t~itRt3ONtEs FOR WELON1Itto THE -TEADI sIP SIRIUS. By the following, it will be perceived, the arrivnl of this noble craft is officially an niounced by the British Consul, to the Com mnn Council of this city, and that body, as we learn, will proceed nil board from the - Battery to-morrow at J P. M., with their guests, in a steam boat prepare.d for the oc casion. A tollntiot will be prepared on -board the steam ship by her commander nnd llessrs, Wardsworth & Smith, agents o1 the steam line of packets to Europe. No person will be admitted on board the steam boat after 10 A. M., to-morrow. After the visit, the steam ship will be towed up near the wharf, where all the citizens can have an opportunity of exam imng her. We hear the freedom of the city is to be conferred on Lieut. Roberts. 4k, Tihe officers of the Army and Navy, and many of our citizens, have been invited to accompany the Corperation on board. Why cannot a procession be formed of all the stean boots in port to sail round the noble stranger with bands of music and col ors flying. The event is one of the highest interest, and is a new and closer link he twcon ourselves and our father land. Her Britanic Mlajcsty's Consudate. New York, 23d April, 1839. Sir,-I have the honor to inform you, that the steam ship Sirius arrived last eve nmg, 1and is now at anchor in the North Iiver. Should it meet the convenience or the Corporation, I shall he at the City Ha-1ll on Tuesday, the 24th inst, at one o'clock, to attend that Honorable Body on board, in accordance with their resolution,as marking the importance of that event-on event cal culated to promote the commercial inter est, and draw closer the ties of friendly in tercourse between England and the United States. I have the honor to be, sir, Your humble servant, J. BUCHANAN. To Joseph Hoxie, Esq., Chairman Com mi ttee of the lonorable Corporation of the city of New York, &c. STILL LATER By the steam ship Great Wlestern. By last night's Rail-road line we receiv ed the New York Courier and Gazette of yesterday morning. They announce the arrival of the steam ship Great Western, in the short passage of 15 lays frot Bris tol, bringing London ad Liverpool papers to the 6th. 11ristol to the 7th, and Lloyd's Lists to the 6th inst. The "Great Western" registers1001 tons; her length 234 feet; her breadth front out to out of the paddlo boxes, 58 feet; her en gines are of 450 horses power. Shestarted from Bristol with 870 tons of coal. I'rmnth cN. V. Courier ad Ga:ette, April 24. STIL LATER PROM EUROIE. The great experiment of crossing the At lantic by steam has been fairly tested, and tmay be declared completely successful - We announced yesterday morning the arri val of tie Sirius in eighteen days from Cork, and we have nov the pleasure of re cording the arrival of the Great Western, tinder command of Lieut. Ilosken, of the Royal Navy. inJifteen days from Bristol. The excitement produced in our community by these novel events, was general and in tenbe. It was about three o'clock in the af ternoon when tie Great Western passed I he Battery, in a style that displayed her to great advantage, followed by the cheers of the multitude which had collected to witness and greet her a)proiach. Whlat may be, the ultimate fate of this experimient-whether or not the expenses oftequipmnent and fuel will admit of the em ploymenit or these vessels in the ordinary packet service-we eqnniot pretendl to form an opinion- But of- the entire feasibility of the passage of the Atlantic by steam-as * fir as regards safety, convenience, comfort, and dlespatc-even in the roughtest andl guest boisterous weather-we must now cease to doubt. The coronution of the Queen is to take place on the 25th of Junie next. A roy al proclamation hujs been issued to that eficet. EDGEFIE LD C. 11. TrtunsDaY, AYa 10. 