Improvements in the construction Of Chinnips.
Perhaps in the construction of house ;here is
no part more difficult or liable to so macy objections
as the formation OF the chimnies IS there snv par,
IN which impediments to comfort so frequently
arise. There few who have moi experienced
he Inconvenience Of smoky chimnieS and who have
not been put 10 serious expense often Intellectual
ly-to remedy the evil We are glad, however, to
find that scientific man has turned his attention 10
the subject and that alter various experiments, he
has at length succeeded in suggesting plan by
hch all the imperfectons hitherto known to
isl may be completely ob,iated This plan has
reen submitted to the Judgment OF some of the best
practical architects oil the day, and hos received
their unqualified apr oballon and il is now applied
not ONLY to all the chmnes erecting in the new pal
ace in St. James Pa k, but to he Post Office, and
all other public buildings in progress. The public
are indebted to MIR. Hort. the Chief Examiner IN
his Msjesty's Office Of Works, for this useful in
vention and this gentleman has devoted much OF
his time, by evening lectures, 10 explain to builders
the advantage and simplicity OF his plan, who h
consists in the substitution o! hnrs tunnels OF any
diameter, capable OF being ncorpo s,ed within the
usual thickness OF walls, instead OF The old plan oil
square hues. Each hue is surrounded in every d
recion, from top to DO tom, BY cavities encing
at the back Of every FIRE place, and connected with
each other. The air confined within these cavities
is ny me neat OF any one hre, rendered sutlGenty
warm to prevent condensation within all The nues
contained in the same stack Of chimnies; and what
renders the new invention more important is the
fact that the iues may be carried in any direction
with as much facility as eathern pipe without IN
the slightest degree. deviating from the origina
circular form 1t would DE difficult, by mere yer
bal description, to convey an adequate idea of tn,
whole of the plan but it is capable of being mad,
clear TO the commonrst capacity by few MINUTES
instruction. The work is accomplished by the all
OF bricks Of peculiar shape, for which paen
has been obtained; and by the mode OF placin,
those bricks which numbered according to
model with which the workman is provided per
; pendcular, horizontal, or curved shape is auaine
with the greatest facility, the circular form of tn
fue being still preserved with ma,hema ica nicely
without the necessity oil cutting single brick ar
y the expense will not exceed more than four shil
!. lings foot than is expended in the common mod

e. secured by this plan are--irst, the certainty of
Of quick and uninterrupted draft; secondly the prs

which will altogether supersede the painful necessity
of employing climbing boys. Another advantage
is also gained with respect to the appearance OF the
ehimnies on tops of houses. The present unseen.
ly shafts, which are frequently raised to danger
Gus height, may be dispensed with and the tops or
examinations Of the chimncys completely hidden
from view. We have model and drawing Of
the plans which at once exhibit the simplicity OF
the invention and the only surprise is that so val
liable an improvement, in the art OF building should
so long have escaped the research OF those who
have experienced it's necessity. AT present, the
demand for the patent bricks exceeds the power OF
the patentee to supply; but arrangements are ma
king which it is hoped will enable builders to bring
the plan into universal adoption. 1t may be proper
to add, tina, the principle ia CAPABLE oil being applied
to the tops and bottoms oil old Hues with great adj
vantage.

we would, therefore, advise them TO take the p.u
part of it. They can for the present get the most
man their country contains to fill their high Offices Wb"
their demand for Office ceases, and the Presidential G

Our worthy cousin of the American, who has OF
late taken the political reputation OF Mr.. CAL
uouN into his sacred keeping, aud is striving to de.
fcnd him against the excavations Of an abused
people, has, in his paper Of yesterday, sailed out
in an attack upon Mr.. LLoyo, a Senator from Mass
achusetts. Thus speaks our cousin
Even Mr.. Lloyd, whose age, standing, habits,
and one would have thought, opinions and princi-
ciples too, warranted an expectation Of better things
from him, is stated, before he lett the Senate Cham
Der on Thursday, to have caused a written chal-
lenge 10 he put into the hands Of Mr.. Randolph,
which, however, did not delay that gentleman's i'm
mediate departure from Washington. II would be
difficult TO estimate the mischief which the Honour
able Senator has done during the late session Of
Congress"
We are at a loss TO say when or where Mr..
LLOYD, who has always distinguished himself as the
friend Of the Administration, has originated mis-
chief to such an amount that it would be difficult
to place on it a proper :" estimate.' We will whis-
per a secret to you, Mr.. American you will find
it a difficult task to write up Mr.. JOHN c. CAL
HoUN. That's all.

WooDsTocK.-We have had the pleasure Of pc
rusins a few fthe pages of this last Of the Waye,ly
Novels, and have been highly pleased with them
We understand the work has been received in
town and is ready for circulation at the Libraries OF
Messrs. MARTIN ROBINSON and GEORGE DANA.
The Editor of the National Gazette, for whose
judgment, notwithstanding all his egotism, osnceit
and pedantry, we entertain much respect, pronoun-
css it superior TO any of the novels written BY the
same author. We should have furnished our read
ers with a few extracts from Woodstock, were
we not fearful Of innovatins on the rights of
the Librarians.
BosroN MONTHLY MAGAzINE.-We are in
debted to the publisher of This work for the number
for May, which contains, as usual, many articles OF
interest. Mr.. KNAPP, the intelligent and talented
Editor, spares no pains to make his periodical USE
full to the public, and will, we trust, meet with that
patronage he deserves. The Monthly Magazine
promises to become one of the most popular period
icals in New-England.
NIcnoLsoN's OPERATIVE MEcHANIc.--Ths
first number ofthis valuable work, republished from
the second London edition, by Messr,. Cary & Lea,
Philadelphia, has been placed upon our desk fer Pc
rusal. We have given it a cursory reading, and al
though most Of the mechanical mysteries il devel-
ops, are still mysteries to us, we are Of opinion it is
a work Of great merit, and such an one a, ought TO
grace the library o fevery mechanic ofthis mechan.
ical community. Subscriptions for it will be receiv-
ed by Mr.. DANA, the Agent, and at the Office of
The Literary Cadet.

