the exact moment of his dissolution." He
was at all times feeble in bodily health,
and his death was hastened by dropsy in
the chest. Pope was never married.
Thus the three great poets of the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth ceri.
turies have no living descendants at this
period.
The four or five latter years of Shaks
peare's life, he passed in dignified ease,
in profound meditation, and in universal
respect, at his native town of Stratford.
Pope obtained, from the sale of the Iliad
X5, 310, and from the Odyssey 2,685.
He enjoyed for many years the retreat of
Twickenham, where many of his later
productions were written.
The Great Diseorery.
Intense interest is felt in the discovery
of Mr. Paine, of producing light and heat
from water, and the New York Tribune
has the following in reference to the trial
Bhortly to be made at the Astor House, in
New York. Professor Henry, of the
Smithsonian Institute, at Washington does
not believe in it, and gives certain reasons
which, in his opinion, prove it to be im
practicable. The Tribune says:
But the opinion of an individual can
have little effect in settling the public mind
as to whether Mr. Paine has producedjthe
mightiest discovery yet made, or only a
grand and ingenious humbug. That ques
tion cannot be answered by abstract rea
soning, or general assertions on cither side,
but only by a conclusive experiment, on
such a scale and in such a manner as to
silence every doubt. Such an experiment
we are happy to say is now on foot. Ar
rangements are in progress for lighting the
Astor House by this process, and it is ex
pected that the trial will be made within a
mouth, as soon indeed, as the machine
can be prepared for the purpose. That
establishment is now lighted by gas made
by its proprietors on the premises, and has
no connection with any gas company
whatever. The pipes and burners now
used are pefectly adapted to burn Mr.
Paine's carbonized hydrogen; all that will
be necessary, will be to detach them from
the present apparatus and join them to the
new one. The experiment will be tiied
under the eye of the proprietors and other
gentlemen, and collusions or trick will be
impossible. Every means will be taken
to ensure a fair trial, all the parties being
as desirous of success as Mr. Paine or his
friends can be. If it succeeds, the thing
will be established. If it fails that will be
the end of the affair.
This experiment is to made, to satisfy
a number of highly respectable and res
ponsible parties, who purpose to buy the
patent right in case of success. The con
ditions are that Mr. Paine shall bring a
machine of his construction to New York
and produce at a nominal expense, say
five cents per thousand cubic feet, gas
enough to light the Astor House for
six successive nights. Before lie com
mences, the parties in question are to de
posit one hundred thousand dollars with
some person, acceptable to the proprietor
John C. Pedrick, Esq., of Boston, who
aided Mr. Paine in carrying on his exper
iments for the past two years to be paid
over to Mr. P. as soon as the trial is de
clared successful. This is by way of bo
nus or guarantee, in case there should be
a failure to pay over to him the sum of
one million, which is to render those par
ties part proprietors of the invention.
The value of the patent for the United
States, (the city of Worcester excepted,
which is reserved for Mrs. Paine,) is fixed
at ten million dollars, and a joint stock
Company is to be formed to manage it.
In this Company, Mr. Pedrick is to hold
from one third to one half the stock; on
the remaining part which he sells, the
million handed over immediately o n
the success of the experiment is to be
considered an instalment, and the balance
is to be madc'up by sales of rights. Thus
the parties buying in will receive no divi
dends until Mr. Pedrick shall have been
fully paid.
Such is the arrangement agreed upon
between Mr. Pedrick and these gentlemen.
