'< Thank jroa," said Joe, " I illdrPl ask you for want of a compliment, but thank you all the same. Do I look like a sneaking; fellow or a Hart"

The sergeant rejoined with many choice assev­erations that ho tlid'ntj and that if hl i (the Ser­jeant's) awn father were to nay he did, he would run the old gentleman through the body cheer­fully, and consider it a meritorious aotlon.

Joe expressed his obligation, and continued, " You can trust m e then, anil credit what I say.— I believe I shall enlist in your rejrimentto-night. The reason t don't do so now, is because f dont want, until to-night, to do what I can't recall. Where (.halt I llnd you this evening?" ,

His friend replied with some unwillingness, and after much ineffectual entreaty having for it* ob­ject the immediate settlement of the business, that his quarters would be at the Crooked Billet in Tower street) where he would be found waking until midnight, and sleeping until breakfast time to-morrow.

" And if I do c o m e - w h i c h it's a million to one 1 shall-—when will you take me out of London?" demanded Joe.

«' To-morrow morning, at half past eight o'-clock," replied the aerjeant. « You'll go abroad —a country where it's all sunshine and plunder— the driest climate, in the world."

" To go abroad,'' said Joe, shaking hands with him, " Is the very thing I want. You may ex­pect me."

" You're the kind of lad for us," cried the Ser­jeant, holding Joe's hand in Ids in the excess of his admiration, " You're the boy to push your fortune. I don't say it because I owe you any envy, or would take away from the credit of the rise you'll make, but if I had been bred and taught l ike you, I'd been a colonel by this time."

" Tush man!" said Joe, " I'm not so young as that. Needs must when the devil drives; and the ilevll that drives ma is an empty pocket and an unhappy homo. For the present good bye."

" For king and country !" cried the Serjeant, flourishing his cap.

" For breail ami meat!" cried Joe, snappinghls lingers. And so they parted.

He had very little money in his pocket; so lit­tle indeed, that, after (raying for his breakfast (which he was too honest and perhaps too proud to score up to his father's charge) he had but a penny left. He had courage, notwithstanding, to resist all the all'ocllonate importunities of the Ser­jeant, who waylaid him at the door with many protestations of eternal friendship, and did in par­ticular request that he would do him the favor to accept of only one shilling as a temporary accom­modation. Rejecting his offers both of cash and credit, Joe walked away with slick and bundle as before, bent upon getting through the day as he best could, anil going down to the locksmith's in the dusk of the evening; for it should go hard, he hail resolved, but he would have a parting word with, charming Dolly Vardon.

l i e went out by Islington and so on to Highgate, and sat on many stones and gates, but there were no voices in the bolls to bid him turn. Since the time of noble Whittington, fair tlower of mer­chants, bolls havo come to have less sympathy with humankind. They only ring for money and on state occasions. Wanderers have increased in number; ships leave the Thames for distant re­gions, carrying from stem to stern no other cargo; the bells aro silent; they ring out no entreaties or regrets; they are used to it and have grown worldly.

Joe bought a roll, and reduced his purse to the condition (with a difference) of that celebrated purse of Forlunatus, which, whatever were its favored owner's necessities, had one unvarying amount in it. In these real times, when all the Faries are dead and buried, there are still a great many purses which possess thai quality. The sum-total they contain is expressed in arithmetic by a circle and whether it be added to or multi­plied by its own amount, the result of the prob­lem is more easily slated than any known in fig­ures.

Evening drew on at last. With the desolate and solitary feeling of one who had no home or shelter, anil was alone utterly in the world for the first lime, lie bent his steps towards the lock­smith's house. He had delayed till now, knowing that Mrs. Vardcn sometimes went out alone, or with Mlggs for her sole attendant, to lectures in the evening ; and devoutly hoping that this might be one of her nights of moral culture.

He had walked up and down before the house, on the opposite side of the way, two or three times, when he returned to it again, he caught a glimpse of a fluttering skirt at the door. It was Dolly's—to whom clso could it belong I—no dress but hers had BIICII a flow as that. He plucked up his spirits, and followed it into the workshop of the Golden Key.

His darkening the door caused her to look round. Oh that face! " If it hadn't been for that," thought Joe,'< I should never have walked into poor Tom Cobb. She's twenty times handsomer than ever. She might marry a Lord!"

He didn't say this. He only thought it—per­haps looked it also. Dolly was glad to see him, and was so sorry her father and mother were away from home. Joe begged she would'nt mention it on any account.

