OF rniescßrixe BOOKI DEPRED:ITIONS OF WORMS AND S E CTIA. - - There is a very small insect that in the month of Au gust lays its eggs in books, and vpecially n those leaves rear the cover. From these eggs proceed a sort of mites, very like those bred in cheese, which change their state ! and become beetles, and when the time of transformation approaches. they endeavonr to get air, and cat their way through tiTtheihave gained the extremity of the book. To give these mites a disrelish for books, the paste which the binders make use of, and which is supposed chiefly to attract them, has often been mingled with bitter substances, as wormwood, coloquintida, &c. without any success. !Mineral salts, to which all insects have an aversion, afford the only remedy. The salt called arcanum duplicatum, allure and vitriol, arc proper for this purpose. By min gling therefore a small quantity of any of t h ese mineral! salts in the paste, books will be effectually preserved from the attacks of all sorts of worms and insects. M. Prediger, in his Instructioris to Bookbinders, printed at Leipsic, hi the German language, in 1741, says, that if binders were to make their piste of starch instead of flour, worms would not touch this books. Ile also directs pul allum, mixed with a little fine pepper, to be strewed between the bookiind the cover, and also upon the shelves of the library • and for the more effectual preservation of the books in libraries, he advises rubbing the books well, is the months of March, July, and Septtnnber, with a woollen cloth dipped in powdered allum. And it were to b- wished that for the future all boukbiuders would make their paste in the manner recommended, but I would not advise depending upon starch without any admixture of mieeral salts. It Is remarkable, that worms seldom attack books printed on Ettlish made paper. - --- DINTON WAKE. On Monday last, the annual Wake was held at Dinton, tw many years the residence of the Merles, the ancient owners of the Manor, and of John Bigg, [he' noted Hermit, who in the earlier part of his life was clerk to Simon Ilsyne; the regicide, who acted as a justice of the peace. The fineness of the day attracted more than an usual por tion of " beauty and fashion" from the neighbouring vil lages. and appeared to give the fair-folks a greater relish 'foe the entertainments prepared for them.

ECONOMI OF THE LARDER. I From the ►'aattti, tirade ef Hasa.] In order to have your things sweet and good, your larder ought to have a free current of air strmnitng through it at all times, for if the air tover stagnate, the least corrupt par tick of uncut or vegetable that is suspended in it will become like a blue-bottle fly, a ready incerument of its own propa gation, and may goon corrupt and spoil half the things you have stored. If you cannot therefore have a stream of air from opposite windows, you must procure it by means of a flue from the outside. Your meat should not on any laccount be exposed to what the chemists term and consequently the larder must be sheltered from the' sun, and in order to have an equable hest we should re commend a northern situation. _ _ When you have not a proper place for a laftler in your house, as often happens in modern town-hou.. s. you should procure a hanging-safe. and put it up in an airy situation. Joints of meat may and ought, in general, to he exposed. in the hider or safe, to currents of air, till their tough parts have become tender, which they cannot be without this process of hanging. We have an easier or at least a shorter way of managing game or poultry, by which these can be prepared for the kitchen, when any emergency re quires their presence—tamely, to lay them when t'rcrh killed in a heap of wheat, when they will become tender and palatable in about forty-eight hours. In the case of game, when the weather is very warm, it is an excellent device to put a stopper of charcoal in the vent, with s string tied tightly round the neck. It is the property of charcobl to take up all putrid matter, u a sponge takes up water, and by testing advantage of this property you may shills preserve your meat sweet though it be almost dissolving by keeping. The same valuable property of charcoal may be turned to good advantage in cooking meat a little tainted, which being boiled along with some charcoal, will be rendered not only sweet and wholesome, but it will be more tender, and therefore more, digestible than if it had from the first been free from taint. It is quite a vulgar error, indeed, that tainted meat is un-' wholesome, for the stomach hss the power of radaring even the most putrid meat almost instantly sweet, as was proved by the ingenious experiments of 1)r. Fordyce and Mr. stark. Another secret worth knowirr , is, that when meat is tainted in an extreme degree, and Which we have novr l shewn you is not unwholesome, that you mar at once destroy its unplvasant flavour and odour by washing it first in cold water, then in strong amanile• tea, afterwards sprinkling it with salt and pepper, and it will be fit to be dressztl on the following day. The new discovery of the parolizneutos acid may also be advantageously employed in the larder for preserving meat,' and also for recovering what has become tainted. It is best arplie.l to the meat by means of a brush, or the meat may be plunged into it for a few s2conils. In this way you may keep cutlets, kidneys, liver, and rabbits, as long as you please; as fresh as on the day when they were pro cured from the market. You know that smoked, provisions will keep a■ long as it is desired, while those merely dried in a stove will not. The reason is, that the smoke con tains the pyroliemeous sell, or vinegar and oil of wood, whose preservative properties arc so remarkable. Keep ing meat immersed in molasses has also the effect of pre serving it as long as you please. ON TIIE BE:IU7'Y OF THE TEETH. " Ile who pays no attention to his teeth, by this single neglect betrays vulgar bentiments."—Larater's Essays on Physiognomy. Nothing is more pleasing than clean teeth, and gums the colour of the rose.