If the trial here should prove successful,
it will no doubt be carried into effect; if
not, the New York speculators will lose
nothing, and the invention will be heard of
no more at present. We devoutly hope
lor a successful result, though we shall
not be very keenly disappointed by a fail
ure. Fate of Dr. Wtbslcr-
A Boston letter of the 31st ultimo, pub
lished in the Philadelphia Bulletin, has the
following statements respecting the posi
tion aud prospects of Lr Webster, lately
convicted of the murder of Dr. Parkman:
I have been careful to elicit, the true
sense of the people ot Boston in reference
to Doctor Webster, and the opinion that
he will be executed, is very general. I'his
opinion is growing stronger, perhaps I
ought to say is ripening into a desire Jhat
he should be executed; first, because! of

and in Philadelphia, by the papers and
petitions, intended, as they believe, Ho
force Massachusetts to protect his life
against her own judgment, and in defi
ance of her own piivate rights in the case;
secondly, because for years past the senti
ment had prevailed that capital punish
ment ought never to be inflicted; and it is
now generally believed that this opinion
has emboldened the murderer, and for the
last few years there has been more deci
ded firmness in the decisions of juries and
in the executions. To all this may be ad
ded the fact the Governor has not the
power to pardon, without the concurrence
of his council; a,nd it is believed this could
not be obtained even if his exccllancy
wished to pardou or commute. But it h
believed th.it he does not.

DEMOCRATIC
COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Democratic citizens of Cambria county
will meet at the election house r in their teve.
ral townships, on Saturday the 22d day of
June next, lor me purpose of electing two
Delegates trom each election district, to meet
in County Couvention in the Court House in
the Borough of Ebensburg. on the following
Tuesday, whose duty it shall be to nominate a
Ticket to be supported by the Democracy in
the county at the ensuing fall election. It
will also be the duty of said Convention to
appoint Senatorial Conferees to meet the Con.
ferees of Huntingdon and Dlair counties and
Representative Conferees to meet the Confer
ecs of Bedford county.
The polls will be kept open in each election
district from two till six o'clock P. M. in or
der that every man may have an opportunity
of voting.
By the County Committee,
S. J. RENSHAW, Chairman.
rSTlt will afford us pleasure to publish
notices of all the marriages, deaths, &c,
that may occur in the county, if our
friends or those interested will be kind
enough, to send them to us. But we do
not look upon it as being part of our duty
to travel over the country in order to ob"
tain them.
N. D. Magellan, Esq.
It will be gratifying to the numerous
friends of this gentleman in Cambria coun
ty to learn that he has returned to the
place of his nativity aud again become one
of our fellow townsmen. As he is well
known in this county to be a gentleman
of very considerable legal attainments, we
predict that his success among his old
friends and associations will be commen
surate with the warm esteem and respect
that is entertained for him as a man and a
lawyer.

Allegheny Portage Railroad.
The manner in which the affairs of this
Road has been conducted during the last
few months reflects great credit upon
those who control it. So ably and effi
ciently has the Superintendent discharged
his duty since he took hold of the reins of
office, that even his enemies are beginning
to acknowledge that his appointment was
a good one. One thing especially entitles
him to the commendation of the public
which is the manner in which he has dis
charged the obligations of the State, ard
relieved the necessities of those in the
employ of the Commonwealth, and to a
great extent the people of Blair and Cam
bria counties, by the prompt disbursement
of a very large amount of money. From
the 2d day of February last to the 15th ol
June inst., he has received and disbursed
the following sums
For Motive Power, $76,583 88
For Repairs, 31,249 39
Aggregate, $107,833 27
Out of this amount $25,000 was paid
in Philadelphia, the balance in Blair
and Cambria counties.
We believe it is the intention of the
Superintendent to discharge all the obligi-
tions of the State so far as the Portage
Railroad is concerned, and to pay al
those employed on the Road up to the first
of this month, in the course of a few days. It
he can carry out the cash principle on tie
Road, it will be a saving of at least tweiiy
per cent, to the Commonwealth, and pre
vent those ruinous losses which so mary
of those employed by the State have been
compelled to sustain for want of the ne
cessary means of support.
P. S. Since the above was written we
have learned that the State Treasurer lus
refused to pay out any more funds uniil
such time as he is satisfied that he will
have sufficient to meet the August interest.
We regret this exceedingly, as we did
hope that we would hear no more cork-
plaints about the want of money on tke
Road, and we have no doubt the Super
intendent is also much disappointed, as no
man could have made greater exertions to
liquidate all the claims against the State
in the speediest manner possible. We
sincerely trust, however, that he will be
enabled to draw the necessary funas in a
short time.
Delegate Elections.
