NETCALFE'S PENETRATING HAIR BRUSHES, for A Full and Correct ACCOUNT, of the Chief NAVAL OC CURRENCES Of the late WAR between GREAT BRI TAIN and; the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, pre ceded by a Cursory Examination of the American Accounts, of their Naval Actions fought previous to that period; To which is added an Appendix, with plates. By WILLIAM JAMES. all kinds of Uses. T HE Universal Reception and Unbounded Pa tronage (beyond all parallel) given to these New In.; vented . BRUSHES, by all Ranks in Society, is a wonderful instance of their excelleLce over every other Implement for Cleansing the Head from Scurf, thereby strengthening, beautifying, and promoting the growth of the Hair. As HORSE BRUSHES, they are approved and recom mended by Professor" Colman: ,They are alike esteemed ft-n -ull kinds of Personal Uses, as for all Domestic Purposes, - wherein a greater degree of cleanliness will prevail, and cam bine economy with expedition. They are also of the greatest consequence for, Mannfactura'and Machinery, and are highly appreciated by a number of the first artisans in the cunn try, the superiority of the Patent Brushes is so great, that comparisoni all others are wholly useless; as will be proved on trial. Patent Brushes are warranted free from whalebone, or any' adulteration, aud'at the saute price as genuine Brushes here tofore made. The title of the present Work will sufficiently shew • the 'general nature of its contents. We should be - very sorry, now that peace has taken place, - and we hope will long continue, between us and the United States of America, to give en couragement to any work that might tend to dis turb the present harmony, but the honour of our Navy is vitally dear to us, and we deem it an essential part of our duty to atford all possible op portunities to those who intend to render j9, , ,tice to that.distinghished branch of our national de fence. It is the object of the work before us to detect and expose the attempts that have been made to place American heroism and naval skill above the same qualities and attainments of our own gallant Sons of Neptune, and the Author, who was some :time, a prisoner in the United States, and has had considerable experience in naval matters, has possessed various and ample sources of intelligence. He seems to have been actuated by nobler motives than pecuniary advan -rage in this work, as it must have been published at .a great expenee, particularly when we cousiuer the number of plates which it contains.

As there was a peculiar excess of- vaunting arro gance on the part of Commodore. Ronoeas, the American Commander of the President, and as much illiberal abuse was thrown upon our Plan taganet, we shall subjoin an extract from the work hefote us on that subject. It should be observed, that so persuaded are the Americans that it was ,the Plantaganet, and • not the Loire, that fell in with the President off New York, ,ghat the cele brated Commodore BARNEY, when in London, a few months ago, maintained a warm argument upon the subject. The joint declarations of Of ficers beloriging to British ships, at last convinced him, and he pi:omised that as soon as lie returned to the United States - he would expose the bragging cowardice of Commodore RODGERS. It does not appear that he has kept his word. It is hut jus tice to as gallant a crew as ever stepped on a ship's deck; to clear the Plantaganet from the charge : . "The President sailed upon her third crnize, from Providence, Rhode Island, on the sth of December, 1813 ; and arrived at Sandy- h ook on the evening of the 18th of February : a period of seventy-five days. .Commodore Rodgers dates his official letter on the 19th, and the following is its concluding paragraph :—" From the Dela ware 1 saw nothing, until I made Sandy-hook, when I again fell in. with another of the enemy's squadrons ; and, by some unaccountable cause, wa's permitted to enter the bay, a:though in the presence of a decidedly superior force, after hav ing been obliged to remain outside seven hours and a half, waiting for the tide." This " unaccountable" story required some thing to back it. Accordingly, the following more circumstantial account appeared in the " Naval Monument."* " A private letter from an officer on hoarl the 'resident states thus :—" Situations in which we lave been placed this cruize, will add lustre to e vell•established character of Commodore Rodgers."—" After passing the light, saw several sail, one large sail to windward ; backed our main-top-sail, and cleared ship for action. The strange sail came down within gun•shot, and hauled her wind on the starboard-tack. We con- tinned with our main-top-sail to the mast three hours ; aini, seeing no probability of the seventy tour gun ship's hearing down to engage the Pre sident, gave her a shot to windward, and hoisted our colours ; when she bore up for us, reluct antly. When within halt gun-shot, backed his main-top-sail. At this moment, all hands were called to muster aft ; and the commodore said a few but impressive words, though it was unne cessary ; for, what other stimulant could , 'true Americans want, than fighting gloriously, in the sight of their native, shore, where huncireds were assembled 'to witness the_ engagement. Wore ship to enage ; but, at this moment; the cutter being discovered coining back, backed' again to take in the pilot ; and the British 74 (strange as it must appear) making sail to the southward and eastward. Orders were given to haul a-board the fore and main tacks, to run in ; there being then in sight, from our deck, a frigate and gun-brig. The commander of the '74 had it in his power, for five hours, to bring us at any ttoment to an engagement ; our main-top-sail to the mast (lur ing that tithe." . " It was," says the editor of the Naval Monu ment, " afterwards ascertained, that the ship which declined the battle with the President was the Pldntaganet 74; Capt. Lloyd. The reason given by Captain Lloyd for avoiding an engage- * A celthrated American publication, so entitled. meat was, that his Crew were in a state a Mo-. p. -232.) " This is a•most atrocious libel upon the officers and crew of 11. M. S. Plantaganet ; which ship had lett Sandy-hook aboo a fortnight previous to the arrival of Commodore Rodgtrs. Scarcely a ship the Service was so well maimed as the Piantaganet. In proof ot this, Captaiii Lloyd had .a boat's crew of 27 men, taken in the Che>a peake; and yet nekber promises, threats, nor ill usage, could induce one of them to desert: S o sensible we re th e L o rd s of the Admiralty of this gmui behaviour of these men, that they had al special leave granted, and the coxswain was pro moted. This is tire crew that the editor of " Naval Monument" says, " Were in :4 state of. mutiny."