AEROLITES. The following interesting account ofone of these extraordinary phenomena of na'ure having recently fallen at the Cape of Good Hope, is an extract of a letter from a gentle, man raiding there, on whose authority the strictest reliance may be placed.?" Nov. 24, 1838. I have taken the liberty to trans mit under your charge for Sir J. Herschel, the accompanying aerolite, another portion of an enormous aerolite, that explo ed in the department called the Cold Bokko. veld, about 112 miles IN. N. hi. ot this place, ~0Q the morn'ng of the 13th October, ard which, for magnitude, rauks with the largest on record of undouted authority. Judge Menzies, returning from circuit saw it traversing the atmosphere, about sixty miles from the estate where it exploded, with a report equal to the discharge of some pieces of heavy artillery, to the great astonishment of the inhabitants, one of whom had a narrow escape from being des'royed by iL 1 am making strong efforts to secure a piece, said to have made a hole in the ground that would admit a dining table!

P. M. (day., light) passed over us. I was sitting with my back to a window, when I was suddenly startled by the image of the window frame on the opposite wall, as if the noonday snn was shining through it; at the same instant, another person sprang up, who was sitting with her face to the window, and saw a body as large as a full moon de. niKwllnr. aiul utki^k tall in O cni|th.(>a?t CH. os*vij\jltm?? uuu ninvu ivii iu h ?<? ? ? rection from us, at the distance cf less than half a mile.

There is a letter from the clergyman at the Bokeveld, describing the explosion,, enclosed to Sir John, with whatever I could pick up."

I've been a foe red to venture on matrimony myself, and I don't altogether think I'll spckilate in that line for one while* It don't just suit a rovin mnn like me." It's a considerable of a tie, and then it ain't like a horse deal, where, if you dont't like the beast, you can put it off in a raffle, or a trade, or swop, or suit yourself better, but you must make tho best of a bad bargain, and, put up with it.

Fifty-one Indians, men, women, and picaninnies, were landed at Fort Marion on Tuesday, from the Medium, from Charleston, (the party captured by Lieut. Hanson, and those from the South, sent there, and ordered back.) They appear in good health, but somewhat downcast, a sea voyage being a new thing to them. A report (we hope unfounded) is publish, ed that General Taylor has offered to re. lease tho whole, provided 13 of the murderers at Coosahatchie be delivered up. By common estimation the war has cost 29 or 30 millions, and 20 or 30 hundred Indians have boon killed or captured, (100 or or 150 only have been killed during the t _ i war,) that is, *.o Kill or capture an inuian costs ten thousand dollars, and during th<? war the lives of at least 1000 whites have been sacrificed in battle or by assassination.

A large amount of American property is alleged to have been sequestered at Tampico under the authority of the Mexican Government. The following account of the circumstances connected wi'h the proceeding is given by the Baltimore American, from the Mobile Journal : " Tampico was, for a season, in the full possession of Mexia and the Federalists; and the French Admiral, desirous to favor that parly, excepted Tampico out of the general blockade of the Mexican ports. This led to large and valuable shipments from the United States, especially fr <m the port of Now Orleans. The Mexican Government retaliated by a decree, dated on the 8th of January, when they were absolutly without power in Tampico or ;he vi? in ty, by which decree that port was closed against all commerce coastwise or foreign. o o Ou the defeat and death of Mexia, rhe con sequent triumph of the Centralists, nnd die occupation of Tarnpico by Bustumente, the Government proceeded to enforce rigidly the decree ? f January 8th,and issued orders to the coll' c'or and military commandant of the place to seize on all goods imported after the publication of that decree, and demanded secur iy for ail th t have been sold, unless the shippers can prove that they had not been duly informed of the decree in qu stion. The value of American property in jeopardy is said to be a million of dollars at least, and the Mexican author itics have sufficient need of the money to | make them very little scrupulous in the grounds of condemnation. Thero is a great deal of interest felt in this matter in in New Orleans, where a large part of the property is owned; and it is loudly contended that the actual possession of the port by the Federalists, with an adequate force to keep it so long against the power of the Government, was a sufficient evidence to foreigners of their right to control its commerce ; and that, accordingly, any attempt of the Central Government to enforce the penalities of decrees which it was unable to put into effect when issued, is a violation of L - ? C t mnMnon oififono fi ?p which ine ngllUt Ul AIHL-iivuu vmsuiioi ?. they call for the interposition of our Government." "We suspect,'* adds the American, * however, that the better defence for the endangered property is the fact, sufficiently well ascertained, that the Mexican decree in question was never officially notified in this country ; and that, in consequence, it will be in the power of every American citizen to show that he never had official knowledge of its existence." the thames tunnel. The workmen employed in this great undertaking have succeeded in reac hing lowwater mark, the accomplishment of which task causes all fear of another irruption taking place to become allayed. The length of the tunnel is now 020 feet being little short of three-quarters of the whole distance which it will be necessary to effect to reach he Middlesex shore?there being abou: 880 feet more to completeihe entire length. The average distance which the workmen , weekly accomplish is nine feet; it is theref re expected that the tunnel will be opened for passengers towards the latter end of next year.

