We have received, through the Post Office, prota-

Of a very remarkable work on Phrenology, in which
we find table developing the charactenand propen-
stiles animal and intellectual, Of some Of the "dis-
tinguished individuals Of the present day, among
whose names we find DIR. Mlledoler, Gibbs the Pr
rate Col Webb, Johnson the murderer ". p. Willis,
Tardy the pirate, W. G. Bryant, walmsley the pi-
rate Dr. Bercher, jackson the murderer, Capt. Mar
ryat,, and Others with all their peculiar charasser
tics compared and analysed. In some qualities we
find that Col Webb and Gibbs the pirate touch the
some points Of the scale--in other degrees they
differ.
This week we shall pablish this curious document,
with an elaborate commentary, developing the cha
raster Of these distinguished individuals, they
are all called in Mr.. Fowlers brochure, and endea-

passed the bourne whence no traveller returns

ALL FOR SPEED, AND TIVE DEVIL TAKE TIE

steamboats, in that quarter. The result is that four

Albany repairing; the Erie has collapsed aae, and
the Dewitt Clinton has broken her shaft: yet the
public will not be warned by these premenitory
symptoms, by any thing short of NEST fearful

Of life. The mail, few days since brought intelli-
