he has enjoyed during his abode in their city.
Experience confirming the suggestions of correct
reasoning has convinced him that the proficiency of
pupils in acquiring foreign languages is much greater
when each class consists of ten twelve individuals
than when it is composed of greater or OF smaller
number-The approach of his second quarter and the
advanced proficiency CT his first pupils admonshes him
hatt is expedient to make arrangements for new class

Ne,o- York, Mayll-By the steamboat Wash,
ington, Capt Bunker, we yesterday received
the Boston papers Of Tuesday, from which we
have extracted the following:
From HaHfar.-We have Halifax dates TO the
2sth ult. inclusive, bu: their contents are most
" without interest Since the last general e.
lection, the circumstances OF Nova Scotia ap.
pear to have vastly improved. Education has
been more extensively ditiused, and new train
Of feeling has been generally excited. Wegive
the following extract OF letter from our COR
respondent:
"HaEjar, AprH 2s.-For the last two or three
days, we have had few arrivals. The admiral
with his squadron arrived yesterday from Ber
muda, but brings nothing new.
"The subject which now occupies all our at
tention, is the approaching election ofmembers
to serve in the General Assembly, Tor the coun-
ty and township of Halifax. Three have offer
ed for the town, six for che county; two are 10
be returned for the first and four Tor the latter.
The canvassing, for the las: six or eight days
has been warm and active, and we much fear,
from the heat of party feeling, already appa-
rent, that the contest will be violent, and may
terminate in serious consequences. Your way
of managin. these affairs is much to be prefer
red to ours. ] admire the ballot election as
one of the best features of your constitution"
Mr. Stevens has, we are informed, at length
put his steam carriage in motion. 1t travelled
round the circle a, the Hoboken Hotel yester-
day, at the rate Of about six miles an hour
The curve of this circle is very rank, much
more so than can be possibly required in pur-
suing the route of "a road This great deviation
from straight line gives rise to an enormous
friction, the greater part of which, however,
Mr.. S. has contrived means to obviate. This
engine and carriage weighs less than ton,
whereas those now in use in England weigh
from eight to ten tons. His original intention
was to give the carriage motion Of sixteen or
twenty miles ar hour but he has deemed il
more prudent to move, in the first instance,
at moderate velocity, and has accordingly al
tered the geering, which renders it impractical
bic to move fast. 1t will be in motion again to-
morrow from 3 O'Clock till sun down

Valuable Improvements.

THE Subscriber, living at present near New
ark, has invented a machine for cutting tubs,
buckets, &c from whole timber. The ware is
cut and smoothcd ready for hopping, &c at the
same time by chissels, without manuel labour
making the ware very handsome and durable,
leaving no cracks for dirt to gather in, nor can
such ware ever fall to 'staves'.
The cost ofbuilding one would be about $25,
and it would cut ware enough in one day, to pay
for itself single right may be had for FIFTY
dollars
The Subscriber has also patent for brick
making machine which tempers the clay and
moulds the brick by the labour of one horse,
| and would make more bricks in day, than two
temperers and two moulders.
The cost of building one is about TEN dollars,
and single right can be had for TWENTY dol
lars.
