Avoirdupois pounds weredeplarod of the samo uni

dupois pou>.d,by 8 grams of its ordinary weight, !
without notioe, and almost without its being known,
:as English writers affirm. .
! The 1 proportions of the variant pound weights, \
which disturb the arts, tho trades, the travel, and
exohangbs of neighboring.Btatos and nations, are
numerated as follows:- < ; - .

: By ordinary estimates, tbo modem Troy pound
'is calculated lighter, by nearly 18 por cent., and
the'old,Easterling by about 22 per cent., than the
British Imperial, or the avoirdupois pound. 1
• :TVb feel confirmed in an opinion, that tho pro- 1
portions of, thtt old Easterling pound wore dropped I
in-England ,by Henry the Eighth, (who oertainly
reduced the standard,) because these weights wore ;
heavier than the French Troyes. The recent scale !
pf tho avoirdupois, for the, samo reason, has boon |
t referred, because the ounoes are lighter in propor- |
ion, than the modem Troy,. devised .during the j
reign of Georgo tho First. < , \ !
• The assumed integrity of tho avoirdupois ounoc
has been gradually abandoned in mints by acts of
legislation; yet all arte and professions are con
fessed to require perfect and permanent measures
bnd weights, of which moneys should everywhere
provo the faithful representatives,
f To the student of antiquities, strong reasons exist
to credit that the several arrangements for mea
sures and weights throughout Europe and Amorica
are composed of tho (< shredß and patches” of some
former civilisation, hidden in the primitive ro
koarchos of an almost forgotten people, whoso man
ners and usages xtoro imitated without a general
appreciation of “tbo exact principles of physical
Law,” upon which they were undoubtedly founded,
until tho advance of similar explorations discover
them to ns.
> Peculiarities, connecting tho metrical system of
modern Franco, by an admeasurement of tho cir
cumference of the earth, with the anoiont scale of
the Tyrian navigators, lead to results we scarcely
dare suggest. ' - > 1 -
. The recorded coinages of antiquity, among the,
islands and along the borders of the Mediterranean
sea, were necessarily an accumulation of arte, with
science superodded, requiring metallurgical, me
trical,' and mathematical graduations. Jbiko tho
Aipho-Bctio lottcrs of modern civilization, tho arte
ofooinuge can bo tracked'along a distant lino of
periods and ef nations.
f The varied processes, of each must have been
contrived by an intelligent people, os conveniences
for adistaut commerce by ships and by caravans.
. That liberal arts and sciences, including geome
try ,'wero well known, we have’the best practical,
roasons to believe, from “ remains” of canals,
roads, mounds, mines,’ temples, pyramids, and otbor
monumentej With their accurately defined embol
'lishffionte, .which have outlasted the languages of
; several ancient people. . * !
To Tyre, after her subjection by the Greeks, was
permitted tho singular privilege of issuing “auto
nomous coins. V—that is to say, moneys adjusted
according to nor own ancient or commou law and
“accustomed manner,” which obviously preceded
similar practices among tho Greeks,

coinage) promptly regulated by ready arte, with |
vfeights deyiseq. £roin measures.
; Distinct Greek coinages have been onumorated
from'three hundred kings and one thousand cities.
; A provision of a moral and pbysioal codo—which
ordains “perfect measures and just weights,” to
encourage truth and honesty among tho people—
emphatically states such observances would bo
found favorable >to human life, health, happiness,
andlongevity
> A comparison (or parallel of tho Hebrew) induces
q conviotion that the same means were adopted,
beforo r the day 8 of Moses, which were afterwards
cpntrived by Sir Isaac N.ewten, Master of the Brit
ish hunt during the reign of Georgo I.
Tho old command’laiimprossivo in a rational,
practical, physical, moral, and usoful sense, plainly
expressed in tho Bbuteronomy xxv.’l6:
“Thou shalt have a perfect afid'a just weight;
A perfect, and a just measure thou have.

' “ Tho length of tho day,’’.computed from tho vi
'bratlon of a pendulum, referred to tho measure of
.thelino which supported it—whence the ready re
semblance was faithfully drawn.,
: ! Differences in-this measure of length became
'oomputablo differences of time. 1
. ! That precision existed in tho arrangements for
weights and moneys, deduo'odfrom somo oxaot rule,
we finally conclude but suuplo allu
sions made' by some Syrian, Arabian, or other
Eastern.author, who, in: a sacred drama called
“ Theßook of Job,"ascribes to a character of that

Wo daily witness tho wondorful results of a
studied application of “ Tbo Laws of Fluids,” com

are ascribed to “ A Master Clod,” as if to provo by

*The old Spanish silver dollar by assays at our
Mint from 1808 to 1820, was estimated of the same
value, although in woight but 414 grains—yet it
was equal to UGO thousandths in finonoss.
The ancient Tyrian ounce contained 438 grains
of high quality silver; so there was an ucknow

Choice farm lands for sale.—
THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY
is now preparod to sell about 1,600,000 acres of choice
Farming lands, Sit tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on
long croditß, and at low rates of interest.
Those lands wero granted by the Government to aid
In the construction of this Rood, and ar6 among the
richest and most fertile in the world. The/ extend
from North-East and North-West, through the middle
of the State, to the extreme South, and include every
variety of climate and productions found between those
parallels of lutitndo. The Northern portion is chiefly
prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and in the middle
and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating
with beautiful prairies and openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than
any other part of the country—the air la pure and bra
cing, while living streams and springs of excellent
water abound.
Bituminous Goat is extensively mined, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at many
points at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be hod at the
same rate per cord.
Building Stone of excellent quality also abound*,
which can he procured for little more than the expense
of transportation.
The great fertility or these lands, which ore a black
rich mould, from two to five foot deep, and gently roll
ing; their contiguity to this road, by which every Jaci
lity is furnished for travel and transportation to the
principal markets North, South. East, West, and the
economy with which they can no cultivated, render
them the most valuable investment that can be found,
And present the most favorable opportunity for persons
of industrious habits and small means to acquire a com
fortable iudopendonco in a few years.
Chicago is now the greatest grain market In the world;
and the facility and economy with which tho products
of these lands enu be transported to that market, make
them much more profitable, at the prices asked, than
those more remote at government rates, as the add!
tional cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the
’attor, which must be born© by the producer, In the re
duced price he receives for bis grain, fro.
The title is perfect—and when the final payments are
mado, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by
the State, and in whom the tltlo Is vested, to tho pur
chasers, which convey to them absolute titles in fee sim

gage.
The prices are from $0 to £3O; interest only 3 per ct.
Twouty per ct. will be deducted from theprico for cash.
Those who purchase on longcredit,givenotes payable
in two, three, four, five and nixyears afterdate, andare

so as to have one-half the land under cultivation at the
end of that time.
Competent surveyors will accompauy those who wish
to examine theso Lauds, free of charge, and aid them in
making selections.
The Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable
as those which have been disposed of.
