The Commissioners have had the honor of receiving yor

of preparing and manufacturing hemp flax, and cotton;

during the ensuing session Of Congress.
The Board would with great Difference suggest for your
consideration, whether the rotng of hemp and flax within
near either of Navy Yards would not have tendency
to render them uneahy and they would observe that the
yards, having under the of Congress for the gradual
improvement of the Navy been arranged with reference

plans adopted, admit of the proposed establishments.

EGOTISM.

Of all the follies which men are apt 10 fall into, to the disturbance of others and lessening of themselves there is none more intolerable than continual egotism and per- pctual inclination to self panegyric. The mention of this weakness is sufficient to ex- pose it since think no man was ever possessed of so warm an affection for his own person, as deliberately to assert, that it, and its concerns are proper topics to entertain company. Yet there are many, who, through want of attention fall into this vein, as soon as the conversation be- gins to acquire life they lay hold of eve ry opportunity of introducing themselves, of describing themselves, and ifpeople are so dull as not to take the hint, of commend ing themselves; nay what is more surpris- ing than all this, they are amazed at the coldness of their auditors forgetting that the same passion inspires almost every body; and that there is scarce man in the room who has not better opinion of himself than any body else.

MISS FRANCES WRIGHT.

It has been justly remarked by celebrated writer, that there IS something uncommony disgusting in the idea of q female intdel. Nothing is more true. To see woman, however lovely and attractive she may be aside from this an advocate and propagator of infdel principles, Is not only but revolt ,ng the highcs, degree. The female I've blush for the honor of the sex when we term her such] whose stands the head of this article, has been de- lvering lectures upon the NewHarmony----or rather as it has been apty termed, "No ony,"-philos- opny the New-Yorkers for some days past who are all agog tc see and hear this 'female monster,' as of the papers call her. What she meet with in spreading her baneful doctrines among the "Gothami,cs," we unable to learn otherwise than by the audience that she collects, which, according to the NewYork papers, has been very numerous- This woman divesting herself of that modcsty which should ever characterize the sex and without which female attractions lose all their zest, mounts the ros attended by some half dozen female disciples, and a faithful esquire, ycleped Timothy Jenkins, and there unhIushingly denounces Christianity be- ing nothing but a farce, and matrimony a form, which should be done away in this enlightened age. 1t IS astonishing that people who wish be consider cd respectable will rush in crowds hear this cor rupt woman spout forth the very dregs of vileness aud advance sentiments which would raise blush upon the cheek of the most abandoned profigate.
 UPUpon the announcement of the marriage of an editor somewhere to the eastward, one of his cotem- poraries wckedly remarks-"Poh! what the d-I has an editor to do with wc-writing for glory and printing on TRUST, he ought to be ashamed ofhim- self to indulge in any such luxury" real Hottcn- tot, this feiew but have seen many pair of bright eyes and ruby lips, that would make him like Benedict the bathelor) forswe his boorsh sen- snents and consent to be bound in the silken cords of matrimony.
