Arrival al Hakodarti of the British Steam Frigates Encoun- ter, Styz, and Tartar, from the North—Burning of Pe- troparlowekt and Shipping—Caging the Russizn Cub— Flight of the Doubleheuded Kagle—Chagrin of the Allied the Pacificand East India Squadrons—Loss of the French Steam Prigate Colbert, e., dc. Ihave just time, before the departure of the vessel which sails hence for the United \Siates this evening, to give youa hasty sketch of affairs as they exist in these wa- ters. The British steam frigates Encounter and Styx, with the Tartar in tow, entered this harbor at 12 M. to- day--the first from Petropolowski, and the two latter from Gastze, in the Gulf of Tartary. In order that you may easily comprehend and readily appreciate affairs, I would state that the Russians, immediately after their victory at Petropolowski last fall, went vigorously at work forming new batteries and fortifyfng the barbor for ano- ther attack this spring. On the 17th of March orders were received by the Go- vernor ‘from Petersburg”? to evacuate the place. The guns were dug out of the enow, and transported over the ice to the ships. A channel was sawed through the ice for the egress of ‘the vessels, and on the 16th of April most of the inhabi- tants embarked, when the frigate Aurora, a corvette, the Owina “armed transport,” a ship, a bark and a brig, put to sea. On the Qst inst. the steamer Baracuta arrived in this port from the Galf of Tartary, with the intelligence that they had found the Russian fleet in the Bay of Castre. ‘The steamer Tan close in, when her crew gave three cheers and fired. a gun, which was answered with three times three, and a shell fired into the air from@he frigate Aurora, Two frigates belonging to the East India squad- ron were left to blockade the port during the absence of the steamer, which came down to communicate the gind tidings to the remainder of the fleet. The Baracuta com- municated with the Saracen (surveying ship), then in port, and immediaiely left the harbor. A few days sub- sequently tho British steamers Styx and Tartar, trigates Winchester (flag #lup), Spartan, Constantine and Sybyl, came into the Miraite, communicated with the Saracen, and left without comidg tv anchor. : ‘Yo-duy, by the arrival of the Tartar from Castre, we Iearn that on the arrival of the fleet off that port « Lively scene waa presented. Preparations were made for decisive action, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the fleet. Both officers and men were de- termined to remove the dark stain which the bright esoutcheon of their nuyy received by the inglorio: aiair of Petropolowski last year. They had the eub caged, acd sll were vanguine about their success. Tue order of attack was arranged, when a steamer was sent close {n to reconnoitre, and their divappointment may be bet- ter imagiued than described when thes found the dou- bie beaded eagle had flown, and neither ships nor Rus- sians could be found. The allies, however, captured a daguerreotype Wkeneas, 9 quantity o small stores, and art ot a lady's wardrobe, which had been lett by the usrisns in’ their hurried departure, as they availed them-elvcs of a thick fog to slip out, and completely fogged the allies, y the Focounter, from Fetropolowski, we learn that the Pacificaquadron appeared. off that port on or about the 20th ult., and: found the place deserted ; there was, however, one vessel in port, the Ajax, belonging to the Russian Company, which was firet by her crew and do- serted. She waa boarded by the enemy, but too late to extingui-h the fire. The town was set on fire when the Acet came out, ‘The French steam frigate Colbert was lost a few weeks since at Nangasaki. When gettin; undermeigh she struck ona reef in the harbor, which so badly injured her that in few hours she filled and sottled on the reef, where she will probably be abandoned. ‘The English surveying ship Saracen has been here some time. Her presence, and the cireumstances con- nected with her movements here at this particular pe- riod, would indicate a most liberal construction of her car’? Lianche orders for making sdlentific researches. It is admitted by her officers that they are stationed here for the purpoxe of communicating with, and facilitatio, the operations of, the fleet in the north. The arrival and sudden departure of several vessels within a few days corroborates their atatement. Yesterday the Sara- cen put to.sea, and left an officer and three men in port. Does she dot violate the principle of neutrality to be ob- served by surveying chips, which, ‘through the cour- tesy of nations,” secures them against capture by an enemy Our Madrid Correspondence.

