MIGRANTS AND HEW YORK HUM- BVGS. From Correspondence f the Union. New Y. rk.Sept. 11, i345: It fct Very curious to see emigrants lund here in the tlg-davs, fmu, tb Noiih of Eu rope. A ft "end states i nic lhat an Irish girl Vvtu'fiviujt in hi family, who landed in this cily in July last, whcu the wenihcr was in tensely hut. Among lile emigrants wa n iri'su woman, who came out tj join her hn Wid, already in ihu cniutry. During the voyage, the temperature at sea, especially on the baukrwa9tool and pleasant! . On Wind ing' iu the city, however, intense heat was tbund to pievail. This wumau dressed" her self out to meet her husband, with three flan nel petticoats and a merino f ock, surtnoirni- tug the whole with a ue-vv bottlc-reen cloth ; cloak, tinUhed oft' with a very large cope. Her head was tied up with a Irirge black baud of braid, with a hijze atone set in pinchbeck in the centra. Imagine the decree of heat" one thus dressed must have experienced when walking fae narrow streets, hemmed in by high re'd brick walla, with Fahrenheit's ther worhe'ter ranging from 95 to 96 ! ! The result w as, that she was taken ill, nod not long afieT died. The seivaut git Lot .my fiieud called a diy or two si tire, to learn how her fellow-passenger carne on, when he re ceived the melancholy tidings of. her death, evidently caused by the excessive heat, aggra vated by over-dressing. I have often seen Yorkshiro farmers laud here in July and August, with all (heir drab and brown Woolleus about them, with leggings on-, and jut as 1 ued to see them on '.he hills of Yorkshiie, teuding sheep or ploughing in a cold drizzling rain. On meeting them thus rigged out, iu the heal of dog-day i, in New York, their faces would look as red as beet, and they would occasionally exclaim : "Oh! me, Jov werry 'of." Our cousiu-German - emigrants are not a .whit more wise; the wo men, at the same season of fervid heat, walk the streets in their "linsey-woolsey" petti coats, with no covering to their heads beyond a muslin cap with a vtry broad border. The men also retain their clothing, heavy shoes and heavy hats, or red woollen caps, and mnv often be seen seated nti n hnt or httrrid. smoking in a most stoical manner, while the perspiration is copiously oozing from " Myn heer" at every pore. Jf any quiz of a Yan ' ltee happens to pass, and remarks to ' Hanse" or guesses mat ine weutner is very sultry, he removes his pipe from his mouth long enough to say " yes" iu German.;, then, re placing his pipe, commences smoking again, as phleginatically unconcerned as ever. It is a little amusing sometimes to note the lugenid gull the ingenious humbugs got up in New York to credul.nss aud obtnio their money. Of all the ingenious contrivers of profitable humbugs, Barnum, of the American Museum, has hi hert carried otTthe palm. A year or two since, he had a ? to mermaid on exhibi tion. Other mUseum., riot to be out-done in a rare exhibition of this kind, had some simi- lar mermaids manufactured, and Set un nnuo-1 sition. Finally, other museums gave orders - i foi mermaid", till a regular manufactory bf them was commenced iu the upper patt of the city. To make a mermaid, all that was neces sary was t stuff the lower half of a stout fish skin, which was then sewed on to ihe upper half of a dried monkey, to the head of which long hair waw attached. fiartiiim had a large picture of a mermaid drawn on canvass, and hung on the cutside of his museum. It was cur ious to see the "green 'n " stop ou tho pore aud gaze at thi picture. Among the gazers, might be seen the country yank, wi'.h bis pantuloons buttoned so tight as to teach ouly. half way down his boots ; with coat, hat, enne, and all to match; and with a country las from the New Englaud dairy fields on his arm, who, suddenly stepping h.-j he looked up, ciied out, " By go&h! I say, Sal, did you ever see such a critter? Jemiuy, if it aint a rail pretty wo man, except the paits that's turned to fish." " It's a maremaid," exclaimed the maid, laugh ing; ; for young maids. can always lauh at just nothing at all. "By hoky," said Nehemiah, or Jabez, (or whatever hi name was,) "let's go in and see the critter ;' and In they went, at twenty-five cents per head the Yankee not entering, however, till the doorkeeper as sured him it was a real critter, aud no mis take." The ne)tt move, it is rumored, was the clever contrivauce of suirounding n rather stout lad with close-htting India rubber cUwb, and then blowing him up, to represent an enormous fat boy. After he hid been shown off for a con siderable time for the " fat boy,'' ihey put pet ticoats on him aud showed him off for " a fat girl." When the uovelty produced by litis chango had run out, his face was blackened, and a negro wig put on him, when he Was shown first as "a fat negro, boy," and after wards as "a fat nero girl."" They are now showings petrified man consisting, probably, of a hanmu skeleton sur rounded with plaster of Paris, or . some other hard substance. Sea serpents and mastodons are readily formed from plastet aud other materials. 4 Vive la humbug.

