, fur nature will require more than her usual supply to repair the injury sustained, and, if needlessly subtracted, the period o f cure will be proportionally prolonged. With respect to cold applications, we do not always sufficiently discriminate the nature of the complaint fur which they are used. For pain arising from inflamma tory action, cold is an excellent application; but for pain arising from contusion of parts, warm fomenta tion' are by far the most soothing and efficient. Iris a trite observat ion, that old fractures are as sen sitive LO atmospheric changes as the barometer.— Where warmth alone has been used the writer bus new known this to occur. Factory Girls.—The Lowell Vox Popnlichronicles the fact that a rich sou'hern man, on s visit to that ci ty, happened to find at work, in one of the factories, a beautiful girl, the perfection of his ideal, to whom he at length was introduced, and finding MT all he desi red, by the consent of her friends, and amid the con gratalatiorur of many, she became , his blushing bride, and has gone to preside over his home in the sunny south. The realities and romances of the factories are many and interesting. Tr And now we will add one remarkable incident in the life of a "Factory Girl," which-has just been communicated to us. Miss Irene Nichols, daughter of Mr N Nichols, of Monmouth, Kennebec co., while at work in a factory in Dorchester, Mass some four years since, was offered very liberal wages to go to Mexico, and engage in a fac tory just established there. She with eight others ac cepted the offer. While there, she became acquaint 'a with Farrera, the prep- tit revolting and successful General, with wham she contracted marriage. She aide a visit to her friends in Maine, last summer, ; during which she received frequent letters from F'er. sera. She left here in July or August last, for Mexi co, via New York, where she obtained a license, and was united in marriage to Gen Ferretti, by his repre sentative, the General not being able to leave Mexico step, rendered necessary, as the parties were both Protestants, and could not be married in Mexico, a Catholic country.

Learning of Ike Peasantry of Ireland.—l have already spoken - of some old-fashioned learning of the people of Kerry, even of the lower classes. I met a remarkable instance of this on the steam-boat on the Shannon. An elderly Kerry man was reading an an itient manuscript, written in the Irish language, and In those peculiar old Cel-tic characters in which that tongue is still written. The manuscript consisted of many divisions—some small and some large—which, to judge from the different shades of the paper. most lave been joined together at various periods. It was dry wisely and neatly written. Some, the man said. Isis added himself, some parts he had inherited From his father and grand father, and others had been in his family long before them. On my asking him what was the subject, he told me that it contained the most iinautiful old Irish poems, tales of wonderful events, Idatories and essays of antiquity; and among others, translation of a treatise on natural history, by Aris totle! Being still a novice in these things, T scarcely trusted my.eyes and ears; but I had subsequently many oppor tunities of remarking how interesting and antique all tralitiens are among the Irish—a people who believe that their letters are still the same as the Phmmicians ?fought into the land, who attribute some of their rt. tat to Oriental fire-worshippers, and who will tell you with the same face, anecdotes and sayings of Aristotle :and of the late King George 111. I was twice told by 'common Irishmen of Aristotle as of a wise and power fel king or Greece, and they seemed to entertain some -such idea of him as they did of King Solomon. They *re a people who believe that a Scythian king, who 'married a daughter of that Pharoah who expelled the Jews from Egypt. after having conquered Spain, had •moms overto their island. `I inquired if there were any others in company who had manuscripts in their possession, and another man of the same country opened his traveling chest, strip ed with blue oil colors, and drew out from under his slight-shirt and boots an old manuscript.