THE CASKET.
Office of the Philadelphia >
Saturday Evening Post. $
THERE is issued from this office a month
ly publication, entitled the casket, or
FLOWERS OF LITERATURE, WIT AND SENTI
MENT, containing, each number 32 octavo
pages, printed welt, on small handsome type,
upon the finest paper, stitched and cov red,
and furnished at the low price of TWO DOL
LARS per annum. The Casket is a collec
tion from the cboisest pieces of the Saturday
Evening Post, made with a reference to tbe
difference which should exist in the materials
of a weekly paper, and those of a monthly
publication, the former of course enriched
with essays, poetry, anecdotes, and those set
off by a recital of the occurrences of the week.
The latter can receive little value from a mere
detail of events, many of which would cease,
to be interesting before they were recorded.
The vast quantity of matter crowded, by
small type, and careful arrangement into the
columns of every number ot the Saturday Eve
ning Post, will in the course of a month, fur
nish the most ample materials from vvhich the
an interesting periodical work such as the
Casket has been considered by its partial
friends and such as we intend, it shall be. —
Notwithstir&ng the fact, th .t tbe Casket is
but a collection from the columns of the Sa
turday Evening Po,?t, we confidently predict,
and indeed we are sanctioned in the experi
ence we already have, that its numer
ous patrons will be found among the subscri
bers to our weekly paper. —A large liomber
of those who take the “ Post” depend upon
.‘hat paper for the news of the week—it is
therefore read ” with aridity by almost every
member of the family where it is received,
and this general use frequently injures its
appearance so much as almost to render it
unfit for the file, and for binding. The num
bers too, by this general use, are not unfre
qucntly lost, mutilated or entirely destrqyed,
and the file thus broken. —The Casket is cal
culated to prevent this inconvenience, and to
furnish, at a very cheap price, all the useful
matter for vvhich the weekly paper would be
desirable when bound.—ln thus giving a pre
manent form and select association to the
choice pieces of our weekly contributors, it is
confidently anticipated that new and success
ful inducements will be held out for the exer
cise of superior talent, and unusual care in
our literary department.—ln addition to the
recommendation of neatness in the general
appearance— and particular attention to the
typographical execution, it is our intention to
embellish each number of the “Casket” witb
a handsome Engraving from the hands of
some of the most distinguished artists of the
country. —The next number, which will be
issued on the first of October, will contain a
view of FORT M‘HENRY, with a brief no
tice of the events connected therewith. The
portrait of the venerable JOHN ADAMS,
one of Longacre’s best engravings, could not
be produced in time for this number—it will,
probably, be deferred until the commence
ment of the year, when the work will receive
several important improvements.
With these claims to patronage, tbe “Cask
et” will, as has been previously mentioned,
be afforded to those who subscribe for that
paper exclusively, at the low price of $2 per
year, a subscription, which it is confidently
believed, is much lower than that for any oth
er publication of a similar character in this
country—but to the subscribers of “ The Sat
urday Evening Post” “The Casket” wiU be
furnished for $1 50.

w ill interest themselves to obtain subscribers,

MASONIC CONVENTION.
HE COMMITTEE appointed by Re
solution of tbe Grand Lodge at its
■ communication in December last, “To
meet in the Tow - n of Milledgeville, on the
Saturday before the first Monday in March,
(inst.) for the purpose of examining the re
turns of votes for and against the Convention,
and ascertaining the result," met pursuant to
said Resolution, and opened and compared
the several returns which had been received
from the several subordinate Lodges, and de
clare the following to be the result of the said
returns, viz : Three hundred and nine in fa
vor of, and seventeen opposed to a Conven
tion.
The Committee, therefore, give notice to
the several subordinate Lodges under the ju
risdiction of the Grand Lodge of the State of
Georgia, that from the returns received, it
appears to be the opinion of a majority ofthe
subordinate Lodges, that it is expedient to call
a Convention of Delegates to meet at the Seat
of Government on the Friday after the first
Monday in Dec. next, for the purpose of form
ing anew Constitution for the Government of
the Grand Lodge, in conformity with the Re
solution of the Grand Lodge, in the following
words. “Resolved, That if on counting said
votes it shall appear that there is a majority
in favor of calling said Convention, it shall
be the duty of said Committee, or a majority
of them, by advertisement, in one or more of
the public Gazettes of this State, and by 8
Circular addressed to each of said subordinate
Lodges, to announce the result, and direct
the said subordinate Lodges to appoint each
two Delegates (whomust be Master Masons)
to represent them in said Convention.”
The undersigned Committee, therefore, an
nounce the result as above, and hereby direct
each chartered Lodge under the jurisdiction
of the Grand Lodge, to appoint two Delegates
of the degree of Master Masons to represent
the same in said Convention.

