SUMMARY.

Berlin, June 17.

De&'h of thz Vukc of iSaxe Weimar. —Oo the i5Ui, i» the evening, we received here the melancholy intelli jrence of the death of his royal highness the Grnnd Duke of Saxe H'»iznar, near 'i organ, on his leturn to his own dominions. His royal hiphjnesis was in good health, reviewing the royal stud, and speaking of his journey the following day, w'» en he yvas s,udJenly seized with an apoplectic lit, winch carried him off on the spot.—Hamburg paper* June 30.

This amiable &. enlightened prince, mur readers will remember, made a tour ol the United Slates two or Ihree years ago. Alter his return home, he prepared and published an account of his travels, of which the tallowing brief descriction is copied irocr. a northern paper:

It is an imperial octavo volume, of abodt TOO pages, embellished with a portrait of tlifi author, with correct 'fsetfsol' the Capitol-of Washington, of the Schuylkill Water Works near Philadelphia, the Safety Barges on the North Kivcr, &c and several maps, including those of the cities of 'New-fork, Philadelphia and Pittsburg The work will probably be soon translated and published in this country. In the list of subscribers, we notice all the monarch* of Europe.

Caution —A young man in Bu-ks county. Pa. lately retiring from a field with bis sithe, in a thunderstorm was struck by lightning and instantly killed His father and another per son were near him, but escaped unhurt. Let this operate as a caution to others who are out in thunder storms, to beware of keeping con ductors of lightning with them.

Small Farms —'It is not the abundance of land, but the thorough ai skiltul cultivation of it, that fills the farmers barn with plenty For one to crave a larger farm iban he can culti vate to profit is therefore an ecpen sive folly for whatever a-reg'ecterl field is worth, the interest of tie capital, together with the taxes, wiH at length eat the field.

Steam Bout Improvements.—The following description ot improvement made in the machinery for propelling vessel s, sh6ws to what an astonishing slate of perfection this department of the mechanic arts has been brought. It is taken from the New-Orleans Argus ami is particularly giaiiiyiug, inasmuch as the inventor, Mr.Lainheart, was formerly of this city, i'he Legislature of Louisiana passed a law, authorising Mr. to raise a sum of uiwney by lottery, tor *he purpose of fully testing 'tis improvement*, reserving to the *«.ate. the tiirhv of muking use of engines on the principle

it consists ot a generator placed over a grate, which receives fou» ounces of hot water from the boiler at each revolution of the paddle:* ihis water i» immediately converted itito steam, passes into the cylinder, I rom thence into the condenser, and from thence again into the boiler. As the generator contains at most, but six gallons of steam to an ounce, and as it has a safety valve, and is three or four inches thick, it ls-al most impossible that it should burst, and in case it should, no damage would result from it, on account ot the small quantity of steam it con tains, and as to the water in the boiler, it is only to 212 degrees of Farenheit, or 80 of Reaumer, which is that of boiling, besides it hasalao a safety valve.

The ecofiomy of this machine is very great it can propel aboat of 25 ions, 12 hours with lour bushels of charcoal. As to its speed it is astonishing the wheels which act di

The following extract shows the estimation in which Col. Blake is held by the leading members ol the opposition, who have witnessed his conduct while at Washington. 1 he truth is sufficient for a good cause, and a Bad one ought not to be supported. The Congressional election in this District, did not turn exclusively upon the Presidential question—yet, it cannot be denied that it drew ofi'from Col. Blake, many ol his old friends, but this would not have defeated him had not baser means been resorted to. He could not have beeu beaten by honorable o^aus—and with all tne roeana that fere used, he would have been elect ed by a respectable majority, bad the election been ten days later—so that falsehood could have been exposed or had the excitement produced by nflUmatorv publications had time to become tempered with reason. Those who have produced this result, are welcome to all the happiness it affords them, and I sincerely hope that thev will not have cause to regret their choice, 'lhc elections, ii is believed, hirmsh no evidence ol the strength of parties in this state. In the third district, the majority for Judge Test, is a clear expression of public sentiment.—-In the second district it is difficult to say-, what evi dcnce of party strength i« afforded by the Congressional election.

I'hii votes for lieutenant governor turni-h us no better criterion.

That, as yet, is involved in some degree of ambigu.tv thoug' we have no doubt, should ii prove the fact, that his election will hailed by Mr. Gales, as a harbioge ol victory to the Adams party ipWe aver the contrary, however yet such ,s oi:r opinion ot Col.
