By the above table, it will be seen, that when a sale is effected at Philadelphia at 166 2-3 advance, it is equal to selling goods in N. York at 60 per cent sterling : or receiving 160l sterling at par, for every 1001 (nett, without charge ) the British invoice amounts to.
To bring sterling into dollars and cents at par, multiply the pounds by 40, and divide by 9; dollars and cents to sterling, multiply by 9 and divide by 40.

I enclose you " a treatise, on drunkenness" printed in large type, soliciting the favour of you to give it an insertion. This vice is slaying many thousandts in our country ; its approaches are so insidious, that we frequently behold persons undermined, before they have dreamed of being attacked. A good man may be seen admonishing his friend for drinking too freely, yet at the sant time, he hesitates not to join him in one glass of grog : for the H 1-2

NATURAL CURIOSITY. From the Amer can Telegraph.
We have been favoured with the following de cription of Laurel Hill Cave which is much the most extensive cavern vet discovered in Pennsylvania, by Mr. John A. Paxton, of Philadelphia, a gentleman who is collecting materials for a new Guzateer of the United States.
LAUREL HILL CAVE.
Sin .- I was detained from proceeding on my journey by the lame- ness of my horse, in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, the seat of justice of Fayette county, and having heard of a large cave in the neighbourhood, which had never been thoroughly explored, my curiosity was raised, and I determined to penetrate it fully. I made my wish known, and immediately the following gentlemen of Uniontown, agreed to accom- pany me, namely, Wm. Gregg, John Owings, James M. Johnson, John Gallagher, and Ephraim Douglass. We entered into a determination not to turn back, whlist one of the party was willing to proceed in the examination. We provided ourselves with refreshments, candles, tinderbox, matches, lantern, compass, chalk, and a line to measure with; we'set out on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 1816, ascended the Laurel Hill Mountain, and left our horses at the farm of Mr. Delany, on the top, within half a mile of the cave, and requested him if we did not come out early next morning to have the country apprized of our sit- uation as we had heard that two young men, to wit, Crain and Merri- field, were lost in the cave for nearly two days, having burnt outall their candles ; and when found by the farmers were lying in each other's arms, resigned, as they thought, to their premature and deplorable fate. After making all necessary preparations we started for the mouth of the cave ; but before I enter into a detail of our discove- ries I will point out its situation.
XcIx
PHILADELPHIA DIRECTORY.
Lauret Hill Cave, which I have taken the liberty to name, it being in want of one, is situated in Pennsylvania, Fayette county, George township, on the top of Laurel Hill Mountain ; nine miles south eas- terly of Uniontown, three miles easterly of Fairfield furnace, and halt' a mile northeasterly of Dalany's farm house. At 4 o'clock P. M. we commenced our operations ; we first descended into a small pit, on the side of which we found the mouth, about 3 feet by 4, which we entered and immediately found ourselves in a passage about 20 feet wide, and descending about 50 degrees, for 40 feet in a N. W. course when we found a less declivity and a smoother floor ; here we left our great coats and things we had no immediate use for and pro- ceeded, in the same course, a short distance when we found that the passage forked into two avenues more contracted, both leading, by a considerable descent into the first room ; this is about 24 feet diame- ter, with a roof of rock about 20 feet high-a large descending pas- sage leads from this room, the same course with a very considerable ruof, and is about 12 feet wide for some distance, when it becomes more contracted and leads into the second room, which is 50 feet by 100, with a large body of rocks on the Roor 'that have fallen from the roof, which is not very high : at the end of the passage is a running spring of excellent water. In this room the person who had the tin. derbox, unfortunately let it fall among the rocks, which opened it, and by this accident we lost nearly all our tinder. A very narrow, uneven and descending passage leads from the second room, in a northeast direction, to the Narrows, a passage two and a half feet high, and about fifty feet broad, leading, horizontally, between rocks with a small descent for about one hundred and fifty feet to a perpen- dicular descent over rocks ; through this small passage we had, in many places to drag ourselves along on our bellies and the buttons of my coat were forn off by the rocks above ; this passage evidently Was furnied by the foundation of the nether rock being washed by the veins of water beneath, which caused it to separate from the upper rock, and formed the route to the perpendicular descent ; which we found to be twenty two feet ; I descended by a rope, but my com- panions found their way down by clinging to the rocks, we now found ourselves in a very uneven, rocky pas-age which ascended about 20 legrees for 234 feet, but as we could not find an outlet from this fier the most particular search, we returned and ascended the per- pendicular precipice, and to the right of it discovered a passage which had a great descent, was very rocky, uneven and so contracted or about eighty feet, that it was with the greatest difficulty we made our way through it; this led to a second perpendicular descent, of hirty feet, over rocks which we with great difficulty got down : we tow found ourselves in a large avenue or Little Mill Stream Hall (as called it) with a very high roof and about 25 feet wide: it had a andy floor with a stream of water running through it sufficiently ra- id and large to turn a grist null : on the sides of this stream were ome large rocks which had fallen from the roof ;- this avenue is bout 600 feet in length, with considerable descent to where the wa- er looses itself through a small aperture in the rocks.
