_ lzig Principles.-—Huniphrey Marshall,
—_ T
of Kentucky, closed his late speech in the
United‘Stales House of Representatives, by
the admirable summary of Whig principles:
>i‘vTo add proper and fair facilities to com-
merce ; to improve the-condition of our own
country ;' to promote the developement of its
natural resources by a wise and beneficial
sy'st_em_of legislation ; _to ameliorate the con-
dition by increasing the arm of labor; to en-
courage art‘;.lo protect the inventions of ge-
nIlf_s:;= to -sustain the dignity of our own
country-at home, by securing to every man
his-. personal and political rights; to perform
gcrnpulously every national obligation, and
to’ ‘vin‘dic_at.e ‘promptly every right of our
own ‘country abroad; to stand upon our
own and not on foreign ground ; to cherish
aii'_d_pro_tscl the integrity of the Union,and
to frown upon the very. dawning of any
spirit-;.vvh,ich-would -lead to its destruction.

“my Seat» SiXl_}'ff0ur persons arranged ‘round‘
the Balloon, took charge of, the ropes, and
at a given signal from myselfloosed us from
lhe.earlh,,and we ssccndedfin a‘ magnificent
style, amid the cheers" of the vast and bril-
liant assembly.j With the rapidity of an
arrowwe. were-' ina ‘few minutes, to a
lieighth of 10,000 feet. We «yet heard the
huzzas which were ‘sent to us from our
friends below,and felt the vibrations initlie
ropes of our Balloon. We. now saw the
cities, villages, woods and rivers, as_~,au un-
surpassed landscape. In a beautiful frame of
green we saw the, public buildings and chur-
ches of the city of Bridgeport, whose domes
and towers, and spires, gilded by the sun,-
shoue like gold and pearls beneath-us. We
saw the city of New Haven. with its pleas-_‘
ant greens, and on the other side the villages
of Fairfield, Weslporl, Souiliport, Norwalk,
Stamford, New Rochelle, and a thousand
other scenes of tranquility and happiness so
highly favored by the creator of the world.
For beneath us, shining like molten silver,
lay Long Island Sound, dotted with vessels,-
which appeared like specks upon its bosom,
while Long Island appeared in the distance,
and far beyond the broad expanse of ocean.
We observed the direction of our. currents, it
was the fifth time we had changed tliem——
and we now found a constant current 15,000
feet from the earlh,from east to west, which
would take us over the Americari continent;
a current known already to extend over 13,-
000 miles‘. Below and about 4000 feet
fromthe earth, is a current in the opposite
direction,.vvbicii would take us to Europe in
less than four days, if it were the will of
the Supreme Being. At the height we now
were, (13,000 feet,) the Balloon appeared to
us like a vast ruby,framed by the azure. It
threw its large shadow on the clouds, and
gave us the image of an aerial Venice I
threw out more ballast, and we ascended
nearly as far. as it is possible for human be-
ings to exist: we, had reached the heightof
22,000 feet The earth appeared a, cl,ao5_.
therrxromelcr at 9 below zero. The cold
was intense; ii heavy hail storm, held in the
air by a power unknown to us, but-probably
an electric Pbwer, enveloped us in ii thrilling
and awful manner. Respiration was almost
impossible, and we could not hear each oth-
er speak. One of my companions, being
benunibed, fell into a profound" sleep. IVs
felt so weak that my other companion and
myself were hardly able to open the valve.
At last we succeeded in opening it, and we
descended rapidly to an‘ altitude of 13,000-
feet. The imagination of one exalted to
such extreme height, glows vivid and warm
as the body becomes dull and chilled. For
us no reality, no limits, were existing.-
'1'he dreams of Benardine St. Pierre were
realized: universal peace seemed to be on
earth, and‘ the whole globe were united
states. But a strong condensation of the
gas brought us back to the reality of terres-
tial objects, and we descended tothe ground.
I leave you free fields of universal space,
but when I touch the earth, it is but to take
new powers to conquer, and overcome you
entirely. -
We landed at Riverhead, L. l., fifiy miles
from Bridgeport, and ninety, from Brooklyn,
where wefound the kindest assistance from
lheinhabitants. E. PETIN.
3% The shooner Harbridgc,with a Pierce
and King flag flying at her mast-head, got
her nose knocked off the other night when
‘entering lhe Harbor, being run into by the
propellor Oswego. This is one of the
“signs of the times.” She is now lying at
the wharf loading with Evzglis/i. Railroarl
Iron.
This is an appropriate cargo for a vessel
flying a Pierce and King flag. Opposition

