A grand Balloon.?The new balloon
intended by Mr. Green for an excursion
C3 if 1 1 1 C^I.I 1 A .. 13
to ocuuuii'j, hub ut'cu uuisiieti. alii u?iiglish
paper gives a description of the enormous
machine, a trial of which was recently
made at the Salford gas-works:
"The balloon is 170 feet in circumfer- |
encc, 80 feet high when inflated, contains ,
2000 yards of silk, holds 70,000 cnbic |
feet of gas, and whfllt inflated with pure, |
hydrogen, would ascend with 28 persons j
of the average weight of 103 lbs each; it
is calculated that with common coal gas,
it would ascend with 8 or 10 persons, hesides
ballast and apparatus. Mr. Qreen
and Mr. Taylor had got into the car, and
the balloon, which was then held by a
s'.nglc rope, was allowed to ascend a foot
or two. Carpenter was holding on the
rope, with several soldiers, when the bolloon
began to rise; the soldiers let go too
soon, and carpenter was taken up with
the balloon to the height of two hundred (
feet from the ground. The intrepid fellow,
however, got up the rope and scaled
the side of the car with great dexterity.
The aeronauts descended safely near
the farm-house of Mr. Job Brownhill,
close to the Disley and Macclesfield canal,
at a quarter before six o'clock, after a
delightful voyage of forty-five minutes."
Effects of the Air.?Mr. Roberts, an '
Engineer on the Liverpool and Munchester
Rail Road, relates a curious incident ,
which occurred to him, not Jong since,
illustrative of the force which the wind
exerts upon locomotive carriages, ft was
blowing a hurircane, and the wind was
almost parallel with the Rail Road in the
direction of Manchester. He was directed
to take an engine and follow the train, '
which it was feared might not he able to
contend with the wind that was blowing.
He did so, and on his return he found that
the wind which was blowing about 80
miles an hour, was sufficient to carry
them along without the smallest assistance
from steam. In this manner they went at
such a speed, as completely to neutralize
the effect of the hurricane. Sometimes
they had a puff of ahr in their faces, and
sometimes they felt a slight effect from the
wind at their backs, but generally the
effect was that of a calm still air.
Civility is the consequence of a good
educetion, and the true mark of polite
parentage, it has the property of at
trading the good opinion of people at a
little expense, and even brutality yields
- to its power. It is certain that civility
has extraordinary effects; for it ,forces
men to bo honest, makes avarice ashamed
of itself, softens the savage heart, and
keeps the clown at a distance. To a
great prince it is an invaluable diamond
in bis crown; among the vulgar it is a
wonder if aver found. It i? a great recommendation

The Dea*> SeA.?Mr. Buckingham in
his interesting lectures supports the opinion
that the dead sea, is called by that
name, because no living thing is to be
found in it or around it. The Dead Sea,
or rather the Lake known by that name,
was, no doubt, formed by the burning of
Sodom and Gomornh, and the doomed ,
rities which were built on that bituminous ~
nineral known as asphaltes, which soon
guiles and burns with great quickness.
\lelt some asphaltes and pour it into a
tumbler" of water, and after it remains
some time the water has all the bitterness
of the Dead Sea; hence the impossibility .
of fish of any kind living in it, but birds
and living animals are not effected by ?
being near it.- Mr. Stephens, in his in- <
teresting incidents of travels, is clear on *
this point. He saj s,? j
" Almost at the moment of my turning ^
from the Jordan to the Dead Sea, notwith- c
standing the Jong credited account account
that 110 bird could fly over it without drop- j
ping dead on its surface, I saw a flock of
guils floating quietly on its bosom, and .
when I roused them with a stone, they J
flew down the lake, skimming its surface!.
until they were out of sight."
Romantic and pious imaginations are
apt to attribute Tacts to other causes "than
their natural ones. We have always been
of opinion that the great mass of the
Naptha, Petrolium and Asphaltes run 1
throughout Palestine, and from internal ,
ttes and volcanic eruptions, produce so!
many fatal earthquakes.?N. Y Star.

