From the Philadphia Enquirr. STA.--The chwn'es ;,ccouiplished throughout the civilized world, by the dis coverv .and application of stean to arts 'sciences and nattfactories, are so truly wonderful, ais to be almost beyond belief. In travel alone, this great agent has ef rected the most astonishimg results. This is fully apparent, even in connection with ourown city. & its various avenues ofcom muunicatiou north an-I south. For example, we a day or two since mentioned the arri val of a gentleman from Boston adistauce -or320 miles in 22 hours! He trtvelled the whole way either by steamboat or rail road, and in both instances was propelled by the agency of steam So with regard -to the south; any one may step into the Baltimore boat at 7 o'clock iii the morn ing and be in Norfolk Va. before 7 the iext morning. Indeed the trip has fi-e quently been aceomplished in 22 hours, 'while passengers have been able to tarry -an hour or so, at Baltimore. Could our forefitthers, of the olden time start up from their dust, ad contemplate these %vonderful changes in travel and its facilities, their surprise would he extraordi nary indeed. Less than a century ago, .the trip either between Philadelphia and Boston, or Philadelphia and Norfolk, could not have been accomplished by the ordinary conveyances, in munch less than s fortnight. But, if we turn our eyes so the west, and especially to the Mississippi river, the power of steam as an -agent will be realized in a still more won -drous manner. Now, hundreds of b-oats with thousands of passengers,are constant ly passing and repassing the turbid waters 'of the Father of Rivers. and touching at points in the course of a few days, tiat in *the olden time occupied weeks.nay no :ths -io reach in an upward voyage And so indeed, throughout the greater portion of the world. It is now said that Jerusalem may be reached by an American Traveller, via Bristol in the G-eat Western, Paris, M ar seilles, and Joppa. in thirtv three days! These are but few of the feats that may be accomplished, so far a travel is cou -cerned, and with cUm)at;ative care and safety. And yet the history of the past is calculated to make the impressiont that the progress of steam and its utility are -only in their infancy, and that a century bence will unfold still more extraordina ry' wonders. A late number ofthe Lou do,, Quarterly Review, contains an article upos the subject, in which many inter eting facts are grouped together. "Ar rangements ate in progress for.contituing the British trade across the Isthiru of Darien with steamers, which are to ply -on the great Pacific oceao,hetween Valpa raiso and Panama, a distance of about 2,500 miles. By this means, the voyage round Cape Horn toLima, which has hith erto occupied about four m..nths, will be reduced to about thirty lays!" In the 31editerrauean, steam vessels are used by Christians,Jews and Turks, while as-early as 102M1, a steamer made four succes-ful voyages between "Bombay and Suez. The Irish sea, German Ocean, and the British Channel, are traversed by steai ers, while in the American rivers and lakes there cannot be less than 1000 steamers in operatton. In reference to the last important enter prise, as connected with steam, we mean the establishment of packets between tihe old and new worlds-the greatest trip otn record was recently made hv the Great Western. The distance betveen Bristol and New York is 3150 geographic miles, the whole of which was accomplished in ]3 days and 7 hours. In limtle more 'han a fortnight, several British oflicers dined in the oltd worl.t,at their barracks, in Wool. wvich, bseyond Lotndon, and itn a pttblic hto .tel in Baltimore-having in that brie.f period, passed aeross the ocean, ands thro' New York atnd Philadelphia' Thes Great Western is 240 feet in length. Site has two eugines of 225 horse power each. Her cylinders are 73.3 inches in dliameter, 'nmd yet she is quite a smoall vessel whetn compared with several others cotnst tuctetd, or in process of constrttction. The British Queen, for example, is believed to lie the largest steatmer in the world. Iler length of keel is 233 feet. E xtreme length 275 feet. Breadth of beam 40 feet. 'Inclu ding guards 65 feet. Depth of hold 2^ feet. Tonnage 1,862 tons. Diameter of cylinders, 774 inches; length of stroke 7 feet. Diameter of wheels 30 feet. Esti mated weight of engines, boilers and wa ter 500 totns; do0, of coals for 20 days' con sutmptiotn 600 tons. Draught of wvater wvithi the above weight 16 feet. The Gorgon is the largest steam shtip in the British navy. Shte is 1150 tons, and carries 20 clays coal, and stores ror six months. 11er service has beeni of the ex peritmental kind, and the greatv't part of the past winter she has been cruising in the Bay of Biscay, and .o well satisfied are, the British Govern menit of her rcapa city to contenid with boisterotts weather, that they are now construceting sonme five or six others, one of whtich, the Cyclops wvill measure two thousand tons. The enpttes of the Gorgon, it shoutld he recol lected are only of the same calibre anid power as those of the Sirius of 700 tons, which preceeded the Great Wes tern on her first trip to New York. If' the Gorgon, which is 430 tons mtore Imurden than the.Siris.performedt so well with the same power in the stormy bay of Biscay. during the winter, wvham may be expected from larger vessels of corresponding en ergies? These are facts full of interest, and the results already ascertained. have ttterly annihilated the theory of Doctor Lardner. That accidents will occasionally happen, miust he exp~ectedl, at Ileast for many years to come; ho' as imnprovemeints progress, and as new discoveries are made, less ap prehension will 1)e felt, and the system which is now only itn its infancy, will eventually bicomue as perfect as any htt man system may be. So mtuch for steam, as applied to navigation Its ttse arnd influenace on rail roads and manufactures are equally imrportant; but we shall advert to this branch of the stil ject at an early opportutnity.-Phil.

