I'mtn the de.-ieriptiou ol thia new etrun',1110, as jivi n ly the inventor, it promises to be a mo-l formida ble engine ol war. The vessel j? to be of iron, ami shot shell proof, she is to 'have greater speed than any vessel now afloar ; the engine an 1 propelling , tiparsutsarc to ue so piucuu 111:11 me inner sn.tii bo submerged and the whole engine out ot the woy of tho thct from the vessel of an enemy. She is to be of 1500 tons burthen, will need no figging, and with anthracite as fuel, it will emit neither sparks nor smoke to attract tin- t.ce. She will carry heavy (.una adopted t,.th tor alrnt and shells. Her pott holes will be but i.ttle larger than the mtmle oft gun, yet so ar.nngcd as to allo v it to he fired at any an- pie ; they will moreover be protected by move- (: screen capable of Wing withdrawn ami 0 replnced with fact ity. Mr. SiKriiENs litis alto invented a new spe- 1 vies ot shell lor the use , tins vessel. I hese shells arc hermetically sealed, audare effectual. ly secured from accidental expl.ah.ii, from fire or from violent concussion thev are perfectly safe, also, frtni injury by ubnierrion in water. They are eo constructed as to ex plode after having penetrated the object against which they are discharged and being elonga ted, contain three times as much powder as the common shell of tho same calibre: they do not icqniTe the use of mortars, but may be fired from euns of the ordinary kind. Mr. Stephens states that out of 120 of these shells which were dicchargcd into timbers, or into banks of sand, in nc teen exploded in the manner anticipated, lendcring their action sufficiently certain, e vineiug tho possession of properties not posses sed by any other shell, and producing effects which were actual iy tremendous. The follow ing is an account of an experiment made by Mr. Stephens, under the direction of the Gov cniiutwt, to ted the quality of these shells : A target of white oak was constructed in the strongest manner, by one of the bet ship buil ders : it measures five fret in thickness, and the timbers were secured together by iron screw polls passing entirely through, the whole. This target was peiforatcil by the explosion of a single shell, a hole being made in it through which a horse might have passed. . Seven tim bers of white oak, each measuring 12 by 10 in ches, were torn into shreds, and scattered to a great distance. The plan which wc have 'thus sketched from the statements of tho inventor, for constructing and arming this new species of vessel, has been matured,- with most of its details, for many years. The present was thought to be a favor able period liar its practical adoption : and in this lel ief Congress has concurred. The necessary appropriation for constructing the vessel with promptness has been made, and we may expect boon to hear that she -is afloat. Jla't. Amcr. A Connecticut Story, The following is related as a fact, having actually 4iappcded some years since itithoStatc of Connecticut: A man in rather indifferent circumstances surrounded by a large family, being entirely cnit of meat, hnd recourse to the bheep-fold of his neighbor, (a wealthy farmer,) for relief. Tliu neighbor having a flock oftheep, did not perceive that he had lost any, until one of the liue.st in the flock, very large and fat, was mi.ssiag and counting his sheep, found he had Inst several. Unable to account for this ex traordinary loss, lie resolved a few nights alter to watch. About midnight he observed ait un common disturbance among the sheep, by lite sudden appearance of a matt dressed in dis guise. Curiosity, us well as o observe tit conduct of the person as to find him out, indu ced him to he still. In the flock there w as a rain with w hom, it seems t lie man w as in ha bit of conversing as if he had been the actual owner of the sheep "Well. Mr. Rain," says the iiocitirnal sheep stealer, "I am come to buy another sheep ; have you any more to sell !" Upon which he rep! icd himself, as in the person of the ratn, "Yen, I have sheep to sell." By this time the owner of the sheep perceived him to tie one ofhis neighbors. "What will you tale for that lurge fut whether!" says the pur chaser. "Four -dollars," replied Mr. Kain. "That is a very high price," says the man ; "but as you uru so good us to wak 011 tor the pay, I think 1 will lake hmi. Wll .Mr. 1 la m," continues the honest hcfji buyer, f own fuller.

A few nights afterwards, wlieu he cuppt'd Jii neighbor was nearly out of melton, he cuugl.l the old ram and tied a little bag ttmier his neck, and placed a piece f paper bi tvvtt n his horns, 011 which he wrote in lirye I. tiers, I I1A'K l'().IK FOR M Y PAY.

