gmeable, He sat wlthus two or three hours,’
and was so kind .as to show us all the letters,
ivliich had pa§sed.betw'een hitn, the Duke of
Wellington, Mr. Canning, and Lord Liver-T
bool, respecting his invention of steam-g,uns.;
" They pay a high _compl'irnent to his inge-
i'iuity,'and, after visiting his mamifactory, _exg
less a favorable opinion as to the practicabil-
iy of this’ iiirlde of warfare. The Duke of
Wellington 're,r‘narked, that he saw no reason-
wh y it should not produce a new era in .mil_i~
tary science; andhe thought no troops could
be broughtup to face a park of-artillery, dis-
_charging a shower of _shot with such rapidity.
This is high authority, which the two min-.
isters concur. The invention will be equally
effective by land and. sea. A ‘public experi-
tneht was to be tried in Regeiitls Park on the
6th of December, at which the staff of the ar-
my and the great men of the.metropo_lis were
to be present. No doubt was entertained as
to the result, not that steam will at no distant
period supersede the use of gunpowder.
Invited by the comforts of the hearth, Mr.
Perkins entered somewhat at length into phi-
losophical and mechanical speculations, giv-
ing the result ofhis experiments in hydraulics,
to prove the compressibilitygog‘ water. His
investigations have led liim_f§,tj,“__ full convic-
"on, that the ocean at the’§de’pt it five hun-
dred miles from its surface cease ,, o’be‘liquid,
becoming from more pressure a solid, dense,
_tnas's of matter, constituting the central por
tions of the globe. He related an. amusing
atiecdote connected with this subject. Soon
after his arrival in London. he went one eve -
tiirig lo listen tothe insiructioiisofa Professor
‘jot’ Philosophy.‘ The subject of" the Lecture
appened to be liydraulics, in which the in»
compressibility of water was inc_ulc-ited as an
axiom. At the close of the exercises the A-
tnerictm Philosopher entered into ii discussion
‘nfttie point with the professor. and so fully
satisfied him ofthe falsity ofthe axiom, that,
fun the following evening he had the candour
ib retract his doctrines, and give another lec-
ture to his class oti the compressibility ofwa-
(er. M r. Perkins also gave us a detail of his
experiments, which were successful, for con-
necting air into a permanent visible liqnid.-
In short, he seems to play with the elements;
and above all, has been the first to bring into
complete subjection the fiery and intractable
wet‘ ofsteam.
_ This gentleman takes a lively interest in the
Inventive genius of his countrymen, to whom
his situation in the focus of mechanics, his ac-
ijtiaiiitarrce with London, and above all his
ownlexperience enable him to afibrdgreat as-.
sistance. He spoke in very favourable terms
-‘ofthe inventioir for converting iron into stcel
by a simple process, entertaining no doubt _of
its sticcess, nor that the patentee will realise
an immense fortune. The celebrated banker
Goldschniidt has purchased one quarter of.the
patent for £10,000, and says he would _not
part with it for ten times that amount. If my
information is corr-'ect, the real inventor has
been defrauded ofthe reward ofliis ingenuity,
and another‘ person is likely to reap the profit.
An anecdote was related to us ofa Phila-
glelphiau in London, who has an invention
for extracting calculi. I have examined the
ingenious instrument, and witnessed the rite-
thod of using it. lfit shall succeed, it will
supersede the horrible operation oflithoioiny.
Like many men of genius, the inventor is not
in afliuent circumstances, and on that account
met with some difficulties in securing the ben-
efits ofhis skill and industry. One of the
most distinguished physicians in London, af-
ter examining the. apparatus and satisfying
himself ofitstrierits, sat down and wrote a
checkifor £500, handing it to our country-
for'i‘n a source ofprofit, the money might be
reiuiided: butifnot, he w:iuld‘plcasetocon-
sider it as a gratuity. Such acts of liberality
do more to subdue national prejudices than
all the wars which were ever waged.

~ The following‘veryinteresting account ofa
conflict that took place during the French
war, is froni'itl_ie pen of Mr. Hill, Editor of the
New Hampshire Patriot. It was given him
by some of the survivors of the celebrated
corps of Rangers, and was called to mind on
a recent visit to Lake George, the scene of
the exploit here described.—-lflirtjbrd Times-
“From a great mass of facts relating to the
Rangers which are detailed, I shall only give
the following: Gen. Ambercromhie in 1757,
conimaneled the English and American troops
and had his head quarters at Fort Edward,
which was situated on the Hudson, foiirteeti
miles from Fort “William Henry at the head"
of Lake "George, andof cours, ,aboi.g fifty

Putnam, in compliance, postedfifhf e on the
bank of Wood Creek, near its entrance into
South Bay. On this bank, forming ajuttiug
iecipice ten or tW{6lV9 lee! above the water,
he erected a stone parapetthirty feet inlength
and masked it with young pine trees cut at a
distance and so artfully planted as to imitate
the natural growth. Distress. for the means
of stistenaiice obliged him to deviate front a
rule‘ he had adopted,never to fire a gun except
at an enemy, by shooting a duck which had
jumped into the creek: about ten o’clock the
sanie everiing, as a supposed consequence of
the alarm, a fleet of bark canoes filled with
mcii was discovered steering towards the
mouth ofthe creek. .-“he Sentinels were cal-
led in, and every man ordered to his post.-—
-".l‘he creek which the enemy entered, is about
six rods wide, and the batik opposite the par-
tlpct was about twenty feet high. ‘ While the
‘boats were passing the place of concealment,
zi stone: the leading Indian in the van heard
the noise, and several times repeated the
"'.~'v'ltlClI-WOl'd, Owish.’ The canoes huddled
together, and the Indians appeared as if in
consultation. Maj. Putnain had given strict.
orders to his soldiers not to fire until he should
set the example. He discharged his piece-
“‘“Jl_ll.red also. Nothing could exceed the
t"f)l‘.luSl0n and dismay occasioned by this at-
tack. The enemy, finding 'Putnam’s party