Dolly hesitated to lead the way into tho parlor, for there it was nearly dark; at the same lime she hesitated to stand talking in the workshop which was yet light and open to the street. They had got by some means, too, before the little forge; and Joe having her hand in his (which he had no right to have, for Dolly only gave it him to shake,) it was so like standing before some home­ly altar being married, that it was the most em­barrassing state of things in the world.

" I havo come," said Joe, " to say good-bye-

stuck negligently on one side of his head, and .his arms very much a-kimbo.

" Have my ears deceived me," *»ld (lie 'pren­tice, "or do I dreamt am I to think" thee, For tun', or to ens thee—which?" .,

He gravely descended from his elevation, took down his piece of looking glass, planted it against tho wall upon the usual bench, twisted hi* head round, and looked closely at his legs.

" I f they 're adream," said Sim, " l e t sculptures have such visions, and chisel 'em out when they wake. This is reality. Sleep has no such limbs as them. Tremble, Willet, and despair. S h e ' s mine I she '* initial"

With these triumphant expressions, he seized a hammer and dealt a heavy blow at a vice, which in his mind's eye represented the sconce or head of Joseph Willet. That done, he burst into a peal of laughter which startled Miss Miggs even in her distant kitchen, and dipping his head into a bowl of water, had recourse to a jack-towel inside the closet door, which served the double purpose of smothering his feelings and drying his face.

Joe, disconsolate and down-hearted, but full of courage too, on leaving the locksmith's house made the best of his way to tho Crooked Billet, and (here inquired for his friend, the Serjeant, who, expecting no man less, received him with open arms. In the course of Ave minutes after his arrival at that house of entertainment, he was enrolled among the gallant defenders of his na­tive land; and within half an hour, was regaled with a steaming supper of boiled tripe and onions, prepared, as his friend assured him more than once, at the express command of his most Sacred Majesty the King. To this meal, which tasted very savory aftor his long fasting, he did ample Justice—and when he had followed It up, or down, with a variety of loyal and patriotic toasls, he was conducted to a straw mattress in a loft over the stable, and locked in there for the night.

The next morning, he found that the obliging care of his martial friend had decorated his hat with sundry parti-colored streamers, which made a very lively appearance; and in company with that officer, and three other military gentlemen newly enrolled, who were under a cloud so dense that it only left three shoes, a boot, and a coatand a half visible among them, repaired to the river­side. Here they were joined by a corporal and four more heroes, of whom two were drunk and daring, and two sober and penitent, but each of whom, like Joe, had his dusty stick and bundle. The party embarked in a passage-boat bound for Gravesend, whence they were to proceed on foot to Chatham,- the wind was in their favor, and they soon left London behind them, a mere dark mist—a giant phantom in the air.

RUMORED ATTEMPT TO RESCUE McLEOD.

GREAT HOAX.—On the 27th inst., we under­stand letters were received by the shcrill'uiid first judge of this county, residing at Whitestown, from the Governor and the Secretary of State of this state, informing them that authentic informa­tion had been received at the seat of government that a body of about three hundred men from Canada were to rendezvous on the evening of the 27th, in the town of Marcy, adjoining Whites, town, opposite, on the north side of the Mohawk, and make an attempt to rescue Mcl.eod and con­duct him to Canada. The sheriff immediately called out the inhabitants, mustered all the arms and ammunition in the place, shotted the guns, and placed a guard around the jail. He also sent to I/lieu and procured more arms and ammuni­tion; and the armed posse guarded the jail brave­ly and manfully until morning; but no attempt was made; no foe appeared; and no trace of the invaders has been discovered. " Order reigns at Warsaw." The country is quiet. The jail is well defended, and a strict guard will be main­tained in future.—[Vtiea Democrat.

McI.EOD'S TRIAL.

As many inquiries are made respecting the time and place of this trial, we will state, for the in­formation of the public, that the Court of Oyer and Terminer, and Circuit Court, at which he will be tried, will commence its session at the Acade­my, in the city of Utica, on Monday, the 27th of September; that a panel of forty-eight petit ju­rors had been ordered, and will be drawn by tho county clerk, in the presence of the first judge and the sheriff of the county, at the county clerk's office in this city on Thursday next, at 10 A. M. The drawing is public, and all who feel any in­terest have a right to bo present. The jurors are drawn from boxes in which their names are pla­ced; which names are taken from lists returned to the clerk's office once in three years by the town officers. There can be no partiality, fraud or corruption exercised in the drawing, and the character of the drawing officers is above suspicion or reproach even if there could. The Chief Jus-lice, Hon. Samuel Nelson, will preside on this trial. The Attorney General will prosecute, and Mr. J. A. Spencer will defend the prisoner. He will have a fair trial, without prejudice or par­tiality; and if guilty, be convicted; if innocent, bo acquitted.—[Idem.

