ArFscriNo Incident at St. Kii.da.—li
is well known that the “trade of 'g’gitig” is
carried on with most fcttrful adventure, in
many portions of the old wor'J. 0.1 Iho nig.

amid the Needle rocks of ihe Isle of Wiifht.
and nl Garrick-tt-Reade, in Ind.-.r'l where
“the incessant wearing of waves,” or smnw
•nightly convulsions ol nature, through suc
cessive ages, have < lit off immense ragmt n's
of rocks, the sea-birds had mi listurbeidy built
their nests until the "egging business’’ induc
ed Uic adventurers in their perilous feats of
botty. They usually swing themselves est
by a rope, and descend a craggy pro ij. ee of
hundreds or tect, sometimes bounding lro;n
crag to crag with us much apparent case as
tlic sea tiwfr (bemsolvrs. At St. Kdda. t!«o
westernmost speck of an island in the Atlan
tic, the ropes are made of hide nr the hair nl
a cow’s tail, sometimes two or three hundred
feel in length—and they have been looked
upon of so much value, ns to become the mar
riage portion of a Si. Kd.la girl. '1 he (earful
adventures encountered by the St. Kthli ts
MO numerous and thrilling. In one case, a
father and two sons were out together, a;.d
having firmly attached their rope at the sum
mit of a precipice, descended on their it mil
occupation. Having collected ns many birds
and eggs as they could carry, they were all
three ascending by the rope—Urn eldest of the
sons first—his brother a fathom or two 1 clow
him; and (ho father following last. They
had made considerable progress, when the
elder son looking upward, perceived the
stands of the mpo grind.ng against ft sharp
edge of a rock, and gradually giving way. Hi
immediately reported the alarming (act. ‘Will
it hold together till we can gain ike summit 1’
asked tho father.—‘lt will not hold another
minute,’was the reply;‘our triple weight is
loosening it rapidly !’ ‘Will it hold one!’ said
the father, ‘it is ns much ns it can do,’re
plied the son—‘even that is bu doubtful,’
‘There is then a chance, at least, of one of us
being saved : drawn your knife, and cut away
below !’ was tho cool and intrepid order ol
the parent. " Exert yourself—you may yet
escane, and live to comfort your mother!’
There was no lime for discussion or further
hesitation. The son looked up once more, hit
the edge of the rock was culling its way, and
the rope had nearly severed. Tho knife was
drawn—the rope was divided and his father
and brother were launched into eternity !
The old Srao.—A couple of blades once
met u Vermonter at a tavern. They hud
heard much of Yankee ingenuity and dinning,
and they soon determined to see if they could
not "come round” this son ol tho Green Moun
tain. Thinking he would bo careful of his
coppers, they proposed to him in the course
of the evening’s chat, that each at them should
propose and do something which the other
two should imitate, or on tho rofural of either
so to do, ho should pay nil the damages Ihe
others might sustain, and the scot nl the bar.
The Vermonter was « little wary at first—bin
at length consented. One of the Yorkers com
menced the game. lie pulled off his emit,
walked up to the lire und threw it on. 1] s
companion did the same. The Vermonter,
as they had agreed, must do so too with h.s
cnat, or pay for the other two coats and the
scot. Without hesitating off went tho gar
ment on to the fire. The other New Yorker
next made the trial. Ho off bools and ha',
and consigned them to the 11 lines. IDs com
panion imitated him, and to their astonish
ment, the Yankee was not backward. Now
came tho Vermonter’s time to lead. “ Land
loid, is there a doctor near!”—“Yes, sir,”
“Send for him.” The gentlemen of York
began to stare. Tho doctor soon came in.
"Doctor," said the Vermonter, “get your
instruments, I waul you to pull out every toolh
in my head, and those gentlemen will proba
bly want the same done with I heir’s.” At the
name time he began to nviko roadv for tho
operation. The doctor und tho other two
were confounded. “ Gome, doctor, don’t
wait,” ami soiling open his mouth, ho dis
covered to the company that ho hid in his
head but one old snag, which would hardly
keep in Ins head. It was presently out. The
Yorkers wisely declined following suit, paid
the Vermonter lor his coat, hat, ami boots,
and went off very quietly to bud.

