The following article written by a gentle than of this county, is well worth a perusal : Fulton was born in Little Britain, Lancas ter County, Pennsylvania, in the year 1765. his father emigrated from Ireland when young, and settled in Pennsylvania, where he married. The suhject of this sketch, was sent to school at Lancaster, where he received the rudiments of an English education. In his childhood, all his leisure hours were passed in mechanics' sit*, or in paintin g . At 17 years of age, he went toPhiladel phia, where he was occupied in painting Portraits and Landscapes, until he was of age. With the means he had thus acquired, he purchased a small farm in Washington county, where he located his mother, his father having previously died. Leaving his mother thus provided ukh n comfortable home. he embarked for Eng land in the `22d year of his age. He took letters of introduction to our illustrious coun tryman, Benjamin West, by whom he was tnost cordially received. ilr. West was so well pleased with his amiable qualities, and his genius, that he invited him to take up hiS abode in his house, where he remained an inmate for several years. After leaving 11r. West, he made portrait painting his ‘Thief employinent. Fulton resided in Devonshire, where Ito Thade the acquaintance of the renowned Duke of Bridgewater, who constructed the 'first important Canal in Great Britain. He also formed the acquaintance of Lord Stanhope, celebrated for his love of science and mechanic Arts, with whom he long torrespcinded upon subjects, to which both their minds had been directed. So early as the yeitr 1793, Fulton had turned his attention to the subject of Steam Navigation. In May 1704 he obtained from the Brit! ish government, a Patent for a double in. dined Plane, to be used for transportation. He resided eighteen months at 'Birming ham, where ho acquired much practical knowledge of the mechanic Arts, which was Of great advantage to him in aftei From this period, he devoted a great por tion of his time, to the subject of civil engi neering, in %Vhich his talent for drawing gave him great aid. He is said to have been an elegant and aceUrate Draftsman.' About this time, he ptiblished a work upon Canals. 'three sub- -jocts-appear-to—have—occupied-his-attention,-, for the last twenty-five years of his eventful life; viz : Steam Navigation—Canal Naviga tion, and the use of Torpedoes, for coast and harbour defence in time of war. In 1797 Fulton went to Paris, where he was invited by our distinguished country man, the Poet, Joel Barlow, to take up his abode with him which he accepted, and con tinued to reside there during his long stay in France. Fulton has been censured for endeavor ing to indroduce a system of sub-marine waTfareTas'a - vi ola tion-of-t h e-laivs—of-War his object however, was to put an end r to wars, by rendering destruction of hurthm ' life so certain, that nations would abandon al , together this inhuman practice, and turn their attention to cultivating the Arts of Peace. Fulton was amongst the first who pointed out the value and importance of connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic, by means of Canal navigation. In fact nt one period, this subject appears to have been upper most in his mind. Whilst at Paris, Fulton was desirous that Bonaparte, then First Consul, should aid him in carrying into effect, his great plan of Steam Navigation. For this purpose, he prepared a memorial to the First Consul, setting forth the great advantages France would derive from it both in peace and in war. His memorial, he requested Bourien ne, Private Secretary to the First Consul, to present to him. 800 rienne, who was a classmate of Bona parte 01 the Millitary School at Brienne, re sided in the family of the First Consul for many years as his Private Secretary ; and he has since published, "Memoirs of Napo leon." Bourienne says, that when he pre sented Fulton's Memorial to the firm Con sul, Bonaparte said—Bah ! ! Away with your visionists ! ! The First Consul, would give Fulton no aid or support whatever.— Through the aid which he received from Chancellor Livingston Who was then our Minister in France, he was furnished with means to make contract with Bolton & Watt. of Birminharn, for a Steam Engine, which was built under Fulton's direction, and ship ped to IN, w York, in ISOO, he made a con tract with Charles Brown, to build a Steam boat. which was launched in the spring of Ih(17 . ; and the Engine from England was put on board of her in August of that year. Mr. Livingston had a joint interest with Fulton in this Boat• All things being in readiness, they invited their friends to wit ness her first movement. It mny be proper here to state, that whilst this boat Was in progress of costruction, Ful ton was the constant subject of jeers and ridicule. Frequently he heard the scoffs of visitors at the Shipyard, who, not knowing him often expressed their opinions in a man ner not very complimentary to his under standing. Nor was this surprising, when we reflect that the grave American Philo sophical Society, at Philadelphia, only four years previous to Fulton's complete success, placed upon record, their deliberate opinion, that no practical benefits could ever been de rived from Steamboat Navigation. Fulton says that the day he left New York, there were not