At the late meeting of the New York historical
Society, n member presented an original letter
written by George Washington to a gentleman in
New York of which the following is a copy:—
NI:WM:MI, 51.11 Nov. 198.2.
neon By Dr. Gregg I send you four jots
.£6. 9. 3. which appears to be the balance due you
for your lands.
I pray you to get me made by the measure en. I
closed a pair of the nicest and best leather breeches.
I know not at this time, who is estimated the amt '
celebrated maker, or I w ould not trouble you with
so small a matter. Formerly there was a person
called, I think, the Carabous, by whom very neat
breeches were made. Whether they are yet to be
had, I know not, neither do I know the price of the
leather breeches at this day, but if the money sent
is not sufficient, the defimenc; shall be paid on de.
mand. I would beg to have them sent to me as soon
as possible. I shall thank you for reiterating my
request that they may be made roomy in the seat.
They generally make them so tight in the thigh
that it is with difficulty they can be drawn on.—
The measure enclosed is the size I would have, not
what they could be brought to by Matching.
Yours, &.c. G. Wssiincaoic.

him to employ 50,000 volunteers, were to be called
out on Tuesday, which will make the 50,000 com

States the requisition will be made.
A special messenger, it is also said, is to be dis

SCI NCE tin Ressin.—An uncommon efihrt is now
making in Russia, to promote a knowledge of the
natural sciences. This is the more extraordinary,
when it is recollected that the imperial government
has exereisesd an unparalleled hostility towards the
only two universities of distinction in poor, degrad
ed, miserable Poland, the victim of the most dis
graceful bar [rarities that were ever practised in a
civilized age. Two professors of geology, whose
high attainments would confer honor on any coun
try, have been dismissed, and the cabinet of tire
former sold in Russia, in order to prevent the pos.
sibility of having the higher departments of useful
knowledge taught in territorial Poland.

Cancrin, a philosopher as well as minister of State,
was a principal mover in the laudable efforts to en
lighten his rough countrymen in the beautiful and
sublime science of nature. Even Nicholas, 'latent
as be seems to be in fettering the minds, limbs, and
property of his millions of subjects, has sanctioned,
since IS:13, eight expeditions, of moment to the
learned in all countries. Four of them were ex
plorations of the Ural mountains, for the express
purpose of obtaining a complete geological map of
that singular and truly terrific region. North of
these mountains, in the Trans-Caucassian district,
where the auriferous sand, Clinker's salts, and vol.
canic soils, are predominant, tom Russians have
made themselves familiar with all the products
which arc regarded as important by chemists or
geolonists. The Emperor no doubt feels that want
of elevation in all that relates to the appurtenances
of mind arc an .almost infinite drawback to the
worth and comfort of Iris dominions. And if there
be any truth in the Cubbet-formed adage, "Knowl

sire heroines an empire not to be trilled with, and

PEnitams Post rims OF Armoszturs.—On Tuesday ,

London. When at the height of COOO feet, the
balloon became tense from the clevation, and a valve
was opened to relieve smite of the gas. A report
resembling a rush of air was instantly heard, and
the whole of the lower part of the balloon suddenly
' collapsed, surging backwards and fowards as in
a high wind, whilst a voice cried,. The valve has

COMICAL ArFmn.—As the American schooner
Rialto lay at anchor near Portßuyan on the Cana
dian shore, she was boarded by a custom-house offi
cer and seven deputies, armed to the teeth. He
bound the only man on deck, and then called up
the Captain and crew, and informed them that he
had seized the vessel in the name of the Queen for
a violation of the revenue law, the Captain having
premitted two persons with guns to land upon the
Canada side without reporting the fact to the Cus
tom-House at Port Royan. On being assured that
the men went on shore a gunning, the officer would
not admit the excuse, but ordered the vessel into
harbor as the property of the Queen. This roused
the Yankee captain's dander, and ho immediately
slipped cable and steered for Buffalo, the officers
and their arms to the contrary, notwithstanding--
A heavy gale of wind sprang up, and the Custom
House officers, fearful that the vessel would not
weather the storm, and expecting every moment to
go to the bottom, worked as men never before
worked. They were permitted to go on shore at
Buffido, and having but ten cents among thorn, they
were compelled to go an foot to Black Ruck, whence
they crossed to Canada.
A PUZZLEIL—A. writer in the Baptist Register
proposes the following inquiry;" If a Mr. Ran
dall is blessed with a Son, whom he names Ezra'
and if Mr. R. upon the death of Ezra's mother,
marries the daughter of Mr. Alvord, who a few
years before lost his wife, and who subsequently,
by a second wife, is blessed with a daughter that is
named Mary, but who lives not long to lament the
early death of his daughter, Mrs. Randall, or enjoy
the society of his companion and daughter Mary ;
and if,•after his death, Mr. Randall takes for his
third wife the former wife of his father-in-law,
and if his son Ezra choose to marry the daughter
of his father's third wife, Miss Mary Alvord, will
any law, human or (lit inc, be broken, and what re
lation will Ezra be to his father, or his children to
his father's wife ?"

