"CROSS READING" RHYMES. From the Argus Western American, printed at Frankfort, Kentucky.
Argenta's charms shall fill my lays, If she can charms attain; Her graces I could ever praise, If they were ever seen.
Her eyes beam like the morning star, When anger makes them bright; Her form is most divinely fair, When shrouded from the sight.
Her lips attract the wond'ring gaze, When they a truth have said; Her cheeks a rosy bloom display, Whenever 'tis painted red.
The beaux and lovers on her gaz'd, When she had fix'd their sight; The astonish'd crowd are all amaz'd, When she acts right.
She has a kind and gen'rous mind, For her own happiness; Her heart is active, true and kind, When she its object is.
She m'd the soul that was distress'd, As she her sorrow ceas'd; No anger ever mov'd her breast, Unless she was displeas'd.
Her comrades' virtues she commends, When 'tis to them she speaks; She never scandaliz'd her friends, Unless behind their backs.
She from ambitious deeds, forbears, When they're beyond her reach; And never tattles, games, or swears, When she remains in church.
Oh! was Argenta but my wife, If I could pray for sorrow; I then would love her all her life, If she would die to-morrow.
Observations on the influence of Soil and Climate upon WOOL; from which is deduced a certain and easy method of improving the quality of English Clothing Wools, and preserving the health of Sheep; with hints for the management of Sheep after shearing: an enquiry into the structure, growth, and formation of wool and hair; and remarks on the means by which the Spanish breed of Sheep may be made to preserve the best qualities of its fleece unchanged in different climates.
By ROBERT BAKEWELL.
With occasional Notes and Remarks, by the RIGHT HON. LORD SOMERVILLE.
[CONTINUED.]
Thus, from the tenants of the main, the inhabitants of the frozen seas, has the ingenuity of man drawn materials to contribute to their wants and luxuries, more delicate than the productions of the celebrated Vale of Cashmere.
If the above account of the formation of wool and hair be admitted, the stoppage in the growth of wool which forms a joint staple, and also the production of stiff or cotted fleeces, may be accounted for. When from disease, but more frequently from a deficiency of food and warmth, the animal ceases suddenly to secrete the wool-forming fluid, if this continue only for a short time, and by increase of warmth and food it again produces wool, a division in the staple will be seen, and by pulling it at each end, it will break where the stoppage in the growth took place.
Where the above causes operate for a longer time, the wool already formed having ceased to grow, and being deprived of a farther supply of yolk, is by the motion of the animal, and the action of wet, felted into a stiff coat. In some fleeces this takes place before the wool is separated from the skin: in others the wool is nearly detached from the back, and connected only by a few scattering hairs where a languid formation of wool is going on. In some instances the formation of a new fleece has begun under that which is cotted. This takes place when the animal has again a better supply of food. The new fleece is connected with the cotted by a few hairs in each staple which had ne-
cess to grow. Fleece which have had more than one lamb, and have been exposed to cold, wet, or scanty supplied with food, are more liable to lose their fleeces.
Immediately after shearing wool is generally formed more rapidly and coarser than during any other period of its growth. That wool grows faster at this time is acknowledged; and M. Fink, in his account of the sheep of Saxony, explains why sheep produce a greater quantity of wool when they are shorn twice in the year, than when they are shorn only once in the same time. The increased growth of wool after shearing, I believe arises from the pressure of the grown wool upon the secreting vessels being removed, whereby a sudden re-action and activity are given to them and a greater quantity of the fluid is formed. The vessels may be also more expanded and stimulated, by exposure to the rays of the summer sun. Hence, the top of the staple which was grown immediately after shearing, will in most English wool be found coarser than the bottom part. I know it may be said, that the top of the staple is that portion of wool which was close to the skin at the time the animal was shorn, and was once the finest part of the wool. But this is not true, for the points of the staple are wearing away and rubbing off; and where the wet remains and decays the wool. This is the true cause of the brown color at the top of the staple, which some have thought it difficult to explain. A minute inspection will make the truth of this apparent, for it will invariably be found, that where the top of the staple remains discolored after washing, a partial decay has taken place. This effect will be in a considerable degree prevented, by the first application of the ointment which I have recommended.