[From ilic Albany Daily Advertiser] It is well known that this case has been the sub­

MR. ^VKRETT, & BIB FEDERAL FRIENDS.

It is scarcely less limn atnusino; to witness the tempest of indignation with which, by a concerted signal, the federal presses denounce the threatened or expected rejection of Mr. Ev­erett. Not only are the refractory senators who may have the temerity lo vote against him, visited in advance with extreme " wrath and cabbage," but nothing less than a dissolu­tion of tlie Union is declared to be the imme­diate and certain result of their course. " If " the South shall force this issue upon us (ex " claims Ihe American) we say to lliem in all " earnestness, that they ate digging Ihe grave " of the Union." " If the South are ready for " the consequences of such a deadly issue " (echoes the Eve. Journal)—Ihe crisis must " come—and for its results, be Ihey what they " may, they alone will be responsible. They " will have kindled tho fire, and when too laic, " they will discover that they alone must suffer " its fearful ravages. They will have applied a " torch to the magazine, and should (lie Union " be riven to-pieces by Ihe explosion, Ihey a-"lone will be involved in its ruins."

•I'II. A.M.iii. . . Eci.r.cttc, for Soutembor. An enumeration of the articles Of the present

number will bo quite enough to satisfy the render that this admirablo and valuable publication is well sustained in its spirit and design. First, the conclusion of an able review of Hal Iain's Intro­duction to tho Literature of Europe, from tho Bri­tish and Foreign Review. Then a rapid and spirited sketch of M. Oulzot, by the junior editor; with a translation of an article by that distinguish­ed statesman and author, on " Tho State of Souls." History and Literature of the Samaritans, by tho learned blacksmith of Worcester, Elihu llurrit; and a translation of a remarkable epistle, the first letter from the Samaritants of Sichem, lo their brethren in England. Of this correspondence, tho following account is given: "During the earlier ages of the Christian church, Or­

ison, Kuseblus, Jerome ami others had cited the Sam-niitnn l'eiitiitiniclt; but from the end of (ho sixth to the seventeenth century, it remained iuoblivion, with­out ever boing mentioned by the Christians of the Kant or West. At this latter period, Julius, Scallger, having hoard that tho Samaritans of the Hast still re­tained this Pentateuch, called the attention of the learned lo ihe importance of securing a copy. This object was dually effected by Pietro dclla Yalle, in liiiii, who found and purchased one in Damascus.-Pour year afterwards it was sent to Paris, Several others were subsequently brought Into Europe, be-sides other Samaritan manuscripts, consisting of fragments of liturgies, commentaries, etc., The S»-t>.m« of Europe not only succeeded in securing liltcen or sixteen of these copies, but,—what was equally in­teresting to them, as wc trust It will be to our read­ers,—they wero so fortunate as to set mvToot that correspondence which wc propose to give .under the head of Epistole Sainaritame.

" Among those who were the most active in bring­ing about this correspondence, was Robert Hunting-ton, III"n Minister of the Gospel of the English Facto­ry in Aleppo. While on a tour to Jerusalem, in 1071, put to flight by some of the simplest facts in Ihe

The lively interest ho manifested in compresse possibly as late as 1830—Mr. Everett had a vowed opinions, sound and right in ouv judg­ment, touching the question of slavery, and Ihe attempts of the Abolitionists to disturb the con­stitutional compromises on that subject, i lo

y in them, excited their wonder and surprise; and they asked him, if there were Israelites also in his coun­try. Having replied in the affirmative, they handed him a leaf written in Samaritan characters; and when they saw that he could read them, their astonishment redoubled, and they began to think that 'they hud found an Israelite indeed, in whom there was no guile.' They had no doubt that the Israelites, spok-

He proposed that they should write to these pretended brethren in Eng­land; and enlighten them upon the principal points of their religion; but above all to give them anaccount of all the religious rites, observances, customs, milli­ners—domestic, social, civil and religious—which distinguished tlieni from ihe Jews. And, as a further expression of his religious sympathy for these English Israelites, he suggested the importance of sending tlieni it copy of the law. This ruse, of doubtful piety, succeeded admirably. One of the Samaritans immedi­ately put into his hands a copy of the Pentateuch; and eight or ten days afterwards, they sent him in Jeru­salem, the letter which he tvul asked and olfereil to forward to their brethren in England.