MISCELLANY.
STATISTICS OF OHIO.
Ohio contains 40,000 square miles,
and about 25 1-2 millions of acres;
she is divided into 73counties, which
contain, on an average, 548 square
miles each. In 1820, she had 581,
434 inhabitants, but now probably
contains 850, 000. At that time
149,991 of the citizens were enga
ged in agriculture, 18,950 in manu
factures, and 1,469. in commerce or
merchandise. At the rate of her
increase the ten preceding years,
perhaps the amount engaged in each
now would b , in round numbers,
20,000 in commerce, 30,000 in manu
factures, and 200,000 in agriculture.
Ohio sends 16 representatives and
senators to congress, and 72 repre
sentatives and 36 senators to her
own legislature. There is in Ohio,
4 supreme and 9 circuit judges.—
The state is divided for military pur
poses into 14 divisions, containing 48
brigades, and consequently 14 major
and 48 brigadier generals. The
whole number of militia fit for duty
in the various lines of cavalry, infan
try, riflemen, &tc may be computed
at 150,000 men. Os each there
are reported in the adjutant •geuer
al’s office :—infantr/ and grenadiers
99,997; cavalry 3,292; artillery 1,
530; total 104,819. Public arms
have been furnished by the United
States for a small part of these, the
rest are armed with those of their
own. The arms reported to the
adjutant general, are 16, 782 mus
kets, 19.574 rifles, horsemen’s pis
tols 2,131, swords 3,786. Ordiance.
5 iron sixes, and 2, four pounders,
Trade. Ohio possesses no foreign
ornmerce ; her exports, whic li are
chiefly flour, pork, horses, neat cat
tle, whiskey, tobacco, &c. are taken
to her sister states, from which she
receives in return the various neces
saries and luxuries of life. Her prin
cipal navigation is on iake Erie, and
the Ohio river. The former of
which washes the nothern, the latter
her southern shore. The principal
harbors or landing places on lake
Erie, are. at Put-in Bay, Maumee Bay
Sandusky city, Cieaveland, Grand
River at F lir port, aqd Ashtabula
Creek Here are two light houses,
one at Fair port, the other at the en
trance of Sandusky bay—Sandusky
bay has the best harbor, and enjoys
more commercial trade than any
other point on lake Erie In 1825,
the amount of vessels and steam
boats that arrived here was 285.
Bet w r fen 40 and 50 schooners and 4
steam boats navigate lake Erie.—
These two are the principal water
craft. Ohio canals. The first ofthese
is, in its circuitous route, 307 miles
in length, and extends from Ports
mouth, on the Ohio, to Cleavland,
on lake Erie. The second canal ex
tends from I)uytoii to Cincinnati, and
is 67 miles in length, making a total
0f373 nines of canal naigatiou; three
fourths ot each ofthese will be finish
ed in 1828. The remainder between
that and 1829, so that the whole dis
tance will be fit for navigation in 18-
30. The cost is estimated at a little
more than three millions of dollars.
The number of hands employed is
between 5 and 6000. Roads. The
roads are good in Ohio, considering
the ‘general levelness of the land—
there is only one turnpike out ofthe
many incorporated in this state.—
This is 48 miles in length and is lo
cated from Warren, in Trumbull
country, to the mouth of Ashtabula
creek : The stock last year yielded
4 1-2 per cent to the proprietors.
Literature, Common schools are
generally diffused through the state
of Ohio; the higher branches of edu
cation at the same time have not
been neglected. There arc between
12 and 15 academies, with 7 incor
porated colleges and universities ; 3
colleges only now in operation, viz :
Athens, Oxford, & Western Reserve.
To these may be added Kenyon and
Cincinnati, colleges. The Ist, for
instruction in theological, the second
in the medical sceiences. Newspa
pers. The number of these is 62 ;
one of which is daily ; they issue a
bout 60,000 sheets per w eek. There
is also a medical repository printed
at Cincinnati, Tost Offices. The
post offices in Ohio are 504 in num
ber. Financial. The amount of taxa
ble property under the law of 1825,
is as follows:—lands, 15,143,309
acres, valued at $37,714,225; houses
valued at $1,549,889; town proper
ty, $7,321,034 ; horses, 138,074, val
ued at $5,517,810; cattle 274,689.
valued at $2,201,093; mercantile
capital, $5,202,400 ; carriages valu
ed at $20,885 ; making a grand total
of a little over fifty nine and a hall
millions of dollars.
fcZAN hat a march of power and of
improvement is manifested in the
preceding 1 Within the perfect re
collection of middle aged men, Ohio,
and all beyond, was the home ofthe
savage—hardly ever trodden by the
foot of civilized man—now it has a
third rank, because of its physical
strength, among the states of this
union. In 1830, .it will contain not
less than a million of free persons;
when its canals and roads are finish
ed, and manufactures shall have pro
gressed as they will—when the po
litical systems to which her people
are so much devoted, shall be in full
operation, the state will still go on to
i.ucrease in population, wealth and
pow r er, with as great rapidity as ever
for many years to come. The state
of New-York, Pensylvania and Ohio,
located as it were in the centre of the
union, and having very nearly a com
mon interest, because of their natural
advantages, productions and people
must, indeed, have a great influence
over the policy of the United States,
when acting together to promote the
furtherance ot what is directly inter
esting the themselves.—[A7/es’ Reg.
"Oreat Falls,N. Hampshire. —“ This
little thrifty village, which is situated
on Salmon tails River, about five
miles from this place, seems already
to outstrip the most sanguine expec
tations of its enterprising founders.
Although of scarcely four years’ ex
istence, they have an extensive manu
facturing Establishment, four Fac
tories, one of wood, 5 stories, 35 feet
wide and 63 feet long; one of brick,
5 stories, 45 by 156 feet; one of brick

