The friends of this important work have great cause for being of g od cheer. F.y 13-3 advice from Washington, wu learn that there is every prospect that Congress w !!, ,it Us prfsoil stssion, tnak n ap iriatiou of lands such as has been a ishpro ,i -i : ,..,pnni ii mir river.

other hand, a grant of lands to the Wabash may be set down as an event certainly to1 take place, cither at the present session or j at some period not far distant. The worst

we lave to fear is that the efforts ot he iC:i advocates wi.l cause a postpone- : ! . mcut of our claim bift. whether this will hs tlie case rests, after all, with ourselves, ' for. if we d i but exert uurselvcs in getting a full expression of the feelings of the citizens of our own Slate and of Illinois, who are directly hrercsie l in the improvement of the river, there cannot be a reasonable dvubt but that Congress will, at once, pass a bill making the appropriation aked for. We therefore say to the friends of the river, hi up and doing. Let our memorials circulate, and let no tlfort be spared to have them numerously signed and sent to Congress. If a little exertion is usd, thousands of names can yet readily be obtained, and the ini'iienee they would have should induce the friends of the measure, from one end of the Wabash to the other, to be active in the matter an 1 sutler no remls uiess to cause a further postponement of our long neglected rights. if am We see by a circular recently received, that cur estimable friend Jacob Munis !:;. commenced a scientific ant! classical school in Abingdon Square, New York. Mr. Funis is a profound scholar and a perfect gentleman, and we are truly sorry that he ever left ihi.s place. Uu his leaving Yincennes we lost a man w hoso place will be hard to till. Parties have gone out of fashion at Louisville, and every thing in that line of business is canied on as if by accident. A few whispers, ant the hapjii'in goes on most gloriously. It is made a matter f apparent wonder how so many could so pleasantly stumble togeth- r. gd?" Our thanks are dee to Rob-.-rt Dale Owen and Joseph A. Wright of Indiana: and Robert Smith of Illinois for various public documents. e O 9 JCj1 Next week we design gi ing to the public the .Speech of Robert Hale Owen ef this State, delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, Jan. and '-2 1, 1S1 1, on the question of the joint occupancy by Oreat Uritaiu with the Fnited States, of the Territory of Oregon. Mr. Owen s views m relation to the matter are clear, truumpn' ativc ana just to the point. Si.avi; rr.en:uTV in Illinois.

wmus or k:ox: We, the undersigned, the Knox count)' Whig Central Committee, impressed with the importance of a favorable result in our

August elections, both in reference to our County and State affairs, and its bearing upon me nexi i resiueuiim eieunini, .uhj .i i i . . . t i . . . - . . .. . i believing that such a result can be en sured only by unity in the party, hereby in pursuance ot the authority invest i: us at our institution, cad upon tlie citizen; i ot Knox to assemoie m Convention, a. Vincennes, ou the FOUR Til MONDAY in March next, to a lopt such measures a may be deemed, expedient for the furthc! organization of tiie county, an 1 to make an necessary preparations tor the ensuing fall elections. Tins Convention is considered indispensable for the purpose ol deciding upon ihe claims of the numerous candidates for office, and by making judicious nominations to concentrate the Whig vote, and save the part- from division anu consequent defeat. The plan for a Convention which meets with the most general aprobation is, that each township shall hold a meeting on the Saturday previous to the County Convention, to express 3 preference between the candidates, anc then to assemble on the above day in Mas; Convention, each individual present to be considered a delegate from his township. In voting for the nominees each township will vote separately and according to its relative poll. It is thought that this plan will secure to the various candidates a fair presentation of their claims before the Convention and prevent any advantage being taken hv intrigue and management We think tho necessity for a Conven lion must be apparent to every sensible man, and wo hope that the plan above submitted will be approved of. Wo therefore earnestly cadi upon every man who has the irood of the party at heart, to use iiis inlluonce in getting up township meetings, and to induce sucii a general attend ance on tiie Convention as to nve its decisions weight and digriity. e have the strength to beat our opponent if we are but united. AH we want is harmony and an un lcrstandin j between ourselves, an i we In;?; every hi in tlie county will be found ready to lend his best rlfjrls in a i i i i i nan cai'uiitc i to secure units , concoru and success to his 1 ).

It wa but yesterday, say s one, that I was young, sporting in the gayety of youthful enjoyment, racing in boyish giee o'er the shady meads, and like the lambkin I gamboled in the innocence of simple nature. 'Twos but esterday I climbed the towering rock, that frowns on the thunder's roar, am' laughed at the glittering blaze of the lightning's flash, as it coursed in frightful grandeur through the troubled firmament.

How well 1 remember ie pas times thai, charmed our infant passions, an 1 threw our souls into convulsive pleasure. They are all gone the scene is changed, and so are we. The path that heard the merry carol, Hoverg'own with many a briar, and none that played along its bof.t-Mt surface, could now point out Us windiu" course.

