1 watched for the meteorite dance in the heavens. —The appearance of an evening sky in Egv _' always several succeed! ng, there were singu lar appearances in the heaven a though nothing *0 extraordinary as has occurred with us i n the foiled States. I was disappointed in this, be cause at Cairo this phenomenon of that day ha« been noted in former years. My Arab ooatmen all looked at me with the niost’pio found venera- ■ uon whenever they saw me star (gazing. We had an eclipse since they have been with me, and Columbus himself, I fancy, hardly gained great- ! er influence over the poor Indians than I did over these suns of Isbmael, simply by foretelling this ' event in the heavens, I was looked upon as an astrologeri which, throughout alt the East, is still looked upon as the mo#: sacred of characters. Here let me mention that in the Military School utthe Sultan, at Constantinople, astrology is still une ut the sciences taugat;; while at Cairo, in the Pacha’s school, it is dropped altogether, and in its place is studied arithmetic and European as tronomy. My next destination is the lonian Isles, from whence you shall again hear from me, as well as from Italy', Spaib, France, Holland and aood old England. Woodkx Tike Rail Road Wheel.— The Liverpool papers speak highly of a new rail road wheel, introduced by Mr. Henry Discles. It con sists of a deep channeled tire, in which blocks of wood, chemically prepared to render them im pervious to water, are fixed with the grain placed vertically, and are then fastened with one or two bolts to each. The wheel, when so fitted and turned, presents rather a deeper rim than usual, and shows a wood-laced tire. The wheel is stated to possess many advantages ; that the wood wears s considerable time; that it can be easily either re-turned or re-tired, and this without the usual cost or labor; that it works smoother and easier than iron tired wheels, with the advantage of go ing well in wet weather upon inclined planes, having a sufficient bite on the rail, without drop ping sand to assist it in this respect; and, lastly, an important result will be, that the rhils them selves will suffer less wear, and that the fasten ings, sleepers, and blocks will receive less injury, and thereby favor the laying of rails on stone blocks whenever they aro considered most de sirable. Steam Locomotion on Cosmos Roads.—A locomotive for ordinary roads has been brought to such a state of perfection in England, that in a recent experimental trij?, it repeatedly turned corners at a speed of about twelve miles an hour, and at a pressure of only about 46 to 48 pounds upon the square inch. The machinery of this locomotive is so boxed in, as to be entirely con cealed frem view, which prevents horses, when the carriage passes them, from being frightened. Suspension Bridge.—A new Suspension Bridge has been constructed between two immense rocks, /.a the valley of Gotterin, at Fribourg, in Switzer land. The height of the bridge is two hundred and hfty feet from the ground. OBITUARY. Is there no balm for those who mourn ? Does the heart once prostrate no more revive ? Shall tbe shadows of gnef rest forever where they fall? —By the charm of Holy Faith Is the mourner soothed, and the prostrate heart is raised in grati tude, and the gloom of sorrow yields to the bright ness of Hope. Rich are the rewards that await , the good. To the pure m heart, the just of pur pose, the meek of spirit—to those whose ways have been the ways of virtue, and whose faith hath been placed on high immortal bliss is the promise of a merciful God ; and of these was the sobject of this notice, JANET JOANNA GRA HAM, who died at Tallahassee, on the sixth of the past month. Bright and lovely are he charms that distinguish her sex; tut in few have the rays j that surround it beamed with more steady lustre. ! A creature of feeling, tbe springs of her affection , were ever full; a being of purity, the light of her j virtues was aever dimmed. To her kindred how j dutiful and devoted—to her friends how true— j to all how kind, how forbearing, how generous and considerate. Buoyant of disposition, gentle of temper, patient, guileless, charitable, she was dear to all who knew her. Scrupulous in the discharge of her duties, unprejudiced and lenient in her judgement of others , liberal of sentiment I faultless in all her social relations, confiding, can- { did, unassuming, and amiable, few approached without admiring her, or admired without loving. ; She i« no more.—But in the memory of her vir tues there is a consolation which her friends may fondly cherish, and ih the example of her life a legacy they may justly prize.—Wherefore should they weep ? The thread that confined her to earth hath broken, and s|ic, the valued of their ' hearts is blessed in Hea|kn.

