From Mktamqras.?Advices from Metanioras
have reached us as late as the
19th illst. The reported invasion of
Texas was unfounded. An expedi'ion
of one thousand soldier hud been gent
against the Cumanches, io punish them
for their robbe:ics and protect their frontier
settlements, which, doubtless gave
rise to the story of troops being sentagainst
Texas. On the obove dale, the
schooner Ctimauclie, landed with $150,000
in specie for our merchants, sailed from
Metainoras. Of the schooner liberty,
her crew and passengers nothing had been
heard. It is the general impression that
she is lo6t.
Diseases of the Lungs.?The ftosto'n

young persons. We were struck with
the evident tendency to inflamation of
the lungs in this region of country, years
ago, but had no just idea of the amount of
hereditary disease of those life preserving
organs, till we had lis'terrcd over and over
again to the melancholy details' of tliS patients,
how their grandfathers^ grandmothers,
fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters,
had been swept away by that scourge
oC New England, pulmonary consumption.
The fact is established, beyond all
contradiction, that children born of parents
whose lungs are tuberculous or ulcerated,
will, in a majority of case^f have
the same fearful malady.
Ingenious mode of removing coiiges'
tion of brain, without loosing blood,
and also to stop llvcmorrhagc.?Sir James
Murray has turned the dry cupping principle
(o a very ingenious account. He
presented an ingenious contrivance something
like the slipper bath, which had an
air pump for exhausting the air applied to
it. The patient was placed in it, and it
was then made oir tight, leaving him a
breathing communication with the external
atmosphere. The air was then exhausted
from the interior, and atmosphere
pressure removed from the surface of the
body. About a. pound of atmosphere^
being exhausted, took off a tun of atmosphere
pressure. The consequence was,
where the body was before cold and colapsed,
the vessels were immediately
filled up and rendered turgid, while it did
not at all interfere with the process ol
respiration.
lie exhibited another application of
the same contrivance of a long tin .tube
made air tight, and with a piece of wet
bladder round one end, which was open;
ut the other end, which was closed up, a
small exhausting oir pump was placed.?
A patient with a paral) tic wrist, put his
arm into this: the wet bladder was tisrhl
fined a roil nil his arm at the top to make
it air tight, and the atmosphere was then
pumped out of the tube by the patient
himself or any other person. The atmosphere
pressure being taken off, the
limb became turgid, tho circulation was
increased, and llio part affected wus soon
cured.
There \yn-< another adaption of the
same contrivance to draw off the effect of
congestion of the brain. There was ano-1
tber application to stop hcemorrhage in
an* injured hand, llrab, or other extremity.]
An exhausting pump was fixed to the end
of a bladder, the limb put into the blad?
der, and the neck then tied around to
make it air tight. The air wgs then completely
exhausted by means of the pn/rip,
which compressed the bladder so close to
the skin as effectually to stop even the
pores of the skin. The same contrivaiv**
?r _ ui.jjIL ? ? -
vi uiauaer onu exnausiing pump was
also applied fer the cure of uTcerrted legs,
by preventing the evaporation of the ulcers,
by exhausting the air, and making
1 the collapsed bladder adhere tightly all
I round. There were several other ingenious
contrivances and applications of the
time invention, the exhibition of which,
and the inventor's happy humor* elicited
loud applAusa.
A vote 6f thanks was given to Sir
James Murray. For the very valuable instruction

I'EnuviAV a NTIQ.V1TIES.?Discoveries
are making, almost every day, particularly
upon the South American part of our
continent; which go to prove that in possession
of relics of departed and unknown
generations, we are not so far behind the
inhabitants of what is called the Old World,
as is generally supposed. From what
little is known of the antiquities of this
country, it is but reasonable to supposethat
others will in time be found, which
will vie with the most mdgnificent and
extraordinary of the eastern hemisphere,
and prove the connexion which existed
between the New and Old Worlds, long
anterior to the time of Columbus, ^he
northern portion of South America is
known to be particularly rich in the remains
of a great, powerful, and civilized
people; and yet, and yet, that with which
we are acquainted, as compared with