OUR NORFOLK CORRESPONDENCE. Norvouic, Oct. 11, 1855. There was only a alight appearance of frost this morning, the weather having moderated considerably after 9 o'clock yesterday, and continued rather warm until late in the evening; however, we have a fine clear day, and returning health and activity appear to be taking the place of the late pestilence. We scarcely now hear of death or sickness, Any are recovering who have suffered very severely. {ahabitents geuscally have not returned, but every preparation ia making for their reception, and we are in hopes by the 1st of Novem- ber they will mostly be in thelr places attending to. their ordinary business. As yet the greatest improvement is the increase of the daily markets, which are now pretty well supplied, particularly with fish, spots and trout of the finest quality, and quite reasonable prices; various other kinds also in prime order. NORFOLK, Oct. 12, 1855. ‘The Wandering Jew is dead. This morning the body of Mr. Noah Stall, commonly known among us as the “Wandering Jew,” was found in his house, seated on bis sofa; but the vital spark had fled—in the deep, dark night, the angelof death had entered his room, and bis withering glance had sent the spirit of the victim af- frighted to its long home, On the night of the 8th, a colored man residing in the rear of Mr. Stall’s house, saw him walking his room until a late hour, apparently (n good health; the next morning the sun arose in a cloud- less sky, throwing his bright rays far and wide, but the wanderer came not forth, as was his wont, to meet them; the neighbors wondered what had become of him, the day passed, another sun arose, but he was still in his position of the day before. The man before alludéd to became alarmed, and with a gentleman proceeded to en- ter the house, and truly the lone Israelite was sleeping, but ’twas the sleep that knows no waking—he was dead. And in a lage house, with himself the only occupant, his family being North—his body bore unmistakeable signs of his strugglo with the prevailing epedemic. This is one of the shortest cases on record, A few hours be- fore he was among us Apparentiy in good health. A number of very handsome mourning 3 have been received ty the Howard Association trom the ladies of Baltimore, and are now being worn by the members. Norfolk can never forget the kindness of her sister cities in her dark day. Balflmore has a claim upon ua we can only repay by our feelings of gratitude. I am deeply pained to learn that Dr. Cambell and the venerable ond well known editor of the Norfolk Herald, Mr. T. G. Broughton, are quite sick with the fever—both new cases. To illustrate the ¢anger of returning too soon, two gentlemen came a few days since from Richmond, where they had been stopping, and onthe day after their arri- yal were taken down, They are now very low. Their names are John and Jumes le. Four young men pitched # tent nearly opposite the Rip Raps. One day, however, they determined to return for an hour, thinking that the fever having abated sufficiently to warrant it; they came, but nevec returned to their tent; four new made graves tell the sad tale of their rash- ness. Wishing to give a true and reliable piece of infor- mation to our absent citizens about returning, I to a physician who has rendered himself eminent ng usas.a medical man by bis success in treating the fever: Dr. R. Friedeman informed me that persons who have beon living in places where the billions and intermittent fever prevails, may return in a week with perfect safety, but those who have been living in high or healthy places cannot return for some weeks yet. Burglars are thick among us. Several houses have been opened of late and rifled of their valuable conteats. In one instance the house of Mr. Wm. James was robbed, and even the carpet on the parlor floor did not escape. Last vening an attempt was made to fire the potas known as Walter’s City Hotel, but which had been uss ag an infirmary by the Howard Association, A lango pile of mattresses had been placed in an open room in the western wing of the building, among a large number of cofiins; in # room adjoining was another lot of coffins, and » quantity of hay; avove the room where the at- tempt was made was a room filled with bedding and other combustible matter, so that had the fire had any head- way the destruction of the argent bailding in our cit; would have been inevitable, there being a strong win blowing at the time from the ‘north. pplly dis- covered in time. lam bappy to inform your readers to-day that after a severe and lingering illness Dr. Wright is convalescent. Several new cases of fever have been reported in Trinity street. The following, as nearly as I can ascertain, are all who have died with the fever since my last:—Noah Stall, Jerome Dozier, and H. Hozier. The weather yesterday was quite warm, the thermo- meter being at 78. To-day, however, it is quite cool again. THE BEN FRNKLIN AND THE YELLOW FEVER AT NORFORLK AND PORTSMOUTH. