In what we have hitherto related, we have confined ourselves lo facts which are univer sally acknowledged; hift there are oilier points of the story that have been stated in very op- posito ways, and have given rise to much doubt anil dispute. Tho machinery for which Arkwright took out his patents, consisted of various parts, his second specification enumerating no fewnr than ten different contrivances ; hut of these tlie one that was by far of greatest impor tance. was a device for drawing "out the cot ton front a coarse lo n finer nnd harder twisted throud, and so rendering it fit lo.bo used for warp us well as w.cfl. This wns most ingeni ously managed hy tho application of a princi ple which had not yet been introduced in nny other mechanical operation. The cotton was in the first piuce drawn off from tho skewers on whic.U'it was fixed, hy tine, pair of rollers which wore made to move nt a comparatively slow rate, and which formed into tlironds of tho first nnd coarser quality, hut ntu little dis tnnee behind the first was placed n second pair of rollers,' revolving Ihreo, four or fivo limes ns fast, which took it op when it had passed through Iho others, .the effect of which would he to reduce life thread to a degree of fineness so many limes greater than that which it ori ginnlly had. , The first pair of rollers might lie regarded ns tho feeders of the second, whii' could rcceivn no moro than tho others sent to them; and that, again, could he no more thnn theso others IhemacU'cs took up from the skotvors.

CANAf, TUAVKI.UNG. New. York, Feb". 20th, 1332. Dear Tim,—After looking about Albany,ns f WjfSIo you Inst summer, Ft hough f I'd tako o' trip u little furdcr up country and so offl star ted. Tho first'(ilm-e I 'went to, is called Troy, settled mostly hy Connecticut folks who ore up to trap and know a thing or two, 1 tell yo It is a.protty considerable slick looking place und‘I should think it pretty good doing theft You'ctm jo'st'toll this to’Joe Rice who hi been waiting to transmigrate West somctitni —he'd do well at butchering there. At Troy I went uhnurd a canal boat to go up the Northern canid to Whitehall, a'place righlni tho lower and of Champlain lake. You nbiti, which makes it look just like one t laid upside down right "on top of nnotlicr pretty comiculdmikmg thing-I tell yon. i crawl into thy cabin at each: end of tho unt and yrm can just stiiml up in it without though a si.vfootcr frdtn Vermont double up n little. It isn’t very touc i scats nro i d along the , md the tables in the middle, hut at night presents a very different sight as I will toll you buneby. The wpmen folks stay down stairs all iUy long and amuse themselves with knitting nnd looking »ul of the wiudows on (he sides of the canal—the hunt you sec is below the surfuco of the land and when oped op like u pureel of cliiekctis, whoa tlipy. might he enjoying tlip fresh uir and the prospect on deck- Util’ i reckoned without my host, I guess—! didn’t know no moro about cunnt travelling than the child unborn. Rut stop a moment, let me tell you how the runnj boats are moved along, for they don’t go by desm, -ails, paddles, nor none of (hem sort of contrivuiice#—they are drawn by hor ses, as regular as ever you saw a stage ora wagon. Tliere is a narrow road running along the bank on one side of tho canul, and the horses,sometimes three nnd sometimos more, trot ulong this, single file, all harnessed to gether and the hind one harnessed to tho boat by a long rope. A hoy sits on the hind horse and puts on the whip when they wont it, to kill. I guess it would he pretty going in theso ere canal boats, if it want for the plagy brid ges they keep going under. You see the ca nal runs right in a straight line and so passes through ever so many farms, and nt each of these farms a bridge is made over the canal to drive the tennis across. Theso bridges are just high enough lo let the honts go-under without touching, and when you come to ono of them the passengers on deck have to tail on their face-. Oat as pancakes- nod squeeze ulong under the bridge, and that’s tho reason why the women folks don’t like to slay on top of tho cabin—cause why ? it would he fl pret ty curious sight to see them dropping down in this way every ten or fifteen minutes, to say nothing of (heir big sleeves, which I don'l be- licvo would gel through onu of. these places without stopping the boat nnd tearing the bridge all. to pieces. I was plugily frightened Urn first bridge we went under. I guess llicro was ns many as 20 fellow's of us on deck, nil sorts and sizes, and we stood chatting together when all of a sudden the man.a