WEBSTER, Secretary of Stale, Preservation of Fish.?-Fish can lie kept alive for several days, by means of spiritous liquors. Carp and tench may be preserved in winter for 15 or 18 days and pike for 12 days, by placing a piece of bread soaked in brandy in their mouths, and burying them in snow, or even in straw or hav. In summer, beer or wine answers as a substitue for brandy, when they should be enclosed in moss or grass saturated with the same liquor. They are brought to life again by wrapping them up in wet linen, after having taken the piece of bread out of their mouths, an J then putting them into fresh water. Eels are much more tenacious of life. It is sufficient to put them intoa vessel with damp earth and fresh grass. Maidstone Gazette, Steam Frigate MissLippi.?We find in the Philadelphia*Gazette a description of the national Steam Frigate now buildingatthe Navy Yard in that city. Her dimensions arc: length 219 feet, breadth 40 feet, depth 23 1-2 feet, mean immersion 18 1-2 feet, and hrr tonnage about 2,000 tons. The cylinders of her engines are each 75 inches diameter and 7 feet stroke. Her paddle wheels 30 feet diameter. She will have 4 copper boilers, with stowage for 800 tons of coal. The paddle wheels will be the divihx1 split ^ puddles generally used in American ves sels. The boilers are tested to a pressure of 39 lbs. per square inch above the at mo*phere, and intended to he worked to a pressure not exceeding 15 lhs. The vessel will be rigged and fitted as a frigate, and armed with 10 guns?two 10-inch long guns, and eight 42 pounders. Delirium Tremens no Excuse. In an action brought in the Common Pleas, New York, by James Butterly vs. Robert Darling, for an outrageous assault o o and battery bv which the plaintiff was wounded and permanently injured, the defence set up was insanity; which, upon investigation, proved to be delirium tremens. Judge Inglis held that that species of insanity did not exonerate the trespasser, and the jury rendered a verdict for $500 damage':. Mysterious Disappcara nee. We learn from Kensington, New Hampshire, that great excitement exists in that State in consequence of the sudden and unaceountahle absence of a wealthy, respectable citizen, and a State Senator, from his home?he having been absent upwards of five weeks, and no intelligence been obtained from him whatever, although the most unreinrnitting exertions to that effect have been made by his friend.

[From the Richmond ichig.] We understand that on Monday last, the day after the duties of Governor devolved on him, Mr. Patton issued his warrant for the surrender of Robert Curry, fugitive from justice from New-York in compliance with the demand made by the Governor of Now-York. He had provi jusly in his calcify ot Councilor, advised the surrender i f the fugitive when the suhfect was sukmited to the Council for their advice hy Gov. Gilmer. His own sense of duty, therefore required him to pesue the course he has so prom ply taken. He has, ?we understand enclosed the warrant to Gev.