thirty persons in the city, what believe that the boat would ever move one mile an hour, or ever be of the least utility. • But return to our narrative. Every thing being in readiness, the boat moved from the wharf and proceeded at the rate of about five miles per hour to the no small astonish ment of the multitude, who, though they saw all their predictions falsified, sent up shouts of applause. She reached Albany, a distance, of one hundred and fifty miles, in 3'2 hours, and returned in :10 hours, al though there was a light breeze against her, both going and returnine. The trip of this boat which was called the Clermont, forever put to rest the great question of steam navigation. At the ensuing session olthe Legislature of New York inISOS, Fulton and Living ston got the exclusive right to navigate the waters of that State, by steam extended to thirty years, . . As their business increased rivalries grew up. Invasions of their rightS ensued ; and law suits followed as a necessary conse quence. In addition to the boats built in N. York Fulton built a steam boat at Pittsburg, in 1813. This boat plied between New Orleans and Louisville, Kentucky. In 18,14. Congress passed a law authorizing the con struction of a floating battery, after the mod el of one for which Fulton had taken out a patent, Commissioners were appointed by the President to superintend her construction. The commissioners appointed, Fulton En gineer, to carry into effect his own model. To this object he devoted his undivided at tention. She was launched in October, but alas before her machinery was all completed his immortal spirit was summoned to quit the frail tenement it inhabited, and to return to the God who gave it. On his way home from Trenton, where he had been vindicating his invaded rights, he was ex posed crossing the Hudson, through the ice which brought on eerioqs indispositioti. Anxious about tho steam battery, he went ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., JULY 24, 1851. -out-to-attend-to-the-concern,- before- his health would justify it, when he took a re lapse, which- biought him to a premature grave. The Legislature of New York, which was then in session unanimously passed Res olution's expressive of their high sense of his important public services, and of the heavy loss, which the whole nation, but more particularly that State, had sustained by his death, and as a further tribute to his memory resolved to wear a badge of mourn ing for the remainder of the session. A few - years - nfter - his - decensethe - Su= l promo Court a the United States, decided, that the law of the State of New York, granted to Fulton and Livingston, the ex clusive right to navigate the waters of the State of New York, was unconstitutional, and of course null and void. Fulton and Livingston had constructed noble and expensive boats ; but as soon as the trade teas thrown open, they were op posed by boats of little comparative value, so that their prospects were ruined We omitted to state that the steam Bat tery, was completed some months after Ful ton's death, and in the opinion of the Com missioners, would have answered all the purposes which her great Projector ever predicted. But peace was concluded be, fore she was finished, and there was no op portunity of testing her merits. She was afloating Fortffication.—Her Steam machinery was in the middle pro tected by sides of nine feet of timber in thiCk ness, completely impervious to cannon Ball. Any attempt to board her by an enemy, would have been prevented, by scalding water. She made two trips to the Ocean, moving with her whole armament on board at the rate of 5,1 miles per hour. As great opposition, however, was made to her, as to his first Steamboat, but what human invention or human improvement, has ever been devised by man, which has not been opposed. We must here do Fulton the justice to say, that he never pretended to lay claim to the original invention of Steamboats. But what he did claim, was the improvement which he made upon the invention of oth ers, and having given practical effect to the whole. The important inventions of Oliver Evans and John Fitch, are matters of public notoriety, and if they had had the means, they probable might have accom plished the same object. Fulton left a widow, four children, one son, and three daughters. His widow and son, died long since. His surviving children presented a claim to Congress, under the following circum stances : The Steamboat of the deceased father, plying between New Orleans and Louis ville in Kentucky, whilst pursuing a most profitable business, (being the . only Steam boat, then upon the Mississippi.) was forci bly siezed by General Jackson. during the war, and taken into the public service, for the defence of New Orleans. In the public serviceshe was run aground, and remained aground for several months, for which, no compensation had been made. NOr had Fulton ever received any compen sation for the use of his Patent for the float ing Battery, or his service, in the construc tion of her. Congress passed a joint Resolution refer ing the subject to the Secretary of the Na vy, who made a report, allowing the Heirs a liberal compensation for these demands. '['he Committee on Claim:, lir , eiglit nßill to carry into effect the fecretary's Report. We have already exceeded