Having purchascd OF Mr.. Lysander ID Childs,
one of Fitzpstiiek's Patent Smut Machines or Rub.
bers for cleaning wheat Of dirt, cheat, smut, and
other impurities, We have had il set up in our mill.
in a situation to receive the wheat after passing
through nearly all the rubbers, screens and fans,
heretofore employed TO prepare il for the operation
ofbeing converted into -four. Its effects upon the
wheat, after so much cleaning, surprised US, and
we doubt not, that to mills not so well supplied
with machinery, it would be invaluable. Had we
known of these machines when we were rebuilding
our mills, we would have adopted them in prefer
ence to our present stone rubbers, and dispensed
with a considerable portion of our screens and fans
The machines are simple in their construction, TO
all appearance durable and not liable to get out of
repair. While performing, at the sam operation,
the work of rubbing and tanning the wheat, one OF
the largest size requires TO drive it the power ufnot
more than two or three OF our fans.

The undersigned, Inspector Of Flour, for the town
OF Alexandria, and for many years practical nille,s,
take pleasure in stating, that they have seen in ope-
ration, and examined with some attention, "Fitz-
patrick's Patent Smut Machine" and have no hesi-
tation in pronounoing it, in their opinions, superior
to any machine heretofore in use for rubbing and
cleaning wheat, and eifectually freeing it OF smut
and dust, white caps, and other matter that has a
tendency TO darken and iniure the quality of -four.
They have also particularly noticed It's effect on the
-four brought TO this matket-that from the mills
where il is used being much whittier and clearer of
specks, than that from other mills, or from the same
mills before the introduction of this valuable i'm
provement. Its simple, compact, and durable con-
s%truction, combined with the little power required
to keep it inoperation, are additional recommended
tons to its general adoption. Believing it would
be a great acquisition to every milling establish
ment where -four is manufactured, they earnestly
il TO the attention Of millers generally.

BANKS IN BosToN.-The following para
graph we copy from the Daily Advertiser of
Friday, being the concluding passage OF an
article on the late suspel sion of the Bank
of the United States. The intelligence
created great excitement and CONSERVATION
in Boston, but the feeling was general that
their banks would not follow the example,:
"The New York papers announce with
confidence that the banks Of that city will
not follow this example-that they are am:
ply prepared to resist it, and that in fact
they will be relieved, rather than burdened,
by the failure of the Philadelphia Banks, and
particularly by that of the U. S. Bank, winch
by means other Post Notes has been draw
ing from them their resources. We trust
that such will be the resolutions of the
banks, not only of New York, but of this
city, and of all New Eng gland, and that it
will be manfuly adhered to.--Sound polcy,
justice and duty to the public demand such
course. 1t is TO behoped that the ruinous
expedient of suspension of specie pay
ments will not again be tried. 1t cannot in
fact be tried but by the.general consent o
the public, and the public, there is reason to
believe, will not again tolerate it. All that
is necessary to remove the apprehension oil
such caamity is, that due confidence
should be placed in the disci elton, lirmness
and sense of duty, ofthose to whom the ad'
ministration of our Banks is entrusted"

of part of the places of public amusement
in one evening: The Park Theatre $1,000.

was an ordinary evenings business: no ex.

The breaking up of the Opium trade by
the Chinese government, is one cause for
the great demand for specie. 1t is stated
that the trade in that article by all the fof-
eigners at Canton amounted to $5o,00o,0oo
yearly. If The imports from China, con-
tinue as great as they have been, and we see
no reason why they should not be, specie
will have to take the place of opium in the
payment for commodities we receive from
them,
This will create demand for specie far
greater than the ability to supply: and con-
eequently there will be gradual drain up
on the amount in circulation.

The Dale is to carry sixteen guns, and was

with a bottle of wine imported by his fa-

sword ON the occasion, the history of which
we are informed, is not a little remarkable.
This sword which is a splendid weapon,
having a hilt Of pure gold and beautifully
adorned with embematical devices, was
given by Louis XVIth of France to Paul
Jones, as a token Of esteem and admiration
for his conduct in the desperate fight be-
tween the Bon Homme Richard and the
Serapis in 1881, a conflict unsurpassed in
the annals of navy warfare. This honor
was the more fattering, as the French
monarch has never bestowed q sword upon
any other officer. Commodore Dale was

SusPENs ON OF SPECIE PAYMENTs.-By
the rai road cars last night, from Phiadel-
phia, authentic information was received in
this city. of the suspension of specie pay.
ments, yesterday, of the banks of Phildel,
phia. This decided movement IN the CON-
mercial metropolis of Pennsylvania, our
nearest neighbor city to the East, seemed
to loave no alternative to the banks in Bal
timore, but imposed necessity on Their
part--f they would be true to the interests
of the community in which they are located
to adopt a similar course of action.-A
meeting Of the officers and directors Of the
several banks in Baltimore was accordingly
held this morning, at eight o'clock, wher
on the annunciation Of the foregoing fact, 9
resolution to suspend specie payments in
Baltimore, was offered and UNANIMOUSLY
adopted.
The measure thus adopted, was made
known at the opening of the banks this
morning, and, so far as we hear, fully ac
quiesced in by the community, as one die
tated by prudence, not less than the -neces-
sity of the case, and by a just regard TO the
interests of our citizens.-Bahimore Pal

In regard to smoking meat, our common
mode is bad one. We half cook it, as
well As smoke it. The Dutch, and no peo
pie have better smoked meats, make their
smoke in the garret. We do not want
heat, but merely smoke, or the pyrolignlc
acid which tho smoke contains, to dry and
cure our meats. The desideratum, there
fore, should be, to obtain the smoke without
the heat, and this can only be well effec,
ted by employing separate apartments for
the fire and the meat, and by conducting the
smoke to the latter by artificial meuns.
