Masonic.—The Installation of the Hon Stephen Van Rensellaeraa Grand Master, of the etatOjof New-York, has been celebra ted with great pomp. A long address was delivered by Past Grand Muter Clinton, from which is extracted the following state ment of the number of lodges in that state. “Free masonry has flourished exceedingly in-the United States, and especially in this *>Ste. In 1781,* grand lodge was esta blished in the city of New-York, under oKartor from the grand lodge of England. A four yearn afterward* an independent grand lodge was instituted ; and there are now in the state near five hundred lodges, and met* than 1,000 chapters." Th* Salem, N. J.

The Directors pledg* themselves to the public, that there Bo just cause for alarm ; that the institution i, io a prosperous condition, and tho company fully able to meet every engagement with the community. fuve existed id that country between the native leader*, add between thoee leaden and the foreign officers engaged in their “office, have no doubt retarded the esuse materially. But, thus far, they have had among them no officer whose chartoler.hu been sufficiently distinguished, andwhq,h*e sufficient ttlent to influence the r conduct, or to direct measures of sufficient importance to secure any valuable object The Greoke want practical men—men ofen- terpriie—not visionaries and enthusiasts, whose effort* eveporate with tho first difficul ties, which ere encountered.

The importance attached to correct information as to the Great Lakes between this, country and Canada, by the British Government, may be judged of by this expensive and laborieu undertaking. A society has been organized in Baltimore, under the title of the “ Anti-Slav* Society.” whose object is to obtain the passage of a law, declaring that slaves born in Maryland after the 4lh day of July, 1826, shall be free the females at 21 or 25, and the males at 30 years of age. At the late election, the anti slave party nominated Daniel Raymond, au tlior of a work on political economy, as a can didate for tho State Legislature, and support ing him expressly for the purpose of proposing and advocating such a law.

Caraccas papers to the 1st of September announce the death at Valencia on the 12th of August, of Captain John Dundas Cochrane of the British Royal Navy.

