Thb Fia.In the saloon, in glass cases on the north table, we find aome beautiful lurgeon'i instruments, made by Weigand it Snowden and eomo bookbinder's tool, worthy, of notice, by Copper. The jewelry by Annia fc Dreer, Wni G.

The bookbinding, by Hogan Thorapon, ia beautiful. Their blank books are remarkably well' made, though the locks upon them would make Paddy's knife laugh. Their stationery and qailla are of superior quality. The paper of Jeerap Crown, and the csrds of Mann, are; of superior quality: Here is a beautiful specimen of variegated marble, from Shenandoah county, in Virginia, wrought by A. Uenkcel, and depo sited by J.

G. Ritter. Angel's file press, a very useful article for counting rooms, it exhibited here. 'Here it tome fine paper, by Hubbard of Norwieh, and alto by Owen Hurlbut. Samuel Moore has deposited some beautiful spe cimens of his bookbinding.

James Thompson's silver ware is of band tome workmanship so it last or John Lurry, of Bailey A Kitchen, and of Kirk, of Balti Here are some handsome specimens of Britannia ware by Bailey Si Putnam, by John Harned, and by Leonard, Reed Si Barton.

The ailver trumpet by George K. Childt, is a beauti ful article. In room No. 2, above stain, among other speci mens of the fine arts, are (wo of sculpture in marble, very creditable to the artist His name is not on' them. Among the painting, are two snow pieces, or winter landscapes, by Mm Shi be, that well deserve a careful examination.

The? are creditable to her taste and talent. She has deposited two other small landscape views, one' of which, representing the rocky shore of a lake, and persons looking over tho clifli, is beau tiful A wood scene, representing a farmer's boy with his horse and dog, by J. Earle, is a good painting. JMis Humesville factory is very well, De France's girl holding a rabbit is another beautiful thing. A mow piece by Dickinson is defective in one point Some of the trees are ia full foliage.

If intended for deciduous trees, which they resemble, such a phenomenon in sootier is extraordinary; more especially as the other trees in the piece have been stripped by the frost If intended for evergreens, the very distinctive appearance of that class is not given to A painting by Monaehesi is very good. Visiters are requested to examine the representation of Fairmount, in marble, by John Hill. We overlooked a piano in the music room, by Rich emhech. It has a fine tone, and is exceedingly well finished. 4 i Diath ay Drowning, CacsuTit Intix rxURCi On Wednesday evening, shortly after 10 o'clock, two men came to watchman Kerr, at CallowhiU and Front street, and told him that they thought they had seen a man, evidently under the effect of liquor, fall overboard at Callow, hill street wharf.

Mr. Kerr immediately proceeded to the wharf, in company with several others, and instituted a diligent search, which proved unsuccessful Not satisfied, however, he proceeded to the dock again a little before five o'clock yesterday morning, at low water, and then discovered the body of a man lying dead in the mud in the dock, and in order to prevent his being washed away by the tide, be procured a rope, which he fastened around the body, After roll call at the watch house, Mr. Kerr, in company with several other watchmen, proceeded again to the river and hauled the corpse on ahore. Alderman Mordecai Y. Bryant held an inquest over the body early yesterday morning, at which the 'jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts.

The deceased, to all appearance, had been a man about 63 or 64 years of age, "and measured 5 feet 9 inches in height His name could not be ascertained. One of the witnesses, a tavernkeeper, examined before the fl fl L.J af vwhwi uepvavti mat tu ucvoawu his house, about 8 o'clock, on Wednesday evening last, and was then very much intoxicated. Coiircnoa Several items ot foreign news, which appeared in the Ledger of yesterday morning, should hsve been credited to the National Gazette of the preceding day, from which paper they were taken. In the collection of domestic items, we claim to be first among the foremost, and are not displeased to see our neighbors avail themselves of oar facilities to the extent I they do, notwithstanding it ia done frequently without acknowledgment; they no welcome. To perfect originality in our toreign intelligence we lay no claim.

In the instance we allude to, we omitted, in our haste, to give the credit, as was our intention. Miss Mxdina, oa Mas. Hamsun. Much ox eitetsent exists in New York regard to the lata snddea decease of this lady. It makes the third esddea and mysterious death which has occurred under Mr.

Thomas Harablin a roof. Heiscer uinly a most unfortunate, a very guilty man. The first eeaclusion ts most probably correct CooriR, the Nevelut, aai arrived in this city. in the by. of the ted el but to if the the of I Lmrr mo Cahada.