steering cried out, “ Rrid; hridgo !” In a twinkling cygry fellow drop ped ns if he’d been shot, and I dr.opt too, not knowing what under the canopy to make of it. The next momont we wore, going right under the bridge and I kind of hitched up n liltlo t. see how it h*n!i,-A. wlicri, hy the iioky ! one sido of my coat tail catchcd in the timbers and away it went as clean as a slmved dot. After wo got through the bridge nnd oil our legs again, the rest of lln> passengers got round me and began to sympathise in mv loss. I wanted the captain to put. back and let me get iny cunt tail, but he said he didn’t put hack for no body—that one man Imd got liis arm carried away nnco just like my coat tail, and ho knpt right on and loft it dangling under the bridge till next day. “ Yaw-, mynheer, I lint’s a fact I” said a great fat Dutchman, taking his pipe out ofhis mouth and puffing a whole cloud of smoke right into my faco.. “ Fact or no fact,” says I, “ you ought to make uu allowance for the loss of my coat-tail, or else the passengers out to contri bute to innkn it up.” V Hear the Yankee,” says iho Dutchman, 41 lie’s up to his turn tricks—he’3 best a part of his coat tail and now wauls lo cut offdn captain’s and ours just like do fox in do’fable !" I foil plagy mad with tlie old Dutchman and gnve'liim a bit of my mind—but you cam get a Dutchman mad any moro than a .graven imnge—they keep smok ing nnd smoking and smoking, and if you get tho better of them in arguing, they’ll let out the smoke on you till you havo to givo it up, and then.they claim the victory—but the Dutchman got the laugh on -himself pretty well after dinner ns I’ll tell you. You see the Dutchman who lived some where ijp the country, had travelled on the canal afore and know to a fraction just what bridges he could go under, ond .wlmt be could not—he was so plagy fat ho could no 'more get under some of them, than'an elephant could get through an empty flour barrel. The old fellow nto liko a horse nt dinner—T sup pose to got Ms money’s worth-—and thatjnnde him n littlo moro robustous than usual, that ho did’t mnhe the proper allowance in his measurement when be came to go under the bridges. There he stood with tho rest of us nn deck, with liis hand in his breerhes pocket and his pipe in his mouth puffing and -sweat ing in tho sun just liko a great fat gruntcr. Ilimeby the ward was given 11 Rridgo I bridge! down we fall,’'ono and nil, right on our faces, and the boat wns shooting under the bridge, H'lieu crack ! she scorned lo strike and floun der and the limbers oyerhoud to screak and shiygr ps if they were coming right on top of jtsf \" 41 Oh ! o-h—oil!—mine got!—fliiuo pipe ! mine pody I O-li—ol^l” roared the Dutchman ns lustily,ns n* two year old hull. “ Stop the boat I stop tho boat!” cried the steersman— but it whs ton late,—tho host had rubbed through, and uii'nf ns hut tho Dutchman were jr legs again. tere lie lav," flat on his face, to all appear ance as dead as a ham door, though ho kept puffing nnd pulling ns if ho was still smoking. As soon tis we could, wc raised him up on cud when ho opened liis rnouth and spit Tun the fragments of his broken'pipo and four or five teeth nlFcovcrcd with blood. IVe next went to work to strip iho'Dutchman, to seo if "ho Imd experienced any intornul bruises—we got ofi* one pair of brunches, and then another, and another, till lit hist wc gave it up ftir a bad job, not knowing how many pair tli« old feller had on, Finding himself relieved of so great a load, he got up Httd appeared qaile cleverly, and it want long afore he gnl a new pipe and sot down' in thestern of the boat and went smok ing sgnin. hut he looked aiu'azmg flatted down like. I guess it was tlin breeches' that saved his life—jn rv.y nation that’s the reason the Dutchmen always weur so many pair of them ; it were- turned into beds, and over them was atiothcrtier of beds hung tip by cords—I guess in all about thirty of thorn. Wo had to draw cuts for tho beds or berths, ns they are calied, though faith! they like to luve been the death ofsomo of us as you shall learn. I drew No. 1. and the fat Dutchman No. 2.—and as soon as we two had drawn otir beds, the Captain steps up to me and savs he, 44 you’ll pleaso to retire, sir. “ Retire !” says I, 44 not hy two chalks ! I mean to stay here all night—I’vo paid my pas sage, and 1 guess have as good right to a night’s lodging as*any of you.” The passengers all laughed nnd looked pla- gily pleased to see mo so spunky, and so tho” captain kind of. turned it off— 41 Ob, you don’t understand me,” #ays he, “ I mean .you will plea3e to undress and go to lied—No. 1—tho top berth there—that’s yours.” 