STEREOTYPE.


M. Senelfelder, of Munich, the in- ventor of lithography, has just con- ceived a new kind of stereotype, the principles of which are as follows :-- he covers a sheet of common printing paper with a coat of stony earth, half a line in thickness, which has imbibed a sufficient quantity of water. At the end of half an hour, it having taken the consistence of a paste, he lays it on the types and characters composed in the usual way, but not inked, and an impression is produced in the paste. The sheet is then dried, and melted metal being poured over it, the charac- ters are all found in relief on a thin plate of metal, and as exactly formed as the original types. Proofs from these stereotyped characters differ in no respect from proofs from moveable characters. M. Senefelder offers to disclose the details of this invention to thirty subscribers of a hundred florins each. The expense of the necessary apparatus for the casting he estimates at one hundred florins, and that of the paper, coated with the stony paste, at six kreutzers the sheet.

Boston, Jane 13, 1726 .- The Rat- ification of Peace with the Indians, at the Eastward, for which His Honor the Lieut. Governor had appointed the 20 Instant, upon further advice from thence, His Honour has deferr'd the same to the 15th of July next, when His Honour, (attended with sev- eral of our principal gentlemen) de- signs to meet several Tribes at Casco, for that End.


Dorchester, June 6 .- This Day we have the affecting News of that on. March 13 last, Died of the Small Pox at London, Mr Nathaniel Glover of this Place, in the 49th year of his age. He was Great Grandson of the Hon- ourable John Glover, Esq. one of the 1st Proprietors of Dorchester ; one of the 1st Planters of Massachusetts. and one of the Magistrates or Assistants of the Colony chosen in 1652. This descendant of his, of late, fellinto an unhappy Controversy with a great Part of the Inhabitants of the town, about the undivided Lands ; and in April last year, went over an Agent to the Aboriginal Proprietors, to the Court of Great Britain, where he died, just as he was expecting an Audience of his Cause, before the King in Coun- cil. Till this unhappy Contest began, he was greatly and Universally res- pected and valued in the Town : and his Adversaries will yet generally own that he was a Gentleman of a sober Life, strong natural Powers, great Pen- etration, and a Kind and Obliging Neighbour ; and of such admirable Command of Temper, that no words or Abuse of His Enemies would either disturb Him in His Public Arguments, or move Him to Reflect upon them. Hle has left a virtuous and a most Sor- rowful Widow and 6 young Children. May God be a Father of the Father- less and a Judge of the Widow in his Holy Habitation Psal 68. 5.


Charles Blechynden, Esq Collector of Salem, Died in England about the Middle of March last.

GEORGE B. HOLMES respectfully in- forms his customers and the public, that he has removed from Court street to Howard street, next door to Holland's Coffee House, for the convenience of more ample rooms. If clean cloths, a fountain of pure water, and keen set razors, are desiderata, this warm weather, they may be found at his saloon. He has long considered himself a physiognomical Hair Cutter, suiting the contour of the face by his disposition of this important feature, the hair. He professes to understand all styles of cutting oxhibited on the medallions of every age and nation, but prefers to follow no one with servility, but rather to be guided by taste, science and skill in each individual case. Come, and let him try.

THE SOULS OF THE JUST.


Souls of the just ! whose truth and love, Like light and warmth, once liv'd below, Where have ye ta'en your flight above, Leaving life's vale in wintry woe ? God hath withdrawn you near his throne, Centre and source of brightness all, As o'er yon hills the ev'ning sun Recalls his beams when shadows fall.


But there are wistful eyes that find A loss in ev'ry parting ray ; And there are exiled souls behind That long with you to fly away. Oh ! happy hour, when ev'ry germ Of captive spirit shall be free, And shine with you, all bright and warm, Around one glorious Deity !


Extracts from London Papers.


LITERARY NOVELTIES.


Sir Walter Scott's Life of Dryden is among the last translations into French. Moore's life of Sheridan is announced.


A complete edition of Chateaubri- and's Works, in 25 vols. including much new matter, is talked of in Paris. It is said that the publishers have paid above a thousand pounds for cach volume.


A manuscript has, it is stated, been recently found in the castle of Péguet, Canton de Vaud, which contains a particular and consequently interest- ing account of the wars between the


Swiss and Savoyards, and the cam- paigns of Henry IV of Savoy.


A German account of the works of the brothers Van Eyck has been trans- lated by M. de Bast, the secretary of the Society of Fine Arts at Ghent, and published, with notes. It relates principally to their master piece (from the apocalypse) in the cathedral church of St. Bavon in Ghent. Seve- ral years ago parts of this great work were surreptitiously carried off. Some of the pannels were sold, in the first instance, for 6,000 francs, then for 100,000, and eventually to the king of Prussia for 410,900.