of brick, six stories, 48 by 390 feet,
recently erected; and several smaller
buildings, occupied for the manufac
ture of carpets, dyeing, work-shops,
&ic. &c.; 6 extensive boardinghouses;
a spacious and elegant brick Hotel,
3 stories high ; about ninety dwelling
houses ; and upwards of sixteen hun
dred inhabitants. Two stages run
daily from that place to this ; and
one stage runs through that place to
the interior of the countv of Staf
ford twice a week. Andlast, though
not least, an elegant Church is to be
shortly erected there.”
The Portsmouth Journal has fur
nished an account of the New Mar
ket Establishment, in New Hampshire
which is growing up to importance,
and giving employment and activity
to a population of a thousand persons
although only one factory is yet in
operation - In this factory are daily'
manufactured 1100 yards of cotton
cloth. Another is nearly completed
vvhich will manufacture 2500 yards
daily. Another will be completed
next year. The factories are of im
mense size, and built of stone. When
the whole are completed, it is calcu
lated they will manufacture about
1,500,000 yards of cloth in a year It
is already known to our citizens, that
lliis immense establishment, which
will employ probably a capital of 5
or 600,000 dollars, is principally, if’
not w holly, owned in salem—and that
besides this, a considerable amount
ot Salem capital is employed in manu

