■Economy in Cooking. An account was copied from the I’liilosophi oal Magazine into the Emporium of Arts and Sciences published at Philadelphia, of tome experiments made on a large scale ' sn dressing meat, that appear to be entit ’ led, in the opinion of the scientific editor of the latter work, to the fullest credit. Bolton intelligencer. 280 lb. of beef lost by boiling in the com' m.,n way, 73 lb. 14 oz—or 23 1 2 per cent * 190 lb. of beet lost by roasting 61 lb. 2 «z — or 32 P« r cent ; 90 lb. of beef lost by bak ing 27 lb—or 30 per cent-, also by roasting from 31 13 to 35 12 per cent. Ttie*e experiment* decide the point that the economy of conking is confined to stew ing meat in close ves»<-ls, where the liquor in which the meat is boiled shall be saved, •n i by the addition of cabbage, carrot, on i • rnip, &c. with flour, form a part of the ***!u)ng continued gentle heat, whether in roa tn g or boiling, (or moderate simmering) renders meat much more tender, juicy and d.gt alible. A French peasant dines about m* day i when hi* meal it over, he pula into the atew-pan with a close cover, the meat („ 24 hours. A furnace that would hold a -.Hon ,f charcoal, and permit the »tew pan to c exposed three fourths of its depth to the h-at of the fire, would he an invaluable pres nt to the poor : and It could be cheap ft made at any iron furnace or any potiery. Wood in this country )» very dear in the t iwna, and the extravagance of the back town* is not obliterated in the cities. How often have I seen a quarter of a rord of wood heaped on to boil a tea-kettle !

Generally, however, It liny be laid down as an axiom, that where fu I i* at a moth rate rate, iteving is the must frugal, and 1 believe the most whole ■oin , and may be made, by far the moat pa burble method of dressing fond. • When a poor man purchases meat, the consideration of most moment is not the puce per lb. but the relative quantity of nie*t and bone—next of fat and lean. In point ol nutriment, fat is worth twice as much as lean j for candle* and snap, thrice as much. Even beef stakes may be cheap er to a f our man than the cheapest joint of the ix. ■ some experiment*have been made by a Mr. W. Scrinr.shirc on the enmparitive waste in the bulling and roasting of potatoes. Four potatoea were boiled in the usual way, and then steamed to drive oft - the vtiprrflu ous water, and render them mealy.

' A potatoe of the. same kind, weighing 1220 grain*, roasted tinder hot embers, but not sufficiently, lost 200 grains when cold. A' Otlu i, weighing 1198 grains masted for 11 2 Ii ur w is found thoroughly cooked, but it had lost when cold three hundred and eighty grains. • Hence, ill boiling potatoes, w-e throw a way about two percent, of their weight: in r lasting them, about 40 per cent. • The common breakiast beverage in this country is coffee. 1 have no hesitation in •lating it as a tact, lhat to a poor family three pounds of tlrird succory (chicory, chicori urn fituhu-) and one pound us coffee, arc o' - 20 per cent, inure value, than f mr pounds of c fjv r, and nearly equal in flavour: to m<, the beverage is pleasanter.—The quail lily of the mix tire to be u-ied, is about one fmt-'h le-s than -I c flee, to make an infu sion of equal strength.

He waa compelled to say something, and he said What lie could, as learnedly and with as much appearance of acienlitic theory aa he could; but it is very worthless. Darwin knew somewhat about the practical part us eating, and Dr. Sydenham and Dr. Ilrown (whom I knew in the decline of his life) had discovered from their own feelings, that wine was bad for gout and stone, and that the best beverage was brandy and water.

A gentleman of this town has la elv pre sented to the library of the University at Cambridge, a copy of the magmficient work on Egypt, prepared by the members of the Institute attached to the French expedition j in that country. The publication of tiiis j splendid work was begun in 1811, and near- ; ly finished under the government of Napo- i leon j it has been completed at the royal expense- The whole work is divided into three general departments of Antiquities, Natural History, and Prevent State. The portion of the work containing tne text is in several volumes folio, and the plates are partly i.i very la-ge folio, and partly in what is called the Atlantic form, being, we believe the largest engravings ever attached to a 1 ; book. Their mag nticsent size, however, is j j their least merit, as they are universally al- I I lowed to equal, it not excel 1 , all other prints of the ki id. The gen ral charac‘-r of this w-Tfc may he estimated from the f dlow ng opinion expressed of it, hy one i f the most compet- til judges in Europe. Speaking of uha had then appeared, he says: “ llie storms of the age often exci’ed ap ■ prehensions i f the interruption of his s, len did typugiaphieal enterprise.

