AFFAIRS ON T11 R io GRANDE.--The following is an extract from a private letter to a gentleman in this city, says the New-Orleans Piayune of the 31st ult., written from Brownsville on the Rio Grande. While expressinE no concurrence with all the views o the writer, we think they are of in. terest to be made public: It has been a matter of surpris< to us here how little apparent interesi the late movements of Caravajal oi this frontier excited in New-Orleans -The majority of the papers either dic not notice it at all, or gave circulatior to the many absurd and false rumor: set afloat by the enemies of Caravaja here. And yet, had the affair beet successful, the cominerce of New Orleans would have been materiall3 extended, and the interests of A mericat commerce generally been greatly ben efitted. Those who know somethinj of the state of our frontier here wil recollect the miserable dullness o trade nine- moiths since, and th< amount of goods which had beef packed up for nearly a year, not onl, in consequence of the onerous Mexicai tariff, but also from every possibl impediment being thrown in the wai by foreign interest in Mexico. Thes began to feel that they could no longe monopolize the entire business, an< they were and are willing to risl everything to win a trade, the effect of wbich they feel deeply. Well, the first effect of Caravajal' movement on the Rio Grande was t< compel tife Alte-ient uflieers there t lower the tiiff to d scale at Whiel all coild aflbrd to pass, and cot: sequeitly a markiet wits found fo ote'r a million of dollars worth < property. Tha fear of Caravajal's re turn compels these oflicers still t retain the reduced tariff against th positive instructions of tile Genert Government, which has neither th power nor the means of enforcing it orders.-What a miserable state Mex co is in, torn with intestine dissension and the Government without power t suppress them. The interior trade with Mexico la been heretofore entirely under the ir fluence of foreigners, who have alway thrown, and will always -tlrow ol staclesa in the .way of American entei prise.

TIhis incident fum nished two ideas--that of the increased power of gunpowder when confined and that of its applicability to th propulsion of heavy biodi. s.. Thes Owo simple ideas, eapcied oiut inti - practice,, produced guns, large an< small, and revolutioniized the entir, system of war. Thle vib~rationls of thme lid of a1 ironi tea kittle gave the first hint o the expansive powver of steam. Th. hint, fllowed out through innumera bl experimnents finially endhed in th modern steam eniginie, which is t'as revolutionizing the miode of both lain< and water carriage. The first idea of our modern rail ways-and( it is a very simpjle ide -came from a lme near Newcastkc England. The plan occurred to som one of' "laying rails. of timher exactl, straight and parallel; and bulky eart were made with four rollers fit those rails, where the carriage wat made so easy that onme horse woul drawv fouir or five chaidrons of' coal." Thms coal was convveed from thm mines to the~ hank of the river Tyne This modle was in practic'e in I1670 howv much' earlier, is not known t< us, prob~ably to no onew; for, thtougli a grealt idea, it was like mostV otle great, ideas, thought of' little acecoun at the time of its origin. Lik, Ciolumnbus's method oft maukinmg ai egg stars! on the big end by jarringi so as to break the yolk, it wa thought to be too simple to desery any praise.

So we might go on to enuimerato the instances in which a very simple idea has ended in mighty results.-Otio Observer. PUNcni's CnIMINAL. CoU1'.-Mr. Punch sat for the purpose of trying offenders, some of whoi, when brought to the bar of public opinion, at once pleaded guilty. The ibllowing are a few of the principal delinquences: An unhappy youth was brought. charged with maliciously cutting and I wounding the English language, by r asking, "Of what sex is the National Anthem?" and then replying, "Mas culine; because its a hymn (him)." -Verdict: Guilty. Sentence deferred. A shabby-gentc person wats next charged with uttering the following counterfeit joke: a "What tree is it which i. not aflatited r by the' season, and brings forth neither I blossom nor fruit?-the boot tree." After the jury .had been absent for s seveFal hours, the foreman entered the court, declaring that there was s Vio chance of their agreeing in a verdict. The judge told then that under these y circumstances they had better go home. A youfhful individual, with a vactimt stare, was next put to the bar under r the following melancholy circut. f stances. Having passed the evening - in company with a friend, he was , about to bid the other good night, e when turning suddenly round lie , exclaimed, in a very unusual tone of a voice, "When is fleet street like the a country without a Government? When there's no cab-in-it (cabinet)." The , jury immediately returned a verdict of 2 acquittal, on the ground of insanity. The court then rose. ..FAClNG-. T1E Musc.-It has been a said tht, '"aill -discoid is lut harmony understood." The music of Ole Bull is considered only "tuning up," by t a rustic auditor, and the caterwauling f of nocturnal prowlers "discourses mobt eloquent music" in the ears of the i dismal tabby, whom it is intended to charm.