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘Vara Carvz, Sept.21, 1855. From the reiterated statements in the public press of the United States, the impression has been made that the awful mortality at Norfolk and Portsmouth is trace- able to the steansship Ben Franklin, which arrived at the latter port from St. Thomas early in June. As such an impression is calculated to mislead and baffle ecientific research as to the true origin of the plague now desolating those cities, suffer me to disabuse the public mind by stating a few facts. ‘The Ben Franklin left St. Thomas for New York on the 27th of May, with thirty-three passengers—men, women and children—most of them unacclimated persons, The second or third day out several of the crew and firemen were on the sick list, but whether frow ram, fatigue, or malingering (commonly called ‘‘sogering’’) 1 shali not pretend to say. Certain it is, there were no cases of yellow fever aziong them, and the writer has, he thinks, a enough of that disease to recognise it when ex. isting. On the fifth or sixth day, one of the men (who had been up and about the day before) died suddenly, and without having exhibited the least symptom of yellow fever. Tattributed his death to some organic fanctional derangement, most probably of the bowels, for neither purgatives or enema/a had hind any effect upon him. ‘The tenth day out we put into Hampton Ronda, in distress, having for the preceding two or three days made scarcely nny progress, the ship leaking badly, and the engine aimont entirely ** broken down.’? At the ver time o' gettin in, the only other death ocourred—tha' ot one of the firemen, who had been at his daty the da; before. Could hix have been a case of yellow fever? think not. We had not anchored when the boat from Norfolk to Baltimore came in hail, and with a single exception every seenger was transferred, bag and by + on board of er, and found themselves safe and sound in Baltimore next morning. I have cither seen or heard from every one of those passengers, and that one left on board since then, and not one of them has had the slightest symptoms of yellow fever. Now, when we bear in mind that the cabin of the Ben Franklin is below deck, and that it had constantly open communication with the hold, and that the delicate tea-sick women and children were shut up there most of the time, and that the male passengers were two d: and siete constantly at the pum ing withal o class Tt was 6 ‘ruges consumere nati, and not “ drawers of water,” except for the nonce, is it mot passing strange none of us suffered from the pestilence with which, according to the newspapers, the vessel was reeking? Moreover, the Ben Franklin had positively no cargo, except coal and cannon—none of which did she discharge. The ‘ breaking bulk,” so much harped upon, could relate only to a few heavy articles of passengers’ luggage, left on board, but which were stowed under an open hatchway. My impresston is, Mr. Editor, that the Ben Frank- lin is more sinned’ against than sinning. I believe she caught the infection at Gosport instead of taking it there. Severe) men-of-war ano other vessels had arrived in those waters a short time previously, all teeming with yellow fever. , then, make this’ most unfortunate of ves- sele—you have heard and will hear more of her history— the seape-goat for the sina of others? ‘We have been reproached for leaving the veasel so un- ceremoniously the moment we got abreast of Old Point Comfort, and without waiting for the visits of medical or Custom House officers. To that I would aay, even to rats is accorded the innocent privilege of quitting sink! ship when they can. We had nothing to smuggle, rr knew there was no yellow fever on board. This was the second time I had left a vessel, under similar circum- stances and with equally little ceremony, at Hampton Roads, and without ever hearing of quarantine or Custom fouse. I desire this to be published, to vindicate myself, the officers of the ship and fellow-passengers, from the im- plied charge of a culpable recklessness, which, if merited, could not but—in view of its awful consequences—distard: the conscience of a fiend. Iam anxious, too, that the medical faculty, im their noble labors and investigations as to the cause of the direful calamity, ma: a |. T, PICKETT. Brooklyn City Politics.

