VIRGINIA LEGISLATURES

RICHMOND, DEC. 3l-We have made
no sketch of the proceedings of the
house OF delegates, for the two last days
because they present very little to com
mand the attention.
The Kentucky bill has not been re.
turned from the senate but it is said
they have amended it so as to strike out
the Dames OF the commissioners, and SUBJ
sttnting clause, providing for their e.
lection by JOINT ballot of both houses.
On Friday, the engrossed bill "to a.
mend The eth section of ain act, entitled
San act to reduce into one the several
acts and parts of acts to prevent unlawful
gaming" was called up in the house of
delegates. The bill was intended to re.
eula,e the sale Of lottery tickets. Mr..
Mayo moved to FIJI the blank prescribing
the price of a license to sell tickets, with
the sum of $4,000 Rejected. On Mr..
Barbour's,motion il was filled with $500.
A debate then took place oDMr. Madison
motion to postpone the bill indefinitely
This motion was Degaiived, ayes 66
noes 30. A ryder was then proposed by
MIR. Griffin, to prescribe in what manner
the license was to be procured. Final
ly, the bill and rider were reiected-6l
being for tine bill, and 81 against it
The speaker giving the casting vote a.
gainst it.
On Saturday, the subject which en-.
gagged the greatest attention, and occu-
pied the house for considerable time,
was the engrossed bill for appropriaiing
$4,000 for openings road to the Ken.
lucky line on the Louisa Fork Of Sandy,
TO the rich land Of CliDch River.
MIR. George moved to lay the bill on
the table, to allow an opportunity to its
friends to bring in new bill providing
the means in different manner. Car.
ried, ayes 65, noes 81.
Yesterday, we understand the senate
struck out from the Kentucky bill the
section which appoints the commission
ers and counsel, and substituted a clause
which provides for heir appointment by
Joint ballot OF both houses. The bill is
yet before them, and will probably be
finally acted on 10 day.
On motion Of Mr.. Griffin, the commit.
tee OF finance were instructed to inouire
into the expediency Of repeating the laws
oil this state prohibiting the sale Of lot,e-
~ tickets therein, and into the policy Of
drawing revenue from the sale of lot
terry tickets within the state. rC6m.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.

A poor but very ingenious mechanic,
OF Philadelphia, has been, TO our know.
ledge, many years employed in the in.
vention and perfection of an improved
safety lock, which he denominates, not
improperly, Patent Trap Lock. The
patentee's name is Samuel Goodwin
His lock is intended and well calculated
for the outside doors of public buildings,
stores and private houses, and will great
ly add TO the security of the vaults of
banks, iron chests, FIRE proofs, &c. &c.
The inventor has received premium of
twenty dollars through the hands of Ro-
bert Wharton, esq. mayor of the city of
Philadelphia, under the direction of the
will of the late DIR. Scott, granting pre-
miums for useful inventions. The lock
has been exhibited at the coffee house,
where it was greatly admired for its inge-
nuity, simplicity and strength.
There is singular advantage in this
lock. 1t is SD contiived that any KEY.
but its own, being introduced into the
lock, it is made fast and cannot be re-
moved by the knave who for dishonest
purposes had introduced it. No,with-
standing its simplicity it is so constructed
tina, If FIVE hundred locks and keys were
made no key would open any oHe but
the one Tor which it was originally made.
1t is perfect safeguard against pick
locks. Those who like an excellent and
moderately cheap lock those who
would encourage ingenuity struggling
under the pressure Of want, would do we
to examine this lock. TDem. Pressl

MIR MATHEW

This extraordinary performer was On
Thursday evening welcomed 10 our
boards, by the cheers Of brilliant house
filled to overlooking. In the "Roaa to
Rain" he personatcd Goidfneh,and gave
the songs ofthat Newmarket jockey,with
an effect never before experienced here.
They were rapturously encored but
the repetitions were so iDgeniously varied,
as to appear new songs. But bis Mar
Gleit, in "Adons. IonSon" was so irresisti-
bly, comic, and so true to nature and
truth, as to battle all our powers at an adc-
quate description. Loud and continued
peals of laughter followed almost every
sentence he uttered. His fame had run
before him, and public expectations was
at the highest pitch !; but the continual
''jubilee of applause" he received, indi.
Gated sthe half had not been tod oil him."
AL the performers sustained their parts
with spirit, correctness, and effect. The
pieces were repeated last evening, with
the same effect, and on both occasions
every ticket was sold.

CURIOUS CALCULATION.

II is estimated that more than a million
OF bushels oil human and inhuman bones
were imported last year from the CONT
nent Of Europe into the port OF Hull
The neighborhood of Leipsic, Austerlitz,
and Wa,erloo,and of all the places where,
during the late bloody war, the principal
battles were fought, have been swept a
like OF the bones of the hero and the horse
which he rode. Thus collected from
every quarter they have been shipped to
the port Of Hell. and thence forwarded
to the Yorkshire bone grinders who have
erected steam engines and powerful ma
chinery for the purpose of reducing
them to granalary state. In this con-
dition they are sent chiefly to Doncaster,
one OF the largest agricultural markets
in that part OF the country, and are there
sold TO the farmers:o manure their lands.
The oily substance ofthe bone gradually
evolving as the bone caleincs, makes a
more permanent and substantial manure
than almost any other substance-particu
larly human bones. 1t is now ascertain
ed beyond doubt, by actual experiment,
upon an extensive scale, tina: dead sol.
der is most valuable article of COM
merce, and for aught we know to the
contrary, the good farmers of Yorkshire
are indebted TO the bones of their children
Tor their daily bread. II is certainly a
singular fact, that Great Britain should
have sent out such mullitudes Of soldiers
to fight the battles Of the country upon
the continent OF Europe, and should then
import their bones as an article of CON-
mercc 10 faiten their soil. Lon. ha.

ATTEMPT AT ESCAPE.

Lewis, confined in state prison for
stealing from Mr., Dana, made an unsuc.
cessful attempt TO escape last week. Be
ing employed as tailor, he contrived,
from shreds and patches of cloth, to
make the effigy of man of his own size,
which he placed in his cell, and then con-
cealed himself in the yard to scale the
walls at proper mLment. The officer
counted ihe number in the cell, and
found it correct, and was returning, but
sone suspicious crossing his mind, he
called, was answered by another convict;
was again withdrawing when the steady
position Of the effgy induced him to app
proach and take hold of it, when the plot
was discovered. Boston Palladium.

ROBBERY.

The schr. Jubilee, Hill, Of Saco, which
put into Maracaibo In distress, on the
9th July, was there seized by general
Morales, who plundered the cargo, but
gave up the vessel after long deten-
ton, on condition that she should carry
off some prisoners. Part of the time,
the captain and supercargo were kept
close prisoners on board. The general
held all the papers during said time--in.
Guiding. the log book and register, and
refused delivering either up--but order
ed the schooner off without them. The
Jubilee sailed on the Esd of Oct. at which
time he had loaded FIVE schrs. for Cur
racoa, with cotton and indigo on his ac-
count. The property taken was estima-
ted at upwards Of million. The dry
goods he was packing in small packages,
no doubt to have them ready for flight.

A MISERABLE BEING.

On the 9Th October, coroner's in.
quest was held in London, on the body
of Mr.. Moses Aaron, who was found
dead in his bed room, which had most
wretched aspect. IT appeared from the
evidence. that the deceased, though pos
sessed OF large property, had lived in
so penurious manner, that he did not
allow himself sufficient nourishment to
support nature, He left three sons, all
of whom he cut off, leaving the whole
OF his property TO charitable uses.
