riie last advices from Mexico, inform that the short 

 I'd Ex-Emperor Iturbidc I, had renounced his Impe- 

 rial Diadem, and submitted to all the terms dictated 

 . liiiu by the Congress. 



To Ship Builders. — The National Intelligencer of 

 le lOtli April, contains an advertisement from the 

 'rtasury Department of the U. States, setting forth 

 roposals for building three vessels, to be used as float- 

 ig lights. The first is to be three hundred tons, the 

 .coud and third one hundred tons each. 



Mr. C. W. Goldsborough, of Philadelphia, has issued 

 roposals for publishing the United Slates A'aval Chroni- 

 'c in one volume, annually. It is to embrace a gener- 

 I and biographical history of the navy, official reports, 



1 J a variety of matter suitable to such a work. 



The number of patients at the Asylum for the In- 

 me, at Bloomingdale, N. Y. on the Ist of .Tanuary 

 i-t. was 91 — 18 men and 43 women. It is stated that 

 irge proportion of those deprived of their reason, in 

 .1- iustitutiou, have "lost it iu consequence of the 

 rliilgence of spirituous liquors I" 



Russian Clergy. — Mrs. Henderson, in a letter pub- 

 Ii. d in the Missionary Herald, says that at the time 

 Ui-n a Bible Society was formed in Novogorod, (Rus- 

 i) there were many of the clergy who had never 

 ( u a bible, and on hearing of it, asked what kind of 

 (/out it was ? —^ 



Long Island PipptTU. — Mr. Henry Mitchell, of Flush- 

 ig, Queens county, N. Y. gathered last fall from one 

 ee, eight barrels of apples, six barrels of which were 

 nt to Liverpool by one of the line of packets as an 

 Iventure. The captain was requested to return him 

 le proceeds, in British sovereigns, thirty of which, 

 mounting to $133,33, were lately paid over to Mr. 

 litchell, exclusive of freight and commissions .' Such is 

 le celebrity of Long Island Pippins throughout the 

 ■orld, and so important is the cultivation of good fruit. 



A'. Y. Statesman. 



Cold Winter at J^'ew Orleans. — The past winter has 

 een very severe at New Orleans, for that climate, 

 'rem the 10th to the 16th of March the ponds in the 

 uburbs of that city, were sufficiently frozen to permit 

 kaiting. The Mercury was at 1-1 Farenheit. The 

 •range trees are all killed, including those of fifty 



ears standing. 



Canada. — Mr. Hume lately stated in the British 

 ■ise of commons that Canada cost England half a 

 iillion of pounds sterling annually, and tlrat the 

 trfngth of England would be increased by granting 

 iilependence to this and many other of her foreign 

 olonies. 



Horse System. — There is now in Virginia, a gentlc- 

 lan by the name of Smith, lately from New Orleans, 

 • ho can teach the wildest horse (having a knowledge 

 I the bridle) in less than an hour to follow him 

 hrough a large company without taking hold of the 

 ridle, up a pair of stairs three or four feet or more 

 i»h, into a dwelling house, and walk from one room 

 o another as invited, without any alarm. This gen- 

 leing system has a wonderful effect in breaking any 

 lorse to draw in harness. His price for imparting this 

 ystem or secret is $20. The system is so very simple 

 liat he can teach it to any person in one hour. 



Richmond Enquirer. 



A grass bonnet, in imitation of Leghorn, was sold at 

 Baltimore, a few days since, at .iO dollars. It was 

 made by some young lady, living on the Susquehannah. 



Long L^land Races. — Great preparations are making, 

 says the U. S. Gazette, for the races which will take 

 place in .May next at the Union Course. Eight horses 

 from the .South have already arrived, and are now in 

 training, upon Long Island — ten more are soon expected. 



An association has been formed in New .Terscy, to 

 check, by " precept and example," the immoderate 

 use of ardent spirits. It is a "growing and blasting 

 evil," and we wish such associations were more nu- 

 merous. 



Mclajicholy Occident. — Three men were killed on the 

 13th of March by the explosion of a cask of powder 

 containing 320 lbs. They were a part of the expedi- 

 tion designed for the Rocky Mountains. 



The new establishment at Key West has been nam- 

 ed ^lllen^s Tojni, in honor of the lamented Lieut. Com. 

 W illiam H. Allen. 



The effects of Intoxication. — A man named J. Schaef- 

 fer, was lately drowned in attempting to cross the Ca- 

 dorus, about 4 miles below York, Pa. He undertook 

 to cross a stream of water while in an intoxicated state, 

 but fell out of the canoe and was drowned. He was 

 soon taken up, while retaining some appearance of life, 

 but all attempts to resuscitate him were fruitless. 



Letter Lost. — A letter mailed in Charleston, S. C. on 

 the 5th of February, directed to G. & R. Waite, N. 

 York, and containing one thousand dollars in bills of 

 the United States' Branch Bank, has been lost, and 

 100 dollars reward offered for its recovery. 



A"(ic College in Kentucky. — At Augusta, Ken. a Col- 

 lege has recently been established, which, under divine 

 Providence, bids fair to rank among the first institutions 

 of the kind in the Western country, if not iu the United 

 States.
