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 exhibited 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 ARAB MAID.
A lonely Arab Maid
The desert's simple child,
Unskill'd in arts by which, 'tis said, Man's love may be beguiled.
Like some uprooted flow'r am I, Upon a river flung,
To float a little hour then die Unheeded as I sprung.
But if thy friendly hand Should lift me from the tide.
And bear me to some distant land, To bloom thy bosom's pride ; O, sooner from his darling rose
The nightingale shall roam,
Than I disturb that heart's repose
Which love hath made my home.
BOSTON.
Since we furnished a table of the Newspapers which have been, and still are, published in Boston, we have been gratified to observe the accurate tables in relation to the origin of pa- pers in other States. Such documents are highly satisfactory to all present readers, and age will continually in- Crease their value. In the young State of Ohio, there are sixty different papers, three of which are in the Ger- man language. From the Ohio State Journal & Columbus Gazette of May 18th, we learn the whole number of papers printed are supposed by the editor to be 75,000. Among the number there are four semi-weekly and one daily.

WARE.
Within three years, the town of Ware has wholly changed its appear- ance from a dull monotonous town of no apparent consequence to an opulent, thriving, ambitious place, which pre- sents a city in miniature. Every va- riety of business which characterize the most flourishing manufacturing towns in England, is carried on in Ware, with surprising success. The neatness and regularity of tho dwel-

ling houses,-their increasing number and the grandeur and richness of the factories, surprise and delight the stranger. Where the wild game of the forest were the only occupants. but a few years ago, the rich man rolls in his coach, and the fashionable cir- cles of polished society have a con- spicuous rank. Where huge trees were waving in the solitude of the woodland, an elegant banking house of beautiful proportions attracts the eye, and the spires of different edifices --- the crowd of industrious inhabitants going and returning from their labours, the constant influx and departure of travellers, -- the rattling of stages, and the plentiful supply of the necessaries and the luxuries of life, excite the amazement of every person who con- trasts the present condition of Ware in 1826, with Ware in 1820.
CINCINNATI.
The following article, from the Evening Gazette, relating to Cincinna- ti, dated May 10, is a birds-eye view of that flourishing city, and we believe it will be acceptable to our readers.
" We had green peas, cucumbers, new potatoes and other vegetables, for the first time this season on the 25th of April last .- The apple, peach, and other fruit trees were in full bloom about the 29th of March.
The city is the most delightful and pleasant place in the whole western country. It contains about 15000 in- habitants-a majority of which are Yankces, or from the New-England States. It is in general very healthy -the last winter we had our share of the prevailing influenza,and we are now infected with that loathsome disease, the small pox. Two cases have oc- curred, -- one death. It is thought that it will be limited to these two cases.
Doctor Holley, as you have proba- bly before learnt, has resigned the Presidency of Transylvania Universi- ty, he is to take a tour (with his fami- ly) through Europe, as tutor to some half dozen young gentlemen, of Lex- ington, who wish to make the tour, ac-
companied by Dr. Holley." He has many warm friends in Kentucky, and he has also many enemies. These latter class are among the most ortho- dox, who despise his liberal principles. His superior talents are respected by every one.
We have a fine market here, every thing cheap. Indian Corn can some- times be purchased for 12 cents per bushel-Oats, 10-Wheat, Rye, &c. 25 .--- Beef and Pork, 2 to 24 best --- Butter always about 8-Eggs 4 and 5 cents throughout the winter, and all but give them away in the summer- and all other produce in proportion.
We have a Medical College here which is in a very flourishing state. The last winter the first course of Lectures under the new organization was delivered by Professors Cobb, Whitman, Morehead and Slack, to a class of sixty three, and the degree of M. D. was this spring conferred on eighteen young gentlemen, from the following states-Ohio, Kentucky, In- diana, Illinois and Maine. The course of Lectures would have done honour to any Medical college in the U. States.
General Jackson has many friends here. Two newspapers are warmly devoted to him. Two are also for Adams and Clay, and there are two neutral-being six in all, some of which are issued semi-weekly, one weekly, and one daily. In addition to these, there is a Medical publica- tion issued semi-monthly-called the Ohio Medical Repository.
* Dr. H. receives §1500 from each of the young gentlemen that accompanies him.
In July last, the Pollux Dutch sloop of war, Captain Eeg, discovered a new and well peopled island in the Pacific, to which the name of Nederlandich Island was given. Its latitude and longitude laid down at 7 deg. 10 min. S. and 177 deg. 33 min. 16 sec. E. from Greenwich. The natives were athletic and fierce, great thieves, and from showing no symptoms of fear when muskets were discharged, evi- dently not unacquainted with fire-arms.

