the cavities of the chest, and to predispose
the various organick affections of the
heart. Thus while one man may be subdu-

pidity, lose the force and elasticity of his
mental powers, and eventually die with dis
ease of the heart-the consequence of too

The lighter wines form the most common

perance Is comparatively unknown. Pure
wines do not produce such deletcrlous eff
tects upon the system as are produced by
spirits: He that should introduce success
fnl cultivation of the wine into this country,
the manufacture of wine, and its general use
among the people, would deserve to be rank
ell among its benefactors. A large proper
ton of the wines usually consumed in this
country are far from being pure. They con-
tain large quantities of alcohol; so that their
effect upon the system varies not much from
that of distilled spirits.-Lo,Uei Jour.
ENGINE. A new Engine, built at Man
chester, Mass. by Mr.. Z. TApPAN, was ex-
hiblted in this town yesterday. 1t is calcu-
lated to be drawn by horses, and from ap-
pearance is one of the best Engines that we
have ever seen. Our town needs an engine
which will hold water, and We recommend
selling or giving away some of those we
now have, and purchasing the above. The
Importance OF good engine will be known
when our wooden buildings are threatened
BY destructive fire. Mr. Japan can at
ford to sell the above for $3.50, which will
be worth about halfa dozen of those now on
hand. We believe there is no engine at
Sandy Bay, though there is one or more Fire
Companies.-Gtou. Telegraph.

EDUCATION IN AUSTRIA. A French pa
per says, the system employed through
out Austria for spreading instruction a.
mong the lower orders, is attended with
great success. In each village are schools,
of which the masters are paid by govern
ment. No one is allowed TO marry who
cannot read, write, and show some &C.
quaintance with arithmetick>: and, under
a penalty, no master can employ work.
man who is not able to read and write.-
Small works on moral subjects, written
with great care, are circulated among the
lower classes. Hence crimes are extreme
ly rare and in the course of a twelve
month scarcely two executions take place
in Vienna.-N York Courier f. Eng.

Capo D'lstrias from the sovereignty, which
excited some regret on the part of the friends
of Greece, since his administration, so far.

afforded the best grounds ofhoping for the
restoration of the prosperity of the country !;
but the protocol does not appear to exclude
him, the provision being, that the monarch
shall be some "Christian chief or PRINCE"
and he comes within this description.