On his return from a jotWney he met at Utic* with Mr- Broadhead, then and how resident there, to whom while walkin'; a long the banks of Wood Creek, Mr. Morris suddenly put (his question Can you, M'r.Broadhead, inform me of the probable summit’ level between the wators of Lnke Erie and those of the Hudson ? I cannot, was the reply; but why do you ask? I wish to ascertain, said Mr. Morris, in ol der to a plau for bringing the waters of Lake Erie into the Hudson. Upun 'Mr. Broadhead’s expressing his doubts m the feasibility of such a project, and truatitig it as very visionary, Mr. Morris rejoined em- phalically—Sir,you are wrong; you will live to see tho day. when this communication will be effected.—And Mr. Broadhead does live to see it. The Ohio Canals are constructing with ipirit and energy which promise their com pletion at an earlier day than the moatsangu ine could have anticipated a few months ago. The section of the Miami Canal, on which ground was first broken by Governors Clin ton and Monnow, on the 21st of July last, is said to be already completed in a substantial and handsome manner. The work already done, and that’ under contract will cost considerably less than the original estates. Commissioners have been appointed by tin eitizens of Indiana, interested in the project for the pnrpose of adopting measures to exam ine into the practicability of cutting a canal from Lawrenceburg. Ja. to Fort Wayne in Ohio. The commissioners met at Brookville on Hie 28(h August, and passed a number of resolutions, in which they state, that aver; fair prospect exists of obtaining the means of performing the work from eastern capitalists they have employed two gentlemen to pro ceed to survey, locate and estimate the ex pense of a canal on that rpatc; which expeuse is to be paid by subscription from the citizens residing in the counties through which the ca nal may pass. The affaire of the Eagle Bank at New Havens have created considerable attention in Connecticut and the city of New-York. on account of tho large amount of its notes in circulation, and the pecuniary interest of i he former in it; and some do not scruple to say, that the failure is a speculation buy up its notes at a discount. Of su much importance is the failure of this institution considered, that it is said to be the intern tion, unless a satisfactory statement be pub lislied by its officers, to call an extra session 'fthe Legislature to deliberate upon the matter. Public Debt.—On the first day of this month 6,187,006 dollars of the principal oi the public Debt were paid off and extin guished—being all that remained of the six per cent, stock of the year 1812. Tiie ori ginal loan was {8,134,700. Nxw Post-Offices—From the 1st of July to the 30th of September, sixty-five new Post-Offices have been established in the different states. The following are those established in Georgia—Fort Valley, Crawford County ; Hickory Grove, Henry Harmony Grove,Jackson; Madison Springs, Madison. Steam Boats.—A Cincinna’i paper of the 12th ult. states that there are nearly thirty steam boats, including those building and repairing, within the bounds of that place, carrying about 5000 tons. They are principally const ructed of red ceder, locust, and mulberry, which prove more durable than any other species of wood. Babcock’s Steam Engine.—The Provi dence Patriot publishes the following des cription of this improvement, in the boat recently built in New Port, R.I. Ifit proves effectual, ss it is believed at tho North it will, it is certainly a most important improve ment in steam navigation : The invention of Mr. Babcock, which will probably supecede the necessity of a boiler to the steam enginse, consists merely has turn ffre places, the one shove, the' oth at below the tubes—its extreme outside length is eight feet—its height tnd width each tbraq gnd a half feet. The pumps ere worked, by Jong levers, aittched to the cross head, so arranged ss to move them alter nately, and they can be made to inject from s half to four cubic incheaof wator at once —the wbolo of which, after performing its duty in tho cylinder, is saved by js conden- -— To set the engine in routing, a fire is in converting water into steam at the in atant it is wanted, by allowing it to come in contact with hat iron. To effect this, two generators are used, formed of iron tubes, vast in lengths of three and a half feet, of five inches internal diameter, and an inch aud a half thick ; these ere made to.tra. verse afurnace horisontally, in two rows, and are fourteen in number; the lower eev en are connected with each other by caps, and a steam pipe leads from the end of the lest one into the lower part of the cylinder of a high preeenre engine ; the upper seven are connected in the same manner, end a steam pipe leads from them into tiie upper part ot the samp cylinder- At the upper kindled in the furnace, and when the gen orators are sufficiently heated, an, injection is made, by hand, With . one of the pumps, (we will suppose into the lower generators) is water is instantly converted into steam Aa valve is opened to admit it intii the low or part of the. cylinder, epd the (piston is driven upt an injection it then made by tire other pump, into the other generator—a ••alvu is opened in the top nf the j cylinder and the piaton is driven down The engine then, without further assistance, Snntinues to operate with unabated vigor, dnd with perfect equality. The injection made into the generators, now injoperation, is at must but four cubic inches: the cylinder of the engine, to which they are attached, -is ten inches in diameter; the length of the stroke of the piston is throe and a half feet, and it i* calculated to be a ten horse power, tins’ l varies in proportion to the quantity of water injected. The principle, upnn which the generators are constructed, is an evi dent one; but the heretofore insurmounta ble obstaclo has been, that they cooled so fast, by the constant injection of the water, that the requisite steam power could not be obtained by them; this is now completely overcome by using two generators instead of one, and having the injection pumps ar ranged as to work alternately, that while the water is forced into one generator, the other lias time to regain its expended coin ric; and here consists the great merit of the invention—and the merit is the greater because, I hough so simple, it has been cn tirely overlooked. We have been ourselves repeatedly witnesses of the perfect success of tiie operation; and the generators, so fur from being cooled, are with ease and cele rety rondo to acquire the requisite degree of temperature, evn when the engine has commenced working with them at a low tenreei attire. The economy of Ihe substitution consists, not only in space and weight, hut in both wood and water, Had they not succeeded in the engine to which they were attached, ii would have been necessary to have supplie.l their place by a boiler, twenty-two feet.ni least, mlength ;the saving of force and wriglil is,therefore, three-fourths of what it would hav been on the old plan; and instead uf a cor 1 of wood, which would have been consumed io four hours, there is now used but two feet in Hie same spuoe of time—the saving in the wood is. therefore, throb fourths; and last, bill most important, instead of a condensed mass of scalding vapour, constantly threatening dentil and destruction, there is now used but the small quantity of steam that can he gen erated from four cubic inches of water—and the simplest, the cheapest, and Ihe most pow erful, hut heretoforejdreaded.high pressure en gine is made perfectly safe id its use and oc cupation. We do not say that it is absolutely impossible for Hie generators to burst, but were they to do so, no person could be injured, unless by a piece projected from it. and then so carelessly must lire | iave been constructed, Hint n jury of the country could hardly help convicting their maker of premeditated man slaughter. . As the public rre apt to judge of the success of ao experiment more from ap pearances than examination, we are sorry that Hie boat did not move ivitli Hie velocity that was anticipated—but the fact is, that Ihn engine was .intended to move paddles of but 12 feet in diameter, instead of which, by an alteration in (lie boat, it became necessary to substitute paddles of 15 feet; ul it is, they re volve 17 limes in a minute, earning the boat full seven miles in au hour—while llio Cler mdnt, FnltonV first boat, went scarcely five miles iii (he same time. It should be remem bered, too, that by first applying theinveulinn to the propelling of a vessel the most difficult method has been chosen of testing its power; and yet. with the peculiar obstacles it has had to encounter, we are assured not a doubt can exist with regard to it in the mind of any one at all conversant with the matter. Wo be lieve another eia is about to take place in steam enginery, that will rank the name of Babcock with the illustrious one of Watt. The following address was delivered by Commodore Stewart atthe dinner given in Philadelphia. “ In receiving the honor you have this day conferred on me, my valued friends and fellow citizens. Icon only regret that a more distinguished Oceanian has not presented it self to render me more worthy of your pater nal and generous feeling. “ I acknowledge, for F truly feel myself at a loss, for language to express the grati tude with which this occasion fills me, and the deep sensibility it excites. “ However, I may lament the want of power to add to the glory of my native lend by some bright end eminent service, I trust that no event of my life will ever be found to stain my own character, or injure my country’s tame. This has been the princi pal aim and object of my past effort;,and will he tny guide in future. The career which destiny has marked for me, is not unatten ded with danger to the best intentions ;— my paths have been beset with difficulties, often perplexing, end sometime* perilous. To have always escaped from error, would he asking too much from one so conscious of his deficiencies as I am. I shall contin ue to trust in tne support of a divine Provi- donce; sincerely endeavoring on my part to keep the courae of rectitude. and to avoid every tiling which can lesson the cordiality and esteem now manifested by my early and faithful friends.” Tub CoMET.-The Comet which is now visible is called Encke’s Comet in honor of ilhe astroner of that name, Director of the Dical Observatory at Beeberg, who diecov- -ered ite true orbit in 1819. The Anapolis Republican says—“ Its periodical revolu tion is 1205 days—it wes observed in t786. 1796, 1805,1819, and 18*2. Dr. Bowditch observes in his account of its appearance in 1822, that if the comet should pass the pe- rehilion between the monthe of October end February, it would be visible in our nor thern climate, but if in an opposite season of the year, it would not be visible her*.

