The note Of preparation for the reception of Gen.
La Faycttc is loud and bISy. His visit the theme
of every toncne-to behold him and to render him
all possible honor, is the wish of every heart Ne
vcr was there before 50 entire an uuanimity of
tiRcnt. Old and young, male and female, concur
in this honorable feeling. Calm at first, it amounts
at last the time for his arrival approaches 10 en-
rhusiasm. This universal feeling indicates more
than the generation of the Americans for the person
and services of La Fayctte. In him they personify
the principles of the Revolution, and their own hap
ply aud equal institutions.
We arc happy to learn that the Preparations at
York Town proceeding ith Il rapid and steady
pace All that individual foresight and industry
could aChievc, to iiakc them equal TO the sion
and the Guest, has been, will he done. After
all, is impossible that the reception equal the
splendid rnagnihccucc of the northern cities. The
location of the spot, its inconsiderablencss as a
town, the sparseness Of the surrounding populations
the poverty OF the country, the great distance
hence every article has TO be transported, the
shortncss of the time, and the original of con-
cert altogether render it impossible that the ccle-
bration at York equal the spcctacIes afforded by
the Nniihern cities. On the other hand, do
not wish to lower expectation too mnch
There will be much to crafty all classes of people
well the peasant, who in gratifying his eyes
will satisfy his mind, the patriot, whose glowing
associations the scene will rouse 10 enthusiasm
Fifteen hundred troops expected 10 attend Sc
veral national vessels will grace the occasion viii
their presence, and i; Is couJccured that twenty
thoesaud people win b. present TO witness the cele
bratjon.

much to the pleasure of the celebration. The Pre-
sident Of the United States ins not been directly
heard irom-but il is hoped Il believed that he will
attend, accompanied by Secretaries Adams and
Calhoun.

FARMERS, BANK.

We understand that General Nee
ting Of the Stockholders of the Farmers
Bank of Virginia was held ON Tuesday
last, at their clearinghouse, conforma-
bly, TO notice. The meeting was very
full one, and the stockholders decided
ANONYMOUSLY on accepting the terms of
the. Act. of assembly, forrenewal OF their
charter. With Ike unanimity, they re-
solved that the bonus of 10000 dollars
to be paid to the State; should be reim-
bursed out Of the. present six months
profits of the institution, which will pre-
vent dividend in July Col course To
private stockholders only the state still
receiving the profit on hs4 stock.) The
opinion was, that it would contribute to
the permanent benefit of the Bank, and
increase the value of the Stock to make
this arrangement. as the institution will
then have eighteen years to run freez2t
mcumbrance. - Eng.

MR.. cLAY's OPINION OF BoNAPARTE.

MIR. CLAWS OPINION OF BONAPARTE.
Mr.. Clay, in his speech on the Tariff, referred
to Bonaparte, and called him
man, who has thrown he Alexanders and the
Caesars infinitely farther behind than they stood
in advance Of the most eminent of their pre-
decessors-that singular man, who, whether he
was seated on his imperial throne, deciding the
fate of nations, and alotting kingdoms to the
members of his family, with the aame compo
sure, if not with the same affection, as that with
which Virginia father divides his plania tons
among bis children, or on the miserable rock OF
St. Helena, to which he was condemned by the
cruelty and the injustice of his unworthy VIC
tors. is equally an object of the most intense
admiration. He appears to have comprehended
with the rapidity of intuition, the true interests
ola state, and to have been able, by the turn 81
single expression, to develope the secret
springs Of tha policy Of cabinets"
The following beautiful comparison is co
pied from the same great Speech. It is a
striking picture, ske,ched by the hand of .

thus described it, are alike .2ner5ean

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.

Professor ObMsTED. of the University
Of North carolina, has ascertained that
a fine illuminating gas may be obtained
from cotton seed. The product of gas
from bushel ofseed, is more than dou-
BILE the average product of the same
quantity Of New Castle coal, and great
ly exceeds that in Illuminating power
1t partakes of the purity OF gas from
oil, with which substance, indeed, this
seed is known to abound.
=. The experiments already made induce
The belief, that among all substances
hitherto tried for gas illumination, this
article will be found the most eligible
Especially for our Southern cities, where
cotton seed can be obtained at very
trifling expense; and the idea is sug-
gested that this article may become Of
considerable value for expectation
The vast quantity of seed, amounting to
many millions of pounds that annually
accumulate in our cotton districts, form
ing pile almost useless and sometimes
noxious, would, it is thought, afford ma
terials for Illuminating almost every city
in the U. States.
1t is expected that Mr.. Olmsted will
shortly make public his experiments and
scientific results on this subject.
