FOR 7HE WA7cHMAN,


Mn. EDIToR--Among the numerous importan
and wonderful discoveries with which the proi6
genuises of the present age have enriched mankind
that of Crani0togy as it is more properly Gallo
Phrenology, is not the least worthy of attention.
This doctrine teaches us that the different faculties
lpropensties and passions of The human mind are
located in certain particular parts OF the brain anc
that the seat of any of these nclinatons or popen.
sites is denoted by prominence or proubepnce al
that spot, this projection being caused, as ey say
by the cerebel Development beneath.
| Now as it is easy to declare, withop any ac'
quaintance with man, but merely by exshining his
head what his propensities are, may wehot reason
ably expect almost incalcuable advantages from
such wonderful doctrine ?--How muth imposition
and fraud may be prevented by possessing know
ledge of this astonishing art Thvs, previous tc
making bargain, by examining me head OF the
person with whom We may be abodt to deal, we will
ascertain whether he is a rcgueor not, and il we
find him to be such, by declining any trade with him
we will escape being taken ip. Again, if CIR
should offer herself for hire, the lady of the house
by instituting a examnatonfor herself of the cere
bel Development, will ascertain, better than by any
written character, what het properties may be, ano
if she finds any Of the bad organs particularly deyeo
ped, as for instance the organ OF secre;veness, she
will unhestangy declare the girl to be thief, and
her knowledge save her property from pllage.
| A more important advantage however, to be de
rived from phrenoogy is the admirable improve
iment il will produce in education. This IS subject
which, although it has occupied much attention, has
been so far but vrFy little understood, is amply
verified by our having SO few profcients in science
and the arts But this state OF things is to dis
appear, like clouds before the wnd,'' and ere long
we may expect great nisn to be so common thai
ibe~ will almost cease to attract admiration. What
terrible day that will be for some little great per.
sonages Many great and wise men, and among
them the lustrious Rush, strongly recommended
to parents to always bring up their children to that
trade or profession for which they may have natu-
rally the strongest inclination. Now by Craniology
it will be very easy to ascertain what nature has in
tended an individual for, and by putting him to that
study or occupation we may reasonably expect him
to excel.
|, is said that he who proves benetactor OF man
kind, I" deserves the thanks of Cod and man !" how
great then will be the reward which the renowned

cntrely choaked up, that the canal you'd be rem.
dered comparatively Of far less public Utility than if
it is brought into the Christiana BECAUSE, in one
case, no obstruction could ever take tHhc and in
the other, it assuredly will with all itstran Of in
termlnable expenses not only TO the public detri-
ment, but greatly to the disadvantageof the canal
company.
If the Canal should be located beldv Newcastle,
is it certain that the guns from the brit on the Pea
Patch, would sweep the whole raDgk of shore? Ii
they would not, iD time of war an enemy who had
"a naval superiority might, by employing lotilla
OF small vessels get possession It the mouth of the
Canal, which would then becohe, not merely use

annoyance to the surrounding country and there
can hardly exist doubt, thatf they could do no
more, they would destroy the basin and other works
and thereby ruin the Canal together, until they
had been rebuilt and repaired All these evils would
be rendered impossible if thu Canal is brought into
the Christana--as the CAM would then be placed
beyond a coup de main, ah the fort would be an
efiectual protection.
There is another consideration which ought to
have due weight in deciding this question. In q
north easter the boats blow would be completely
embargoed till chsjge of wind but they could
get out Of the Christina, and in case of foul wind
10 and from Philadelphia, three tides would be taken
to get up or down, bit only two from the Christi
ana, and boat from Philadelphia might, and would
be through the CAM and into the Chesapeake be
fore it could get mo The canal below. In the event
of transportation of troops or munitions of war,
when time is olth SO important, the saving of a
tide might be ahos! the salvation of the country
and as it Respects the advantage OF individuals and
the good of thgcommuniy, the saving Of expense
would be incayuable,

LAD NEWS-IF TRUE.

| The Portsmouth Journal, of Saturday, received
this mornhg, contains the following Postscript:
The slip Fame, Capt Folsom, arrived below This
morningin 81 days from St Ubes. 1t was repor-
ted in s. Ubes on the day the Fame sailed MAY
l3O) hathe French army had entered Madrid and
that bt Portuguese troops ordered for the defence
of SPIN, had Notwithstanding TO join the Spanish
lcaust.
HAT the French have entered Madrid before the
sailing the Fame, was probably true, as our last
accounts left the right division of the army within
l8f miles of that capital, and it was expected they
you'd arrive there on the Oath. The war, the Spa
liiards say, was not to commence until the French
arrived at Madrid.--The other part of the story
wants confirmation. Indeed we have no certain in
formation that the Portuguese troops have been
ordered TO cooperate with the Spanards. The
moment Portugal departs from her neutrality, and
takes part in the quarrel the treaty of alliance with
England, ceases to be Of further force or virtue.

A distressing accident took place near Byers'

The circumstances were as follow:
The neighbours Of Mahoning township, and its
vicinity, had assembled at MIR. Peter Gundy's for
the purpose of raising barn-tbe building was
framed without braces, and while in the act OF run
ming the wall plate over the last bent, not having
adopted the precaution of .foltoacing poles, the
pressure against the top of the bent was SO great
to crowd it over against its fellow when the whole,
four in number, instantly fell, precipitating twelve
or fifteen men, which were on the top TO receive the
plate, to the ground distance ofneary thirty feet,
woundiug and brusing the greater number Of them
in shocking manner. OF the number wounded,
three or four are severely, perhaps fatally injured
three have had their sculIs lraclured--four their
legs or arms broke. One OF the former had his
head pressed between two large pieces of timber,
into the space Of tour inches and three sxteenths OF
an inch.