The democrats of Cambria count j will
not forget that Saturday next is the day
appointed for the election of Delegates to
a County Convention which is to assem
ble in this place on the following Tuesday
for the purpose of placing in nomination
a County Ticket. As the duties that will
devolve upon that body are of the utmost
importance to the party, not only in this
county, but throughout the State, the ne
cessity of electing good men as Delegates
must be manifest to all. We therefore
trust that no apathy will be displayed by
our democratic friends, but on the contra
ry, that they will turn out to the election,
and discharge faithfully that duty which
every democrat owes to his party; and
see that such men only as are worthy of
their confidence, and who will carry ou
the wishes of those they represent are
sent as Delegates to the County Conven
tion.
EPMr. S. S. Seely, editor of the JerseJ
Republican, has the following squib in
relation to the Allegheny Portage Rail
Road:
"A few customers on the Allegheny
Portage Railroad will be attended to short"
Iy. It is time, we think, to make a clean
sweep of the office holders on that Road,
for we do look upon them as a disgrace
to the State, and the sooner the change
the better."
We are happy in being able to congral
ulate our friend Seely upon the fact that
the work which he thinks so necessary
has already commenced in a small way,
by the removal of a certain Car Captain,
and we trust that he will announce it to
his readers, and assure them at the same
time that, a due regard to the best inte
rests of the people required the adoption
of this course, as the officer in question
was a "disgrace to the State.11 We do
not suppose for a moment that the ire of
Mr. Seely against the Road, has been
occasioned by this very removal, or that
any personal considerations has led him
to the adoption of the course he seems
disposed to pursue. We believe him to
be above any thing of that kind, but we
coufess that there is one thing connected
with this affair that strikes us as very sin
gular which is, that his great natural
sagacity did not enable him to discover
that the officers on the Road were a "dis
grace to the State" until after the removal
of this very Car Captain had actually
been made. This is somewhat beyond
our comprehension, and we hope he will
explain the matter to the satisfaction of
his friends, and enlighten them relative to
the modus operandi by which a revolution
in his mind has been so suddenly brought
about.
CF"riic Bedford Democrat announces
the name of John A. Blodget, of Bedford
as a candidate for Congress. We have
now four candidates in the field; John
Snodgrass and Alexander M'Kinney of
Westmoreland, J. M Donald of Cambria,
and John A. Blodget, of Bedford. On
to-morrow, Westmoreland will select one
of her own citizens for that post; we will
adopt the candidate selected by our own
county, and expect to elect him nolens
volens.
That's the way to say it. The best
way to carry through a measure which
has injustice stamped upon its face is to
present a bold front, and the above declar
ation would induce one to believe that our
Westmoreland friends have adopted this
course. This obviates the necessity of a
meeting of the Conferees to nominotc a
Candidate for Congress. Alexander M'
Kinney Esq. has been placed in nomina
tion bv Westmoreland, and it is therefore
useless for Bedford and Cambria-to say
anything about it as she is determined to
elect her own man nolens volens.
We sincerely trust that for the credit of
old Westmoreland and the democratic
party, the idea conveyed by the above
paragraph is not seriously entertained by
any respectable portion of her citizens,
but is merely the bravado of an editor
who has permitted his feelings to get the
better of his judgment. We cannot be
lieve that her hardy sons are disposed to
descend from that broad platform of truth
and justice upon which they have hereto
fore rested. For our part, if she gets ;he
nomination in accordance with tbe estab -
lished usages of the party, we will cordi
ally and cheerfully support that nomina
tion, although we believe that Cambria is
injustice entitled to the man. Although
they may have the power to run and elect
her own man in opposition to the wishes
of the balance of the District, we feel con
fident that a high sense of justice and
honor will prevent her from pursuing a
course so derogatory to the character she
has heretofore sustained. We shall have
more to say on this subject in a shor
time.
DREADFUL CALAMITY.
LAKE STEAMER BURNT!
Abont Two Hundred Lives Lost.
Buffalo, June 17.
The steamer "Griffith," Capt. Roby,
going up the Lake, took fire, about 5 o'
clock this morning, when about twenty
miles from Cleveland, and burned to the
water's edge.
The mate, who swam ashore, from the
burning boat, for help, has reached
Cleveland, and reports that only about 30
of those on board were saved, and these
swam ashore there being no other ves
sel near, to render assistance.