JACKSON MEETING.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 15
We arc gratified in presenting to
onr readers to proceedings of a pub
lic meeting of the friends and sup
porters of (Jen. Andrew Jackson, held
at the Court-house in this city, on
Tuesday evening last. The meeting
was one of the largest ever held for
political purposes in this place : and
we believe a greater number of the
•riends of Gen. J. were present, than
had ever previously assembled in tlu
eountry for a similar purpose. We
assure our friends throughont the
Union, that the cause so the people
is steadily gaining strength in thi
state, and that the number of Gen.
Jacksou’s supporters is constantly in
creasing. Not a man, to our knowl
edge, has deserted the cause since
the last Presidential election ; while
numbers have united with us in sup
port oft he Hero of New Orleans. It
is true, we have to contend against
the power, patronage, influence and
treasury of the government; but we
have a just and righteous cause on
our side, and the issue cannot be
doubtful. —[ Republican
Interesting Anecdote of Curran.
It was at an early period of his
hte that an incident occurred, which
moulded his future fortunes, and
which he frequently used to relate
to his friends in nearly the following
words—“l was then,” said he “a
little ragged apprentice to every kind
of idleness and mischief, all day stu
dying whatever was eccentric in those
older, and half the night practicing
it for the amusement of those who
were younger than me. Heaven on
ly knows where it would have end
ed! But as my poor mother said, I
was born to l»e a great man. One
morning I was playing at marbles it
the village Ball-alley, with a light
heart and a lighter pocket. The
ibe, and the jest, and the plunder,
went gaily round; those who w .
laughed, and those who lost cheated,
when suddenly there appeared a
mongst us a stranger of a very ven
erable and very cheerful aspect; his
intrusion was not the least restraint
upon our merry little assemblage ;
on the contrary, he seemed pleased
and even delighted ; he was a benev
olent creature, and th days of infan
cy (after all, the happiest we shall
ever see,) perhaps rose upon his
memory. * God bless him; I see his
fine form at the distance of half a
century just as he stood before me
in the little ball-alley in the days ot
my childhood. His name was Boyse ;
he was the Rector ofNewmarket; to
me he took a particular fancy ; 1 was
winning and was full of waggery,
thinking every thing that was eccen
tric, and by no means a miser of my
eccentricities; every one was wel-
come to share them ; and I had plen
ty to share after having freighted the
company. Some sweet-meats easily
bribed me home with him. I learn
ed Irom poor Boyse, my alphabet
and my grammar and the rudiments
ofthe classics : he taught me all he
could, and then he sent me to the
school at Middleton, in short, he
made a man of me I recollect it
was about thirty-five years after
wards, when 1 had risen to eminence
at the bar, had a seat in parliament
and a good house in Ely-place, on
my return one day from Court, I
found an old gentleman seated alone
in the drawingroom, his feet placed
on each side of the Italian marble
chimney-piece, and his whole air
bespeaking one quite at homo. He
turned round, it was my friend of the
Ball-alley ! 1 rushed instinctively in
to his arms* I could not help burst
ing into tears. Words cannot de
scribe the scene which followed. You
are right, sir : you are right,thechim
uey-piece is yours—the pictures are
yours—the house is yours : you gave
me all I have—my friend, my father!
He dined with me, and in the even
ing I caught the tear glistening in his
fine bine eye when he saw his poor
little Jackev.the creature ofhis boun
ty, rising in the House of Commons
no reply to a Right Honorable. Poor
Boyse *. he is now gone : and no sui
tor had a larger deposit of practical
benevoleace in the Court above.
This is his wine—let us drink his
memory.” Such is a very faint and
very humble imitation of the man
ner in W'hicb Mr Curran used to re
late this most interesting era in his
history, and he never recurred to it
without weeping.— Lon. Paper.
Military.- The Marblehaed light in
fantry, commanded by Lieut. Avery,
marched into Salem, and had a din
ner. During the collation, informa
tion was received that an old revo
lutionary soldier, who had fought
with La Fayette, and for the liber
ties of our country, Benj. Berry, jr.
by name, belonging to Andover,
was incarceroted in the stone jail for
a trifling debt. A coll ction was
immediately made among the mem
bers of the two Salem companies,
and a few other gentlemen who
were persent, and the sum required
ior his liberation ($22 18) was ob
tained. A committee repaired to
the jail, released the old veteran,
(88 years of age) and accompained
him to the Hall, where he participa
ted in the refreshments and fertivi
tes. He departed for.his home on
Friday night, with his heart ea ed
from a load of care, and his pockets
heavier for the bounty of onr soldiers.
The following was one of the toasts
drank on the occasion:—“ A gag,
double irons, bread and water, and
Salem jail, the proper clothing, food
and lodging, for the heartless man
who would incarcerate for a paltry
debt, the hoary headed veteran who
assisted in gaining the Independence
of our Country, and the liberties we
enjoy.”—[AT. Y. Enq.
Russian Etiquette. It is inpossible
in Russia for a man of character to
go out—although it be only to next
door—unless in a coach drawn by
six horses, —a state which becomes
sometimes almost incon
venient. “ The first day on which
I conformed to this practice, (says a
writer), having a visit to pay to a
lady who occupied the next house
to mine, one of my postillions had
already entered the gate of her
dwelling, while the carriage was
still under that of my own.”

From the Mediterranean.- —The
brig Caspian has arrived at Boston
trom Smyrna, which she left on the
loth ot July. By a slip from our cor
respondent, we learn that a division
of the i urkish fleet of thirteen sail,
including a 74 with the flag of the
Captain Pacha, was entering the
Gulf of Smyrna on the 17th, It was
conjectured at Smyrna, that they
would rake troops on board and make
an attack on Samos. The fleet is no
doubt the same which was stated in
our foreign news on Thursday to
have been frustrated in their attack
on the island. The Caspian .wars
convoyed from Smyrna by the U. S.
ship Ontario, and spoke the Perpoiso
in the gulf, bound up. The North
Carolina and Constitution, were at
Mytilene, on their return from Tene
dos, where the Captain Pacha par
took of an entertainment on board or

Drunkenness. The Newport Spec
tator in referring to Mr. Loi>e,iu’s
curing Drunkards, says, “We knots

cally cured by his wife, as often as
about once in six weeks. When the
fits come on, she puts an emetic into
nis dram, which effects a cure for
the time; and in order to remove
temptations out his way, she drinks
up the rum herself” —[j‘s.

Monday the 2d, and Monday the Sth
inst. (seven working days) it receiv
ed five large vessels. The fir-t a
Scotch brig which occupied three
out of the sev n days, having occas
ion to shift her copper. In the other
four days there were four ships of va
rious models, from extreme sharp
bottoms, yet from the rlaiurc of the

ami another commingon without any
alteration in the carriage, the pro
fits from these sev* n days work could
not have been less than seventy-five
dollars a day. The inventor, we are
informed, intends to exhibit a model
of the railway docks as intended to
be erected at the shore of tho heights
of Brooklyn, with all the recent im
provements, within a few days, of
which notice will be given.