1838s. We publish to-day several items in rela tion to the Charleston fire. It will be seen that this distressing calamiity haP excited an extensive atid deep-felt sympathy. Mfany of our neighiboring towns and villages have already given earnest of their sincere sor row, by making handsome pe'eunmary dona tions for the benefit of the sufferers, and among these we cannot omnitto mention Wilmington N. Car-olina, Augusta, and Columbia. The last Columbia papers in form its that that town has contributed the liberal sum of upwards of $9000. The very commendable zeal which this latter place has manifested for the resusci 'tation of our once fair city, now in ruins, wsill find, we tust, a most hearty response throughout the up-country. The burning of Charleston is a great public calamity. It is not all, that hundreds and thousands wvho but yesterday enjoyed the comforts of opulence, are now robbed by the devouring - element of every thuing; that widlows antd orphans, pinched by chill penury, now crowd the once busy and prosperous streets, to ask the charity of the passing stranger who may visit the scenieof desolation. This is sufficient, more than sufficient to impress --the hearts of the charitable and benevolent. It is not the call of a heartless city upon others to support their miserable and desti tute, lint the call of a community now al - most powerless in its resources, fromn no --fatbit of its own, and whose whole history is rich in'acts of beneficence. Charleston, to her honor ho it said, is pre-eminent in lier works of charity. No city, we believe, in the world of her size, takes better care of her poor aind necdy, and these are sutpported by the voluntary contributions of her citi -ens. But we have said that this is a public catamity. Will it not be so regarded by the citizens of the State from the sea-board to tl mountainti! From the day when the gallant Moultrie repulsed the invaders of our soil, and earned for S. Carolina, in his de fence of Charlestou, one ofthe proudest lau rels in out revolutionary history, what true son of the State has not rejoiced in her grow ing greatnesa and importance! Whose hcart does not beat with gladness at the recollec tion of a Laurens, a Rutledge, a Gadsden, a Pinckney and others! How large a chap ter she fills in the history of our State! There are associations numerous and varied, which come to all with a power which --at not be resisted; which make ever& citizen claim Charleston as his own, his cherished city. Advancing in her career of prosperity with a rapidity hitherto unknown in her history, with the energies of her citizens concentrated upon the important enterprize ofa direct trade with Europe and the whole world, thus freeing the South from the com mercial thraldon under which she had so long labored, she is suddenly arrested by the calamitous visitation which we have recorded. In this point of view, the blow falls heavily upon every citizen of the State. To open a new channel of trade, nd to produce a great commercial diversion, is at all times a work of herculean labor and dif ficulty, requiring large capital and uncom mon energy and enterprize. This is iar ticularly the case in regard to the great scheme of which we now speak. Most of the Southern States are moving in the ttat ter, but it is a fact that upon Charleston, from her position, depends uore than upon any other point. In a work so essentially Southicro, we would not take the positon that if Accomplished, to Charleston alone must be accorded the glory. No-alone she could do nothin,; but without her co operation. the enterprize will fail. She is now in ashes. A large portion of that ca pital which would have been directed to this object is now lost, and the people-the State-must take the matter in hand. What can be done, is the question. It has been suggested that the State should loan its credit; that it borrow the required a mount, and loan to every person desirous to rebuild, one half the value of the lot, on a mortgage of the property and insurance, with interest; and to secure the State a gainst any chance of loss, the City corpo ration should bind itself to indema.ily. It is also suggested, is a further security, that the edifices should be of brick or stone, as then they would be placed beyond the reach of fire. For ourselves, we see no reasona ble oljection to this mode of relief. That it is a wrong principlefor individuals to look to Legislatures for a relief from their pecu niary distresses is true we admit, but we see nothing dangerous and nothing wrong in extending it in the present instance. It is, we say againa, a pablic calamity, and in all simailar cases it is thte part of wisdomt and policy in Legislatures to do it. T1he State would be a gaianer by it, and does it becomae it to sacrifice its dearest