NEW ENGLAND FARIVfER. 



295 



Some little ju(tg;ti)cnt of modern luxury, anil the value 

 set on race horses, may be sjathereil Irom the loUowing 

 facts; Mr Thonihill was oflored, in IftM, J500 suiui^as 

 (over $16,600,) for his winnin» liorsc Sailor, which he 

 refused, a'ld soon alter the hoi so liroUe a vessel, and 

 died. — In Ui-M, Mr Gulley offered Mr llatson SOOOguin- 

 cas for the winning horse f^erab ; which was also refus- 

 ed, and soon after Serab took a old, and has never run 

 well 'ijice. In the same year the Unke of Lecrls refus- 

 ed li'jOO o^nineas for his horse Vlercutio ; and a few days 

 after MercHtio died of inflammation. The farts being ex- 

 tra-irilinary are. mentioned; hot other oflirs equally 

 extravr^gant have been atrepted. 



Biped races are rapidly superseding those of Quad- 

 rupeds in interest. Several matches f.ir running over 

 the six bridges of London have recently been made, and 

 are all the rage. The distance is something over five 

 miles; and yesterday (Feb. 6th ]S-.;j) it was done by 

 Mr Pedley, in 32 minutes, who walked home fresh. — 

 The bet was 70 sovereigns, and he had 38 minutes to 

 run the distance in. 



Fal Pork.— The Bridgeton, N. J. Whig, gives a 

 )iarlicular account of some half dozen Swine, that 

 have been killed wilhin a short time in that neighbor- 

 hood. Mr Maskell Ware of Roadstown, raised one 

 whose weight, after dressing wa« 740 lbs. Mr John- 

 ston of Bridgeton, killed two, nineteen months old. 

 whose united weight was 1100 lbs. These results are 

 derived from a careful attention to the breed of ani- 

 mals, and it is asserted, a farmer can make one of the 

 breed of Swine referred to, weigh 1300 lbs. 



Slenm Boats. — The New- York National Advocate 

 states that since last summer, about thirty steam boats 

 of different sizes, have been laid on the stocks in sever- 

 al sh ip yards of that city. 



Coffee plantations have suffered excessively from 

 heavy rains, and vessels were leaving the port for want 

 of freight, for New Orleans and Mobile. 



A gentleman was knocked down in Philadelphia, 

 about eight o'clock in the evening, who robbed him of 

 his pocket book, with which he made off. 



Three criminals in a German Prison have been de- 

 tected in a habit of going out through a breach they 

 had made, committing robberies and returning. 



Rapid Progress of Manufacfures in Irelavd-^^yir 

 Foster, a member of '-ho British House of Commons, 

 in debate before thai b;.ay, on the 11 of Feb. last, stat- 

 ed that in I8'2i not a yai'l of cotton was exported from 

 Ireland : but (hat ia coTse.-juenet of the repeal of the 

 duties heretofore existiiigs such immense .quantities 

 had been manufactured, t^iaf duiing the last year no 

 less than six millions of yards of Cottan Cloth were 

 exported from that country. 



It is stated in a Philadelphia paper that the cargo of 

 the Caledonia, arrived at that port, cost $400,000 in 

 Canton. 



The board of Engineers,consisting of General Bernard, 

 Mr. Shriver, and the other off.cers and gentlemen at- 

 tached to that service, sat out on Tuesday last on a 

 tour of reconnoissance through the Southern States, 

 with the view of ascertaining the most eligible route 

 for the contemplated National Road from the seat of 

 government to New Orleans. 



From Scolliind — The Greenock Chronicle of the lOth 

 ult. ])er the Mentor, contains the most important pas- 

 sages of Gov. Clinton's Message to the Legislature ; 

 which, it says, " are interesting and gratifying, full of 

 hop ■ and promise for the advancement of human nature. 

 What a mass (says the editor) of literary rubbish of the 

 De Lolme school has been exploded by the progress 

 of the United States." 



A Miss Slalei/, of Frederick countv, Maryland, has 

 recovered $3000 of a Mr. Burkhart, for a breach of 

 marriage promise. In a similar case lately tried at 

 Portland, Maine, 13,500 damages were recovered. 



A loan of from 10 to 15 millions of francs has been 

 negotiated in Paris, for the Greek government. 



SUssingt o/ Royally. The funeral of th e late King 

 of France is said to have cost the nation fovr hundred 

 thousand dollars. \ sum sufficient to pay the salary of 

 •the President of the United States tot sisteen years. 



Brazil. — It appears by letters received in this cily, 

 from Pernambnco, thai the work of exterminaling the 

 opponents to the Brazilian imperial government goes 

 bravely on. Two of the patriots were hung about the 

 end ol January ; and because th ■ executioner refused 

 to perform the olllce on one of them, he was oulchered 

 on the spot by the troops of the Emperor. He was 

 twice fired at oy fourteen of these instruments of de- 

 spotism before life became extiect. Three other patri- 

 ots had received sentence of death, and the trials were 

 still going on. These sanguinary proceedings bad 

 thrown a gloom over the place without rendering the 

 imperial authorites more respected. — Ev. Post. 



Sail The editor of the Grecnsbiirg, Pa. Gazette, 



states that the quantity of salt now made at the Conc- 

 nianghand Kiskemnetas works, in VA'cstmoreland coun- 

 ty, in Ihis State, exceeds 1000 bushels daily, and that 

 in six months from this time the quantity man\i(actured 

 daily, will amount to 1500 bushels. These works are 

 on the route of the contemplated canal, and we learn 

 that the making of Salt might be carried to almost any 

 extent. U. S. Gae. 



A!'ew Mechanical Ponier. — A company is form- 

 ing in France, for the eslabiishnient of vessels 

 on the CRnals and rivers of that cniintrVi the 

 wheels or paddles of which are stated to be set 

 in motion hy powerful air pumps, the action of 

 which is ccriliniied by the aclion of the paddles. 

 Great secrecy has been observed as to this inven- 

 tion, hut the mode in which the machinery is first 

 set into aclion is said to be by a powerful wheel 

 almost without friction, which, although capable 

 of producing an impulse equal to a forty horse 

 power, is continued in motion by one person.
