They are of different sizes, according to the purpose to which they areintended to be applied. No. 1 is employed, instead of the present mode of pan ning, to seperate the Gold from the snnd as taken up from the larger Machines, or from the lfilller of the rocking Machines now in use. It will be found to be a much easier method of performing that operation, and much more economical, both with regard to time and the saving of the Gold. A Machine of this description may be seen on the Mine, No. 729 of tills district, belonging to the Washington Company. No. 2 Is intended for washing the Grit as taken from the Mine, and where there is a sufficiency of water, eight hands, when accustomed to the work, will wash three hundred bushels of grit per hour, without losing any Gold. This Machine will be warranted to wash more grit in a given time, than any five Machines now in use, and to lose less Gold then any one.

From the N. Y. Constellation. BORROWING A HUSBAND. Niiw York, Nov. 23, 1831. Dear Tim.—l’m glad my name amt John Smith for that aint no name at all. You’ve heard tell of the fellow who wanted to get a seat in the theatre one plaigy crouded night, and cried out “John Smith’s house is on fire!” By the hoky! more than twenty men started up and run out, thinking each it was his own house on fire. Now there are five hundred and sixty-six Smiths in the directory, and sixty-six of them are John Smiths, but there aint no Timbertoes that I know on hut Enoch—and that’s me. So you see I have been pretty considerable easy about any body’s stealing my name and trying to pass muster for me—but as luck or ill-luck would have it, I like to have got caught the other day as slick as a weezle. I was just sitting down to tea, when the ser vant steps up and tells me there was somebody at the door wanted to see me. I jumped up and went down and there found a great big carman with a great broad brimmed hat on, scraping and bowing, and looking smiling as a basket of chips. “Is your name Timbertoes?” says he to me when I got up to him. “ YVell, suppose it is.” “Why you are the very man then,” says he, “ that I’ve been hunting for— I’ve been driving my cart over the city foi you.” “Hunting for me,” says I, “and what’s your Business with, me?” “Oh, nothing,” says he giving his whip a snap which like to have hit me right in the face, only I have got your wife and child on my cart out here.”—“My wife! my child!” exclaimed I. “ Yes, your wife and your child,” says he, “I knew you’d he de sput glad to see her —she’s in a great agony to sec you.” “To see me!” says I. “Yes she’s come round in the packet all the way from Bos ton to see you,” says he, “and far the life of her she could’nt tell in what part of the city you li ved, and so you see I’ve been riding her round the last three hours, on purpose to find you— but I’m glad I’ve found you at last.” “ Why, here’s some mistake,” says I. “Oh! no mistake j at all,” says he, “just come out to my cart and sec if your wife don’t dentilyyou.” I looked out at the door, not daring to go out for fear of consequences, and true enough, there on a chest and some bedding in a cart, sat a fine looking woman holding a baby in her arms and looking right at me to kill. I felt pretty streak ed I tell you, but turning to the carman, says I to him, my “dear sir, you are mistaken, you’ve got the wrong man—l never was muriicJ in my life, and that’s no more my wife and child than yours.” Came, come, “that’s a good one,” says the carman, “ but I can’t stand talking here, just tell me where I shall dump your wife and let me bo off—four shillings is all lax for the job.” “But I tell you it aint my wife,” says I, “I’ll call the whole of our folks here to swear I never had a wife in my life.” “ Well, well,” says the carman, who was getting impatient and rather wrathy into the bargain, “you need not go to that trouble—just step out here and if the woman dont acknowledge you as her husband, I’ll give it up.” I felt plagy loath to do this, not knowing but that the woman might swear herself on to me: child and all—but there was no alternative to get rid of the carman and so out I went. It was rather dusky and the woman could’nt get a fair view of me till I got close up to her —then she screamed out “ Lord a macy ! lord a ma ev!” then the carman set up his pipes. “ I knew ’twas so—l knew ’twas your wife !” “ Lord a marcy!” cries out the woman again “I’m ruined and undone—it is’nt my husband —it is’nt my Joseph—oh! dear! what has be come of him!” “Your husband; marm,” says I “how came you to suppose I was your hus band?” “Oh dear! they told me he lived here, and I thought for certainty he did—oh dear ! what will become of me !” “Why marm, there aint nobody else in the city of my name.”