On returning from the bottom of the avenue we discovered a pas- age leading horrizontally and at right angles from the right side of his avenue, the entrance of which is elevated about eight feet above he floor, we found this a very pleasant passage in comparison to he rest. The roof, the sides and floor, were quite smooth, and we ould walk upright ; it is 120 feet long and leads into the last and argest avenue, or Great Mill Stream Hall ; this we found to be very
PAXTON'S
spacious, being about 20 to 30 feet wide, from 30 to 80 feet from the floor to the roof, and 1200 feet in length, with a stream sufficient to turn a grist mill running its whole length : from the source of the streani where there is a considerable collection of white spar formed by the constant dripping of Water, the avenue has a descent of about 30 degrees to where the stream disembogues itself through a small aperture in the rocks : before we arrived at this aperture the avenue became so contracted that Mr. Gregg and myself had to creep on our hands and knees through the water for about 50 feet; here in the sand we found the name of " Crain" written, which we consider- ed a mortifying discovery, as we thought we were the first persons who had penetrated so far in this direction : we wrote our names like- wise in the sand, and then joined the rest of the party. In our search through this great avenue we had to climb over or creep under a thousand craggy rocks that lay scattered on the floor, and which had fallen from the sides and ceiling. I have every reason to believe that no person except us, ever visited the source of the stream and head of the avenue, as we found no sign of human invention within many hundrel f-et of the spot, and which was very common in every other part of the cave, as the sides of every place that had been previously visited were covered with names and marks made with coal ; and if any person had penetrated this far, they would certainly have left some token of their perseverance. We now found ourselves at the end of our exploring expedition, and, as we had plenty of can- dłes left, and had taken the precaution to mark with chalk an arrow on the rocks at every turn, we were confident of being able to retrace our steps to the entrance. Returning we measured with a line, the extreme distance we had been in, and found it to be 3600 feet, but we must have travelled altogether upwards of two miles. Ourreturn we found much more tiresome, as it was an ascending route nearly the whole distance. We arrived in safety at the mouth, at 10 o'clock. after having travelled incessantly for six hours. We were about 1600 feet, perpendicularly, below the entrance. " We heard the water run. ning beneath the rocks in every part of the cave. The temperature we found agreeable, but owing to our great exertions, we were kept in a profuse perspiration during the whole time we were in. In dif ferent paris, we saw a few bats, but a gentleman of Uniontown, win had gone into the cave during the winter season, informed me that the roof of the two first rooms were covered with millions of bats, hang ing in large bunches, in a torpid state and clinging to each other This cave is composed of soft sand stone rocks and has every appear ance of having been formed by the veins of water washing them an their foundations away, which caused them by their weight, to sepa rate from the standing rocks above; there is not the smallest doub in my mind, bat this cave is considerably enlarged by the friction o the water, each year, for all the rocks on the Hoors of the differen appartments would exactly fit the parts of the ceiling immediately above thein. The rocks that now form this cave will certainly fall b degrees, as their foundations are washed away ; therefore it is in possible toform an idea of the very great spaciousness that it mia arrive to. The knowledge that the rocks above are subject to fall calculated to create the most inexpressible horror in the minds of pri sons who visit this subterraneous wonder. The arches of all th avenues are formed by the rocks meeting in the middle of the roof with a crack extending in each the whole length.
Yours, with esteem,
JOHN A. PAXTON.