had accompanied him, and his attention wan drawn

'pot he discovered that pussy was engaged in mor
tal conflict with a large adder, which she hod pro

adder leaped at the cat with great bounds, some
times going over it by several feet, and the other
kept standing on its hind legs, striking the enemy
on the head with the claws of its fore feet. Ater
this encounter had lasted for some time, the shop.

he disabled by a stroke from his spade. Pussy im

SERVIAN CUARM To 01SrAIN ltnix.—A maiden is
di% ested in her usual garments and so wrapped
round with grass, herbs, and Mower:., that hardly
any part, even her face, can be seen. She is called
the Doloela, and in this state, like a walking bun
dle of grass, she goes from house to house; the
housewife then pours a pailful of water over her as
a symbol. iler companions chat a prayer fur rain,
and the people feel almost certain of obtaining their
object. They have a song expressly composed for
the occasion; its purport is that the clouds should
outrun the procession and bedew the grapes and
corn as it advances.—Ranke's History of Sri I ice.

CIARICAL LI BEl.—Rev. Mr. Campbell of the
United States, and Rev. Mr. Robertson of Edinburg,
have recently been attempting to settle a dispute,
which arose from some libellous remarks made by
the former. Mr. Robertson brought an action against
Mr. Campbell for a defamation of character, plac
ing his damage at £5.000. As it was supposed
that Mr. Campbell was about to leave the country
for the United States, a warrant for his commit
ment was obtained and he was taken off and lodg
ed in Glasgow jail. The case came on before
Lord Murry, and that magistrate decided that the
warrant was not of a sufficiently definite character
to justify Mr. Campbell's imprisonment, and he es.
pressed strong doubts whether the case warranted
the incarceration of a foreigner meditating flight.
Mr. Campbell was liberated, and the libel case will
come on shortly. This quarrel between these Cler.
gyznen has caused much excitement in Scotland.
AT7I:3IFT ON THE LIFE OF CAPT. Banco.—The

soldier an 8-inch bombshell, with a train leading off
by which it was ignited. 'Vito explosion was ter
rific, but fortunately the Captain received no inju
ry. Two of the missiles went through his bed
without touching hint. His escape is looked upon
as miraculous, the contents of the shell having
been scattered around for a hundred yards. No
cause is assigned for this attempt upon the life of
Capt. Bragg, except that some of his men thinks
he is too severe in his discipline. This is the
second attempt on his life.
EEZECM
NI:MAKABLE ANTICLUARIAti Diseormics.—Mr. W.
IL Rolfe, of Sandwich, assisted by Mr. T. Wright
and C. Smith, has been pursuing with considerable
success the researches commenced last year among
the early Anglo-Saxon graves then discovered on
Osengaldown in the isle of Thanet. During one
week, there were eight graves opened, which fur_
nicheda number of curious articles of arms and
personal ornaments. In one grave were discovered
a male skeleton, with the skeletons of his wile, and
apparently his daughter, evidently all three interred
at the same time, and in a position which evinces
the affectionate feelings of our early foiefathers.
They lay arm in arm, and the faces of the man
and his wife were separated only by the warrior's
spear. Another grave contained also skeletons of
a male and female, the forehead of the former rest
ing on his partner's check. On the breast of this
lady was found a magnificent brooch of siver-gilt
set with garnets.
THE lIVDRAILGOS.—The huge skeleton which was
exhibited in this country two years ago and which
was pronounced a great natural curiosity by one
party and a great artificial humbug by the other, ha.
lately been examined by Cainus, the great Dresden
naturalist, in connection with Graithcr, Reichert.
bach, and several other scientific gentlemen, who
unite in the opinion that ails genuine. They agree
1 in pronouncing it one of the most interesting re.
mains ever discovered. In their opinion, the ant.

animals.

"For agricultural merit," surrounded with a crown
of wheat, with vine and olive leaves. The exerguc
bears the name of the designer. Three classes arc
to be established in this Order. The King reserves
to himself the exclusive right to distribute the Or.
der of the first class ; the second and third will be
granted to farmers, presented by the College of
Economy. The distribution will take place annu.
ally, on occasion of agricultural festivals and the
solemn sessions of Agricultural Societies in the
Prussian Monarchy.

O'er the breast of the flood the sere forest-leave ,, (loot

The Cost's a good thing, but in timeless alone.

And where can I be mart becomingly dressed :
