' A class of men, who have gained distinction of another sort, may with propriety be added to the catalogue. They are the men of great wealth; such as Mr. Girard, of Phil idelphia, Mr. Greece, of Boston, and Mr. James, of Al bany. Mr. Girard’s death occurred near the close of 1831. It is not strictly correct to add him to the list; but the deaths of three of the most wealth) men in our country, within 12 months, are worthy of being rec o ded together.

Wc have just seen a nCw and revised edition of the octavo English Dictionary formed by the joint labors of Johnson, Todd, Chalmers, Walker and Worcester. We cannot imagine a work ot the kind to he found on a better plan. Al.hough it is the fruit ot the 1 ibors ot so many individuals, it is apparent in every line which of the contributors is responsible for every part of it. The basis of it is the invaluable folio dictionary of Dr. Johnson. To this several thousand words with their definitions were add ed by Air. I’odd, in his improved edition of Johnson’s large dictionary. This improved dictionary was abridged by Mr. Chalmers, by the omission ot the passages cited as authorities, but retaining all the words and definitions. Tn this abridgement has been added by Mr. Worcester the pronunciation of all the words found in W alker’s Critical Pronouncing Dic tionary, as i: is explained in that work. The • pronunciation of such words as are not con tained in Walker’s dictionary is given bv M>. Worcester, in conformity with the piinciples of Walker’s Principles of English Pronuncia tion, and his remarks on the pronunciation of t particular words, are also given entire. Every addition made by Todd, and all the remarks added from Walker are clearly distinguished in the text. In this volume are contained also !. Johnson’s Prefaces to the folio and octavo ■ editions. Todd’s Introduction, Walker’s Pre- I ice, and his key to the Classical pronuncia tion of Greek, Latin, and Scripture names, a . list of authors cited, and various other matters, coniposiag is ull u volume of 1188 pages, and ’ embracing u gre stur ammifit of ti/ormation for fully tlt'.deistanding, <>nd t orrlictiy writing and speaking the English language than any u ther ,volnme extant. Il .is in fact what every man needs, wlio reads or writes, a complete manual ol the English language, resting on the j ( iiighc-st authority which can be named and ar ranged ,in the most complete and at the same lime.,disiinct form which can be devised. There are other works which will serve the same purpose in an inferior degree, TTut there is no other which is so complete, embracing : all the objects showing at one view the meaning, ■ tlie etyn'toloy, the ertlmgraphv, and the orthoe py of all the words in the language, and there : is no one which on the score of authority is so ; well entitled to be appealed to as a standard., I . We know not how wc can Letter promote an ! accurate knowledge and a correct use of the i English language, than by recommending a-ge ' neral use of ibis diction iry. It is we believe al ready io extensive use, as the number of edi tions of it which has been sold attest, it is particularly recommended to general use by being sold at a very low price for a work of i the size and style of execution.— Bus.

