away the property qualification ofelectors

“ Jllr. Coleman's Pntem’.—The' exhibition
at the exchange, by Mr. Coleman, of his
invention, by means of which an engine
can ascend and descend an inclined plane
at nearly the same speed that it can propel
itselfand train, along a level road, was
entirely satisfactory to the large number
of gentlemen who witnessed his experi-
ments. A miniature locomotive, in which
t'l’ie' steam‘ was raised’ by burning spirits of
wine; hauled’ two cars, on whicli' a‘ ina'n',.
weighing nearly two-‘ hundred pounds, was
mounted, up an inclined plane with an as--
cent of one foot six, with the greatest:
ease:‘and‘rapi‘dit'y. The locomotive and’
its loadicould" also remain stationary on‘
the-plhne"or descend, at the pleasure of
the exhibitor. The attachment is elevated
above‘ the driving wheels, anal does not in‘-
terfere-with the running of the engine‘ on
the level portion ofthe road. The‘ appli-
cation of the invention to our St'ate road
would entirely dispense \vith'theexpensive
stationary engines now required for the‘
ascent and descent of the inclined planes.

Potts, is approaching its completion. It
will surpass almost‘ every Church in the
city in- the‘rieliness and" impressiveness of

peculiarity about it. and that is, the win-

The Hartford Times is opposed to ap-
pointing an Assistant School Commission-
and thinks Mr. Beers had better be remov-
ed at once. The advice of the Times must
be very valuable. The editor says “the
present Sclzool Commissioner has dischar-
ged his duties well and honestly.’ Per-
haps he has; but similar commendation
was bestowed from the same source upon
the late Prison Warden, who, it has ap-
peared since his discliarge, was wholly un-
fit for the station. There are now few
that will ‘do him reverence.’ . The more
his artificial reputation is probed,the more
ofa humbuglie appears. Alas poorYorrick.
Great Tr'i'umplz.—'l"he New York Jour-

surgical operation performed by Dr. Mott
upon a Mr. Baker of that city, in the i;e-

tion was extremely complicated, and re-
quired a great deal of cutting, sawing, ty-
ing of arteries, etc. It is painful even to
read a detailed account of the operation,
yet the sufferer bore it with the most per-
fect composure, and with little or no vari-
ation in pulse.

