A Singular Historical Fact.—
New York Express brings to light a
gukr historical fact, which is notgeneri
known. It says that, in 1817, a Rus:
of eminence, M. Pozzo de Borgo, b
then in Paris, proposed in a memoir
dressed to his court on the importan
replacing South America under the
minion of Spain, that the United S
should be subjugated. He said
' founded on the sovereignty of the pele,
the republic of the United States of Afr-
ica was a fire, of which the daily coJct
of Europe threatened the latter with
thuL an tin nnrlnm for all
vatorsTif^iyethein the means of ai¡
nating at a distance, by their writings, and
bv the authority of their example, apoisen
gae that the conquest of the United States
was an easy enterprise; that the degree of
power to which the Americans had arisen,
made them objects of fear to the Europeau
monarchical governments, &e. The editor
of the Express came Tn contact with this
curious paper iu the State library at Alba-
ny, in an old file of the Missouri Republi-
can, printed more than thirty years ago.
Escape of Tilomas Francis Meagher.
The Dublin N^ion annoiuiCfis^tliA-GS-
eape -oF*i"hoinas F. Meagher, th(T-ycrcure
and eloquent * Irish tribune, who, with
O'Brien and his othef compatriots, was
condemned to imprisonment for life in the
penal colony of Van Dieman's Land, for
the efforts he made to revolutionize his
country in 1848--efforts which failed of
success from the want of an organized sup-
port from the people, but which, although
signally unsuccessful, were not the less
patriotic. We trust the report of his es-
cape may prove true, although we enter-
tain doubts of its authenticity. If such
an event had occurred early iu January,
we think the news would have reached
here before this. Our hopes are, however,
that it may prove to be correct.—Delta.
[From the Dublin Nation.]
Thomas F. Meagher has Escaped.
The noble and most gifted of our Confes-
sors has broken his chains, and is now a
freeman of the world.
Thank God. Thank God for this de-
liverance. A new hope is given to liberty
—a glorious advocate is restored to Ire-
land.
We have but meagre details to disclose
in order to satisfy the impatience of the
country to hear of this fortunate story
Here is the whole narrative :
One of the most estimable and inde-
pendent of our citizens, (whose uamo we
have permission to make known to Mea
gher's friends,) has communicated to us
tho joyful intelligence. He has received
a letter from his brother-in-law, an assist-
ant surgeon in the British navy, written
from Hobert Town, and bearing date the
18th of last January, which states that
Mafcghev had escaped, and that the Gov-
ernment officials had searched the house
in vain. He had fled beyond capture and
pursuit. The bloodhounds were after him,
but had missed their prey. Here are the
exact words:
Her Majesty's ship , Hobert Town, \
18th January, 1852. J
"Meagher has made his escape from tais.
Some say he has broken his parole, others say
not. He wrote to the police magistrate of his
district, to say that he did not wish his leave ex-
tended. Some say he left before the letter was
deltvered, others say he did not, but that he re-
mained until a person who was sent to watch
him came to his house, lie came out aad
asked the man whether he wanted to see him.
He said " no." He then went into the house
and escaped through the back way. In two
houis after some more police came to arrest
him. But the bird had flown, and so the case
stands."
There is not a heart in the country but
what will thrill at this news. There is
not a generous man throughout the world
who will not rejoice to hear that so gal-
lant a spirit is rescued from punishment
and ignominy. For his noble genius and
nobler nature have been passports to uni-
versal fame and admiration.
The Nation contains a long article in
connection with the subject.
