CAPTAIN MARRYATT AND OTHERS.

Whenths imitator of Smolet (sed longo ntervao)
in the United States he received the attentions usually
paid to foreigners by the class Of sycophants who think
greatness and that the farther comes from home
the more he is to be honoled.
Nevertheless he not so pampered by people, or
taken with institutions, to forget weakness or
his loyalty The "reminiscences of what he had eat
and drank in compliment to great men at their pr-
vate tables and the cvilities he received from official
station, not strong enough to repress his appetite
when called upon to eat and drink against u.s. and hence
we find him uttering the following toast:
Capt. Marryah's toasi-Capt. Marryat the novelist,
at the ST. Georges dinner recently given at Toronto
offered the following toast:
Sept Dfe,0 and his brape comrades who cu out The
Caroline"
The achievement thus signalzed by Capt. Marryat
of the most base and cowardy that happened on
the frontier during the nsrectonary movements
oes, is only fit to be associated with robbers Of hen
roosts and sackers Of daries There s however, air
Of malignancy in the sentiment which, in the present
state of that unfortunate affair." indicates OF hatred
towards people, than lack of high and chva
rous principles of honor.-NIes' Register.
We can only blame the want Of truth and justice in
this individual but cannot accuse him Of fatessness,
for he ctzen but there others among u.s. and
those too receiving large salaries with honorary
moi known to the law who not merely not friends to
the country but sustaining their pretensions 10 loyalty
subjects of their rghul Kings, by means beyond the
limits Of our Republic We shall endeavor to expose
them.

a Ne,o Iavenfion IN Fire .9rms.-The New
Hampshire Courier says, that James Eaton,
gunsmth of Concord N. H., has invented al
important improvement in loading and dischargine
the mnsket or the rifle, with rotary magazine
capable Of containing powder, balls and caps
sufficient fortwenty-foar rounds, and it may !, oe
loaded in one minute, and give twenty-four dis-
lnct discharges in four minutes! One chamber pei
is assigned for balls, one for powder, and one ior
on the can. merely by turning the magazine halt
wav round and its construction renders it per-
cec;l,, safe as no ball can be lodged midway in
,ba r;ae nor can fire communicate with the maga-
zne. Twenty-four pieces, including every spring,
screw, and pin, complete this wonderful piece OF
machinery.

.Artifcial Rubies and Emeralds.-We learn
from recent letter from Dr.. Cooper, published
in the Columbia Telescope, that, at his sugges-
ton, DR.. Elicit, Professor of Chemistry in the
South Carolina College, has repeated, with prom
Use Of success, the experiment Of a French Che
mist, for the production of artificial rubies and
emeralds, by means Of pure alumine acted on by
the compound blow-pipe, with chrome as the co.
loring matter. Perfect rubies were produced by
Professor Elicit, which easily scratched an agate
seal. The basis was pure alumine, and the co.
lorng matter bchromat Of potash. If the speci-
men be taken as soon as fused, it is ruby; if the
heat be continued, the chronic acid is converted
into oxyde Of chrome; and an emerald is the re-
suit. The specimens were Of fine color, transpa-
rent, and the experiment unobjectionable and sat
lisfactory.-C Charleston Courier.

The Sandaoich lslands.-It is stated that when
first visited by navgators, sixty years ago, these
islands had population amounting to 100000
souls; that they are now dwindled down to no.
900, and that causes are in operation which con-
tinue to reduce their numbers yearly. II is stated
that hardly more than one in four families now
existing, have children living; and that according
to the last census the whole number of children
amounting to but little more than third of the
whole population. Yet, the climate salubrious,
favorable to health, and the means of subsistence
are easily obtained. The chief causes of the de-
cline Of population are the introduction of ardent
spirits, and the habits of RIGHTEOUSNESS now and
heretofore prevalent in the islands.

| Distressing Suicide--A young Englshman,
named Charles Matthews, who had been persua-
ded to abscond from his creditors in London,
with $4,000 worth of silk goods, arrived lately
at New York, and took boarding at one of the
most fashionable boarding houses. He was ira
ced and arrested, but on giving up the goods in
his possession, he was released. On Saturday
afternoon, some of his fellow boarders taxed
him with the circumstance, when he burst into
agony of tears, and they dessted from further in
quiries. Last Sunday he was seen wandering
about the woods near Hoboken, in state ofgreat
mental excitement, and on Monday his lifeless
body was found floating in the water. At the
time of his flight he left wife and two young
children in London, who are now deprived Of
their protection by this rash act, brought on by
his having made but one step from the paths Of
rectitude.-BaH. San.