Tornado.-?A violent tornado passed in the vicinity of Newark, N. J. on Wednesday last, whose force it seems was nearly equal to the well.remembered New Brunswick tornado. Some individuals at work upon the salt meadows, hearing ihe noise of its approach, took refuge in a solitary house, and were scarcely in when the spout swept over the house with awful power, carrying away the whole upper story, and leaving two of hi family, who had fled to the second floor, with no other covering than tho broad canopy above. The barn and out Jiouses on the north were shivered into ruins, and the fragments scattered two and three hundred yards along the path of the s'orm. A horse and wagon at the door were turned completely ov<t, the wagon and harness torn t orn the horse, passing lengthwise over him, and shivered into atoms, the strongest iron joints being torn asunder. U. S Gazette. THE AMISTED. We learn, frem the New York pipers, that on Wednesday, the 18th instant, on mo ion of the counsel for the three African girls, who were not implicated in the criminal charge, and were not bound over to ! await the action of the grand jury, a writ of habeas corpus was issued, directing the he marshal to bring them up; tl.a* on Thursday, after various I bels and claims in relation to the Amistad had been read and fihd, the three girls were brought up; that on the next day, the return of the habeas * ? 1 .? . corpus was elaboruiely argueci ; ana mat the Court delivered its charge to tho grand jury, ins'ructing them that the act for which Cinguez and his associates stood charged, having been committed on board a Spanish vessel, was not cognizable in our courts. The Court had previously decided that the negroes could not be held underSthe claim of Lieut. Gcdney for salvage. The decisions on these two points greatly simplify the case, and will probably lead to a speedy disposition of all tho questions involved in it. Nat. IntelI. New York, September 24. In the case of the Africans of the Arais'ad, Judge Thompson has dismissed ihe writ of habeas corpus, and denied the motion lor the hberaiion of the Africans, upon which motion they are taken back to jail, and the case is to be examined in November before the D strict Court. The Court then adjourned sine die. It is not certain whether the capture took nLce within the limits of the state of New York or on the high seas. If the former the district court of Connecticut where the case is now pending has no jurisdiction ol it; it must come before t' e Distric c rnrt of New York. If the cap:ure was inade at sea, then, any distiict court has jurisdiction. Measures have been taken to ascertain whether the point at which the capture took place is within the juiisdiction of the Admiralty or common law courts. This will be done before the sitting of the court in November. u WHI, Bob, how much did your pig weigh V?** Oh don't know, it did'nt weigh as much as I expected?I always thought it wouldn't."

An Unlynched Scoundrel.?In passing through our Multicaulis field yesterday, we found where 10 or 12 stalks had been cut from j some of the finest trees. They were proba- ' bly 8 or 10 feet high and well branched. The theft was committed several weeks since, ap. parently about the time of the last rains; and for the purpose, doubtless, of cutting up the wood for planting. Any information which may lead to the detection of the rogue will be liberally rewarded. Gen. R. Y. Hayne, died at Ashville, Pf.

