Not a few of these have lately become Christians, for the fanatic fury of their faith seems to be every day abating.

A French traveller now in Egypt has discovered, at a distance of about nine hours' journey from the Red Sea, an ancient city built in the mountains, between the 24th and 25th degree of latitude.

Proposals are published at Phi-respecting Jackson's campaign in the Floridas, has ladelphia for furnishing materials to erect a bank-been published entire in many English papers, to ing house in that city. the great satisfaction of most, if not all of the Americans in that country.

Lieut. James B. Taylor, of the United States navy, was drowned by the upsetting of a vessel in which he was passing from Amelia Island to St. Mary's. Montezuma bridge, between the village of that name and the town of Mentz, in the state of New York, over the Seneca river and marshes, extends about three miles! It is said to be the longest bridge in the world. This is the third bridge over the waters of the Cayuga lake and Seneca river, in the space of seven miles, and remarkably shews the progress of improvement in this part of our country.

Dayton bridge. A bridge has been built over the Miami, at Dayton, Ohio-which is described as a very fine structure. It consists of two arches of timber, each 100 feet long, resting upon two stone abutments and one stone pier in the middle of the river-the latter was sunk 12 feet below low water mark. The whole length of the bridge is 250 feet, and 26 feet wide-weather boarded and roofed.

Boundaries with Spain, It is stated by the Nashville Clarion, that "about two hundred families of as brave Americans as the United States can produce," are settled west of Red River on the land given up to Spain by the late treaty. We are sorry to hear this.

The Floridas. An opinion held by many that the Floridas alone, are capable of furnishing a supply of sugar and coffee equal to the whole consumption of the United States, is repeated in the Washington City Gazette, on the authority of a gentleman well acquainted with the soil and climate of the country. These may become articles of export in less than 20 years. Witness, what has been done in cotton.

Mr. Spencer, of N. Y. has been highly complimented by an address from a large meeting of his late constituents, for his faithful services in congress; and his zeal and industry deserve it.

Execution. The Alabama Republican of the 8th ult. says-On Friday the fifth instant, was executed near this place a negro man, who, a short time since attempted to kill his overseer by shooting at him.— By the laws of this territory, an attempt to commit any capital crime, subjects a slave to the punishment of death!!

The Carthage bridge, over the Gennessee river, N. Y. is of one entire arch, 713 feet long, 30 wide, and 196 feet above the surface of the water! Loaded teams of more than 13 tons, have passed over it. "The bridge contains 69,513 feet of timber, running measure, besides 64,620 feet of board measure, in addition to 20,806 feet of timber contained in the false bridge or supporter. All this has been effect-France. ed by the labor of somewhat less (upon an average) than twenty two workmen, within the short space of nine months."

From the N. Y. Daily Advertiser. A case touch-among the articles inspected in Baltimore during ing the validity of our state insolvent laws was this the quarter ending on the 31st ult. day tried before Mr Justice Herring in the marine court. It was an action brought on a judgment obtained previous to a discharge under the 9th section of the insolvent law of 1813. The counsel for the plantiffs, I understand, said that the statute was void, except so far as it discharged the person of the debtor. It appeared in evidence that the plantiff's had signed off for the defendant under the act, and that the defendant had obtained his discharge in the usual way. After hearing counsel on both sides, the court held the discharge good, and gave judgment for the defendant.

Mahometanism. It is stated, says a London paper, on the authority of letters from a missionary at Malta, that nine men, belonging to the different British vessels lying at Smyrna, had publicly denied Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world, and had embraced Mahometanism!!! This practice among the English sailors, the same letter adds, was becoming quite customary at Smyrna.

Mr. Breckenridge, late secretary to the commis sioners, is about to publish a new work entitled, “A voyage to South America." We have no doubt but this will be the most interesting publication that has ever appeared about this quarter of the world. Mr. B's collection of authentic books and papers is very extensive, and his knowledge of the Spanish language, in addition to his other good qualities for a work of this kind, will enable him to make the best use of them.

Massachusetts election. Mr. Brooks is re-elected governor by a diminished majority, and there will be a reduced federal majority in each branch of the legislature. The election in this great state, which used to excite so much interest throughout the United States, is now as of no political importance at all, except to the people of the state. Such is the fruit of the Hartfort convention.

The legislature of New-York has adjourned. The following notices of two very interesting acts passed is copied from the Albany Argus:

"The canal bill authorises the completion of the western section of the Erie canal, from Seneca to Buffalo, and the nothern canal from Fort Edward to the tide waters of the Hudson. $600,000, in addition to the loans and revenue hitherto authorised, are annually allowed to be borrowed for this purpose.The three acting commissioners are allowed an annual salary of $2,500. The commissioners are required to make an annual expose of all their doings and expenses.

The bill for the promotion of agriculture appropriates $10,000, for two years, to be divided among the different counties, according to their population, to be awarded in premiums in agriculture and domestic manufactures.

This society, it will be recollected, must be considered as the parent of all the associations which at present so happily abound, and Mr. Watson was as the father of it.

Vice president Tompkins. A long report has been made to the legislature of New York, (through the comptroller) by the commissioners appointed to settle with Mr. Tompkins, as late governor of that state. The Albany Argus very properly observes It is difficult to give an analysis to the report. The commissioners did not conceive that they had the power or time to make a settlement within the period allowed in the resolution by which they were appointed. The report reflects credit upon the gentlemen who made it. It bestows merited eulogium upon the late governor's services during the war, and, in our mind, exculpates the excellent and worthy officer who is the subject of it, from the suspicion and blame with which envy and ignorance have attempted to slur the brilliancy and usefulness of his official acts."

Died-On the 15th of March, WONDER, a negro m n, belonging to George Booker, of Prince Edward county. From an old register found in the family, it appears that he was born in April, 1693; and the cause of his being named Wonder, was that his mother was in her 58th year when he was born. He was strictly honest, had great strength of body, and a mind far superior to people of his color generally, which he retained in a surprising degree. He labored without compulsion, and it is not more than eight or ten years ago since he was a constant laborer in the garden of his master, without being required, he was a constant attendant on religious worship; and it is believed he exchanged a long life of servitude for one of everlasting bliss.
