Buiiul of the Sub-Treasur_y.’—The funeral
obscquies if the defunct Sub-Treasury Bill have
just been celebrated here with great pomp and
solemniiy. A procession formed out far from
the \Vhite House about 2 o'clock; by whom
the tried. condemned, and dead Expeziienl, en-
closed in a black coffin, with the inscription
“ Sub-Treasury” emblazoned on different parts,
was received with nll due ceremonial.

Bearing this cofiir. aloft, its inscription illumi-
nated by lamps on each side; and carrying
torches, banners with such significant motioes as
‘° Glory Enough!" " Solitary and Alone.”
“ Following in the Footsteps," &c. &c. and vari-
ous other paraphernalia, the procession moved
through the principal streets, to the sound of
funeral dirges, performed by a very good band.
The crowd was very great but there was not the
slightest approach to a dis:urbance ofaiiy kind.

They halted at the foot ofthe Capitol, where
the band struck up its most lugubrious melotly ;
and then the procession ttirned olfio the Canal.
mid halting again at the bridge, they proposed to
consign the " Sub-Treasury”to a watery grave.
An oration “ suitable to the occasion” was pro-
nounced. A thousand torches immediately af-
terwards waved in the air, and amidst the ac-
clamations of the miiltitnde, and the roar of
artillery, the "Expedient” was launched iiiio
the Canal! Fourteen guns were afterwards
fired in honor of those who gave the death blows:
and the whole party broke up, and retired peacea-
bly to their liomes.—-'-Baltimore Patriot.

Factory near South street bridge. The loom
used was constructed by Mr. F. Downing, of
Enfield, and a more perfect and beautiful piece
ofmachinery we have rarely seen. It is capa-
ble ofweaving fourteen pieces ofRibbou oftlit1'er-

them exquisitely. Some specimens which we
have in our possession, the product of this ma-l

as the manufacture of Sewing Silk, promises to
be a very lucrative business to the enterprising

morning, in the suburbs of the city. by his own

blows had been given was found and recognizer]
as having been sold by Mr. Drake, in Light
street, to \Villiam Stewart, the murdered i1'iau’s

.E.tpc71scs (ft/ic Floriala I’Var.—-The waste of
public money in an attempt to subdue the
Florida Indians was enough to have baukruptctl
a government with twice the revenue ofours.
The exact sum thrown away we suppose will
never be known, but its vastness has startled
every body, and left‘ the inquiry, “ How was it
possible 1” A recent report in:-itle by the com-
mittee on Claims ofilie House ot Representa-
tives shows how some ofitwent. The circum-
stances are these :

A regimentofiizouuted nienconsisiingof417,
were embarked at St. Louis for the Florida war.
They were transported by steamboais from that
city in October, 1837, to New Orleans, and
thence by vcsscls to Tampa Bay, where they
arrived the 26th of November, 1837. The cost of
transportation was 340.8841 4.3. On thepassage
ihov lost nearly all their horses and a portion of
iheflfew that arrived were unlit rm actvium TU

pay for these horses Congress has pz1sse(l.a bill
..,.p.opuauug .,oou,UUO. \Vlien the regiment

reached Tampa Bay, it was found to be too
large, and in four days thereafter 182 ofthc men
were discharged, and were paid, $19,259 16,
were allowed $20,818 00 for their horses lost,
and had previously received $17,942 09—tuak-
ing in all 858,010 25, expended without the
least possible benefit to the country. In addi-
tion to this sum, was the expense of retransport-
ing them to St. Louis, of which no account has
been received, and will probably be $20,000
more! Is not this enough to startle the honest
and frugal people ofihe country? As a private
enterprize these men C(JlJl(.l have been carried to
Tampa Bay and returned to St. Louis, and all
their l.|0iS8'5 paid for twice over, for $20,000, and
yet this ecoiioniicul, reforming administration
had actually expended on it $58,000 more!
Well has the administration been called “im-
becile." lt foolislily orders the enlistment of
men, sends them as fast as wind and steam can
carry thetn, and when the men reach their point
of destination, they are not wanted and cannot
be employed, do no service, are dismissed and
sent home! How often this has been repeated
can only be inferred from the millions on
millions which have been appropriated and ex-
pended for this war with a few hundred Indians.
A New Discovery in Sc1'cncc.—Extract of a
letter from a gentleman in Washington, D. C.,
to his friend in this village, dated June 14, 1838 :
“ A new and splendid discovery in science is
just announced, and is now being exhibited here
by the discoverer, for the enliglitcnmcnt of the
national Representatives. It is the law of the
variation of the magnetic needle—a magnetic
pole, by which, it is supposed to be ascertained
that it revolves about the axis pf the earth once
in 666 years; and by means of this, and instru-
ments and tables invented and prepared to cori-
forin, the latitude and longitude of any place
may be ascertained with the minutest accuracy,
by the dip of the needle only. It is connected
with the laws of magnetism, galvanism and
electricity, and it is supposed will explain sev
cralothcr natural phenomena, of whose laws
we have no knowledge. Dr. H. A. *‘iherwo_od,
a former acquaintance of mine, and now of New
York city, is the discoverer; and from the ob-
servations stated to have been made, as tests of
its accuracy, there seems to be no doubt of its
truth. I have not gone into the examination of
the matter, though I iiiteud to if _iny limited
knoivledge ofmathematics and the sciences will
enable me to master it."—-Jlfohaw/c Courz'cr.