At a later period, however, when Mr. Ev-erett, running as the " whig" candidate for governor, considered it essential to his success to secure the abolition votes of the common­wealth, Ae replied in such form lo their interrogatories as he doubtless believed would effect that object. Whether stub was its immediate effect or not, is not material to our argument. It is undoubtedly Ihe course of Mr. Everett on this question—because, truck

Having published from the Journal of Com­merce, tho article to which jBie following is a HSplyj wc insert it as a matter of justice to Messrs. Stephens tmd Catherwood, of whose fi­delity to Ihe truth in all tliat relates to ihe inte­resting country tliey visited, it is an amplo vin­dication.

To the Editors of the Journal of Commerce-Gentlemen: In the absence of Mr. Stephens

from New York, allow mo to say a few words In explanation of an article in tho Journal of tho 24th inst. i t is there stated, that on a recent visit to the Chevalier Frederlohsthal, who is represented as being just from Central America, after ex­ploring the ruins of that country during a .period of nine months, the magnified Impressions from his Daugerrcotypo views wero compared with sketches in the work of Messrs. Stephens &Cath-erwood, which sketches in every case wero found " defective, imperfeot and different from the im­pressions." Now this would lead the reader to suppose that the Chevalier, had visited Central America on his late excursion, whereas such is not the case, he not having even set foot in that country; not having seen Copan, Quingua, Santa Crust del Quiche, Palmiqito & c , and of course having no Daguerreotype viows of them. I would ask how could any comparison bo made with those published in Mr. Stephens' work? Indeed from tho local position of the greater number of tho objeots, the Daguerreotype could not havo been used at all. The faotissimply this; 9 or 10 months ago, the Chevalier Eroderlchsthal rcques ted Mr. Stephens to point out to him a route in that region of the world that had not been visited, and Mr. S. named Yucatan as being less known than any other, and the Chevalier accordingly confined his rsenrches to that section of the country, and the only placo which wc visited in common was Uxmal. At this placo, owing to my illness, wo remained but one or two days, and I made in all 3 drawings; one being a view, anoth­er a ground plan, (which I have never heard of the Daguerreotype being yet able to accomplish,) and the third a fragment of a building. It fol­lows, that of 77 drawings in Mr. Stephens' work, there are only two with which a comparison could by possibility have been made, and it is not at all likely that in so vast a Held of ruins as Ux­mal, the Chevalier and myself should have hit upon tho same points of view, and t am therefore at a loss to understand how a comparison could have been made between objects which I trust I have shown are totally dissimilar.

Yours respectfully,

T. CATHEKWOOD. New York, 25th August, 1811.

Mr. Knapp called on us as an old acquaintance and friend, and placed in our hands five volumes of library books which ho told ua contained some private matters of importance, which, under the high state of public excitement, might not be safe in his own hands. After he had left town, under the charge of the officers, some of the citizens called upon us to examine the books. To this we demurred. Finally that evening, quite a number of citizens, who were holders of Mine­ral Point money, collected at our office, and be­ing convinced that the books contained matters of public concernment, determined they should be placed In the hands of the Clerk of the Court for better security. This was agreed to by all par­ties. On Monday evening Mr. Banks, one of the Commissioners appointed to settle tho affairs of the late institution, came on with proper author­ity to take possession of them as the property of the bank. They were opened in the presence of several witnesses, when it was ascertained that the fly-leaf of each had been pasted to the cover since they left the hands of the binder. On ripping up those, lo I a sight was presented that made flic eyes of some glisten as they never did at the con­tents of a book before.

We don't believe that Texas will ever again be invaded by Mexico. It it stated in the papers that Santa Anna was ma­king vigorous preparations to quel the revolution iu Tgbasco.

