A Seville (Spain) paper mentions a widow, of the

mong the female* of her native Jiatrici, where they evei
submit lo aevaret toil than the other sox. Since her
hundredth year, a act of new teoth have madu their ap
pearance in her upper jaw, which was entirely without

were succeeded by others of a similar description. II« r

Latt month obout five miles south weal of Onondoga,
(N. Y.) in digging a cellar, the bone* of three human

a piece of oast non sleigh shoo beside another, and
billot of wood no*r tho third. The remains of a valice,
coma button* and a cent, bearing date 1600, were also
found. In consequence of iheve, together with other
circumatancea connected with it, it is supposed that
tome foul deeds of blood havo been perpetrated upon
that spot aometime during the last thirty years. The
bones were much decayed, consequently no marks oi
violence were discovered.
Tha Barnstable Patriot tells a story of Captain \V«
Tati on, who sailed from Boston in the w inter 1741,
having refused to watt dll oeit morning to sail in com
pany with Capt. Hawis and Thatciikr, his neighbor*.
He wcut to Jamaica, up the Bay of Honduras, and rt
turned with a cargo of logwood and maliogsny, after n
abaenca of eleven week*, and found his friends at th
nharf, having bqen fasten iu all winter.
coed with all pnsmblo dispatch to survey and
locate the Road under Mr. II. Allen, the chief
Engineer of tho Company. Tito wurmtli of
the Henson prevented thorn from cotnrnfnring
until the 20lh, nnd their progress was much
retarded by tho inclemenc y of tho weather
throughout the winter. Ah fast oh tho Nur-
veyorH advanced, the different sections of tho
Road were put tinder contract, and in Home
imtlnncoti even before tin* lines and levels
could he distinctly ascertained. Tho con- j
tractors, generally, were to complete ono mile 1
in every mouth, but here, too, the severity of
the Reason prevented the progress ofllie work;
ho fr quent were the interruptions in labor,
that the contractors could not possibly, com
ply with their engagements. Three of them i
who had contracted for five and a half miles,
have abandoned their work, but olhors bettor
acquainted with the dcluils, are willing Iouh- '
Biimc the contracts thus hnndoned ; the on-!
ly disadvantage to tho Compuny being loss of
tune.
Tho whole extont of the Rond to Hum-1
birg in one hundred nnd thirty live miles,
croRHing tho Ed into at the Forks, sixty-five
irnloH from ChnrleHton. Ofllie latter portion
all ih under contract, except about hix miles
und iltcHe art' montly in tIi»* rwuuius. Be
yond the Etlislo, only thirty four of the sn-
venly mill's are under contract, tho olliers
were not linnily surveyed until u few days a-
go j oilers for these tiro likewise received.
All, even the most extensive controclors are
hound lo completo their work by the ini .May,
1832.
The average eoHt per milo of these con
tractu for eighty miles is $2,600, exoluHive of
iron, being less than the estimate of Dr. How
ard. On the article of iron ulone, according
to the late advices from Liverpool, tho Com
pany will wave $4(10 per mile, that articlo
having fallen in vuluo sinco the date of I)r.
Howard's estimate. The whole expense per
mill', including iron, transportation, und con
tingencies, will lie less limn $4,000.
The Direction have purchased a tract of
pine land chiefly tor timber,to be used in con
structing and repairing the road, and have
engaged and authorized,the purchase of some
other small tracts on the route, with the suiiiu
object in view. Great liberality continues to
he evinced by the proprietors of land through
which the road passes, in ceding, to the com-
jinny ull the land necessary for the Rond, and
in most cases ull the timber on such lund, suit
able for ilie construction.
The Locomotive Engine constructed by
Mr. E. L. Miller, conlinucH to exceed the
most sanguine expectations of the Direction.
That recently received has not performed as
well, and until fully approved, will not be paid
for.
Tho surveying nnd location of the route
being now completed, tha Company will soon
be relieved from all the various heavy expen
ses incidental lo that very important prelim
inary measure. Other expenses will like
wise be curtailed, whenever practicable, and
the concerns of the company rendered ns
simiuo and easy an possible, by having the
work, of every description, put under con
tract.
From tho engagements now made, it is es
timated that tho expenditures, including re
mittances for iron, will he about $20,(HN) per
month, throughout the summer, ho that the
direction will probably have to cull for about
97 on each snare, every 00 days dring the
next six months.
Willi tho increase of business and expendi
ture, the Board have Hollered much i neon vs