Capt. Roby, wife'and child, are among
the lost.
It is reported that there were from 2 to
300 persons on board, most of whom
were emigrants, on their way to the
west.
If this is a correct estimate, the num
ber lost may exceed 200.
It is impossible as yet to ascertain the
cause of this disaster, or to give any fur
ther particulars. It is the greatest ca
lamity that has occurred on the Lake
since the destruction of the "Erie."
Fire in Columbia.
Philadelphia, June 17.
A fire broke out in Columbia, Lancas
ter, at 5 this morning. Special train sent
to Lancaster for engines and men to put
it out. All that block from the Bridge
dawn to Green Tree Hotel was destroy
ed. Loss. 850,000. The "Spy" print
ing office was burnt. About thirty fami
lies threwn out.
Progress of Reform in Turkey.
A letter from Bey worth, dated April
16, gives the following gratifying account
of the progress of reform in Turkey:
"One of the most important events in
the history of this country has just taken
place, by the issue of a firman, which, by
its future consequences, will secure the
comfort and independence of its people,
and be hailed as a blessing by the country
at large. The firman entitles the present
occupants of land to become proprietors,
subject only to a tithe or tenth of taxes,
and not liable to any other but the ordina
ry and moderate tax called the Tirdi and
capitation tax. It was by a master stroke
of policy, similar to this now adopted,
that Baldwin the rirst proved the bene
factor of Palestine, and saved Jerusalem
from the ruin which at that time threat
ened its impoverished people. A firman
of a similar character, in its general ap
plication, is in progress of preparation.
Another important measure under contem
plation is the building of bridges, quays,
public institutions, &c, and the better
conduct of the application of convict labor;
the results are certain, and were the Turk
ish authorities not hampered and intimi
dated by officious officials, matters would
be far better, and Turkey and her people
would be more at ease more quiet and
peaceable, and she would long since have
improved her position as a nation. lteli-
gion is now fully tolerated throughout
Syria, and, happily, neither missionaries
nor people can complain of persecution.
Ruins of an Ancient California City.
Antiquarians will feel deeply interested
in the discovery of vast regions of ancient
ruins near San Diego, and within a days
march of the Pacific ocean, at the head of
the Gulf of California. Portions of tem
ples, dwellings, lofty stone pyramids,
(seven of these within a mile square) and
massive granite rings or circular walls,
round venerable trees, columns and blocks
of hieroglyphics all speak of some an
cient race of men, now forever gone, their
history acually unknown to and of the
existing families of mankind. In some
points these ruins resemble the recently
discovered cities of Palenque, &c. near
the Atlantic or Mexican Gulf coast; in
others, the ruins of ancient Egypt; in oth
ers again, the monuments of Phoenicia,
and yet in many features they differ from
that I have referred to. I observe that
the discoverers deem them to be ante-di-luvian,
while the present Indians have a
traaition of a great civilized nation, which
their ferocious forefathers utterly destroy
ed. The region of the ruins is called by
the Indians, "The Valley of Mystery."
Jfunter's Chronicle.
Position and Progress of the Enited States, India
and California.
Sinre the colonies of Great Britain be
came the free and independent States of
this vast republic, internal and commer
cial prosperity, and individual and nation
al happiness, have Deen rapiaiy augment
ing. The extent ot our resources apa ine
enterprising energy of our people, within
the last thirty years, have not only pro
duced immense practical results, but ihey
have been perceived by the nations of the
earth always slow to believe that they
were to have a powerful commercial rival
on these shores. Even ten years ago,
before the Mexican war had established
our courage and bravery as adequate to
meet the armies of the old world, the
leading journals of Europe, reflecting the
popular mind, systematically ridiculed our
pretensions to national greatness. Pro
found ignorance was the source of this
treatment. The English nation, in par
ticular, that had advanced to its own proud
position by patient and slow steps, could
not believe that, in three quarters of a
century, a puny republic could make such
rapid strides, as to be a competitor with
them in the race of commercial prosperity.
