I
On the 145th inst. General Jackson tender-
ed in person, to the legislature of Tennessee,
his resignation as a member of.the Senate of
the United States. He presented a paper ol
reasons for the measure, from which we offer
the following extracts :—
, “ One inducement to iuy determination is:
‘that travelling to the city of Washrngion
twice a year imposes no inconsitlerable fa-
'tigue. and although this is a minor considera-
tion, and one which would have been met with
eheerfulness, if business involving the inter-
ests ofour happy couirtry had required the
exertion ; yet I am aware of nothing of great
national importance which is likely to come
before Congress, excepting a subject that you
have lately had before your body-—-the amen-
ding oftbe Constitution of the United States,
in relation to the choice ofa Cliieftllagistrate.
Upon this matter,I greatly doubted whether
it ‘might not be again my duty to appear
in the Senate,and extepd my feeble aid to-
wards produciiigan alteration in which great
iiiterest with tliepeoplc of the United States
. exists,and= on tvliicb the security of ourre
publican system may depend. But having
been advised ofa resolution ofyonr honoura-
- l-rle body, presenting again my name to the
.American people, for the office of chief Ma-
gistrate of this Union, I could no longer hesi-
tate on the co_urseI should pursue,doubt-yield-

General J..ckson arrived here yesterday
evening, and was waited on by a committee
from the Hotise of Assembly, appointed for
hire, in the Hall of Represeiitativi-s to-day, at
19?. o’clock. Accordingly, alrtlle before that
hour, he was again waited on by the commit-
tee, and conducted into the Hall, where he
was addressed by the two Speakers, in behalf
of the respective houses over which they pre-
sided. 'I‘o‘ these addresses the General made
a suitable a'u'd very appropriate reply. After
this ceremon_v had been gotten through with,
the General then liantletl in his resignation,
which was read by Mr. Speaker Brady, in the
presence of both Houses, and a very crowded
gallery. The scene was a solemn and impos-
ing oiie,atid was witnessed with the most pro-
found atieution. __It is impossible to describe
the iuterest3aurl feeling that the occasion iii-
spircd. The veteran was surr’ouri(ietl with
inauy ofhis most intimate arzquaintanccs, bo-
som friends, and comp-aniousin arms, front
whose eyes, as well as his own, the big hriny
drops were seen t'o steal. All regret lllS re-
'sign-atiou ; but, all aprove the motives which
have led to it.
Trade lo .flfrt'ca.——We learn fr. Baltimore
‘papers that books will soon be opened in that
city for stock to be invested in coinrnercial
intercourse with Africa, with a view of facilit-
ating the transportatiou to that country of the
free colored people of the U. States. The de-
sign oftliis intercourse is unfolded in the an-
nexed paragraph from the American:
Our object is to affortl facilities to the free
coloured people of l\_lar_vland, and of the U.
States, to procure their own~;ms_suge to the
land oftheir fathers‘, by opening a trade with
40,000,000 of inliabitants in ‘Africa; by stip-
plying them with the necessities of life, and
receiving the produce oftheir soil, instead of
slaves, in return. This benevolent object may
be effected. ’I‘bc exports fromthis country
will be "manufactured articles of small hulk ;
those received fr_or_n them, will be much more
vessels in this trade would be under the ne-
cessity of going otit in ballast, anti afford a
t';rvou.-able opportunity to colonists to procure
a passage. They would reduce the price to
Africa so low as_ to be within the reach of en.
cry culoietl person in America.
0:13/ssetrs‘s Cavc.—Dr. Howe,‘ who went
front Boston a few montlis since-to join the
Greek army,‘ gives the following description
ofthis singular retreat. . ' ‘
“ This cave or castle, is one oftbe greatest
natural curiosities in the world';_it is _a cave in
the air, ifl may so-call it. 'I‘he-only way of
getting access to the moutli of it, is by as-
cending a precipice of 300 feet, by four lad-
(ie,-sgong of which is drawn up before tlieiotlier
is letdown. The interior willhold a small
horly of troops very conveniently. Ulysses
had stocked it with" ainniunition, a-nd provi-
sionsrfor ten years. It is absolutely irn preg-
uajbie, the entrance being, so formed that no
cannon shot or shell can enter. In the inte-
rinr is a titre spring of water, which it is im-
possible to cut off.”
