StJNDAY, May 14, 1S49, J Lat. 31® N, ion. 37®. \ After a passage of forty-nine long and monotpnoos days I find myself within two days’ sail of Rio Janei ro. ft is a fact I can hardly realize, that I have traveUed over 6000 miles to this far southeru lati tude, and am now about to wander through t‘ Streets of the greatest—^ city in South Amorioa,—t vojy thought is exciting and novel. I have long i -- — „ -------- — South Amorioft,^“thG vojy thought is exciting and novel. I have long de- elred to see a rich tropical country like Hrazil, with its strange and loxnnant vegetation, and its peculiar manners and customs j and now I am abeut to be gratified. But land—hard, solid land—with its green trees, pure water, and rich fpuits, seem to be luxu ries too great ever to be seen by me again a fter being tossed about so long upon the lonely ocean, with nothing but the heavens above and the everlasting waters around. Thus far, we have had a good passage. W e have had no siohness worth mentioning, and every thing has gone on much smoother than I expected at first, and I think my health is considerably improved sino( I left homo. The first month out 1 did not feel well I was very weak, and it seemed to be an effort for to more ; 1 had no appetite, and could go withe ‘‘ood for t ------- ------- ■’— ’ -------- ■ d no appel food for two or three days ,a r £ . intinued in t h e ______ _ . _ „ . ______ ____ three weeks, until we reached longitude 35, when we altered our course and sailed to the south. Daring the most of this time the weather continned rainy and unoomfortahle, and there was no chance to ex ercise, as the ship rolled and pitched abont. But soon after this we found a warm olimate and smooth sea. Almost every day we could perceive a difference in the temperature. Straw hats and thin pants came verj suddenly into fashion, and as I lay gazing out of mj berth window, watching the flying fish as tbey wonlc rise in large flocks ont of the waier.g I found the oooi breeze very refreshing, and thanked my stars that 1 did not take a berth below. As soon as the warm weather oommeuced we rigged a pnmp over the bow, of the Ship, and in turns pumped upon each other.— In this way I took a fine salt-water bath every morn ing a t sunrise, and my health has continned to im prove ever ainoe; I think .now that it is better than it has been ip a long time. Nothing of much interest has happened on board since leaving New York.

After remaining in this fiery furnace two days, we took a breeze and sailed for the south, and on Monday night, the 30th of April, we crossed the lino. During this time I found it very comfortable thermometer ranged from 80 to OT during the which was much cooler than I expected to “ ia r a waa a reBulfli' row on boafd that niBlit. One fellow was drosaod up as Neptuno; and about 12 o’clock every one was startled from his sleep by a hideous noise through a speaking trum p e t; and a committee was appointed to haul every one on deck, and to invite them, under Ihe direction of old Nep tune, to take a ducking. Such a scene of confusion followed ns yon can hardly conceive of. The party with me in the deob house determined not to submit, and as our quarters will admit but a few persons at a time, wo stood ourjCTOund, so that they finally gave it up in despair.

When I think of being tossed abont by waves mountains high, surrounded by ice and snow, with tho weather cold enough to freeze one’s very life-blood, it makes me long for the green fields and comfortable home I left behind me; but stiU I do not regret having taken this ronto, for 1 feel that it will restore my health and strength, and that is worth travelling a long waytfor. and is more valuable than gold. M ay 15th —Tho last two days we have had light winds and^ calms, and have made but little progress, viting.

A late Liverpool paper for making ship and other biscuits patented by Mr. Thomas Harrison, by which the flour and water in proper proportions are placed in a cylinder, aud the first operations of thoroughly mixing is performed by arms inside. On leaving the cylinder, thp donghrs kneaded by the means of a large iron cylinder, under it passes several times. The required thickness „..wined on passing beneath a smaller cylinder. The dough spread out, like a large sheet, then passes along an endless cloth, the machinery moving a t each stroke the precise width of a biscuit. As the dough passes along, by the rising a nd failing of a nicely-adjusted piece of mechanism, the biscoits are^iut into shape, and receive the stamp of the patentee. The biscuits are not circular, but have six sides, and, therefore, there is not in cutting ont. any waste of dough ; ex- of the oven, whore they a re received be called, for familiar illustration, an endless g iron, which, as the machine moTes, draws in the biscuits in a ^ew seconds. £2aob oven is Ah feet in width, and 2 6 i feet in length.