inaterent and that of hter whtole citizens, utpon a maere abstractiona? There is nao possible dager of loss, and a restoring the broken fortunies or her chief city, she contributes to the solid prosperity .if her etire people. Assured as woihave been that this is the only plau whicha promai ses relief, we are sincerely anaxious if notne better can lie dlevised, :hat it succeed. We have given it in our p~aper that it may re ceive the sober reflectiotn of our readers, and we believe that it will commisend itself to all. Sinace writing thec above, we htave receiv ed, through the Mercury, the piroceedlings of a very large maeeting of the citizens of Chaarlestona said the Neck, conttaitning the repiort anti resolutions oif the comnmittee- of thirty, a ppiomted sat a pireviouis mecetinag, atnd an A ddress to the Governor of South Caro hn. We regret thant ne cantt give these proceeditngs to out- readlers in our present No-, but will do so ini our next. Our timie will onlhy allow us nowv to say, thtat thec re solutions aand address were drawn up by Gena. Hayne; that an exrtra session of the Legisla tuare is asked, and thtat an appeals will lie matde itt somne such mode ats na eahave alrea dy designated. The great importance 01 these matters dlemandtts fronm every Citizen thte gravest reflection; siatd if any there he amnong us, who are not awakened to a full appreciattion, we hazard niothaing int sayinag that the abale anud eloqueant apipeal of Gen H ayne will mnost clearly demonstrate, "thtat thte recent calamity has brotnght all'airs to a crisis, w hich according to the spirit itn which it nmay lbe met, will, eithaer for good or for evil, be decisive of the fate of Charleston for the next half century. and perhaps for all tinme to comte." Mr. Davenport is prosecuting with great indutstry his experetmetts wvitha (aleanie? Magnets. Ouarrenders will remenmber that to thtis genthematn belongs the hontor of the first sutccessful rapplicationa of a ntew motive principle,protmising far to transcend itt pow er all w'hich have hithterto been applied. A late No. of Sillinman's Jotirnal counstas an inaterestinag letter fron hitm, detailing some curiotus exp~erimrenlts witht Slagnets, and we take pleasure in transferring a pocr tion of it to our columnts. "I also construacted a macline with sim ply two magnets formed tof two isna rotind arona, of Ailleen incehes in letngth, of the stir rtip fortm. The distanen hetween the cen tres of thec poles is five Inchtesand tam mntg net revolves tour hund.red and fifty times per minute, with two square feet of zin. The stationary magnets being placed with the poles pointing upwards, and the poles of the revolving nuagnet pointing downwards the shaft to which the revolving magnet is attached passes through its centre, and rests on the centre of the stationaty mag net. Two ofthese machines (weighing in all fifty pounds) I have attached to satill drilling works, %% hich I find produce suff: eient power to do all my drilling of iron and steel, to the size of one-fourth of an inch diameter. I have adopted this forn on the third ma chine which I have recently put in operation The magnets are fbrmted or two and three fourti inch iron with the centres of their poles nine incihes apart and weighing 50 lbs. each; with this I produced three hun. dred revoltions per minute, and have suc cessfully attached it to turning hard wood of three inches diameter. I find the puwer increases in lull proportion to the increase of weight and without increasina inl pro puortio the size of the battery. The wire must he increased in size in proportion to the size of the iron used, and consequent ly the dilliculty attending long wires will always he 1aviOided. I find no dilliculty in using my machine twelee hours in succession, without changing hatteries or agit atit the solution. I am erecting conveniences to test the powers ofeach inagnet as they are increas ed In weight and size, and think I shall be able inl season for the April number of your Journal to give the exact increase or power itm proportion to Weig lit, of Imagnets weigh ita from 10 lis. to several tons. I heave also tnade sonte very satisfactory trials, while iaking my mtachines, respect ig the expense for the constiumption of zinc and acids, and I think I shall be soon able to give nearly