On examining a staple of English wool, we shall generally find, that the bottom part of it is rather finer than the upper, and the top part or point is coarser than the middle. The points were grown soon after shearing; the upper part, or rather more than half of the whole length, was grown during the summer and autumnal months; the bottom or finest part was produced after the commencement of winter, and from thence to the time of shearing. It may be objected to what I have before advanced, that if increase of food and warmth have a tendency to make wool coarser, the part of the staple which was nearest the skin at the time of shearing, being grown in May or June, should be as coarse as the middle part which was grown in the autumnal months. We must however recollect, that in spring the fleece has nearly acquired its full size; and experience has informed us, that when the staple is near its usual length, the wool forming secretions are diminished, and its growth proceeds very slowly. If a fleece remain unshorn, and continue to grow two years, the quantity of wool produced in the second year is much less than what was grown the first. Any cause which diminishes the wool-forming secretions, or in other words, the quantity of wool grown in a certain time, has a tendency to make it finer; and hence we may learn the cause of the wool being finer at the bottom of a full grown staple, than at the top. When the old fleece is removed, either by shearing or by falling off, new energy is given to the secreting vessels. I suspect also, that the exposure of the skin to the action of light and air, contributes something to this effect.

FOREIGN. (VIA NORFOLK.)
YARMOUTH, July 10. Arrived, the Havoc gun brig, lieutenant Bamber, from the Baltic, and brings intelligence that SCHILL is not dead, but only wounded, and is fortifying the island of Rugen, and reports that a revolution has broken out at St. Petersburg headed by the grand duke Constantine.
THE EXPEDITION. RAMSGATE July 11.
We are all bustle here this day, 20 sail of transports having come in, which in consequence of adverse winds, occasions great confusion amongst them, but being moderate was attended with little or no damage to the vessels. The troops are to embark to-morrow, as far as the present arrivals will admit, when these will be dispatched for the Downs, and others sent in, so that to appearance one of the most formidable expeditions ever witnessed from this country, is now likely to be very soon ready for its destination.
The march of the troops for their various destinations on the Kent coast was completed yesterday.
Besides the artillery already stated, 1200 horses of the commissariat corps of gunner drivers, from Woolwich, Chatham, and Canterbury, are ordered to accompany the expedition; a strong indication this, that the service is continental. They will be embarked in divisions at Northfleet and Ramsgate. A detachment of the waggon train is also expected to embark this day at Deptford.
Extract of a letter from capt. Currie, of the Ruby, dated Hoylake, July 7, to a mercantile house in Liverpool.
"GENTLEMEN—I left Palermo on the 1st ult. honored with the charge of dispatches from lord Amherst, British minister plenipotentiary, and general sir John Stewart, whom I left at Melazzo embarking an army of 23,000 men, British and Sicilians, under his command, destined to attack Naples, and which were intended to sail three days after my departure."
At a late hour this morning we received Hamburg papers to the 6th inst.—Berlin to the 2d, and Frankfort and other papers to the 30th ult. The following is the intelligence contained in them:
"LEIPZIC, June 26.
"Six or seven thousand Saxon and Württemberg troops entered our city yesterday. We expect others to-day."
"June 28.
"The king of Westphalia entered this place on the 26th, and yesterday marched with his army towards Dresden."
"MERSEBOURG, June 25.
"Official letters from the king of Westphalia's head-quarters, arrived this morning, state, that gen. D'Albrynac had orders to pass the Saal yesterday, and attack the Austrians near Lützen. After several actions the enemy were obliged to retire. The Austrians evacuated Leipsic at midnight."
"PRAGUE, July 24.
"We learn by official reports from the generalissimo's head quarters, that up to the 22d, nothing had occurred between the two main armies. The archduke Charles is daily receiving reinforcements from two to three thousand men, so that his force on the line from Crems to Presburgh is estimated at 160,000 troops of the line."
"As the Tyroleans and Vorarlbergers, supported by the Imperial troops under the command of Col. Teiner, consider themselves strong enough to make head against the enemy, general Chastellar has united with the Banus of Croatia, Count Guilay, and in conjunction with him has entered Hungary by the mountains."
"BERLIN, July 1.
"By way of precaution the duke of Varmy has removed the treasury of Hanau to Mentz."
"The Austrians have extended themselves considerably in the territory of Pula."
"Accounts received at Frankfort from Upper Swabia give reason to tremble for the fate of the unfortunate town of Lindau."
"The scarcity of meat greatly encreases at Vienna."
"BANKS OF THE ELBE, June 30.
"Nothing decisive has as yet arrived from the great theatre of war; but, according to all accounts, may be daily expected, as the three bridges over the Danube were finished on the 17th, and great reinforcements had reached the French army, Napoleon had also finished all the preparations and dispositions for a grand and decisive attack on the heroic archduke Charles, and his valiant army, who were also prepared to receive him."
"The victory which the French blazon to have obtained over the archduke John, by their Italian army, and the occupation of Raab, were mere ephemeral successes, as intelligence has been officially received of a much later date at Prague, stating that the Archduke had retaken the position on the Raab, and the French are said to have retreated before him."