The Powder Explosion at Gorham, Me.—Six Men Killed and Three Injured. {From the Portland Argus, Oct. 13.} A rumor having reached us yesterday that two powder houses had exploded in Gorham, about ten miles from this city, causing great loss of life, we immediately de- spatched a reporter to the place to obtain the melancholy particulars. It appears that there were two near the canal at Gorham, owned by Mr. Oliver Whipple, of Lowell, Mass. Yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock, as some men were loading a canal boat with powder, the stores and the der in the canal boat (100 kegs) ex- ploded, killing six men ond wounding another fatally. Those killed were :— migare® 0. Whipple, son of the proprietor—he had no ly. Edwin C. Hardy, of Raymond. Franklin Hawkes, of Windham. Jobn Swett, of Gorbam. All the above were in ihe press house at the time. Samuel Phinney, of Gorham, — Robinson, of Lowell, in the canal boat, and'with the others above named, were killed instantly. James Whipple, of Lowell, was alo in the canal boat, and was so badly hurt as not expected to live till this morning. Samuel Libby, badly hurt, but will recover. He was ie load the powder. ries Whipple, son of James, about ten years old, was hurt internally, but not badly. The press house had three hundred kegs of powder, and a quantity loose. The wheel house, as it is called, about four rods from the other, had a Tile quantity, Phinney, after the explosion, walked several rods, un- wl he ‘aman who spoke to him, and he instantly fell ead. Swett was thrown nearly a quarter of a mile. Hawkes had his bowels ‘blown out, and one side of his head blown off. A cart to which a yoke of oxen were attached, was shattered to fragments, and the hair was burned off the oxen almost entirely. A buggy wagon was also blown to pieces, and the horse driven like a wedge, into « pile of rT. 4 The fragments of the buildings were thrown by the vio- lence of the explosion, up a hill a quarter of a mile dis. tant, ining its sides with the timbers, which seemed to have plow their way up through the soil where they first q A lates portion of the wharf was demolished, and a large of timber, some two feet in thickness, lying upon it, was broken in pieces like a pipe-stem, ¢ smoke went straight up, instead of spreading itself, and hung immediately over the spot, adense, black, fane” ral pall, for some two hours, It is not known certainly how the terrible calamity ov. curred, Aman who left the press house but two mi. nutes before the explosion, says that the workinca were rimming a cast iron = to sink some bolt heads, and it is supposed the ignition was caused by friction. Great excitement prevailed in this section on the arri- val of the terrible news, and numbers immediately re. paired to the place of disaster. Several of the above un. jortunate men, who were so suddenly deprived of life, left wives and children to mourn their departure, Col, French and the Division Board.

ALDERMAN BRIGGS’ MANIFESTO TO THE PUBLIC OF NEW YORK. Mr. Matsell audaciously cliugs to his official post, al- though convicted of alienism by thirty-three affidavits of thoee residing on the two great continents of the earth—- ba Cotes Register, and by the records of the Ame. ican courts. He swoe the reverse of all this, before this incontrovertible a) against him, but now r before Police Committee, lest he might be compelled to re-swear it. Nor will he permit his kindred and his sister Mary to appear before the Com- mittee, but guards their habitations with wea- pons, and threatens all with instant death who cnter with subpoenas from such a man as David Valentine, the Clerk of the Common Council. During the investigation of se- ven months past Thave had much difficulty in obteining a anarars of the Committee, for causes beyond my com- prehension. : Alderman Hoffmire, of the Fifth ward, during the few sessions, he attended, grossly abused me,’ and strove to embarras me in every way. I have had an inkstand thrown at with great violence at my head, in open s¢: sion of the Board of Aldermen, and there was not an Am: rican alderman out of the fourteen American aldermen pre- sent, who uplifted his voice in resistance of the mon- atrous outrage. I have been attacked in broad day by one hundred ruffians, who strove to murder me in a room ad joining the Mayor’s and Matsell’s office, the latter’s office ving apparently been deserted by a preconcerted ar- ment, 80 that I couldn’t have otection of the police, And all the Board of rmen assembled in 40 minutes afterwards, no member publicly uttered a word against the attempted assassination, On Thursday evening last, a ber fpr ber anathematized me in debate, and declared that I should be severely cowhided, because I alluded to the probable alienism of Richard B, Connelly, th present County Clerk, which Mr. C. has not denied by affidavit or otherwise, although he has had several days to do it in! Duri of Thursday evening, no member roposition I introduced for the removal