ARTIFICIAL RUBIEs AND EMERALDs.

We learn from a recent letter OF DR..
Cooper, published in the Columbia Tel
escope, that at his suggestion, DR.. Elicit,
professor of chemistry in the South Car
olina College, has repeated with great
promise of success, the experiment of a
French chemist, for the production OF
artificial rubies and emeraIds, by means
of pure alumine acted on by the COM
pound blow pipe, with chrome as the
coloring matter. Perfect rubies were
produced, by Professor Elicit, which
easily scratched an agate seal. The
basis was pure alumine, and the coloring
matter bcromat of potash. If the spe-
cimen be taken as soon as fused, it is a
ruby; if the heart be continued, the
chronic acid is converted into oxyde oil
chrome, and an emerald is the result
The specimens were of fine color, trans
parent. and the experiment unobjection-
able and satislactory.-CharlestOn Cou.

have reached us.
The Steamboat Bunker Hill has been
driven ashore upon the Canadian side Of

above water. She was on her way up
tho Lake, with large load Of passen-

which is reportedto be lost.
The Monroe lost her rudder in gale
on Tuesday, but succeeded in reaching
port without frrther damage.
The Steamboats, Buffalo and Commo.

April session Of the Court of Common
Pleas, was holden at Perrysburg-the
number Of causes upon the calendar was
about one hundred and fifty. The legal

five or six, and no convictions.

THE STEAM SHIP FOR NEW YORK
The Columbus steamship reached
Liverpool on Saturday, having steamed
round from the river Thames during the
week, and may now be seen in the Ira
ialgar Dock. She will proceed on her
voyage early in April; but this being an
experimental voyage she will not carry
passengers. She is beautiful steam
ship. and is neatly fitted up with accom-
modations for about twenty-five cabin
passengers. She is, it will be recollect-
cd, propelled by Mr.. Howard's patent
vapour engines Of about l2O horses
power, and can carry fifty days fuel at
the same immersion as a steam vessel of
the common plan, OF equal power and
tonnage, can carry twelve days fuel
She will make about ii miles per hour.
We have received the following descrip-
ton OF the machinery Of this vessel from
a correspondent 1.-THE steamer differs
from ali others in having literally no
boilers, she has steam generators in
which water in small quantities is made
TO drop from an orifce on heated plate,
which rests upon stratum Of mercury
about three and a half inches thick,which
is heated up to the temperature of three
or four hundred degrees by means of a
fire underneath The rest Of the engine
is similar to the common low pressure
engines except that the cold water cis-
tern is kept cool by means Of pipes Of
cold salt water running through it. 1t
is originally filed with fresh water, so
that the evil Of using salt water for con-
densation is avoided. The fuel burnt is
coke and stone coal, and the vessel will
carry sufficient for 50days consumption.
The vessel steamed the whole ofthe way
from London, and frequently attained a
speedsof III knots per hour. Such is the
construction Of this vessel; and it must
be acknowledged that great advantages,
even for short voyages, are obtained by
the use Of machinery occupying so little
room as this does. ! am told, however,
that it is found extremely difficult to
keep the joints Of the vessel containing
the mercury perfectly tight, and that the
effect has been seriously to effect the
health Of the men employed. Itappears
TO me, however, that some substitute for
this volatine and dangerous metal, which
melts at 200 degrees, and which is not
at all volatine."

il will take four or five weeks to repair
her. The Buffalo was also much dam
aged, by the loss Of her cut-water, bow.
spirit, and bulwarks, carried away. tits
said that one life was lost, and two men
badly injured on the Perry.
The Perry has since been towed into
Buffalo, and is now on the railway, re.
pairing.

LENAwEE BANK.--We would caution
our friends against the notes Of the Le-
nawee Bank. The institution may be
perfectly sound and solvent, for aught
we know, but in the matter of doubtful
paper, it is always best to err on the
safe side. There is much of this money
in circulation,a land there appears evidence
of an attempt, on the part of some, to
keep up the reputation of the bank, at
the expense of truth. We frequently
hear that the notes are taken at Toledo,
and have no doubt that this report has
aided their circulation. They are not
taken at Toledo, or if taken it is at a
monstrous shave, such as no man can af.
ford to pay, who labors for his money,
or even steals it, unless in very large
quantities.