THEATRIcAL.-On Monday evening, our Thea.
tire will open with Homes tragedy Of Douglas, or
The Noble shepherd-the part of Young Norval to
be sustained by Mr.. FIELDS young gentleman who
performed the same character two or. three time,
with success, last winter, in Boston. Mr.. FIELD.
though quite a lad, possesses talents for the Drama,
which will, with proper cultivation, elevate hir
to the first honors Of the profession. We speak Of
his performances from observation, having seen him
several times in Boston the last season.
We fear, however, that the introduction of thi,
young gentleman at the commencement of the sea.
son, will not satisfy the expectations of the public,
since they were led to believe that Mr.. HAMBLIN,
who has been in town more than a week, would ap-
pear at the opening of the Theatre. Perhaps, how
ever, the arrangements between Mr.. KILNER, the
Manager, and Mr.. HAMBLIN, would not admit Of
an early appearance Of the latter gentleman, and it
is hoped the community will he satisfied.
Mr.. HAMRLIN, we trust however, will not be suf-
fered to leave us, without giving specimens Of his
distinguished talents. We have had the pleasure
Of witnessing him in New York and Boston, where

Hamlet he is second to no performer that has ever
graced the American boards. This is the only cha
racter we have seen him in, but report speaks in the
highest terms Recommendation ofhis other perform
ances.
Itis understood that the Manager has made pre-
p~arations TO get up severn! new pieces, and that ar.
engagements have been made with distinguished his
trionic gentlemen to grace the Theatre during the
ensuing dramatic season. We rejoice in noticing
the fact, and assure the Manager that if he seeks
the qualification ofthe people, he may be assured
of receiving abundant reward.

MIR. CALHOUN, when organizing tho Senate, was
careful to place at the head of all the important commit
tees men personally and politically opposed to Mr..
CLAY. A. the head of the Committee Of Foreign Re-
lations, he placed NAThAsIEL MACON man who has
long been an inveterate and fixed enemy to Mr.. CLAY
"A man as incapable o! discharging the trusts committed
to him, as he Is OF controlling the finances of the British
Exchequer. Mr.. CALHoUN, knowing that Mr.. MA
cos was determined in his hostility, and that lie never
changed his opinions or the cut of his coat, and being
aware that as Chairman Of the COMMITTEE of Foreign
Relations, il II would be necessary for him to have daily
and hourly intercourse with the Secretary Of State, Sc
lec,ed him as a suitable tool to annoy that officer in the
discharge Of his duty.
Literary cadet, and Saturday evening bulletin. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1826-1827, 1826-05-27

edge Of the game he had p~ractised on their too con-
fding credulity.
At the commencement OF the last session Of Con-
gress, Mr.. CALHouS, contrary toimmemoriaI usage,
but not in violation Of Of his constitutional rights,
was the first man in the Senate chamber. Ifhis
early appearance there had been prompted by an
honest devotion to the interests of the country, or
by natural habits of industry, the circumstance
would have redounded to his credit. But he came
not thus early to assist the councils of the nation,
butt TO distract and confuse them, and to adopt the
most efficient measures to introduce confusion and
Reorganization. All this was evident in the ap-
p%ointment of Committees;+ and the policy thus pur-
sued by him is unexampled in the history ofpar-
liamentary opposition.
Standing to this nation in the relation Of its Sc
cond officer, he has suffered himself to disgrace the
confidence reposed in him; and reckless of conse-
quence, has traduced the fame and vilifed the
dignity of the body over which he ~preside.; and
transformed the Senate Chamber into hall Of po-
litical ~jugslers, mountebauks and gladiators.
Like the enraged Lion, he has dashed his sides,
and amidst the writings of disappointed ambition
and blasted hopes, has resorted to the vilest o fslan-
der and the grossest Of coutumely, TO bring the Pres
ident and Secretary Of State into disrepute; but
whilst he has pursued the dictates OF mad ambition,
he has ruined his own prospects and furnished his
own fame. No longer hoping for success, or exalt-
ed honors, he has given himself up to all the impul-
ses of conflicting passions, and prostituted at the
shrine ofinfamy, the rich endowmenfs ofhis Creator
aud the rare embellishments of his education.
Despised and condemned by the good, the vir-
tuous and the just, he sits alone in the Senatorial
Chair, and listens without resentment, to the re-
proaches OF JoHN RANDOLPH OF Roanoke, and re-
ceives the merited execration, Of an outraged peo-
pie. Decency and morality shrink before the
whitening blasts Of his malignity, and patriotism
turns pale at the annunciation of his name.
Such is a feeble, an imperfect sketch of JOHN
C.. CALHOUN, of south-C Carolina and the Vice.
President Of the United States.
