the Supreme Court of the United States, that the Judg- 

 es may be exempted from every other duty than those 

 which are incident to that high trust,— That the Indians 

 residing; within our limits be removed to a tract ol 

 country between the United States and Mexico, under 

 a territorial government established by Congress. 



The President closes with expressing his gratitude 

 for the public confidence and generous support which 

 he has received, and observes, — " From the present 

 j-rosperous and happy slate, I derive a gratification 

 which I cannot express. That these blessings may be 

 perpetuated, will be the object of my unceasing pray- 

 ers to the Supreme Uuler of the Universe." 



A joint committee from both houses was appointed for 

 adopting a mode of receiving Gen. Lafayette, who was 

 subsequently introduced into the Senate Room, and in- 

 vited by the president to take a seat prepared for him 

 on the right of the chair.

Boat Race. — A race between a boat belonging to the 

 ■Whitehall Boatmen, of New York, called the ^^mcri- 

 can S(ar, and a boat belonjiug to the British Frigate 

 Hussar, called the £)ar/, took place on the 9th inst. 

 which was won by the Americans. The purse run for, 

 was 52000. The number of spectators present, was es- 

 timated to be about 50,000. The distance run was 

 about 4 miles ; the race was accomplished in 22 min- 

 utes, and the Star came out about a quarter of a mile 

 or two minutes ahead. The American oarsmen lifted 

 their oars 46 times, and the British 39 times a minute. 

 The whole thing was conducted with great good na- 

 ture, and the crew of the Hussar's launch cheered the 

 victors manfully. 



Domestic Industry. — The annual Fair of the New- 

 York Mechanic and Scientific Institution look place at 

 the Arsenal on Friday of last week. From 11 till 3 o'- 

 clock, fhe large building appropriated to the exhlbitlo* 

 was crowded with spectators, intent upon an examina- 

 tion of the articles offered for premiums. The display 

 was rich and various, furnishing the most conclusive ev- 

 idence of the ingenuity, skill, and industry of our coun- 

 trymen, snd of the perfection at which the useful arts 

 hare arrived on this side of the Atlantic. 



It was the remark of good judges, that within the last 

 year most of the articles particularly the cloths, have 

 improved fifty per cent. The display in this de- 

 partment was extensive and unusually fine, embracing 

 specimens from nearly every manufactory in this State, 

 and from various parts of the United States, as far east 

 as Massachusetts, and as far west as Ohio. Gentlemen 

 who are familiar wi'h the work-shops of Europe, infor- 

 med us, that some of these cloths were not surpassed in 



texture, colour, and finish, by any they had seen in oth- 

 er couutrieS. — JS'. Y- Slatisinan. 



fVliile Fish, &c. — Between four and five thousand 

 barrels of excellent White Fish, have been taken this 

 season, at the Gtosse Isle fisheries alone. Tiny are 

 worth $6 per barrel. — These fish arc very delicious 

 food, and are found in great abundance. 



The huge and delieiiuis fish, called Miisktcnonjay, is 

 frequently taken in the nets with the White fish, on 

 which it feeds with great voracity. — They weigh from 

 10 to 50, and sometimes 70 pounds; but the largest 

 caught this season, measured 4 leet 4 inches, and weigh- 

 ed 47 pounds. — On opening it, three White fish, one 

 measuring 22 inches, were found within it ; and one 

 weighing 4o pounds has been presented to Col. Smvtii, 

 of this city, who intends to have its head and skin, 

 together with a fine while fish, preserved, and present- 

 ed to one of the Museums on the Atlantic board, — De- 

 troit Gaulle. 



Mr Harding. — .K letter from Glasgow, mentions, that 

 our countryman, Mr Harding, had visited that city, had 

 greatly improved in his art, and that there was no ques- 

 tion of his success. — We can add, on tlie information of 

 a gentleman who travelled with Mr H. in Scotland and 

 Ireland, that he every where received the highest pat- 

 ronage ; — that he passed some time professionally, at 

 the residence of Mr Coke, the great Norfolk Agricultu- 

 rist, and also at the seat of the Uuke of Hamilton, in 

 Scotland ; — that his time was conlinnally occupied, 

 wherever he resided ; and that his charge is twenty 

 guineas a portrait. 



Militia of Pennsi/lvania. — The late military returns 

 of Pennsylvania, state its militia at 158,512 rank and 

 file. -The volunteer corps are 34 troops of cavalry, 39 

 companies of artillery, 2So companies of Infantry, and 

 120 companies of riflemen. Total, twenty-three thou- 

 sand seven hundrecl and thirty-eight voluntary soldiers.

Stiperioritji of American Salt. — The Boston Pallad- 

 ium says, '* Salt is superior for preserving fish and meats, 

 in proportion to its weight. We understand Liverpool 

 salt weighs about 50 lbs. a bushel, and Massachusetts 

 salt about 70." 



JVtu) Invention. — A hatter of Glasgow has invented 

 a new species of water proof hats, obviatijig some of 

 the most formidable objections which attached to the 

 old plan. The disagreeable weight of the old water- 

 proof hats is not felt in those manufactured by Mr Gib- 

 son. The fabric is made of splits of whale-bone, about 

 the thickness of a hay straw, thinly woven together. — 

 The brim is made either of pasteboard or whalebone, 

 woven alternately with woolen yarn. The top and 

 sides are covered with cotton cloth, water-proofed in 

 the usual manner. Upon the top of this, the cloth, 

 with the exteriour silk upon it, is cemented as usu- 

 al. Such is the elacticity of these hats, that although 

 you place them under a weight sufficient to crush the 

 two sides together, they resume their original shape 

 whenever the pressure is removed. 



Leather Sheathing. — The schooner Eliza, belong- 

 ing to Messrs. Barker & Co. of New York, returned 

 from a voyage of six months on the 21st ult. It will 

 be recollected that this is the first vessel sheathed with 

 leather, and it is believed that the experiment has an- 

 swered the most sanguine expectations of the friends 

 of domestic industry. 



A pump has been invented at Baltimore, which is 

 said to work almost of itself, and to raise the water to 

 any given height. The expense of making is small, 

 and the plan simple. 



PRICES OF COUNTRY PRODUCE, &c. 



[Revised and corrected every Friday.] 



Cotton Yarn has been spun of the fineness of 350 

 hanks weighing only one pound. Each hank would 

 measure 140 yards, which multiplied by 350, will give 

 294,000 yards, or 162 miles and a fraction.