An extremely absurd, if not malic- ious report, has got into the newspa- pers, that, through the misfortunes of her publishers, L. E. L. has lost the greater part of the value of her works : we are authorised by the young lady who has diffidently chosen to write under these initials, to say that there is no foundation for this rumour ;- she received every shilling of a large sum most honourably and punctually from her booksellers.


The works of Dr. J. Owen have been completed in 21 vols. Svo.


It may be recollected by our read- ers that the late Mr Sharp commenced a line engraving of Dr. Edward Jen- ner, from a painting by Mr Hobday, as a companion to his celebrated por- trait of Dr. Jolin Hunter. After Mr Sharp's decease, this plate was placed in the hands of Mr Shelton, by whom it has been completed, and impressions

from it are, we believe, ready for de- livery. Mr Ackermann has also in readiness for publication a portrait of Sir Humphrey Davy, engraved by Worthington, in the line manner, from a painting by Lonsdale.


There is about to be published, in one volume Svo. the Narrative of a Tour through Hawaii, or Owhyhee ; with an account of the geology, natu- ral scenery, productions, volcanoes, &c. &c. ; history, superstitions, tradi- tions, manners, and customs of the in- habitants of the Sandwich Islands ; a grammatical view of their language, with specimens ; the account given of the death of Capt. Cook by the na- tives ; and biographical notices of the late King and Queen, who died in London. By W. Elllis, missionary from the Society and Sandwich Isl- ands.


M. Canel, bookseller of Paris, has announced his intention of publishing a collection of engravings from the full-length portraits of celebrated per- sonages of the present time, painted by Gerard, first painter to the King of France, who will himself, it is stated, superintend the execution of the plates. The size is eight inches by five ; and the work will consist of not more than fourteen, nor fewer than twelve parts, 4to, each containing six portraits.


About twelve months ago an exper- iment was tried by a tradesman's son in Alloa, of immuring a toad in a small flower-pot, sunk deep in a gar- den, to ascertain the fact of that ani- mal's living without food. At that time he had been a prisoner for two years, and was again shut up in his dreary abode. A few days ago, the light of day was allowed to illume his darksome cell, when the contented in- mate hopped out with as much careless indifference as if he only had retreated there for an evening's repose. The prisoner was recommitted for farther trial.


French Puns .- When the French cannot prevent any thing they dislike, they try to be witty on it.


At the period of the conspiracies at Paris, the Carbonari pretended they


were encouraged by the inscriptions on the houses, which excited them to patriotism. One fire-office has on its plate the letters M.A. C. L., Maison Assurée Contre L'incendie (house as- sured against fire.) The rebels read it, Mes Amis, Chassons Louis (my friends, let us banish Louis.)


When the present royalist ministry came into power, the liberals said the ministry was ' une piece de six blancs, qui ne vaut pas deux sous.' Six blancs is an imaginary coin, of the value of two sous and a half ; so they said the ministry was a six blanc piece, that was not worth two sous.


Forgery in France .- Forgery has become so alarmingly prevalent in France, in consequence of the facility which the chemical discoveries of late years have given to its commission, that the Minister of Justice at Paris has been induced to request the French Academy to devise some plan for the prevention of the crime. The forgers first discharge from notes or drafts ev- ery thing but the stamp and signature, then, by an easy process, restore the paper to its original consistence and colour ; and afterwards insert what they please, and circulate the falsified documents." Attempts are making to counteract this evil by one of two means-either by the invention of an ink capable of resisting every chemical agent, or by adding, in the manufac- ture of the paper, some ingredient which the process employed by the forgers may indelibly colour.


Surgery .- In the scientific part of the first number of a medical journal published at Delft, called ‘ Geneeskun- dige Bydragen,' it is said that M. Van Haan, a surgeon at Rotterdam, lately effected the ligature of the iliac artery in the pelvis, in a case of aneurism ; and that the operation succeeded so well, that the patient completely re- covered in the course of a few weeks. We have heard that Sir Astley Coop- er performed the same operation sev- eral years ago : Mr Wardrope, we know, succeeded in taking up the car- rotoid artery in a lady of seventy years of age.

AND CITY RECORD, JUNE 3, 1826.


Suicides .- Dr. Christian Stockman, for many years a resident of Albany, and late of Utica, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a horseman's pistol, which. was loaded with duck shot, on board the steam-boat Sun, on her passage from New-York to Albany, about twenty miles below the city, between the hours of five and six o'clock on the 19th inst. He accomplished the rash act by discharging the pistol through his right ear, while seated upon a settee in the forward cabin, in the presence of a number of passengers, who were wholly unapprised of his intention. The cause is wholly unexplained, but is probably owing to pecuniary em- barrassments. There was nothing in the conduct of the deceased, while on board, that indicated a derangement of mind. He was about 60 years of age, and has left a numerous family to deplore his loss.