Does time really fly so fast ' Is there not time scifnuent to encompass our plans? Di) none desire that h"r swift career might be impeded if not arrested . Ask that stripling whose thoughts are on tho moving things of the world whose mind is intent ou actions far beyond his feeble grasp whose heart drinks in with avidity the pleasing hope of speeding on the vital concerns of the great political leviathan. Ask him if time dies on so swiftly ! Ah no ! how 1 wish I was free from legal restriction, and ready to give a helping hand to matters of state to give my suffrage to claim those privileges granted to emancipated man. Although our thoughts are prone to run counter to the general design of Nature, and grieve at the swiftness with which the measure of duration flies on, yet in the same breath we are wishing to accelerate its celerity. The rrrfat noiinlor ullO drinks deeplv of the mixed purposes of government, would joyfully cede a month a year, ah years of his busy life to accomplish fits mighty schemes, though that wish (were it granted) might bring him to the dark vergo of eternity.

naught is heard save the infamous blas phemy of malignant spirits. The Lover, debarred by distance tiie j y of an interview, hastes with the wings of lightning to meet her, who bears Heaven's fairest impress on her maiden brow whose heart is as pure as ihe faint blush, that precedes the golden dawn of Aurora.

An interesting specimen which nriy be kllulVU t,i verv few and which is, for its kind, uusurpas.-ed in the annals of literature, is the cre.il historical woik which has recently been completed by the late Mr. Widen, the admirable translator of lasso, and other popular works, which comprises the ramilv Kecords of every eh seendent of tlie nncier.t and distinguished llouse of Itusstll, compiled from authentic sources, chicily in tho possession of the family. This very beautiful, production which includes the Portraits of every member of that Peerage, direct and cj'.la'erai, painted by one of the most prominent artists of the age, fllardin.) is comprised in one Olio volume, printed in a style of sumptuous magnficenee only v ie single copy if which lea-' print td off The uui.pjo bequest by the bee Duke of lied for J, under whose personal supe: intendence it was commenced and completed, was designed by him as an heirloom in the family, and to be deposited in the Library at Woburri Abbey, from whence on no a count to be removed. It cost the Duke three thousand guineas. The mos-t co.-tly under taking ever attempted by a tingle individual, cf a literary character, which unquestionably- the vvoild has yet seen, is the'mazmficent woi k'on the aborigines of .Mexico, .... . i by the late. Lord Kingsborough. 1 ms stupenouous work is said to hive been produced at the enormous cost to the author of J-JO.OOu, or 150.000. It is comprised of seven immense folio volumes, embellished by about one thousand superb illustrations, colored so sxquisitely as to represent the oiiginals with the most faithful exactness. These volumes are of such extraordinary dimensions as to be almost impoi table. This unprecedented instance of munificence in the patronage of literature, is rende-c.l more astonishing from the lamentable fact of its having proved the ultimatu ruin of its projector. Not only did this enthusiastic nobleman undertake to defray the entire expense attending tho publication, in every item cf which, as ii uiijjtu have been expected

he had to meet the most exorbitant charges, but

he actually determined cn having a very limited number of copies printed, we believe only fifty, aft.r which the lithographic drawin-s weio erasedThese copies were appropriated for -ra!ut!(nis presentation to the several Royal and Public Libraries of Europe. It is painful to add that this noble patron of literature and the arts, actually Jied in debt, a lew years since, a sad instance of self-immolation to his munificence, in a piison in Dublin. A copy of this gorgeous woik is in the Philadelphia Library. Humboldt's Mexico is another splendid work, the same may be said of .Merrick's Ancient Armour, Mayeos Egypt, and many others: indeed to cite all under category would require a space far exceeding that allotted us for the present pari'r' We have said scaicely any th in -j about binding as yet, nnd we fear our restricted limits will iv.eessarilv foibid much allusion to that department which has, in former times, as in our own, always constituted an important feature in book making. There have been m iny names among the bibliooegistic bortherhood justly celebrated,- those, bowever, we ciiimot stay to notice. A ratre for illustrating formerly obtained to a greater extent. It is noted by Granger, a grent collector, that a certain female of his acju aintanec commenced illustrating the Bible, and that before she had reached the lioth verse of the tirt Genesis, the number of her prints had reached seven hundred! Perhaps the most illustrious .,f all illustrate works, is the extraordinaiy copy of 8hakspeare in possession of Earl Npencer a woik which owes its existence to the wonderful perseverance end taste of the Dowager Lady Lu-L-an,his mother-in-law. Tor sixteen years, this herculean and pleasurable task was in progress. It is unnecessary to attempt a description of this costlv work, as it contains whatever of taste, beauty and refinement in decoration it was possible to combine in the embellishment ot Buhner's beautiful folio edition of the great poet. This -uperb work is enclosed in rich vtdvet binding, surmounted with silver gilt clasps, corners, Ve. It is kept,' to cdopt tiie entliu-iastic lancuage of Dibdin, who has enjoyed the advantage of personally inspecting it, 'inviolate from the impurities of bibhoniiiiiacal miasmata, in a sarcophagus shaped piece of furniture of cedar and mahogany. The largest work ever yet attempted, is the IJiicclojitdic Mi.l!od.'-;ue,'' commenced at Paris in 1 72, beinj a collection of eictioiiaries on the several departments of science and knowledge which has already extended to upwards of p.iarto volumes.