Mr Calhoun's Resolutions^ Mexico. | Q
In the {Senate, to-day, Mr. Calhoun tal- | j.
ed up his Resolutions relative to aggfres- a
lion of Hlates, and of combinations ofl g
heir citizens upon the 81avcholding \
Btate? of ihc South and West,?an ab-L
>tract of which I sent you in my last. x
[fe moved that they be postponed to L
Wednesday next, and be made the order
>f the day fur that dy. Some discussion g
irose on this motion, in which Mr. Callounexpressed
the opinion that something c
nust be done by the South on this sub- j
ect; that it was idle to expect any efficient
iction on the p?rt of the Non-Slavehold
ng |Rc presentaiives?they being cnibar-1 *
rased by political considerations; that
[his was the great disease of the country;
md thai it would be better to attempt to
arrest the disorder to-day* than to-morrow,
and to-morrow, thun next day.
Mr. r-tr-inge was willing to vote for the *
Resolutions. He tpproved of their prin
ciples, but Ire was opposed to the introluctioh
of any proposition, on the part
of the South, which was calculated to
increase and continue agitation on the J
uibjcn.
Sir. Preston spoke ih opposition to the'
Resolutions, as too abstract in their charlCter,
and as inefficient for any particular
purpose. He assented to all-the propo- .
unions of his colleague, hut to arrest them
is abstractions, wi'hout carrying out their
principles by legislation, would, lie argued.
bo of no avail. I
Thou shalt do no murder," was a pro*
position to which all agreed in the ab- *
i tract, hut it would he useless, without 1
practical legislation. He also stated, that I
rhe Southern members weTe now engaged I
n considering what general measure on <
this subject should be brought forward. <
Mr. Calhoun was willing and anxioufe. '
fie said, to unite in any measure, having I
in view the protection of the rights and j
interests of the South, and he thought I
the adoption of these Resolutions would'
strengthen any action which might hereafter
be resolved on by Southern members.
The chief object of his proposition was,
to present the Southern view of the question,
and, st the same time, to offer a
ground upon which all Anti-Abolition
Senators could unite. Mr. Calhoun's
motion finally prevailed.
Mr. Norvell, of Michigan, offered a
series of Resolutions on the subject of
Abolition memorials* providing that they
should not hereafter be received. It is
not at all probable that the R< solutions
would obtain the vote of many Northern |
Senators. It would break them at home.J t
In the House, to-day, a further deba^ ' \
of considerable interest took p ace on the i
motion to refer the New York Peace So- i
ciety memorial; (which prays Congress 1
to accede to the proposition alk-dged to i
have bcton made by the Mexican Congress, i
for the ^adjustment rtfc the difficulties, be- j
tween the two countries,) to the Commit- I
tee on Foreign Affair*. Mr Howard sta 11
ted that the proposition referred to in the/1
J ' '

memorial, wii received by OA SeereU#
of State, ia anotejUfed on |he Wd inat.
He sakV however?!* wa?^og>f*pied
by a SW Decree, directing ibe porta of
Mexico to be closed ijfrtast th* United
States, and their manufactures prohibited,
dee. in case the United States shall delay
satiffeetiea for the aggressions by thero
committed on the^ rights of Mexico. He
regretted "to any Chat be did not see in the
Deerer itself nor io -the mode and time Of
its communication, the evidence, of a more
friendly disposition on the part of the
Mexican Ott^rnment iowards' tiiia couh- i

