m SOMETHING Newt—A labouring ot‘an named J. Roberts, in the service 1, Mr. Jones, farmer, near Colwin, ssjust constructed several pair of wings, by the aid of which, he has already been enabled to fly a con- siderable ‘distance, having on Friday last performed the experiment in the presence of several hundred people who had assembled to witness the wonderful spectacle. He ascended a small eminence in the parish of Llysfaen, from which, resting on five wings made of feathers, one attached to each of the shoulders and feet, and another, on which he principally leaned, attached to his breast, he reached the ground in perfect safety, at the distance of nearly a bandied feet, amid the cheers of the assem- bled multitude. It is his intention to persevere in the undertaking, and he hopes in a short time to repeat the experiment on a larger scale. r..- FROM LATE AMERICAN PAPERS.

The Houston Telegraph ofthc let ult. says that a party of about 70 Mexican soldiers approached wi'hin 16 miles ofCastrovdle, about a fort. night previous. Capt. [lays received information oftlieir movements, and went out to attack them; but they were apprised ot'his approach by one oftheir spies. and hastily decziinped. It is supposed that they intended to attack Castroville for the purpose of capturing a quantity ofgoods that had been deposited there by some Mexi- can traders. The American government cori- tinues to send men and munitions of war to Texas.

CHILDREN KILLED nv Roan—Mc- Afee, living intlie south Mountain, in \Vashington county, Nth, deposited whiskey within the reach of his chil- dren, two of whom, iii the absence of their parents, partook of it freely. On the return of the mother, she found her children in the agonies of death foaming at the mouth. their faces horribly discolour- ed, and so bloated as almmt to defy recognition, and in her presence they died an awful and premature death. Fussy (‘iisn—Aaiuscnisnr or rat: LADIE‘.-—TWO ladies, one young, bcatttiftilaiid unmarried; the other,a somewhat older, married lady, were on Monday evening arrested and con- veyed to one of the station houses, where they were locked tip till morn- ing, being found promenading the street dressed in male attire. Not having been sufficiently observing of the manners ot‘geutlemen, they cut so awkward a figuie, that they were immediately suspected and arrested. It seems that the young lady who helm-gs to one of the first families in the city. wasjealous oflier lover, and determined to watch his move- ments, and being Somewhat tearful of going into the field alone, she re- quested her older friend to accom- pany her, to which she assented.— They were discharged in the morning upon prninisingiievcr to “ wear the breaches" again—a promise which we fear the married lady will find it somewhat difficult to keep. \Viur Nexr?—A patent has been granted to a Tory gentleman not to einbalm but pctrify bodies.