Improvements.---It is well known that , shifts are often becalmed,' and to use a nautical phrase, "with such a lop of the sea on" as to prevent the use of boats in towing their heads around. Gunboats taking advan tage of their position uuder such circum stances, often attack with success large ships of war, whose broad side, if they could be brought to bear, would sweep their musqoito antagonist! from the water. So iu Ihe com mercial marine, serious losses occur where merchantmen will not answer their helms, "miss stays, and have no room to wear.'' In thoe naval actions, where fleets are moored during the fight, the plan of having springs upon the cables is adopted t' bring the ship round, and thus present a fresh battery to the . t f a I . i t 1 enemy. 1 nis leal was periormea u.y uie gal lant MacdoiVough on Lake Champlatn, and led to his glorious victo:y. It has loug been an obieel with naval men, to hod some means itideudent of the ageucy of Meatn, by which a large ve-sel ran be brought round easily by a mechanical power exerted with herself. A patent has accordingly been taken out in Fnlaod for what is called a ship manceuv- rer, aud after the usual opposition in hrer ested qui'rttfi. and indifference wheie a con trary feeling might have been expected; the iuveutor had the rood luck to have oue adnpt- d in a collier and a Woolw kh lighter. The Adinimliy soon woke up under the strong re commendations of some gallant and iuteili ent naval officers, who did 'not' Relieve that the whole ait of navigation, or building and fighting ships, as exclusively resident under their old cocked hats. We have heard of this kind of hostility to naval improvements in our own country, but we trust that the day is past when commou sense and its proposed advantageous changes in the service- are to be put down, even by the woithiest captaius of the "olden time." The manceuvrer was text placed on board the St. Lawrence, formerly the Shannon, and in the month of July last, an experiment was made at Shcerness. The frigate was towed out into the'tide way, which was strongly at ebb, aud left to herself. 1 he capstan was then maimed, and the ship's head was cast round easily, while on a broad sheer in the very strong and powerful current. Tbe plau of this machine we.understand to be this: A screw is placed in a tubein the dead Wood, and s placed that the axis of rotation of the fans is at right angles to the line of the keel. The rnotiou is commumcat ed to it from a rigger, passing through a stuff ing box. Mr Foulertou gives nine particular advan tages to be derived from the machine, at mo ments of great importance in navigation, whether the vessel be at sea, sailing in a fleet, gelling under way, or moving about among other veseis, and these whether her rudder arts or not.

The building ut the Mormon Temple under nil the trouble by which those people have been sorrouuded, seems to be carried on with n religiou en thusiasm which reminds us of olden time.', by the energy which controls all the move ments toward; its completion. it occu the highest and nrvt imposing p- aii in Naovoo, and is built ot nne limestone, nas pibfters 6 at each end and 9 of a side each su mounted bv a capital on which fs carved a human face with rays around it aud two hauds holding trumpets. The Temple is 123 feet by S9 ; from floor to rdol is no leei ; anairom the ground to the lop of the spire is 163 .feet. The baptisrhal fountain is iu he basement, to be supported bv stone oXeu. Each floor is estimated to hold4,000 people, so that 12,000 persons can be accommodated, being about one-fourth of the siz of Solomon's Temple. 350 men are zealously at work upon the build in, which it is supposed will be finished iu a year and-a-halfT, piobably at a cost of half million of dollars. Tbe spiritual concerns. of the' Mormon are governed by a Council of 12, composed of the following person : Bng ham Young, the Lion of the Lord ; II. C Kimball, the Herald of Grace; Pailey P. Pratt, the Archer of Paradise; O'S.m Hyde., the Olive Branch of Isiasl; William 1 Rich ards the Keeper of the Rolls ; John Taylor, tho Champion of Right ; William Smith, the Patriarchal Jacob's Staff; Milford Wood ruff; the Banner of tne Gospel; Geo. A. Smith the Entablature of Truth ; Orsou Pratt, the Guage of Philosophy ; . Jno. E. Page, the Sun Dial ; Lyman Wright, the Wild Ram of the Mountaiu. The Keeper of the Rolls has charge of the men at work on the Temple. It is supposed that (he Mormon inhabitants of that city are full 20,000 souls, and of the surrounding country 10,000 mdre the only property owned in common is the Temple and the Hotel they are industrious good farmers raise wheat plentifully, and aie about to engage iu manufactures. The whole com munity may be considered in their peculiar tenets as singular and remarkable, and in af ter ages their Temple, like the ruins of Pa lehque, may strike the beholder with wonder, and hi' ory may be unable to explaiu what race worshipped there. A Y San. THE EXPLOSION OF SALTPETRE. The explosivencs-r of Saltpetre has become in New York, what the lawyers call a vexed question.' The Common CouncilComriiittee conclude their report upon the explosion of Saltpetre as follows : 1. That all the explosions of the fire of the 1 3th July, 1845, originated within and issued from tho building, No. 28 Broad street, occu pied at the time of the fire by Messrs Crocker & Warren. Thst there were in all about 13 explosions. the first no louder than the discharge of a common horse pistol. 1 hey took place" at intervals of a lew seconds, each louder lhau that which preceded it, until the fata! explo- sion occurred by ineaus of which 38 Brdnd . ........ -i .t-t. . . , ai asi mre ouuaings aojoining n lowa.os Beaver, and nil the buildings that adjoined' it towards Exchange ssreet, Were instantly dash ed into ruins, aud even tho foundation walls of Crocker & Warren's store nearly obliterat ed, at the same moment the fronts of the build- ingsou opposite side 01 rvoau st. were mown iu and tne was scattered far and wide, so that a conflagration but for these explosions; would undoubtedly nave been connned to two nuiid- . ...... . .

