It -is highly gratifying to me to. place in your hands this Rust tribute ofa grateful people, well, assured fthat, should circumstances require it, you f will again be found ready to display the same ! courage and constancy in the cause of your country as distinguished your conduct jn, the gallent .defence at Sandusky. Mr. PRESIDENT—Nearly twenty-fifur years have elapsed since the occurrence of the e- vent which this medal is intended to com- memorate; during that interval, most of the gallant individuals whom I had the honor to command at Sandusky have quitted the stage of life. For the sake of those who are no more, I might have wished that this testimo nial had been grafted at an. earlier period, that they might have enjoyed the same hon- est pleasure which I now feel. As respects \nyself however, I cannot but value the dis- inction the more highly, as it has been be- stowed, not under the influence of momenta- ry excitement, bat after time had been al- lowed to estimate the' character, as well as he importance, of the service rendered. In iddition to my acknowledgment of the honor conferred on me by the resolution of Con- jress, I have only-to express,to you, sir, my (bligation for the kind and flattering man- ler in which you have carried that resolution |nto effect. thought to add to the wearer's beauty. The upper part of her head was covered with a small leather cap, fitted closely but quite un- ornamented, and I should have had tbe pleas- ure of gratifying her with a string of beads to render this part of her dress more smart, if I had nat been fearful, .that by doing this I should excite in her countrymen an incli- nation to beg and importune for what I meant to reserve only foi the nations further iu the interior.

The time is fast approaching when the fa- nous prophecy of the Rev. Dr. Dionysius Gardner,'delivered in Dublin, and-fe-deliv- |red in Bristol, \thatit was*as easy to go\ to be moon, as to go direct from a port in Sn'gland to New York,\ will be tested: and ' i the time approaches for the trial, it may pt be amiss to remind pur readers of the {reparations that are making for it. There are two vessels at present building |o run direct from Bristol and London to Jew-York. The Great Western Ship Com- pany's vessel is building at Bristol, and is of Be following dimensions and power:— Length between Perpendiculars 216 feet. Beam 35 do. Depth in Hold 22 do. I The engines are 400 horse power, having lyltaders 73 inches in diameter, and seven pet stroke. This noble vessel is expected to be ready j the course of the approaching summer, Ind will most probably make her first voyage August next. She is intended to carry venty-five day's fuel->-a quantity quite)j§pfH cient to ensure the\\\re%ular performance of jie voyage in all weathers, i The British and American Steam Navi- btion-Company, whose head-quarters are in ndon, have contracted with Messrs. Cur-, ng, Young &'Co., of Limehouse, for a fessel of 1,795 tons, builders' measurement,\ pd of the following dimensions and pow- ( Lengthbetween Perpendiculars 235 feet. Beam 40 do. [Depth - 27 do. i have engines 460 horse power, having cy- Dders 76 inches in diameter, and seven feet Iroke. The engines are fitted to work either lith or without Hall's condenser, at the op: [on of the engineer. This magnificent ves- el, the largest steam vessel ever yet propel- bd, will have capacity for twenty-five day's lei, 800 tons of measurement goods, and > passengers. We sincerely wish both the Bristol vessel ad the London one all manner of success; bd when we reflect on the immense inter- Durse between this country, the United Itates, and Canada—60 thousand people hav- fg landed at New-York from the, first of anuary to the first of Sept., and 27,000 in luebec last year. The increase that will ftturally take place when the .passage is portened to fifteen days, instead of thirty- bven, the present outward average passage If the New-York packet ships, we do not aink that any, out of the numerous plans Jefore the public, hold out stronger induce- ments to the capitalist than such underta- I in s- , It is difficult to calculate the national ben I fit that will accrue to both countries by the stablishment of steam communication he- reon them->rihe one with an overflowing population, riie vt otlier with inexhaustible re- serves of ferflle'jands—the one the greatest manufacturing, the other the most extensive producing country in the world—both talk- ng the same language, and allied by blood, Religion and feeling, with one another.— Thus much, we may affirm,that it will great- py improve both countries, and render per- petual thejieace that now so happily exists between them. ATJGUSXA, Ga. March 29.—A large black JBpot is now distinctly visible to the naked eye upon the Sun's' disc. Thousands of speculations have been made in regard to these spots. The most rational explanation of these spots is given by Dr. Herscbell, who supposes them to be the opaque body of the sun seen through its luminous atmos- phere.-—Courier. serve in both sexes, in other countries seem to choke her, or produce an afFeration in the tone of her voice, for the astonishing quan- tity of meat which she swallowed down, and the readiness with which she called out to her attendants for. more, plainly showed her to be resolved that no squeamishness should interfere on this occasion. ' t. .n ADOLTEKATED TEA.—The London Quar- terly Review states that \ the verjr prevalent preference for green tea (so called) in the'U. States, has given J 'rfse to an extensive fraud •on the community of this, country by the Canton merchants, in the Supply pf our markets by the worst kinds of coarse bohea converted into '.' green\ by a composition of turme'ric, indigo, and white lead. •• The wri 7 ter-says he saw 50,000 phests of this spurr- ,ous article ready for shipment, ^hich- he was told was for.the American market; and that he was told that two-thirds of the tea annually used in America, was of the same quality.\ No wonder the use of tea is con- sidered deleterious. , JOAK d\\ ARC.—While some researches at Sainte Cbapelle, the original minutes of the proceedings against La Pucelle d'Orleans were brought to light. On the margin, next to her examination, is a portrait of her, apparently sketched by the clerk. A Frenchman once recovered very unex- pectedly from a fever, in consequence as the legend goes, of eating a red herring; where- upon his physician makes a memorandum in his common place book—'Red herring cures a. Frenchman\ of fever.' Upon prescribing the same remedy, however, to a Scotchman, the patient died ; and the^ M. D. extended his note—' but kills a Scotchman.'