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 23. far The poor Natives in this city are a 'broken down and melancholy party. Their humiliating de feat at the Mayor's election was a blow that almost I finished them, but ut the election for city officers on Tuesday, they "fizzled out" completely. They very naturally expected that,in, consideration of the services they rendered the whigs at the fall election, in getting up slanders against the democratic candidates, they had some claims upon the whig ma jority in the Councils. But they, alas ! were doomed to realize what all must who trust in whig promises. They were disappointed, deceived ,and insulted. Offices were freely conferred upon foreigners and squatters, but those who were "to the manor born," or who had c ver taken an active part in the native movement, were scornfully rejected. One of the candidates for an important office, was supported because he had a foreign qualification; he was elected, while a native, who, we believe, was born in the city, did not get one vote. Others were proscribed because they voted far Mr. Rinehart, and foreigners were elected to fill the offices to which they aspired. Upon the whole, the poor natives have fared badly in the city, and although we regard them, as a party. with no friendly feeling, we think they had a right to expect better treatment from the whigs than they re ceived last Tuesday. When whiggery was in trouble, the Natives used every effort to aid them, and now, when whiggery is in power, it uses all its efforts to destroy the poor Natives. This is ungreatful, and al though the treatment is no worse than they deserve, for the course of infamous slander and falsehood they have pursued since the origin of their party, yet it is not what they had a right to expect from the whigs. ['We understand the late toll Collector at the Aqueduct, has a very poor opinion of the whit major ity in Councils, and thinks them entirely incompetent to appreciate men of merit. He has resolved that hereafter, they will have to hunt up people to make affidavits for themselves. They need not expect him to do it. POLITICAL JUBILE2,-..W111 understand tbe-whig Committee are deliberating on theproper manner of celebrating their recent triumph in the city Councils, and particularly the glorious victory achieved over the weighmaster at the Hay Scales. Some have pro posed that they should commemorate bya dinner,but a recollection of the trouble they had to pay for the Tip pecanoe festival, and a fear that the democrats would POI again contribute to pay for whig fully, has render ed that mode of celebrating unpopular. We are told that a majority of them incline to a public procession, to start from the Hay Scales. [which is to be brilliant ly illuminated on the occasion] and to march through the streets with suitable emblems, mottoes, songs, etc. If this plan is adopted, we suppose a programme of the performance will be published, and we will endea vor to get a copy for the information of our readers. MAINE U. S. SENATOR.—The lion. JOHN FAIR FIELD wee re-elected U S Senator, by the Legislature of Maine, on the 16th inst. Mr F. was reelected ithout yipposi Lion. THE AQEDUCT.—This work is progressing rapidly, under the direction of the enterprising Contractor, Mr ROEBLING. He has been engaged for some days in extending across the river the wires forming the cables on which the structure is to rest, and will probably soon begin to put up the wcod work, which we are told is nearly all framed and ready for putting together. When we last spoke to Mr Roebling. he expressed con fidence that he would have the Aqueduct finished by the Ist of March. If cot finished by that time, how ever, it will still, we have no doubt, be ready before the New York Canal is open, and before the throng of the business season commences. The new Aqueduct will be a ereat work, creditable to the ingenious build er, and of the utmost importance to the prosperity of Pittsburgh. Its completion will be hailed as a memo rable and joyful event, by all who wish our city well. STRVIGE RVIISOR.—The Frederick Herald men tions a rumor that an incorporsued Read Company, in that section of the State, who, at a former session of the legislature, obtained a right to a lottery to raise something short of $lOO.OOO have voted the rum of five thousand dollars, to be paid out of the first proceeds of the lottery, as a fee, to a distinguished politician thereabouts for getting this lottery grant through the Legislature. The report further states that this politician was, at the time of the passage of the bill by the legislature, in a high and command ing official station, rendering the propriety of the ex- ercise of his influenee in such case for a pecuniary consideration, a very questionable matter. QUARRELING ABOUT 'THE THOFITS.-II is said that a quarrel exists between the publishers of the Onder dank trial and the person who.reported it. The Ap pletons announce that the delay attending the publica tion is occasioned by the necessary care and accuracy in preparing for the press so large a volume. It is promised immediately. Another statement, however, is that the delay is owing to a dispute between the re porter and publishers. The reporter. who is a member of the daily press, claiming a large bonus for his eer y ices, and holding back the speeches of the counsel as collateral security. No MONUMENT.