"According to private letters from Austria, the Duke of Ragusa's army has been defeated and totally dispersed in the confines of Hungary, and no more than 6000 men are said to remain of it. By the same channel it is said, that a combined British and Turkish naval and military force has retaken Trieste and Fiume, and conquered the greatest part of Dalmatia."
"The presence of a British army in Hanover, would be a great diversion in favor of Austria, as many of the inhabitants would join, particularly as the conscription for France will soon be introduced."
"AUGSBURG, June 22.
"There has just appeared a royal edict of considerable length, relative to the religion and corporation of Bavaria. It declares
that an absolute liberty of conscience is guaranteed to all the inhabitants of Bavaria. Every person may chuse and exercise whatever religion he pleases, as soon as he shall have obtained the age of twenty years, without any prejudice to his civil rights. This regulation applies to both sexes. The making the proselytes, either by force or art, is prohibited. If in the contracts of marriage, the parties being of different religions, have stipulated that in which their children shall be educated, that stipulation shall be legally followed; but if there shall be no such agreement, the male child shall be brought up in the religion of the father, and the female in that of the mother; foundlings shall be brought up in the religion of him or her who shall be charged with their education."
From the Banks of the Maine, June 27. Letters from Paris state, that serious negotiations for peace are carrying on, and that Napoleon will certainly celebrate his birth day (the 15th of August) at Paris.
"PRAGUE, June 25.
"The army of the archduke Charles, which is now 160,000 strong, and which is daily encreasing in force, has thrown up fortifications on different points of the Danube, and adheres to its plan of defensive operations. The archduke sends detachments to Hungary and Germany to alarm the enemy. It also appears to be intended in a short time to have more corps acting under generals Kienau, Kienmayer, and Tiemeyer in Saxony, Franconia and Swabia."
"LEIPZIC, June 26.
According to certain information from Frankfort, negotiations for a peace between France and Austria are carrying on under the mediation of Russia. We are in hope that our sovereign will soon return here.
"June 28.
"This day about noon the king of Westphalia left this city, and advanced with the whole of his army to the neighborhood of Dresden. Before his departure, he was waited on by a deputation of the magistracy. His majesty issued here the following
ORDER OF THE DAY.
"Soldiers! the rapidity of our march, and the perfect combination of our movements, have had the same effect on the enemy as if we had lost a battle."
"Only the day before yesterday he insulted our allies, and threatened nothing less than fire and destruction to our towns and villages. To day he flies full of terror before us. He has scarce been able to bear the look of our advanced posts."
"He occupied eight days in advancing from Dresden to Leipsic, and has obtained no advantage except discovering that it requires only two days to arrive from Leipsic to Dresden."
"He believed us still on the banks of the Folde, while we were on the Saal. He did not suppose, it seems, that we would encounter either fatigue or danger, even when it was necessary to hasten to our worthy ally, the king of Saxony."
"Soldiers! you have obtained a right to the friendship of the brave Saxons, and you may in a similar case reckon on their assistance with the same noble confidence as they have relied on you."

PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the courthouse. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq., and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent sh, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shewn to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq., who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. (Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little-frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walkes street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a consequence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects.—The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.

TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it relieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. I have since given them to my children, and can speak from experience, that they are a most valuable medicine, and am happy to add my testimony to numberless others of their efficacy.
SARAH JOHNSON, No. 140, north Second Street.
Among the symptoms attending Worms are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—convulsions,
epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometime loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging, with slimy and fætid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILOUS PILLS , Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern seaports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, WM. DEVENNY,
ITCH CURED.

Domestic Manufactures.
THE subscriber proposes erecting at the Centre Mills, near Alexandria, a Machine for carding Wool, and expects to have it ready to run by the 30th of the present month. It will card the wool and form it into rolls for the spinning wheel, or into batts for hatters, or other purposes. The advantage of having wool prepared by these machines for the purpose of manufacturing into yarn over that which is carded by hand, is generally acknowledged, as being the cheapest and most perfect in its operation. Those persons who may incline to give encouragement to this establishment, may depend on the utmost punctuality as to time and unremitted attention in the execution of the work. The wool when carded into rolls will be packed in such manner as to preserve it in the most perfect state for spinning, and may be transported any reasonable distance without injury. Wool, sent to the carder, must be clean washed, clear of burs, small sticks or other extraneous matter, and as sorted in such manner as may suit the owner; and each quality shall be kept separate. The expence of carding will be eight cents for that which is made into rolls, and five cents for batts per lb. payable at the time of delivering, or payment will be received in wool of good quality at 40 cents per pound, as may suit the convenience of the owner.