We have b en favored by Prolessor Black burn with a pi ru>al of Ins Southern Ram bles, eoiitauiing his notes made during a tour through me st.de in 181 b, from which I we extract an animated and poetic descrip tion of die Vale ofjocassa and the While Water, situated hi Greenville district. We hope it will m some measure compensate for the interesting, and to many of our readers 1 unintelligible controversy, rea ing to the eclipse: Me would not exchange this sin- ( gte article for a 1 the polcin.cal writings w hich our columns ever did, and we had al most said ever will contain, it cannot tail to prove interesting to the lovei of rich ima gery and beautilul description. We shall make some further extract from the AIS. in our future numbers. •• F.oin our camp near the Chat tig a, one of the head w aters ot the Savannah, in lat. 35 deg. N. I made an excursion to visit the vale ol Joeassa. It was only four Hides ills taut, but a mountain intervened wlucli com pelled my hooter guide tom.ike a circuit of ten or a dozen miles, crossing deep and nar row glens, siu| winding along the tops of ridges, the ascents and decents of which were so abrupt, as irequemly to obi ge us to dismount; at length, alter a very tire some mut, w e reached the vale. “ This titty Arcadia is about four miles in length, and from a quarter to a half a mile w.de. I lte land is rich and well timbered ; the beech and American poplar, in particu lar, large and beautiful. It is watered by the .locsssa, which rcc. ives the While Water neat the northern extreme ot the vale. I lie White W ater precipitates ilsell over a suc cession of tails extending a few miles, roa - ing through the infracted rocks, dashed from steep to steep, and teaming till it at length reaches a more quiet though stiil stony bed, and rolls its pure translucent stream along the vale. Tins vale contains seven families, who have settled here within the last two years ; they sre properly speaking, widiout a y legal jurisdiction, as they live w ithin the In dian territory. 1 hey dwell in small log ca bins meanly built, as they are all new set tlers. Some of the comforts, and indeed, nearly all the luxuries of life arc in a tnea sure excluded, t hey live On bread, milk ai d flesh, w ild or tame, but most generally the spoil of the chase, they have neither lawyer nor physician, for liny need no aw, and die medietaal plants ot their mountains, are amply sufficient for their scanty list ot diseases. One supreme blessing too is theirs they have not a slave amongst them. They are clothed in the work of their own hands, for they ply the bu-y w heel and shuttle, am the deer supplies the mccasins, the leggms. and not unfiequently the vest of the huutei "A little learning too it theirs, thougi not to them “a dangerous thing;” near t the village school, and in a gione of lolly overshadowing trees, we found tlie boys j play, in the noonday recess. The girls les.- confident retired, but peeped at tire stran gers from their sylvan retreat. Happy pei pie, secluded Irum the ills of polished ant. luxurious life. •• I’lie vailey is encompassed by bids am mountains, so rougn and precipitous that i it inaccessible, except by tw o er three atccu winding paths, and the encircling hills so high that the clouds sit upon their summits, and seem to spread their wings, to shade the uvored and sequestred spot. “ The view of Joeassa, as I looked down into it on my approach, reminded me of the rural prison of Kasselas, prince Os Abysmia ; but this was no prison—a finer image pre sented itsell : I thought on Milton's paradise, guarded by high umbrageous walls, and wa tered by delicious streams, the sweet abode of innocence and peace. “ The stream cilicd the Devil's Pork-, en ters the valley near the south end, and min gles with the Joeassa. It is so named from the deep glens and dark enlarg ed sbadcs through which it flows ; fit haun a, in ru-oc estimation, for demons and genu. Nc.r is this little spot without irllie claim to the his torian’s notice ; for here stood once an In dian village, but the wh.te de,trover came, and the Indian fell by Ins sword. Even now the hunter points where the i\d warrior bled, and shows his grave. At the aoulu end the valley narrows to a defile ; the Indians . had fortified the pass with abbaltas, but lef. the river open ; our troops advanced in si lence under cover of the night, killed the watchman whom they foui d asleep, pushed j tip the stream and destroyed tne town. “ Having had a glimpse of ihe White Wa iter Kali from about six miles distant, 1 con cluded that a c'ose view of it must be highly interesting. A few gentlemen of our c nt ; pany and myself formed a party to visit, at the same