of Mr. Matscll, But'rearly allgvoted to lay it on the table.” During the police investigation of seven months, not a dollar has been appropriated by the Common Council, and my- self and Stephen H. Bran:h have breasted the battle, and defrayed the oe ourselves to the present moment. the Board of Alder: We canvassed en for pecuniary aid, bie Aaa but we ol Stoo, and collected nine d , with the romise of $4, if desired, from Alderman Thomas fas of the Sixteenth ward, whom the Americans should profoundly cherish as a ‘noble and magnanimous American, who was born and reared in the sacred atmos- phere of Bunker Hill. This is about all the pecuniary aid Mr. Branch and myself have received during our pro- tracted and terrible struggle against derison and peril, for proving that the city of New York is governed by a British alien, who also ‘exercises a powerful away at Al- bany and Washington, through his control of the primary and legal bodies of this city, executive, legislative and judicial, and who, with bis chief oferk, has thwarted the committes before the judiciary for seven months past, and will probably do so as long as he re- mains in his present powerful position, In the Board of Aldermen he is also omnipotent, be- fore whom the American Aldermen stand ia perfect terror. Although he i reeking with perjury—with affidavits, the ister and the Court records of the City Hall before them, which have been pub- lished to the world a hundred times, in newspapers whose aggregate circulation is 200,000 or 300,000 copies per day, Witlon! aie taplabie siz ueniip ontia’ eatt of Mateell that he is am alien—with Matsell posted a5 an alien on the lamp posts and house tops. amd on the Kps oflittle children, and admitting his alienism themselves —with all this around them and withtn them, and staring them deadly in the face, still the American Aldermen, with American censtitugnts yearning for their deliver- ance from the accursed fangs of Matsell—with all this thundering in their ears, bates in their affrighted dreams, and biting the residue of their consciences, and rankling in their hearts, still they dare not breathe be- yond a whisper against the alien and British despot of our city, if not of our country. And why do they fear him? “Because he has, through legislative legerdemain, elected himself for life—because they fear he can destroy their political existence—because the legion votes of the foreign'wards of our city are canvassed to suit the behesta of Matsell—because afier the results of the American wards are declared, the votes of the foreign wards are counted, and the final result falsely declared—and the minions of Matsell are thus elected from year to yean, and will be while he is Chief ot Police—because these foreign wards, through Matsell, rule this city, and this State, and this nation. For more than one man has been elected, and more than one man has been de- feated for the Presidency by 2,000 or 3,000 foreign votes of this city, falsely counted, by the gangs of Matsell. Moreover, these American aldermen know that the im- poverished foreign wards of this city are chiefly support- ed by soup and raiment in winter by the industrious and virtuous American classes; that they are the chief ocen- pants of our almshouees and prisons, whose support bears so heavily on the Americans. And they know that the inbabitants of these foreign wards should be contented with at least one vote per head, (ies the Americans,) instead of which some aliens and foreigners not only vote a dozen timer, and if the American wards are not overwhelmed then, the poll books of the wards, in mid- night hours, are alt by alien and to inspectors and policemen, and the Americans, while asleep, are thus defrauded of their dearest rights. ‘Aud the American al- dermen know that American ballot boxes are not per- mitted to exist for a moment in the worst foreign wards ofthe city, and that Americans vote for Americans in foreign wards at the yeril of their lives. A beautiful stato of things in an American country, and in the lead- ing American city, and beneath American skies, and with- in @ stone’s throw of the City Hall, and within 400 miles of the tomb of the immortal Washington. In the teeth of ail this, Matsell the chief source of all the evil, remains at his post, and these American aldermen remain quiet, although Matsell has voted aud ruled us for nearly a quarter ofa century. In vain have I told these Ame- rican aldermen that they have the power to remove him. Kemove him, did 1 say? Remove whom! Re- move an alien? How can an alien be removed when the nations! and State constitutions do not recognise the ee te or hardly the social, existence of an alien? low, then, can American office be occupied by an alien’ By perjwy. But what is the penalty of perjury? A dungeon, and the eternal deprivation of civil rights, Why, then, do these American Aldermen hesitate to de- clare an office vacant that is already vacant by the na- tional and State constitutions, and