low, that the militia Of q slate, liable at any and at
every moment to be called upon to defend the soil,
should at least be drilled three times a year, and be
taught that a bsyonet is not a msrlin-spike, and that
a musket is a weapon of defence THAT the duties
of the camp and the art Of war, are not so easily ia
niliarized to the mind of a young soldier, as many
sppreheud, we trust will be admitted by all, and we
cannot but entertain a hope that a radical re-reform
will soon take place in this interesting branch ofour
domestic relations.
Great credit, however is due, to the militia Of
Rhode Island, for the acquaintance evinced by them
in "wars vast art" and although it be small, it
gives an abundant earnest, that under a correct dis
cipline, they will soon be enabled to compete with
any of the soldiery of the continent.
The several independent corps Of the town, are
deserving Of the warmest ~encomium, for the zeal
and interest they manifest in their profession, and
we hazard not much when we say, that their mar
tial appearance, discipline and knowledge of militia
ry tactics, is no where rivalled.-Ambitious and
patriotic, they set the embarrassment placed before
them at defiance and aim at nothing but laud-
able preferment and the advancement Of the cha
racter Of the American SOLITARY.

By the Elbe, arrived at New-Yo rk,
advices from Buenos Ayres to the 18th
February have been received. Official in
formation had been received there, of the
surrender of the Spanish Island of Chloe,
on the coast of Chill, to the Chilian Su-
preme Director, Don Remer Friere. This
island was the last retreat of the Spanise
loyalists under Gen. Quintonilla.
River of Ptate.-The news from this
quarter is but little later han that before
received at Baltimore. Com. Brown had
published accounts of the two brushes he
had with the Brazilian squadron, under
Admiral Lobo, for an hour each time. He
complains that he was deserted by his
squadron, which kept aloof, and that he
was left to fight tho battle alone.-But af-
ter all, it seems he had only M mar kill
ed, and four wounded; and suffered a little
in his hull and sails. The relative force
of the two sQuadrons has before been given.
At the last date they were seven miles a.
part only.

CONGRESS.

APRIL Tin the Senate, nothing Of conse-
quence transpired, and part ofthe day was absorb
ed in discussing the propriety Of amending certain
Of the rules Of that body. The several motions
on the subject were laid on the table.
Ma. RANDOLPH, made a speech m which he as.
sailed Mr.. Holmes Of Elaine, with some severity,
for having the day before intimate that he, Mr.. r.
was a friend to Mr.. Calhoun. He denied the
charge with much v%ehemence, and in effect declar-
ed, what no one ever doubted, that he was a friend
to 40 man. He said he did not wish Mr.. Holmes,
a gentleman with whom he was but slightly ac-
quainted, to form enmities or friendships for him,
and that that gentleman had no authority for the
remarks he made the day before in relation to his
attachments to, or friendship for,the Vice President.
He went on to some length, and concluded with the
following quotation.
Friendship, like love, is but u name,
Unless to one you stint the flame,
The child, whom many fathers share
Has seldom felt a fathers care:
IT'S thus with friendship-who depend
On many, rarely find a friend.

The Polly Small Frye and /" Gresorie Grunts''
who lnhabit the novels adjacent to the Basin in
Baltimore, were on the morning of the 18th inst.
greeted with a most glorious treat.
A well-fed, fat and merry vissaged man was found
floating IN the water, apparently alive, but making
no %exertions to get out. Some said they saw him
a few minutes before, run down the street and
plunge oil the wharf; othars supposed that he had
fallen oil accidentiy but il appeared impossible to
ascertain correctly whether accident or design had
placed him in that situation.
The persons collected went to work 10 get him
out, aud after having him on the wharf and apply
ins the usual means for the resuscitation of drowned
persons, he exhibited pretty clear symptoms of life,
by rolling and thrashing about LASTLY, and by call
ing on the bystanders 10 beat him on The head" for
he must die" and he " could die." None of the
crowd saw fit to accommodate him with a bow; and
after begging to be despatched for ONE time, and
after the cold bath had time to produce its effects, he
rot up and went away apparently reconciled to his
fate of being compelled to live u little longer, and
of being doomed to renew his ~potation, of doct.