lime, the valley and the fall. We. set out from Major M’Kcnny’s, the last house in Souih-Carolinn, and pursued our rout along the margin of thq Texaway, in a path accessible only to horsemen or foot passen gers. On our riglit the 't exaway rolled its , pellucid current over a pebiy bed, in pleasu g ! murmurs; and on out leit rose almost per ! pendicularly the rocks and lid s, covered wi li evergreens ; the Rhododendron, the I Kalmia, and the Magnolia, wiloly and beauti fully luxuriant. In tlie valley we procured guides to lead us to t e to it of the falls. “ The White Water derives its name from : its numerous cataracts ; that one by which it flings itself into the vale, is transtendaiilly be.iitilul. At one place called the Pncn, | the water rolls over an even iedge of rocks, forming ail uncommon elegant ca-cade, about j 20 feet perpendicular, and creating a wind that keeps the foliage below in constant mo tion. The brilliant whiteness of the water through its whole descent, contrasted with ; the hues of the surrounding scenery, has an | uncommon edi ct, and justifies the"appella- I tion by winch the river is distinguished. ] “in describing such a .cei.e of beauty, | one feels at a loss for adequate Words „nd , images Some compared it to cotton thrown j from a machine, some to a river of milk, but j i it would be in my opinion, no easy task to , convey a correct idea of it in language or in j painting. I found the whole scene suited to ; produce sgrceable emotions, and 1 became a poet. “ Ah who can forbear that sweet valley to ! praise, Thru’ which the Joeassa meandering strays, j Embus lin’d in mountains delightful retreat, Whee health and contentment have choaen their seat; Where law is unknown, as in primitive times, Ere wealth was ador’d, fertile parent ot crimes; Where freedom, like air, is in nature’s free plan, The choicest of blessing bestow’d upon man. And thou lovely White Water, what pencil can shew, The beauties display’d by thy bosom of snow f Niagara may boast of the grand and sublime, But thou dost the pleasing and awlul com. bine : Language fails to express, nor can fancy con ceive So charming a sight as the wild dashing i wave. Jocasia sweet stream, may thy banks ever be, From the evils of vice and luxury tree. The vally is about twenty miles west of Table Rock, and though not worth a long j voyage, is certainly worth a trip from Cliar ! leaton. Should the rhymes be objected to, I l> tit be understo. d that in the college of Eutopia, during my apprenticeship, my mas ters taught me nothing but amalgams, gasses, tulminations, detonations, and a heap about how I was to distinguish a queen Ante far thing from a inedal of Qtho, mighty usetui matters, to be sure in our swamps, but very poor pabulum lor a mind susceptible of the beauties of Akcnside anti Campbell. 11 I would not have it thought that I am too romantic. It is a long time since we had shepherds and shepherdesses. Snivelling Philips’ pastorals are out of fashion, but we have pastoral life upon a bolder and merr manly scale. Ido not think that any of our seaboard folks have a right notion of a hunter by trade, it would scare them a little to see a fellow slip the /title from a bear and then slip himself into it; the whole ready made suit in one piece, to fit body, legs and arms without the aul ot Mr. Shears anil thimble. Robin son Crusoe was a mere clown compared with this sort of dandy. Foreign Intelligence. From late London Papers received at the Uriice of the N. Y. Daily Advertiser. Buona^avtc. Extract of a letter, tinted Paris, Sept: 8. “ I din d yesterday with Dr. Antomar chi, Napoleon’s physician. You will allow that one cannot help feeling a great interest in conversing with a person who has given the last drops of water to such a man, and I therefore readily accepted the inv.tation to meet him. The Doctor was very circum spect ; but I have collected many interest ing glea fr m conversation with him, winch t give you as 1 got them. “ Buonaparte occupied himself often with gardening ; and under his immediate super intendence bowers anil grottes were erect ed in the garden at Lo igwood. General Bertrand, Madam Bertrn id with the chil dren, and Dr. Antomarclii, assisted him on such occasions. His usual dress was that ofa Chinese gardner—nankins, .md iarge straw hat. Within the last eight months of his hie, he scarcely inure out, and «>, ob liged either to res: on the sofa, or in his easy chair : he suffered considerably, and was. so consequence, exceedingly morose : he had lost lull two-thirds of his corpul- ; ence. *’ His last words certainly were “ Tele,” 1 ” Arrxee,” hut witliout any connexion ; for what he uttered was in a convulsive s;ale, and no other words could be distinctly un derstood. “ During his illness his son was the prin cipal topic of Ins conversation ; ne never conversed on polities, at least the Doctor said *o. Two priests wet-e sent to him by his mother, one an old man (Bin navua,) and the other a young man. 