A funeral service was performed on Tuesday, May 23d, at Washington, for the benefit of the soul of the Baron de Tuyll, late minister from Russia to the United States, which was attended by the heads of Departments, and oth- er distinguished personages.
EPITAPH
ON A SQUIRREL, KILLED BY A DOG,
By Dr. Benjamin Franklin.
Alas ! poor Bun ! Happy wast thou, hadst thou known thy own felicity ! Remote from the bold Eagle,
Tyrant of thy native woods,
Thou hadst nought to fear
From his piercing talons,
Nor from the blundering gun of the Thoughtless Sportsman.
Safe in thy wired castle,
Grimalkin never could annoy thee.
Daily wast thou fed with choicest viands,
By the fair hands of an indulgent mistress ; But, discontented,
Thou wouldst have more liberty.
Too soon, alas! didst thou obtain it ; And wandering, fell
By the merciless fangs of wanton, cruel Ranger, Learn hence, ye
Who blindly seek more liberty,
Whether subjects, sons, squirrels, or Daughters, That apparent restraint
Is real liberty, Yielding peace and plenty with security.
Extracts from London Papers.
Parisian reports which have been made to the French Academy of Medicine, it appears that the number of marriages and the num- ber of legitimate births are fewer in the rich quarters of Paris than in the poor, and that, on the contrary, the rich quarters furnish a greater number of illegitimate births than the poor, and that it is much more rare to see illegitimate offspring acknowledged by their fathers in the former than in the latter. It appears also, that of the children still-born in Paris, the number of boys greatly exceeds that of girls ; and that the number of both sexes still-born is much greater in private houses than in the hospitals. Some deduction, however, ought to be made
from the last statement, in consequence . of its being the custom of the civil offi- cers to record, as still-born, all children who die before the declaration of their birth has been made ; that is to say, almost all who die within the first two days.
Vaccination .- A French writer, in combating some observations hostile to vaccination, which have been lately published by M. D'Auvin, of Liege, says, ' The experience in France of five-and-twenty years proves that Dr. Jenner's admirable discovery is an ax- iom in medicine. When I was in Franche-comté, I ascertained that vaccination, under the popular name of " the small-pox of cows," had been known from time immemorial among the country-people.'
Mr Goldie, editor of the Paisley Advertiser newspaper, died very sud- denly at that town a short time since, in consequence of the rupture of a blood-vessel. He was only in his twenty-eighth year ; and about four years since published a volume of po- etry, of considerable merit. He was also editor of a neat collection, in two volumes, entitled ' The Spirit of Brit- ish Song.'
The man with the Iron Mask .- The question, who this mysterious person- age was ? has lately been revived in France. It is now confidently assert- ed, on the one hand, that it was count Matthioli, secretary of state to the duke of Mantua ; and that the cause of his imprisonment was his having sold to Spain the secret of a negociation between his master and Louis XIV, for the surrender to the latter of the fortress of Casal, the capi- tal of Montferrat. On the other hand it is as stoutly maintained, that the pris- oner was Arwedika, patriarch of the schismatic Armenians at Constantino- ple, the mortal enemy of the Catho- lics, and the cruel persecutor of the Catholic Armenians, who was secretly arrested an conveyed to France, in consequence of the intrigues of the Jes- uits. Neither of these suppositions, however, seem to have been satisfacto- rily proved,

In Newcastle, on Sunday, May 21st, Hon. Nicholas Vandyke, after a lingering illness, which he endured with philosophy and a resigned spirit. He had been many years in public life, and no man ever entered it who bore throughout a more enviable char- acter for high honor and integrity, illustra-
ted by the most amiable and prepossessing manners. In all the bitterest of party times -- embargo, war, and all -- there was not, amongst all his political opponents, an in- dividual who had an unkind feeling to- wards him, though the influence of his tal- ent and character was felt whenever he mingled in debate, which he did not unfre- quently. He was the friend and associate of Bayard, (of itself high praise,) and his politics were of the same cast as his.