be discovered, is almost as nothing. The
remains of populous cities and of curious
works of art, which have been revealed
to so slight an examination, warrant the
belief that many astonishing things are
yet in store for the antiquarian and his
torian.
The Nantucket Inquirer notices' a recent
discovery which has been made upon the
coast ol Peru of a burled city. Some
singular ralics of this city were recently
brought to this country by capt. Benjamin
Ray, in the ship Logan, of New Bedford,
who, in his late voyage, stopped at Guarmcy,
in Truxillo, in which neighborhood
the discovery was made. > Captain R. visited
this qubterunedn city, of the exis
iuiiuc ui which, iiu iiuuiiuiii rcuiiiins.?
lie visited the site whore the excavations
were still in progress, and personally examined
such portions of the ruins us have
already been presented. The walls of
the edifices were still standing. Several
human bodies had been exhumed, and
many liousohold implements and other articles
of various descriptions brought to
liglit.
"The bodies were in a wounded slate
of preservati in* the hair, the nails and
integuments remaining entire as in life,'
and the muscular structure but little shrunk
though perfectly exsiccated?the effects,
possibly, of the nitrous.properlies of the;
Circumjacent soil. The position in which;
these mummies' were found, leaves no
doubt (hat the population, who are,sup-'
posed to have numbered some 30,600,
were overwhelmed,'in the midst of theiT'
ordinary occupation,-by some sudden and
terrible convusiono'f nature. The corpse
of a man was found in an erect attitude,,
amidst whose dress were sundry coins;
which were sent <o Lima, where it was;
decided* after minute inspection, that at
least 260 years must have transpired since
the occurrence ol the fatal catastrophe.
In one of the hiirieH K nncor nn Wi
"""
saw te body of a fem%le in a sitting
posture, wrapped ip a loose cotton robe,
who, when overtaken by the common calamity,
must have been engaged in wea*
ving , with the materials oi her vocation
in her hands and around her. A small
piece of cloth, p&Jtlg woven, was stretch*
ed belore her upon a sort of reed frame,
and in one hand she held o sharp thorn,
tight or ten inches in length, on which
was wound a qneatity'of fine cotton threat
of a lijjht brown color; parcels of col '
too ana worsted yarns of various col rs
were also lying near. Captain R. procured
the unfinished fabric, tho thorn an*
spindle,arul several sarrtples of the threads.
The finished jpor'tion of |he cloth is abou
eight inches Square, and apparently embraces
just one half of the originally intended
dimensions."
- Although it is probable that this subteranean
city is of no very great antiquity,

to this particular epoch which is generally devoted
by one agricultural community, to some pleasurable
recreation. The highest jprico now given for cho.co

Fire.?Our citizens were aroused on Monday
night lost, between the hours of 2 aud 3 o'ciook, by
the ringing of the Bells and the cry of Fire, which
was found to havo originated in the back room cf
Mr. James Conner's store, and occupied by him as a
bcd-chainber. By the energetic exertions of tho firemen,
the flomos wore arrested befo.o any further injury
was done, than the mere burning of a fow bedclothes
and tho evaporation of a few quarts of -'blue
blazes," which, fom some unknown cause, hud inundeted
the apartmont, filling it with a solid blaze and
causing tho unfortunate tenant, Silatnander like
to sally forth unsheathed from his burning bed.

were collected in a basket; one toasponful of the
seeds was shaken into the basket with them: tlii?

produced a perspiration, among the particles, and
"roused up a healthy action" in the basket; the basket
in 15 minutes, vomited out tho man in one entire
mass, and he stood on his legs; the third toaspoonful
restored him to consciousness and motion, and a cup
of composition toa enabled him to talk, lie lias been

Late from Jamaica.?Files of Kingston papers

Loss of tiie Steamboats Black Hawk and Vices,
burg.?The Black Hawk, Capt. Taylor, left Niitchez
on tho 27th ult. for Nacbitoches, with a full load of
passengers, horses, and freight, including $90,000
in specie, owned by the United Statos. That night
while in the Mississippi, a short distance above the
mouth of Red Rivor, she burst her boilers, which
blew off all her upper works forward of the wheels,
and her Pilot and Engineer wore instantly killed.?
Several others are supposed to be lost, the comet
number cannot be ascertained, four or five were
severely, and solmo of them mortally wounded, others'
recoived slight bftiisos. The larger portion of her
passengers were, by the timely aid of a flat boat,
conveyed to shoro. About $75,000 of the specie and
the greater part of the cargo were saved in the same
manner. Seven of the horses pesished by the acci.

The Vioksburg, Capt. A. Auter, left Vicksburg on
the evening of the 26th alt., for New Orleans. At
half past fbtir on the morhihg of the 29th, wlion about
twelve miles below Baton Rouge, (having only ton
minutes before that landed on aooount of a fog,)
fire was disooxered in the ootton adjoining her boilers;
and in twenty minutes' time the whole boat and oar.
go were completely invelopmd in flames. Fortuj
nately, (the boat having landed,) every seal on board
escaped without iiyory to their persons, and with u
very trifling lose of their property, while the vessel
and cargo (with the aieaption of seven bales of ?otton)
were in six or seven hours burped to the waters'

All of the cargo, and that shipped by .the Banks in

the places where it was shipped. The vessel, estimated
at $35,000, was only insured for $20,000?of
