The National Intelligencer has intelligence from passen gers by the Label, who state that Havana w is filltd with rumors of revolt on the eastern part of the Island. Three com panies of the regiment of Cantabria (?) : re said to have thrown down their arms aud gone over to the patriot. The re minder of the regiment has been publicly di.slandcd. It is also rumored at Havana I hat the people of San Juan dc los Reme dies are in open insurrection, and have established a provisional government. The reported loss of three hundred Spanish troops is said to have occurred from the Finking of a scow whilst crossing the river.

Xeic York Expras. The use of Fruit Instead of standing in any fear of a gen erous consumption of ripe fruits, wc re p.ird them as positively conducive to health. The very maladies commonly assumed to have their origin in a free use of apples, peaches, cherries, melons, and wild ber ries, have been quite as prevalent, if not equally destructive, in seasons of scarcity. No one, we imagine, ever lived longer or freer from the paroxysms of disease, by discarding the delicious fruits of the land in which he finds a home. On the con trary, they are necessary to the preserva tion of health, and are therefore caused to make their appearance at the very time when the condition of the body, operated upon by deteriorating causes nt always uadtrstood, requires their grateful, reno vating influence.

We are informed by a gentleman, that on Sunday morning, a shanty located at Browntown, Bradford county, Pa., was found in ruins, the place having been burnt some time on Saturday night. On making an examination, the charred remains of four persons, consisting of Mr. Fisher and son, of South Wilkcsbarrc, employers on the caual, and also two others, a cook in the shanty, and another person whose name has not been ascertained, were found among the burnt rubbish. It is supposed that the sum of about 33000 was in the shanty, and from the fact that the men were to have been paid oil on Monday morning, it is believed that some evil disposed person robbed the place, and then added a deeper crime by arson and murder. Philad. Sun, 20th. We learn by Telegraph this morning, that the Messrs. Fishers had been at To wanda, on Saturday, for their estimates, and retired late at night A Mr. Cool- baugh slept in the same building : he was aroused by the fire, and gave the alarm, but failed to get any response, or any sign of the condition of the other inmates. He saved his life by jumping from the win dow, breaking an arm and otherwise inju ring himself. The suspicion of robbery and of murder is very strong. The re mains of Mr. Fisher and son were buried at Wilkcs-Barrc, yesterday. tl.In ransacking the shelves of a book store up street the other day, wc came up on an old "Geography of Pennsylvania, in which, under the head of 'Union Coun ty,' we found the following unique and refreshing description of the Blue lull.

One of them has a portico,tcttct is rufjKHrt'cd over lite river; the other leans so much towards the river, that we are ready to think it must be blown down. These houses belong to a bachelor, who lives here in solitude. His name is Mason, called Jonna Mason, lie formerly had steps, leading from the house down to the river, had a swing, which exteuded half across the river, and another in the house, in which he swum himself to sleep. He has a large summer house, a spring house, aud fruit trees of various kinds; has a pair of horses, but never rides, or rather ucver did until lately. Now he is old, he sometimes rides in the stage.