T HE subscriber offers for sale his valua- ble FARM of 148 acres, situated on the Castle road, 3 miles west of Gen.eva, and 12 miles east from Canandaig.ua . There are 108 acres of said farm under good improve- ment, on which are two dwelling houses, one large, the other small, together with two barns, sheds, carriage house, and all other necessary out bouses, &c. one good and du- rable well of water, also, a never faitlng^nn- ning stream across one end of the premises. The farm is also well stocked with most kinds of fruit trees that grow in the country. On the remaining 40 acres there is an excellent growth of timber, consisting of Oak, Maple, Wbitewood, and most other kinds of timber produced in these regions. These premises are very pleasantly situated on a direct road from.Geneva to Canandaigua, and for fertility of soil is not exceeded by any. JOHN ANTHONY.. Seneca, April 11, 1836. 52tf ^ 1837.

They are new, spaeieus and sightly, and wilt; be fitted up on a convenience of plan and in a neatness of style that are. no.t exceeded. They .will accomodate forty pupils—allowing two to each room—with ,a General School Room, Chapel, and Recitatioti Rooms. The location is unsurpassed; in point of healthiness and beauty.

So far as a careful atten- tion to the personal comfort of the pupils, and a parental administration t)f the law of, kindness, can be supposed to render them ! happy and contented, as members of a school |so far may the calculations of patents be pirmed, in committing their sons to the dis- cipline and instruction of- this Institution, j The Institution will be carried on by the Principal and Proprietor, and their Assistants, of character and experience ID the profes- sion. Its plan is to take up and educate the pu- pil as he.exists in the sight of; Goqb-duly to regard his moral his intellectual, and his phy- sical nature?. • . _. In agreement with this natural constitu- tion of the pupil, the School will be arran- ged in three departments, the moral, the in- tellectual and the physical.' And no effort will be wanting on the part of this Principals to give to each the most efficient-direction. The Moral Department, which involves the government, will heuSupplied- by the Princi- pal. » It will efnbrace a course of moral and re- ligious studies adapted to each pupil. To the Holy Scriptures constant reference will be made as the foundation on which alone may be built a solid and enduring character and as the only safe and proper basis of a christian education. The views of Scripture truth and reli- gious duty presented, will be iu strict ac- cordance with the doctrines, disciplioe, and worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It will be the canstant endeavor in this de- partment to win over to the Saviour, and his body, the church, the first and strongest af- fections of the youthful heart. The Intellectual Department, will embrace all the ordinary English blanches necessary to business and commercial pursuits; with additional facilities for instruction in \the higher departments of learning, with refer- ence to College requirements, and also in drawing, and in modern languages. The fundamental branches of common education will receive particular attention, as Penman- ship, Reading, Arithmetic. ' It will be conducted by th.^-Prinoipal and Assistants, and by such, mosLsrs as it may be \necessary from time nriinie1«SPB^p'oyr~- •>- <: Instruction in tbis department will we di- rected to the understanding. -It will be tbe endeavor here to cultivate th'e thinking pout- ers. The pupils will therefore be taught the rationale of whatever comes before them, of Grammar and of the Sciences. Particular regard will be JiijiKf to the inten- ded future destination of the pupil, and bis education be directed accordingly. He may beJtted for the counting-room, for engin- eering, for college, for teaching, or for the study of the professions. The Physical Department, \Which is for exercise and health, is by no means of minor importance. It will be superintended always by a master, who will have the supervision and direction of fhepupils, in all hours not taken up by the exercises of the school, and [vwho will instruct, in agreeaWe and useful exercises, promotiveof health and happiness. Diligent attention to the performance of all duties, cheerful and exac't'obedience, and propriety of deportment, are expected of ev- ery'lad who becomes a member of the In- stitution. The admission of pupils will be restricted to no particular age. Th^ Domestic Arrangement of this estab- lishment will be such as to merit -the appro- bation of parents, and to make -the pupils in every respect comfortable. JU will be an in- variable rule for the. pupils, to fare, in all particulars, as do the Instructors, and tbe Principal, and family. A Directress will take charge of the ward- robes of the pupils, and keep them in ardor. Pupils at this institution, will have little reasonable use forpocEef motey, -They will be supplied by the Principal, with all neces* saries, and more than these, will serve only and nourish artificial tastes and wants, which have a too important bearing on fntuTB character. They will, therefore, be allowed no money, but at the pleasure of the Principal. This rule will save expense to the parent and character to the child. Tbe TERMS of the school are $230 per an- num, payable half-yearly in advanoe. The establishment being furnished with every re- quisite article for use, whether of furniture for domitpries, as beds, bedding &c, or ap- paratus for study, books, stationary &c, none\ of these are required to be furnished by the pupils, and no additional Charges made for the use thereof. There will be but one vacation in the year itndtrrat daringthTmonth of August. It is desirable that' every lad should have each article of his clothing distinctly marked with the initials of his name, and be posses- sed of a complete inventory of the whole. \Each pupil should also possess, as his own property, a 'Paragraph Bible,' and 'Book of Common Prayer.'