W’hig Gathering at LlIndy’s Lane.
The mass gathering of Whigs on the old
battlefield of Gen. Scorr, in the war of 1812,
near Niagara Falls, promises to be of the
1840 sort. Western New York and North-
ern Ohio will pour themselves out en, masse
on the occasion, and smaller delegations will
be present from all the Northern _scction of
the Union. Baltimore sends 200 Whigs,
New York City will have a large representa-
tion, and many will go from Massachusetts,
&c. Tuesday and Xifednesday next ace the
days for the meeting, and liberal arrange-
ments for speakers and for accommodations
have been made by the \Vhigs of that region.
The fare has been reduced by the Erie Rail-
road, from New York City to Buffalo, for
this occasion, to 88 both ways, or one lialfthe
usual rates. From Buffalo to Niagara the
fare has been reduced to 8f. ,
Obsequies of Mr. Clay in N. Y.
The ceremonies of a public procession in
honor of I'IE.\'RY CL.iv, took‘ place on Tues-
day aficrnoon last. The whole city seemed
to be given up to ' the occasion, and public
lI)Usll](!SS was very generally suspended.-—
The larger streets especially Broadway;
were hung in black, with appropriate mot-
fos and flags. _
The procession conirnenced forming about
three o’clock—llie bells tolling, and the
minute guns firing. It was the largest and
most imposing ever witnessed in the city.-—
The line of military extended over two
miles, and the various associations: and soci-
eties made its length on to four miles. The
funeral car, drawn by eight white horses,
‘was very splendid. It had 31 pail-bearers.
The oration commenced at about half
past seven, on the steps of the City Hall.-
lt was delivered, after appropriate religious
services, by N. Bowditch Blunt, who was an
old and staunch friend of Mr. Ciay. It was
an eloquent outline of his life, and sketch of
his character. The ceremonies closed short-
ly after sundown.
I
gg. VVe quote the following from the N.
Y, Observer. of July 22d :
Space/1. of Rev. Dr. Hall.——'I'he speech
which was made by the Rev. Dr. Hall,‘ of
Norwalk, before tlie,Gcneral Association of
Connecticut, on the Dr. Bushnell case, is
published at full length in the Puritan Re-
corder. Those who would find a masterly
expogirion of-the views of the‘ .Af‘ll.I-Busll-
nellisnfporlron of the clergy of that State,
will read this speech with profound interest
and instruction. It is rare that so able, com-
pact and lhggoughan argument is embodied
in such spac ., and its perusal will satisfy
every candid mind, that holding such senil-
ments as this speech presents, it is impossi-
ble for the Fairfield “West brethren, and
those thinking with them, to pause in the
course they have marked olit.
Havinga copy of the Puritan Recorder
containing Dr. Hall’s speech before us, we
are able to endorse the above well deserved
cpininendation of that effort." We observe,
by the .wa_v,~ that Dr. Bushnell’s church has
seceded from the General Association.

The steamer Alice, running between Bridge-

Thursday morning at her dock in Bridgeport.
and was burned to the water’s edge. She
was owned by Capt. White of Norwich, and
was worth about $15,000. She was partly
freiglited for her trip to New York, and many
valuable goods were lost. She burned so rap-
idly that uotliirig could be saved.

3.; Mr. Jacob Bell, a famous shipbuild-
er, of the city of New Yorlg died on
Wednesday last. His remains were brought
to Darien, for interment. He was thc"buiI-
der of the Collins’ steamer Pacific.
{a’;;s- It is remarkable‘ how the Locofoco
presses have changed their opinion of Gene-
ral Scott since his nomination. In 1848 he
was in their opinion much more of a man
than General Taylor; indeed, he was then
something of ii-statesman. Hear what the
Washington Union said about him at that
time 2. ‘
“ General Scott is an older soldier than
General 'l‘aylor—-one who is equally if not
more accomplished, and who has distingui-
"siied himself by more and as brilliant bat-
tles during the war—-who captured Vera.
Cruz, the Castle and the Capitol of Mexico
and one, too, who has more the quality of
civilian, and is better known as a Whig."

per, will be amply fulfilled.
Spirits Rappiz-g.— We learn by the Opal,

to this. I - " _
£13‘-' Henry Clay,inllie Senate of the U.
States, in 1850, spoke thus of Gen.,Scolt:
,‘*I must take this opportunity to say, that,
for skill, for science, for strategy, for bold and
daring fighting, for chivalry of individuals
and masses, that portion of the Mexican war
which was conducted by the gallant Scott as
chief commander. stands unrivalled either
by the deeds of Cortez himself, or by those
of any other commander of ancient or mod-
ern times.
.Appoin(mcnts.—Tbe following appoint-
ments have been made by Judge Taylor:—

ceived his medical education at Pillsfield,
Mass, and has resided several years in Li-

man, an African, can be as coiriforlably situ-
ated, politically and socially. "anywhere un-
der the broad canopy of heaven, asin Libe-

§1:§= The Tabernacle Congregational
church, in New York city, have given to
their pastor, Rev. J. P. Thompson, leave of
absence for one year, "engaging in supply

for Europe with the intention of visiting the
Holy Land and the East. Mr. T. will take
with him the cordial good wishes of a large