t he precise cost of mtaking the largest unachiery. Gairaunisn is, I trust, destined to produce the greatest results in the most simple thrn and I hope not to be considered an enthusi ast, when I venture it) predict, that soon en gines ctpable of propelling the la'rgest ma ehinery will he prO:luced hv the sitmple aC tmn of tio gudennic uaiunets; and worked with much less expense than steam." It is well to add, that Messrs. Davenport and Cook are now entanged in constructing, for the Elect ro-Magnetic Association,a large tiachite, expected to be of two tons power, which will soon be completed. [CoICMMUNICATED.] TlE FIRST OlP MAY. The day came in beatifully. The hea vens were bright and cloudless, and gentle zephyrs wafted the perfume of flowers from varions gardens al the surroundingw forests. A genial warmth was difFused abroad, and excited such pleasurable feelings, that ttere existence was a luxury. All appeared to be animated by one kindly feeling. Ma trons were busily engaged in preparing de licious cates for the palate, while on all sides were tripping their lovely daughters, gath ering verdant boughs, and culling the sweet est flowers. These they carried to the place selected for the annual festival of young maidens. In the spacious garden of Mrs. 11. a throne, enwreathed with flowers and surrounded by green branches, was erected. Graceful trees spiread their shade over the spot, and roses & jionquils bloomed around. At t little distance was an elevated stand for the tmsicians. '1Two lovely young ladies p)resided over the piano and guitar, while the harp was touched by the fingers of an accomaplishied mtatront. Somte young gen tlemen ptlayed out the flute and violin, wvhich greatly added to the harmonty of the occa sioni. As the (lay dleclined, the sky was ove'rcast, and the freshening 'orcezes which agitated thte branches of the trees, gave in dications of an imtpending storm. 13Ut soon after the stan had shed his lust bright beam, the air wits still. Twilight sucetded with a softened gloom, and the stars shone out w ith unwonted brilliance. Chandeliers and festoonod lamps suspiendedl in various parts of the garden, diffused a tempered splen dour fatr around. The fleratld ttow approaches, hearing a lofty May pole encircled with varie-colored flowers. She announces the ap~proacht of the Queen, and the tmusicians play atn etn livening tmarch. A trop of smtiling young virgints succeeds, dressed ini a style most suitabtle antd tasteful. Auid nlow conmes Flo ra, ther Qtueen of the Flowers, with her at tenaltnts. Shte tuakes a short address, atnd thietn the Qtueetn of May, accompanied by her beautiful Prime Minister and Maids of linnor, ascends te thtrone. Music's soft notes now fill the air. There is a pa~use. The Primie Minister addresses the Qnmeent, and places otn her brow a crown of flowers. The Queen reslumnds ia a grace fuil mnantner,and thetn fills her verdantt thtrne. All countteniances are now lighted upl with joy. A t a suitable hour, the Royal Majesty repairs to a magnificent entertainmient. A large companuy of guests partakes of the ptletnteous cheer. The subjoined are the naames of the Queen anui her court: M iss AN N Joit Nson, Qtueen. Mi'sselary Collier, Prime Mintister.

Mass ELIza BAcoN, IJERALD. Matrons grav va nd mnaien g,. I'm herald of the Queen of May. Minstrels strikq the gladsomo strain, Greet your sovereign once again! Let your tuneful voices sound, In loud note, her name around. Lo! enchanting May is here! Loveliest month in all tho year. Sweetest flowers her brow adorn, Anti she blushes like the morn! As she smiles, the earth is gay; Frowning, Winter flees away! MIss PATIENCE GRIFFIN, FLORA. I am Flora, the gay little Queen of the Flowers, Thou art welcome, my Princess to these lovely bowers! MIss MARY COLLIER, PRIME MItNISTER. Bright, glorious Summer o'er the earth Ditlused her warmth, and frolic mirth Attendant ever on her train, Far banished care, and want and pain. A smiling face all Nature w'ore, The flow're their sweets exhaled once more. The plumaged inmates of the wood, Sung as they sought their simple food. The lower tribes partook the joy, Which seemed to L without alloy. But this was not-%% ith raging thirst, And burning heat, the earth was cursed. Summer departed-Autumn came Her sister, and sel looked the same. The husbandman now saw his toil Rewarded by thie yielding soil. Delicious fruits the season crowned, And plenty was diffused around. All blissful seemed-=but soon came woe; Disease laid many a lov.d one low. And now 'tis Winter's gloomy reign, Earth's locked up by her icy chain. No more the cooling Zephyr's blow, The purling brooks no longer flow. Hushed are the warbler's tuneful throats, On air no more the music floats. 