Beqxests for Charitable PHrpo'es.
IT, ph;InJslnhia BulIetin speaks of the Vii

The Pbiladelphia Bulletin speaks OF the Viz
| rinia laws upon this subject, and the deci'
| sions under them, in terms Of strong approba-
ZION. Our courts, we believe, have been stricter
in this respect than any other, and, with the
Bulletin, we think very properly. The evils
that. in the course of time, may arise from an
unlimited indulgence TO testators in this parti-
cular, are palpable, manifold, and nave left
| their traces upon the history Of almost every
country in Europe. At the commencement of
the French revolution, one-,hird of the entire
landed property of the nation was held by the
clergy. another third by the nobility, and as
these two classes Were exempt from taxation
the government was supported by money COM
ing from the wretched peasantry, who were
the proprietors Of the other third. Is it won
delful that humanity could endure the burthen
no longer, or rather, is ii not wonderful that II
could submit o longl Ali the land in the pos
session of the clergy was held nominally, for
charitable uses really for the benefit of the
incumbepts, precious little of the proceeds
having ever been bestowed on objects OF CHAIR
~.
A, the time Of the reformation in England,
an immense proportion Of the property OF the
country was held by the Monasteries. to which
institutions it had been bequeathed for "pious
PURPOSES" that is for purposes of charity
Henry VIII bestowed the lands of the sup
pressed Monasteries on his mobiles, and they
form, TO this day, great proportion Of the
wealth of the British arstoctacy. They have
thus been entirely diverted from their original
intention, for the present owners, and those
who have gone before them, think precious
little about the wants of the poor.
The Bulletin adverts to the fact, that mil
lions of pounds are at interest in England, the
proceeds Of property devised for charitable
purposes, which ought to be thus applied, or to
revert to the heirs Of the testator, but which
are retained by the trustees of the different
charities, for their own use. There was no
occasion to cross the ocean for examples. We
have them in thi. country, as thick as black
berries. Who ever heard of charity fund
that was administered according 10 the design
of the testator7
In all cases we should think it were far bet
ter for the good Of his own soul, as we'll as for
that of society, that testator should leave his
property TO his ow kindred, if they be worthy,
or if thew be not, TO some hoEest fellow who
will make a good use of it. Heaven cannot
be bribed by a death-bed devise, nor, let the
object be as meritorous as it may, can knav-
ish set of trustees be prevented from wasting
or appropriating the funds.

MAx1vc BRrcKs.-The builders of mouse,

MAKING BRIcKs.--The builders of houses
during the present year Of rapid improvement
in our city, have experienced some difficulty in
obtaining ready supply Of brick. This was
perhaps to some extent in consequence of the
rainy summer but it must be a matter of re-
gret to all friends Of the prosperity Of the city,
that any cause should exist TO retard its growth.
II an account of a recent discovery of a new
method of manufacturing bricks, by Messrs.
Mower & Woodwork, Of Boston, be correct,
we have arrived at a point of time when com.
plants will no longer be heard in reference to
a scarcity of those indispensable agents in bull
ding. Messrs. NJ. & w. have invented ma
chine, differing from any other now in use
which turns out ready for the kiln upwards OF
$500 bricks in an hour. The bricks are moul-
ded out OF dry clay, the tedious and laborious
process of sohening the clay with water, in the
ordinary way, being altogether dispensed with.
The dry clay, upon entering the machine, first
encounters some large iron rollers, revolving
very rapidly, and when thus reduced to pow.
der, passes through sieves, and subsequently
to the moulds, On which hammer or ram de-
chanical force which is brought to bear upon
each brick is estimated at one hundred TONS
The whole weight of,he machine, including the
pulyerzer and screens, is said to exceed 90 tons.
The machines are constructed by Lyman kins-
ley, at Canton, in Massachusetts, and cost So
200. The bricks made by these machines are
supposed to be better than those made in the
ordinary way, and the best quality face bricks
can be made cheaper than the rough inside
brick upon the old method. When burnt they
are found to have shrunk less than those made
in the ordinary way, !probably on account of
their greater density and for the same reason
they retain their smoothness of surface and ac
curacy Of form. On breaking one, its compact
ness and soundness is Immediately obvious
AS they thus can absorb but little moisture,
they are capable Of standing the frost of the Sc
verest climate without injury. An experiment
in a crushing machine certified by Samuel
Strong, the general superintendent of the Uni
ted States Capitol at " ashington, showed the
strength Of the bricks to be sixteen thousand
six hundred pounds to the square inch. At the
same time twas found, that, by the absorption
Of one of the bricks and the atmospheric vapo
ration together during fourteen hours there
was consumed less than half gill out Of
gallon of water.
This is matter worthy the notice of some
of our enterprising brick manufacturers, who
we hope will give it due attention.
