(D* Spontaneaus Combustion. ?A case.of f,t
j. ; spontaneous combustion occurred at Philadel- Ir
i_ phia a short tune ago, which may be ci'cd to j w
" j put housekeepers on their guard. The Na-' 8<
' j iional Gazette gives the following account of . ;
3- 1 t!ic phenomina:? , '
ie 1 "On Sunday morning last, abr.it 1 o'clock,
: a lady in Arcli near Eleventh street, in Plpla- 1
j delphia, who was sittinr up wr'n her sick '
husband, was .surprised by the s?;ud -:i burs'-1 U
!- ' aig o:f u a i rh ir 6?.ng table on is
ie top of it a newspaper. The reflection of
10 Hame from liie looking wade tiie
hole table at lirst appear to be in a blaz
.lthough very much alarmed at so uneipectland
unaccountable an occurrence, she had
ic presence of mind to take up the burning
inss of paper on the shovel and throw it into
tub of water which stood near. With the
line instrument she covered the blaze which
ad communicate to the dimity table cover
ml the varnish of the table. The only light
l the jooin at the time was a small Heating
iper, which stood on a stand several feet j
0:11 the dressing case. When *he had sufcicntiv
recovered from her surprise to inves-1
gate the cause of this singular occurrence,,
o o
10 recollected that 011 the Thursday before
ic had spread a rag with sweet oil for a bhs-1
?r and had left it for a few moments on the i
ressing table, which had occasioned a grease
)ot on the cover. The papers lay 0:1 or near
11s spot. At 1) o'clock on Saturday ingiit a
eculiar emnyreuinatic jine'd liad been perceiL'd
in the room but thefftjurce of it liad not
ecn suspected. No doubt tlio process oi
ombustion had been going on slowly for some
me 111 the cloth and letter paper, until reach
ig the air, it burst in'oflaino m the newspalt..
May not many tires which have been
onsidered the work of incendiaries, have re- ;
jlted from a similar cause !"
Some persons may be disposed to doubt the ;
hove, but we have no doubt of its truth, be- !
ause a circumstance somewhat similar lias
appened within our own knowledge. It was
:us: in a store where linseed oil was kept
>r sale, a small quantity was spilt on the floor,
was wipep up with some raw cotton, the i
otton was tiien thrown into a barrel with !
ther parcels of the same article, spontaneous
wnbustion was the consequence, and the i
lure narrowly escaped conrfngration.? Charit

> Charleston.?It wi!J be remembered (says
le Norfolk Roacon) that the last Congress i
lade an appropriation for the survey < f an
)i:\nd water communication for steam boats
om Norfolk to Charleston, and we are htlp.
y to add, tint arrangements are now in prorer-s,
for tlio immediate surrey of the vari-'
us nlmfnwfin the Rivers and bounds,:
^meeting these points. Cel. Kerney, of t!ie |
rnited States Topographical Engineers, will
e in charge of the survcv, assisted bv Messrs.
. McCuilen, T. J. W F. II. Smith, A. M.!
litchell, formerly of the United States JYavy,
nd G. W. Featherstonaugh. TJie corps wall 1
e divided into two parties, the one conducting f
le the examination of the Pasquotank River !
ad the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, and .
ie other along Cere Sound, as far as Beau-!
>rt. A communication will then be sought
> the Cape Fear River, and thence to the I
I accamaw and down that river to George- j
>\vn. Where obstructions are found insur- i
lountable. canals will be resorted to. Should
ie route be found practicable, of which there
littledor.br, it is evident that a more impor?nt
means cf communication between the .
forth and the South, and between different
oints of the Scuth, could not engage the at
mtiou of the country.

light.y rivers of North and South Carolina,

ous transit of the productions of the Caroli- ;
as to a sea-board market. It is likewise
lain, that Norfolk cannot fail* to reap great
rotit from the scheme, which, among other
dvantages, will bind her in still closer bonds ;