Before we step ashore, let US take Q

are some miniature sketches done by

The FIRST STEAM VESSEL THAT EVER
.cnossED THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, is now in
port She is called the City Of Kings
ion'---is schooner rugged, spreads very
large squaresail from her fore yards
in every respect well found, and appa-
rently fitted for sea navigation. She Is
q handsome vessel. This vessel was
builtin London about ii months since
is 325 tons, British measure, and her
construction long and buoyant, not un-
like some Of our best steamers on the
Atlantic waters. Her wheels and arms
are constructed ofwrought iron, and her
buckets of oak plank, the whole being
light and neat. She has two low pres
sure engines, each so horse power, and
her machinery is fitted Of course below.
Her cylinders are each 40 inches in d.
ameter, With 4 feet inches stroke-has
two boilers, and consumes half ton of
good Liverpool coal every hour-can
cary SIS tons Of coal without inconven-
icnce. The City of Kingston, was IN
tended as mail packet between Jamai-
ca and Carthagenia and with that view
left London via Madeira. Her run from

The RHODE lsLAND.-A new steam
boat. bearing the above name, made her
appearance in our waters during the
last week. She is destined 10 run be-
tween Detroit and Cleveland, stopping
at the towns at the foot Of the Rapids,
each way. The Rhode Island is a very
neat boat, of about two hundred tons
burthen, and from the short trial which
has been made of her qualities, she has
proved an excellent sailer, and very sea-
worthy. She is principally owned by
E. Morse & Co., Of Detroit, and COM
manded by Capt. Joy.

NAVIGATION OF THE ATLANTIC BY
SrEAM.-There is but little doubt that
the practicability of navigating the At
lantic Ocean by steam, will be fully tes-
ted during the present summer. A
splendid line Of steam-packets are now
in preparation in England, which are to
be finished and sent out in the course of
the season.
The "Sirius," ship of70O tons bur-
then, was TO leave London on the 2sth
March, for New York, by the way Of
Cork, and is advertised in the N. York
papers to leave that city for London on
the lst inst.
The splendid ship "Great Western" "
was TO sail from Bristol for New York
about the middle Of April, and is adver.
tised to leave New York about the 18th
inst.
The dimensions Of the "Great Yves.
term" are as follows: length, 234 feet
beam, IS l-2 feet; depth, % l.2 feet
tonnage, l34O engines 45O horse pow.

The steam ship columbus" was, il
is stated by letters from England, to
leave Liverpool for New York early In
April. She will not bring out passen.
gers, as this is her experiment trip. She
has engines Of 100 horse power, and can
carry fuel for fifty days, Of coke, and
stone coal. She runs at the rate Of ! /
miles per hour.

The ERIE ABDUcTIoN.-The papers
are still harping upon the late runaway
affair at Erie, Pa. Mr.. Hanoi, the faith
er of the young lady has addressed a
note to the editor Of the Erie Observer,
denying the statements Of the affair made
in the Cleveland papers, which we pub
Iished, and characteristics them as false
and Infamous. That some Of the state
ments of the Cleveland papers are true,
we know, and knew before the runaway
took place.
Miss Hamot was engaged to Captain
Bristol.
She went with him on board the Mad
ison, of her own free will and accord,
and might have gone home instead, ifshe
had wished it.
When they were discovered at Ash
tabula, she refused to leave him, and il
was only by the use of force that they
were separated.
Her subsequent marriage can only
be accounted for by the fact, that her IA
thcr is as great domestic tyrant as cv-
er existed.

COMMON PLEAS FOR LUCAS CouNrY.

COMMON PLEAS FOR LUCAS County.
The court commenced its session on
Monday last, Judge Bowen presiding,
assisted by all the associates. The num-
ber of causes upon the calendar is about
three hundred and fifty, being in fact,
the business OF two terms, there having
been no term in October last. Judge
Bowen, the newly elected circuit Judge,
has so far given great satisfaction to the
Bar and 10 the public generally, by the
suavity Of his manners, and the general
correctness and promptitude with which
he discharges his judicial duties.
We shall take further notice Of the
doings Of the court, at the close Of the
term. which will probably occupy near
ly two weeks.