Mammoth Remains —The tusk, a tooth
and a portion of the leg bone of a huge
:ammál was recently discovered embedded
in the sand at Hidalgo Falls, by some
gentleman on a fishing excursion, yester-
day. Dr. J. N. Legrand, accompanied
.by several gentlemen, succeeded in raising
the tusk and other bor.es, and bringing
them down the river. The tusk is ten feet
long, and measures at its greatest circum-
ference. twenty-three inchcs. It was un-
fortunately broken and partly shattered in
raising, and consequently, loses much of
its interest, but eveu in its present condi-
tion. it is the liugest looking specimen of
a tooth we have ever seen or read of. The
tusk, like the other bones, are in a partial
state of petrifaction, and will, no doubt,
when exposed to the air a while, become
quite hard. A jawbone, supposed to
belong to the same animal, was seen,
frequently, by different, persons near
the same place, several years ago.
but the successive overflows of the
river has so changed the channel, that it
is now supposed to bo about the middle
of the river.—Lone Star.
tPcxTro étv iu^uxiruoruiiin-ry
scene Occurred lately at the church of St.
Roch, at Paris. A crowded congregation
was drawn by the announcement of a ser-
mon from the celebrated pulpit orator.
Mr. Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans. An-
other prelate, the bishop of Autin, about
to officiate at the main altar, was solemn-
ly approaching, folowed by 6omc of the
clergy, when a well-dressed man pushei
through the throng, slapped the cheeks of
the prelate, snatched his callóte or halfcap
from the crown of the head, and then per-
formed the same foats with the Vicar-Gen-
eral, immediately behind. Judge of the
astonishment of the clerical proccssion and
the bystauders! The Bishop thus han-
hled, betrayed no emotion of anger, but pro-
ceeded sedately to the alter. The Vicar-
General waga little moved; his nature is
known to be so meek and benign, that the
keenest indignation became general at his
treatment. The transgressor was quick-
ly consigned to police officers. It is sta-
ted that, on examination at the Prefecture,
he was found to be insane.
Crops on the Navidad.—By a letter
from a friend in Oakland settlement, on
the upper Navidad, we learn the crops
thereabouts are very promising, and it is
thought there will be a fine yield. That
is a fine section, filled up by farmers of
the right stripe, who mind their own busi-
ness, work industriously through the six
days of the week and go to church on the
seventh,—in short, a living example of
what a community, among civilized people,
ought to he.—Indianota Bulletin.
Remarkable Perfection of Instruments.
The chrouometers used in the Grinnel
Arctic expedition were subjected to the
severest tests, yet so exquisitely were
these delicately-constructed instruments
provided with adjustments and compensa-
tions for the great extremes of tempera-
ture, that one of them, after having been
exposed to a polar winter, is returned with
a change in its daily rate, during seven-
teen months, of only the three-hundredth
part of one second of time.—Ibid.
Want of Foresight.—Within the last
fifty years, a benevolent person offered to
the trustees of one of the Lutheran chur-
ches of New York city a present of about
six acres of land near Canal street and
Broadway. They passed a resolution that
it was inexpedient to accept the gift, inas
much as the land was not worth fencing
in." The land is now worth millions of
dollars.
A Curios Relic.—The Oneida Herald
gives the following clause from the will of
Lewis Morris, one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independency: " It will be
seen," remarks the Herald, u that the
worthy old patriot partook liberally of the
prejudices which existed among our old
Dutch fathers against the Yankee race."
"It is my desire, that my son, Gouveneur
Morris, may have the best education that
is to be had in England or America, but
my express will and directions are, that
he be never sent for that purpose to the
Connecticut Colonies, least he should im
bibe in his youth that low craft and cun-
ning so incident to the people of that
country, which is so interwoven in their
constitutions, that all their art cannot
hide it from the world, though many of
them, under the sanctified garb of re-
ligion, have endeavored to impose them-
selves on the world for honest men."
Nov. 23,1760. Lewis Morbis.
If all the money cast away for rum and
ruin in this country, in the last two years,
were accumulated, it would expel want
from every door; and leave a surplus suf-
ficient to pierce the clouds with a monu-
ment to Washington.