44 I guess I understand you,” says I, “ I’ve travelled aforn now, and ain’t lo ho humbugged in this way— I shant go to bed till I nm ready, sir!” 44 Rut my dear sir,” says he, trying lo coax me, ihero are special reasons for your going In bed first.” 41 Special reasons I why don’t you give them then ?”— 41 Why yon see what narrow apartments we have here? here’s 40 passengers to be stowed away sooiewliere— we must puck in the side ones first and then we can spreaj) the beds in the centre, and to do this every man must take his berth as he draws it, that’s the rule of the boat—come I’ll lake nffyour coat sir !” says he- “ You’ve taken off the tail already,” soys I, “I’ve no notion of being 'imposed upon—d’ve think I’m going to trust mysclfin that rickctly thing thut you call a bed—the strings uint strong enough to bear me—let the Dutchman make the experiment, and if it hears him, I’ll try it.” “ Well, you decline the berth, do you 7” say# the captain. For the present certainly,” says I. 14 Then you nrp entitled to it," says lie lo the Dutchman. 44 Yuli! ynh ! I’ve been this way ol'ore and know all about it—the Yankeo is one pig rownrd, every inch of him;” “Then you are a whole hog coward, I guess,” savs I, “ if I nm nothing lint a pig one." A Dutchman can’t understand u joke no more than n cabbage-head, and so he looked tm grave ns a mec.tinu house, and begun to undress quite deliberately. When he got all ready, he pulled his rod night cap over his face just like a fellow going to he hong, and up It" jumped like an overgrown hull pad duck plump into his berth. Tho bed groaned for u moment. uiKjA the load, and the next moment the slriugTsnnpl liko tow, and down came the-bed,. bedding, Dutchman and all plumn inloTne middle of the cabin floor. I never henrd such a shout of laughter afore, nor since—the Dutchman roared nnd kicked— the captain raved, statnpt and swore—for my part I forgot the loss of my cont toil, ond thought I should have killed myself wilh laugh ing. 44 You’ve upset your apple-cart now,” says t as soon as I’dc done laughing. “,Ap plo cart I” says the Dutchman, picking him sell' up. “ I don’t sec no apple cart here.” 44 The Yankee is joking.” says the captain— “ here,” says lie to me, 44 lot us Ituve no more of vour sarso,—npplo-sarac, nor .no other kind >f sarse—come, mnvcyourself'lo bed.” “Not lilFthe Dutchman is'gonc,”says I, uod with that he got same big ropes nnd tied tin tho Dutchman’s bed again and got him into it,and theii.lied a rope round him and made it fust to a spike ill the wall. 4 ‘ There, that will do,' says I, and (hen I undressed and got into the berth below ns quiet as n lamb Giiy - thing| Iho King, with his usual plain goad sen*,, ' weighed the question in all its bearings, ;ln( j while ns a Frenchman, lie sawn!! the advan tages of depriving England of the brighter jewel in her crown,he yet, up a King, dreaded tin, effect so dangerous on example.of repub licanism might have on tlie mind; of a people over eager after novelty and change. ' A bold step on the part of Frunklin, accele rated the decision ofthe King. The Ameri can envoy, having become, weary of the- re peated delays he met with, wrote peremptorily to tlie minister, requesting eill or a formal re ply to his mission, or passport for, his return home, within tho ncit.Jeur-axd ticeuty hours His terrified colleague expected no less than an order for their commitment to the Rastilo as the reward of such temerity; but his fenrg were agreeably dissipated, when an answer arrived signifying that the government had al length resolved upon recognizing as n nation, those who wc.ro in open rebellion against their paront country. This step necessarily involv ed a declaration of war against England, sin? due preparations were accordingly made. Its first commencement was glorious to Franco from tho splendid action between loti frigate called Lit Belle Poulr, commanded by AI. do lu C)oehejterie,who bravely sustained tho con test with sevoral English vessela'—Dit lJar ri's‘J\Iemoia. Evening.—There arc two poriods in the lift, of man, in which tho evening hnuris.pccuhnrlv interesting—in youth and in old age.

To youth, evening is delightful; it accords wilh the flow ofhis light spirit#, the fervor of liis fancy, and the softness ofhis heart. It i# also the delight of virtuous ngo ; it affords hours of undisturbed contem plation ; it scorns an emblem of the calm nnd tranquil close of busy lift,—Serene,: placid and mild, with tho impress of its Creator stamped upon it; it spreads it; wings over the grave, and seems to promise all shall be peace beyond it.
