The following is an account of an ex
periment fordifting ships in dock, to put in
a new keel, which was tried for the firft time
on the Canopus, of 84 guns, in Plymouth
dock, last Friday, by Mr. Sibbins, the build
ers fiff t assistant : By means of wedges
driven against the blocks on each fide the
keel, and the use of the catapulta, or bat
tering ram, applied to them the blocks are
forced out much easier and with lefs.danger.
Fewer (hores are required to support the
ship, which also strains less, and haff as it
were in flings; by this fimpie operation,
forty men in 12 hours can perform as much
work as used to take, on the old principle;
three hundred men three days ; although
some ships in the old method of knocking,
out the blocks under the keel, have fettled
from eight to ten inches, the canopus only
fettled one quarter of an inch by this new
method. A numerous concourse of artists
and others attended to fee the experiment
tried on the Canopus, and were perfedly
fatisfied with its ufefulnefs and simplicity.

: THE BUTCHER'S REPENGE.
A fprnqe Macaroni, whose hair and whose clothes
Where the envy of fops, and the pattern of beax,
Look'd with fcorh on a butcher, in paffiug the
-street,?
And turn'd up his nose at the light of the meat,
S # OT the butcher, ? you pug, if you'd eat such as
} that,
"You'd honor your country, and grow plump
and fat!"
"Gregfy brute !" cried the fop ; then the butcher
enrag'd, +
Snatch'd a knife, and to punigh the coxcomb en
-: ' [gag'd.
Then siting prior Mac, who began to look pale,
He dock'd the fool's noddle, by clipping his tail.
“ Now, now," cried the butcher, " the people
may Rare,
" At a skull without brains, and a head without
hair !"
, A certain parson, not long since, in a neigh
boring town, was holding forth to his audience,
the exquisite tortures of hell —and among other
quo nations to fubllantiate his affections, said ' It is
a, lake which buroeth with fire and brimstone,"
ten thousand time's hotter than we can conceive
of.—A certain deputy fheriff, after meeting, ob
served to a bye-dander, that he thought the min
ister about as fit for a preacher as hell was for a
powder house.
A new.dock exchange is building in London,
Under which is placed an inscription fpecifiying
the amount of the National Debt. A wag, dis
Courting on the fubjeft, gravely observed that
c „he gentlemen concerned in the undertaking
with great wisdom and forefight in placing the
National Debt under their building ; for it is a
foundation that will not easily be removed."
WHERE will the creative genius of man flop !
—A Chorle, mechanic has invented a machine to
thrash, winnow and grind ; it will also churn,
fc rape potatoes, rock the cradle, and darn flock
ings !— He calls it The Good House Wife.
FROM falfe ambition and a love of fame, spring
half the calamities of life—Promifes are often made
to gain applause ; our expectations are raised,
and difappoinfed, by the sycophancy of proud
men, and offalfe friends—Be flow to promise ; —
let your promjfes be founded upon sincerity ; —
and whatever you promise, which is lawful, be
admonished by the faithfulness of the Dog, faith
fully to execute— Remember to perform thy vows
to the L*d, and thy promises to thy fellow men.
In one of the late provincial papers we notice
the marriage of Charles Nightingale, Esq. to Miss
Bg/finch. This connexion promises much harmo
ny ; and whatever noise the parties may make in
the cage, it will at lead be in concert. The Bul
finch. according to the nature of the creature,
may Sometimes mock her associate ; but will of
ten r have occasion to warble,
" 0 Nightingale, befl poet of the grove !
That plaintive flrain can ne'er belong to thee :
Blefl in the fall possession of thy love,
0 turn thyJelf,fweet Nightingale, to me."

SAMUEL PRESTON.
Amherfl, (N. H.) Off. It 1801.
" IT is, perhaps, as ridiculous in the obscure
writer of aiwnfigniticant Novel, to protefs that in
her fictitious difeuffions (he meditates no injury to
the exiting government of her country, or its rul
ers, as it would be in a mole, digging her dark
manfioH under the base of a mountain, to protest
she had not the least intention to overturn it. Yet,
in a moment pregnant with danger, and general
alarm, as it is the known property of fear for to
di(tort and magnify every object, that even the
harmless mole, seeking a habitation, may be mil
taken for cr treacherous pioneer ; and as all men
are depping forth to deciare their principles, ma
ny probable as .obscure and infignificant as her
felf ; on the just consideration that the ocean is
but an aggregate of (ingle drops, the authoress of
the following pages thinks there will be no im
propriety in declaring, that, though necessarily
led, by the personages of l^er drama, cursorily to
introduce some fubjefts lately muxh agitated, and
oppose opinion by opinion, yet, so far was (he
from intending to join her feeble voice to either
of those parties which, at prefect, divide a large
proportion of Europe, that her Novel was written
before those parties had displayed themselves.
“ A friend to freedom, but an enemy to licen
tiousness, (he contemplates in the happy constitu
tion of her native island, the heft exiting form of
government, for promoting the one, and checking
the other. That other nations, groaning under
the yok n of defpotifm,fhould seek to relieve them
selves from the intolerable pressure, she Cannot be
surprised to fee ; and if Inch revolutions are effect
ed upon liberal principles, conducted with hon
our and humanity, she will not dare.to censure.
But that a native of Britain, whose conUßution
might form a model for the new legiflatprs of oth
er nations, desirous of framing the minds of their?
fubjeßs, at once, to virtue and freedom, that he
should with to throw off the mild government of
its king, free himfelf from the military restraint
of Its laws, subvert all order, annihilate all subor
dination, that he may fubjeft himfelf, his dearest
jnterelts, his property, and his life, to the caprice
of a lawless mob, cannot fail of being matter of
amazement ,to every thinking mind—mutt be
deemed the most glaring insanity. Far be it from
the author of The Minstrel, to spread such a de
teftahle mania, or contribute to its baneful effects.