Capt. Nathaniel Winchell, of Rut- land, put a period to his existence on Tuesday last, by hanging himself in his barn, in the middle of the day. He was only absent about an hour, when he was found suspended by a rope, fastened to a rafter, over the great beam, a lifeless corpse. A jury of in- quest was of opinion, and such in sub- stance was their verdict, that he hung himself in a state of derangement of mind. Mr Winchell was a respecta- ble citizen, and no one could account for the act only from derangement. He had exhibited some symptoms of irregularity several weeks before, which gave some uneasiness to the family. He had said to his wife that he thought she could do better with- out than with him, often took down his gun and went out with it under sus- picious circumstances. He was about 45 years of age.


OBITUARY.


Another hero of the Revolution gone! on the 14th iost. at his seat in Mophour's Island, Major ISAAC CRAIG, formerly a Field Officer of the Pennsylvania Line, in the Revolutionary army. Major Craig was born near Hillsborough, in the county of Down, in the kingdom of Ireland, in Au-


gust 1742. He emigrated to Philadelphia in 1768, where he pursued the occupation of a carpenter until 1775. It was then, that, stimulated by the oppressive conduct of Britain, towards his adopted country, he enrolled himself under the banners of strug- gling freedom, and devoted his courage and genius to the service of America. From the council of safety of Pennsylvania, he received the appointment of a Lieutenant of Marines, and aided in the capture of sev- eral vessels laden with ammunition and mil- itary stores, thereby rendering an impor- tant service to the interest of the country for whose armics such stores were then in great demand. In the winter of 1775-6, he held the commission of Capt. of Ma- rines on board the Andrew Doria, then com- manded by the gallant and arduous Capt. Nicholas Biddle .- This vessel formed part of a squadron which, under the command of Commodore Hopkins, iu March 1776, took possession of the Island of New Prov- idence, where the American force seized and brought away a large quantity of mili- tary stores, artillery, &c. Here ended his connexion with the navy. Another scene was now presented to him, and one better adapted to his peculiar talent. In Decem- ber 1776, Mr Craig was appointed a Capt. in the Regiment of Artillery under the com- mand of Col. Thomas Proctor. This was the most gloomy period of the war ; but it was his good fortune to be an actor in that scene, which gave a new coloring to our revolutionary prospects. We allude to the capture of the Hessian troops at Trenton. Capt. Craig bore a distinguished part at the battle of Princeton ; and on the fields of Germantown and Brandywine, performed his duty with unabated vigour and courage.


The celebrated George Rogers Clark, a name so untimely connected with the early history of western adventure and valour, having planned an expedition against Detroit, Capt. Craig, in 1750, descended the Ohio river and joined him, having under his command two companies of artillery. The expedition failed of execution, on ac- count of some disappointment not now rec- ollected, and Capt. Craig returned with his command to Fort Pitt. In March, 1782, his active services were rewarded with the commission of Major in Proctor's Artillery Regiment, which was conferred upon him by Congress, and which gave him rank from the 7th of October, 1781.


With the Revolutionary war closed the military career of Major Craig. He marri- ed in 1785, and became permanently resi- dent in Pittsburgh. An attempt was made in 1793-4, to draw him into public life by on offer of the station of Quarter Master General to Wayne's Army. This offer he declined, choosing to enjoy that freedom he had aided in acquiring, in retirement and domestic felicity. As he was one of the earliest settlers, so he was one of the most useful and intelligent of our citizens,

DIED,


In this city, on Wednesday, May 22, Mrs SARAH BOWDOIN DEARBORN, aged 64. Her life was in many respects remarkable, she twice visited Europe as the wife of two Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Pleni- potentiary of the United States, her surviv- ing husband the venerable Gen. Dearborn, and her late husband James Bowdoin, esq. She resided successively in Spain, France, England and Portugal, and it is but to ex- press a sincere and deliberate conviction, to say that she never found nor left an ene- my in any country. It is believed that no person ever devoted so many hours to the cherishing of old and early friendships as this inestimable lady, and it is also believ- ed that she wrote more letters to her friends, whether we consider their number or their length, than any person living or perhaps


that ever did live, and these letters were not valuable only for the pure offerings of a faithful and feeling heart ; but they con- tained also the most minute, exact, and un- sophisticated descriptions of all that she saw, who saw so much.