nioneo from the restriction in the 7th section
of tho 2d Article of the By-Laws : $100 for
contingent, petty expenses, are not enough,
and it is respectfully recommended that this
iiinitation he extended to $1000.
Tho season of tho year is approaching
when none of the Directors cun inspect any
purt of the long line of Rond, on which tho
contractors ure euijiloyed. As tho work in
creases in extent and interest the eye of the
proprietors is more and more needed for in
specting its execution, and thn attention of
agents employed. The personal attention of
the Directors is impiacticuble : Unless the
Compnny can adopt means for obtaining
such supervision by the election of some Di
rectors among l lie residents on the line of
Rond, tho Board must appoint agents in situ
ations where they can he most useful.
One of tho most painthlly interesting inci
dents since the establishment of the Compa
ny, was the death of our late much lamented
President. To eulogise him is not our object;
his less was too aculel- felt by every member
of the Board, and of the Company, to be ex
pressed in words ; when deprived of him the
Hoard were not only deprived of their Chief
counsellor, but of their bend. By the words
of the Charter, the President and Directors
art» conjoined in every measure to he adopt
ed—without a President the Board of Direc
tors could do nothing, and urgent business re
quired attention every hour ofllie day. The
President could only be elected by the Stock
holders ; the proper time for such election
was two months off, und scarce an hour could
pass without inconvenience or injury. The
Board believing that they had tho power to
till vacancies, felt compelled, under these cir
cumstances, to adopt the ternporaty measure
ofselecting a President from among them
selves, and Mr. Elias Horry, was duly elect
ed ; tho place of Mr. llorry, as a Director,
was tilled bv the choice of Air. J. J. Bulow.
The Board submit this part of I heir proce
dure to the Company, and request their sanc
tion.
Although aix thousand shares were actual
ly subscribed, several of the subscribers have
failed to make their payments, ami some from
death and misfortune cannot now fulfil their
engagements. The number of shares thus
left short of the limited six thousand, is one
hundred and ninety two.
The Direction with pleasure review tho
present improved situation of the Company—
the surveys are completed ami the route do-
signated—the nature of the ground is folly
equal io their expectations, the right of pass
ing is liberally granted by the proprietors of
the laud, ami iu most cases tho timber for the
road. The mode of construction is from ex
perience and reflection found to be the best
racticable. The cost of materials and con-
ruction is 1088 than the estimate of the
, ndst judicious. Eighty-eight miles aro un
der contract, aud offers made lor the remain. 1
der. Eight milca are completed, and useful- j
ly contributing to the construction of tho
rest. Much work ia also done in clearing,
grading, piling. &c. dtc. in part of tho con-
tructa. About six hundred workmen, of eve
ry description, are now actively engaged ia
constructing the road between this and Haru- j
burg. In the winter many more will be so
engaged, nnd the Board think that the whole
will be completed in twenty months Iroui this
timo.
The Stute of Tennessee and the upper |
part of Georgia, are anxiously looking for
ward to this event, aud anticipate the advan
tages which they may derive from an exten- j
sion of our line of road to their part of the !
country. Their Lest informed and most rca-
jn.'ctable citizens ere already calculating the
probable increase in vuluo of their lands and
products, from the increased facilities of
transportation and intercourse, resulting from
the establishment of a line of Rail R<md i
Westwardly. If to them the anticipation is '
a source of so much interest, how much more
so must it be, to the proprietors of our road, ■
and to the citizens of Churlesten. The cal
culations of profit on our Stock, are made on
a portion ofllie trade of Hamburgh and Au-
guslu alone ; even this limited source of in
come uffords very encouraging prospects;
but if to ibis he added a portion of the trade
nnd produce of the upper part of Georgia and i
Tennessee, tho profits will be found to in-j
crease with every mile of additional extent, j
likewise to increase annually, with the con- j
tinuod experience of the many und great ad
vantages to those w ho use the Rail Road in
preference to all other modes of conveyance.!
Who can calculate the advantages to (jfiarlus- 1
ton, il by this establishment it becomes one
of the chief Atlantic cities for the imports
und Exports of‘the great West!’