NEWS FROM MEXICO CONFIRMED.
\Ve published yesterday morning exclusively
the news of tliearriv I of the Relampagos at
New Orleans with advices from Mexico to the
8th inst. (ilie Picayune received yesterday morn-
ing says to the10ih.) We take the following
extracts from the Pi-rayuue of May 21 :
The Mexican schr. Relampagos, Capt.
Talduondo, arrived here yesterday from
Vera Cruz, which place she left on the 10th
inst. She is said to have been chartered
by the Mexican Government for the pur-
pose of bringing despatches to her Consul
at this city. A Mr. Frederic’: Johnson
came passenger in the Relampagos, and is
thought to be the bearer of despatches
from the British Minister in Mexico either
to the U. S. Government or the English
Minister at \Vashington. -
Owing to these facts, and.a certain mys-
tery in the movements of this vessel, her
bringing over but a single package of
papers and no lettersfor t/ie Port Ofiice, a
rumor obtained general currency in this
city, shortly after her arrival, that Mexico
had actually declared war against the Uni-
ted States. _
It is understood that the authority as' ed
the Secretary of State.
It would seem that the Mexican Gov-.
ommenit, notwithstanding the above letter,’
is desirous to prepare for war, and has
asked Congress for a loan of $3,000,000. l
On the lfith ofApril Congress passed a5
resolution allowing Santa Ana and Canali-i
zo to expatriate themselves, within eight‘
days, for ten years. If they refuse, thel
prosecutions against thvm are to be urgedl
forward.
The earthquakes in the city of Mexico
had ceased. From the Departments ac-;
counts continue to arrive ofthe devasla-l
Lion caused by those of the 7th and 10th
ultimo.
_ The Anti-renters of Columbia county
have at last capped the climax of rebelion
by firing upon the Sheriff and his party,
who were unarmed. Nothing but distance -
saved him and a constable from being
killed. As it was, they were somewhat
injured. We trust the perpetrators oflhis
outrage will be ferreted out, and severely
punished.
T-rz'nz'(y C/iurc/2..—VVe derive the follow-
iug particulars from the l\'lirror:-——The
spire is at present 2-‘l-6 feet high, but it is
proposed to raise it to an altitude. of ‘.280
feet. It will probably be completeduring
the month of August. The work on the
inside is advanced cousiderably—the plas-
tering is nearly finished, and the scaffold-
ing partly down. The pews and other
\V0O(l\V0l‘l{_fll'e in hand and the majority of/
the windows are completed and put up—‘—
the glass for the‘ reniainder is being pre-
pared ; and there is every probability that
by Christmas next'the ed lice will l5e‘0pen--
ed for divine service. The dimensionsof
the church are as follows‘;-—Length outto
out, 192 feet; breadth do, 85 6; length
inside exclusive of the tower and chancel,
105; depth ofchancel, 33 6; breadth of
nave, 36 ; height do. 97 6"; square" oftow-
er, including buti-esses,4-E); height oftower
and spire, 280. Wlien completed, we
shall be enabled‘ to boast of the most beau-
tiful edifice ever crected in this country.
It will serve as a model of architecture.
and give immortality to- the designer, and
to Mr. Upjohn‘, under whose superinten-
dence the'desig.n has beencarried out and
perfected.
Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania has
received in a single case,a law-fee" of
$5000.
of Congress by the Mexican Executive, to
treat with Texas in the spirit of Senor
Cuevas’s conimunication, which we pub-
lisliod yesterday in full, has been granted,
and there appears to be no doubt that the
recognition ol the independence of Texas
is a settled matter, upon condition that
she declines to be annexed to the United
States.
Reports state that Santa Ana has been,
or is to be liberaled.
Rumors of revolutions in various por-
tions of the Mexican Empire are rife. One
of these implicate California in an insur-
rectionary movement. ,
VVe have been permitted to publish an
extract from a letter written at Vera Cruz,
on the 8th day of May, which, were it
not for the respectable source from which
it comes, one would pay little heed to it
indeed. The letter is from an individual
whose word might challenge the belief of
every man in the country, not to say of
tlie Government itself:
“Elliott and the Texan Commissioners
are about leaving this (Vera Cruz) in an
English frigate for Galveston‘, with the
treaty acknowleding tli‘e'indep-cndence‘ of
Texas; but they litt"l'edrcani of their re-
ception at Galveston. Those people (the
Mexicans) think that the a'c'k_nowledge-
ineiit ol Fexan independence‘ will prc‘i"e’i'it
Annexation, and thereby t"ney_ will‘ get
clear of declaring war, as they had tlireat-
ened. They swear, however, that ifTexas
pg‘efers.}.ltti(i!ne{tation to ” acknowledgement,
t ey wi ec are war.
What will astonish the American peo-
ple in this extract, is the intelligence that
Elliot is"in Vera Cruz, and that the Presi-
dent of Texas has secretly sent Commiss-
ioners to.-Mex-i’co under the patronage of
England, to treat for recognition upon the
bases alluded to in Senor Cuevas’s letter
to Congress.
One of the British vessels, (the Eury-
dice,) composing the armed express kept
up between Galveston and Vera‘Cruz was
at Sacrificois—an anchorage adjacent to
gem C_ruz—readydt'ortranslate’G lkllinisters,

Besides the A'merjca'n squadron and the
Eurydice, the two French vessels hereto-
fore mentionedlasr being at Vera Cruz
we're‘yet in the harbor or in the ofling.
Both of the warsteamers, three brigs of
war, and several_smaller vessels belonging
to Mexico were in port.——JV'. Y. Tribune.

Several of Loco Foco papers complain
that we should judge‘ of President Polk by
his Cabinet appointmcTi‘ts.- Tlie'y_s'ay that
he is not responsible forBuchan:in’s speech
against Democracy, one 4th of July in
Lancaster; for Wallaei-’s notorious Repu-
diation principles in Mississippi ; for Ban-
croft’s old Fe-dcralisin and Doi'i'ism,nor for
other faults of his advisers, including the
old Federalism of Thomas Ritchie, the
appointed organ ofthe party. VVell ; what
will they say to the following, which we
copy froui an address, by Jruxcs K. Pol/r,
to the people of Tennessee in 1311. Here
it is:
"The first official act of Gen. Harrison, upon
his induction into office, proves conclusively, his
c iiitiiiued amicliinrnt to Federal men and Ft-dc
ral principles. The political cliaracier, known
opinions and past public conduct of the Cnhiiiei
whom he has selected, and who are to be his
confidential Executive advisers and counccllcirs,
point uiierriiigly and certainly to what the char-
acter of his adniinistraiiou must be.”