By the politeness of a hjjnc from Quebec and Montreal, we have later Intelligence from Canada than before received, 'upon which we can rely. He left Quebec on the 5th inst. in the steamboat which hid, In tow two small boats, one containing" about 600 troops of the Grenadier Guards, and the ether, several pieces of artillery and their furniture. On board the Canada, wai their Commander, Brigadier General Sir James McDonnell, and other officers." When the boat arrived as far as Three Rivers, on the 7ih inst, Mr. McDonnell, a lawyer of Montreal, and said to be a Patriot Major General, was put on board heavily ironed, having been taken in arms.

Soon afterwards, aa American, having in conversation mentioned that he was recently from Richelieu, one of the disturbed districts, where he had been to get hands to work on the Canal near Chicago, Illinois, upon which he said he had a contract, waa arrested and ironed to McDonnell, on the tuppotdion that he too was a "Patriot or bad been in the district with some sinistsr motive. When they arrived at Montreal, a guard of sol diers landed with them and proceeded to escort then to the prison, but the rabble portion of the British population gathered in a mob round the prisoners and their escort, reviling, sccfTmg, spitting and throwing mud and filth at them rat length it became so violent from the impunity, if not encouragement, with which all this was received by the authorities, that the guard was compelled to step at the guard house to prevent the mob from taking the prisoners out of their hands and lynching them on the spot' About half an hour after, at the guard house, on ex animation nothing could be found to implicate the American, and he was released, and left Montreal the next Monday. Our informant remained in Montreal until the next day at noon, the 8th InsM and found there was considerable fear among the loyal inhabit ants of a rising ia the town itself, which fear waa induced by the fact that the citixenl of French descent, who composed nearly two thirds of the population; and number many men of wealth, in telligence and influence, were altogether Pa triou" in feeling, and opposed to the British rule Such indeed was the alarm, that the timid of both parties, who could, were leaving the town and the disturbed districts, It waa rumor in Montreal that Sir John Colboume, the Commander in Chief, had deter mined to strike a grand blow at the Patriot force assembled at Napierville. For this purpose he had despatched a detachment of 1,500 men into L'Acadie, to intercept the retreat of the Patriots into the United States, while he followed wiih the remaining force, consisting of five regiments of infantry, the grenadier guards and the artille ry, (between 3 and 4000 in all, to attack them front' il On the afternoon of the 8th instant, our infor mant leit Montreal for Laprarie, which Is about 20 miles from Napierville, the head quarters of the Patriots. In the boat, crotsing the river at the same time, were Sir John Col bourne, Gen.

Sir James M'Doanell, and the last detachment of the troops, on their route to Napiervilfe, to join the main body. As the railroad was. occupied with the passage of the troops toward Napier ville, he was obliged to remain at Laprarie until they bad all gone, when he proceeded oa to St Johns'; and oa the 10th, embarked there oa a Lake Champtain steamboat for the United States. While proceeding on board the steamboat up Lake from St Johns, smoke by ay, and fires night were distinctly seen in the direction Napierville and L' Arcadia, as if from the conflagration of villages. mu those districts, as was supposed at Champlain and Plattaburg.

ia New York. Several of the Patriots came on board, and stated that tie Patriots kad abandoned Napiertille, and fled over the lines into the United States, with the exception, of a few, who were surprised and taken prisoners at the out poets; and that the British had released all the distinguished loyalists who were imprisoned at Napierville by the Patriots, among whom were Mr. Ellice, Brown, and other distinguished citi zens. They aUo stated tnat toe jfatriot army at Napierville, at no time, had exceeded 850 men. greater part of whom were badly armed, and totally unable to withstand, with any hope of suc cess, the immense force sent against them.

A United States officer, who had also come on board at one of the places mentioned above, sta in confirmation, that both sides had attempt to come over the lines nearest to Napierville, were checked by the United States force sta tioned there, and made to lay down their arms before crossing. It would appear then from this intelligence that the Patriot cause was, for the present, nipped in the Montreal district One of the Patriots on board observed that it was in vain for the British, with all their force, think to keep the Canadaa in subjection that the people did not succeed this winter in gain ing independence, they would try it the next winter and the next and the next until it waa achieved. 1 the foregoing, we may add a statement of New York Express, that a slip from Ogdens burg, dated the 9th, soys, a report has been circulated from Preocott, that a company of Colonel Worth's regiment were fired on at Cornwall, by British loyalists, as they passed by there on Wednesday last, and that one American soldier was killed, and two or three more wounded.