The Robbers who have been long preying upon travellers on the Syracuse and Auburn Railroad are at length arrested, i This was accomplished hy the prompt : and determined action of three gentlemen ' who were rohbed on Saturday. Upon the arrival of the cars in this city on Saturday afternoon, Col. Wilkie, of New York, found that a package of money, which Mr. G. R. Ilirt had handed I him at R^.hester, had been stolen from ! ii 8 /.li s."1. j William K. Strong, E>q. of Geneva, j found that his trunk bad been opened and ' ^ ^ I O if 1 74 1^ niuicu n</iii ii< Frogmen Clark, Esq. Cashier of the Orleans Bank, discovered that his trunk had been opened and 84,100 stolen from it. The three gentlemen, on comparing recollections, became satisfied that the robberies were committed in the baggage car between Auburn and Syracuse. They I therefore returned to tiiat place on Sun| day accompanied by Messrs. Young and j Williams, railroad superintendents, by j whom, as well as by the other agents of ! the companies, and by Mr. Rust of the j Syracuse House, and Gen. Wood of the I American at Auburn, every assistance in j the pursuit was rendered. Suspicion fell so strongly upon Richard | Graves, collector on the A. & S. road, ! and George Wall, porter to the S. & U. ; road, that they were both arrested. An ! examination failed to elicit any facts | against Graves, who was discharged. Mr. Strong, however, went with Graves to i Auburn, keeping an eye on his movei iiiimiIs. Mr. Clark took Wall into a room at the Syracuse House, and, after locking , the door, commenced a conversation, i which continued seven or eight hours and resulted in a full confession of the 1 robberies and the recovery of all the mo. j Mcy* Mr. Clark drew Wall by degrees into ! familiar oonversation, and, in undertaking j to account for various sums of money i which had been traced to him, he got entangled in a labyrinth of contradictions. ' While thus embarrassed and alarmed, Mr. i C. informed him tiiat a mysterious box ; which was made for him had been found ! at his hoarding house. He then conies' scd that this $900 was part of a package 1 of #1700 belonging to Messrs. White & Williams, of B jtfalo, which he ha?! stolen I ! from E. Norton, Esq. last fall, and that | the box referred to contained $500 more j of the same money. , Wall, finding hirnsel cornered, became i anxious to tell all under a promise thai he should not be sent to his old quarters in the State prison. Mr. Clark promised to t*stand by him" if he confessed all and j give up all the money. He then said that he and Graves were in company; I that on the night of the last robbery he ! started from Auburn, locked alone in the car next to the baggage; that after the ! engine started he went into the baggage car with a dark lantern, and by means of false keys unlocked several trunks, taking packages of money from those of Messrs. Clark, Strong, and Wilkic; that, after i their arrival at Syracuse, he divided the i money with Graves, (who catne in the same train as collector,) and after ar| ranging it in such a manner as to preserve . ! it, they secreted it in the basement wall i, (if the Presbyterian Church, where, on i examination, it was found, one of the packages having "R. Graves" on it, and the other being marked G. Wall." I W oxdkkfui. Astksian Well.? At {last after seven years assiduous toil and 1 boring to the depth of 1700 feet! on,the J 26 February, if.

At ! the sight of it he exclaimed, not unlike i the Greeks under Xenophou, on reaching 'the sea, ''Water! water!" and in his i working clothes rushed to the Town Hall, 1 where the municipality were in session, i and bursting into their midst, repeated j "Water! water!" and they iu turn cried i | "Huzza for 3fu!ot. /" , J The site of this remarkable well, which ?' continued to pour forth a full and con, ( stant stream, was at the public slaughter ' house, near the barrier of Greiielle.? ' Mulot was honored with a decoration in consequence of his success. He is to he employed in piercing three other such wells. Crowds of curious persons had continued to visit this wonder, all carrying away in vials and bottles portions of water, I and some shaving themselves in public with the warm fluid. Ministers had also ( visited it. The water will, it is supposed suffice for the supply of the neighborhood of Chaillot, of the Military School, and the invalided.

We learn that letters havo been received froin the brig Richmond, Bates, of this port which state that this vessel had been overhauled by a British g cruiser.

Indian Emigration.?The Stcaincr James Adams, in the Government, service irrived at this Port on Monday afternoon, having on board one hundred and five Inrlians, emigrating to Arkansas. Major Bellnap, who has been charged with the July of transporting these Indians to their new homes, was on board, accompanied by Left. Sprague, Mr. Capers, Disbursing Agent, I)r. Randall, and Mr. Cloud of the Paymaster's Dcpastment. The party of Indians on board the AdRtns was made up of fragments of differcnt tribes, Tallahassee*, Mickasukies, Seminoles, <fcc. Among them were thirty warriors, the remainder were women find children. The Spanish Indians caplured by Col. Harney, were also on board.

The Tallahassres were all ir? except Tigcrfail, and a little party headed by him comprising only about forty, among whom were hut eighteen warriors.