VVe saw a boy-riding a velocipede yes
terday in the Park, followed by a mob of
unfortunate urchins who shad no veloci-
pedes to ride, and who looked on with inor-
tal envy, as if they would like to have torn
their luckless companion in pieces. And
yet, like all who occupy distinguished po-
sitions, he had decidedly the worst of it.
It was the hardest kind of work to turn

The. College at lllaynooth, says the Pa.
Gazette, was established by the Irish Par-
liamentin 1795, with a view of educating
Roman Catholic Priests in Ireland, instead
of having them resort to the continent. It
was allowed £9,000 per aniinin, which Sir
Robert Peel proposed to make £26,000
er annuin. The new grant will enable
the College to send out about five hundred
Priests annually, making Ireland one of
the greatest Catholic Missionary countries
in the world.

The Hartford correspondent of the New Haven
Courier, gives the following account of the Loco
Foco caucus held in that city last week.-
}IAR,'rroiu’>", May 24,
The Loco Focos in this vicinity are in
manifest trihulation.- Their ‘State Caucus’
as _it is called was in session last evening
and the evening before, at Gilmans’ Sa.
loon, to devise ways and means to solder
up the cracks in their party, which seems
everyday to he grow'ng wider. At the
first meeting Silas Mix of your city tlrew a
bomb shell among’ the astonished bunkers,
by offering a resolution to the effect that
the majority slionld be heard in appoint-‘
ment..- to office, and that when any one is
appointed to office, contrary to their
wishes he should resign instanter. This
was debated, pro and con, and the old
bunkers, finding it was likely to pass got
frightened and begged for a little more
time. Ciics of “harmony, c<sncession—
don’i pass it niiw——let’s us thin‘; of it,”
arose fdrom ting] delinquents, and finally
they a 'ournc till last eveninu,
this nieilatiiig Silas went home, iind Bieeftdld
liunkcrs, rejoicing in his abscence, mus.
tered their forces and hoped all would so
well. But another New Haven man todic
up the curlgcls and waged battle for the‘
nine hundred against the regency. James
N. Palmer, Esq, who at themceting before’
had offered what. was called the cioiicilia-'
tion resolutions, viz: that a committee
Sl‘.Olil'.l be appr.-i. ted to confer with the
Deniocrafs of New Haven on their gricv-‘
_:in<-es, now came down on Niles & Co~,-
nllll a vengance. He said that the wish-‘
es of a large msjority of the Democrats of
New I-lavcn had been set at naught, that
the voice or intrigue ofone man at Wash-
ington had had more weight in the ap-
poiniment of Collector at New Haven,
Ihr'i'n the united support of nine hundred
deinocmtic voters. Mr. Niles interrupted
the speaker, and after some remarks de.
sired to know who that man was. Mr. Pal-
mer turned toward him very deliberately,
extending his finger, said the gentleman
desires to know who it was that I alluded
to, can only say unto him as Nathan‘
said unto David, t'lioii art the man: As
Bennett would say, this was followed with
immense applause. Mr. Niles immediate-
ly rose and denied the charge. He sad he
knew tlicrc were two candidates; one"
with a long list of names, the other with-
out any ; that he lziiew one was competent
the other was not. Mr. Wilcox he knew
well, and luncw that he was every way
qiiailified, and tl erefcre l.e supported him.
Mr. l’almer then said, he would go home
and tell the Democrats of New Haven,
that they didn’t I. now who was fit for
office, or who to recommend ; that there
was one man who could take care of their
interest, and who l-new better than they
did, &c., and he would tell the nine hun-
dred democrats who signed Mr. Merwin’rr
petition, that John M. —Niles said so.- He‘
then took a list from his poc‘ et, as it ap-
peared of Select Old Hunkers. One man
had held oflicc in New Haven 33 years;
another 28 years; another 36 years , over
a quarter of a century apiece, said Mr. P.,
and how much longer they’ll hold on, God
only knows,l doii’t. ‘I he Young Democ-
racy of New Haven, would feel bad ifthey
knew what Niles, 'l'oucey, Hamersly, and
Huntington think of them.——Traitors, Dis-
q)'_*,nniz‘ci's, Feclcralisis, were’ the sweete"s‘E
i ames lzrestowed on them. The conclusion
bf the whole matter was, that they come
to no conclusion, and the breach was wide
as ever. So they adjourned in much ad-
mired confusion, without acting at all, ex-
cept mucli talking on the rerolutions, I
mean those relative to their intestine
troubles. They stopped fighting just long
enough to pass a dozen or so slang wh:mg-
ling resolves blowing up the Whigs‘ for’
everything in general, and the Middletowri
election in particular, which you will prob-
ably see announced this afternoon in the
times as z1n.r1./zimous/y adopted at a meet-
ing of the Democrats of the State of Con"-_
necticut. But my paper warns me that I‘
must bring this long letter to a close.