'l'nt- first could not hear the climate, ana was obliged to return to Europe. Since arrival n ass was read every day, at long»-o<d, and the Doctor said, II ett mart en bon Chretien.’ 1 Buona parte expressed much diarist at tfi'e old priest’s smelling of disliked smelling and smokers. He had entirely left off taking snuff. You have seen it noticed in the papers that he sent a present to Lady Holland. The circumstances that led to it are extremely honorable to her Lady-hip. Lady llol'and vt- never personally known to Buonparte, but since Ids confinement she lias been unremitting in her altenium to him, by constantly providing him with articles tor in. table w Inch she thought would be agreea ble to him j also by stinting hirn books, and contributing in many other way to Ins do mestic comfort. lie Sent her a Cameo of great value as a token of gratitude; it was a snuff-box which the Pope prtseoted to .Na poleon. “ In contradiction to all the anecdotes in English and other newspapers, the Doctor as-ured me that the Emperor (he never c. lied him otherwise than I’En per*, ur) nev er had any female attendant in h:S household nor Was any one in attendance on him during his confinement at St. Helena. “ Tin- veneration with which the Doctor spoke of him is beyond any thing of the sort 1 ever witn. ssed. Speaking of Ber'rand, he always sti es him le tirand Marechai.’ Ma dame Bertrand w s always a towed to enter his room without being announced. Napo leon was quite resigned to die in St. Held a. 4 He often conversed with Antomarclu of events of his earnest age, and recollected the most trifling acts of his childhood : tha Doctor being a native of Corsica, they ge ,e --rally conversed together in the idiom of the is'a.d, winch was quite familiar to N;,p le< n. The house at Longwood was exc. edingly so all and uncomfortable. and dan.p beyond conception ; the m-w house was no yet fi nished, and it was Bonaparte's intention, had he hved, never to inh .b.t it. “ The library of Napoleon consisted of the best classics, and through the kindness of Lady Holland and other friends, he had a i fresh supply of what was new and interesting every three months, sent to him unde. L' rd i Bat lur-t’r seal. Dinner was aiu a) s served on the plate {service d'argent) with the Im p-ral arms on it, off which he dined at St. Cloud. “ Dr. Antomarclii found a proper stone on the island, with which he had prepared plas- I ter, ami succeeded very well in takimj a e it 1 of his bust after his death ; unlortunateiy it i had been shipped to Leghorn, e'.-e I m.ght, , perhaps, have had alight of it. The Doctor [ has intended it a present to the mother of : Bonaparte, whom he styles Matlame Mere. “ The hair of hi 3 head as well as his beard 1 had been shaved, ami sent to his relations, ; his household each retaining some small ! quantity of it. The Doctor had a 6niall lock lofit in a broach 1 had it in my hand, and I confess, and am not ashamed t say so, that my feelings were very acute at the moment, and 1 perceived something like a tear in my eye. The Doctor could not obtain permis sion to embalm the body,nor would the Co. vernor (Sir Hudson Lowe) al ow any inspec tion. The remains were first placed in cof fi of tin, then in one of mahogany ; these tw o in one of lead, and the upper are again i.i mahogany; all four were well secured, und r the inspection of Dr. Antomarchi/ “ 1 could not learn any thing respecting the I fe of him .elf. which Bonaparte was said to have written ; but it is probable, at all events, that nothing was done in it after the arrival of Automarchi, as he declined in health these two years. Montbolon, who came over with Ucitrand and ins taint y. h. * permission to return to France ; but Ber trand, who had been condemned to death /,ur cantumace, has n t yet received that per mission. Dr. Antonia, chi brought over Ilia journal of the two lust year* attendance on Napoleon ready for publication. Several of the London booksellers were anxious to ob tain it, and I think lie said that lie had sold them the copy right, I'hc Doctor, who ia about 32 year* old, was sent out to St. Hele na by Letitia, mother of Napoleon. “ I'he poin'. on which I was most anxious to obtain information was the cause of the non-appearance of the D rtor’s name,, aiong with the rest of the surgeons to the official report of the causes of his death, and the ap pearance of his body after it.