The description given by Madame de Gen,
lis of the scene which immediately followed
the murder oftbe Duke de Berri is very strik-
irrg :—“ The ladies of the Duchess de Berri,
who hastened to the spot at this fatal moment,
were in full dress,having just quitteil the ball.
They were covered with flowers and tinsel,
and in these dresses they surrounded the bed
of the dying Duke. A white robe, trimmed
with roses, which the Duchess wore, was lit-
erally soaked in blood, and the dresses of the
Princes were splashed in many places. At
the same moment not two paces frotn this
distressing scene, the Oprracontinued, and
the singing and dancing went on. When _the
door in the little saloon, whither the unhappy
Prince was at first carried, was opened to give
him some air, the snttnti oftbe Orchestra and
the violiuswas distinctly heard.”
PRESERVATION or APPLES.
The following valuable observations, con-
tained in a letter of Noah Webster, Esq. have
been published in the Massacliusetts Agricul-
tural Repository.
“ It is thepractice with some persons, to
pick apples in October, and first spread them
on the floor ofan upper room. This practice
is said to render apples more durable by dry-
mg them. But I can afhrm this to be a mis-
take. Apples, after‘ remaining on the trees
as long as safety froin the frost will admit,
should be taken directly from the trees to close
casks, and kept dry and cool as possible. ' If
suffered to lie on a door for weeks, they with-
er and lose their flavor, witlioui acquiring any
additional durability. The best method of
preserving apples for spring use, I have found
as picked. For this purpose, I dry sand in the
heat of sutmner, and late in October put down
the apples in layers, iwith at covering of sand
upon each layer. The singular advantage
of this mode of treatment are these :——lst.
The sand keeps the apples frotn the air,whicli
is essential to their preservation. 2. The
sand checks the evaporation or perspiration of
the apples, thus preserving in them their full
fiavoreat the satire time,any tuoisture yielded
by the apples, (and some tlrt-re will be) is ab-
sorbed by the sand ; so that the apples are
kept dry, and all inustiuess is prevented. M y
pippins in May and June,are as fresh as when
first picked ; even the ends of the stem look
as ifjust separated from the twig.”
Patent Grist Mill.——Among the many val
uable inventions of the present age, Bailey’s
Patent cast iron Grist Mill is said to elaini a
cer having requested intormaiiou as to its

.7V't'rtgrr.rri. Full3.‘—-An actofthe Legislature
ofNew' _York was obt:rine_d,(at the last session)
to authorize the making of a‘ canal round the
falls ofNiagara river, and opening a commer-
cial commrinication between Lakes Er ie and
Ontario. The distance in which the naviga-
tion is interrupted, (we are ‘lltf0l’tiltitl,) ‘is only
about seven urile.=,' terniiuaiing at Lewistou
where sloops from the lower lake arrive. In-
stead, however, of locking down the moun-;
tain ridge, (S000, feet,)~a rail way is proposed,
to be travelled-by wolerpower, and it is,estiru-
a_ted that about 150,800 dollars will effect the
object. The coinpany has also-the right to
use the water for alljkinds of hydraulic purpo-
ses, a matter ofgreat.-iniportance to the neigh-
boring'country, which, except at the Falls,
-very mrich needs such power ; and iftliis im-
provenient shall be effected, Lew-iston will, at
once, becoiue the ‘seat ofmany nianufactories
and the depot ofahlarge interior trade when
._the projected Oswego canal to the Mohawk
