CLAY to friend with whom he is on terms OF in

conternpla,es resigning MS seat in the Senate at an

10 Mr.. ELIH BURRiTT, the Learned Black
smith, is citizen of Worcester, Massachusetts,
where he has quietly pursued his trade for many
years He was first introduced to public notice
by Gov. Everett, in a Literary Address or Lecture,
wherein he mentioned, rs an encouragement TO
Young mez in the ordinary walks of life, that there
was in Worcester blacksmith, who never enjoyed
any but the msst ordinary education, and who sup
ported himself by daily labor at his anvil, whe had
yet made himself master Of fifty languages, with
nearly the whole circle of useful learning, and
still adding daily to his stores of knowledge. The
curiosity naturally excited by this information has
since invaded somewhat the retirement in which
ne had previously lived, and he has been induced
on few occasions 10 address public assemblages
Mr.. Burrtt is some forty-five to fifty years Old
in size and appearance resembles Hon. B. F. But
Ter, and dresses and speaks among US rather like
a Country clergyman. His hands, however, have
the dinis of the hammer upon them. His elocu-
ton is distinct and clear, but not impressive; and
his pronunciation is often faulty, evincing an ac-
quaintance with classical names from reading
merely. In his Lecture last evening, which eyinced
profound and just thought, there were many passa-
ses of striking force and eloquence. His Lecture
had been well considered and matured, and was
delivered without hesitation or embarrassment

THEODORE SEDewIcK, Esq. of this City, in Christ
Church Chapel, Pacic-street. Mr.. Sedgwick is a
man of ability, integrity and mental independence