Within five years, however, and just at a
moment of vast interest and importance to
our future progress, the dignity, energy
and power of this country have been uni
versally perceived and unhesitatingly ad
mitted. A still more full realization of our pow
er and commercial vastness and national
energy will soon be experienced. The
discoveries of gold in Celifornia, and the
immense impulse given to every species
of trade by the richness and fruitfulness of
the dry and wet diggings, opening vast
wilds and tangled paths and inland lakes
and rivers, in various sections, and uniting
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, will not
only give a full third of added power to
our commerce and products, to establish
the complement of our greatness, but will i
extort from the whole world the ready
confession that we are second in nothing
truly valuable to any country on the
globe.
It was not till long after the commerce
of England had planted the seeds of trade
in the East, that Great Britain arose from
a second or third rate, to a first class, na
tion. For two hundred and fifty years,
great toil and perseverance, incessantly
exerted, at a great loss of life and treasure,
established her power in India, and con
tributed vastly, in connection with her
commercial treaties with the Ottoman em
pire, Greece and the African States, to
swell the measure of her prosperity upon
her own soil. India, however, was slowly
bent into profit. The emigration to it was
by no means voluntary, but was carried
on by an army, well paid, and heavily
pensioned, with all the disadvantages be
longing to a government military estab-
iishment. tiven now, tne country is noi
peaceably held, but is subject to devasta
ting battles, carried on by the natives
commanded by French officers. True,
India is the source of great wealth. 1 he
trade of Great Britain, with it, and with
the fertile islands and coasts of the East,
produces important results every year,
and some slow advances are made upon
the soil, to add to these. Yet, with all the
profit and prosperity deiived from India,
the enterprise of ih' British nation has
done little to increasethe facilities for the
enlargement of the commercial relations.
Railroads have been talked of, to obviate
the dangers of the Hoogly river, the navi
gation of which is difficult and dangerous,
but nothing has been done to carry for
ward this important project. Other im
portant suggestions have been made to
open and extend the internal intercourse;
but bullets and bayonets, thus far, have
chiefly triumphed. Had Mehemet Ali
received the proper assistance from Great
Britain, the ship canal between the Medi
terranean and the Red Sea would have
been very favorable to commercial inter
course; but the report of the t rench engi
neer, Linant, was not sufficiently respected
and that approach to India was relin
quished. What might have been the re
suit of more liberality, we can scarcely
imagine; but it is very evident that the
influence of India on Great Britain, in
stimulating trade and commerce, though
parallel to that of California upon the
United States, has not been, by any
means, so important as it would have
been under the energy of our people.
California is the India of the United
Stales. The voluntary population of that
region by a civil force, requiring no exten
sive military establishment like that of
India, must produce far more important
benefits to this nation, than the establish
ment of the British empire in India has
effected for Great Britain. Though there
are like effects from both tides of enter
prise, the remunerating flood from Califor
nia promises to far transcend in power,
richness and extent, that which has flowed
back from India to England. It is true
that our Western States may be depopu
lated to some extent by the emigration
towards the Pacific, but the hardy pio
neers of the West are the very men re
quired for such a region as California.
Inured to toil, and partially acclimated,
they are happily constituted to work out
the very best results. Their absence from
the Western States is no great loss. Their
place will soon be supplied by the indus
trious emigrants arriving, in thousands,
every week, upon our Atlantic board;
while the Western agriculturists will remit
back to their houses much of the treasure
of their toil, to enter largely into that dis
tribution of wealth that constitutes the
happiness and prosperity of society. All
the accounts from Caliiornia the opening
of paths across the isthmus, and through
the Southern passes of the mountains at
the north of it show that we have only
faintly realized, as yet, the inevitable and
important results, which are to establish
this nation as without r rival in commer
cial, and, consequently, in my other
greatness.
How far these commercial extensions
and enlargements will affect our moral
and political character, will be a problem.
This is not so easily solved. One thing,
however, seems certain that it will be
impossible to restrain those tendencies to
the largest limit of freedom, encouraged
by our institutions. New communities
will be likely to profit, in morals and pol
itics, by the experience of the past, and to
perfect those systems which have caused
internal commotions in some of the old
States. May heaven grant, whatever be
the results, that the general prosperity
will only lead to the happiness of the
people at large, and to the common glory
of our common country! Ar. Y. Herald.