Well instructed *a»i*f<^;irlfrgm:eers now receive from $1000, to $30w per. annum, while principal'Engineei's readily obtain from $4000 to $10,000 a year. >.,;,.'. . '*\-. Several young gentlemen have 'firiisfied their course at this\ School and immediately obtained employment at $1000 to,$200*0 \petj annum. * ' ' -\ / The favorable mariner in which they fitive been received by the most scientific En'gi-, neers in the Union, has\ induced'the sobsftri-: ber to extend the course of sfudies; to in- crease the facihties for acquiring a thorough and correct practical and theoreticarknow- ledge of tbe science, and to adoprmtiny vn\t uable and important improvementrS,«uggcsted by the most eminent Engineers in the United States. A student who has completed a regular course of mathematics, may graduate in this school in six months, at an expense of $120 or $150. Others will require at least twelve months—all things being favorable. COURSE OF STUlilES AND INSTRUCTION. 1.

JOHNSON, Prof, of Civil Engineering. Bacon College, Ky. The following extracts of letters from two of the most scientific men in our country, will show the utility of this School. Frankfort, July \9, 1830. DEAR SIR: The four young gentlemen from the Georgetown Mathematical School, who are engaged as assistants in tbe Engi- neer Corps of the state, have performed the duties assigned to them in a very satisfactory manner. Among the joung gentlcmon of my acquaintance who have embraced the profession of Civil Engineering, those who have been educated at Mathematical Schools, have generally succeeded better than the graduates of our common colleges. A kuowledge of Mineralogy and Chemis- try is of great advantage to the Engineer; and it is absolutely necessary that he should be acquainted with Architectural or Line Drawing. The student should be taught the principles of construction at the same time he is taught to make his drawing. Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, SYLVESTER. WELCH, Engineer in chief for th? Stale of Ky. To T. Pi JOHNSON, ESC> LouismilhrJuhj 29, 1&58. SIB: It affords me pleasue to testify to the.very correct and satisfactory manner in which the two young gentlemen from your School have conducted themselves during the time they have been in the service, and the ability manifested by the prompt and skilful discharge of their several duties, is alike creditable to (hem and the character of the institution in which (hey were instructed The books comprised in your course of studies are appropriate and well selected.- 1 am pleased to hear that Topographical and Architectural Drawing is to form a part of your future course. This is an elegant ac- complishment to an Engineer, and in the early part-of his-career, will frequently brirrg him-into notice and hasten his promotion to more responsible stations, where his talents may be fully developed. 1 Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate the profession;, I trust they will be crowned with success, and I assure yon it will affojrd me very great pleasure to fender you any aid in iriy power to second your views..- \\ Your most obedient, ,'' .
