It appears from a statement, published in the Union, that the only naval officer ever heretofore elected to the United States Senate, was the Hon. Louis McLane, who resigned a midshipman in 18C2 and, was a Senator from Delaware from 1827 tD (V»m Klnrlftrun i.4- thwpfopp. tHe» tponml ’ naval officer elected to theSeaate.

A Washington correspondent says that the pre • teat for the suspension of the Globe of that city, which is alleged in Mr. Rives’ card is untrue.— That the establishment has been sold to Messrs.

Ipj’On Friday evening, the 21st ultimo, at Phila delphia, a very respectable and rich merchant was held to bail in the sum of (1000, having been de tected in a delicate situation with a married wo man, in Spring Garden. Both parties have here tofore borne an unblemished reputation. The lady is a young Italian, and it was at the instance ; of the merchant’s wife that the arrest was made.

Yesterday morning a few minutes before twelve o’clock, our citizens were astounded by a deaf ening report, resembling the discharge of a heavy piece of artillery. On hastening in the direction whence the report emanated, it was soon asrer tamed that one of the boilers of the steam ferry boat lying at the foot of Spruce street had eiplo ded, and that a number of persona had been hur- i ; hed into eternity. On going on board the boat, an ; awful tight presented itaelf. The larboard boiler i lay on the deck forward, flattened out like a sheet I of paper. The starboard boiler had been blown | on the right band ruard, burying beneath it a horse, the rider of which was killed. Forward on th«? fiprk wi-rc manpU*] horlnf four n»>rmn« | three men and * boy, so blackened and disfigured that they could not for some time be recorniscd. On the after port of the boat were the bodies of a i man and two boys, all three rery much mangled. About half way between the boat and the side walk of the levee, the mangled body of William Benson, the first engineer, was picked up, and further on, the body of K. Harding, moulder_ Benson was alive when found, but soon expired. On board the boat of the seven persons lying pros trate on the deck, only one was alive, and he died before he could be removed. The entire upper works of the boat, forward of the wheel, were blown to stoma. Not a ventage of the cabin or of the engine room remained except a heap of rubbiah. The deck under the boilers was blown into the hold, and a fragment of some of the machinery wax blown through the bottom of the boat. So dreadful was the explosion, that the levee, for some distance, was covered with fragments of the wreck, and a portion of oae of the pipea weighing perhaps a hundred pounds. waa blown across the levee, and broke in the weather-boarding of Dr. Atwood’s office. As to the cause etf the explosion, little as yet is certainly known, as nearly all the officers and crew were killed. It is reported, however, that when Mr. Henson, the first engineer, came on the boat, which had rung her last bell, and waa cast ing <>ff to depart, he called »n Mr Trudley, and told him to start the “doctor." Mr. T. complied, and at the first injection of cold water in the boilers, the explosion occurred. We also learn, on good authority, that a practical river-man, >tt. ling in Frink A. W alker's office, corner of Chesnut and Fourth streets, exclaimed, when - startled by the explosion—“ That’s the ferry lust St. Loins; I told them this morning tkey^d blow up; they were carrying steam enough left a New Orleans boat." The above are all the facts we have been able to embody in relation to this serious disaster.— Days must pus over before the entire number of tbe killed can be ascertained.

As facts for future reference, they are invaluable; l'p to the beginning of the eighteenth century,'. the small amount of cotton imported into England was from Cyprus and Smyrna. The annual average importation into England. 11 the fire years inclusive, from 17U0 to 1706 amounted to 1,171,000 pounds. In 1730, Mr. Wyatt first spun yarn cotton by 1 machinery. In 1733, on the 25th November, the trustees for the settlement of Ge-irgia, were presented a paper of cotton seed by Mr. Philip Miller, of Chelsea, England, which reached Georgia in March. 1734. ( In 1735, the first eotton was sen! to Holland by 11 the Dutch colony of Surinam, in South America. • | In 1741, raw cotton imports into England amounted to 1.900,000 pounds. In 1742, at Birmingham, England, the first cot ton spinning mill was built, its motive power was mules or bosses. In 17H0, only £200,000 was the entire value of; manufacturer! cotton goods m England. In 1761, ArkWTight (afterwards knighted.) ob tained the first patent tor his spinning frame. In 1767, the spinning jenny was invented by Janies Hargrave, which spun eight threads instead of one. Raw C'jtton imports, this year, were about 3,000,1X10 pound. In 1774, a bill prohibiting the exportation of machinery employed in the manufacture of cotton received the royal assent of England. Five years years after, the mule-jenny was invented. i In 1781, Ireland firat exported cotton goods to England, having sent over 239 pounds raw cotton, mixtures of cotton and manufactures, to the value of £157, and 17,338 pairs of cotton stockings. In 1782. England received her first cotton from Br**i.‘. The same year England received II, 828,OtW pounds imports, and exported 421,000 pounds, setting down the quantity manufactured »t 11 ,600,000 pounds. In 1785, Rev. Mr. Cartwright invented the pow er loom. The same year. Watt' steam engines were first introduced as the motive power tn driv- j ing machinery in cotton manufactones. The following year, chlorine was first used tor bleaching. ; In 1787, the first cotton spinning machinery was set up in France. In 1789, short staple cotton began to be eullira- ? ted in the South, and Sea Island cotton first iutro- “ duced here. _ t In 1790, at Pawtuekett, R. I. Mr. Slater erect- ( [ ed a cotton mill—the first in America. , In 1792, Eli Whitney, of New Haven, CL, then residing in Georgia, invented his first cotton gin. 1 In 1798, Switzerland introduced cotton mills.— ’ The I nited Stole* exported this year, 9,300,000 l pounds. Prices in England, from 22d, to 23d.; in a American exports amounted to >3.500,000. In 1802, New Hampshire built her first cotton I factory. Two years after, the first power loom * was introduced into the Cm ted States, at Wbel- f tham. Mass. , In 1822, first cotton factory erected at Lowell, Mass. The following year, Egypt first exported 1 cotton to England. In 1826, Roberts, in England, invented tea self- v acting mule spiuner. In the meantime, from X100.000, the value of 1 cotton manufactures in England, in 1760, it in- 6 creased in little more than half a century, to over I X34,000,000. In 1841, the eastern States had invested, in cot- * ton manufactures, a capital of NO,612,984.