—We understand that the whip think it unnecessary now to raise the proposed Clay Monument. The glorious achievement of turning a man 70 years old, out of the office of Weighmaster at the Hayscales, will be sufficient gratification to the whig candidate,witbout building a pile of stones to re mind the world that be was rejected by the people in 1844. Henry Clay is now revenged. What if James K Polls did defeat him in the Presidential cautest,have not the whigs Councils of the city of Pittsburgh ousted Charles Glenn from the Hayscales. This is almostas great a triumph as electing their candidate for the Presidency would be. We again admit that the whip are a great and magnanimous party. A Strocimis STORY.—The Milton, N C Chronicle of the 15th inst. says:—"Turner Johnson, of Orange, was shockingly murdered by his daughter (about 12 years of age,) on the night of the 6tb inst.. Report says that ifohnson went home intoxicated—found no one about but this little girl—threatened to kill her if she did'nt kill him—laid himself down before the fire, whereupon his daughter approached him axe in hand, and with one blow, split his skull open'! The daugh ter has been committed to jail. This horrid deed may excite the surprise of some of our readers, but nothing surprises us now-a-days." A VILE Lew.—Thirteen colored persons were im prisoned at New Orleans on the 13th inst.. who had arrived on different vessels from the five states.— This was done in accordance with a law of Louisiana forbidding free people of color to come within the limits of chef:hate. A Pots: bIAJOISITY.—A day or two before the lectinn in thh county, says the Mississippi Guard, two negroes were discussing politics, and from words they came to blows. The owner cf one of the negroes hear• ! ing the rumpus, thrashed both of them, giving the Clay negro ten lashes, and the Polk negro fifteen.— The latter, after walking about a hundred yards, shrugged his shoulders, and sbouted at the top of his i lungs, "Hurrah for Polk! five a head yes!" BASE hinantu.—On the 2d inst„ a d , sperado, who was under indictment in Alabama, and had fled to Raymond, M iss., by the name of Granberry, shot Dr. Ball, who had been sent on to demand him. The Doctor died immediately. His son, who was in com pany, fired at Granberry, but missed his aim, when G. snapped a pistol at him and run; was pursued by young Ball who inflicted a sev!re wound in the knee of Gran berry, and would have killed him with a knife had he not been taken off. The assassin was re-arrested by the Sheriff and lodged in jail. Vnum Taxes.—Galveston dates by the steamship New York, at New Orleans, was received to the 7th inst, Speaking of Annexation, the Galveston News says, that if Col. Benton's bill passed the United States Senate, which that paper thinks is likely, "eve ry true Texan will reject it with the utmost contempt and indignation." The News of the 7th inst., says that there is a ru mor afloat, from the seat of Government, to the effect that Gen Duff Green hag been harshly treated by the Executive of Texas. No particu'ars are given. THoMAs W. DoRR.—•We learn from the Provi dence Transcript, that tho Rhode Island House of Representatives on Friday passed an act, by a vote of 49 to 13, to liberate Thomas W. Durr, on condition that he will go before the Supreme Court and take the oath of allegiance to the State. It was supposed that the act would be concurred in by the Senate in the afternoon. The Warden of the State Prison is empowered by it, to communicate the act to the prisoner, and if he signified his willingness to take the oath, to conduct him before the Court. DEtrit or BLUE Mex.—The Picayune of the lath trays, "we regret to learn that the famous race horse Blue Dick died yesterday morning, from inflammation of the stomach. In his prime he was a splendid racer, but was so unfortunate as to be on the turf at the same time as Fashion, We hear it rumored that he was poisoned, bet feel loth to credit the story till we learn further. IN Cusronr.