I>oMMUNICATED.

GENTLEMEN: Us this is an age of putting, per
NIT me, through your Native columns, to notice
the "Juvenile" exhibition OF Mr.. GATES scholars,
on Tuesday evening last, in the First Ward. My
object is not to crticse and, if it was, there could
be no possible rom for it,) but barely to make
mention of the e,hibition and to call the attention
of your readers, in that Ward, generally, TO the
School.
/ The exhibition on this occasion was one OF
uncommon interest, aad went oil with great eclat;
and, indeed it is not often we are permitted TO en-
Joy such treat The number of Mr.. G.'s scho-
lars amounts to about forty; and the number OF
performers amounted to something like ten or fit-
teen-their ages varying from twelve to sixteen.
The Church, say Church, for it was i'll one OF
those good and quiet places OF worship, mean
the Quaker meeting house, where the exhibition
was held, and, Ibelieve, occupied, in part, as Mr.
G.'s school-house-was filled entire, as many OF
the airer part of creation were compelled to stand
until the close of the exercises. ..
The scene was truly enchanting-fathers and
mothers, brothers and sisters, together with many
disinterested spectators, were scarcely able to con-
ceal those heartfelt emotions of overwhelming joy
in beholding these amateur performers in the diff
terent branches, such as French, Latin, and
English.
This worthy gentleman has been located but a
few months in that section of the City, and his
teaching has been attended with more than com
mon success.
Thus, gentlemen, are springng up around you,
and, perchance, unknown to many of your read
ers, the seed of your own native soil, vegetating
and maturing fast for aspeedy harvest; and few
more shoWers-I mean showers of sound practi-
cal teachng-such as have already fallen among
them, at the hands of their present cultivator,
will cause them to take deeper root in their natal
land, and he who is now watching over them with
parental care and fondness, WILL in coming life,
be rejoced to behold them arrayed in manhoods $
garb, the vigilant watchmen Of their country S
Freedom.
In conclusion, I will tender Mr.. GATES ma
grateful Acknowledgements for his kind invitation
to this exhibition; and more particularly so, as it
was one free Of charge; and felt myself Just as
well contented as though | had been witness to
a Forrest or Booth. For, gentlemen, you must
know, that we did not attend on this occasion
merely to hear few artculations and be witnesses
to some youthful gestures, but to see fierce com
bat with the broadsword making the old saying
still true-the longer we live, the more we see.
Iwould say to those parents who have children
in the surrounding neighborhood, send them to
Mr.. GATES, for in him they will find an accom-
plished teacher, worthy and amiable man.
P. S.-For terms Of tuition, call upon Mr. G..
at his school-room.

have just returned from Nary Island, where l have been for the purpose of curios- ity. The Island is located in the Niagara River, about half mile from the main Can- ada shore, and about one and a half miles from Chippewa. The branch of the river that separates Navy from Grand Island, is nearly half mile broad and it constitutes the line between the United States and the Province. There are 366 acres on the Island. The current is very rapid on each side of it. The bank of the Island opposite the main Canadian shore is higher than the main shore, and descends towards the opposite side. They have now six cannons-One IS and five pounders; two of them are brass. There are three comfortable log dwellings upon the eaSterly side of the Island occupied by the volunteers. l endeavored to count their numbers, but found it quite impossible, as some were engaged m clearing roads, others at work at their barracks, some were asleep. others on sentry, were in the houses. They were drilled in separate companies, and | doubt whether the officers know their exact force. They are continually increasing fifty volunteers came upon the island on Sunday last. Different estimations were given me upon the island generally between 5OO and 700; but my own opinion is, that their number does not exceed 500. Gen. Van Rensselaer,, believe to be good off, cer, well qualified for his situation. He is mild yet firm and decided, and his soldiers nave the utmost confidence in him. A more athletic, hardy company of men never saw, and although the conduct of some of them. while m Buffalo and Black Rock, had creat- cd in my mind some prejudice against them. yet can do them the justice to say, that bet ter soldiers, in my opinion, cannot be found.

 Domestic Sik.-This morning, our venera- ble fellow-citizen, Adam Lindsay, presented himself as juror in our court clad in a full rearing, which was reeled, spun and wove in his own family, and with the exception of the coloring and dressing, entirely manufactured under his own roof. It consists of frock coat, vest, and pantaloons, made of the coars- CT part or floss of the cocoon, and is of a firm. ness and thickness to insure the warmth ne- cessary for even winter weather. The old gentleman, thus wrapped, and rejoicing in me success that has crowned his persevering eiIorts m this branch of production and man. uiacture. appears to have renewed his youth, ana exhibits vigor which belongs to an age much less mature than his own.
 Besides these warm and comfortable gar. menus m wnicn ne IS clad. he shows also a pair of fine and beautifully soft white sill, stockings. made of the more delicate parts ot the silk. For strength and evenness of fab. TIC. those appear not inferior to the article we import from foreign countries.

Crocket's Memory-Among the many re- markable qualities of David Crockett was his wonderful memory, of which my friend Col. A. whom he ran against for Congress, lately gave the following anecdote in proof When we begun our electioneering cam- paign, said Col. A. "not being able to speak very we'll extempore, or rather not at all, wrote speech with great care, and commit ted it to memory. I delivered this at three several meetings, and was good deal gratl- fled in believing that it was very well receiv- ed. I had always spoken first, but at the fourth meeting, which was very numerous one, Crockett proposed that he take the lead. | He accordingly mounted the stand, and to my amazement recited the whole of my | speech, and only changed sentence or two to suit his own case. l never felt SO awk- ward in my life. My turn to speak came, and my speech was gone, stolen-used up and was left without word to say. And to complete my modification. the rascal was chuckling and laughing as f he had done the cloverest thing in the world"