Tbe war fever, both at Yem Cruz" and Mexico, bad subsided. It is now certain there w ill he no declaration of war. Efforts were being made to organize a militia, but they were met eiy abortive. In the city of Mexico, which coutains 200,000 inhabitants, only eleveu recruits were found, e.ilisted. General Filisola, full of indignation, had thrown up thecommaud of the division, which bad caused the scandalous proceedings iu Sau Louis Potosi, and had determined to re turn t be city of Mexico. - .. . , The Department of Zacatecas appears to be in a great state of excitement, in conse quence of the anuexatiou of Texas. She of fers all her resources iu order to carry tin the war,' and the inhabitants appeared desirous to march to the conquest of ibat territory. The appoiutmeut of Gen. Bustamente as Commauder iu chief of the Army for Texas, is auuouuced in El Monitor of Aug. 22d. This is a post which he had long sought, but it may be doubted if his own aspirations may not bring him iu collision with the military chiefs, already too numeious fur thecommaud of the 8ji my . . The Department of Tama ulipas had made, through its Assembly, a pompous tender of the services aud resources of the Department to the Central Government for the purposes of the war, but some of the papers of the same Depaitirteut are quite as clamorous iu calling upon the Government for protection against foreign iova-ion. I bis last anival does not bring us many fuilber details about the affair ofSa.i Luis and the apprehended rev.lutioo there; the dates are scarcely late enough. It is easy to see, however, that the country is trembling with npprehensidns Of further civil Commo tions. The editor ( the touri'er has sceu letters from tampico hich give a complexion to the revolt of San Luis quite different from the Mexican papers, and which rlreutheu the appreheusions expressed by the editor of LI Geieu. These letters state that the troops positively refused to march to the fioulier, and thai a revolution was apprehended from day to day the head of which would be Gen. Pare- des hiaiself. who had with him at Sau Luis Potosi five or six thousadd men. The ohject of the levolutiouaiv movement would be to aholUh the central system of government and to re-establish the federal institutions of 1824 Such an occurence is not improbable, ihiuks the Courier, as General Paredes ha always been tegarded oue of the warmest advocates of the federative principle. A letter from Monterey, California, dated July 12th, which is translated iu. the Bee, says : 'This country is less than fever attach ed to the central authority. Every thing here is at sixes and sevens. Troops are raid t be on their way, but nothing positive is known. It . is generally believed ih;it ihe Mexican Government is more feei-Ie than California!"

They are armed, (the regiments, e. oue comj any in each,) aud have always beer as infantry serving iu the fo tifications wi n heavy guns. They are culled artillery iu the law, aud are metnt for garrisons tt the sea- coast fortifications. We have four regiments of this artillery, or forty companies. If these were all nea-artil!ery, tbey would require 240 field-pieces, guns, and howitzers field artil lery suffiiceut for an army of 240,000 men, according to the rule which prevails in modern armio-. This, though a preposterous force of artillery, it armed as Jied-aiiillery, fr any a'my the Uuited States can ever maintain or send mto the field, is much too small for complete garrisons of our forts on the sea -coast and lake frontiers. These forts, when completed, are estimated to mount 6,800 heavy gun.

In lime of war, this force would be iucreased ; but it is not meant ever to garrison the forts entirely with regulars. - The militia would, in great part, be employed for that purpo.-e ; a nd it is. certainly the best aud mosl useful em ployment for that force. We shall, however, have in each garrison a disciplined, well-instructed body of artillerists, for the more dim" cult duties at the guns. This statement hows the purpose of that part of our army called ar tillt ry. Of this, 4 companies are, by law, equipped as field-artillery, with guns and horses. Four such cotripauies have been or dered to Texas. The other 12 artillery i tt:n panies sent thither, are armed and iiisfru ted as infantry; and. Of course) are without guns" -that is, field caunon.