by alientsm and per- jury? Because they want m: a and its evidence, is their responses. Yes, and Matsell wants it, too. And the Judges want it. “Amd the aliens all want it, and with it they all want the committee forever discharged. And why do they want it so much? They want official evidence, say they. Let them consult the Common Pleas Court records in the adjoining room. Let them consult the records of Brandon, now im my possession. Let them consult the affidavits. ‘Let them recur to what nearly all ot them have heard before the committee. them overbsul their newsparer files. Let them look at the journal of the Board of Aldermen. Let them consult each other. Let them examine the golumns of the Sun- day Leader, conducted by the brother-in-law of Mateell, and compare views on the alienism of Mateell. Let them ask Matsell himself, and watch his guilty eyes. Let them go over to Williamsburg and see “his sister Mary, and the frenzied eyes of her body guard, and the gleam of their weapons. Let them consult her neighbors, Let » bright clean giass redect thelr own eyes, and their own consciences and their own hearts. And’ if this be not enough, let them ask the first little child they meet, or even consult their own children, as to the guilt of Matsell, of one of tho highest erimes un- der the laws of our country, or of any country in the civilized world. Yes. But instead all this glaring and official and historical evidence, they still want my report, to lay it-on or under the table, where it may slumber forever, or until the present excitement passes away, or until the election passes over, and as soon as they get my report, they intend, of course, to discharge the committee, and thus save the four contumacious alien witnesses before the courts, for their insolence to the very committee appointed by these American Aldermen themeelves; and to render the first contu- macious itive enactment ever adopted, a per- fect nullity; and to then burn up the subpenas, and let bad men hereafter treat municipal committees with profane and obscene contumely, aa these official and audacious witnesses have done for seven months past, who are fed and clothed by the people, and m return, thus spurn and outrage the sacred rt, sign to the tomb of the Capulets, to let the Prince Criminals roam at large, to let crime run riot our streets and courts, and to desecrate the glorious temple of freedom, consecrated to us by our illustrious fathers, But this is the first case of contumacy under the legislative law of last winter, and a precedent shall be established that all, and eape- cially aliens, shall not trample our laws in the dust with impunity. And paralyzed be the American Alderman who strives to thwart me in my efforts to sustain the laws, and to make these four aliens answer, and cease their monstrous obscenity and profanity to those en- trusted with the execution of a public investigation into the alienism and rascality of the Police department. And I will never surrender the rights of the committee, and with it the rights of the people, Let all the J of the Court of Common Pleas screen the Lag bing a already, (with the exception of Judge Daly,) and let them settle their accounts with their constituents and their God, but I will never release my clutches Mackellar, McCann, and Webster, until I ha {be violated honor of the city, and until contumacious jsintive enactment has umphantly sustained. Yes, these American Aldermen want more light, and more evidence, and my Feport, when soos evidence has been officially adduct to convict a hundred aliens of the ordinary grade— evidence enough to ee hundred murderers.

JOHN H. BRIGGS. New Yous city, Oct. 18, 1855, Arrival of the CreseentgCity. The Crescent City, Capt. McGowan, arrived last night from New Orleans, by the way of Havana. She sailed from the latter place on the 8th inst. It will be recollected that it was Capt. McGowan, of the Crescent City, who ran away from Quarantine, and explained the matter on his arrival at New Orleans, We suppose the authorities will have him arrested to-day. ‘The following deaths oceurred on board the Crescent City:— On the outward passage, Sept. 21, of apoplexy, William Souler, foeal passer. On homeward passage, Oct. 10, of inflammation of the throat, Eugene McCarty, seaman, aged 18; buried at nea. Marine Affairs. Launched at Greenport, L. I., on the 13th inst., by a Silas BE. Hand, a clipper schooner of 200 tons, of beautiful model and excellent workmanship, called the Charles B. Knudsen, owned by Messrs. Dodge & Co., of thia city, and others, intended for the Gulf trade, and will be command- ed by Capt. Wm. H. Squires, Fair of the American Institute. ‘The Crystal Palace was well filled during the past week with visiters, and the receipts thus far have been most encouraging to the managers and friends of the American Institute. The Fair exhibits signa of marked improve- ment, and those who witnessed it a week ago would be surprised at the change it now presents, compared