Three weeks before it ticcurred, the sad catastrophe was distinctly represented in a dream to the mate of the Jew ess (one of the line of Btc.imers fur which the Medora was intented.) lie saw her making trial of her machinery saw her blow up saw the helpless victims of the explosion in the wa ter round her, strugling for life saw the boat sink, and identified dipt.

The Jew ess it will be remembered, left here for Balti more, on Thursday night, (after the explosion,) and passed in the bay, the next morning, the steamer Georgia, on her way down to Norfolk ; and when perceiving the G.'s fings half mast, he exclaimed in tone of jyrief "There ! my dream is out the Medora is b'own up !" The boats passed each other too far asnnder to hail, and it was not known to those on board the Jewess until her arrival at Baltimore, that mull was indeed the melancholy l'uct An Incident lit Ucorgla. Some two years ago the writer of this arti cle stopped at a tow n in Georgia. .Strolling a bout, he entered the graveyard. From a small but chaste marble obelisk, he read this iiiscriji- tion : A mother's memento to the memory ok an om.v son, who fell at the .massac uk or Fannin's regiment in MEXICO. He felt an interest to learn the hislory nf its erection. The story was briefly this. A youth of nineteen, the only sjii of a widowed mother a boy w hom she loved w ith all lira fondness ofmuternal affection was returning to his home from the University of Virginia, at the time Fannin was ruising his regiment of Georgians for the Texian service. Willi southern ardor, and with all the chivalrous recklessness of youth, he volunteered for the campaign. He briefly addressed a letter to his mother the day he embaikcd, inform ing her of his desti nation, and his hope of being instrumental in aiding the independence of Texas. Judge of the mother's feelings, when she received the letter. Without an instant's hesi tation she departed for Charleston, and sailed Iroiti thence to Galveelon, in hopes toovertuke her truint boy. Unfortunately, the schooner lost her foremast ; and w hen the moiher reach ed Texa-s, she found the regiment had march ed a week before for the scene of conflict. New s finally came of the capture of Funnin and his tinces by the Mexican army. Then came the intelligence of their masbacre, by order of the tyrant, Santa Ana. Her boy was in the front rank, ami was among the first that fell! Fur u lime she was deprived of her senses, and when she finally recovered, with n broken heart she returned to her home in Georgia. She erected this obelisk td the memory ifher son ; and one afteriMioii, a short time after re turning from tfio church yard, she was found dead, silting in her arm chair, holding the mimaiure of her boy. The mother's troubles were over! .V. 1'. Aurora. TIkiiiims W.

Senate, has reported in favour of a bill iiithoi jzinst the Secretaiy of the Navy to pur chase for the United Stntes the rii-ht to use Hah I it's anti-attrition metal. This metal is u-ed in uiuchiueiy especially in stej.n engines. The improvement which the inventor has secured by patent consists in the substitution if 1 soft, uuctious metal, fur the hard brass or composition heretofore used lo ust..in the jour. mis and other moving parts of midlines. This soft metd ia enclosed in a new improved marine., in ribs or ledges of harder metal, lo prevent its being spread by the weight of the shafting or by pressure. The Committee consider that the improvement is one which the Government ought to possess the right to rise. It secures a great diminution of flic lion, and a consequent saving of fuel, and saves one half or more than one half the oil heretofore ne cessary ; lcssfns the cost of the original construction of the brasses which receive the journals since they may bc made much lighter than bofore ; les sens the expenseof repairs, liecaum; tho soft metal wears longer than the hard, and the rib and ledges may be rclitej at small cost ; communicates in creased efficiency to the engines by the diminution of friction, and prevents the heating of the jour nals, crank-pins, and other moving parts of the ma chinery. The accompanying leslimonuU healing witness to the value of lhi improvement are from the most respectable sources. Mr. Kuuicsov, the dis tinguished engineer, now employed in the con stiuclion uf the wur steamer under the superinten dence of Capl. Stockton, spraks of the unti-attri lion metal aa indispensable. Other experienced engineers commend it very highly. Among the letters on the subject e observe one from ('harlks IIowahu, Cm. President of the lialtimore and Susquehanna Kail hVad Company, in which be stales that the metal in question baa been used with eminent success in the company's machinery, the right of Using it having !een purchased for fl.OSO.

