PREJUDICES.

Prejudice is common In greater or less de-
gree TO all men. When prince dies at Japan,
there are generally fifteen or twenty Of his sub
iects, who, in their zeal and affection, rip open
their bellies, and expire with him. Those who
make the largest and deepest incissions acquire
the creates, glory. An officer Of the Emperor
Of Japan, as he was mounting the imperial STAIR
case, met with another who was defending 1t.
Their swords struck against each other; the
latter was offended by it. and made an angry re-
mark TO the former, who excused himself by
atlributing the circumstance TO accident-ad-
ding, that the two swords had rubbed against
each other, aud that one was quite as good as
the other. "You shall see" replied the ag-
gressor, "the difference which there is between
two swords" He Immediately drew his and
plugged it into his belly. The other, who "as
ambitious Of like honour FASTENED up the
staircase, to serve at the cable Of the emperor a
dish which he bad in his hands, and returned 10
his rival, who was expiring from the wound he
had inflicted upon himself. He asked him if
he still breathed, and Immediately drawing his
own sword, he followed the example of the dy-
ing man.-"You should not have anticipated
me" said he to him, "if you had not found me
occupied in the service of the emperor; bu,
die happy, since have had an opportunity Of
convincing you that my sword IS as good as
yours" A Frenchman (says the author oflhis
story,) on reading this, will deplore the mad
ness Of these two oriental enthusiasts; and yet
he will go, the very same evening, to expose his
life in the steel of bully and die by the sword,
IN order that he may punish the man who has
nsaitsd him. tits the usage OF the country;

NEW APPLICATION OF STEAM.
MIR. VIM. Harkins, halter Of this place, has
invented method of heating all the different
kettles used in his establishment with steam
In the lower apartment of his shop he has a
small steam boiler, which cost about $40, and
contains IS gallons-from this the steam is con-
veyed in tu0es TO the different parts Of the shop
where the hats are hardened, boiled, planked &
coored; one fire thus answering for the whole
and wooden vessels are substituted instead Of
iron and copper ones. II has long been known
that water, when confined, can be raised 10
very high temperature; but we have never seen
it so satisfactorily and usefully demonstrated as
in Mr.. Harkins' halter shop. Mr.. H. assures
US, that with his small boiler, more than four
hundred gallons of water and dye liquor can be
sustained at the boiling point. We cannot pre-
tend to point out all the advantages resulting
from this improvement-some Of them ale We
ry apparent. In the first place, copper kettles
are no longer required and there is great sa-
wing in fuel and water. On the old plan the
workmen at the planks have to stand round
hot furnace, which must be very oppressive in
warm weather, and there is some difficulty in
regulating the fire and filling up the kettle,
these Inconvenience are all obviatec. By means
Of a stop cock, inserted into the tube conveying
the steam, the workmen can regulate the tenn
perature Of the water at pleasure, and as the
condensation Of the steam on entering the tub
or kettle as it is yet called, is about equal to e.
evaporation, it is kept constantly full, and in
little time, full of distilled water, which is best
for the purpose. Mr.. Harkins has applied for
a patent.

THE LATE JUBILEE CELEBRATION.
The hftieth anniversary Of American indie
pendence, was celebrated at the house OF Mr..
M'Coy, in the town Of Dover, with more than
common manifestations of Joy. The day was
wet and unpleasant; but the presence OF a num-
Der Of ladies, whose smiles will turn the darkest
hour into one of sunshine, added much to the
enjoymenls Of the day. After partaking OF
well prepared and sumptuous dinner, the cloth
was removed, Arthur Fox, Esq was called TO
the chair, assisted by Col. John Manner as vice
president, and Sanders w. Craig as secretary.
JAMES BYERs rose and observed--1 have risen
for the purpose of toasting our distinguished
countryman, Henry Clay. Upon this subject,
am aware that differ from some of my political
friends at this table. Mr. Clay has been censured
for his vote at the last presidential election.
Here will only remark, that while Mr.. Adams
is supported by Clay, Barbour, and Rush,
shall have no fears of the administration; and
feel satisfied, that in giving this vote, Mr..
Clay was actuated by no other than honest mo-
tives. In all the situations In which he has
been placed, he has acquitted himself with SO
much ability and correctness, that | am con-
strained still to give him my undivided conn
dence and my support. Mr.. Clay owes nothing
TO wealth or 70 opulent friends From an hum
bic situation in life, he has risen upon his o'0n
merits, and the boundless resources OF MS ot0n
mind; in his approach to the elevated and non
ourable station which he now occupies, his
march has been as "pillar OF fire. lighting
surrounding nations to liberty, TO prosperity, &
TO happiness, His mental endowments, and
his intellectual powers, placed him foremost IN
our national assembly, where he was so long
tho ,r;de and boast of Kentucky; where be SO OF

From the New-York Commercial Advertiser Aug 3d. !
haUasion of NeW- York I'VE presume that the
reading world, who have supposed the civilized
part OF the universe in state Of profound peace,
will be startled at the appalling title of this pa
lagraph. But it is true nevertheless. 1t is
well known that Gen. GaHiapper, with an i'm
mense host of troops from Musqueto Cove, has
been lowering round our city for several weeks
past; and from the frequency with which forag-
ing parties have secured the town, and the au-
dacity with which they have even entered the
houses and shed the rich blood of our most re-
spectacle citizens, it was feared the foe were
nearly out of provisions, and would soon be
driven to a general attack. Nor has this
anticipation been ll-founded. For several days
past, heavy columns, resembling clouds, have
been moving upon us from various directions,
bur principally from the Grand Encampment
upon the Jersey meadows, until on Saturday
night, and last night again, the whole city SEEM
ed to lie full Of the foe. The guns Of Castle
Garden having been dismounted, The enemy "a
vailing themselves of the darkness of the night,
entered the port holes with the utmost secrecy,
and before six O'Clock this morning, ii is under
stood that, headed by Gen Gallinipper himself,
they had the entire and indisputed possession
of the battery. This intelligence was brought
by some ladies, who walked out while the slug
gard men were yet wrapped in deepest SUM
bers, to inhae the redolent breath Of morn, and
breakfast with Aurora upon the dew. The foe
were in ambush; and Notwithstanding the pro-
lection to which the sex is entitled by every
principle Of gallantry, at the hands of honorable
warriors, we regret TO say that they were cruel
ly assaulted, and only escaped after being CO.
vered with wounds, and with the loss of blood.
The report Of the ladies has been confirmed by
number Of spies sent out to reconnoitre the
position of the enemy; but they state that their
numbers are so great as TO render them abso-
lutely unconquerabe with our present>means,
or until we can receive aid from Admiral b.
reas, or Gen. Frost, whose encampment is so far
at the north that it is vain to expect him before
the middle Of October. Mean time as the bat
terry is taken, it is feared that the citadel itself
must soon surrender. 1t was ascerlained last
evening, that the invaders had made heavy
Judgements of troops in all the churches; and
their struggling musicians were playing all
night to the great annoyance Of our sleepy CT
tiZens.