the space al lowed for these "brief sketches." We can therefore'only say, that it was nearly ten years, before the Bill finally became a law although it had repeatedly passed both hou ses of Congress. The most violent oppo sition it met with, was from the delegation in Congress from the State of New York, with a fete honorable exceptions. On the final passage of the Bill in 1816, the jour nals of the Senate will Show, that both the Senators from New York, voted against it though it passed the Senate by a majority of 18 votes. The journals of the noose of Represen tatives for 1846, will also show that when the bill finally passed that body, that out of 34 members from the State of New York. only eight of that number voted for the bill. When this bill for the relief of the heirs of Fulton was under discussion in the ['louse of Representatives, the American A ristides, the venerable Sage of auincy, (whose death the nation has since mourned,) rose in his place and stated to the House that he had thoroughly examined,tho bill and the proof in support of it, and the claim was found- ed both in law and justice , ; and, he added, that it was a disgrace to the natim that it had not long before been paid. The immortal honor of the various del egations in Congress, frOm New England, (where they had - but - little interest in steam navigation,) during the long period that this bill was before that body, with few excep tions, they voted to pay the children of this great public benefactor, their ‘ lowful due, The conduct of the NeW York delega lion in Oortgrees, At one time etllogiiing Fulton's character and extolling his public services, and afterwards refusing bread to his children, reminds us of an epigram.. written years past by a French physician. entitled the "Doctor with three faces." The Devoted Wife. She was a beautiful girl when first I saw her. She was standing at the side of her lover at the marriage alter. She was a lit- tle pale, yet ever and anon, as the ceremo ny proceeded, a faint tinge of crimson cross i-ed-her-beautiful-cheek,like-the-reflection of a sunset cloud upon the clear waters of a quiet lake. Her lover, as he clasped her hand within his own, gazed on her a few . ' moments with admiration, and life - Whim and eloquent blood shadowed at -- intervals his manly forehead, and 'melted into beauty on his lip.' And they gave themselves to one anoth er in the presence of [leaven, and every heart blessed them, as they went on their way rejoicing in their love. . Years passed on, and I again saw these lovers. They were seated together where the light at sunset stole through the half closed and crimson curtain, lending a rich er tint to the delicate carpeting and the ex quisite embellishment of the rich and gorge ous apartment. Time had slightly chang ed them in outward appearance. The girl ish bouyancy of the one had indeed given place to the grace of perfect womanhood, and her lip somewhat paler, and a fainter line of care was slightly perceptible upon her brow. Her husband's brow, too, was marked somewhat more deeply than his ace might warrant ; anxiety, ambition, and pride, had grown over it, and left the traces upon it; a silver hue was mingled with the darkness of his hair which had become thin around his temples almost to baldness.— le was reclining on his splendid ottoman, with his face half hid in his hand, as if he feared that the deep and troubled thoughts which oppressed him were visible upon his features. 'Edward, you are ill to night,' said his ife, in a low, sweet, half requiring voice, . she laid her hand upon his own. Indifl , 2rence from those we love is terri •ble to the sensitive bosom. It is as if the sun of heaven refused its wonted cheerful ness, and glared upon us with a cold, dim, and forbidden glance. It is dreadful to feel that the - only being of our love refuses to ask our sympathy—that he broods over the feelings which he scorns or fears to reveal —dreadful to watch the 'convulsive fears and the gloomy brow, the undefinable shad ows of hidden emotions, the unvoluntary sigh of sorrow in which we are forbidden to participate, and whose character we can not know. She essayed once more. 'Edward,' she said, slowly, mildly, and aflectionately, 'the time has been when you were willing to confide your secret joys and sorrows to one who has never, I trust, betrayed your con fidence. Why then, my dear Edward, is this cruel reserve? Youmre troubled, and yet refuse to tell the cause.' Something of returning tenderness sof tened for an instant the cold severity of the. husband's features ; but it passed away, and a bitter smile was his only reply. • Time passed on, and the twain were sep arated from each other. The husband sat gloomy and alone in the damp cell of a dun geon. Ile had followed ambition as his god, and had failed in his high career.— Ile had mingled with men whom his heart loathed, he had sought out the fierce and wronged spirits of the land and had breath ed into them the madness of revenge.— He had drawn his sword against his coun try ; he had fanned rebellion to a flame ; and it had been quenched in human blood,— He had fallen, miserably fallen, and was doomed to die the death of a traitor. The door of the dungeon opened, and a light form entered and threw herself into his arms. The softened light of sunset :ell upon the pale brow and waisted cheek of his once beautiful wife. 