Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Reading to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Oct. 26. "On Thursday last col. Lutze's battalion assembled under arms on the common, adjoining this place, amounting to 600 men; they were formed in two battalions, and drawn up opposite to each other, to represent an engagement. The Berks county troop of light dragoons, composed of 40 privates, commanded by capt. Strubing, was divided, and attacked by chosen infantry on the wings of the battalion. The whole went through various manœuvres, firings and skirmishing, with regularity and precision, to the entire satisfaction of their officers and a numerous assembly of spectators. Much praise is due to capt. Strubing, his officers and privates, for their uniformity in dress, accoutrements, and particularly their discipline. In the evening the officers of the militia and the gentlemen of the troop supped together, at Wilman's tavern."
Rhodes Rankin, master of the Schooner Rebecca, belonging to St. John's, New-Brunswick, and Henry Langmede, mate, about the 17th September, failed in the said Schooner from New-Brunswick, on their intended voyage to Wilmington, Delaware, having as a cargo on board a quantity of the plaiter of Paris, flh, and oil—On Friday the 10th ult. at 9 o'clock, P.

E. under a double reefed main-sail, and the bonnet off the jib, they could not fetch up with the Cape, and were obliged to come too; at 10 o'clock the vessel struck on the bar off the said inlet, and in half an hour her sails blew to pieces—In this situation they remained until about four o'clock the next morning; when 4 of the passengers, viz. a woman and 3 children, were washed overboard and drowned; about 11 o'clock the same morning they left the vessel on the said bar, where they beat to pieces, and they arrived at Wilmington in their boat on the 13th ult.
From an Alexandria paper. Federal Electioneering for VICE-PRESIDENT. General Knox, the former distinguished Commander of the Artillery of the United States, and the present able Secretary at War, is universally known to be a man of a well-organised head, and an honest heart. A correspondent informs us, that there is the strongest probability General Knox will have the votes of some of the eastern and all the middle states, for Vice-President. The same correspondent adds, that it is most earnestly wished this gentleman may be favored with the suffrages of Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, if, upon a candid examination into his character and circumstances, he shall be found more unexceptionable than any other candidate. As recommendations of a very impressive nature, it is mentioned that General Knox is a citizen of the respectable Commonwealth of Massachusetts, that he is subject to as few unreasonable prejudices as any man in the union, and that he possesses the entire confidence of the American Cincinnatus. Our correspondent hopes that such of our Brothers of the Type, as shall be convinced of the truth of these assertions, will not fail to give this paragraph a place in their papers.
On SUNDAY next the 9th inst. a CHARITY SERMON, will be preached, and a collection made in the forenoon, at St. George's Chapel, for the benefit of the CHARITY SCHOOL, in this city. An ANTHEM adapted to the occasion, will be sung by the Scholars.
The School at present consists of eighty-six Scholars, viz. fifty-six boys and thirty girls. The children are instructed in the principles of the christian religion and in psalmody; they constantly attend divine service at church on week-days as well as on Sundays, and the greatest attention is paid to their morals. The boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and merchants accounts; the girls are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and needle-work. They are all annually clothed, supplied with fuel, and furnished with books, paper, &c. The School is regularly visited the first Monday in every month, and the children carefully examined by a committee of the corporation of Trinity Church. When any of the Scholars are of a suitable age for dismissal, and duly qualified, they are sent to proper trades or services, and others taken in their places.
This excellent institution is earnestly recommended to the patronage of the benevolent and humane. Orphans and the children of indigent persons are hereby shielded from ignorance and vice, preferred from the influence of bad examples, and are qualified to be useful members of society. The support of this truly benevolent society is derived from voluntary donations, and collections at those sermons which are annually preached for the purpose. These circumstances, 'tis hoped, will interest every generous and feeling heart in its behalf, and stimulate the benevolence of its friends to contribute for its support.
From Michaelmas 1787 to Michaelmas 1788, seven boys and four girls having finished their education, were sent to trades, and two boys for misbehaviour have been expelled, and others taken in their places, so that the school is constantly kept full. N. B. Should the weather prove unfavorable the sermon will be postponed until the Sunday following. The several Printers in this city, are requested to insert

GEORGE APPLEBY.  WHITE MATLACK.  New-York, March 18.  COAL TAR.  A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and  clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just  arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by  Charles Wilkes,  No. 12, Hanover-square.  The Sole Agent in America for the British Tar  Company.  THE superior excellence of this Tar in pre-  serving the bottoms of vessels from the worms,  and in keeping them clean, has been proved by  repeated experiments. It has been also found to  be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought  iron from rust. A description of the different  kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the Bri-  tish Tar Company, and of the various uses they  may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with  directions for using them, may be had as above.  29th Sept. 1788.  THE following Certificate of an Experiment made  in New-York, is added for the information of the  Public. New-York, April 26, 1788.  WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on  or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van  Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city,  where we examined three pieces of timber, all of  the same dimensions, oneayed over with lord  Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other,  two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship  stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we after-  wards saw them all chained to and sunk along side  said wharf.  That nearly six months after, to wit, on the  5th of December following, we again attended at  said wharf, when in our presence they were all  taken up, and on examining them, the piece done  over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely  free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were  both very foul, one of them was almost covered  with barnacles; that on cutting them in several  places we found the worms in full possession of the  two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an  inch having escaped them. The piece done over  with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them,  and as found and fresh as when put down.  From the above experiment we are fully of  opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bot-  tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and  is worthy of the greatest encouragement.