This prediction, or prophecy, was made in the JHouse, a few days since, by one of the extrcmes"-a gentleman a fronm Maine. 3 Mr. Appleton, in his speech in thec lIouse on the 1-7th- of' March, said a that wvhat the Whligs list'ened to there and imagined discord, was only the tuning of thte inistr-umenats. "Whenu the Bhaltimiore nomination is made," continued Mr. Appleton, "we will give thema a huarmlonious burst from' that full band, whose music has driven 3 them often heretofore froma the field of > battle."

Resol'ed, That we recognize the binding eflicacy of the compromises of the constitution, and believe it to be the intention of the people generally, as we hereby declare it to be ours in dividually, to abide such compromises, and to sustain the laws necessary to carry them out-the provision for the deliveiy of fugitive slaves, and the act. of the last Congress for that purpose included-and that we deprecate all further agitation of the questions em braced in the acts of the last Congress known as the compromise, and of questions generally connected with the institution of slavery, as unnecessary, useless and dangerout.

On Friday night last, says thec Savan nah Mlornuing News, of the 5th instant, a mxost darinag burglary was committed in this city, which should be strictly investigated by the auuhaorities, and every etlbrt empl~oyed to f'erret out the perpetrators. T1hae clothing store of Mr. T.1. Porter, and the grocery store of Mr. C. B. Scally, on the first floor of the New St. Andrew's Ihall, corner of B roughatona and J1eff'erson streets, were ihreibly enatered and robbed. 'The thieves effected an entrance into the stores by taking up the iron grating from the pavenment and entering the collar, passing from thence into the stores. They took from the draw~ers of' each storc nil the muoney which they contained. Fromn the gr'ocery store littte else was taken, but from the clothinag store a considerable amount of' goods were carried ofr. On Friday night, it will be remnem bored, theinoon shone fair and bright, and it is a little surprising that so daring a robbery could be perpetrated in one of our most public streets without the rob. hers being detected in the act. Our citizens naatur'alhy ask where were the watchmen of that wvard on Friday night? Could they have been: on duty? The city pays a hecavy tax to sup paort the night-watcha, and our citizens have a right to expect that their pro perty will be vigilantly guarded.

OzoN-WvAT is hi-This was a question often asked during the prevalence of the cholera in 1850. The last number of the Scientific American thus answet-s it: "Ozone is produced when the eivctrical brush passes from a moist wooden point into the atmosphere, or when phosphorous acts at common temperatures on a moist portion of the atmosphere. To produce ozone, take a clean piece of phosphorous, about half an inch long, which has been recently scraped; put it into a clean quat t bottle, at a temperature of about 60 deg. Fahrenheit, with as much water as will half cover the phosphorous; close the mouth slightly, so that if inflamnation tak-es plaec no harm may happen, and leave it The formation of ozone will. quickly occur, being indicated by the lupinous condition - of the' phosphorous, and the ascent of a fountain-like .column of smoke from it. In less than a minute the test will show ozone in the air of the bottle; in five or six hours it will be comparatively a bundant. Ozone is a gaseous body o a very peculiar imell; when concen trated, it has an odor like chlorine when diluted, it possesseir what i: called the electric- smell.' Atnos plierie air charged -strongly with i renders breathing difficult, causes un pleacant sensations, and producei catarrhal etfrects. It is insoluble ii water. It discharges vegetable'color. like chlorine. It does not unite witl flitrogen under .? it acts pwerfully on metallic bodies it perpxidizes lead and silver ver quickly. It is one of the most pow erful oxidiers that has ever beei discovered.