—We learn from Washington that Mr McNulty, the defaulting Clerk, has given him• self up, and is now in the custody of the Marshal' of the District. The editor of the Quincy Herald, who was recently "sacked" at a Sieging School by • damsel of an u•cerlair. age, perpetrates the following ill-na tured remark: "The safest place in a thunder storm,_ is on the larboard side of an ugly old maid. Being a decided non conductor, there is no danger of her attracting any thing." THE LATE MURDER The manifest interest and excitement on the part of the public, in reference to the murder of Mr. Paul Roux, seems unabated ; and since the arrest of Henry M'Curry, charged with the horrid deed, a most intense anxiety seems to pervade the whole com munity, lest he should escape the righteous penalty of the law, by the perpetration of self-destruction. In addition te the effort to destroy hi.nself, by cutting his own throat, soon after his arrest and confinement in the New York prison, we learn that be has since at tempted to strangle himself by swallowing a handker chief which he wore around his neck, even while his arms are in the limits of a straight-jacket. We feel confident, however, that every precaution will be taken to prevent his committing suicide in future. Officer A G Ridgely laid before Guy. Pratt, on Sat urday last, the necessary vouchers, and obtained a requisition on Gov Wright, of New York, for the per son of Henry McCurry, charged as above stated.— Officers Ridgely and Hays, (of the firm of Hays, Zell, Ridgely & Cook,) leave this morning for Albany, N. Y., to obtain the warrant of Gov Wright, and will im mediately proceed to the city, if permitted, of which there can be no doubt, to take charge of McCurry. They will probably arrive, with their prisoner, in this city, on Thursday next. Though McCurry would not fail to' embrace any opportunity: to destroy himself. however desperate the effort, we feel satisfied that in the hands of two such careful guardians, such fin lorn hopes of escaping the gallows must fail him. Ridgely has certainly done his duty in arresting McCurry, and "Old Hays ' says, "If I don't lodge him safely in Bal timore city jail, then they may hang me." In connection with the murder of Mr Bout, there has no doubt arisen, in the minds of many persons, o pinions prejudicial to, the proprietor of the tavern in which the melancholy affair happened, and as an act of justice to Mr Nolin, we may say that no person per haps more deeply regrets the tragic affair than him self. Upon hearing of the arrest of McCurry he was overjoyed even to tears. On Saturday lest, a letter ar rived at the city postuffice, directed to Mr Nolin, post marked "New York," and, as might be supposed, un der the circumstances alluded to, the suspicion that it might have been from McCurry, or might in some way he connected with the murder, generally prevailed.— These anspicicms were communicated to Mr Nolin, and, with a view to his own interest as well as to disa buse public opinion. he sent for A H Pennington, Esq, who, with several other gentlemen, repaired to Nolin's house, and the letter being placed in the hands of the magistrate, with the seal unbroken, he opened it, read it alond in the hearing of those present, and it was found to be from a dealer in "black sand," who had recently stopped at Nolin's, but in no way connected with the murder, farther than expressing much sur prise at hearing of it, and asking some questions as to the supposed murderer. We mentioned at the time of the murder, that a paper, containing a large quanti ty of some white acid substance, had been found in the room where the deed had been perpetrated, it has since been analyzed, and ascertained to be arsenic. It may have been intended as a substitute for the axe and the knife; or to destroy the assassin, in case of detec- tion. [Baltimore Clipper, Jan 20. Count Etiovilds.—No one here will fail to recog nize in the hero of the above, the worthy who figured so conspicuously, .in Burlington during several months in the year 1938. He was caressed, feted, invited to dining and fishing parties—Tin fine, was a lion of the biggest size—and finally decamped, leaving some of •ur wise ones minus a few odd fifties which they bad lent his nubility until he could get his bills of exchange negotiated. A history of his adventures since leaving here, would, in the hands of a skilful novelist, bourn a romance of the first water. After leaving Maine— where his career was similar to what it was here— the next beard from him was in France, where he pas sed himself off as a general of the U States artillery, commanding a division of 10,000 men, and was on the point of being married to a young lady of wealth and beauty. The American Minister of Paris, on applica tion, denounced him as an arrant imposter, and be had to leave. Some time subsegeent we hear of him at Leghorn, where he worked himself into the good gra ces of a party of English nobility on their travels, and on parting took no small pinion of baggage by mis take for his own.

