Illuminated Clocls.—The propriety of il luminating during the night-time, one of the clocks of this town has been frequently urged on the public authorities ; buL hither to. without avail. , Of.the practicability of the measure, there can be no doubt; and the following paragraph will show that a new plan for illuminating clocks, has just been discovered in the metropolis:—“On Mon day night was exhibited4 forth© first time, a transparent dial, at thq north side of St. Giles’ Thurch ; the Characters'of \yhichare bold and correctly formed in cast iron filled in with stained glass, behind lights were introduced, so that the they traverse in the front, are distil and the time may be ascertain; . greatest nicety,both night and d?*v is the mechanical i occasion, that le one to put it tion, lights itself Take cour- night, and extinguishe/ th e is not doubt- sun rises in th out the yearj wheth short, * ditches/but withou/feoc^s- . ,, .

For the honour of the English noblesse, there are some choice spirits, who, endowed by nature with the germs of real greatness, hail cordially a kindred spirit, even in the ranks of the plebian class, and not only lend their influence to that spirit, but think it no degradation in themselves to hoid office ttqder his auspices. With such on his side, favoured with royal authority, and backed by the good sense and support of the people, Canning may laugh at his op ponents—laugh, and triumph over tlietn. ; In France also, some commotion exists.

JL [rnOM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.) To the Editors.—Gentlemen : When I first saw’ the question relating to the mul tiplication of 500 cents by 500 cents in your paper last Winter, about the first of Janua ry I think, I looked upon.it as a %uis or a hoax; hut I am surprised to find by your paper this morning, that it is a matter of grave discussion. I have always been taught, erroneously perhaps, that but one of the factors ofa pro duct could, as a factor, be considered a concrete number; and that it is impossible to multiply two or move concrete numbers together. Let U9 suppose it othprwise; and that we can multiply dollars by dollars, and cents by cents, having all the factors concrete during the process of multiplication. It will be allowed, that of four factors, alrequal to each other, the product of any two will be equal to the product of the other two; that is, if ABCD are all equal then A B=C D. But 500 cents are equal t ■ 5 dollars; and ■therefore, the product of 500 cents multi- ed by 500 cents, must be equal to the pro duct of 5 dollars multiplied by 5 dollars. Now, if the principle of the supposed multiplication of concrete numbers will per mit the multiplication of 500 cents by 500 cents to be performed, as if one or both those quantities were abstract—that is, like the multiplication of abstract numbers—the same permission must be extended also to the multiplication of 5 dollars by 5 dollars. But 500M 500=250,000=2500 dollars: and 5 H 5=25 dollars. Therefore, the prin ciple is absurd: for the products are not equal, though the factors are. Yet I can conceive no other method of performing the multiplication. Whatever, the rationale, or the mode of applying it be. it cannot militate against the proposition that two products, generated by an equal number of equal factors, must bo equal and it must permit the product of 500 cents multiplied by 500 cents, to be equal to the product of 5 dollars multiplied by 5 dollars. .This idea is altogether new to me; and if it/ can be demonstrated that the product of 500 cents multiplied by 500 cents, (both numbers being considered concrete during the process of multiplication) is 2500 dol lars, a most unforeseen and extraordinaty revolution must take place in the numerical algorithm. The sum obtained by taking (honestly of course) 100 cents 5 times, is 5 dollars: but what the product is when it is taken 5 cent times, I cannot imagine. It cannot be the same, as we have proved above by the rc- ictio ad absvrdwn. What a square dollar is, or a square cent, n ravds in Co- RC kaowledgmeat, in a manner equally appropriate, from the commander of the Riflemen, Capt. Nesbitt, was returned.

Rancour and enmity, deep, loud, will be harboured in their besoms, and j-V.. Rankling there,'may burst out, as a volcanic cxplo- _<i . -^*siori, when least expected, and most to be dreaded by their oppressors. This spirit may evaporate in newspaper ebullitions, if the liberty of the press be not again bridled; or may be restrained from a simple dread of revolutions, resulting from fresh ex perience of the varied calamities incident to that state of afflrirs. In all revolutions, if no political chance ensuo of much consequence, a great change is at least felt by those who are most Sensitive, i. e. the monied aristocracy. Property changes hands, and the former wheel of society is, in this respect, completely upturned. Hence, the wealthy prefer submitting to much imposition, and to lose privile ges to a large amount, if they can save the one thing needful. Their faces would be set acainst all opposition to the government, but still with this permanent auxiliary, fifty thousand discontented men in the heart of the metropolis, must render the King and Co. rather uneasy in their seats: they cannot sleep on beds of roses. Our cousins of Canada appear also in a somewhat ticklish state. transports with troops are leaving the shores of their stepmother, in order to put down the dawnings of Democracy in that colony. If the num ber sent be great, it will be no small addition to&the annual expenditures of those provinces, already a burden to the crown ; and a small number may only, by tyrannic measures that cannot be enforced but still begun, - light up, as at Lexington, a torch that will bum .up the bonds of their union. Some of thteir wisest statesmen have reiteratedly asserted it to be more for the interest of England, that Canada should be free, than held in provincial dependence. The St. Lawrence and the lakes are not an impas sable barrier to republican principles, and no “ sani tary cordon” against them can be formed. How ever contraband and prohibited, smugsling of that 'aitiele will go on and receive admittance. The armed force however, to be sent, bids fair to be strong: the pacification, durable or temporary, in tho.Peninsnla, will leave many regiments at the dis position of the throne. By their means a crisis may now be warded off, and tins “jewel of the crown ” be vet saved to it for some years to come. Ulti mate independence of the mother country is confi dently anticipated, and must inevitably happen— peaceably if possible—forcibly if necessary. * patriotically expressed during the dying moments of two of Freedom’s sages,—the voice of gratitude, speaking from the mouth of the musketry, announ ced that the sons of liberty had accepted the boon.