'Edward, my dear Edward,' she said, have come to save you ; I have reached you after a thousand difficulties, and I thank God my purpose is nearly executed.' Nlislortime had softened the proud heart of manhood, and as the husband pressed his pale wife to his bosom, a tear trembled on his eyelash. •I have not deserved t hin kindness,' he murmered is the chocked tones of agony. 'Edward,' said his wife, in an earnest, but faint and low voice, which indicated ex treme and fearful debility, ''we have not a moment to lose. By an exchange of gar , mots you Will be enabled to pass out unno ticed. Haste; or we may be to late. Fear nothing for me. lam a woman, and they will not injure me for my efforts in behalf of a husband, dearer than life itself.' .But Alargaret.' said the husband 'you look sadly ill. You cannot breathe the air of this dreadful cell.' 'Oh, speak not of me, dearest Edward,' said the devoted woman. 'I can endure anything for your sake. Haste, Edward, and all will be well,' and she aided, with a trembling hand to disguise the proud form of bar hershand, in a female's garb. ir. NEUTRAL IN POLITICS. 'Farewell, my love, my preserver,' whis pered the husband in the ear of the dis guised wife, as the officer sternly remin ded the supposed lady that the time allot ted to her visit had expired. 'Farewell, we shall meet again,' respon ded the wife, and the husband passed out unsuspected, and escaped the enemies of his life. They did meet again—the wife and hus band—but only as the dead meet in the aw ful communings of another world. Affec tion had born up her exhausted spirit until the last purpose of her exertions was accom plished, in the safety of her husband—when the bell tolled on the morrow, and the pris oner's cell was opened, the guards found, in the hahilaments of their destined victim, 'the pale but beautiful. corpse of the 'devo ted wi(e. Cause and Cure of Hard Times. I profess myself to be an honest farmer, for I can pay that no man can charge me with a dishonest action. I see with great grief, that all the country is afflicted as well as myself. Every one is complaining, and telling his grievances, but I find they do not tell how their troubles c‘me on them. I know it is common for peOlde,to throw the blame of their own misdeeds do others, or at least to excuse themselves of the charge. I am in great tribulation ; but to keep up the character of an honest man, I cannot in conscience say that any one has brought my trouble on but mi' - § - df. "Hard times— no money !" says every one. A short sto ry of myself' will show how it came to be hard times with me, and no money, at the age of sixty-five, who had lived well these forty years. My parents were poor, and they put me at twelve years of age to a farmer, with whom I lived. till I was twenty-one. My master fitted me with two stout suits of homespun, and four pair of shoes. .At twenty-one I married me a wife, a very good young woman she was. We took a farm of forty acres on rent. By industry we gained fast. I paid my rent punctual ly and laid by money. In ten years I was able to buy myself a farm of sixty acres, on which I became my own tenant. I then in a manner grew rich, and soon added an other sixty acres, with which I was conten ded. My estate increased beyond all ac count. I bought several acres of out-land for my children, which amounted to seven when I was forty-five yearS of age. About this time I married my eldest daughter to a clever young man, to whom I gave 100 acres of laud. This daughter had been a working, a dutiful girl, and therefore, I fit ted her out well, and to her mind exactly ; for I told her to take of the best of my wool and flax, and to spin herself gowns, coats, stockings, &c.; nay, I suffered her to buy some cotton to make into sheets ; I was de termined to do well by her. At this time my farm gave me and my whole family support on the product of it, and left me one year with another, one hundred and fifty dollars, which was for salt, nails, &c.-- Nothing to wear, eat, or drink, was pur chased anywhere, as my farm provided all. With this saving, I put my money to inter est, bought cattle, fattened them, and made great profit. In two years after my second daughter was courted. My wife says, "come, you are now rich ; you know Molly had noth ing but what she spun, and no clothing had ever come into our house fur any of us, she must be fitted out a little ; she ought to fare as well as neigbor B's Betty. "Well, wife, it shall be as you think best, I have never been stingy, but it seems to me that what we spin would do." However, wife goes to town in a few days, and returns with a calico gown, n calimaco petticoat, a set of stone tea-cups, and half a dozen pewter spoons, things that were never seen in my house before. They cost but little—did not feel it—and I confess I was pleased to see them. Sally was as well fitted out cis any' ' girl in the parish. In three years after my third daughter had a spark and a wedding concluded upon. Wife again comes for the purse ; but when she returned What did 1 see ? A silk gown. silk for a hat, look ing-glass, China tea gear, &c., and a hun dred other things, with the etnty purse.— Then followed jealousy and quarrels. Mol ly ought.to be out-fitted as well as • Betty. Good homespun and cotton fi xtures were ruled as vulgar, and white feathers and silk, must take their places ; Sal's husband must speculate in stocks, hacked endorse ments ; but he had all the fun of specula ting, and I had nll the misery of paying.— Then grandpa must be the treasury depart ment for all things needful. Nothing was heard but arrangements for journeys, Wills, parties, and such like. In about a year Bet's husband made a mistake ; and signed somebody else's name to a check instead of his own. He was arrested Mid settd to jail, and I had to spend half of my earnirta to get him out. - "Sal's - hilsband - died, leaving 0, legacy of nine children, whom, with their Mother, I've got to support.