At the bursting of a boiler a stout Yankee
plunged into the river and saved the life of the
captain. As soon as they reached the shore, the
captain was prolific of thanks to the preserver
of his life. “Save your tlianlts, ,my hearty,”
said the other, “ for lonly saved you from the
water in the hope thatl should one day see I
you bung for the wilful iuttrder of your passen-

Major Downing and the “ 'l‘w:) Pollies.”
After a long silence, we are happy to an-
nounce to our readers, our coni:iclions.- that a.
rich treat is in store for them. Our friend the
tut.-jor, though silent has not been idle. The
Fourth of July or “lndejrcndencc day.” is al-
ways a great day in New York, as it should be
any where, btit the trial of skill in hauling out
“the Two Pollies” on that day, will we doubt
not, add much to its interest. \Ve have been
assured by the Major that the hull of the Two
Po lies is “as sting as a nut ;” it could not be
otherwise and float after the trials she has gone
through—he tells us that all she requires is a
“proper i2'_r_,r." And as soon after ‘* The 4th”,
as practicable, we shall know more,

To the Edlors of the E.z'j2rcss—tlic same paper
my old friend Mr. Dwight had a spell ago:

On board the “ Two Pollies.”
Nigh the Dry Dock, June 28, 1838. E

I sent a sarcular a few days ago to Squire
Biddle and all the other leading Bank folks about !
the country, something after this fashion-—
“Gont.leme.’t——Tl1e time is I)"°"“T nish come
when son... .... us must. be stirring our stumps to
lend a hand in rigging out the Two follies, and
sticking things up about her for a voyage, as she
has been now long enough idle, and if some-
thing aint done about the matter we may as
well agree to break her up. Gittin her offshore
at Rockaway was ony part ofthe diliiculty, and
the next is to refit and rig out,” &c.
In reply to this sarcularl got a letter from
the “Squire” saying that as he had no hand in
gittcn the Two Pollies into difiiculty, he did’nt
see how in natur he should be called U! to git
her out—tho he would be very willing to lend a
hand, providing that folks would’nt charge him
with nicdling with things that did’nt belong to
him, &c. &c. -
Igot also a hull hat full of letters from the
Wall street folks—some proposin one plan of
“-/itlin out” and some another—the most on um
agreein tofu nish ballaslcnuj, as they had as
much and more of that than they knew what to
do with—in fact they offered me so much bal-
last tliat there would be no room left to stow
cargo——and the " Two Pollies” nor any other
Pollcgj ever made a good vyge yet loaded with
ballast.
So nrter tliinkin a spell, I concludctl that the
best course would be to fix a day for calling “ a
Com2cnlz'on,” and give them a. trial. And so I
sent another sarcular requesting that Squire
Biddle and all the other Bank folks would, on
Independence day, next coming, be in readiness
in their boats, in the East river, nig'h the Dry
Dun/c, where the “Two Pollies” is, and haul
her out in the st.ream—I seem to have a notion
that in this way I can tell pretty nigh how things
are to work, by the way they will manage their
oars. For if they haint got wit enut' to pull
together in‘ taking a vessel from the slip into the
stream, I don’t think they ought to be relied
on for managing matters in rougher weather.
I am happy to say that all hands have agreed
to make the trial, according to my request, and
so, on Independence day, look out and see how
nigh my next letter will describe the matter.
Squire Biddle says be’Jl,be here with his four-
and-twenty oar’d long boat and plenty of medi-
um (or rope, I suppose)-—tho he says he don’t
like to meddle in the matter till other folks have
tried t.heir.hand_. So the honor of taking the
Two Pollies out in the stream will first be tried
by the Wall street folks, and 1 have no doubt
they willfinis/L the business if they can agree to
pull together, and in that case the Squire may
take his twenty-four-oar’d long boat to 1’liildel-
pliy agin and his m.cd-.='u'm along with him, for
one thing I am determined on. and that is, that
the folks who succeed best in hauling the Two
Pollies into the stream, shall have the say in rig-
gin on her tip for the vyge, which I hope will be
along and prosperous one, and no more gettin
on shore or in the breakers.
So no more from your friend.