with its condition then. The statuary has been re-arranged, and with the beautiful display of fruits and flowers under the centrai dome, affords a magnificent coup dail to the spectator. It is not the scene, however, but the excellent inventiors on exhibition that are of the greatest interest. In this respect the present Fair exceeds any of its prede- cessors in the extent, varfety and ingenuity of the goods on exhibition; and to the mechanic, the inventor and the student, the show must be at once attractive and popular. Among the machines is one for the manufacture of Stockings that excites mo ltttle interest, especially among the old ladies, who look upon this inven, tion with a mixture of curiosity and disdain, fully satisfied that the cld way of hand knitting, after all, is the best. An alarm bed, as it is ‘called, which, being wound up like afclock, will, at acertain hout in the morning, throw the sluggish sleeper on the floor, is also much noticed. Anew recording dynemometer, or measurer of the force of steam, attracts considerable at- tention from engineers and steam engine projectors. ‘There is a \ aw Say. of soap and ae ere well worthy of notice, and which we commend to the attention of those who do not look as clean and smell as sweet as they might or should. Fire engines fill a large sj the Palace, and are much admired. Amity Hse 33 id the Phanix Hose, from Easton, Penn., look very well. ‘The machinery department, however, fs of the most in- trinsic interest. cotton machine is on exhibition, from Lowell. The great perfection in iron and steel works of our countrymen is remarkably exemplified by the works on exhibition at the Palace. ‘Among other thinga to be scen is a complete working model of the three engines of the immense ship Niagara. The parts of the engines there explained aro, the engine frames with slides; cylinders with main steam valve and cut off valve chests; main slide valves and cut off valves and bonnets, piston rods, cross head connecting rod, crank shaft, main valve, eccentrics, with Tock shaft and link motion, cut off eccentric, force pump and air pump rods, condenser, exhaust pipe, complete, and moveable by a crank on the end of crank shaft, so as to show the mo- tion of the engines when working in the ship. It ts worthy of notice that this is the only model that is yet made for any of the six frigates now bi under the last appropriation of Congress, and well worthy the at- tention of scientific men. The Fair will continue open until the Ist of November. Our Iowa Correspondence. Davenrort, Iowa, Ost. 7, 1855.

Fort Arastrong, situated onthe western or lower end of Rock Island, in the Mississippi river, has beon for somo hours in flames, and ere the morrow’s dawn will doubt- less be a heap of smouldering ruins. As the buildings have long been tenantless, it has evidently been fired by rome Vandal who would see all memorials of the past obliterated from our view. Fort Armstrong was built by order of government, un- der the supervision of Lieut. Col. Davenport, (late of the United States Army, and now a resident of Philadel- ia,) in the year 1810. For upwards of twenty years {t was garrisoned by various portions of the infantry ‘and artillery under different well known and gallant commanders. The late President Taylor, when a Captain of infantry, was stationed here, and the memorable treaty between Black Hawk and Lieut. Gen. Scott, by which Iowa was ceded to the pale face, was held within range of its gums. Standing as it does upon the top ot the rocky islet, at the foot of the upper rapids, its deserted blockhouses and dismantled ramparts have ever presented a pictur- esqe appearance to the voyager as he ascended the ‘‘ Fa- ther ot Waters.” Your readers are doubtless aware that the Mississippi in being bridged at thia point. The work is steadily pro- gressing; all ay? omy are up but one. vis 30 the re- cent rise in the river this last is re og rather slowly, but as the water is receding at the rate af nine inches per day, it is expected that in a very few weeks the ma- sonry will be finished and the superstrueture commenced. The portion over the sou channel or slough has been completed some months, and it is hored that the northern portion will be ready for the passage of trains by the Int of February, or sooner. The masonry of the plers and abutments is of the heaviest character west of your Harlem aqueduct. The arches are of 275 foet span, and are six in number. The railroad west is going ahead at the rate of four miles per week. The road will be opened to Iowa City by December 10. ‘This 1s « continuation of the Chicago and Rock Island road which bas received such favorable no- tice through your columns. General John A. Dix is the Prenident, ‘and H. Farman, Faq.. Chief Engineer, both of whom are now here on a visit inspection. ‘The population of Davenport is daily increasing. From being a village of 1,200 inhabitants in 1849, i¢ is now a thriving eity of nearly, if not quite, 10,000.
