that this leakage of the pip is mors ihn

would seem fully o establish the fact that
this power mar be successfully used fur

advantages, as set forth by its inventors,
Messrs. Clegg and Samuda, are that th
weight of locomotives, often Very great, is
wholly saved, lighter and less costly rails
may be used, no collision ol trains can oc-
cur, and a great, saving may be etTected by
Ihe substitution of ststionary for locomo

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT T
THE FALLS.
Extract of a letter received in this ci
ty, dated Falliof Nia;a.a .July 19, 1841.
I hasten to tay a word of an interesting
incident which occurred here during my
stay, and has been the cause of great ex
citement bete, and which will probably
firgur in the newspapers. On Friday
night last, about 10 o'clock a man by the
name of AHen, belonging to this village,
in passing from Chippewa lo Nisgsra vil
lage, about two miles above the Falls, at),
ridentally broke one his osni, and conser
quently was not able to reach the shore at
the usual place. He soon fooiid himself
carried down the rspid current, and Jo
wrl ths lIMse rlne- Fall. " TUa tumb
ling waters were before bim. and he of
ilfnrtl hit gathed 1 point opposite7 the outer
of the Islands called The Sisters, and there
his boat struck a rock and filled, and he
threw himself into the rushing stream, aud
gained the island just named. Those who
have visited the Falls, will remember the
situation of these Island,, and the rapid
rush of w iter which divides -them -from
each other. f::.t:::::2::.::z.: .
Early on Siturday morning he was dis
covered wet and exhausted on the island,
and a Mr. Robintorf, who has heretofore
distinguished himself by navigating the ra
pids here obtained a boat and dashed
thrtugh the whirling torrent, and reached
the second island, now known as Derr I
slsnd. Arriving there, he could converse
with the unfortunate Allen, but could pot
reach him, or give, him any aia in rescue
ing him, er In relieving 'his exhausted
frame, v ' ' ,
On Sunday, (yesterday) however, Mr.
Robinson made another attempt, and after
reaching the ptare on Deer Island, which
ha reached on Saturday. he was enabled
to threw rope from Deer Island to the
one en which Allen wss imprisoned, tnd by
the aid of this rope Allen waa rescued.
I aaw the two attempts made to resens
Allen by Robinson, and the manner he nav
igated the rapids wss wonderful, and cre
ated great astonishment Bo$. Trmut. "

The following anecdote is told nf Louis

spoken of in terms of high praise:
It chanced that Edgar Quinet, the
high-toned, but visionary author of the Aha
suerus,' was paying a visit one day to
lady of the royal household. At this time,
says the racon'eur, he was more depress
ed in spirits than usual, being on the eve
