AZ The Liverpool Albion of the 9th Au-
gust contains communication highly COM
plimcntary to Professor Espy and commenda-
tory of his theory ofstorms. The writer says
that ''if the captains of the I.ockwoods, the
Pennsylvania, and tho Oxford, had known
what we now know through Mr.. Espy, their
valuable lives. aud the lives Of their crews
and passengers, and a million of property
would have been saved" He thereupon
gives the following TO captains of yes
sells: ''ln the mean time let all captains be-
ware. Never leave the port of Liverpool in
strong southeast wind for, in twelve
hours there will be hurricane from the oppo-
site quarter, the northwest or West.''

The subscriber, having had his Patent
Self-sharpening Horizontal Plough thorough
tested, as well in regard to its strength and
durability, as the excollency Of its performs
ance, begs leave to offer the suboined certi-
hcates OF some Of the most influential farmers
oil their respective counties. For the farther
satisfaction of the public, more would be
given, but these he thinks will suffice, as all
ne asks is generous confidence, so far only,
as to try the plough; for he warrants it in
every case to perform as well on level land,
when made smooth, as any plough in use.-
This, 1t may be thought, is saying too much,
and would be expecting too much: vet it
will be seen that he is fully warranted in the
statement by the certificates of gentlemen
whose practical judgment and disnterested
candour-not upon n partial trial, but a tho
rough test, OF years, can hardly be questioned:
now all that he asks, is try, and Judge for
yourselves.
This plough with all its advantages, right
and left, self-sharpener, (the only perfect
one In use, which is particularly important
with the cast share,) with either a wrought or
cast share, is as little complicated as the COM
mon plough; and sells for exactly the same
price, $40 with wrought share, $3.50 with
cast share, $lO,75, with both, which is re-
commended.
Persons desiring to get these ploughs on
The aforesaid terms, may address the snbscri-
Der at Cotopaxi Furnace, Steel's Tavern, Au-
gusta, Va. where they will be manufactured,
and had for sale.
