-Aeic Boot-There is now building in this
city boat upon very ingenious plan, for
which patent has been taken ont. The pro-
prietor and patentee has already built one at
New-Bedford, and one at New York, where
they founl to answer exceedingly well. His
boat is propelled by chain floats or oblique pad
dies which pass round two cast iron fang
wheels. These floats are attached to compo-
sition chain on each side of the vessel. Each
chain carries ten paddles. in an obliqne direc-
ton. of the fishes fin. The paddles are fifteen
inches in length and nine in depth. Ten pad
dies are always in action, and boat fifty feet in
length and twelve in width can be propelled one
mile IN FIVE minutes. This rapid movement
can be effected by four men turning four cranlSs
the labonr ofwhich is much less than working
ofoars. This principle does away with the pad
die wheels used in The present manner Of con-
s;rGc6ng steam boats

ARGUS IRREGULARITIES.

From some late specimens of the inconsistent
cies and falsehoods of the Argus Editor, we ver-
ily believe tEat our impressions respecting the
unhappy canse of his frequent Authorizations,
altogethor erroneous, and instead of his lack
ing the mems sGaa IA corPOre SGno,' that he is
only radically deficient in the non-esscntial point
of common cerdcity. Hence we cannot but
have less Compassion for him than we have here
tofore indsged when he was considered a fit
subject for the straight jacket and cold bath.
Thus circumstanced we shall probably leave
him hereafter to the salutary operation of the
only remedy ever successfully prescribed for
such malignant eases, and which time and pubs
lie opinion will assnredly administer in the pre-
sent one |; but as we are indebted to pious and
erudite writer for the discovery of the true type
OF our PATIENTS disease, we shall here quote the
passage referred TO for the benefit of our unlearned
readers, as explanatory of the extraordinary
case now under consideration his remarks are,
namely, 6 that wickedness lin generaD is kind
of votuatary fren<y and chosen distraction ;and
every sinner does wilder and more extrayagant
things than any man can do Tat IS crGSed and
out OF has toits; and with this sad difference that
he kEotCs better trEnt he does" Now If this be
true, none Of the faculty will doubt, II must
be readily conceded, after reading the extracts
from the public paper" called the Eastern
Argus" that its well approved editor is more
sricked than crased anl that for peculiar tact
at tyiue. more especially in the boldness and
pertinacity ofbis falsehoods, he surpasses even
bis renowned predecessor. We have indeed
given him more than ordinary credit as an apt
scholar, but he truly merits our euiogium, and if
it be rightly said by Seneca, d" Dediscit aninus
quod didicif diu," there can be little appre-
hension OF an immediate change in fine none
can be expected through other means than
those already suggested, for falsehood IS well

ANONYMOUS TNcwburgl Letters

A few DAYS ago We allu I'D 10 ali assertion
recently made, by Judge JOHNSON, Of ). Car

we're written by The late GoUvERNEUR MoRaIs,
II N. York, j. mol by Major (now Generai)

orally attributed. We added from cur own
convictions that those letters by whomsoever
written, did not originate in any views hostile
20 the independence of the Uniled States,

ton reached parts Of The UDiOn, where so ma
ny erotics have the control OF presses, IN
which great ignorance of American events, is
continually betrayed ; 1t was pronounced 10
be fallacious and 1t was added, by way of
corOlary. that while the suspicion Ut the au-

ACongress Of Sovcreigns is DOW spoken Of as
settled matter-the place of meeting TO be Vi
emma. IL is stated in a paragraph from that
city, under the date of the 10th of July that the
Emperors OF Austria and Russia will be present
in person, and that the courts Of Berlin, Paris,
and London, will send ministers. The Sublime
Porte, il seems, declines having any thing to do
with this august assembly, on the ground that
II has no political relations with any christian
Power. which can ren,ler it necessary to enter
into new treaties with such powers. 1t is stated
that the Emperor Of Russia intends to extend
his journey still farther, and to visit Rome and
the South Of Italy. 1t is also suggested that the
condition of Italy is to be rendered more com
iortable.-that Naples, Turin, and Palermo are
10 remain under protection Of Austria and that
Greece, and even Wallachia and Modavia, are
TO be left to their fate.

A sprightly writer expresses his opin-
ion Of old maids in the following manner !:
II am inclined 10 believe that many of
the satirical aspcrsions cast upon old
maids tell more to their credit than is
generally imagined. Is woman re-
markably icat 10 her person, she will
certainly die an old maid" Is she par.
ticularly reserved towards the other sex,
"she has all the squeamishness OF an old
maid" Is she frugal in her expenses,
and exact in her domestic concerns, she
is cut out for an old maid" And if she
is kindly humane to the animals about
her, nothing can save her from the appel
lation Of an "old maid" In short,
have always found that Dcatness, modes.
ty, economy and humanity, are the never
Falling characteristics t an I" old maid"

Christianity, though the most perfect
rule of lie that ever was devised, is far
from being barely a rule Of life. Al re-
ligion consisting. Of a mere code Of laws,
might have suflicej for man in state of
innocence. But man who has broken
these laws cannot be saved by rule
which he has violated. The chief OLD.
iect Of the Gospel Is not TO furnish rules
for the preservation Of innocence, but to
hold out the means of salvation to the
guilty. 1t does not proceed upon sup.
position, but fact; not upon what is
suitable to him IN the exigencies of his
f,llen state.
Doubtless many an humble Christian
whom the world reprosches with being
extravagant in his zeal, whom it ridi.
cules for being enthusiastic in his aims,
and rigid in his practice, is inwardly
mourning on the very contrary ground,