Retreat and Defeat of Santa Ana By the steamship New York, at New Orleans, from Galveston, dates thence have been received of the 7th inst. Below is copied from the Galveston News, some lute information of the progress of the revolution in Mexico. Santa Ana's enemies appear to be entirely to much for him. From the la test official news at Matamoras. from the interior of Mexico, it appears that Gen Paredas at the head of 8,000 men, marched against Santa Ana, who at that time had under his command 13,000 troops.— On the approach of Paredas, Santa Anna immediately retired, great numbers of his soldiers deserting his cause. This retreat extended to the city of Puebla, where he was attacked by Pared us and defeated. Gen Santa Ann, who made his escape, was compel led to disguise himself and take conveyance in a com mon coach of the country. The particulars of the bat tle are not given, but we presume the victory was a chieved by Gen Paredas at great expense of life, as i 4 usually the case in Mexican warfare. In northern Mexico the revolution has been general throughout the country. At the last accounts, Gen Ca aisles in conjunction with Gen Arista was marching at the head of a large force against Gen Woll, who still held out in favor of centralism. The revolution broke out in the city of Matamoras on the 29th ult. On the receipt of the news in Mata moros of the success of the Federal party. the citi zens opposed to Centralism and in favor of Federal ism, assembled at the most public places and immedi ately denounced the tyrant, and publicly proclaimed for the Federal cause. Great excitement prevailed in the city during the outbreak—Gen. Cela was seized and imprisoned—the shout for liberty and dowa with Centralism became general in all quarters, until the revolutionists became triumphant. In Monterey the same scenes were enacted as in other cities, but of a more sanguinary character.— The particulars we have not received, further than an account of the death of Gen Jose Maria Ortega, Gee -ernor of the city of Monterey, who was publicly butch ered fur his faithful adherence to the cause of Santa Ana. Capt Jacques, of the brig Rnver, arrived at Gal veston on the 9d instant from Havana, reported that when he sailed a rumor had reached that city of the capture and imprisonment of Santa Ana at Vera Crux. FROM NEW GRANADA By the brig Tam O'Sharaer, we have letters and papers from Carthagena to the 151.13 ult. The brig Chillies, which arrived at Carthagena Dec Bth, from New York, carried out Mr G M Totten, Chief Engineer of the Canal about to be constructed in New Granada, together with his family, two assis tant engineers, two steam engineers for the manage ment of the engine which is to be employed in excava ting, and several other persons connected with the same enter prise. The papers express much gratifica tion at the arrival of this company. A meeting of American residents had been held at Carthagena, in consequnece of the removal of Den Ramon Leon Sancha front the office of II S Consul, and the appointment of Mr Knees in his place. The resolutions adopted by the meeting are highly compli mentary to Mr Sancha, and will so far relieve him from any unpleasant feeling he might have at finding himself suddenly removed from office. In a pecuniary point of view, the office is of no value. Extract of a letter dated Carthagena,- December 15th, 1844. Mr Blackford has not yet arrived on the coast.— His detention in Bogota is caused by the unreasonable delay on the River of Mr Dixon, the Messenger from Washington conveying his leave of absence. He ought surely arrive now in a very few days; otherwise ho will lose the opportunity of going in the U S brig Oregon, which vessel has been waiting since the 14th of Oct., but must leave about the 20th inst., in conse quence of her not having then over thirty days pro visions.

A Great Pumpkin Story.—At this season, the newspapers abound in paragraphs chronicling the ex istence of monstrous apples, enormous beets, mam moth squashes and pumpkins approaching in sire to I young mountains. Some of these accounts seem al -1 17106 t incredible—but none that we have seen are hardly so marvellous as a desCription of a pumpkin, which grew on the Swamscot river, in New Hampshire, and which was related to us by a gentleman of un doubted veracity. A farmer accidentally dropped a pumkin seed on some alluvial land on the bank of the river, and a few weeks after, he was surprised to fiud an enormous vine growing there. with leaves as largess a dining table, and stem as large around as a hoe handle. He did not visit the spot again till September, when he found that the pumpkin vine had increased amazingly, and bad extended across the river, (which was about twen ty rods wide in this place) and was lost in an alder swamp. He remarked that it was mighty strange, and thought no more of it until the following spring, when crossed the river on the pumpkin vine, and found, sur rounded with bushes, a pumpkin of monstrous size indoed! He gazed upon it with astonishment, and soon heard strange sounds, whit la seemed from the heart of this enormous vegetable. Being rather a timid man, he has ened to Borne of his neighbors, told them the awful story and requested their assistance.— They armed themselves with axes, clubs and pitchforks and accompanied him to the spot. The most appalling noise still seemed toissoe from the entrails of the pumpkin. But being resolute men. they resolved tofathom the mystery, and forthwith assaulted, and after fifteen minutes hard labor, out open the pumpkin, when out bolted a monstrous sow, followed by her offspring, which consisted of 9 beau tiful. thrifty pigs. about six weeks old. it appears ' that the farmer had missed the sow (then a poor, puny creature) in the fall, and after much search, had given her up tor lost. Subsequent events, however, proved that she had crossed the river at that time on the pumpkin vine, and had eaten into the pumpkin, which furnished her with a habitation and food, and for her little ones, too, until she was so unceremonious ly turned out of house and home.
