The only per sons now living, that I know of, who at tended his school, are Dr. T. T. Wilbers, Capt. David James, and Picsion Willis, who will at any moment certify to the fact. > arona never relumed to Europe, but lived, until within a few years, at Germantown, and though somewhat eccentric, was n very clever and agreeable gentleman, but there hung a mystery about his history which his inquisitive neighbors sought in vain to unravel. ‘Veroua,’ it was thought was an asumed name, wile died a tew years since, and his‘body, was disinterred and carried to foreign,parts by strangers, about four months after, in a leaden colfin. The Duke was an accomplished artist and very fond of pencil drawings. Robi. Ran dolph, has now in his possession an ad mirable likeness of Preston Willis, done in crayon by the Duke. The Duke was al so an excellent shot, and the identical gun with which hc commitled such havoc n- mong the partridges is now the property of Wm, Dnlany, Esq., and is highly prized by him.

On nearing the land, he discovered a vessel very similar to his own, in size and equipments, which was iiunirdiaielv re cognized ns the pinnace of Mr. Qlditnm, who had sailed with a crew of two white boys and two Narragansc!

In the midst °f mv glee, who should suddenly appear within a few yards of me, tinperccivctl tilt he made his tremendous, “Whoo, Whoo, M lioo,' 1 but n huge Ourang Oulang, look • ing to be some six feet high ; with a broad riuck breast, athletic arms,and awhile face, lor let those remember w ho Ottrang Oo long us, that a large majority of these ani mals hove white, and not black faces.

A canoe, conveying goods, and manned by Indians, had also just sinned for the shore. Gallop now’ began to suspect that Oldham Imd been overpowered by the savages; a suspicion that was confirmed hy the Indians slipping their cables, and running ofTbefore the wind, or in the di rection of Norrnganset Bay. Satisfied that a robbery Imd been committed, Gallop made sail in chase, and tunning alongside of the pinnace, in n spirited manner/ lie fired n volley of duck shot at the savages. The latter had swords, spears and "some fire arms, and they attempted a resistance, but Gallopdrovc them below to a man. Afraid to board in the face of such odds, Gallop now Imd recourse to a novel expedient to dislodge his enemies. As the pinnace was drifting with noone to manage her, site soon fell lo lccwnrd, w hile the sloop hauled by the wind. As soon os the two vessels were far enough asunder, Gallop put his helm up, and ran directly down ou the weather quarter ofthc pinnace striking her with so much violence as to come near farcins' l)er farmed (be Indians, who were oil an shot, anil others alive, and they were al most all while, Imiry faced fallows. 1 do not intend to say by this that the white, man is the intermediate link between tin and the lower animals, but only that there are while faced Ournng Outnngs.

Had volt been there to see me run, you would hardly have thought me just then ft lame man. 1 assure you I got over the muddy, slippery path to the best of my a- hility.

In ac cordance with this practice, the following description of our Saviour, was sent by Pub lius Lentulus, the then Governor of Ju dea, to the Emperor Tibebius C.esar. 1 have only to remark that the copy from which this translation is taken, was for merly in Lord Kelly’s library, and I have no doubt it is still in the possession of some one of the late Lord’s heirs. Lord Kelly’s copy is directly from the original of Pub lius Lentulus, at Rome. The authen ticity of both can be ns well established as any act of the last century. H., Jr. LETTER. “There appeared in these, our days, a man of great virtue, named Jesus Christ, who is yet living amongst us, and of the Gentiles, is accepted for a Prophet of Truth, but his own Disciples call him the Son of God. He roiseth the death and cureth all manner of diseases. A man of stature, somewhat tall and comely, with very rev- crcncd countenance, such as beholders may both fear trod love.

Doct. Waring said that he h id observed the patient closely and that he could only see a small muscular action about the nose ; no other motion was ex hibited. Doct. Wilson concurred in this opinion. Docts. North and D’Alvigny al so concurred, and thought it a sufficient test of the complete insensibility of a person in the magnetic state. Afler the operation, the lady was conducted back to her seat, and was demagnetised. When asked what had been done to her, she was entire ly ignorant of the whole matter: and on being requested to put he finger in her mouth and feel for her tooth, she for the first time found it was out. This islhe second lime this operation has been successfully performed in this city u- pon persons placed in the magnetic state by Prof. De Bonneville, without their evinc ing any pain whatever.

California.—There are at present three new expeditions about to start to Califor nia ; one from Fort Smith, on the Arkan sas, of about one thousand souls, under the. charge of Mr. Leave}!, and another under the command of Maj. Russell, of Missouri, embracing many emigrants from Kentuc ky; and another under the guidance of Mr. Grayson, who leaves Independence, Mi. into Ins own sloop, stripped the piniuice of her in tow, and nnulcd up for tlie islands again. But the wind increasing, the pin nace was cut adrift, and she disappeared in the direction of Narraganset Bay where it is probable she was stranded in the course of a few hours. On board the pinnace, Gallop found the body of Mr. Oldham. A LARGE OURANG OUTANG. The New York Commercial contains some copious extracts front the Luminary, published at Liberia. Among them is the following account from the pen of Rev. Mr. Richards, of an enormous ourung outang, that had been playing off some pranks in the neighbothood of the Mount Andrew Mission, and was at length shot. He meas ured between five and six feet in height: “Tuesday before lost, a man went to cut some timber for his new house, nnd by some means disturbing the ourang, he salli ed forth upon him very angrily, obliging the poor fellow to leave his axe and cloth, and swim the lake to save his life; which his hard swimming liked to have cost him any how. Lost Wednesday morning, an other man was chased over a hundred yards by the beast, which, holding a club in his mouth, came very near overtaking the poor fellow. The same afternoon, another man was made to leave his rafters in the woods and fly, and running over a stump hurt him self very much. On Friday last, he took possession of aw old woman’s farm where he remained all day. That week I heard of tho death of Mr. George Crawford, and was advised to go down to Monrovia, and settle some bu. siness. I hir :d three men; one carried ray drawn from the potatoes in the hot bed, and planted in the ridges about a foot apart, fey putting about a pint of water iu the hole in the ridge opened to receive the vine, they will grow right off; so that if water can !>c had conveniently there is no need of wailing far a season, as they say. Indeed, we have found vines set out iu this way, in a very dty time, and under a hot sun, grow belter titan those set out as they usually are. Then as to cultivation: about the time the vines begin to spread rapidly, and if possible when the ground is wet, wc fill in between the ridges with leaves from the woods. This is all the labor expended in cultivation except to pull out any gran or weeds that may spring up on the top of the ridgss, the leaves effectually prevent ing any such growth between the ridges. We are perfectly aware that the use of forcing frames is altogether unnecessary in all the country below the last falls of the rivers in South Caroliua, Georgia and Ala bama ; and even in the district of country immediately above that, on large planta- lions, it might not be profitable to use them. In such situations, the common hot-bed without glass may answer zdl purposes.— But in the range of country in which Ath ens is situeted and in all the country above that, inhabited as it is, more by farmers than by planters, nnd in which good pota toes are so seldom seen, we are confident the introduction of forcing- frames would be attended with great benefit. Such, at least, is the result of our own experience. But in every situation, below the falls, an well as above, we are quite sure that the planting in ridges running horizontally, so on the Ifith of April, for the valley of Sa- clothes, another some riceand prqvirions, cremcnto, in North California. and the third * j was to help nie over the wa. as to retain all the rain that falls; and the filling in between the ridges- with leaves, will be found !» be a very important im- K inent on the old plan of planting ia which we roust think is the very worst p&a that coaM be adopted.—C«!f.