that one of tho party said—" You have told us

Graphic.—The following letter

A dandy was one day sitting in a tavern porch,
dressed in tights, when a wagoner coming along
said, “Stranger, I’ll bet you a battle of wine,
that with my whip I can cut your lights ami not
touch your skin.” “Done," said the dandy; and
up the wagoner drew his whip with all his might,
and cut the fellow to the bone, at tire same time
calling for the wiuo, and declaring he had lost the

A voter, sadly deficient in personal beauty, said

THE “ PERPETUAL MOTION.
This miserable humbug, which has been far
some weeks puzzling the brains of our citizens,
and testing the veracity as well as credulity of
our neighbor, has at lasi, we trust received ’ its
quietus.
On Friday last, a committee of geollemen, at
the request of the exhibitor,’(Dr. Suinglellow.)
proceeded to examine his" self-moving machine,"
nndcr a promise from him that it should be all
taken apart for their satisfaction. Several pieces
were detached, and again replaced, and the thing
slopped or moved as the exhihiton wished. As
far aa’appcarci] to the eye, all wWplain—no trick,
no secret spring no connection with any moving,
principle, could be detected; and the committee
were about to retire satisfied that it was in re
ality what it purported to he, a self-moving mach
ine—When, unfortunately for the Doctor, an old
rat on the committee suggested the propriety of
“cutting into that are platform,’! This liberty
w»« bluntly refused, and the meeting broke up.
Tho next day, Mr. Houghton having comple
ted his imitation of a "perpetual motion,” made
a public exhilmion/if it at the court house. Every
one who bad seen both, pronounced this machine
precisely similar to that of the Doctor, arid to all.

i “It is comprised within a square sums of about
eighteen ho ho-*, and the pith consist only ol
two perpendicular spindles, two horizontal cog-,

machine starts of it ell and runs with considera

’ Houghton’s machine was tested in the
same manner ns :be other; the weight was de

moved again ; the spindle* were raised up and

and having no connexion above or below. After
1 the close-1 scrutiny, wo could not discover any
1 connexion with a secret spring, nor delect tbe
in, ut-c by which it moved.
A fur giving evetv one an opportunity to er

r Augusta, March 17, 1837.
j. Gentlemen —Allow me, in reply to your com
, munication of yesterday, to express through you,
to the rc-pccicd batly wham you serve, my high
l sense of gratitude for the favorable manner in
* w hich they have been pleased to contemplate my
I zeal and perseverance in tlic cause of my proses
, sion ; and particularly in regard to the establish
; ment of the Medical College of Georgia.
* When I have contemplated hitherto lire neces
sities and privations of the native genius of the
p South f I have only regretted that my fortune and
- my acquirements were not commensurate with
my zeal. But through the kAtdness of Provi
, my public efforts have been signally favor- I
y ei 'i u, 'd lam now allowed the happiness of wit
i. nctsing the progressive consummation of tbe put*
- puces by which I have been actuated—Uic con
c slant a’ttd increasing prosperity of the profession. !
' the my State, and the convenience !
of thorough medical instruction in the’rmdtt of ’
r tho rising generations of our ie.’sfc.J South.
And allow me to embrace the present occas on c
for assuring tho class of my high sense of dc- *■
pendenro for reputation and sm-oeas of our South- (
cm lujlitufton.on the talent disseminated through |
| the alumni, snd to the snccessfobemploymcnl »i i
. which the soundest principles of honor and mo- j
ralily are indispensable. I am happy in the assu
rance I feel, that this dependence will not be dis
honored ; but on tbe contrary, lhat our promising
institution will thrive and grow end extend in
honoi and influence hy tbe nurlritare of the rich
achievements of its increasing alumni, in science
and humanity ; and from none of wham have I
reason to expect more, than from the present
class.
Looking forward as I do to the period when
your Alma Mater shall have floug occupied the
imperishable page of history—when the silent
shall have hidden from future generations tbe
weakness, and many faults and foibles of her
public projector; and when time shall have
cloalhcd with the mantle of oblivion tho many
prejudices and influences which have opposed
the success of his purposes, and shall have dif
fused an unmerited lustre over his deeds and ef
forts, it may be, that the end designed hy the re
solution of the class, may be acceptable to those
who may there be true friends.
With these views, and the constant desire of
gratifying every reasonable wish of a body pos
sessing so much of my personal regard and ap
probation, I take pleasure in tendering to the
cl .SR my cheerful compliance with their request.
Please accept, Gentlemen, for the body you
. represent, and yourselves individually, the assu
rance of my high regard and csleem.

