There were many shskings Of the head,
when 1t was told through the village that
the widow Egerton was dead. Many had
said that she was dying of neglect, and
many more would not like to charge their

hoped he will not lend h's AID to pluck s'ng.s

Of science rs in matters Of that nature. Con-
gress cannot rcccde-for the resolution has been
heralded abroad almost from pole 10 pole, and for
which all praise has been bestowed upon that
honorable body.
The rcnown which that act has thrown in-
to the scale Of American science, should not
be cast away at this time, let who will KICK the
beam.
Whether cxpec tations I" new discoveries
are or arc no, fulfilled, there are still great and
important objects to be attained.

are but little known, and arc imperfectly descrh-

the use of man, or holding forth inducements for
commercial enterprise, and the facilities for OBJ

out.
The security of orr commerce, and the dgni-
tv Of our nation, will be established among those
who but hear Of us by report Of others. Our
tolls nd the muni6ccnce OF the Gov crnment, are
both repaid in these few of the ends to which
success must lead.
The selection of the vessels for this service, is
a matter much discussed, and upon which diver

other.
Hoping that success will attend this undertaking,
let it fall into what hands it may, shall hold my

my brother officers, to its support: and have the
hope still, that the officers who have borne
the labor may reap the fruits. Yours respect
