TO MESSRS. BROWELL AND CO.
, London. Nov, 7, 1822.
G"T LEM EN,-0 ti my Passage from
Shields to Jamaica, the latter end of last year. in
the Brig Temple, I bent a new Foresail, principally made of
Canvas prepared by' your Anti-Mildew Process, and a new
.Nlain-topsail and Jib, of the same maker, but unprepared.—
Our voyage was severe, and the Sails have suffered much in
consequence.—The Foresail has worn free of Mildew, except
in two parts, where the Canvas was unprepared, but the
Main-topsail and Jib are much injured by the Mildew. The
Foresail is more pliable furls easier, and apparently dries
much quicker than thearther Sails made at the same time, so
that I am fully satisfied your Process is a complete•preserva-
tive wherever it is, used, and possesses other useful proper-
ties ; and I should wish• it always to be used in any Vessel
where I may have the command.

The ADVANTAGES of CUTTING a STICK.

( From the Ladies' Magazine.)

Ma. EDlTOR—Smelfungus and Alundungus,
according to that charming writer Sterne, travelled from Dan to
Beersheba, and found all barren. I am satisfied they were in
the wrong, and every person may attain a similar conviction,
who shall once seriously set about it : indeed, I am thoroUghly
convinced that we all possess, within ourselves, means of enjoy-
ment which baffle computation, and are able to bankrupt arith-
metic outright ! There is one among many others which 1
myself possess, and which others, if they please, may possess
along with me, whose cultivation is most eminently conducive
to health arid tranquillity; I mean; Sir, the the advantage of

cutting a stick.
It is somewhere observed, that few persons know how to take
a walk ; either they are deficient in animal spirits, are without
reflection, or their minds are wanting in that species of tact
which is indispensable to the enjoyment of nature : but you,
Sir, who can take a walk, when, on such beautiful autumnal
mornings as, we are now blessed with, you have sallied out into
the fields, or down some interesting bye-lane, swinging your
hands about, ad libitum, or possibly extending one arm, and
then the other, alternately to their full length; then clenching
the fist and drawing back the arm, which you dart forwards with
all that muscular vigour which is imparted by the fine bracing
of the wind; have you not soon discovered that you lacked
something ? that something is a stick—then comes work for
the eye. What a pleasing agitation of suspense, while you
pass along the hedge and peer out for a blackthorn or a hazel,
a willow or an oak, or whatever most seemly may present it-
self. Then again, when found, planting the foot securely on
one side and then on the other : bestriding like a Colossus,'
not the huge world,' but the narrow ditch ; all this, what ec-
static exercise ; The lopping, the trimming, the polishing,
come in for their share of gratification. You at this time be-
come as much attached to that useful little instrument, a
knife, as any unsophisticated tar in the navy. Well, your
companion is finished : you view him, are pleased with him,
whirl him about : the blood warms up and mantles with the
exertion. But, ha ! what's that ? a most ill-looking fellow in-
deed ; how fbrtunate, that I should chance to have at command
this substantial sapling ; it is the representative of my
knuckles, saves them from being scarified, and will mediate
most effectually between me and this Gentlemen of' prey!—
Oh, the advantages of cutting a stick ! health of person, and
protection of property !
But, Mr. Editor,. the choicest spirits must at length flatten
and evaporate ; your walk has been beautiful ; but like the
polar star, it would now point towards the bachelor comforts of
a rump-steak and oyster-sauce, were it not that, disciple of
Hymen as I somehow take you to be, the rump-steak falls to
my share, and your keen eye meditates many an inci-
sion into the family joint. London greets you again ; and,
faith, something else greets you along with it—another
looking fellow !' Oh, Horace! Satire the 9th, (exquisitely
turned by Francis for the amusement of the ladies in general,
but which Miss may read in the original) what was the
wretchedness there described as endured by you, compared (you
say) with that lan about to undergo ! Sure to make his meat
upon other people's understanding, for never was there a single
joint in his own intellectual larder, who but Mr. Vacuum bears
doTii quick upon me ! Is there no hope ? no remedy ? Yes,
one there is, and that a sure one ; you resolve not to know him.
With optics so arranged that not a single ray shall fall upon
this animated piece of emptiness, you clear him quick, not al-
lowing yourself to be sensible to a single impinging look : your
gratitude bursts forth at your escape ; and, whilst striding on
rapidly to join your domestic circle, you exultingly rub your
hands, and again joyfully exclaim, Oh, the advantages of cut-
ting a stick !'

SIIOCKING INSTANCE OF EARLY DEPRAVITY.
—A girl, scarcely 14 years of age, was yesterday
brought up to Hatton-Garden Office from the
watch-house of St. Andrew's, Holborn. Her
wretched mother, who attended, with tears
streaming down her cheeks, declared her to be
so practised in vice, there were no means left
to safe her from utter destruction but the inter-
ference of the Magistrate. She had fled from
her service to associate with pickpockets,
and women of the most abandoned description.
The night before her father met her walking the
streets it. the last stage of drunkenness, and gave
charge of her at the watch-house, for the purpose
of trying what could be done by bringing her be-
fore his Worship. The Magistrate lamented his
power did not extend so far as to justify him in
committing her to the House of Correction. lie,
however, ordered her to be locked up in solitary
confinement till three o'clock, when, after a,suit-
able admonition, she was delivered to her parents.

