Peale's Museum* HAS Lately received a number of article;; !m ng which are the following ; That remarkable bird called the Cut-water, or fcif ars-bill; The Avofette, commonly called the Shoe-maker, because of its bill resembling a crooked awl—The Long-leg.*, commonly call eJ the Black-bet, having perhaps the longed legs, in proportion to the fire of the bird, of any of i he feathered tribe—The Storm-finch, coromoo- W failed mother Cary's chicken—The Sea fwallow, and various Gulh ; betides a variety ol Cranes, Curlews, Snipes, See. The scull of a Whale and one of its Vertebres. An Indian hatchct made of chiyßal : It is curious that those uninformed wild people, hav ing very little knowledge of the arts, and being ignorant even of the existence of iron and steel, ftiould be able to form such hard fubftan«es in to fanciful forms as this, and othir Indian ma nufactures now in the Museum. A lignified Quince : The specimen (hews what a rcmaikable effect a dry warm (ituation has on fruit. It is now about 8 years Gnce it was gathered ; and 1 1 was a real quince, now be come wood, at lead in appearance. Presented by Mrs. Manfon of Charleftown, S. C.—a tool used by the O'.aheitans in making their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this instrument of wood, it produces the ribs which resemble threads : the perfc&ly straight and equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by men without the use of iron,are curious & won derful. Also, a rope made of grass, part of> the rigg ing of a vessel of Kamfkatka. Presented by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib in spirits : when this fifh was found, a number of ftoncs were appended to firings or ligaments that proved from the front of its head,which occasioned a conje&ure, as it is not furniftied with fufficient fins to refill the violence of the tide and currents, that it fattened with these li gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so that the stones answered the purpofeof anchors and the ligamentsof a glutinous sticky nature, that of cablet. Some of the (tones are in the fame phial. A coiledion of Minerals and other Fossils- » r e now displayed in drawers covered with glass and in a mode which will feeure them from de raugement. To each fpccimen are affixed refe rences to a book of descriptions. This manage ment of specimens of the Fossil kingdom, ren ders this part of the Museum very convenient and fatisfa3ory,and great attention will be paid to the systematical order of them, and in mak ing the necefTary essays of each : Also in giving in a concise manner, the various uses they are applied to ; thereby rendering them the more interesting to the public. A Living Elk, of ztycm old, is just receiv ed. By the account which monf. Buffon gives of the Elk, it appears that he was not acquaint ed with this American animal; he particularly omits all notice of the curious apertures adjoin ing the eyes of this Elk. George Bringhurft, COACH-MAKER, In Mulberry (Arch) between Fourth and Fifth Streets, adjoining the Episcopal burying ground, TAKES this opportunity of returning his grateful thanks*to his former employers, and requesting their future favors, as well as tbofe of the public in general. He continues to make and repair at the (horteft notice, all kinds of pleasure carriages, such as coaches, chariots, phztons with and without crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte reens, windsor fulkeys and chairs, and barnefs of e vory description, in the neatest and newest fafhion now prevailing in the United States. And as he has a quantity of the best seasoned wood by him, and capital workmen, he has not the lead doubt but he will be able to give fatisfa&ion to those whopleafe to employ him. He has for fate, several carriages altnoft finifhed, such as coacbee*, an Italian windsor chair, hung on steel springs, a light phzton for one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling top.

OF VOLUME Encyclopedia ; or Dictionary Of Arts, Sciences, and MifceUaneou* Literature, on a Plan entirely new ; sr WHICH The Different Sciences and Arts. are digejled into the form of Distinct Treaties or Systems : THIS volume contains principles of Levels, Liberty, Doctrine of Light, Lightning, Locks, Logarithms, Logic, History of Lon don, Longitude. Luther, Lydia, Macedon, Madagascar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, His tory of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland, Masonry, Materia Medica, Meadow, Mecha nics, with a great variety of Biographical and Miscellaneous articles, illullrated with Twen ty two Copperplates. As a number oi families are still in the country, and it is not generally known who arereturned. T. Dobfon, foJicits the favor of the fubfcrsbers to call or fend for their vo lumes, that they may be supplied as early as poilible. The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is now presented to the public; but as it makes its appearance in an impcrfeft state, some ac count of the reason of that iraperfe&ion fliould be given. On the Bth of September last, the Publisher had the misfortune of having his Printing-Office burnt down by a fire which broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great quantity of his printing materials destroyed, and among other articles, the figukes, with which he was printing the tables or lo garithms, belonging to the present volume, were melted down by the violence of the fire. As a supply of these could not be immediately obtained, be was under the necessity of pub lilhing the volume without these taeles; but hopes ic (hall be able to publish them with the next volume which is now in considerable for- wardnefs. The Publisher embraces this opportunity of exprefling bis grateful acknowledgments to the generous public, for the very liberal pa tronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the fame time he takes the li berty of representing to fucb of the fubferibers as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neccflity of punctuality, both in taking up the volumes a* early as possible after publication, and of pay. ing for them when taken. Many of the fub feribers having got only one, two, three, L'c. volumes, and several volumes remain vnp aid. Thus the work hangs in all its different ftagei from the commencement; and though rbe im portance of a* few dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles ukpmd lays the Pobliflier under very serious embarrailment, and deprives him of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which at this time would be of very eflential service. For tbefe reasons the Publiiher finds him felt under the necessity of recurring to the original terms of publication, and in future no vo lumes will be delivered but only to those who take and pay to the time of publication.