I Could fill your paper with further particulars, but that might not he so agreeable to your rea ders. I will only say, in regard to hard times, let every man exercise the ability nature has given, in his prescribed sphere ; let contentment reign within the breast, no envy reach its threshold. Regard not the apparent glitter of thy neighbor, nor aim at an equality beyond your comprehension live more to pleas yourself, and less to please other people ; be frugal industrious and just bring your ideas down to a level, nor let them be disturbed by bad example. So shall you avoid the mishaps I have expe rienced in family matters, and rejoice in old age over a life well spend, with just hopes for years hereafter.— f pat cli, Curious Discovery in Buliarig, A very curious discovery has just been made in the province of Bulgaria, in Tur key. Some Greek workmen, in digging near the village of Rahmanileah and the town of Hadzah found a large table of grey colored marble; they removed it, and found one beneath exactly similar; having re moved that ale, they saw a great number of objects shining like gold and silver. They hastened to the captain of the district, and that functionary, assisted by two ecclesias tics, proceeded to make an examination.— They found the skeleton of a man of large stature, with a copper helmet ori his head ; surrounded by a thin crown of gold ; the hands and the arms up to the eldows were strained with something of a bronze color ; in the right hand was a copper chain, with an incense-box of the same metal, covered with verdigris, on the third finger of the left hand was a gold ring, with the figures ia Roman characters, 966. By the side of the skeleton were three cups in silver, very brilliant, and 26 cups in iron, very rusty, but bearing traces of having been gilded : there were also an immese number of nails, and about 500 arows, of which the wood was rotten and the points rusty. The skel eton and the different articles were careful ly packed up, and sent to Adrianople for examination. =EI Early Trainingi In the case heard before Judge 'carte, of the United States District Court, on Friday last, in which the captain and two of the sea man were the opposing parties, there as an incident in the hearing of the case Which' excited a feeling of filial affection in the heart of every one present, and proved that the early culture of the moral principal Eiy a mother in the habits of her offspring is never lost upon the recipient. A small lad was called on the stand to testify in the case. He had been d faind on board'the barque Conrad while at 'ler , nambuco, and was present during the edn- , troversy between the captain and the bretlY. The shaggy appearance of his head; and the bronzed character of his face and hetk from exposure to a southern sun,, at first sight would seem to indicate carelessness and neglect; but underneath that long and matted hair the fire of inteligence gleartied from a pair of small and restless eyes Which. could not be mistaken. The counsel for the captain, from the extreme youth Of the lad, doubted whether he understood the ob ligation of the oath he was about td take and, with a view to test his knowledge; ask.: cd leave to interrogate him. This Was granted, and the following eoloquy took place : Counsel. "My lad, do you understand the obligation of an oath ?" Boy. "Yes sir, I do." Counsel. "What is that obligation ? Boy. " . .ro speak the truth, and keep noth ing hid." Counsel. "Where did you learn this, my lad ?" ' Boy. "From my Nionum, sir;" replied the lad, with n look of . pride which showed how much he esteemed the early moral principles implanted in his breast by her to whom was committed his physical and moral existence. How truly has it been slid' "that bread cast upon the waters will return after many days I" This answer caused a thrill of joy to an imate the bosoms of the Auditory, and ev; 6 , ("dee Was lighted Up with satisfaction.— The lad was instantly admitted ib testify. Rather a Hard thing to cast.—"Do you: cast things, hero ?" inquired a Yankee the other day, as he sauntered into a foundry and addressed the proprietot. "We do." "You dast alt kinds of things in iron, eh ?" was the next query. "Certainly—don't you see that it is our business ?" "Ah, well, Cast a shaddiv will you ?" He tins cast out and ieferred to a briiss foundry. 113" The ignorance of young ladies' brought up to thumb pianos, read love•sicic novels, and entertain young getidemen wltlr moustaches, is astonshing. The other day one of this class threw the milk intended for teaout of the viioulovi., because, it had a yellow eenm on the top.