— “ Nobody else of your name in New York— aint your name Timberlegs, and aint that the name of my Joseph who has lived here these twelve months?” “ Yes sir,” said the Carman, did’nt you tell me your name was Timberlegs?” “No, I did’nt,” says I, interrupting him. “ I told you no such thing,—l said my name was Timbertoes—Enoch Timbertoes, —that’s my name and I bear a good respectable character, and aint married at all.” “Timbertoes !” ex claimed the carman, “confound it, how could 1 make such a blunder— toes instead of let’s —I ax your pardon, but how shall I find out this wo man’s husband ?” YVell, I’ll tell you,” says I, “ seeing that you have come to your senses — I’ll tell you.” “Well, how is it?” says he. — “How? why advertise her in the newspapers,” | says I. Advertise her ? and who’s to pay for her keeping till her husband is found ?” say? he. “Why, here’s a dollar,” says I, and if you’ll drive off out of my sight and not trouble me any more you arc welcome to it for your ser vices.” The carman seemed mightily tickled and drove off bag and baggage, and glad was I to get rid of him so cheap. A pretty narrow escape, that, Tim, I tell you. It would be a pretty story to tell on, would’nt it, that I was saddled here in York with another man’s wife? But so it is in this great city, and there’s a thousand comical circumstances hap pening every day or two, just like the one I’ve just described. A man don’t know who’s who or what’s what, without he keeps a sharp look-out —no tricks upon travelleis, is my motto, hut they try plagy hard to poke ’em on to you, I tell you. I had’nt been in the city more than a fortnight when I used to meet a man every dav who ap- peared to know me very well, though I did’nt know him from Adam. YY henever he saw me in the street, he always fastened himself on to me and axed me how I did and how I was get ting along, and all such sort of questions, which plagily puzzled me to make out w’ho he was, and whereabouts he got so -veil acquainted with me. I did’nt like to ax him about it, cause why ? that would only show my ignorance, and so I tried every other way to find out who he was, but without success. The fellow stuck to me like a shadow—wherever I went he was right at my side—if I turned a corner, he was staring me in the face. One day, however, I saw him go into a shop where I was acquainted, and so I waited till he comes out and then went in and axed them who the fellow was. By the hokey! who do you guess it was?—a little shriv elled up ninth part of a man, a tailor, that keeps a second hand cloth shop in Chatham street, and he’d looked on me this way just to get my custom. I’ll tell you what some of our Pearl street merchants board their clerks at the tav erns here to pick up the country customeis, but I’d no idea that every petty shopkeeper practi sed the same system —I cut the fellow the next time he tried to know me—l’ve no notion of these take-you-by-the-button-hoie sort of ac quaintances—not I. ENOCH TIMBERTOES. The following humorous sketch of the pro cess by which a Town formed, is from a work on Political Economy, by Dr. McCullock, ofthe University of London : Origin of a Town.- There is a church, this is the ordinary foundation. YVhcre there is a church, there must be a parson, a clerk,a 9exton, and a midwife. Thus we account for four hou ses. An inn is required on the road. This pro duces a smith, a butcher and a butcher. The par son, the cleric, the sexton, the midwife,the butch er, the smith, the sadler, and the brewer, require a baker, a tailor, a shoemaker, and a carpen ter. They soon learn to eat plumb puddings, and a grocer follows. The grocer’s wife and the parson’s wife contend for superiority in dress, whence follows a milliner, and with a milliner a mantuamaker. A barber is intro duced to curl the parson’s wig, and to shave the Smith on Saturday nights, and a stationer to (urnish the ladies with paper, for their sen timental correspondence ; an exciseman is set to guage the casks, and a school master dis covers that the ladies can not spell. A hat ter, a hosier, and a linnen draper, follow by dugrecs; and ae children come into the world, they begin to cry out for rattlers and ginger bread. The parson becomes idle and gouty, and gets a curate, and the curate gets twenty children and a wife; thus it bic.ames neces sary to have more shoemakers, and tailors, and grocers. Alas! too happy people! for in the mean time a neighboring apothecary hear ing with indignation, that there is a communi ty” living witholit physic, places three blue bottles in windows, when, on a sudden, ihc butcher, the innkeeper, and the grocer’s wife becomes bilious, and find that they have got nerves, and their children get water in their head, and teeth, and convulsions. They are bled and blistered, till a physician finds it convenient to settle; the inhabitants become worse and worse every day, and an underta ker is established. ‘Phe butcher, having cal led the tailor pricklouse, over a pot of ale, Snip, to prove his manhood, knocks him down with his goose. Upon this plea, an action of assault is brought at the next sessions. An Attorney sends his clerk over to take depo sitions and collect f|idcncc, the clerk find ing a good openning, sets all the people by tho ears, becomes a pettifogging Attorney, and peace flies the village for ever ! But the vil lage becomes a town, acquires a bank, a me chanic’s institute, a circulating library, and a coteri of old q^aids; and should it have ex isted in might have gained a corporation, a mayor, a quarter, session of its own, a country assembly, the assizes, and the gallows.” v CROWJYIXG TIJE WISEST. [from the ladies’ magazine.] Not many years ago, it happened a young man from Neiv Yo<k visifed.London. His