SONG.
Sung by Miss Payton.
Cloudless o'er the blushing water, Now the setting sun is burning, Like a victor red with slaughter, To his tent in triumph turning ! Ah ! perchance these eyes may never Look upon his light again !
Fare thee well ! bright orb, forever ! Thou for me wilt rise in vain !
But what gleams so white and fair, Heaving with the heaving billow ?
"Tis a sea-bird wheeling there, O'er some wretch's wat'ry pillow !
No! it is no bird I mark ! Joy ! It is a boat-a sail ! And yonder rides a gallant bark, Uninjur'd by the gale!
O transport ! my Huon ! baste down to the shore ; Quick -- quick ! for a signal this scarf shall be wav'd !
They see me !- they answer !- they ply the strong oar !
My husband !- my love !-- we are sav'd !- we are say'd !
Dr. Jerome V. C. Smith, who has recently resigned the Professorship of Anatomy and Physiology, in the Berk- shire Medical Institution, was, on Wednesday last, elected by the Board of Aldermen and Common Council, Resident Quarantine Physician for the Port of Boston.
The U. S. Literary Gazette, in this city, and the New York Review, have been united, and will henceforth be
published as one work. Mr Bryant, (the poet) becomes a joint editor. The form of the Literary Gazette will be preserved. Much may be expect- ed from the publication under its new conductors.
CHURCH'S PRINTING PRESS.
From Mr Carter's Letters, No. 65, published in the New York Statesman, dated Nov. 27, 1825.
"On the following morning, our tour of observation at Birmingham was resumed by calling, in company with four Yankees, on Dr. Church, of Bos- ton, for the purpose of examining this celebrated printing machine. He po- litely invited us into his study, the ta- bles and shelves of which were loaded with diagrams and scientific publica- tions. In a few minutes we were invi- ted to accompany him to the building where his invention is ' in the full tide of successful experiment.' After sev- eral years of successful study and la- bour, he has fully succeeded in his plans, the practical utility of which is reduced to demonstration. Mr Per- kins, of London, remarked to me, that it is the most perfect machine he has ever seen ; and few men have had a wider experience in mechanics, or are bettter qualified to judge.
Dr. Church at first put his press in operation, and directed perhaps a hun- dred sheets to be struck off for our ex- amination. He then took the whole to pieces, and particularly explained the various parts. Its motions approach-

ed nearer to those of an intelligent be- ing, than I should think it possible any combination of inert matter could pro- duce. It reaches out its iron hand, grasps the edge of the sheet, draws it under the form where it receives the impression, returns it to the top of the machine, and there deposits it in reg- ular files. All this is done in an in- stant, without the least noise or confu- sion. Between two and three thou- sand sheets are struck off in an hour, the paper being drawn alternately from each side, and the form being almost constantly employed in producing an impression. It feeds itself with ink by means of rollers communicating with a trough. Three persons are re- quired to work it-one to turn the crank, and the other two to supply the paper.
The typography is beautiful, being uniform in complexion, and free from blurs. I examined numerous speci- mens, taking the sheets indiscriminate- ly from reams of the ordinary work upon which the men were employed. It is designed rather for printing books than newspapers. The price of a press is 1000/. Many applications have already been made from Lon- don, and one of them is about to be established in New York. Dr. Church is a silent, modest man, who makes no comments on the merits of his own in- vention, but merely exhibits the result, and leaves others to judge. He is now engaged in completing his new method of setting types, which is to be effected by melting and recasting the metal at every impression. He re- marked that his greatest difficulty was to prevent the loss of material by fre- quent fusion ; but this he has obviated by a chemical process which prevents the formation of dross. He is on the whole a very clever man, possessing much scientific research and mechanic- al skill, united with inventive genius and natural acumen."
The City of Cusco has lately pre- sented to Bolivar a golden garland, or- namented with pearls and diamonds, as a testimony of gratitude for having
preserved and freed the country, which the Liberator, with his usual characteristic nobleness, sent to Gene- ral Sucre, by whom the victory over the Spaniards was obtained. General Sucre, however, has presented it to the national legislature of Colombia, in the name of himself and his army. The Senate and Representatives have accepted the present, and have deter- mined, in order to preserve this memo- rial of the valour of the Colombian ar- my, which has given independence to Peru, to deposit it in the National Museum.