More of the Coban Affair.
The United States mail Steamer Isabel,
Capt. Rollins, arrived at Charleston on
Tuesday morning, 11th inst. She left
Havana at 5 P..M. on the 8lh; Key West,
at 4 A. M., on the 9th, and reached her
wharf at 8 o'clock this morning, making
03 hours from port to port, including the
stoppages at Key West and Savannah.
She brings 141 passengers.
By the Isabel the Mercury has files of
papers and correspondence to the 8th inst.,
extracts from which will be found an
nexed.
The papers are mainly occupied with
details connected with the late invasion of
the Island. A large number of crosses
and other honorary distinctions have been
conferred on those who were prominent
invaders at Cardenas, while liberal con
tributions have been made for the sup
port of the families of the killed and
wounded on that ocasion.
The officers, crews, and passengers of
the American vessels still remain inclose
confinement. Efforts have been made
by torture to extort confessions from the
captains of the Georgiana ana busan
Loud, but in vain. Ihey declared re
peatedly that they regularly cleared from
New Orleans for Chagres, as was con
firmed by then papers, that they had no
kkowledge of the character or objects of
their passengers until the steamer Creole
came alongside, when a number of them
went on board of that vessel, and that
they were proceeding on their course to
Chagres when they were captured by the
Spanish steamers. The Captains were
then suspended in the air by cords at'
tached to their thumbs, but, despite the
torture, they persisted in their statements.
Among the prisoners was a young
lawyer from one of the Western States,
whose symptoms of trepidation gave ex
pectation that by working on his fears.
confessions might be obtained that would
tend to criminate his companions. A halt
er was accordingly placed round his neck,
and cannon balls attached to his feet, and
with the threat of immediate death hang
ing over him, under promise of pardon
for himself and some of his companions
whom he named, he made certain dis
closures upon which the authorities based
their further proceedings.
The American Cansul was peremp
torily refused all access to or communica
tion with the prisoners. To give a color,
however, to the proceedings of the Court,
the presence of the British Consul was
invited. A strong disposition was mani
fested to dispose of the two American
captains by a summary execution, but
against this course the British Consul
warmly remonstrated, and warned theia
that such a course would inevitably in
volve them in serious difficulties with the
American Government. In conseauence
of these remonstrances the decision of the
Court upon their case was postponed.
The Havana correspondent of the
Mercury, writing under date of tbe 6th
inst., thus severely alludes to Captain
Tatnall, of the Saranac, who is now at
Washington:
The steamer Saranac, Commander Tat
nall, left here on the 30th uh., with des
patches for the Government at Washig
ton informing it of the state of affairs, and
forsooth we hear of him at Key West on
the 2d inst., giving a baM, and reciproca
ting the attentions of the citizens there.
Meanwhile, his countrymen, immured
in a Spanish prison, denied all commuica
tion with their friends, shut out from the
light of Heaven, may await the appear
ance of the delivering angel, borne on the
wings of a Spanish bullet. And we.who
for a little while are allowed an inter
course with our fellow beings, are coolly
comforted by Judges Marvin and Doug
las, of the aforesaid Key West, with the
assurance that the Spanish Government
has not only perfect right to confiscate
our property captured on the great high
way of nations, but that it can, at its
sovereign pleasure, capture, imprison,
try condemn and execute, American
citizens who never thought of, ox intend
ed coming to the Island of Cuba; and even
that it would have been perfectly justi
fied in landing an armed force on Ameri
can soil, and capturing and executing oa
the spot the pirates of the Creole.
June 8. It may be interesting to your
readers to learn that we are daily looking
for another invasion. Yesterday the
schooner Fairy arrived here from New
Orleans, and brings a report that the
steamer Fanny was to leave that city on
first instant, with 700 men for Cuba. The
Government are on the qui vivef and
troops are held in readiness to move at
moment's warning. Last night the steam
er Pizarro left our port with 500 men on
board . Her destination is not known.
Gen. Falqueras, the late Governorof Ma
Unzas, has been suspended, and is to be