In the course of the debate on Ihe New York Custom House Keport, Mr. Stanley aU luded to a certain Committee, and said 1 "But I refer to the proceedings of thia and of all other investigating committees especially lo this especially to the gentleman himself. He dog ged the Secretary of Ihe Treasury, the Secretary of State, the Postmaster Genrr d, and I think others, and riamined them. Many of his questions were voted down one, I rcmcn,lcr, his own Whig friends on the committee against him he solitary (delicate) ami alone! Sir, I said Mr. Whitney had been bull dogued with a vengeance before the com mittee. The gentleman undertook, with an affec tation of great regard for an absent friend, to defend Mr. Peyton. tSir, I never assailed Mr. Peyton. I had forgotten at the time he was on the committee ; and w hat I said on thai subject referred entirely to the grntleiwin liimsrlf. I referred to the statement of Mr. Whitney, or io the seech of the gentleman himself, in w hich be "interposed in a friendly man ner," when he said, "if that arm had moved an inch, he (Whitney) should have died on the spot." Mr. 'i-r. Does the gentleman aay I bull-dogged Reuben Mi Wbimey ? Mr. Sianley. I mads the rema.k to you in re ply to what you said about "dogged" at the heels of the commission, rs. ' Mr. Wise, after re e ding what Mr. Stanley had I formerly observed, sa d this bull-dogging was in re- I rdv to that. Whitney was la-fore Garland's com ' mifee : it was with Bailie Pevton be had the onar tel. I was present as a memlrer of that committee. I a-k the geut'rman from Noith Carolina again, if he meant to say I bull-dogged Whitney in the committee. Mr. Stanly. I say again distinctly I made toe reply about bu'l-doging for tho genl'em n from Virginia, and intended it for him, and him alone let him take it. Mr. Wise. That is evnctly such a reply as I should have expected from a coward. Mr. Stanly. Mr. Speikcr t am aware of that ; I ' expected all I hut. I hae seen him pursue that j i,BM before. It is all old trick. This sett will tes- I tify who Was "a coWard"ut Ihe eitra session ; we j nll know who g .t ihe worst of that. Lei the gen- tlemin try me; he ahall see who is a Coward. Hd has mistaken bis man. I was not burn yesterday. I know his unworthy arts to get the advantage, buthe will nut succeed. I said, deliberately, he had acted like a bull dog lo nn unarmed, defence less man, a Mr. Whitney Was. Further on Mr Stjnly remarked; "I regret, Mr. S,ieaker, that I have been com pelled to say anything of a rcrsonal character. I have told the House thai t quit all communication with the number from Yirgiaia; believing that lo submit to his insolence or tight was necessary. I rould not submit ; as to fighting, when the gentle, man desms that. I shall give him an answer. And now, sir, in conclusion, I have only lo say to the member ffom Virginia, "Lay on, McDutT" lam ready to meet any issue lo which it may b ad." The above is fmui the Intelligencer. The Madisonian also has a statement of the all air, which concludes thus : Mr. Wise then said, "Sir, the answer to my question ia Jnt such a one as I eifted to oblun 1 from A t ow amii," and, pointing hia ringer directly at Mr Stanly, added, "who now ataads before me." A Washington letter says : "There is some talk of a duel btlweeu Messrs. Wise and Stanly ; but I apprehend there ia little danger of such a re sult. In accordance with the code which operates in uch matter, ihe onus of the challenge would rest with Mr Wise. Uut to Use his own expression on a former occasion, "there w ill be no fight." An AnYay. The Washington correspondence of the I. S. Gazette, gives the following account of an all'rsy between Mr. Stanly and Mr. Wises Aa Mr. Stanly and Mr. Wise were coming from the race con rue yesterday evening, it unluckily so hapened that they rode out of the yard, in which theit horse had been tied, nearly abreast of each other, and proceeded in that way some distance on the road. Wise, as I undeistand, keeping hia eye fixed fiercely upon Stanly, and the latter, occasion ally, turning his upon him. As they were ap. proaching a large mud hole that encoded aeiuaa the road, Stanley's borne which was a head-strong awkward, clumsy animal, shyed off lan against Wise's w ith such force as lo throw the right leg of one, and the left leg of the other rider out of their stirrups, Stanley's horse at the same time passing ahead. Mr. H. endeavored to hold up, and wa in the art of turning to apologise to Mr. W. and slate that it was an accident, rhen Wise i kMirrrd r).i ward and with a loaded rattan, struck i Mi. S. over ihe head. The force of the blow was o great that the ball of the rattan broke through the crown of hw hat just above the leniple, and the rim was also broken.