T HI-** volume is designed to be a complete ae fiamg-.\a<i pronoun t ing Dictionary for gene ral use. With inference to the first object, it em braces a much larger proportion of Dr. Webster’s ; great work, than is usual in abridgements of this ■ comprising more than half the ma’ter of the two original quartos. With reference to the second object, important additions have been made from other sources, which render it a more comprehen sive work than any of the kind in our language ; embracing as it does, not only the pronunciation of English words, but of Latin, Greek, and Scripture Proper Names. Being formed with these views it contains: Ist. All the words which are found in the Ame rican Dictionary, with numerous additions from other quarteis. 1 n~*w t * ie ( * f J in *t lons of the original work, witn all the shades at meaning as there given, express ed in the author's own language, though to some extent in abridged terms. The plan, however, has been to give the definitions, especially of synony mous words, with great fullness; so that this work is a substitute, to a great extent, lor a book of synonyms. 3d. A complete system of English Pronuncia tion, word being so marked, a« to exhibit the power of each letter, and the proper place of the accent, at a single glance. ■ 4t * K A synopsis of words of disputed pronuncia tion. This enables the reader to examine for him self, as to doubtful points. About nine hundred words are given in the synopsis, with the decisions 01 seven distinguished writers on English orthoepy. olh. The whole of Walker's Key to the pronun ciation oj Latin, Greek, and Scripture Proper Raines. Phis is the sole and acknowledged stand ard on these subjects, both in England and Ameri ca. \S hen printed by itself, this work makes a ; volume of nearly three hundred pages, Svo. j Os the numerous recommendations of the origi nal work and the abridgement, the following only can be heie given : Ihe merits ol Dr. Webster’s American Dic tionary ot the English Language, are very exten sively acknowledged. W T e regard it as a great improvement on all the works which have preceded it; the definitions have a character of discrimina tion, copiousness, perspicuity, and accuracy, not found, we believe, in any other dictionary of the English Language. ” — Officers of Yale and Middle bury Colleges, and of the Andoctr Theological In stitution, “ 11 me pleasure to state, that I have made use of your quaito or octavo dictionary, ever since the time of their publication ; and that for copious ness, for exactitude ot definition ; and adaptedness to the present state of literature and science, they seem to me to be the most valuable works of the kind that 1 have ever seen in our language.”— Rev. Dr. Wayland, President of Brown University. “ I am prepared, after protracted and careful examination, to say, that in ray judgment, the Dictionary of Noah Webster possesses unrivaled merit.” — Dr. Chapin, President of Columbia Col lege, D. C. “ I have had occasion to use and examine Dr. VV ebster’s quarto Dictionary, and the abridgement of it by Mr. Worcester. Each of them appears to me to be executed with great care, learning and ability.”— Hon. Judge Story. “ We have seen and examined your American i Dictionary, and we think it unrivalled by any work 1 of the kind in the English Language.”— Dr. Fisk I and other officers of the Wesleyan University, Mid- j dletown, Lt. Similar recommendations have been given bv ; more than a hundred members of congress, and by various conventions of literary men and teachers. FOREIGN TESTIMONIALS. When this work is as well known in Britian as it is in America, it will supersede every other book of the kind in the same department of letters. Its excellence is obvious and indisputable.” Cambridge Independent Press. “ Dr- Webster’s knowledge of languages appeals to be extensive, and his researches for authorities to establish the meaning of words, not to be met with in other dictionaries, numerous. The intro duction of technical and scientific teiras is a very very valuable addition to a general dictionary. Ihe notation adopted by him for expressing the true sound of the vowels, is much simpler than that introduced by Sheridan, and followed by Walker.” —Dublin Literary Gazette. “ It is impossible to refer to any one page, with out discovering that Dr. Webster is a capital ety mologist. His derivations are exceedingly just, and his explanations of terms are jail without be ing redundant.” — Sun. “ We beg to call the attention of our readers to the republication of this work, the supreme ex cellence of waich is so obvious, that it is unneces sary for us to enlarge on its merits.”— Aberdeen Chronicle. Extended critiques on the work, confirming these views, have appeared in the Westminster Review, and the .Scientific Journal of Professor 1 Jameson of Edinburgh.
