PosTAGE.--A gentleman Of fManchester.fEp Epc.
lately had to pay for letter, one pound fourteen
shillings and ten pence.--It contained cown
of the value of twelve shiliings, sent as a present
TO his wife, and ordered through mistake g bv
post"
This reminds us of member of CONGRESS. not
far from South Carolina, who franked Scorr's
Family Bible, and sent it in the mail from Wash
ngton to his wife.
The late Mr.. GRANGER, while Post Master
General, avaied himself Of his privilege of tray.
elhng gratuitously in the Mail Coaches-but on
one occasion the driver, not apprized of his sta.
ton, told hm that if he wished TO 60 free, he
must get into the mai.-This expedient, which
was totally impraCtiCable, was fortunately un-
necessary.
mfr. Perkins who is now in London, is con-
structing an apparatus which is intended to fa-
cilitate the mode of preparing the types spr
printing-he proposes TO recast the types as soon
as form is worked of, by process that will
! lay the new types in their proper places in the
/ case-the composition is then done by means of
| touching the keys of machine, each of which
| stands for letter, as you would touch those OF
| a piano, and the letter is conveyed thus to its
place We wish success to the inventor, and
the invention.
Honor TO whom honor is due--A paper before
US contains an account of gentleman who tray
elled 200 miles in day, and another who did so
| miles in hours on hoTseback-and this Is spoken
! of as sveTy credtable TO henl--now the honor be-
| longs ts the horse. This reminds us of the fate
| of Var, the geaeral who sits and looks on has
the honor of the victory, which in truth belongs
| TO the soldiers. We say "honor to whom honor
| is due" and when travellers do their own tray
| cling and warriors their own fighting, let thep
| wear the badge--not otherwise.
| Ru1ours.--The Philadelphia Franklin Ga
zette gives Us the following 1t is Y1uaoured,
| that Mr.. Gallatin intends returning home from
! France very soon, certain before the meeting 9f
| the next Congress.--U as TumotTed that the
| present Secretary of the Navy. VIZ De apgoint-
| ed to the bench of the Supreme Court Of the q.
States to fill the vacancy occssioned by the
! death ofJudge Livingston.--Htsr is ruDiomed, that
Judge Southard a Senator of the United States
from New-Jersey, distinguished alike by his in
| telligence, his agreeable manners, and his uni
form republiCanism, will be offered the station OF
| Secretary of the Navy.
A rich Jew Banker lately hung himself in
London, in consequence Of great losses by the
depreciation Of the Spanish Stocks. Alas poor

While the editor Of the London Museum was
| in his coach on his way to the theatre-and en-
ployed in singing an Italian air, he broke blood
vessel and died instantly.

ing the first vessel that has arrived through

quality
The town of Hector is at the head of Sene-
ca Lake, about 20 miles from the Canal, 10

two locks. Capt. Osborne states that the
voyage to Albany IA distance of about go
miles, could be made ia about IL days, and
thence 70 this city in about two days; and
That the whole expense Of transportation TO
this market does not exceed ten dollars per
ton. Before the opening OF the Canal, the
price of transporting wheat from the head Of
Seneca Lake, to Utica Then the nearest
market) was nearly dollar bushel, or more
than 20 dollars toa. These facts viii shew

mense sections of fertile country with which
