opporunity of correct information, and Ihnt
whatever he says is entitled to the anost

.O is stated that the most friendly disposi

ontbreakin- of the Canada revolutio-n.
Antiher cause assigned for the delay, was
lie expecta tion that Mexico wowd have in

- The writer expresses every confidence of

further. that tha. Radcleal or O'Connel larty

Important Invention.-A New A.rle for
Rail Road cars lis been invented by a Ilr.
Childs. by which the friction of tho side or
flangs of the wheel and the strain oi the
axle at short turns, are almost entirely pre
vented.
We learn by the United Si nens Gazette,
that mhe iivention consists in a socket axle,
fastened tio the right hiand wheel and exten
ding to the nave of the other. The main
axle is fastened to tie left hand wheel, and
exends itrough the socket and the nave of
Ihe right hand wheel, but is fastened to tie
itier. This invention allows the wheel to
play on at eurve, %w ithout straining fie uxle;
anid even shoild the oxie he broken, the car
would not fall, as the socket would sustain
the axle. though eitirely parted.-N Y Star.
The Sirius.-The wharives are crowded
w ith anxious gazers for the Sirius steam
ship, hourly expected. We think the cal
entlaisons of' he-r speed are so'anewhat exag
gerated. Shte was to have sidled on the 2d
from Cork, and from all experience we
should say that under the most favorable
cirsenimsiances ite seam ship cannot make
clear nore thani eight nots per hour, which
im) a listaimce ofin fll three thousand twiles,
wold requiire 16 days to.cross the Atlantic,
and the expermient. at that time, would be
a very fine run, because it could always
e relied upon barring accidents of course.