No man never attained so great ceieomy in the state, at so early an age; and what causes his loss to be the more deeply deplored, is that, unlike some other distinguished men, he was as much beloved for his private virtues as he was respected for his talents his attainments, and his pubic services. A public meeting was called by the City Council of Charleston to have been held on Wednesday, for the purpose of giving expression to the feelings of the community on the mournful occasion.

We have been requested to copy the pro. ceedings at length, but as they consist merely of the routine of proceeding in organizing the society, and as they have already been printed, which affords the members who wish to pro* cure copies an opportunity of doing so, it seems to us handed necessary to occupy room with more than we havo copied. We hope the intelligent and enterprising planters of that respectable district will furnish much through their society that will go the round of Agricultural periodicals. AGRICULTURAL SUMMARY. The Tennessee Farmer mentions a calf belonging to a neighbor of the editor which when just three moi ths old, weighed 360 lb. and a heifer which, when one year old weighed 690 lb. The fo-mcr is a full blood Durham, and the latter half blood. The same paper says; "A full blood short horn Durham calf belonging to Henry & Ran* dall, of Cortlandvilie, weighed wh*>n one day old, one huudred and twenty four peunds." Wo learn from the American Farmer that Agricultural Fairs, for the sale of live stock are about to be instituted in the state of Maryland. The first is to be held at Eilicot's Mills on the 130th of the present month. Dr. Muse states in the last number of the same paper that he planted the corn, consisting of 500 grains, from one ear of the "China or Tree Corn," or. the 17th of April, in drills 5 feet apart, 18 inches in the drill, and one grain at a point. The ground had been previously rolled after plowing. He afterwards used only the "Cultivator" except once p owing highly about the middle of June. He gathered nearly one thousand ears, generally larger than the one planted; though many smaller. He fully believes that if he had succored the corn his product would have been much greater. The corn was sufficiently matured for meal by the middle of August, at least two months earlier than the common corn. His seed he procured from Grant Thorbum, who first cultivated this variety of corn in the United States. Is it not probable therefore that those persons whose expectations have been disappointed m the corn raised by them for China corn had been imposed upon by spurious seed 1 An Agricultural meeting was to be held in Cheshire county Main, on the 25th ult. which was to be addressed by the Hon. Isaac Hill, formerly U. S. Senator, and afterwards Governor of the state. Mullicaulis in Louisiana.?The Louisiana Advocate of Sept, 14th, states that at that time trees from one bud cuttings planted last spring had attained, in the neighborhood of Covington, a height of from 12 to 15 feet in good soil, and on the ordinary soil of the wodtfs, from 8 to 10 feet. A leaf from a tree reared by Mr. VV. Bagley of the same village, meas. ured 16 inches by 14 1-2, and weighed 273 grains. That the value ofihe tree is duly estimated there, may be infered from the fact that for one tree three years old 825 were paid, although 'here are several hundred thousand trees now growing in the Parish. Two steamboats came in collision lately on the Potomac, and one of them was so much injured as soon to sink to the waters edge. The passengers escaped to the other boat. The published account does not state how so rep* rehensible carelessness occured. A fire lately originated in the National Theatre N. York city, and destroyed that building with three churches which stood near, the French Episcopal, African Episcopal, Dutch Reformed Churches. THE DAGUERREOTYPE. The secret ofM. Daguerre's wonuerful! veation which represents on paper the exact picture of any scenery whatever, has been made public The publication was first made by the inventor to (he Academy of Sciences. We copy below the concluding part of an ana. lysis of his lecture or exposition, which states the process. We now come to the great discovery in the . rocess for which M. Daugerre has received a national reward. It is t > the following effect : A copper sheet, plated with silver, well cleaned with diluted nitric acid, is exposed to the vapor of iodine, which forms t ie first coat* ingr, which is very thin, as it does not exceed the millionth part of a metre in thickness.? There are certain indispensable precautions necessary to render thi? coating uniform, the chief of which i6 the using of a rim of metal round the sheet. The sheet, thus prepared, is placed in the camera obscura, where it is allowed to remain from eight to ten minutes* It is then taken out, but the most experienced eye can detect no trace of the drawing. The sheet is now exposed to the vapor of mercury, and, when it has been heated to a temperature of 60 degrees of Reaumur, or 167 Fahrenheit, the drawings come forth a6 if by enchantment. One singular and hitherto inexplicable fact in this process is, that the sheet when exposed to the action of the vapor, must be inclined ; for if itjwere placed in a direct position over the vapor, the results would b>' loss satisfactory. The angle used is 48 d grees. The last part of the process is to place the sheet in the hyposulphite of soda, ana then to wash it in a large quantity of distilled water. The descrip. tion of the process appeared to excite great in. tefest in the auditory, amongst, whom we observed many dis'inguiehed persons connected with science and the fine-arfs. Unfortunately the locality was not adjusted suitable for the performance o M. Dagurrc's experiment but we understand that arrangements will be made for a public exhibition of fhetu. Three htgtily carious drawings, obtained in this, manner wore exhibited?one of the Pont Marie, another of M. Daugerre's atelier, and a third of a room containing some rich carpeting, all the minutest threads of which were represented with the most mathematical accuracy, and with wonderlul richness of effect.