REMARKABLE H A I L STORM.—About three o' clock yesterday afternoon, clouds wero shooting

1 up from various points, indicating that rain, so \ long needed,was about to refresh the earth. Spec-] dily a few large drops came pattering down and I then all wasstill again. Hut the repose was speed­

ily broken—-tho windows of heaven seemed open, and such a descent of hail we never witnessed for the space of about fifteen minutes. The severity of the storm passed over the Southeastern part of

I the city—stones clear as crystal, of the si/.c of I musket balls, literally covering the ground. The 1 windows in that section, unprotected by blinds,

were left without scarcely a whole pane of glass. One hundred were broken in the house where we were at the time. The bark of young peach trees was beaten oil'and the wood itself conside­rably bruised. Every thing in the shape of vines were destroyed, while the cabbages looked as though they had been assailed by musketry.— Three hours after the cessation of the storm, we passed along Monroe street where we saw a win-row of these icy messengers from the upper re­gions. Much damage must have been done in the line of this extraordinary storm.

A gentleman, Mr. Adams, just from an adja­cent town, says, that in one building which he was in, there were from sixty to eighty panes of glass broken, and a great many of the hail pebbles, which penetrated the windows, were near the size of a lien's egg.— [Roch. D. Adv. Monday.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday evening Mr. Thomas L. Proctor, a highly respectable mer­chant of Danville, Kentucky, called into the store of Messrs. Odenheimer k Tcncnt, in Market »t. Philadelphia, and asked if there was a little pack­age for him, which he expected to receive through their care. He was told by a member of the house that there was, who, upon handing it, asked if it was t/ieone, meaning one from his family of which he was in expectation. The gentleman replied, at the same time opening the letter han­ded him, " No, sir, not the one," and while in the

She remarked in the same breath that it was a flue night, and in short, betrayed no more emo­tion than the forge itself.

" I could'nt go," said Joe, " without coming to see you. I had'nt the heart to."

Dolly was more sorry than she could tell, that he should have taken so much trouble. It was a long way, and he must have had such a deal to do. And how was Mr. Willet—that dear old gentleman—

"Is this all you say!" cried Joe. Al l ! tiood gracious, what did the man expect?

She was obliged to tako her apron In her hand and run her eyes along the hem from corner to corner, to keep herself from laughing in his face;

Dolly in the meanwhile, turned to the comers of her apron and measured the sides, and smooth-•;d out the wrinkles, and was as silent as he. At last after a long pause, Joe said good-bye. j "Good-bye"—said Dolly—with as pleasant a smile . as if he were going into the next street, and were coming back to support, " good-bye."

• ' Come," said Joe putting out both his hands, " D o l l y , dear Dolly, don't let us part likothis. I love you dearly, with all my heart and soul; with as much truth and earnestness as man ever loved woman in this world, I do believe. I am a poor fellow—as you know—poorer now than ever, for I have fled from home, not being able to bear it any longer, and must fight my own way without help. Vou are beautiful, admired, are loved by every body, are well off and happy; and may you ever be so! Heaven forbid I should ever make you otherwise, but give me a word of comfort. Say something kind to me. I havo no right to expect it of you, I know, but I ask it because I love you, and shall treasure the slightest word from you all through my life. Dolly, dearest, have you noth­ing to say to me?"

No. Nothing. Dolly wasa coquette by nature, and a spoilt child. She had no notion of being oarried by storm in this way. The coachmaker would have been dissolved in tears, and would have knelt down and called himself names, and .•lisped his hands and beat his breast, and tugtted wildly at his cravat, and done all kinds of poetry. Joe had no business lo be going abroad. l i e had no right to be able to do it. If he was in ada­mantine chains, he couldn't.

" I have said goodbye ," said Dolly, "twice . Take your arm away directly, Mr. Joseph, or I'll c i l l Mlggs."

>< I'll not reproach you," answered Joe, " it's my fault, no doubt. I have thought sometimes that you didn't quite despise me, but I was a fool to think so. Every one must, who has seen the life I have led—you most of all. God bless you!"

He was gone, actually gone. Dolly waited a little while, thinking he would return, peeped out at the door, looked up the street and down as well as the increasing darkness would allow, came in again, waited a little longer, went up stairs hum­ming a tunc, bolted herself in, laid her head down on her bed, and cried as if her heart would break. And yet such natures aro made up of so many contradictions, that if Joe Willet had come back that night, next day, next week, next month, the odds are a hundred to one she would have treated him in the very same manner, and have wept for it afterward with the very same distress.

She had no sooner left the workshop than there cautiously peered out from behind the chimney of the forge, a face which had already emerged from Ihe same concealment twice or thrice, un­seen, ami w4#h> after satisfying itself that it was now alone, was followed by a leg, a shoulder, ami so on by degrees, until Uie form of Mr. Tap. pertit stood confessed, with a brown-paper cap j Mercury

ORIGINAL LETTER OK JEFFERSON'S.