slain at least. five times their riumber,only one
provincial and one Indian were wounded on
their sides. The enemy, it was afterwards
ascertained, consisted of five hundred French
and Indians under the command of the cele-
of the party oftlie French which went out
never returned. Information of Putnatn’s
critical situation was sent to Fort Edward,
and General Lyman was detached with 500
men to cover his retreat; Putnam tnet this

which the party arrived with the loss of but

come INTO THE COUNTRY.
The following isa part ofa sketch in the
Commercial Advertiser, of ‘a projected excur-
sion in the country.
" My dear,” said Mrs. Artful to her loving
spouse one day, as he came in fatigued from
his business, to dinner—-—" My dear,” said she,
with a sweeter sniile than she had. cast‘ upon
him for a ttvelrrenionth--—‘-" Don't you think
my complexion has looked rather bilious for
.1 few‘ weeks past .9” ,-
. “ Why no, my dear,” said her htisbaiid,
fondly patting her under the chin, and little
dreamiiig to what this sudden gust ofaffection
was to lead-—“ no my dear,” said he, fondly
pressing her to his bosom, and implanting a
fervent kiss upon her lips-—“I have rarely
known you look so well in the summer for
many years. You dnii’t feel ill my dearl
hope, to-day P The weather has been so de-
lightfully cool for the last month, and the at-
mosphere so bracing and elastic
“ Not exactly sick,” said Mrs. Artful before
her husband had time to finish his commend-
ation ofthe weather—-“ btrt then you know
Lniy dear,” (not regarding what he was saying)
“ that it is so unhealthy and disagreeable to
spend the whole summer in the city. And so
I’ve been thinking whether we could not take
a trip to the springs, or to Niagara,just to get
a little fresh air. Besides, Mrs. Flyabout has
just dropped in and she is going to make up a
line party. Mrs. Silverheela and her two sis-
ters and the datigliters who married Mr.Short-
staple at the South, are to be oftlie company,
and they have invited us to go along.”
“Why my dear,” said Mr. A. you must be
aware that the times are hard. You know I
endorsed forold Souchong,his brother-in-law
Dashall, and his hopeful sou~in-law Bob Tari-
dem, and have had it all to pay. And be-
sides, the apostle hiinsclfwas not more incrim-
bered with “ bcuds,’_’ than I am with the
“ Life and Fire.” S’death ! -I might as well
have died and been burnt up atoncc myself.”
“ But. my dear,” rejoined the wife, “ your
business is good-—your last cargoes sold well ;
you sold out your stocks before ‘the troubles
came ou,and you are getting over your losses:
and then the cliiltiren—Em'ily and Catharine,
St: George, and Frederick-——-dear littte souls—-
have not been well these three weeks. They
should be taken into the country. lvecan
leave them with their Uncle Hardenbrook, at
Saugeties, where they can breath and frolick
‘in the fresh air. It will be so delightful.”
“ My dear,” said the husband earnestly,
3 we cannot afford it. The children would
be well enough ifthey were not indulged in
every thing they cry for, and stuffed with poi-
sun in the shape ofgreen fruit and green corn.
It is truel have thus far been able to meet
my notes; but I have had to shift and turn
every way, and have already shinn’d it so
tnuch that I am ashaitied to be ‘seen in Wall-
street. And then there are the bills for
schooling, and the music bills, and the French
teacher, and the dancing tnasier—the convex
mirrors for the parlour, and the ninety dollars
you know, for your last Cashmere shawl-—-all,
all, must be paid next week. Indeed I——l
hardly know”--
“ Oh, how you are always pleading poverty
whenever I want to be gratified with a jaunt
in the country for a few days. There’s Mrs.
Gossamer and Mrs. Fundable, and Mrs. Yard-
stick, have been taking their pleasure in the
country these three weeks—and here I am so
oppressed for breath—-and the dear little
ones too--and nothing but Manhattan water
as salt as Lot’s ivife”--
“ But do hear to reason wife. IfGossamer
would pay me fortlie last dozen cases ofsilk
she bought of tne.—-or if Fundable would not
charge me three per ct. a month to pay other
people’s debts—or if my business was all profit
and no risk, like a draper’s,then I" would think
ofit. At present however, Ido not think it
would be exactly honest to”-—
“ Honest! Why, Mr. Artful, need you be
our acquaintances have failed si-rice the last
year : and most oftheni are now travelling to
Catskill and Lake George, and Lebanon, as
though nothing had happened. I don’t see
for my part, why you should slave yourselfto
death and keep me and the children shut up
in the city allsummer long, when it is as hot
as an.oven.”
“ But I say again wife,I cannot afford it.— -
If we do I must borrow the money from old
Gripus-—and then if those bills should be re-
turned fromEngland with a protest at their
tails, we shall he”—-- ' ’ '
“‘.i‘lien you’ll be as well olfas your neigh-
bors,’l replied the lady, with much less sneer-
ness of manner than she commenced. this dia-
logue. “ Besides. I0 be plain about the mat-
ter, I have promised to go, and havetliis trier-
niug purchased travelling dresses for the chil-
dren, which Mrs. Ghnp and the two Misses
Buckraius have engaged to have all finished
beforethe boat goes to tnorrow evening. So,
you see go we must, or I shall be disgraced.

would be infinitely more to my advantage.-