river, through'tl'ie_Oneitla Lake,shall be coin-
-pleted-.-as it proba.b_ly‘w'rl,l be ; because that
the increased population may soon require it;
and it is thought that this will be a cheaper
uiode for the traitspbrtatirrn of goods, than by
the great Erie canal‘. During the present
season, 7,000 barrels of ashes, from the west.-
fern region), have passed Lewiston for Montre
al——which, ifthese 'improvcn'rents had been
effected would have been forwarded to the
city ofNew York. And, when the Canadian
Welland canal, (intended to make a sloop
navigation betwe__en Erie and Ontario) is com
pleted, the quantity of the products ofthte
West, seeking a foreign market via the Saint
Lawrence, will, no doubt, he mightily increa-
sed. To prevent this, and to secure to our
own country every advantage that it should
rightfully possess, we earnestly wish the o-
pening ofmore avenues to the sea-board from
the interior ; and, with a passage round the
Falls of Niagara, the navigation of lake On-
tario to Oswego, and thence, by the Ononda-
git river and Oneida lake and a canal to the
Moliawlt, or to join the Erie canal, we should
have little to fear from foreign cotnpr-titioo,
even aided by the Welland Canal. Canada
is rapidty increasing in population and wealth,
and isso located, and may be sdimproved as
to carry offa valuable part ofthe trade-oftbe
western regions oftbe United States, if no:
counteracted by internal iniproveiuents.

.Melanch_olg_' Cafaslrophe.—An accident of
a very serious nature occurred some time
since in this State, ofwhicli there has been no
public notice. Some time in April last, M r.
John Da'wey,‘- of Riclimoud, Washington
county,-assisted by his wifc’s uncle, Mr. Josias
Lillihridge, set fire to a bush pasture for the
purpose of clcarriig it up. By accident the
fire communicated through a fence to a Wood,
anti got beyond their control, upon which it
boy was dcspatched for assistance to a factory
at shortdistance off. One of the owners of
the factory, Mr. Robert Reynolds, wi:h some
of lns workmen irrrrttediately repaired to the
spot. Soon after their arrival, Mr. Reynolds
discovered Lillibridge on the ground burnt in
a sliockirig" manner. So much so, that he
was uht:otisciorrs,aud must. have soon perished
«had not assistance been at hand. After con-
veying him to the house, and procuring suita-
ble attendance, search was made for Mr. John
Dawley, who had been seen a few minutes
before in the act of ~l'allmg. He was found
on being carried to the house survived hurt a-
bout 2. hours, leaving a widow and two child-

‘ Openirigr of the Erie, 0rmol.—Yesterday
being the day fitted upon for the first opening
oftbe whole line" oftbe Erie Canal, our vil-
lage, at an 'ea_rly ltoiir, was thronged with the
yeutifanry oftbe cotuitry, who, alive to the
subject, had assernbled in vast numbers to
witness tlie_attenda'ut ceremonies of starting
the first boat. _
At about 9,o’clock, A.'\I. the public pro-
cession began forming in front ofthe Court
House, in which "the various societies of the-
chauics appeared with tlieappropriate badges
and banners to distinguish each, the whole
preceded by the Bul'l'.rlo Band and Captain
Ratlibuu’s company ofRifir:ineh,aiid followed
by the comtiiittet-.s, strangers, km. irfthe fol--
lowiug order, viz: Military Officers in tini-
form, Professional Men, Civil Officers, Gov-
ernor of the State, &z.c. ,
The whole when fortned, moved down
;\lain-street to the head of the Canal,‘ where
the Boat “Seneca Chic,/',’f elegantly, fitted,
was in waiting. Here the Governor, Lieut.