At the meeting of the Georgia Historical Socie­ty on the 9th instant, Dr. Stevens, in behalf of the Hon. Ashbury Hull, of Athens, presented to the Society an original letter of Thos. Jefferson, writ­ten before' he went to College. We have been favored with a copy of it to lay before our read­ers, as an interesting specimen of epistolary writing by a youth of sixteen, the future signer of the Declaration of Independence. It shows great force and directness of mind, and exhibits the fact, that even then his aspirations reached forward into the shadowy future.

(eorv,) •S'Auifti'cil, January IMA, 1760.

Sir—I was at Colo. Peter Randolph's about a Fort­night ago, \ my schooling falling into Discourse, he said he thought it would be to niy advantage to go to the College, and was desirous I should go, as indeed I am myself tor several Reasons. In the Hist place as long as 1 stay at the Mountains the Loss of one fourth of my Time is inevitable, by Company's comiug here and detaining me from school. And likewise my ab­sence will in a great measure put a slop to so much Company, and by that Means lessen the Expenses of the I'stute In House-keeping. And on the other Hand by goin to the College I shall get a more universal Ac­quaintance, which may hereafter be serviceable to me; and I suppose I can pursue my studies in the Greek A Latin as well there as here, * likewise learn some­thing of the Mathematics. I shall be glad of your opinion, and remain, Sir,

Your most humble serv't, THOS. JEFFERSON, Junr.

To Mr.'John Harvey, at Bellemont. Jefferson was born at Shadwell, Albemarle

Co., Va., April 2d, O. 8. 1743, and was therefore not quite seventeen when the letter was penned. This appeal to Col. Harvey, who was his guar­dian, his father having died when he was but twelve years old, was successful, and in the spring of 1760, he entered William and Mary College, which, at that time, was under most excellent management.— [Savannah Georgian.

BUTLER COUNT B A N K . — W e stated several weeks since that preparations were making to put on foot the Butler County Bank, upon some pretended library charter. So it turns out. A set of speculators headed by John Wood, an Indianapolis broker, have galvanised the Dan-Town Library, whose charter expressly prohibits the employment of any funds in banking, and no more confers power to bank, than thc command, " thou shalt not kill" does to murder. They are about to commence, or have commenced the is­sue of notes.— [Cincinnati Qaz.

MORE OK THE KAINS.—The greatest fall of wa­ter known in Charleston, came upon us on Tucs. day afternoon and night, principally between 11 o'clock in thc evening and day-light. The con­tinuous roar of the rain was like the thunder ol tho ocean in a storm. The quantity of watei which fell from 9 A. M. Tuesday to 9 A. M. Wednesday, wo learn from tho Citadel, was 7 24-100 inches. The actual period during

J which this deluge was pouring, w as not over •; hours. The cellars in all thc lower situations of the city, were flooded, some lo the depth of (wo feet, ami much loss was sustained by those who had valuable groceries in their cellars. Tin city drains in some places were burst by the press of water. The damage to the crops from this frightful flood cannot but be great, as there was every appearance that Hie rain was general, and it was also accompanied by considerable wind. Thc business prospects for thc season are very gloomy. The health of thc city, however, continues good—probably it was never belter at this season, and wc have now a fair prospect of escaping thc visitation of yellow fever.— [Char­leston Mercury, Aug. 2Mh.

x PIPES—The manufacturers invite attention tothe excellence of their improved Lead Pipes, which sir uinde by n newly invented process of a belter qnsiui limn can be produced by any other known method

The Patent Pipe is remarkable for accuracy of call tire and uniformity of ihickne.s; for solidity and nun sunt strength, ami is warranted free from scales or flaws. It is mndo in lengths of from 30 to 300 feel without a mint, nnd the interior surfnee is beautifully polished throughout; from which peculiarity n will convey a much greater quantity of water than ordnia ry lead pipes, which are very liable lo have ecales of lead on the interior surface, and whose joints, occur. ing every 8 or 16 feet, cause obstruction to the flow of water, dec.

This Patent Pipe is now becoming generally used for pumps, Ac, ami for conducting water from spring! at long distances.

A great variety of sizes constantly on hand, and any size made to order, provided the quantity be not ten than one ton.

It is sold at the same price as the common article by BENJAMIN TATHAM, Ji
