other troubles, have perhaps to endure the
reproaches Of wives 10 whom poverty, or
even humble life, would be insupportable.
If marrying for the sake of money be,
under any circumstances, despicable, if
not disgracetu'; il this be the case general
y, what ought to be said Of a young man,
who, in the hey-day of youth, should coup
lie himself to woman, old enough to be
his mother grandmother, and who should
pretend to 7ose her too; aud all this mere
~ for the sake Of her money? Why, it
ought and it doubtless would be said OF
him, that his conduct was a libel on both
man and. -fo..ankind, that lis name ough:
for ever 10 be synonymous with baseness;
and that in no age and n no nation, not
marked bya genera! depravity of manners,
and total absence CT all sense of shame,
such a man would be held in adherence.
Bonaparte could not be said to marry
for money, but for power, his motive was
little better, it was for dominion, for ambi-
ton, and that too Of the most contemplate
kind. knew an American gentleman,
with whom Bonap0rte had always been o
great favorite; but the moment the news
arrivedof his divorce and second marriage,
he gave him up. This piece of grand pro-
stitution was too much TO be defended
And the truth t, that Bonap&rte might
have dated his decline from the day Of that
marriage. Ny American friend said, " If
had been he, would in the first place
have married the poorest and pre:iiest girl
in all France" If he had done this, he
would in all probability, have now an inn
perial throne, instead of being eaten by
worms, at the bottom Of very deep hole
in st. Helena, whence, however, his ZONES
convey to me world the moral, that to mar
ry for money, for ambition, or from any
motive other than the one pointed out by
affection, is not the road to glory, to hap
piDess, or TO peace.

Extraordinary Discovery Of ar Ancient
Printing Press an I'1dja.-Wh hen Warren
Hastings was Governor General of India,
he observed that in the district Of Benares,
a little below the surface Of tie earth, is tc
be found stratum of kind Of fibrous
woody substance, of various thlcknesses,
in horizontal layers. Major Roebuck, in
formed Of tbs, vent cut 70 q spot whore an
excavation had been made, displaying this
singular phenomenon. In digging some
what deeper fer the purpose Of further re-
search, they laid open a vault, which OF
examination proved TO be Of some size,
and to their establishment they found kind
of printing press, set ap in the vault, and
on it movable types, placed as if ready
for printing. Every inquiry was set on
foot to ascertain the probable period at
which such an instrument had been placed
there, for it was evidently not Of modern
origin, and from all the Maj. could collect,
it appeared probable that the place Rad re-
NAMED in the state in which it was found
for at least one thousand years. We be-
lieve the worthy Maj. on his return to En-
gland, presented one of the learned asso-
cations with memoir containing many
curious speculatons on the subject. Paper
we know to have been manufactured in the
East many centuries before we had any
knowledge Of it: and we have many rea-
| sons to believe that the Chinese were &C.
quainted with the mode of printing they
now employ many centuries before Faust
invented it in Europe. |. certainly does
no credit to the inventive genius of the
Romans, to know thar they approached so
near as to eng'ave in style not to be e.
qualed in the present age, on gems and
stones, and of course the taking Of impress
sea from them, that they should still have
remained ignorant Of the art which has be-
sto yed so many blessings upon mankind.

Beautju! O5iect-A few days ago d
dapper craft, rugged most gracefully after
the fashion Of brig, with her top gallant
sails and royals all set, and manned by a
parcel Of youngsters, about 10 or IL years
old, and tidily dressed as sailors, was seen
off the town. Much curiosity was excited
to know who and what she was. She soon
came up with a smart breeze, and was seen
to great advantage as she passed the
whacvos. As che sailed along, ore Of her
Juvenile crew kept the lead going, and
called out in true sailor style. Presently
the shrill whistle Of the young boatswaln
was heard and she put about with all the
deli5eration and decision of man Of war.
A midshpman of about fourteen or fifteen
was the commander Of the craft; and this
circumstance, ADDED to the appearance Of
the vessel, plainly told tina, she belonged
TO the naval service. The sight was very
gratifying to all who enjoyed it, and the
skill of the crew called forth the praises of
several veterans of the sea. Upon enqui-
ry we learned that the first cutter Of the
Delaware had been fitted up as G brig, for
the purpose of drilling the naval apprenti-
ces in the practical details of seCmanship.
She is about 81 feet long her crew con-
sists Of 20 apprentices; her sails and yards
are exercised regularly. When under
way, she is made 10 perform all The evolu-
tons Of man-of-war; the boys are taught
to reef, furl, heave the lead, steer, &c

