Scientific Memoranda—Mariner's Compass,
The attractive property of the load
stone lias been known in all ages.—
Thales, surprised with so constant an
effect, asci ibed to i^ a soul. Plato, A-
ristotle and Pliny, mention this attrac
tion, but neither they, nor any other,
down to the beginning of the twelfth cen
tury, knew that the loadstone, suspend
ed, or floating on the water, by means
of a piece of cork, always turned one
and the same point, toward the north.
Even the person who first remarked
this, went no farther ; he had no idea of
the importance or usefulness of that won
derful discovery.
Some virtuosi having acquired a know
ledge ofthe above properties in the load
stone, turned them to their own advan
tage, by imposing their tricks upon the
simple, under the pretence of magic.—
They made a little swan, which being
hollow, floated upon the water, carry
ing in its beak, a lizard, or young snake.
The swan pursued a piece of bread,
hold to it at the end of a knife, the point
of which was touched with loadstone.—
This greatly surprised the spectators,
who were unacquainted with this fact,
while it enriched those who had pru
dence enough to keep the secret.
A poet ofthe 12th century informs us,
that the French pilots made use of a
needle, touched upon the loadstone,
which the called La Marinctta. Soon
after, instead of floating on water, the
redneles by means of straw or cork,
which the motion of the ship agitated too
much, an intelligent mechanic thought
of suspending the needle exactly in the
centre, upon an immoveable point, tlut
it might have full liberty to play and
turn towards the pole. Another me
chanic, in the 14th century, laid over
the needle, a light circle of paste-board
on which the four cardinal points and
principal winds were delineated, and the
whole circle divided into 360 degrees of
the horizon. Tie little machine, sus
pended in a box, was hung pretty near
like the mariner’s lamps, and hnswered
the expectations of the inventor, for,
however the ship might change its situa
tion, the needle always turned to the
north, distinguished on the paste-board
by aflower deduce. The other marks
pointed out the course that was held,
and the winds which they were to guard
against.
Several nations have contended for
tliis invention. The Italians say that
Elavio Gioioa, a Nepolitan, in the year
1302, made the first compass that ever
was seen. Tfce French assert that even
in the 12th century the needle was in
use among them, and refer, as a proof
of this, to the north point, being marked
with aJloTi-c deduce. The English, though
they do not claim the merit of the ori
ginal discovery, pretend that they bro’t
it to perfection, by the manner of sus
pending the box, which holds the need
le. Others give the honor to the Chi
nese, who are known at an early period
to have floated their needle upou cork
as formerly practised in Europe. Tin
fact appears to be, that, as is the case
with several other inventions, no one
knows the name of the inventor. Many
probably, had a share in it, till it arrived
by little and little, to its present state of
perfection.
Besides its inclination to the north
the needle has two other motions ; one
of declination, by which it recedes some
degrees from the true meridian line of
the sun’s shade at noon; the other of
inclination, by which it bends its north
ern point towards the earth, as if its be
ing touched with the load-stone added a'
weight to that end. In consequence of
this tendency downwards, it is necessary
to load the south end, to keep it hori
zontally poised, and in true equilibro.
The knowledge of the loadstone’s
peculiar properties, carries us from one
end ofthe earth to the other, and acorn-
pass not larger than a dollar, is sufficient
to steer into our ports, the productions
of the four quarters of our globe. It is,
indeed, this invention, brought to per
fection, in the 14th century, which gave
rise to the revival of Geography,of trade,
of nutural history and true physics.
*' AH for Love."—A Mr. Ferodi, in
Boston, put an end to his existence by
stabbing himself. YVc learn the follow-
ing particulars of his case, which, howe
ver romantic, we have some reason to
believe are true : Mr. Ferodi was an I-
talian by' birth, and about 50 years of age.
His person was by no means attractive,
yet his manners and address were pre
possessing. He obtained a living by
teaching the Italian language, and among
Ins scholars was a young lady of respec
tability ami fortune. The literary iuttfr
course existing between the preceptor
mil bis lair pupil, led to prepossessions
of a more tender nature, and it is very
possible, that Ferodi read Petrarch with
reat effect ; in short, they fell in love
with each other, the graces of the maid
having a paramount influence in the cs
timation of the lady over the defects of
person, & they agreed to marry private
ly. The father ofthe lady having some
suspicion that the zeal ofthe master wai
unusually warm, discovered the inten
tions of both, and not being pleased with
he alliance, he found means to induce
Ferodi to leave the United States, and as
he thought, forever. After an absence
abroad of some months, and offending
his resutices Ferodi returns to Boston
presents himself at the house ot his fair
mistress, and is denied admittance. Poor
and friendless—neglected by former ac
qunintance, and shunned by her he loved
he determined to put an end to his exis
tence in a manner corresponding with
that wild enthusiasm which distinguishc
his countrymen generally.
He armed hirnselt, and as the story goes
he repaired to the house of his mitress
iscended to the drawing room where he
found her alone playing o:i the piano.
His presence, the agitation of frame and
vehemence of gesture alarmed her ex
cessively, and lier shrieks brought into
the room a female relation—the young
lady escaped by another door, and Ferodi
embarrassed and bewildered, tired a
pistol, wounded the lady, then stabbing
himself in several places fell dead on the
carpet. This is the story related to us.
Some of his friends in a Boston paper
declare that he had no intention of injur
ing any person but himself. It is a me
lancholy tale, but, “ omnia vine it amor."
[A’. K. NaU. Advocate.]
YVc learn, in addition to the article we
published yesterday, relative totho death
of Ferodi, at Boston, that he had, while
attending the family of Mr. li. as a teach
er ofmusic, declared himself to be an Ex
General of Bonaparte’s late army, and
produced printed and written documents
in proof of his pretentions. An enquiry
was instituted to ascertain the truth of
these assertions and his papers were
discovered to have been fabricated in
Boston. He was then taken up as a
swindler, and after a short detention, dis
charged, on condition that he would sail
for Surinam, and was fairly shipped off.
Some time after, he appeared again in
Bo-ton, but be was considered too uuim
portant to require further notice. Fe
rodi, however, one afternoon, went tu
the house he had before been in the habit
of attending, and inquired for bis former
pupil. From the want of presence of
mind in the person to whom he addressed
himself, he was told the room in which
the young lady was to which he immedi
ately repaired ; and after a slight oppo-
siton, succeeded in entering. He then
presented a pistol to the young lady,- and
at tlie same time drew a dirk. With the
the latter he mortally wounded himself;
and the former would, in all probability
have been equally fatal to the intended
victim, if he had not fortunately neglect
ed to prime the pistol after loading it.