AND CITY RECORD, JUNE 17, 1826.
MARGINAL STREET.
The following particulars respecting this street, are given in resolutions passed in the City Council, June 6.
The first resolution appropriated $20,000 towards making a Marginal street, or public highway to run from the City wharf at the easterly end of the new Market house to Lewis's wharf, and thence . to communicate with Ann street by a street 40 feet wide, according to a plan taken by S. P. Fuller ; provided that the pro- prietors of estates over which the same shall run, shall cause to be made a good and substantial street not less than 65 feet wide, to be faced on the south-easterly side by a strong and permanent sea wall ; and shall con- struct a substantial bridge across the Mill Creek, to connect the Marginal street with the City wharf ; all which to be completed to the satisfaction of the surveyors of highways. In the second resolution the city agreed to open a street 40 feet wide to run par- allel with North Market street, from the old Roe Buck passage to the Mill Creek, whenever the proprietors shall cause a street to be made at their own expense, not less than 50 feet wide, according to the projection of a street called Second street, in the plan above referred to, and shall cause the same to be completed to the satisfaction of the surveyors of highways, or give sat- isfactory security for doing the same within one year from this date. The third resolution required the proprie- tors, and claimants of water rights in the Cove between Long wharf and Lewis's wharf, in laying out and estab- lishing a Dock over the flats of said Cove, lying north of the T wharf and east of Marginal street, and running the southerly line of said Dock to form a continuation easterly of the northerly line of North Market street to the distance of 465 feet from the easterly end of the stores on said street, then turning and running southerly on a line with the capsule of the City wharf, 80 feet ; then turning and run- ning easterly to the southerly side of
the Old Gap, where the northerly line of the T intersects the old Barricado, and extending to the harbor channel ; the northerly line of the Dock running parallel with the last described south- erly line, at the distance of 215 feet from the castern edge of Marginal street to the channel ; with the privi- lege to the proprietors and the city of running out into said Dock from the present City wharf and Marginal street, a Marginal wharf not exceeding 40 feet in width, as may be mutually agreed upon hereafter by the parties ; all of said Marginal wharf north of the northerly line of the Mill Creek to be the property of the proprietors, and all south, to be the property of the City.
An amendment, offered by Mr Lodge, providing expressly that a bridge should be built across the Mill Creek, where it is intersected by Sec- ond street, was adopted. Several other amendments, to give to the city alone the right to run out a Marginal street, to alter the course of the Dock, to have the street paved, to widen Cross street, to lessen the amount of money, &c. were rejected. The final question being taken by yeas and nays, there appeared, yeas, 20 ; nays, 15. Cour.
Reminiscence .- In the week ending June 10th, 1775, when Boston was besieged, green peas were in high perfection in Roxbury, &c. and in such plenty that whole panniers full were carried home by the growers for want of purchasers, although the price was then only five shillings, old tenor, (ten cents, or as then called, half a pis- tareen) the peck. The present week, corresponding with that of 1775, the abundance of Peas has been as great as on that year, and, it is believed for the first time since ; and the price from 25 to 373 cents the peck. All vegetables at that time were trans- ported in panniers .-- Cent.

Åt New Haven, Rev Jedidiah Morse, D.D. L.L.D. aged 65. Dr. Morse, from his earliest years, possessed a feeble constitu- tion; yet with careful attention to his hab- its of life, he enjoyed a comfortable degree of health, and was enabled to sustain an uncommon share of mental effort.