—N;ty, the editor of the " Sketches of the War" clinches the whole, by stating, that " Captain Lloyd, after returning to'Eugland, ac counted for his conduct, by alleging a mutiny in his ship ; and had several of his suitors . tried and executed upon that charge"!l " Although the world at large, and the reflect ing part of the American people, treat the thi , !4 -as a, gasconading puff, it siill stands recorded among the aichives at Washing , on, that a Bri tish 74 gun ship declined engaging an American frigate. What then was the British ship which was cruizing off the Hook, when the Presidtnt arrived there ?—The Loire, of 46 gun, Captain Brown. This ship chased the 'President, till she got close in ; when Captaiu Brow), having - an eye to the batteries at-Sandy-hook, anel.the gun boats which he knew, were stationed tsithiu-< de, hove-to. The' Loire's crew, at this time, neitig reduced, by manning prizes, to 130 men and 20• boys,-40 of the former unable, from sickness, to attenttr heir quartets,--none hut a madman would have thought of 6,4litiog such a ship as the Pre sident. Fortunately for the Loire, Commodore Rodgers, with all his boasting, was less anxious• to give baffle, than to reach,. New York its safety." ROMAN CATHOLICS. The following article, which skews that the Catholics or Ireland even dare - to (limb , tho !nfullibility of the Pot's, and will not suffer any interference of the BRITISH CROWN, IS a 101 l an swer to those who advocate Purist; CLAIMS for Political rower. It is signed by all the Irish Pre- ates At a Meeting of the Irish Roman Catholic Prelates, held in Dublin, on the , Mel and 24th of August, 1815, the Most Reverend Doctor O'KELLY ia the Chair—the following Re solutions were unanimously agreed to : • " Resolved—That it is our decided and conscientious con s victim], that any power granted to the Grown of _Great nil- VIA of interfering' direct lv or indirectly in the appointment of Bishops for the Boman Catholic Church in Ireland, must essentially injure, and.may eventually subvert th , Roman Catholic Religion in this'Country. " Resolved—That with this conviction deeply and unalter ably impressed On our minds, we should conceive ourselves at betraying the dearest interests ut that portion of the Church, which the Holy Ghost has confided to our care, did we no: de clare most unequivocally, that we will.at all times,-and under all circumstances, depreciate and oppose in every Canonical and Constitutional way, any such interference. • " Resolved—That though we sincerely venerate the Su, preme'Poutiff, as visible Head ut the Church, we do not con ceive that our apprehension for the safety of the Roman Ca tholic Church in Ireland'can or ought to be removed, by any determir.atiom of his Holiness,' adopted, or intended to be adopted, not only without our concurrence, but in direct op position to our repeated Resolutions, and the very energetic Memorial presented on our behalf, and so ably supported by our Deputy, the Most Reverend Dr..Mnrray, wh• , in that quality, was more competent to inform his Holiness of the real state and interests of the Roman Catholic Chnrch in Ireland, than any other with whom he is said to have consulted. " Resolved—That a Declaration of these our sentiments, respectful, firm, and decided, be transmitted to the Holy See ; which, we. trust, will engage his Holiness, to feel and acknowledge the justness and propriety of this our de termi atiun. " Resolved—That our grateful Thanks are due, and here by given, to the Most Reverend Dr. Murray and the Right Reverend Dr. Milner, our late Deputies to Rome, fur their zealous and able discharge of the trust reposed in them. • " OLIVER O'KELLY, President." BRIDGE ACROSS TUT SWALE. The erection ►►f a Bridge over the Swale, cvl►ich divides the Isle of Sheppy *from the main land of : Kent, has long been a most desirable object, both oil account of the essential utility of such a com munication to the public establishments at .heer ness, now likely •to become one of the most val - able of all our Naval Depots, and of its conve nience to the inhabitants of the Island and County at large. On the 20th inst. a Meeting of the principal proprietors and inhabitants of the Island was held at Sheerness, JAMES CHALK, Esq. in the Chair, to take a proposal on the subject into con sideration,- when it was unanimously resolved to open a Subscription for the erection of a Bridge and Causeway at or near-Elmley Ferry, which, in the opinion of the Meeting, is the Most proper place for uniting the Island to the main land 3 and - to bring a Bill into Parliament for the purpose, as soon as a sufficient sum shall be subscribedto jus tify a reasonable expectatiohthat the proposed undertaking will be ultimately carried into effect. The exertions of the Chairman, Mr. Chalk, in for warding this important object - , which have beets in tt singular degree zealous, able, and persaver• iog, and pursued. with much public spirit through many - opposing obstacles, received a well-merited tribute of thanks from the Meeting. The expence, as estimated, will be 20,0001., and the shares by . which it is proposed to raise this sum are 0f.50/. each. A great many shares have, we understand, been already taken, and Government have libe rally contributed to the materials necessary for the work, by a grant of the Fly Bridge at Chat ham and five mooring lighters. GAS LIGHTS.—A proposition is on foot for establishing a Gas Light Company in Worcester ; a considerable number of shales have been already subscribed for.
