Law Intelligence. — A suit was tried last week 

 at New-Hiven, before the Circuit Court of the 

 United States, in which Grant and Townsend ob- 

 tained a Tcrdict against Harrington and Brundage, 

 of $350, single damages, which the Court by law 

 are bound to set threefold, making $10.')0 damages 

 and costs, for the violation of a patent for a ma- 

 chine to make Hat bodies. The Coutt also grant- 

 ed absolute and perpetual injunctions against the 

 defendants in all the cases, prohibiting, under pain 

 of imprisonment, all further violations of the plaint-

ffater-proof Glue. — A correspondent of the 

 Eastern Argus claims to have discovered a new 

 method of making glue water proof. His method 

 is to immerse the common glue in water till it be- 

 comes soft, and then dissolve it in raw linseed oil, 

 with a gentle heat. He says it has all the proper- 

 ties of the common preparation, and is moreover 

 completely impervious to water. 



A foreigner was lately boasting on board a 

 Steam Boat, that he had been 7000 miles in that 

 mode of conveyance. An American gentleman 

 present observed that he had been above 500,000!

 true ; the individual was Capt. Jenkins, who had 

 been for sixteen years engaged in a steam boat 

 on the Hudson, at the rate of 3.3,300 miles a year.

 narv, it is slated that on a trial of the opium sent from New 

 Sniilh Wales to Canton, it was found to be equal to the famous

 While the Medway, Capt Wight was in Bahia, refreshing, on 

 ;icr voyage lo New South Wales, a small schooner came in 

 (roin the coast of Africa, with 400 slaves. It appeared that she 

 had originally taken on board 600 in all, male and fijniale, bill 

 being chased by a ship of war, to prevent capture and to lighten 

 the vessel, the captain had thrown 200 of them overboard !!" 



The nighi of the 6th April and the following 

 morning, were colder at Pensacolathan any Ihat had been ex- 



i>erienc''d t!ie past winter. Ice was formed thicker than a dol- 

 ar, and the gardens in the city and its vicinity, together with 

 most of the fruit, were entirely destroyed.

Landreth's JSTurseries — JVear Philadelphia. 



From the patronage already extended this Establishment, by 

 the citizens of Boston and its vicinity, the Proprietors are again 

 induced lo advertise to them their Nurseries, as oiTering pecu- 

 liar facilities for the acquirements of useful & ornamental vege- 

 table productions. The collection now cultivated by them, con- 

 slsls of an immense variety of Fruit and Hardy Ornamental 

 Trees and Shrubs — Green-house Plants — Bulbous Roots, and 

 Garden Seeds. The assortment of Fruits is not surpassed in 

 real value by any in this country. It embraces most of the cel- 

 ebrated kinds of Europe, with all the esteemed varieties which 

 have originated on this continent. The utmost care has been 

 observed in making the selection, and the whole is now ofi'ered 

 as containing none but those most worthy of cultivation. Per- 

 sons not acquainted with the dilTerent varieties by name, and 

 desirous lo procure choice kinds, by merely stating the time 

 they wish ihein to ripen, may confidently refer the rest lo the 

 proprietors, without a fear of disappointment. 



The Ornamental department is rich in native and exotic 

 Plants — it contains a splendid collection of Green house Plants, 

 most ol which are calculated for adorning in the winter seasons, 

 parlours, sitting rooms, &.C. with an assortment of Hardy Flow- 

 ering Shrubs, and acquisitions are continually making. 



In the portion of ground allotted to Garden Seeds are grown 

 almost every variety of Esculent Vegetables for seeding. The 

 method pursued by the Proprietors in this branch, certainly 

 must obtain for them a preference withs all who will consider the 

 subject in the slightest degree. The peparation of those kinds 

 liable to mix in seeding— in short, the whole process of cultiva- 

 tion, in gathering, &c. all being under their own personal .sup- 

 erintendence undoubtedly conspires in an eminent degree, to 

 obviate the errors and impositions, unavoidable in a o'epend- 

 ence on foreign importations, or on careless or inexperienced 



f rowers at home. Orders received by Parker & Codmau, Ne 

 1 Congress St. Boston, of whom priced catalogues of the whole 

 may be had gratis. Persons ordering, may be assured of bav- 

 in"' every article well and safely packed and forwarded.
