Fionx on tub Coast of Africa.—Wo find
in the London Chronicle u particular aoeount of
tho conflict on the coast of Africa, heretofore
reported by tolograph, botwonn two British ves-
sels of war, and a large body of natives who
were attacking an American merchant ship
which had stranded. Tho American vessel, a
brigantine, was called tho Mary Adoline. She
went ashore in attempting to enter the river Con-
go. Tho British ship Dolphin was in the river
and seeing tho signal of distress flying, went to
her assistance at nightfall, but wus unable to of-
tout any thing that night. To the surpriso of all,
tho next morning the river was crowded with
canoes, with ten to forty natives in each,all arm-
ed, and at least two-thirus with muskets. Their
movements left no doubt of their hostilo pur-
pose. Tho British ship sent Oil hoard of the
American a gun, fitted it for service, supplied
ammunition, and took up a position herself to
defend tho ship. The natives made tho attack,
pouring in a firo of musketry and attempting to
board tho vessel. Tho Dolphin opened upon
them a firo of shot and shell, and in a little
while drovo tho assailants ashore; and cleared
tho beach of them. The number Was estima-
ted at three thousand. This being done, the
ship's boats attempted to get off the stranded
vessel, but failed; and it was found necessary to
removo her cargo. On tho evening of the day
another British armed vessel—the Fire Fly—
arrived and sent her boats to assist. In tho
morniug, the natives rallied and rccommencod
tho attack, but wcro dispersed by another broad-
side, and took to tho bush. Tho Dolphin and
Fire Fly continued their assistance, notwith-
standing the heavy swell which-sot in and cap-
seized ono of the ships cutters. The whole of
the cargo was transferred to the Dolphin,ai
tho 22u the Mary Adolino was got off safe

Sum-marine Boat.—Of the many valuable
inventions now to be seen at tho great fair at
Castle Garden, the sub-marine boat of Mons.
Alexander is certainly tho most, wonderful. On
Saturday last, tho second experiment was made
in tho presence of thousands of spectators; and,
like the first, was entirely successful. The boat
with eight gentlemen on board, sunk to tho bot-
tom, (a dopth of 87 feet,') and remained there
an hour und ten minutes tho gentlemen did not
suffer tho least inconvenience, and after parta-
king of refreshments, came again to tho sufneo.
This is certainly one of tho most wonderful in-
ventions of tho age, and promises to be of vast
utility in recovering lost treasure, stittken ves-
sels, taking gold from the beds of rivers in Cal-
ifornia, &Oi Six or eight men can go down at

municating With tho surface. Such a vessel
would bo invaluable in the pearl fishery. We

chase the patent and tho boat, with a view of
sending her immediately to California.

An Incident.—A correspondent of the Al
exumlriu (Va.) Gazctto, speaking of his visit to
Kngltind, says: 'I had gone to Gravescnd with
the view of taking passage, but an incident pre-
vented. A white swim which was worthy to
perform its flight through the Milky Way,came
near fho vvsscl in which it was my design to
sail, and her commander took his gun. Tho
sequel we need not mention. The blood of the
dead bird stained the river. We were just then
fresh from reading "the Ilhvmo of tho Ancient
Mariner" in which tho vessel encountered heavy
calamities after tho killing of the Albatross,and
tho circumstance determined me not to go with
such a barbnrian. You will smile at my super-
stition. YoU mny even go through Lausanne
and tell the incident; but don't forget to add that
tho vossol from whose deck the nird was shot
has been missing from that time. She perished
with all on board.
THB CONTEST AND ITS CONSKQUKNC
Pennsylvania has beon tho champion of the
Constitution for nearly fifty years. She has
uever failed iu overy crisis and upon every oc-
casion, to prove her sinccrc devotion to tho inter-
est of thoso who aro associated with her in the
National Compact. She has stood between tho
North and tho South iu tho double character of
arbitor and advocate.
Tho sontimcnt which triumphed in the rocnt
oloctions in Pennsylvania and throughout the
Union, was the National sentiment. Without
proscribing any ono of thoso heretofore adhering
to seotionul sentiments, but welcoming all who
have uuitcd upon tho Baltimore platform of Juue,
1852, lot us remember that tho element which
has gUided us through tho porils of tho recout
conflict, is Democratic devotion to tho principles
of the Constitution. General Pierce, tho Presi-
dent elect, emphatically enunciated his position
on this great question,as woll before his nomina-
tion, as after his accoptuncc of tho freewill offer-
ing of tho Democratic Convention. Undor his
administration, whilst all Democrats will doubt-
loss bo impartially considered and fairly treated,
the triumphant prinoiplo referred to, caii never
fail to be a fundamental article of his eon-
duct.
The next point settled by tho election of
Franklin Pierce and Win. It King, is tho degrad-
ing idea that moro military availability is to
command tho voiced and the support of an intel-
ligent and law loving people. This consideration
alone possesses iuvaiuablo importance. Henco-
forward and forever no man can bo oleoted to
the Chief Magistracy who docs not rely upon
his competency to discharge all tho delicate and
responsible duties ot that, the highest civil office
in the worldi
The American people wcro taught a bitter
lesson in the elections of General Harrison and
General Taylor, and had General Scott beon
presented under other and loss fatal auspices
than those which surroundod him, his fate would
have been the same. It was tho jealousy of
inflicting upon the country another era of the
unrelieved civil incompetency of military chief-
tains, and of fastening upon the treasury a liordo
of plunderers, which rendered tho defeat of Gener-
al Scott inevitable—a defoat, which his own
frivolities made all the more crushing and com-
plete. Tin philosophy of tho struggle just,
closed, contains no moro instructive chapter than
that which records tho downfall of Availabili-
ty.
But lotus not forgot that if General Scott fell
because, amongst other things, his advocates
wore unworthy of publio confidence, the men
who controlled liiin have beon repudiated and
rebuked. They have been tho inventors of a
science of robbery—making tho public funds a
field for their peculations, itnd Converting high
officers of tho administration into agents of tho
most corrupt and monstrous doman Is upon the
treasury of •bo people. Tho new administra-
tion will inaugurate anew ora, or will restore
the old Democratic practices, when patriots
filled tho Executive enair, dtld when patriots
stood liko sentinels in tho HxeGutivo department,
of tho government.
Tho record of Franklin Pierce while in Con-
gress, is his pledge for tile futtire, against tho
hordes of Gulphius and Gardinorg, whoso ex-
pectations and whose plots perished with the
hopes of tho advocates of General Scott.