Some person has made an excellent application for the diecovcry which was made years since, of the value of lime in preserving articles liable to damage from moisture. One of its lir-t applications was in pre- : rv ii.tr plants sent from distant parts of tho world, by scientific explorers, to France and England.

It will resist the action of atmospheric heat, damp, frost, etc., and is susceptible of a high polish, and can be manufactured at a cost little exceeding ordinary limo mortar. Prett v Good. The editor of the Yicksburgh Sentinel, corresponding with his journal from Jackson, relates a rumor afloat ther of an extraordinary occunence transpiring at that place recently. It seems a young amateur practitioner in Mesmerism succeeded in putting an African servant into slumber, and in the same moment was seized w ith a fever and chills, which were communicated at once to the Mesmerized subject, and they ere both lying now in a pitiable state. The magnetizer is too sick to wake up his subject. and there they lie shivering in company. a o goii' Di:c:di:d at last. Mr. Luther Cary, of Bangor. Maine, was thrown into the Mesmeric state, and in that unconscious position his leg was amputated safely, without pain and inconvenience. While the doctors were dressing the knee, the organs of mirthfulness and June were excited, and the patient amused the company with jolly laughter, and by singing several tunes with great glee. What a providential discovery this mesmerism turns out to Le ! -Y. V. Sun.

Fashions of the Day.

Extract of a letter received by the last steamer from England, written hf one who is a close observer of th? Wio as of the day. After the battle of Waterloo, it was quite n common thing for many of tho -sprigs' and 'bloods' of London to tie up an arm or a leg, and turn out for an airinr in the Tark. as a wounded oliieer from that battle field; but w ho during that light, had not been out of hearing of Bow-bells.' The thing took for a time, and many a fair lady -oh'ed' and -ah M' in sympathy and admiration, as one of these unhuit but bandaged tricksters went limping by. 'There foes a poor fellow who bled at Waterloo,' Where' eays another; 'do let me "et a sight at him.' And men, too, raised th-eiHiats and bowed in thankful recognition to the unknown but wounded herof Waterloo. It was not an uncommon tiling, too, for many families to close their doors and windows and hang out habiliments of woe, in imitation of those who really had lost their husband, father or brother at that great fight. To be in the fashion is a great thing" in England, and whether it was this propensity, or something kin to it, may bo 'remarked that w hen the beloved, Princess Charlotte met her sad end there never was known before or sineo so many mishaps 'in the family icaf as on that occasion in England. One thousand single vomrn and thtrn thousand mariicd (according tor report) had all miscarried. The nresent Q-ieen, Ciod loess iter, I am happy to say. is most fortunate in se;ti n rr a more bgvech'o j'n shini; and while she'safely present? toh.-r people a prince or a princess annually, they, in turn. a::d as safely, furni-h her new su'pecu by thousands. As before said, not b be in thr fhi n hero, is to be almost nothing, of h it has become the fu-fiion to ha ve Ir.rre sums of money in 'American State Ilunds;' and thousands that never owned one, announces, or hints tint the down fall, and t'.ie sale ol their carriers anu oato. is w I101 lly arising from the dot tion of States.' !r Sonkins have you heard poor Mrs. Snooks ha- gone to country lodgings and quit town?'

This letter she gave to a neighbor, lo deliver the next day; but suspecting difficulty, he carried it immediately. Her sister and falhei hastened to the house and found her in great agitation of mind. She soon after sat down by their side and gave to each of her two youngest children, one about a year and a half and the other three years old, a half once of laudanum; replying to their inquiries, that it was medicine left them by the physician. Soon tifter she left the room and was drinking the laudanum she had prepared for herself when her sister discovered her. Dr. A. Garcelon of Lewistown was immediattly sent for. but more than an hour elapred before his arrival. Fortunately the excitement, which preceds stupor had not passed off. She declared her determination to take nothing; said it was the result of long deliberation; and pointed to sores on her head and neck, said they were caused by kicks and blows from her husband, when she remonstrated with him for his gross violation of decency, with au abandoned woman, whom he had kept in his house for some months. As sho was deaf to entreaties, Dr. G.t by force poured down a powerful emetic, and in one minute she threw up neitlv the w hole contents of the stomach. By the continued skill and exertion of tho physician, she and the children were kept rocseel &all finally recovered. The family separated for a tinvj, but have again united.
