John Paul Jones. — ^^'e are informed that Mr Sher- 

 burne, of the Navy Department, intends shortly to 

 publish an authentic Journal of the Cruises of this 

 once celebrated command, r, during the Revolutionary 

 War. This Journal, which Mr Sherburne has now in 

 his possession, was written by the flon. Elijah Hall, 

 (at present the Naval officer at Portsmouth, M. H. who 

 ■was one of his Lieutenants, his confidential friend, and 

 the only surviving officer that sailed with him, during 

 his cruises,) and under Ihe immediate inspection of 

 Capt. Jones, and contains every occurrence that took 

 place from day to day — also, the correspondence be- 

 tween them, and a correct list of our Navv in 177G, 

 '77, '78, ■'79 and '80— the names of the ships, where 

 built, rates, and commanders' names, Szc. 



Gen. ICosciiiico. — The Co'ps of Cadets of the Unit- 

 ed States Military Academy, have otlerpd a gold med- 

 al of .$50 value, for the beat design of a Monument 

 to the nieranry of General Thaddeus A'osciusco^ The 

 Monument is to be erecteil at West Point, on a rude

 Garden, because it had once been his favourite retreat 

 in his leisure moments. Designs to be exhibited by the 

 first of January, 1825. Communications to be addres- 

 sed to James S. Thompson, P. M'.Martin, and T. II. 

 Ridgely, Committee of Cadets, West Point. 



Glastenbury, in Connecticut, and certainly does great 

 credit to their ingenuity. The cloak is to be sent to 

 Washington, as a present to Mr Monroe. 



Paper. — A substitute for rags, for paper making, has 

 been discovered in France. It will make Ihe best of 

 paper, at one half of the present price ; and it is sup- 

 both 



I France, England and America. 



The Corn crops in some parts of North Carolina are 

 good, but the cotton is unpromising. 



Sirallow/ifld Place, in England, -where the room re- 

 mains in which Queen Anne was born, has been lately 

 sold for near $250,000. 



.1 Mammoth. — Four large gfrinders of some 

 unknown aniinnl, toofcther wilh two bones, ap- 

 piirentiy that part of the spine adjoining: the 

 hoad, were diisr up n ?hnrt time since, in tlie vi- 

 rinitv of Lev\istown, (Penn.) Two of the grin- 

 ders are six inches long, 3 inches wide and 16 

 inches in circumference. One of them weighs 

 three pounds and a half. 



mestic Economy. The Lectures arc founded upon the 

 principles of Chemistry, which will be fully illustrated 

 by experiments, and such other of the sciences as can 

 be applied, upon personal experience in Agriculture, 

 and the experience of others, collected from travtllin-- 

 in various parts of the United Slates, and an extensive 

 course of enquiries from practical men and from books 

 upon practical farming and the other concerns of Com- 

 mon Life. 



The course will consist of from 75 to 100 Lectures, 

 given in as quick succession as shall appear expedient, 

 at the commencement of the term. The price of this 

 course, independent of the general course of studies in 

 the school, will be 10 Dollars. The price of the gene- 

 ral course of studies is 15 Dollars a term, or 30 Dollars 

 a year. Derby, October 12. 1824. 



Civil R'ar.— Accounts from Mexico mention, that a 

 dreadful civil war was raging in the interionr of Gua- 

 tamala. and that the city of Granada, in Nicaragua, 

 was invested by 3500 troops. This information- is cor- 

 roborated by accounts received here from Tnu-illo, 

 which add that 110 whites have been massacred in 

 Leon, that the utmost distress prevailed, and that all 

 business was at a stand. This part of Spanish Ameri- 

 ca is very populous, the lands being extremely fertile. 

 The revolt originated with the native population, who 

 are extremely inimical to the Spaniards and their de- 

 scendants, and as lawless as they are numerous. 



.Mineralnffi/.— It is stated in the Quebec papers, that 

 the coast of Labrador abounds with valuable and beau- 

 tiful specimens of the quartz family, particularly vari- 

 ■eties of cornelian, agate, opal, jasper, and a peculiar 

 kind of field S|iar, of the sky bine variety, almost ex- 

 clusively found on the coast. The latter is hard and 

 takes a fine polish. Some parts of it have been cut and 

 manufactured into snuff boxes, rings, ic. It is found 

 imbedded in a gray granite rock. The whole north 

 shore of the St. Lawrence from Quebec to its mouth, 

 and the Labrador coast, appear to present a wide field 

 for the researches of the geologist and mineralogist, 

 which is not generally met with. 



Emisralion.—The arrangements in England for the 

 Steam Boat Line of Packets to Nova Scotia, and the 

 Canadian Settling Company, are rapidly proceeding to 

 maturity. The population of the world, which increa- 

 ses so immensely in times of peace, plenty and health, 

 must be provided for.

JVew England Museum — 76 Court-SrU. 



THE public are respectfully informed, that this 

 Great Establishment, far more extensive, 

 and containing a much greater number and vari- 

 ety of costly and interesting curiosities than any other 

 Museum in America, continues steadily to increase — 

 the whole receipts being immediately applied for that 

 purpose. It fills eleven spacious Halls and Apartments ; 

 two of which are lofty Halls, 70 by 80 feet. 



Numerous additions have been made within the last 

 year, and particularly within the last three mouths. — 

 Among them, a few only can here be noticed. 



A JVIiale 19 feet long, which weighed nearly 3 tons 

 — this is the smallest kind of Whale, and is commonly 

 called a black fish by sailors. 



The Vampire of the Ocean. — This monster moves in 

 the water as a bird flies in the air, is 18 feet broad across 

 the wings, has two heads, and a mouth large enough to 

 take in a hogshead ; it weighed when taken, upwards 

 of five tons. It is the only one ever taken in any 

 country. 



The great Basking Shark, 21 feet 3 inches long, the 

 first seen in these parts. 



The Moose, Elk, and Lion, from Asia. 



A Canoe made of skins, from Greenland. 



The great Leviatlian Turtle, weighing 8^19 pounds, 

 from the Mediteranean, — the only one ever seen here. 



The Ghiss Bee Hive. — Tliis is a very great curiosity. 

 It contains 56 pounds of honey, and was admired by 

 thousands at the Brighton Cattle Show, where it was 

 exhibited. 



It is hoped that every person from the country will 

 visit this Establishment, where so much information, 

 combined with interesting amusement, may be found 

 for the small sum oi twenty-Jive cents only.