SOUTH CA BOLINA~SCHOOL F<)U ENGI
NEERS.
If South Carolina expects to carry through her
great wotks and to sustain them—if she expects
to keep even pace with tho rest of the Union in
tho course of improvement, sho must not be de
pendent on other Slates far the science which
such efforts require. Our own young men must
be educated for tho purpose. The Military
Schoul at West Point cannot supply one tenth of
the engineers which will be required; and besides,
the education there is so much of it military, that
at least two years are lost to those who intend to
confine themselves to civil engineering. Other
Stales have found it necessary to erect Schools
for this purpose; Kentucky has a school for 'Engi
neers at Georgetown; Ohio at Cincinnati, and In
dians nl Madison. In those, young men are
taught French, drawing, mathematics, and engi
neering, and in two years complete their course,
so lhat with two subsequent year* in the field on
a canal, rail road, or other improvement, under a
skilful' ciigiiieerj the practical as well as theoreti
cal part of the science is well acquired. One
who is well advanced in mathematics and French
can be prepared for tho field in one year—the
two years afterwards employed in some work,
will cost the student nothing hut his clothes, as
ht« services will entitle him to his support and
expenses there. It will thus be seen that this
course of education will he attended with less ex
pense than any other professional one; and no
other promises as great remuneration as this.
The time for South Carolina to act in this
matter is most propitious. Extensive works are
about being undcilaken in this and the adjoining
States, whore a wide field for improvement in
this science will be open, and where sj ill and in
. thistly will be amply rewarded.
These considciations have suggested the follow
ing plan. The Rico Creek Springs are now un
occupied. There are good buildings there to ac
commodate the teachers, a steward, and at least
sixty students. The situation is central to the
Stale—is retired, and as healthy as any in the
United States. Tito place contains about three
- hundred acres,—which, with all the buildings,
, can be purchased for $2,800 and 81,200 more
will put it in repair and supply the necessary ap
paratus for the school. Four thousand dollars,
■ therefore, must be raised, and it is proposed to do
this in shares of two hundred dollars each. The
association will then consist of twenty gentlemen,
under whoso direction the school will be. They
w ill appoint the principal teacher, prescribe rules
fortlie government of the institution, and fix tha
rates of tuition and laiard. Tho principal may
he permitted to engage his own assistants, and
rely on the fees of tuition for bis remuneration.
The benefit to the contributois who purchase the
place will bo the preference they will have to
name students for admission into the school. It
, is expected that at least forty students will enter
their names as soon as it is known that Ihe plan
is perfected and competent teachers engaged.
Uni to ascertain what number of students may
be depended on, gentlemen wishing to send are
requested to drop a lino to one of the undersigned
ns soon as possible, as it is desirable that the
school should he opened by the first of May.
1 hero is no doubt ; that Ihe association can bo
formed, and measures are taking to engage com
petent teachers.

