WATT, THE INVENTOR OF THE

ing to sell spectacles in London, petit

open little shop without paying the
fees OF freedom, and he is refused -
lie goes TO Glasgow, and the corpora
tion refuse him there. He makes the
acquaintance Of some members Of the
university, who find him very intelli-
gent, and who permit him TO open his
shop within their walls. He does not
sell spectacles and magic lanterns
enough TO occupy his time, and he oe-
cupies himself 1T intervals in taking
asunder and remaking all the machines
he can come at. He finds there are
books on machines written in foreign
languages. He borrows dictionary,
and learns those languages TO read
those books. The university people
wonder at him, and they are fond Of
dropping into his little room of even
ings, to tell him what they are doing,
and to look at the queer instruments
he constructs. A machine in the uni
versity collection wants repairing, and
he is employed. He makes it new
machine. The steam engine is CON
strucied, and the giant mind of James

lice, by few we'll directed blows, soon bat.
tered the door down and closely pursued the
ileeing proprietor up to his place Of security
FINDING that he had been quick enough to

their way in. and took him into custody.-
On going back to the house which was Inst
visited, there were found several Of our citi-
Sens and some few soldiers; but there being

tacle:
This morning beautiful phenomenon, and one
of rare occurrence, was 10 be seen ON the bay,
which presented the appearance OF q boundiess
ocean, with the waves dancing and sparkling In
the sunshine as far as the eye could reach. Not q
cloud was TO be seen above this vast extent OF wa

6ned border the line of which was accurately de-
yeloped, alone bounded the distant view; and 90

ihins elss than the sea itself had, by unac-
couniable means, sciuaiiy risen shove ITS natural