<Chesapeake and Deiauars Cdnai-We have
been favored by a friend with the perusal Of
letter from gentleman who lately visited the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal We make
the following extract:
81 found very strong force engaged on the
work, and every prospect of its being compIet-
ed in short time The tide lock of the Della
ware river is finished, and, three or four sections
of the canal excava,ed. The "Deep Cut" at the
Buck tavern, is really wonderful to behold; it is
now fortyyfue feet deep, and requires depth Of
hwty:fUe feet more TO make it on level with
the survey below The dirt is thrown up noun
tain high, and lies in masses as far as The eye
can reach. There are $500 men constantly at
work, Irish, Dutch, WEIGH, French, Swiss, and
Negroes An abutment for stone bridge over
the canal at the Buck, has just been laid, to be
sprung by one arch, 90 feet from the water The
mode in which the dirt is taken up, is by erea-
vators, worked by horse power; the mill is built
something similar to bark mill, and attached
to it are two large cylinders, each of which
takes yard Of earth every five minutes; it
would be impossible for carts TO take it up"

THE Island Of Cuba.-All accounts agree in
representing that important events respecting
the fate of this Island are likely to be develop
ed in the course Of few months; and it is ma
nifest, that the people, particularly those Of Ha-
yana, begin to feel great solicitude about the
gathering of the hosts in their neighborhood.
a few weeks will give to the Mexican Republic
maratime force of sufficient magnitude to
cope with the Spanish squadron on something
like an equality, and the probable accession OF
many valuable and gifted officers will soon
place the nautical skill of the new fleet far above
that possessed by the royal squadron. Acorn
binaton of the Colombian and Mexican fleets,
as is supposed to be contemplated, must, when
ever the intentions OF the republics are carried
into effect, shut up the port OF Havana Tor
time, ana it is doubtful whether this circum-
stance may not produce great uneaslness a.
mong the dense population of the country; at
all events, stock of the necessaries Of life laid
I'D in season, would not be amiss- report
reached New-York on Saturday, that an embar-
90 was to be laid in Havana, on the 10th OF
February, on all small vessels in port, the cause
not assigned, but probably in consequence OF
the expected sailing of the feet for exercise.

FAIR WEATHER.

New-York, Feb. 24-Yesterday was day
picked out of Ten Thousand. The Thermome-
ter stood nearly at 60 in the shade, and the fair
sex fluttered in their gayest attire up and down
Broadway for many hours. Every thing that
could put smile on, was out Yesterday for the
benefit Of the fresh air The old bachelors flung
aside their dreadnoughs, and actually paraded
for hours with the white glove dangling be-
tween the finger and thumb like an icicle on
Diana's chaste temple. The old maids hung
their canary cages out by the window, and made
their first appearance for the season in yellow
bonnets and black wells flung over their shout
ders The pretty young girls were as plenty
in the promenade as midges in the sun, and at
fer one turn in the street the warmth Of the
weather made the colour mount their cheeks.
The young maidens made their entrance early,
and the dowagers sailed along in prime style.
In short our good city was quite full of splen-
dour and sunshine yesterday, circumstance
which we hope may happen oft and again.

But, how is the pupil, by the definitions IN
the old system, to distinguish the cases? He is
to know the nominative by its being the agent
or the subject of the verb; and the objective by
its being the object of an action or ola relation.
But frequently the actor is in the objective case,
and the object Of the action is in the nomina-
tive case; as, The Christians were prosecuted
by Saul. The definition then is inconsistent,
creates confusion, and leaves the learner In
doubt.
might make further remarks upon the new
system, and point out many advantages which
il possesses; but deem it unnecessary, as my
intention is merely to induce teachers in partl-
cuar, and the friends to the science in general,
to examine it for themselves, 1t is much to be
regretted, that little or no improvement has
been made in the science of English Grammar
since the publication of Mr.. Murray's system:
This work has for long time been considered,
not only the standard, but the acme of English
Philology; and to this circumstance may be at
tributed, the little improvement, if any, made
by those authors who have pursued the same
system. But happy for teachers and youth,
James Brown has ven;ured to oppose the Mo
NARcH-a republican system has been formed
a revolution is taking place, under which the
patience of the teacher will not be exhausted
in explaining absurd principles, nor youth be
disguised by being taught to pirate about what
they cannot understand.
After these remarks, it is almost superhuous
to add, that the new system will seen be intro
duced into my school,