J1‘/il(:('l?‘7I_g‘ Narrrzl-i~i:e.—-Tlie following touch-~
irg statciiiciit i? from an account given by. Mr.
Merritt of Mobile, one of the survivors from the
wreck of the Pulaski, to the editors of the
American. ‘

The sinking of the hull and the parting‘ of the
promenade deck, as has been heretofore related,
threw those who were on it into the sea. and
among them Mr. Merritt, his wife and child.-—
Being an excellent swimmer, he was enabled to
sustain both, although the dilficulty of so doit g
was greatly increased by the close clinging of
the mother to the child.

\‘v'liil-2 thus engaged, it boy of‘ twelve or four-

ntcly upon the n'ois_v lir.:twlers.

-A... -

too was sustained, until Mr. M. proposed to him
to mount a fragment of the wreck floating near-
The boy accordingly mounted on it, and seem-
ed to heso well able to maintain himself that
Mr. M. asked him to take his child on the
fragment, which the lad readily 00009-ded l°-
Mr. M. was now able to bestow his whole
strength in sustaining his wife, when, "to .1118
horror, be felt ‘himself clitspcd from behind,
arotiiid the lower part of his body, by the Iron
grasp of a stout, athletic man, evidently strug-
gling for life. An instant was sufficicnt to sat-
isfy Mr. M. thattlio grasp of the limit W0Uld
drown them all, and telling his wife this would
be the cass without. he could extricate himself
he asked her to ral'y her strength for an effort
to rcaclta piece of the wreck close by, to which
she consented. Giving her a push to\vards_ it
with its much power as his peculiar, situation
would allow him to do, he saw her gain it. _ In
the meantime his own case called for immediate
relief, but be found himself‘, on mtikitig the el-
fort utterly nimble to gain a release from tlie
powerful hold which was fastened around lns
body with an iron firmness. There Was but
one hope left, and there was not a moment al-
lowed him to deliberate on it. Mr. M. had
been an expert swimmer and diver when {I b_°.l’~
and to sink under the waves with aman clinging
to him was the last—the only resort remaining.
They went down together, and the man relaxed
his hold before M’s breath became ‘exhausted.
On rising again towards the surface, he struck
against pieces of the wreck which were now
floating over him, and after some dificulty clear-
ed them so as to breathe again; but on look-
ing around he could discover neither lus wile
nor his child, nor the boy! \Vhat had occur-
red during the brief space that lie was beneaili
the waves. he knew not, but be neither heard
nor saw them any more.

The last arlirzle to borrow.—Thc Sheriff of
Campbell county, Ky. was recently obliged to
send over to Cincinnati for the loan of a ;‘__rallows
for a few minutes, to hang a man wiili at New-
port! Nol litivitig any particular use for it at
that time, the Cincinnati slir~rilI' kindly gave his
friend over the river the use ofit.

JVIr. Van Buren and his Allies.—’I‘lie Phila-
delphia Gazette gives it as the opinion ofone of
its friends, that Mr. Calhoun has been " urging
on the Sub-Treasury bill faster than Mr. Van
Buren reallydesired. with the view of (]isgus',ing
ilie Northern and Middle States with the pres-
ent administraiion.” “The South.” says the
Gazette, “it is known, has no attachment to Mr.
Van Buren-if then Mr. Calhoun should suc-
ceed, lie will stand once more prominent before
the people as acanditlaie for the Presidency."
In confirmation of those suspicions, the Gazette
quotes from an article in a recent number ofthe
Charleston Courier, which is evitleiitlydesigned
to feel the way for the future nomination of Mr.
Calhoun. I: thus appears that the chances of
Mr. Van Buren are reckoned as nothing, even
by his new friends, and that he can look to no
section ofthe courury even for a nominotion.——