Numerous petitions were presented in the
House of Lords, on the 6th of February, for the
abolition of church rates. Lord brougham, who
presented one with 14,000 signatures, expressed
a hope thalthe measures in preparation by the
government, would be satisfactory to the petition
ers.
In the Houae of Commons, on the same day, a
member inquired whether any steps had been ta
ken, relative to the seizure of the brig Vixen by
the Kusaians. Lord Palmerston answered that
the matter had been submitted to the King's ad
vocate, and the government was waiting for his
opinion. He was able to aay, however, with rea
ped to tie toll at the month of the Danube, that
the Russian government would throw no impedi

ed, 181 ta 42. It was moved by Mr. Hume, and
supported by Mr. O’Connell, and opposed by Sir
Robert Peel and the Chancellor of the Exche

to have brought in immediately.
On the 3d, in the Housp of Lords, Lord

And the motion was agreed to. At a subsequent
day, however, it was reconsidered and rejected, at
the request of Lord Palmerston, who said that
he had assented to the motion by mistake !
SPAIN.
No movement yet by either of the hostile
armies but preparations making. The Span

From the New York Evening Post, March 17.
There has been a general panic in Stocks to
day, occasioned by the failure of a large house,
J L. Joseph & Co. The circumstances have
created an unusual degree of excitement, ns the
house is under an immense amount of liabilities.
A great many stories ate afloat re-pccting the a
mount of their liabilities and assets—at any rate,
no statement has yet been made, ns it yrould lake
some time to do so. Tho members of the firm
arc Joseph L. Joseph, Solomon I. Joseph, and
Moses Henriqucs.
The immediate: ca«se of their stoppage is said
to be tho large amount of bills returned from the
South yesterday, which cemc upon them all at
once. It is reported that the failures in New Or
leans, in which the house was concerned,
were known in Philadelphia the day before
ycsteiday, and that Mr. Biddlo iminediaeiy for
warded notice to the Joseph's, with nn offer ol
assistance to the amount of r million, if they
would give security. But the linn wanted two
and a half millions, which could not be furnished.
To-day a meeting of the principal creditors of
the house was held, attended by several Bank
Presidents, who agreed that the amount required
could not he furnished. The stoppage is, there
fore, in all probability, final. But it is-satisfacto
ry to learn that the loss will fall very slightly on
New York.
A’ca) York Commercial Advertiser, March 17.-
Wall Street, IS o’clock. — The present is
the most gloomy day in Wall st. for years. The
news from England yesterday, of a farther de
cline iti cotton, and of the bad state of the mon
ey market, has had a sympathetic cftect on our
own exchange. Added to which, is the re-action
of the deplorable condition of thing* at the far
South. Wc have been told that from many pla
ces at the Smith, hardly any thing is now paid ; |
and for scvctal days past, immense amounts ol (
protested paper have been coming back upon the
drawers. There have been several recent fail
ures in Ibis city, ot which no public mention lias
been made ; but the suspension ofthe extensive
house of the Messrs. Josephs this morning, has
caused a sensation which it would be idle to con
ceak We learn that they had an offer of a mil
lion from the Bank of the United Stales, but
; judged it best to stop for the present. The fall
of stocks is very great.
i£j- (Ist. O’clock. —let not the public sup
pose things ate worse than they arc, or that
there is any thing like a general crash. The
case of the Messieurs. Josephs, thus far is rather
one of suspense than a failure. A house at New
Orleans has failed, having a million of the funds
of the Josephs. But the latter have the guaran
tee of another house for a million; and if this
house has not failed of which there is no certain
ty, the Josephs will go on. And if not, negotia
tions are on foot, which may effectually relieve
them from existing embarrassments. It is not
i believed by many, that there will be any mercan
tile failures in consequence of this event.
Office ofthe Journal of Commetcc, 7
NEW YORK, March 17, 2P. M. 5
Monet Affairs. —Wc arc sorry to say that
the State of things in Wall street is most uncom
fortable. It will beseenbythe sales at the Bro
kers’ Board that panic reigned there, some stocks
going down eight or ten per cent below the low
point to which they had previously fallen. The
condition of things at the Board was in sympa
-1 thy with the feeling out of doors. The largest
1 ingredient in lit* cup of alarm which this day has
f added, is the suspension of Messrs. J. L. & S.
s Joseph & Co. whose immense business affects
! directly or indirectly a great number of persons.
This house has long been one of great credit and
usefulness in our city, and intimately connected
with several otter great houses, particularly of
Jews, both in this country and Europe. One of
these was Herman, Briggs & Co. of New, Orleans
• the news of whose failure reached tho city ycstcr
l day.
, Tho engagements of Herman, Briggs & Co.
• wore enormous, being for the thirty days succeed
; ing their failure, not less than three millions of
dollars, or more than a hundred thousand dollars
• daily. The originator of this house came to N.
Orleans some twenty years ago with a pedlar’s
■ pack on his back, soil is said, but rapidly amass-
I cd a princely fortune, and with his partners retir
• ed from active business a few years ago, leaving
■ thetr names and responsibility for the use of the
f junior Herman and talented business gentlemen
, with whom he had associated himself.
A, main part of their business was that of fac
t tors for the cotton planters and interior dealers.
1 Those who are acquainted with this business, know
t how immense the acceptances of these factors are
in anticipation of the arrival of cotton. When the
cotton trade goss oft', as it has for several years
i past, these acceptances arc easily met by the sales
■ of cotton as it arrives, but if the cotton fails to arrive
, or cannot be sold, or the bills on Europe and the
L northern States in which it is common to make
■ payment, cannot be negociated, tho state cf tho
> Rise is very difljrcnt, and this is the stale of the
case at present.
| For this house, Messrs. Josephs are understood
to be at this moment under acceptances to the
. amount of one million four hundred thousand
, dollars, a sum 100 great to be taken up under
the circumstances, even by a house otherwise of
great wealth. The letters from New Orleans to
, the Blh of March say that the banks, except (wo.
had agreed to sustain Herman & Co., and a
meeting was to be had on the 9th, to see whether
all tho banks would not come into the plan of re
lief, It is hoped therefore that the next news
will be a resumption of payment.
Under these circumstances, Josephs’& Co. call
ed a meeting of their friends this morning who
have advised that they should suspend until Mon
day. The sympathies of the public are particu
larly excited in their behalf, for it is only within
a few days that the most active partner of the
house buried nn only son; on Tuesday their ex
pensive banking house was a heap of ruins,
and now their great mercantile credit is also pros
trate.
We understand that by'the’exhibit of the Messrs"
Joseph & Co. this morning, it was concluded
that two millions and a hall were necessary to
carry them through. The U. S. Bank offers
them one million, on condition that the rest can
be procured elsewhere.
The general impression is, that no loss can
finally result to the creditors of Herman, Briggs
A. Co. but unless they and the other houses here
and elsewhere, associated with them, can go on,
the derangement must produce great inconveni
ence.