—nothing more disagreeable than foul, black teeth, thickly encrusted with tartar ; this sight alone is sufficient to excite disgust, the most beautiful face being repulsive, if the lips, when they open, exhibit the slovenly spectacle of neglected teeth. It was, therefore, a just ob servation of Lavater, that the mere sight of the teeth is capable of giving us a perfect insight into the character of a person, and that foul teeth announce vulgar senti ments. Sweet breath depends in a great measure on good teeth : good, in order to perfect mastication of food—sound, that they may not impregnate the alimentary substances with a vitiated and unwholesome juice. The good condition of the teeth is equally necessary for the formation of the voice and the articulation of words ; vacancies more or less coneidisrable are always injurious to the phihnottes of pro.] nunci .tioh and the harmony of speech ; indeed Cicero corn pared the teeth with the strings of an instrument, which modify the sound. The interest of beauty, above every other, imperiously enjoins the preservation of the teeth. The teeth have not only their particular beauty, resulting I from regularity, form, and whiteness, hut they also neces sarily contribute to the general beauty of the figure. When they are gone, the lips and cheeks, deprived of their natural support which they receive from them, fall in, and exhibit the not very pleasing image of premature old age. flow many reasons thus combine to induce the fair sox in particular to bestow the greatest care on the preser vation of thewe valuable organs. Attention to the cleanliness of the mouth is the first medium for keeping the teeth sound, and preventing tooth ache. To this end, nothing more is necessary than In trash tle•nt (eery dad with price wader, which is nut No cc!J, or Ti:11 salt water. Hot water must never be used for this lotion. But it is white teeth that are more particularly the ob ject of the ambition of females; and to gratify this wish, a multitude of receipts have been invented. Many of these are very pernicious, inasmuch as they tend to destroy the enamel, which especially contributes to the solidity of the teeth. Among these dangerous nostrums must, in the first place, be reckoned those deptrifices, elec:uarics, and opiates, which contain corrosive powders, such as emery, pumice -stone, &c. These powders wear off' the enamel by friction. In the next class may be placed those tinc tures, spirits, and elixirs ' which contain a mineral acid, and which chemically effect the destruction of the enamel, by dissolvitig it. We understand that his Majesty's pardon was last night received at Newgate for 'William Ramsden Robinson, the young man whose case has excited so much interest. Sr. KAIIII:RINE'S Citartiry Senooes.—The anniver sary of this laudable institution was celebrated on Saturday evening, at the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, when a nu merous and respectable company sat down to dinner; Mr. liyng, M.P. in the Chair, supported by several gentlemen of distinction. The objects of the Charity are, to clothe 1 and educate forty boys and twenty girls annually ' • the boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic , and psalinody; and the girls, reading, writing, and needlework. They are also instructed in the principles of the Established Church, and tuade useful for trades and services. After the cl.otb was removed, A'ea ]'obis Portia . was sung, and the usual toasts were given. In the course of the evening, the child ren educated by the Charity were introduced before the company : their appearance was clean, healthy, and hue ' resting in the extreme, and excited much sympathy. After walking in procession round the room, the whole of them 'joined in singing an ode expressive of gratitude towards their benefactors. Several speeches were made by Mr. Byng, Sir 11. Taylor, and other gentlemen; and Messrs. Bryant, Gibbon, &c. in the course of the evening enlivened the company with some excellent songs. The company did not separate till a late hour. .Inn. lira I. AND STE Allf.-•••-SUnliay last it was impos sible to approach Lower Thames-street by any of the lanes or avenues, without being beset by several persons who forced cards on the pawners similar to those used at I elections with, " Are you going to Margate ?" and thus we were annoyed until erriving at the Tower Stain, when cards, in numerous quantities, pound in on every indi vidual, bearing the names of the various steam vessels. The intolerable nuisance was continued for a length of time, to the no small vexation of those anxious to get on board.: Upon inquiry we ascertained its cause to proceed from an opposition similar to that of stage-coaches, arising from one of the vessels, the London Engineer, running to 1 Margate at a less fare than other steam-vessels, whose proprietors, determined to compete against her with " giant strength," started two ves..els, the Eclipse, and the Venus, to the 'Sore, at the same price, on Sundays only ; and on last Sunday the opposition was so violent, that the various streets were more like a fair than anything else, in cone- I quence of the various ads soliciting passengers, not in the naiint manner. On the cause of the opposition being traced, however, it seemed to have the effect of filling the Engineer, which obtained double the quantity of pawn / gers to the others. The nuisance. however, was extremely great, and ought certainly to be avoided in future. THE ARmr.

Mcdland, in taking the likeness of one of those per. sons. gave him • peculiar tic of th e cravat and appearance of the shoulders, which he would prove to have been copied by the de. Pendants. The next subject fur consideration would be the damage sustained by the plaintiff, in having his hopes disappointed of mak , ing a considerable sum from the public eunosty to have possession 1 1 of - the portraits of these criminals. Every one knew that the por trait of Blood, who attempted to steal the Crown, was more an ob i inn of curiosity than that of Charles 11. the rightful owner of the Crown. So it was in this case, and he hoped, that because the par ties were criminals, It would not be considered therefore that their portraits were of no value. The reverse was the fact, for it so hap. Ironed that public curiosity was often more excited by extraordinary eriselnah titan of persons of exalted virtue. The plaintiff had his rpeoperty stolen behind his back, and now claimed such fair compen sation aswould make amends for the loss he had sustained.