'Tis gloom prolouud-all Nature's dead; Hope seems from earth forever fled! But hark! what sound salutes my car! 'Tis thepirst warbler of the year. He sings a bold exultant strain, lie tells tnat Spring is come again, lie tells of thee, Oh youthful Queen! Among the fair the fairest seen. To thee due homage we will pay, And joyous crown thee Queen of May! Miss 4NN JOlNsox, QUEEN. My heart o'erflows, I cannot say What bliss has crown'd me on this day! Welcome my subjects to my sight! To see you is the Queen's delight! I thank you for the love you've shown; May I prove worthy of my throne! Preeminence I would not claim O'er my lov'd sisters, they're the same, In rank with me; each fills her throne, And reigns a mighty Queen alone. One Lord has made us; in her sphere, Each scatters blessings o'er the year. In other lands beyond the wave, O'er nations mighty, learned and brave, Fair youthful Queens the sceptre swvay, And all the williug homage pay. In a bright clime, where flow'rs e'er bloom, A land where ne'er stern Winter's gloom Is felt, a youthful Princess reigns; There spriug smiles o'er her hills, her plains. In the cold regions of the North, I see a Queen step prouadly forth; Youth, beauty ou her steps await, And love and joy appear her fate. In the broad space of Britain's isle, O'er ev'ry brow there breaks a smile; All tongues her youth, her worth proclaim, All shout Victoria's honored name. But in the land wvhere freedom dwells,' A joy as true each bosom swells! This is the spot where mirth is found, WVhere spring her treasure~s scatters round. hiere I'm supreme; this is the day, On which I rule the Queen ofMy Comnmercial.

IIE Proprietor of this Establishtment gives notie, that he is repairing and fitting it u) at considerable expense, and in a superior style,and will have it ready forthe reception of company by the 20th of May. It is situated on the great Eastern and Vest ern Lino of Stages, from Salisbury via. Lincolnton to Ashoville, &c. (a stage pass mng there every day in the week but one). The country around is broken and prover bially healthy, and besides the mineral properties of the wuter. there are many in ducements to turn the attention of invalids and others towards this place. Its prox imity to the lower country-the cheapness of iving-the excellence of the neighboring society-the abundance of game, an. the rich field aff'orded to science, especially to mineralogy and botany, are facts not to be overlooked by the'travelling world. But it is in the mineral qualities of the Springs that the great attraction to this spot consists. The proprietor has no exaggerated lists of cures to present to the public, for he has just taken possession, nor would he deem it a compliment either to the good taste or sagacity of the public, to present such if he had them. But he has the assurance of some of the most scientific physicians and chom ists, to the raro and valuale properties of these Springs. In 1824, Professor Olm sted, (now of Yale College) made a strict analysis of this water, anId pronounces its foreign ingredient s to be : Suiphuretted H y~ drogent, Sulphate opLime, bulphate of' Alag nesia, Aluriate of Lime. For a more extended statement see his Geological Report of~ North Carolina, au throrized by Act of Assembly, pages 129 30. Space wvill not permuit irs to add the v'ery flattering remarks of this gentleman. but any one at all acquainted with thre sub. ject cannot help perceiving the peculiar a dlaptationl of these minerals to the disorders that prevail at the South. The Proprietor enni only superadd his de termination to meet patronage by an unllinrch ing attention to the w ants, wishes and com forts of his visiters. The Springs are~ now,and wvill be through out the year, open for the accominodation of travellers. JOS. W. [TA M PTrON, Proprietor. Catawvb Springs, March , 1838. e 11 Atteration Bridge Builder.