Jly 1 Correspondence of the Lew ia burg Chronicle. New York, July 7, 1851. Mr. Editor : At 6 o'clock A. M. on the 5th, I took the cars at Washington for the north and east. After taking break fast in Baltimore, we entered the cars of the Philadelphia Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad, and reaehed Philadelphia about 5 o'clock. This road appears to be in good condition. The cars were however indifferent, and they made very poor time indeed I have seldom made a journey over a railroad that appeared so very tire some, and the complaint among the pass engers was very general. If I had not wished to reach New York the samo eve ning, I should have waited till noon, and taken the steamboat, which route I am told is much more pleasant At Havrc-dc Grace I took a last look at the noble Sus quehanna which I do not expect to sec again till I come to where it is a rippung brook in the mountains of New York. Although I merely passed through Philadelphia, I could not help noticing the immense strides this beautiful city is taking in building aud other improvements. She is stretching out on every side, and apttcars like a giant running a raee, with her Atlantic rivals. In my opinion Phil adelphia is, and always will be, the largest city on the American continent. Look at her splendid location, the beautiful man ner in which it is laid out, and the bcauty and neatness of her buildings ; the rapid ity with which it is growing, and the fact that she has no natural boundaries to con tract her progress, and you certainly will coincide with mc that she has not now, and will not have a superior. If you con trast her with New York as a commercial mart, and as a perfect Babel, perhaps you must concede to New York the palm. While New York has some hundred thou sand mere inhabitants, Phila. has many thousand more bouses and how loud does this fact speak of the comparison in the comfort of the people of the two cities. In Philadelphia there is scarcely a mechanic so poor that he can not rent an entire house to himself, while in New York the person must be in very good circumstances if he can rent the one half of even a good two story house ; and even then, he must go up the city some 2 to 4 miles, while in the lower, or business part, the business man must be pretty lucky if he is able to rent a room to do business in, and many a poor mechanic must be satisfied if he can get a garret for his shop. At 5 o'clock we took the cars of the N. J. Trans. Co. for Jersey city. It hasbecu my fortune to travel much over the various railroads at the east and north, and I must say for precision in time, and the easy motion of the cars, I must give this road the preference. This line and the Camden & Ambny route arc all owned by the same company, at the head of which stands the noted Com. Stockton. These companies about which we have heard so much news paper discussion as being unblushing mo nopolies, are from peculiar geographical position, roads that can have but little op position, (on account of the great interest the State has in the road, they will not willingly grant other charters,) while they enjoy the raro fortune of connecting not only two of our largest cities, but being midrway in the travel between the south, north and east. They invariably run very heavy trains, and most always loaded down ; and until in a year or two charged (especially tho northern or Brunswick route) $1 fare, and only came down to $3, when public opinion became so high that oral tlwy could not face it If they could come down to two cents a mile (what all the New York roads have done,) I am sat isfied they would make more money, and certainly would do, what all roads of the kind are intended to do, benefit the people at large. Wc reached Jersey city a little after 9 o'clock, and in a few moments more I was mingling with the multitudes of this modern Babel. To the mechanic (as I am) there is very much to interest and instruct in this city, and it is probable I shall de scribe some of the large mechanical estab lishments that I have visited and may vis it during my stay here. Perhaps in justice to your numerous readers among the hardy and independent yeomanry of some of the fairest valleys the sun ever shines opon I mean the valleys of Union and Northumberland counties I should say a little more abont the coun try I have passed through. To them I would say that after I passed York county, until I came to Wilmington, Del., I saw but very little in the way of farming to in terest or instruct The great drouth about Washington has dried up both gardens and fields, and on the 3d nearly, if not all the grain was cat and taken in; and corn and potatoes at that time presented rather a poor appearance. The land is broken and very sandy, and, except where it is very highly cultivated, presents a poor appear ance. From Wilmington to Philadelphia, and thence toTrcnton; the country is beau tiful and in a very high state of cultivation. 1 Thence to N. York along the line of Rail Road I cannot say as much. From here I shall go to northern and western N. York through tho famous Genncsee country, and thence through a portion of Canada, and back to this city, when I shall make the tour of New England, and in some of my letters I will take occasion to draw a comparison of the general features of the country. This morning, I took the omnibus lor the Novelty Iron Works of Siillman.Allen &i Co. at the corner of Dry Dock and 12th Sts. Every entrance to this establishment, which covers several acres, is guarded by a watchman by day, and the interior is protected by several at night. On applic ation at Ihe office for admission, I was told I could pass through every part of it, if I would not converse with ihe hands. To this I yielded a ready acquiescence, as no one who does not carry on a mechanical esta blishment can form any idea of the annoy ance and pecuniary loss arising from per sons engaging the attention of hands by conversing with them. This establishment gives employment to from 600 to 1000 men, who earn Irom $6 lo 912 and $15 per week, all working on Ihe ten hour system. This establishment is so immense ibat the limits of my letter will not allow a minute description of it. Turning lo the right I first cutered the machine shop. Here huge steam engines for steamers, sugar plantations. Sic, were under way. Here a huge lathe, turning immense shafts of several tons weight ; there a chuck lathe that would swing a wheel ol 25 feet dtam etcr, was facing off the cj liuder head of an immense marine engine; while further on was the cylinder itself, standing up in its natural position, inside ol which was slowly revolving a shaft on the arms of which the cutters were placed that were turning it out. Whilo all around Hire lathes and planing machines, each performing their respective offices. The second story ol this building was filled with machinery and men for doing lighter parts of the work. The upper story was appropritrd to makiug (he steam indicators, and indeed all the brass work used about the work. In an adjacent building was the boiler shop, in another the forge, and in others the iron and brass founders, &c. A detailed de script ion of this immense establishment, will be found in a late No. of Harper's Magazine, profusely illustrated by cngia vings ; and will amply repay a perusal. In passing through the different build ings 1 noticed clocks without hands, with slots in the glass, and was informed by one of the owners that tl.ey were used ss checks lo the night watchmen. At O o' clock in the evening there is a circular piece of paper put on instead of the hour hand, and as the watchmen pass through the building at iheir appointed hours, they must, with a pencil drawn through the slot in the glass, make a mark on the paper. These are in the morning all taken to the office and filed, and tell wiih unerring cer tainty the position of the watchmen thro' the night. Some establishments have clocks with a wheel with small holes in them in to which the watchmen drop small pins, and he can only do it at certain minutes. The weather here is very hot, and as 1 am anxious to get away soon as I can, I shall take the steamer lo morrow evening for Albany, and thence cars for the west. Yours, Mechanic. News $? Notions.