Baltimore American. Chili.—By the ship Eagle,Capt. Morrill, arrived here yesterday in 92days from Val paraiso, we have advices to the 23j June Tiie U S schr.

Flour a' Valparaiso on ihe 23d June was at {5 per barrel, nn hoard—markets overstocked with very kind of produce. A number of ves sels had arrived during the m. nth of June with Flour, but could not sell, and proceed ed to leeward—there were no vessels at Cnpiapo on the 12th July, when the Eagle sailed. The Achiliis, Spanish sloop of war, had been risen upon by her crow, and brought into Valparaiso. The British. 74. Cambridge, sloop of war L’l'colo, and a French sloop of war, were at Valparaiso. In addition to the foregoing, we learn that a passenger in the Eagle reports that the northern section of Chili, including Cnquiin- bo, had seceded from the Chil on republic, in consequence of dissatisfaction at the pro. coedings of the Congress. We have en deavored. but without success, to gain fur- t her particulars.—Had. Amer. blit Oil. Steam tflmignlion in the Weit Indiet—The prospectus of Captain Hall’s steam-boat vs t iblisliment (noticed in our last) has reached G. Britain, aud L not without interest. The vessels are to be of large dimensions, and ele gantly filled up, with separate apartments, and female attendants for ladies, their own servants being generally sea sick. Tiie cap ital required is 100,0UIM in 50/ shares. It is expected that these vessels will sail, from is land to island, at the rate of twelve miles an hour. The following is au extract from the prospectus:— “ The rapidity and comfort of steam navi gation is such as to supercede all other nodes of conveyance for passengers and goods; and a voyage, instead of being dreaded as it npw is will be undertaken as a party of pleasure, where the iuvilid will have an opportunity of trying a tour of tkeislnnds for the benefit of his health,(which before he had not,) that may prevent the necessity of a voyage to England. The deck will be as large as that of a frigate, Hie awnings always spread, and it will always he cool in the calmest weather, from tiie draught oansed by the rapid motion of the boat, which, with a fair wind, will be from ten to twelve miles per hour. The boat will always be upright, and navi gate su near to (he shore, under the lee of the land, that many persons will be induced to take at our of the islands for Hie beauty of Hie scenery, which cannot be exceded any where in the world, particularly among the Virgin Isles, where the water is as smooth as a lake.