We sailed from Hampton Ronds this mor
ning, and in piiHsuijr near the beautiful For
tress Monroe, we fired a salute of 21 guns ;
the Artillerists immediately quitted tin ir oc
cupations without the wall and very soon
slier, out salute was returned with inter
est.
A cnlin compelled us, shortly after to come
to anchor about three leagues from tho For
tress, when we observed tho Steam Bout
Hampton standing for our ship, having on
bonrd many Ladies, Oflicera of the Fortress,
nnd a large number of respectable citizens.
The musK ofthe garrison, in full hand,struck
up the Marseilles Hymn, and played other
French airs. The ladies hud prepared a tri-
colouredJlaif, which floated on the breeze by
the side of your glorious st-.rs the Steam
Boa was then made fust alongside and the
whole company ou board did us the honor of
a visit, after which they invited us to go on
hoard the Steam Boat with them, whore many
complimentary toasts were drank with the
greatests cordiality, nnd the most lively en-
iluisiasoi. When we were constraned to

The fhirktbl, Capl. Parker from the Metlitcrrn-
Jan Van Speyk's Lioiit House.—On
glancing over a file of Amsterdam newspa
pers received by a recent arrival, we perceive
a notice given in one ofthem, of the contem
plated erection of a new light house on tho
coast of Holland ; in ordinary cases we should
content ourselves with merely mentioning the
circumstance, but with the pnsent, there are
facts connected of an interesting nature, par
ticularly illustrative of the diameter of the
Hollanders, and ofthe spirit which has been
roused in their w hole country by the present
contest with Belgium.
It will be recollected thut a short time since
we published intelligence of a dutch gun boat
stationed in the Scheldt, having been driven
ashore at Antwerp, and that when taken pos
session of by the Belgians, the officer com
manding her, blew her up with all on board.
This officer was Jan Van Speyk, who, we
learn from these papers was an orphan, edn-
cated in a charitable institution in Amster
dam, and who having performed two or three
East India voyages in the merchant service,
entored the service of his country. From
letters written by him previous to the event
alluded to, it appears that foreseeing the pro
bability of his vessel being driven ashore from
his station in the Schelde by the ice or sever
ity ofthe weather in the whiter season, he
had formed a determination to sacrifice him
self and crew, rather than fall in the hands of
the enemy.
When nows reached Holland that Van
Speyk had uctually curried this resolution in
to effect, it excited the highest admiration ;
all clause wre eager to contribute to tho
erection of a monument wh ch should perpe
tuate his name, and the memory of so extra
ordinary an instance of devotion to the coun
try. The different cities contested the right
of becoming the depositaries of the contem
plated monument, till at last the government
decided the question between them ; informa
tion of which was given to the public by the
institution at which Vail Speyk had been edu
cated. The following is a translation of part
ofthe document published on the occasion :
"It has p eased His Majesty our much
loved King, to din-ct, that with the sums con-1
tributed by the nation, a monument shall be
built to the honor and memory ol J. C. Jan
Van Speyk, at Egtnond ou tho Sea, which
shall he so constructed as also to serve the
purpose of a light bouse and shall bear the
name of Jan Van Speyk’a Light House.
Such a monument will have the advantage
of affixing the character of general utility to it
work of art—of immortalizing more than any
other would, the name of Van Speyk nnnd-t
that estimable class of men, of which he was
the ornument, of at one und the-same mo
ment announcing to thousands of navigators,
their appro ch to the shores ofthe father-land
—ofthe father-land ofthe never to be forgot
ten hero, who so no'ly presi rved the untar
nished honor of the Hag of Holland, to which
after his dcuth this monument, bcuring his
name, shall serve as a beacon.
North-Netherlanders, in every part of our
country, of whatever station, rank or class
you may be, rich or poor, much as you may
dilicr from nneanothcr—when the honor of
old Holland is at stake, the feelings of your
hearts diffor uol,th«*y beat us fervently in your
bosoms under the most unpretending garb as
the richest dress.
To animate you in the erection of ibis work
would be superfluous, where hut one voice;
one wish is Heard : Every Hollander feels the
necessity of contributing, something towards
it were it but the smallest sum, that each may
pride himaelfon having taken part in the off
ering which the whole nation dedicates to
him, who fearlessly met his death to revenge
nnd punish the enmity of n more than barba
rous foe, anil the insult offered to the flag of
Holluud. A death which announces to all
nations, thut disinterested patriotism, unsha
ken fidelity, nnd (where honor calls J delib
erate self-sacrifice, in this age too, mark the
character of the Hollander: that iu Amster
dam's walls, i Imrity and wisdom, by a pater
nal und sage education foster those invalua
ble sentiments in the unfortunate orphan,
which, us iu Van Npeyk, make the heart und
head every ready in the serv ce oftheir Father-
land. •* N. Y. Courier.