FONT ENELLE.

FONTENELLE has often been reproached with

having an insensible heart. It was said of him,
and with truth, that he never laughed nor cried.
This single trait is sufficient to shew the cha-
racter of a man. He knew nothing of the tumult
of passion, nor of those impetuous feelings which
often get the better of the greatest men; neither ,
had his cold and unfeeling heart ever been sen-
sible of the enchanting power of beauty, the live-
ly and delightful impressiong of virtue, or of the
charms and pleasures of friendship. When a per-
son with such a disposition as this strictly ob-
serves the laws of society, of honont, and of
public decency, he is free from reproach, but it
does not render him less deserving of our pity.
Lord Hyde, a man of considerable merit, said,
in allusion to the long life of Fontenelle, that for
his part he lived his hundred years in a quarter
of an hour, a choice expression to shew the ad-
vantage of a feeling over an unfeeling heart. It
is difficult for a man to live a long time in a quar-
ter of an hour, when he only likes epigram,
which always made an impression on Fontenelle,
but it is not said that he was ever effected by
painting, or music, by the illusions of art and of
imitation. M. Diderot, w ben he saw him for
the first time in his life, could not forbear shed-
ding tears at the vanity of literary fame, and of
every thing human. M.de Fontenelle perceived
it ; and asked him the cause of his tears, " I
experienced," replied M. Diderot, " a singular
sentiment." At the word sentiment, M. de F.
stopped him, and said smiling,—" Sir, it is eight
years since I banished sentiment into Eclogues :"
a very proper answer to dry the tears that
flowed from a love of humanity, and from the
tenderness of a feeling heart. M. de F-- boast-
edsfrequently of never having asked a favour of
any one. He might have added, that he had
never conferred one. Madame Geoffrin, in whom
he placed great confidence, said, that there was
only one way to induce him to render any one a

service, which was to order him to do it. He
had no reply to you must. He would never have
been sensible of that which was only proper or
becoming. But the most horrible thing of this
kind that is related, is the story of the Aspara-
gus. M. de F---- had a particular liking to
them, especially dressed with oil. One of his
friends who liked to eat them with butter, (I do
not know 'whether it was not the Abbe Terras-
son) having called upon him one day, he invited
him to dinner, observing, that he made a great
sacrifice by giving up to' him half his dish of as-
paragus, and ordered that half to be dressed with
butter. A little while before the dinner was
ready, the Abbe was taken ill, and in.an instant
fell down in an apoplectic fit. M. de F--
rose in great' haste, ran to the kitchen ; and ex-
claimed " dress them all with oil." What is
perhaps the most striking part of this story is,
that a short time after, dining at the house of
that same Lord Hyde, of whom I have spoken,
and seeing some asparagus brought to table, he
said he had remarked, that his ban mot had
brought it into fashion; and with this way of
thinking he would probably have had very few
friends if the pride of being connected with such
a celebrated man had not preserved him some.
It is this great indifference which is the main
feature of his character; he maintained it upon
every occasion, and it was often prejudicial to
the justness of his conceptions, principally in
every thing that related to feeling. Ile said that
if he had truth in his hands like a bird, be would
have smothered it, so useless and dangerous to
mankind did he consider the finest gift of Hea-
ven. He also said, that if he had in his posses-
sion a horrible paper, and one which would dis-
grace him in the eyes of posterity, he would not
give himself the trouble to burn it, provided that
he was sure of concealing it from the knowledge
of the public during his life. This is not a na-
tural feeling. Shame is one of the first feelings
of man in society, and shame makes us dread
contempt even after death, says M. Diderot.—
This speech was still more extraordinary from
the mouth of M. de Fontenelle, as he was exces-
sively fond of praise. He was not at all parti-
cular upon this point, and the most ingenious, the
most epigramrnatical, the most delicate wit in
gallantry, was not offended at the most insipid
and stupid praises which some people lavished
on him. 'A man having said to him one day, " I
wish to praise you but I should want the inge-
nuity of your wit ;" "never mind" replied M.
de F "still praise me." I have heard him
complain that foreigners, and particularly the
English, valued him more than his countrymen
to which Madame Geoffrin very pleasantly re-
plied, " it is because we know you too well.
You know," added she, " that no Hero appears
a great man to his valet de chambre." These
traits may suffice to give you a specimen of the
character of this celebrated person, who, had he
possessed amore lively imagination, animated by
'a feeling heart, would have been a great man.—
(Grimm's Correspondence.)

Taunton was the first town in the West of
England that applied to Parliament for a Turn-
pike Act. The Bill was opposed by numphrey
Sydenham, Esq. Member for Exeter, who assert-
ed that the roads were in very good repair; it
was supported by Thomas Prowse, Esq. who
put the House into a roar of laughter, by under-
taking to prove that the roads were in so bad a
state, that it would be no more expence to make
them nastabk than to make them At fortar-