King, we doubt not, bail at tlie time some
ccollection of an important event in In-
reign. Soon after the commencement
ot the American devolution, an English
projector, in order to disparage the ce
lebrity of Franklin's Lightning conductor,
published an elaborate work to prove
that the invention was not complete ; and
proposed that balls should be added to
the points of the Conductor, to embody
a large quantity ofthe electric fluid ; and
pass it off harmless.
The King was pleased with the tho’t,
tnd had some of the conductors of his
palace altered agreeably to the sugges
tion of the projector. Some time after,
in a thunder storm, not only the King and
the projector, but many others in the
Palace to which the blunt Conductors
were affixed, bad a melancholy proof of
their insufficiency, in the great injury
which that part of the Palace sustained
from a holt of lightniug ; and the British
Blunts were immediately changed for the
American Points. The wits of the day
did not faii to profit by the event : ami
we well recollect to have read in the
Morning Herald, the following epigram
on it:—
“ While you, great George, for trifles hunt
And sharp conductors change for blunt,
The .Nation's out of joint.
Franklin u wiser sdheme pursue?,
Ami all your thunder harmless views,
By sticking to the point.”

Anecdote of the late King George
The following anecdote of the late
British King, (extracted from the M. S.
journal of an American Traveller) has
never appeared in print :
In a morning stroll, in the autumn
of 1804, through the streets of Wey
mouth, (the well known summer resi
dence of the King,) chance brought me
within a few paces of his Majesty, who,
on his return from a ride with two of his
Court, met Sir James Cranford, who
had been detained a prisoner in France
many months, and who had recently es
caped from thence :—The King greeted
hirn most corJially, and went on in his
usual rapid manner, to converse on va
rious subjects. Speaking of the Peace
of 1802, lie remarked, that the first new
he had of it was on reading in a newspa
per that the treaty was signed : and
that, dropping the paper, he exclaimed
“ Good God is it possible." “But,”
he
added : “1 always thought it was an ex-
yeisimental Peace ; and now we are at
war again, we should not have so many
objects in view at once. Let us, Sir
James imitate the policy of Washington
and Franklin, who always stuck at one
point.' On saying which he raised his
right hand in which he. held his whip,
seized it with his left, and made a for
ward thrust with it, suiting the action to
the word.” This anecdote, so honora
ble to our two illustrious countrymen
uiu^ be relied on as authentic. The

YorU,on the 3d nit. Mr. James Woodruff,

main beastly drunk for nine days and
nights, without eating, and, if ho survived
that length of time, that he should finally be
saved, lie accordingly furnished himself
with a barrel of whiskey, of which In* par

To ALFRED CUTIIBEKT, Esqciu*,
Sir—Your announcing yourself a cundi-
date for Congress, may be considered as im
plying that you are prepared Tor any fair in
vestigation of your former public conduct.
There is no fact perhaps Letter established,
than, that we are the hist who hear ill of
ourselves. There are reports afloat, rela
tive to you, sir, which, if true, are calculated
to affect your election. Perhaps you have
not heard them, or, if you have, it has been
under circumstances which would not au
thorize you to defend yourself publicly.—
Then, how deeply will you feel indebted to
me, to tell you what part of your public
conduct is censured ? But, sir, 1 do not ex
act any acknowledgment from you. 1 do it
“pro bono publico," for the “good ofthe
service.” If it should appear, sir, thut you
have nut been guilty of impropriety in office,
the people w ill be benefited by the inquiry.
If you have—the investigation will be a pub-
lic'good. For either you do not deserve the
accusations made against you—or, if you
ffo, the. people ought to know you
I will not ask you why you resigned your
seat in Congress in 1818; for every body
knows that it was because you were not re
elected. The justice.of the “lex lalionis," or
law of retaliation, is universally admitted ',k
you, undoubtedly, had the right to revenge
yourself upon the people for turning you out
of office. In that daring act of yours, sir,
you shewed Ihe people that you would not
suffer them unpunished to treat you with
indignity ; and, no doubt, they will profit hy
the severe lesson you gave them. Get into
Congress now, sir, and they will never again
have the. effrontery to turn you out. A
burnt child is said to dread the fire. But to
proceed;
Querc 1st. Why-were you absent froui
the election of Governor, iu 1817, vvln-n R.-i-
Imn was chosen ? And were your colleagues
there ?
Querc 2d. Did you not say that you could
have prevented the |uis»age of the hill for the
transfer of the steam-boat charter ?
Qucre 3d. Did you not say that the addi