TilE DUEL. The Boston and P ( evidence p tpers have a great deal to siy concerning a sillv aflair that was git up on Sunday the 16in ins . at Cumber land, in Rhode Island by fom sdiy blockheads troiii Boston. The following letter published in the Rootle Island America;!, cuiiiaiits the particulars; CI’MUERL.VS’O, IK’C, 17, 1832. I" r lend Moirrij.— I here send von an ac count of wh it I consider a shameful affair. Yesterday four men came out of M iss.ichusetts nt two chaises, into the northerly pm of this towii, and stopping at Hie bouse of one of my neighbors, inquired if they were in Rhode Is- I ni'l'ot Connecticut. On being told they weie in Rawdo Island, they rode a short distance and stopped, and alter listening their horses to the fence, got over into an adjoining pasture where they stood talking for some time. At last two of them began to undress, but before they had got through, there attention was arrested by some cattle that were in the suite pisture, one of whom seeing strangers, sent forth a sort of threatning noise ot wonder, on hearing which one of the other gentlemen went and recon-' noitered, and returned with a report that there was a bull there, which, by the way, was not the cise. 1 hey then picked up their clothes, and got over a wall into another pasture, followed at a short distance by a number of boys, whose cu- I riosity; was excited by these strange proceed- ! ings. Here they finished undressing them- 1 selves, taking off their very shirts. ° At this i junctu e the youngest looking one of the two ' seemed much agitated. One of the boys says, he cried properly,* and that oneolahe other men gave him a bottle to di ink out of two or ( three times. Iwo pistols were now producer! i and the two shirtless men stood tip, backing 1 eachother about a rod apart, with their pistols in their hands, at their sides. Soon after something was said by one of the other men, and Loth the shooters turned round and fired—- one rhen he had got half way round, and the othet without raising bis arm. The bullet | from the pistol of the tot mer probably came i very near one of the seconds, though he stood sonic way off, as he exclaimed, “damn you, don’t bit me.” Two more pistols were now brought out and - the fighting parlies stood up as before. The second who had expressed himself apprehen sive of being hit, looked out for himself bv 1 getting behind an old tree. The combatants turned round and fired pietty much as before, and the one who fired downwards, immedi itelv fell to the ground with a terrible scream. The two seconds ran and picked him up, and it ap peared that a ball, whether fiom his own or his opponent’s pistols is unknown, had entered his leg which bled profusely. llis attendants put hid clothes as List kS possible, and the ini- ■ huit one dressed himsell, forgetting, however, , in his trepidation lo put on his strut, and all j concei ned cleared out with great speed, evi- I dently fearful of being taken by the neighbors, I carrying ell a Luce stake, which was pulled up for want ut lime to untie the halter, and leaving behind a very gouii shirt and a pistol bullet that was picked out of the ground, near where the wounded man stood. On getting- into their chaises, they drove off with great violence, and alter driving abouf a mile, met an inoflensive old neighbor of mine with his grandson in Ine road, to whom they ..presented their pistols, with a vollev of oaths, tbreatning him with instant death, if lie tried to {stop them, the thoughts of doing which they must have known hud their thoughts allowed them to consider, could pever have entered his head. AV ho these rascals were is not known. They had long beards on their upper lips, and were decently dressed, and made off towards Bos ton. | From the St. he ais Free, Press. 1 | A HUSBAND WANTED.

The writer, who was several long days on the wreck, [ has given a very clear account of the hardships which he endured —We extract the thrilling! ' sketch annexed from the body of his narrative. I "On the third day after we took refuge in the fore top,” he remarks, “a barn.l of corn meal floated from the vessel, and we Lad some little hope of relieving ottr hi.rigor, but it was so saturated with salt water <n to be ol no use to us.

'I his poor fellow was perfectly deranged before he fell. At one time he would swear titgdt profanely, and at another would pray. ‘I sometimes found ’my own mind wandering, and beset with imaginations about eating and drinking, in one of these intervals, it appeared to me that I was suddenly placed on land; and was drawing pitchers ol water, which, however, I r.-uuld never fill. On the morning of the filth, a coloured man who had been very frantic foi some lime after many desperate and convulsive struggles died by my 1 side. Five of us now remained, and we consulted ! together whether we should cut up the body of the dead man, with the view of finding here , and theie a drop of blood to moisten our parched ' mouths. It was agreed to make the attempt, ami ! one ot the sailors who had a Knife commenced the ■ cutting, but alas, not a drop of blood could be i found. The spectacle too seemed horrid. The glaring | haggard eyes of die dead man appeared to be d£ ! reeled to us, and was a sight too dreadful to be witnessed. We determined that it would be bet-j ter for us all to perish, than to sustain life in such away --The man was therefore thrown into the I sea. This day a most fearful looking cloud ap-1 peared in the horizon, and we had the prospect of j being buried speedily into the deep when these words came comfortably to my mind.