Improved Rijles.—The following para-
graph is from the Yankee Blade:
"Last week we quoted from an English
writer an account of a new and improved
ritie introduced into the French army. A
Hartford paper states that a Connecticut
man, Mr. Sharp, has invented a rifle, for
the manufacture of which a company has
been organized in that city. It is a breach
loading rifle, weighs Gi pounds, (tho
French rifle weighs 12 pounds, (will carry
a ball weighing about one onnee, with
fifty-five grains of powder, a distauce vary-
ing from one mile and a quarter to a mile
anda half.2200, or 2G00 yards, and such
is the force of the ball that at the distanoo
of 1500 or 2000 feet, it will penetrate
hemlock timber to the distance of five
inches; at the distance of half a mile, it
will hit a target of 30 iuchcs, 12 out Ot 15
times, if the aim be good, that is to Say.
It can be loaded and fired ten times per
miuutc, until at least fifty or sixty rounds
are discharged. This is accomplished by
means of Sharp's new lock, which is fillcja
with primes, aud which pass out as they
are needed An army of ten thousand
men could pour into the ranks of an ene-
my one hundred thousand tu ono
íuu at nna une tmtll the number
of primes are exhausted, which can bo re-
plenished almost instantly. This beats
the French rifle altogether out of sight.
Hard Knocks.—" The Galveston Jour*
nal says that Whig State Conventions aro
to be held; one at Tyler, on the £0th inst.,
one at Houston, ou the sixth proximo*
Arc the Whigs so numerous in Texas that
it takes two placcs to contain their dele*
gations % Or can thev arrive at harmon-
ious conclusions V'—Huntsville Item.
" Could the expeuses of the delegates (0
tho Whig Convention be paid out of tho
State Treasury, as in the case of those who
attended the rcccnt Democratic Conven-
tion at Austin, perhaps the Whige wonld
not miud traveling several hundred miles
to one Convention, iustead of having two
nearer home. The conclusions will uo
doubt be harmoneous, as tho people pro-
pose to be represented iu our Conventions
instead of the politicians. —r Galveston
Journal.
" If the original suggestion of tho Jour-
nal to hold the Whig Convention at Huuta* ^
ville had been carried out, probably a suffi-
cient number of Delegates for that purpose
might have been found whose traveling
expenses have been paid out of the Stats
Treasury.— Galveston Civilian.
The paucity of the party to be represen-
ted, and the elements of a convention so
eimple and few, and all this consternation
as to the pay is without ground. £t wont
hurt anybody.
Women and Newspapers.—The face-
tious editor of the Boston Republican is
warm in praise of his lady subscribers.
He says: Women are the best subscri-
bers in the world for newspapers, maga-
zines, etc. We have been editor no#
goiug on for eight years, and wo havo «
never yet lost a single dollar by female
subscribers. They seem to make it t '*
point of conscientious duty to pay the
preacher and the printer—two olassés of <
the community that safer more by bad \
pay, and no pay at all, than all tho rest j0? \
put together. Whenever we hare a. wo-
man's name on oar book, we know it it
just as good for two dollars and a half
as a picayune is for a ginger-cake." if ore-
over, he asserts that ladies read t|ifl news-
papers to which tbey subscribe, moro
thoroughly than men, and oonclndéV by '
declaring that " he would rather hsfve a
dosen of ladies úpou bis books than on*

Remarkable Fulfilment of a Dream —
During the night of Tuesday, William
Jackson, a railway laborer, residing at
Gresn Hamerton, near Charesborou^h, .
dreamed that he should be killed on tho '
railway. He awoke and told his wife of
the circumstance, whereupon she implore^
him not to go that morning to his usual
labor on the line: notwithstanding whica
he did so, when, strange enough to state, he
accidentally fell from a ballast train In tho
neighborhood of Flaxby, and Was rua
over, both bis legs and right arm beiffg
crushed in a dreadful manner. Hp . was
brought to the Wheat Sheaf Inn, in this
town, where he expired three hours after
his arrival. The poor man has left a wid-
ow and seven children to bewail his
English paper.