Governor, the New York Delegation, with
the various comiuittees. fr-rnn different villa-
ges, including that of Brill’-alo, were received
on board, and after fntrtiial iutrotluctioirs in
the open air, Jesse llawley, Esq. delivered a
patriotic address. Every thing being tiow
ready, the signal was given, and the discharge
Ola lltirty-two ponrirler from the brow ofthe
_Ttrrac’e announced that all was in readiness
and the boats-, under way! The “ Seneca
Chief,” of Buffalo, led offiu fine style, drawn
‘bl’ l."-ll” grey horses, faucifully caparisoncd,
and was followed by the “ Superior,” next to
which came the “. Commodore Pt-rry,”a
freight boat belon;;;ing,to the Pilot linc,tlie
rear being bro’t tip by the “ Buffalo” r_rfErie,
also .a freight boat of,;tlie V\"ashington line.-—.
The whole moved from the shore untlcr a dis-
cliarge of small anus. fr‘. the Rifle Company,
with music from the Band, and . tlie‘lourl and
reitct':tl.etl cheers front: the throng on shore,
which were returned by ' the companies .on
boarrl the vai'ious boats. -
'1‘he"procession was then re-formed, and re-
turned through Cayuga street to the Court
House, where Sheldon Smith, Esq. delivered
a'.wcll written and highly graiifyingaddrcss,
after which was sting by the choir to the .tune
of “ l-lail_Columbia,” an ode aidzrpietl to the
occasion. ' _ .
There being too great a concourse to be ac-
c_ornuiodatetl at any one public house, the
procession dividcd,oii leaving the court house,
dllCl the Corporation, Military rOfficeis, ‘&’.c.
dined at the Eagle Tavern, while the various
‘Mechanic Societics,l-my pfevioiis arrangements
of their own, sat down together at the Man-
siou House. - -
. The manner in which the “ Seneca Chief”
was fitted up by the committee does them
credit; nor can we omit a more particular
iiicutiori of two paintings which were execut-
ed here, and sent down on board. One was
:r view ofBuflalo harbor, a section of lake E-
rie, Biiffalo Creek, and its junction with the
canal, &c. the whole representing the scene
exhibited at the moment ofsiartiugihc “ Sen-
eca Chiel.’.’ The piece does cretht to the ar.-.
'tist.' The‘ other is purely a classic emblemat-
ical protltit:tiotr of the pencil, and is, so far as
our opinion-‘ will be taken, ati excellent design
for such an occasion. The piece, on the ex-
treme left, exhibits a figu re of Hercules, in a
sitting posture, lcattlttg upon his favourite
club, and testing from the severe labourjust
completed. The centre shows a section of
the canal, with a lock, and in the fore ground
is a full length figure of DE: Wrm‘ CLINTON,
clatl like a Roman, in the Tuga and sandals,
with head tiucovered aiitl hair cut short. He
is supposed to have just [long open the lock
gate-,and with the right hand extended (the
arm being bare) seems in the act of inviting
.\/‘eptum, who appears upon the water, to pass
through and take-possession oftbe watery re-
gions which the canal has attached to his for-
mcrdoininions. The god of the sea is upon
the right of the piece, and stands erect, in his
chariot of shell, which is drawn by sea horses,
‘rug with his body as itconfoiindcd by the fact
disclosed at the opening of the lock. Naiads
are sporting around the sea horses, in the wa-
ter, who as well as the horses themselves seem
hesitatiug, as if lialfafraid they were about to
invade forbidden regions not their own. The
artist is Mr. Catlin, miuiirturc portrait painter,
now in this village ; and we tliiuk the design
.rlone,'to say nothing ofthe execution would
do great credit to any individual.-
Besides the-paintings the boat carried two
elegant kegs, each with an eagle upon it, a-
bove aud below which, were the words “ Wo-
These were filled from
the Lake, aird on arrival at New York, will
be emptied into the Ocean. We mentioned
in the enumeration of boats only those which

CELEl3Il.A'l‘l()N AT NEW-YORK.
The splendid exhibition which took place
yesterday, to celebrate the completion of the
Erie Canal, we believe entirely-surpassed the
public expectation. The day was remarkably
warm and pleasant, atid very favourable for
such a display, except that a light mist in
the morning partially obscured the procession
on the water. -i