The Baroness of Steinberg, founerly La dy Newborough has published a pamphlet,un der the title of “Maria Stella, m ihe criminal exchange of a young girl of the highest binb for ( a boy of the lowest condition ;” in which she denies the legitimacy of Lotiis Philippe, and as serts her own claim to ihe-ilir'one of Fiance. The facts alleged by-this lady, abridged from the Caladonian Mercury, are, that in 1773.-the Duke de Chartres; afterwards Duke d'Orleans, alias Philippe Engalite, travelled in Indy with the Duchess do Chartres under the name of Joinville; that during the Duchess’s accouch ment they stayed at Modiglinia, where she was delivered of a daughter; that M iria Stella, af thewards Lady Newborough and Baroness Stein burg, is that same person, and is accordingly : Mademoiselle d’Orleans; that she was by her real father, the Duke de Chartres, exchanged J with the jailor, Chiapini, fora boy, of whom Madame Chiapin : was delivered about the-s ime i time ; that Louis Philippe King of the French is that same boy; that'the Duke de Chartres’ i motive for making the exchange was to secure lin his family a considerable property, which would have gone past him to another branch un i less be had male issue ; that the Duchess de !

BOW TO ItAVP. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE. The Exeter News Letter relates an anec» i dote calculated above any thing else we have seen, to show how a man may preserve a-clear conscience that shallunswer die purpose- in time of dangerous illness. It appears that a certain man was taken dangerdusly ill, and betraying great symptoms of despondency and mental dis tress, sent for a clergyman whom he would make a sort of fither confessor-—The minister per ceiving his despondency; kindly inquired if any very benious sin lay near his heart. The poor fellow replied with a deep diawn sigh, that there did indeed the knowledge of a very henious sin pray upon his heart. Have you been an unkind husband ? asked the clergyman. No. A t vianical father ? No. A treacherous friend. —No ; (nit I did a great ileal worse than eith er. Pray what can it be ? have you broken any commandment ? No, I believe not, re plied the dispairing sick man, but alas ! I Lave taken a newspaper a year and neglected-to pav for it ! The News Letter adds that this eentlenian , was not one of his subscribers. 5 . The best wav in which a man can testify his 5 ! approbation of an Editor's industry or ability, is Jto take bis paper. Praise is always gratifying . i —but liberal patronage is far more ’so ;it is ab . j soltHely indispensable. ‘1 like your p iper very I much—l approve of your course emit eh-- , you write a well turned paragraph—that wasan able article’—all these aro pleasant sayings withal to tickle the ear of an editor ; but we as sure you, gentle reader, the simple ui,ieciion, ‘Send your paper to so and so,’ has fir more I ntifsic in it. It speaks home, it is the act of : support and not the profession. I In that part of Peru called V’allies, which lies j on the north and south side of Lima, i+i south j latitude 12 degrees, bounded on the east by the Andes, and on the. west by the Pacific.Pcvan, it nevei tains at all. But during winter the earth is covered with so thick a fog as to-inler copt the rays ol the sun- This fog appears ah most .every day during winter with* a density tint obscures objects at any distance. About to <» ii o’clock it hepinfc io rise, but' without being totally dispersed, though it is tlrerj co im pediment to the sight, intercepting only the di rect rays of the sun by day and thc-stars-by.. night. Sometimes it is so far dispersed, that the disc of the sun becomes visible, but the heat from liis 'rays is still precluded. Ju the winter season these yapurs dissolve into a very small mist or dew, which they call garuas, and thus eyety where moisten the cart h. These garuas never tall in any quantities sufficient to damage the roads or incommode the traveller ; bus they 'render arid and barren parts feilile. Thev convert the disagreeable dust in the’streets of Lima into mud. N jtv, in that countiythe wind always blows from the sbuth, that is, from a coldet to a warmer region. Sometimes it veers a point or two to the cast. But it always blows between the south and south-east. When the fogs come on the south-winds is barely felt, and a scarcely perceptible aii seems to co imp from / the north, which forms the fog. . The obvious reason why it never rains in that country is, that the wind constantly blows from a colder to a hot ter part of the world. We see also the cause of the fogs ; they are occasioned by the mix ture of the hot air from the north with the colder air from the south. Female lovliness cannot be clothed in a more pleasing garb tbau that of knowledge. A female ‘ ’ us * ,rr:, ) e d is one of the most interesting object* of creation. Every eye tests upon her with pleas ure ; the learned and the wise, the young and the aged of the opposite sex delight in her society, and .i hr. to her character respect and veneration. Ig norance and folly stand reproved in Iter presence, and vice in his bold career, shrinks abashed at her j g ize. She moves the joy, the delight, the pride of W the domestic circle ; she excites the praise—th-;.* admiration ol the world.