By entertaining good thoughts, wet keep out VIRGINIA MIIATARY INSTITUTE, The converson of the Public Arsenal at Lexingrut,Va. into a MilitaryAcademy, and the substitution of a school of young Virginiats for a garrison of hired -oldiers, isperhaps the most felicitous improveinsent which has charneterized the legislation of Virginia for many years. We tuderstand I that the Board of Visitors have recently organized the institution by the adoption of rules and regulations for it., govem uient, and taken steps for increased acconmo dations for prufessors and students-and that the institution will go into operation at some time during ilte prescnt )car. At this institution %%ill he tauht milita ry Science and Tacties, Civil and lilitary Engineering, the Modern Launuages, and by a happy and liberal connexion with Washington College, the whole range of Sciences necessary to a complete and per fect education. A tumber of cades equal to the number of Senaturb in Virginia,n% ill he received into the institution, and edu cated at the public expense. Besides the cadets proper, other voong men will be ad miuted at an expense of about IL0 dollars per year,inclnding every thing except their clothing. Francis 1.

The Board of Visitors, we understand, will again asssemble at Lexington about the first of September. of which dute no tiee will be given by the Proclamation of the Governor, for the putrpose of receivinig applications for admission into the In stitute. Qualiflentions for admission are limited to good moral character-the student to be not less thtan 16, nor more than :5 years of ge, aile to read anl wiite, and in the fimtr grand rules ofarit hmetic, inclu dirg decimal and vulgar fractions. The expendi'tre'of the school is the same as for the Public Guard-so that no additional charge ,ill be made upon the Treasury. We well remember the exertions ofCol.

Member of Congress 'rom North Carolina, to Mrs. Eaieline Bray. of the Parish of Rapide. Louisiana. OBITU.ARY. Another Patriot of the Revolution gone. -The venerable Colonel, William Alston lied, in the city of Charleston on the 261 Ill. in tlhe 83d year of his age. At the commencement of the Revolu ion, he left College, and took the field as a Volunteer, in defence of the liberties of is country. Though he did not enter the vegnluar Arny. he served at diflerent peri as throughout the war. under the Parti ran leaders, whose seivices and exploits IIrm the brightest page in the history of Souhb Carolina. tie was a Captamn under Marion. anl was entrused by him with he d hinee of a Fort in the harbour of Georgetown, when that lo"-n was nena eed by the rneny. Cl. Alston loved to Iwell on the virtines and services tif Mari nu, and was eud of relatinm an:ecdotes il iluwtrative of his character. On the return iarjeace. Col. Alston resumed the eniltiva ion of his paternal estate on the Warea maw, near Georgetown, which he pursued withone interruption, until nithin a few Years of his death. and with almost uinex :amphled sne ess. Devoted to agricultural pursuits, and the cares and duties of ilonestie life, he avoided, as far as pos. sih!e, all public employments. Being. however. a personal and politics friend Af Mr. Jeffer-on, lie was prevailed upon to lelld the weight of his name and influence to the party of which Mr.Jefferson was the head. le accordingly served for several years as a membter of the Senate of the State, and was one of the Democratic e lectors of the President and Vice Presi dent, at the time of the nemorable contest hetween Jefferson and Adams. lie soon retired, however, from public life, and fron that period devoted himselt'exclusive Iy to his private affairs. It is as a Caroli na Planier-a character identified with the interests anIl honor, and best hopes of the State-That Col. Alston was chiefly dis tinguished. Whether we estimate his claims to public consideration, by his extra ordinary success, tle admirable treatnent of his slaves, of a wise practical system of economy and good management, Col. Alton stood almost at the head of the class to which he he longed. It is believed that at the time of his death, he was. with per h:aps a single exception, the largest slave holder in South Carnlina-u. Comnencing life witha coamparatively a small numbaher o'f slaves, he went on steadily additng to huis stock, until they luad multiplied many fid.. it was th'e opiniona of Col. Alston, that in, t he maneement ofelav-es, thme true interest rifahe Planter were in exac't accordatnce with the dictates uofan enlightened htuman ity. It was therefoare with him a rule thr' life, to treat his slaves with the uttnosa lih erality and kindness, while he taever urelux ed the reians of a wholesome discipline. H is rule was to pros ide thetm with diwel linugs of the hest descript iotato clothe themt in the very best manner, and to allow thiem supplies of every kindr, on the moss liberal scale. The consegnience wans, that htisor aunmerouts plantations were modlelisof neat ness & order,.& hi-sslaves always exlthitedl an appearatnce of health & conmfort, wthich spoke nell for their treatment. They ere devotedly attached to their master, whose service they wouthd not huave ex -hanged for any other upon earth. Cosl. Alston, however, was not one of those speculative Philanthropists,wvho sac tifice essential good to visinnary theories. Hi-s system was based nu a eclat ion of pra-tical results. It was noet his slaves only whuo were to he tmtade prospaeronas anud hap. py. If they wei'e amotng the best treated in the State, his crops wrere always abtun lant, andr his rice of the first quality barotnght to the Charleston mnarket. "Col. Alston ived ho a gnod old age, and richly earned the title ofa neefunl citizent. If ohe i.jusetly tonsidered as a ptub'ic benefactor, whco rnakes t wo blades of grass grow wvhere one grew before," what shall we say of him who produced such results as we have a have detailed?