MelanchoUy Occurrence.?which resulted in the death of tour men, citizens of the adjoining county of Chambers, in the state of Alabama, was detailed to us yesterday; and from the respectability of its source we have no doubt of its truth. We have not been able to obtain the names of the sufferers It appears that a well, in the neighborhood of Standing Rock, in the county above mentioned, having failed to yield its usual supply op water, the owner determined to have it cleaned out. A person was let down by the well bucket and rope, but showed no s gns of action when at the bottom?he was called to, but did not answer. A second proposed to go down and ascertain what was the matter, and he also, as , soon as he arrived at the bottom, became sui pine and silent. A third proposed to go down, with the understanding that ho was to be drawn up as soon as he called out, the persons present then suspecting for the first time, that there was some mephytic gas at the bottom of the well. He went down, but it was only to join his unfortunate companions. When he got nearly to the foot of the well, he called to be drawn up ; but when about half way up, he fell from the bucket! A fourth then proposed that he should be lashed fast, and he would de. soend, with the understanding also that he should be hauled up as soon as he called out. He had descended but lit'ie more than half way when he gave the word; they drew him up quickly, but had barely time to unlash him before lite was extinct. The other three were i then taken out of the well with graplee, but pone of them showed the least signs of life?* the vital spark was forever extinguished! This melancholy catastrophe happened on Thursday and the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers were all consigned to the grave on Friday last. A train of tweoty-three dars, all well stored with merchandise of various kinds, for the interior, went up the Rail Road one day last week. A very large quantity of goodfc have already arrived at this port, to take the Rail Road, destined for parts of the country that have always heretofore feceired their supplies through other channels. Various sorts ofcoun* try produce too have been sent to this market by the way of the Road, irom sections of the State which have been to Wilmington, so far as traffic was concerned, terra incognita.

Morus Multicaulis FOR Sale noarly or quite TWO MILLIONS of Morus Multicaulis cuttings of remurka. bly well grown and well matured wood; a large proportion from roots one and two years old. Tbe trees are very supor or, gonerally froru 6 to 10 feet high, growing on dry sandy land, in raws from 4 to 8 feet apart, and standing, generally, at Iroin 2 to 3 feet in tho row. Main stems and branches will bo sold together ; and, rather than refuse a good offer, tho roots will also bo sold. It is estimated that tho lot will yield from four to five hundred thousand cuttings an inch and quarter, or more in circumference. Such cuttiu s, as I know from last spring's experience, grow almost as certainly as rooted plants, even with bad management in an unfavorable season, more especially when grown themselves from rt o!ei plants, as is the case with many of those here offered. It is confidently believed that very few if any lotsoftroes are for sale in the country which afford so larire a number of so pood cut. tings. They are worth visiting from a'distancc by a person wishing to purchase so great a num. ber of trees or cuttings of prime quality. Tho present price is 12$ cents per foot, or 2 cents per bud. A reasonable deduction would be made to a purchaser of the whole lot. The field on which tho trees stand is within a few hundred yards of tho Cheraw boat landing, from which thoro is regular steamboat communication with Geor^o Town and Charleston.