CoLoRED People IN LoNpoN.-Mr.John
T. Norton, an American, writes from Lon
don TO the Hartford (Conn.) Courier as
follows
"There are not many colored people ID
England, but | see one or more every day.
And where DO you think | see them? The
first | saw was a muatto woman walking
arm-in-arm with gentleman in Hyde
Park. The next was an African man,
entirely at home in an omnibus filed with
white gentlemen and ladies. The next
was an elegantly dressed and beautiful
young lady, sitting by the side Of black
lady, on terms Of perfect equality, in one
of the most splendid coaches in Hyde Park,
with livoried servants. Yesterday, whilst
riding in an omnibus in Regent street,
colored young woman beckoned TO the dri-
yer and he stopped and opened the door at
once. She did not get in, as she found it
was not going where she wished to 60.

LATE FROM AFRICA. Captain Potter,o
the GazelIe, which arrived at Salem on the
18th, from the River Gambia, states that
the trouble Mt Nunez, which has heretofore
been reported, has not yet ceased, and YES
cells arc not permitted to enter the river.
Il slight difficulty occurred at Gambia
between some Of the natives and the Eng
lish, which was not ended when Capt. T.
left. 1t seems that some Of the natives
from neighboring island came into the
settlement and got drunk; while in that
state some Of them insuted a British off,
Ger, and after some further difficulties a
file Of soldiers fred on the natives and one
of the princes was killed.
A circumstance occurred on the CONNIE
moration of the Queens birth day, which
is highly interesting for many reasons. 1t
seems that Henry b. Huntley, Esq. lately
arrived in the Colony from England gave
splendid dinner party on that day. In
the morning all the ships in the harbor dis
+ played their colors, and the British man-of-
war Rolla displayed the flags of all nations,
excepting the United States. AS soon as
this was perceived, tie American Captains
feeling that slight was offered to their
country, hauled down their colors. The
Commander of the Rola Immediately wal
led on them and made handsome apollo
gy, stating that he had but one ensign OF
the United States, and that was borrowed
by the Governor over the dinner table,
The next morning the Rolla displayed the
American ensign at the fore and the Brit
ish at the main, and fired a salute in honor
of the United States, which was immedi-
ately answered by one of the American
vessels, and all of them displayed the Brl-
fish ensiLl. The American vessels IN the
river at the time were the CazelIe and Ma
laga, of Salem; the Falconer, Of Boston,
and the Waverly, of Philadelphia.

IN PUBLIC FUNDS.
Our attention has been called to several pub
LEGATIONS which have appeared in the Harper's
Ferry Free Press. The first in order is letter
from Mr. VIM. Kirby to friend in Ohio, in
which he charges that the condition Of things at
Harper's Ferry and that neighborhood has not
been so bad for thirty years past; that the public
works are almost stepped; men have not been
paid for the last six months; that then they were
limited to half wages; that the rate of their la
Dor has been reduced, while all the public Off
GERS have had their wages raised; all kinds Of
business have been brought to stand; many of
the best worlmen have been discharged because
they gave their votes against the present admin
istraton, and spake against the corruptions which
have been practised upon them. OF these, he
gives one or two cases. 1t is, that the Paymas-
ter, having received a government draft on one
of the banks at New York, went to Baltimore
and sold it at premium for deprecated paper,and
made the nett profit 10 himself of 5000 or $500,
while the men that worked for the money had
to take shinpansters, and do the best they could
with them. On the other, hand they cut off from
make them do better work for less price, and
make them pay more for rent than when they
got full price for work The officers promised
to get the wages of the workmen raised, but in
stead of that, they got them taken down. To
these charges, MIR. Richard Parker, who is ne
phew of Mr.. Thomas Richie, and one Of Mr..
Van Buren's pets, makes the following response:
HARPER's FERRY, June 80, 1S40
Mr. HAYMAN-I request you to republish the

baugh & Kirby, of this place,) contained in the

epithets; but they alone can properly character
ize the baseness and infamous conduct of w.
