Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof fin, now resident in Ncwburyport, Moss, address ed to the Editors of the “ Casket,” and “ Saturday Evening Posh” Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel lent publication, the “ Casket,” I assure you, meets from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year, would be worth the trifling expense of the subscrip tion ; those representing the Capitol, at Harrisburg, Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. are hand somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work in truth, I am free to say, that there is not within the compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so well calculated to cheer the oppressed and languid spirits as the “ Casket the matteris diversified and useful—so much so, that there must always be found something to please the literary taste of every one, who can be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for the gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S.

The re view of American Biography, from which this is taken, contains a number of interes ting incidents and characters. When the British army had possession o Philadelphia, Gen. Howe's head-quarters were in Second street, fourth door below Spruce, in a house which was before occu pied by Gen. Cadwallader. Directly op posite, resided William and Lydia Darrah, members of the society of Friends. A su perior officer of the British Army, believed to be an adjutant general, fixed upon one of their chambers, a back room, for private ^conference, and two of them frequently met pcaring to the Court, that on the 8th day of th ere, with &e and candles, in close consul tation.

Sometime in the year 1825, to the best of my recollection (at this time haying no memorandum to refer to, and it being of little consequence about the precise day) in July, at a Justice’s Court in the County of Newton, in a cause pending between Amos Shaw, plaintiff, and Levi Whitten, defendant, tliis man John Jones was introduced as a witness, and in giving his testimony it became necessary to prove the time that l liaa moved from his house to’Newton County; and he swore that he had no knowledge of my removal, or intention to remove, from his house until I had start ed : and I can prove that he had knowledge of my intention to remove for some time previous to my removal, and had actually loMjed me a horse to assist me in moving. I asked him, on his examination, if ho did not loan me a horse to assist me in moving, and reminded him of several circumstances that shewed his knowledge of my removal, all of which he most bitterly denied ; and I do pronounce him a perjured man, and caution the public to beware of him. AVINGTON CL AG HORN. Gainesville, March 22.—13 3t. - 2d of December, the ad- that they would .o'clock, and remain late ; and that they wisneathe family to re tire early to bed ; adding, tfrat when they were going away they woulctaall her to let them out, and extinguish their ate and can dles. She accordingly sent all family to bed ; but as the officer had beerrco par ticular, her curiosity was excited. She took off her shoes, and put to the key-hole at the conclave, and over? heard an order read for all the British troops to inarch out late in the evening of the fourth, and attack General Washington’s ar my, then encamped at White Marsh, v On hearing this she returned to her chamber, and laid down. Soon after, the officers knocked at the door, but she rose only at the third summons, having feigned herself asleep: Her mind was so much agitated, that from this moment she could neither eat nor sleep ; supposing it to be in her power to save the lives of thousands of her fellow countiymen; but not knowing how she was to convey the information to General Wash ington, not daring to confide it to her hus band. The time left, however, was short. She quickly determined to make her way, as soon as possible, to the American out posts. She informed her family, that as she was in want of flour, she would g? to Frank- ford for some ; her husband insisted that she should take the servant maid with her, but to his surprise she positively refused. Sim got access to Gen. Howe, and solici- tea, wh*at he readily grarfted, a passtkrdngh the British troops on the lines. Leaving her bag at the mill, she hastened towards the American lines, and encountered on her way an American Lieutenant colonel, (Craig) of the light horse, who'With some of his me.n was on the look out for information. He knew her, and inquired where she was go ing ? she answered, in quest of her son, an officer in the American Army, and praying the colonel to alight and walk with her. He did so, ordering his troops to keep in sight, To him she disclosed her secret, after hav ing obtained from him a solemn promise never to betray her individually, as her life might be at stake with the British. He conducted her to ahouse nearat hand, directed something for her to eat, and has tened to head quarters, when ho brought General Washington acquainted with what he hud heard. Washington made, of course, all preparation for baffling the medi tated surprise. Lydia returned home with her flour; sat up alone to watch the move ment of the British troops, beard their footsteps; but when they returned, in a few days after, did not dare to ask a question, though solicitous to learn the event. The next evening the Adjutant General came in, requested her to walk up to his room, as he wished to put some questions. She follow ed him in terror; when he locked the door and begged her, with an air of mystery, to be seated, she was sure that she was either suspected or had been betrayed. He in quired earnestly whether any one of her fa mily were up the last night he and the other officer met; she told him that they all retir ed at eight o’clock. He observed, “ I know you were asleep, for I knocked at your chamber door three times before you heard me; lam entirely at a loss to imagine who gave Gen. Washington infoimation of intended attack unless the walls of the he could speak. When we arrived near Whiter Marsh, we found all their cannon moun ted, us, ar and the troops prepared to receive us, and wc have inarched' back like fool3.”—Richmond Enquiren a parcel 61 -JUk ’Si M