And it came to pass in those days, that when James, whose surname is Mon roe, had reigned eight year.-, over the realms of Columbia, that lo! it was written in the book of the Chronicles of Columbia, that he should no longer reign over the land, and James was gathered onto his Fathers, and remaineth in the old dominion to this day. 2nd. Ard John, who was the son ofthe seed royal, and Henry, whose surname is Clay, and William, from the province to the south, all said lo! we are here, and desire the crown, which hath fallen from the head of James. 3rd. But the children of the tribes, even of the twenty and four provinces, said no, but we will have Andrew to reign over us, for he loveth our nation, and hath fought our battles, and has protected our Beauty and they encouraged themseive3 in an evil mat- ’ ter. and laid snares privily, saying, who shall see us; yea, they shot in secret at the per fect ; and by intrigue, management and cor- motion, obtained the victory, and thus did they steal away the hearts of the Sanhedrim from Andrew. , „ ' 8th. But the people shay shoot at them with an arrow, even dnwrew shall be the quiver, and suddenly shall they be destroy er, and a--** --ult/-j-sr«medy : so shall their own doings fall upon them, .and all that^s/p them shaft Bee away, and the righteous sbSgt be glad thereof, and the upright in heart shall glory, and all the people say, amen. Selah. 9th. And after these things, John sent a writing to the great Sanhedrim, saying— send ye out exploring ships, circumnavigate the world—count the vibrating sounds of the earth's pendulum—send forth mighty he ralds to the Congress of Panama, anf build ye light houses in the sides, and many other things exhorted he them, saying—be ye not palsied by the will of your constituenis, but save yourselfffom this untoward generation. Selah. 10th. And^it came to pass that John of Boanoke, a mighty man of valor, in whom dweHeth the spirit of wisdom, and who re garded not the persons of men, rose up in the midst of thej Sanhedrim, and said—be hold the decds%f John and Henry ! How by their wickedness they have brought re proach upon the land, and havesq^at naught the will ofthe people; and with.the treasu ry of ihe sanctuary have corrupted the streams of justice, and behold the ark of the covenant is carried into the camp ot the Philistines. 11th. And at this saying Henry was wroth, and his anger kindled within him, and he said lo ! I will avenge myself ofthe blood of John, and will cause him to smell of the composition of nitre, and of charcoal, and of brimstone, and his carcase will I give to the fowls of the air- , 12th. Then did Black Leg send a wri ting to the man of Roanoke by the hand of his beloved brother, demanding that he would stand and be shot down, even as the husbandman shooteth down the bullock of the stall. 13th. But that Providence which regar ded even the sparrows that fall, delivered John from the bloody hands of this son of Belial—Selah. 14th. But blessed be Andrew, whom tho people deli^hteth to honor. He shall be anointed with the oil of gladness, and the people shall be satisfied with marrow and fatness ; shall sing with joyful lips, and the provinces shall dwell in safety, and the tribe of Georgia shall no longer be amazed and terrified by the blowing of the ram’s ^ horn.—Selah. 15th. Now, John was about two . score And eighteen years old when he began to reign, and reigned four years in Cplumbia, and his mother’s name was——, and he did that which was evil in the right of the people, according to all that his father had done. 16th. Now, the rest ofthe acts of John, together with the billiard table, and card table, which he set up, are they not written in the book of the. Chronic les of the chil dren of Columbia ? And in the fiftxj-third year of the Republic, on the third month, on the fourth day of the month he died, and was buried in a sepulchre in the garden of Quincy, and Andrew reigned in his stead. N. G. J The Focus, printed in Kentucky, and the known organ of Mr. Clay, very unwit tingly states that Mr. Clay, previous to uni ting forces with Mr. Adams, constrained the latter gentleman to adopt bis (Clay’s) views on certain great National questions. After this declaration in the Focus, we trust we shall not again hear the coalitionists deny, that there was a bargain between these gen tlemen. We should be happy to have the Editors of the Focus more explicit on this subject, and give their opinion of further bargains put upon Mr. Adams.

And they went as the people com manded, and behold there was strife amongst them who should be greatest, but five score, save one, shouted and said, lo l we will have Andrew to reign over us. 6th. Now, it was found written in the book ofthe Covenant, that when the mighty men could not agree among themselves, that the great Sanhedrim should make pro clamation, and anoint a ruler over the realm, even over the twenty and four provinces.— Then did John and Henry commune and say m their hearts, behold one of us will be king of Columbia and tho other chief scrib e of the nation, and by fair speeches,, and subtlety, and deceit,-we will deceive the people; and this saying was to John and Henry sweet as honey in the honeycomb ; in those days was the earth polluted.