position was not, in facusraade by the
Mexican Government. It was only a
Decree of the mexican Congress. Tim
memorial was refer&ed to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
The lette)- oT our correspondent, to
which he makes reference to-day, as containing
an abstract of these important Resolutions,
has not reached its. We are
indebted to the courtesy of the Editor of
the Fatrio'f, for a copy of them, which
we now lay before our readers.
Resolved, That in the adoption of the
Federal Constitution, the States adopting
the same, acted severally, as free, independent,
and sovereign States* and that
each, for itself, by its own voluntary assent,
entered the union with the view to
its increased security against all dangers,
domestic as well as foreign, and the more
perfect andlsecur'e enjoyment of its advantages,
natural, political and social.
Resolved, That in delegating a portion
of their powers, to be exercised by the
Federal Government, the States retained,
severally, the exclusive and sole rijthti
over their own domestic institutions and
police, and are alone responsible for them,
and that any intermeddling of any one or
more Stales, or a combination oT their
citizens, with the domestic institutions
and police of the others, oh any ground,
or under any pretext whatever, political,
moral, or religious, with the view to their
alterat on, or subversion, is an assumption
of superiority not warranted by the Constitution,
insulliug to the States interfered
with, tending to endanger their domestic
peace and tranquility; subversive of the
objects for which the Constitution was
formed, and by necessary consequence,
tending to weaken and desHroy the Union
tscIT.
Resolved, That this Government was
ostituted and adopted by the several
Slates of this Union as a common agent,
n order to carry into effect the powers
. hich they had delegated by the Constiution
for their mutual security and | ros>erity;
and that, in fulfilment of this high
nd sacred trust, this Government is
>ound so to exercise its nowp.ran? in .riv<.
- ? i? ; "" to" ' i8
far as may be practicable* increased
liability and security to ibe domestic inititutions
of the States that compose the'
Jnion; and that it is the solemn duty o( |
he Government to resist at all attempts
>y one portion of the Union, to use it as
in instrument to attack the domestic inlitutions
of another, or to weaken or detroy
such institutions, instead of strengthning
and upholding them, as It in duty
>ound to do.
Resolved, That domestic slavery, as it
exists in the Southern and Western States
)f this Union, compose an important part
*f their domestic institutions, inherited
from their ancestors, and existing at the
idopliou of the Constitution, by which it
is recognised as constituting an essential
element in the distribution of its powers
imong the States, and that no change of
opinion, or feeling, on the part of the
sther States of the Union in relation to
i!, can justify them or their citizens in
open and systematic attacks thereon, with
the view to its overthrow; #n(l nil
such attacks are in manifest violation oi
the mutual and solemn pledge to protect
and defend each other, given by the States
respectively, on entering into the Constitutional
compact, which formed the Union,
ind as such is a manifest breach of faith,
ind a violation oi the most solemn obligations,
moral and religious.
Resolved, That the intermeddling of
iny State or States, or their citizens, to
ibolish slavery in this District, or any of
he Territories, on the ground, or under
he pretext, that it is immoral or "sinful,
>r the passage of any act or measure of
Dongress, with that view, would be a direct
and dangerous attack on the institutions
of all the Slave-holding States.
Resolved, That the Union of these i
States rests on an equality of rights and i
advantages among its members; and that
whatever destroys that equality, tends to
lestroy the Union itself; and that it is the <
solemn duty of all, and more especially i
>f this body* which represents the States
in their corporate capacity, to resist all i
attempts to discriminate between the States i
in extending the benefits of the Govern- !
ment to the several portions of the Union;
ind that to refuse to extend to the Southern
and Western States any advantage <
which would tend to strengthen* or ren-|
Jer them more secure, or increase their ;i
limits of population by the annexation of j
lew territory or States, oh the assump- I
lion or under the pretext that the institu- '
lion of slavery, as it exists atnong them, 1
is immoral or sinful, or otherwise nlmnv. <
? ? I ?
iuui, would be contrary to that equality of 1
rights and advantages which the Con-It
ititution was intended to secure alike toll
nil the members of the Union, and would,
in effect, disfranchise, the slaveholding
States, withholding from them the advftn-1
rages, while it subjected them to thai
burthorns of the Government. |

The pacet ship, St. James, from Portsmouth
England, arrived last night* The
news she brings is very unimportant.?
The London money market was still.
The capitalists were waiting to learn the
eoittdnts of the <2ueen*s speech,rbefore

Very large exports of specie have taken
.pjiace* 1,010 ounces of gold and 6,766

made from Liverpool. This is accounted
for by British finances, in this way.?

unabated, these exports are to cover the
American importations. I believe myself
ihe Bri.ish specie exports to be in a great
measure owing to this cause. There is,
perhaps, another which has had no little
influence. It is now the almost ascertaiu
ed fact, that the crops of Fgyph owing
to the non-rising of the Nile, will produce
little or nothing. Minor occurrences have
also helped to bring about this effect, of
which one perhaps is. that spccio can be
imported here at a profit. The wisdom
of our Government in its opposition to
the paper money system is becoming
every day wore apparent, and before long,
the American people will hail its destruction
as secondary only in its happy results
tp the war Of independence, From
all parts ofthe world, the precious metals
are pouring in upon us. The ship John
IW. Cator arrived yesterday from Kings
ton, Jamaica, ?he brought tfou,wu in
specie, "consigned to the Merchants bank
here. She brought also other consignments
of gold and silver to a considerable
amount. If Providence only favors .*
us during the next two months-, the opening
spring will commence with considerable
commercial action. Our mechanics
and laborers will find ready employment,
and the delusions of Federal sophistry, .
aided by distress, will be listened to no
more. I told you not to expect much
during the holidays; wc are dull?\cry
dull here, (I speak commercially,) and
little or nothing can be said to be done.
From Canada-, intelligence comes yet
"in such unquestionable shape," that I
am fearful of relating any thing as positively
true. The newest tale is, that the
British authorities have employed the
Canadian Indians against the insurgents,
that numbers of them have been tomahawked
and scalped! and that these ruthless
barbarians are spreading desolation
and despair, wherever they appear. I
hope for the sake of humanity?for the
honor of the British name?that this horrible
relation is a falsehood. Numbers
ol volunteers are daily joining the en,
campmcnt at Nuvy Island. The dislodging
the forces collected there, will, I am
certain, be no easy accomplishment.?

To-night there is to be a meeting

their names in favor of it. The proceedings

"private executions," &.c, turn out to be
fables. The Montreal Courier of the 20th