quested that persons sending mores, will send a note
for the season and a pedigree of the mare.
John Bascombe never having covered, his powers
as a foal-getter are, of course, unknown : such mares
■ therefore, as do not prove in loal, shall have the
benefit of another season, free of charge. Messrs.
Glascock & J-acy arc extensively prov ided with Lots
and Stables, for mares that may bo sent to remain
j with the h rse, and will be fed at fifty cents per
day. Black servants, sent wilh mares, led gratis.—
• Every care and attention will be taken to guard
I against accidents or escapes, but no liability w ill be
1 incurred for either. A report having gained circula
f tion that John Bascombe would nut cover, 1 lake
p this method to contradict it, so far as he has not re
. lused.
’ PEDIGREE.—John Bascombe is a light chcsnut,
' fifteen and a half hands high, fine bone and muscle,
with very superior limbs and action, six years old
. the ensuing spring ; he was got by the celebrated
. horse Bertrand, sen., his dam was got by Pacolst,
p and he by imported Citizen; his grand dam by im
ported Buzzard ; and his great grand dam by Wade
’ Hampton's Paragon, and hehy imported Fliranap;
■ his dam by Harwell's Traveller, his grand dam Ca
s raillia, by old Fearnought out of Calista, imported
. by Col. Bird ; Burwell s Traveller was by Morton’s
. Traveller, out of Col. Bird’s Cxlista; Baacombe’s
r great great grand dam by imported Figure, his great
| great grand dam was old Shamerkin, who was got
! by imported Wildair, out of the imported Cub Mare.
1 Bascombe's performance on the Turf are of so re
cent date, and consequently so well known, I deem
- it unnecessary to trouble the public with any remarks