fa ther being connccteSjyith several of the mag nates of the British Aristocracy the young*Amcr ican was introduced iqto the fashionable circles of the metropolis, whei% in consequence of his very fine personal appearance, or that his father was reported to be very'rich, or that he was a new figure on the stage, he attracted much at tention, and became .quite the favorite of the ladies. This was not at all relished by the Brit ish beaux, but as no very fair pretext offered for a rebuff, they were compelled to treat him civil ly. Thus matters stood when the Hon. slr. M. P. and lady made a parijigaccompany them to their country seat in Cambridgeshire, and the American was nmonghhe invited guess. Nume rous were tho devices to which these devotees of pleasure resorted in order to kill that old fel low who will measure his hours, when he ought to know they are not wanted, and the ingenuity of every ono was taxed to remember or invent something novel. The yankees are prorarbially ready of inven tion, and the American end honor to nis charac ter, as a man accustomed to freedom of thought. He was frank and gay, and entered into the sports and amusements, w'ith that unaffected en joyment which communicated a part of his fresh feelings to the most worn out fashiouists in the party. His good nature, would have been sneer ed at by some of the proud cavaliers, had he not ( been such a capital shot, and he might have I been quizzed had not the ladies, won by his res ! pectful and pleasant civilities and his constant attention in the drawing room and saloon, always | showed themselves his friends. But a combi nation was at last formed among a trio of dan dies, staunch patrous of the Quarterly, to anni hilate, the American. They proposed to vary , the eternal evening waltzing and piping, l>y the j acting of charades and playing various games, | and having interested one of those indefatigable j ladies, who always carry their point in the scheme, it was voted to bo the thing. After some few charades had been disposed of one of the gentlemen begged leave to propose (he game called ‘Crowning the YYisest.’ Phis is played by selecting a Judge of the game, and three persons, either ladies or gentlemen; who : are to contest for the crown by answering suc cessively the various questions which the rest o! the party are at liberty to ask. The one who is declared to have been the readiest and happiest in his answers receives the crown. Our American, much against his inclination, was chosen among the three candidates. lie was aware that his position, the society with which he was mingling, required ofhim the abili ty to sustain himself. He was to be sure treat ed with distinguished attention by his host and hostess, and generally by the party, but this was a favor to the individual, and not one ot the com pany understood the character of republicans or appreciated the Republic. The three worthies had arranged that their turn lor him should fall jin succession and be the last. The first one, a j pel feet exquisite, and with an air of most incfiii j ble condescension put his question. | “If I understand rightly the government of ! your country, you acknowledge no distinctions of rank, consequently you can have no court standard for the manners of a gentleman, willyou favor me with information where yourbest school of politeness is to be found ?” “For your benefit,” teplied the American, smiling calmly, “I would recommend the Falls of Niagara—a contemplation of that stupendous wonder teaches humility to the proudest, and hu man nothingness to the vainest. It rebukes the trifler and arouses the most stupid ; in short, it turns men from their idols ; and when we ac knowledge thal God only is Lord; we feel (hat men are our equals. A true Christian is always polite.' 1 There was a murmur among the audience, but whether applause or censure the American could not determine, as he did not choose to be tray any anxiety for the result by a scrutiny ot (he faces which he knew were bent on him. The second now proposed his questiod. He affected to be a great politician, w as mustachocd and whiskered like a diplomatist, which station he had been coveting.—His,voice was bland bur his emphasis was very significant.” Should I visit the United States, what sub ject with which I am conversant would most in terest your people, and give me an opportunity of enjoying their conversation?” “You must maintain as you do at present, that a monarchy is the wisest, the purest the best government, which the skill of man ever devis ed, and that a democracy is utterly barbarous. My countrymen are proverbially fond of argu ment, and will meetyou on both these questions,, and if you choose, argue with you to the cr.d of your life.” The murmur was renewed, but still without any decided expression ofthe feeling with which his answer had been received. The third then rose from his seat, and with an assured voice, which seemed to announce a certain triumph said: “I require your decision, on a delicate ques tion, but the rules of the pastime warrant it and also acandid answer. You haveseen the Amer ican and the English ladies; which arc the fair est ?” , , The young republican glanced around the circle. It was bright with flashing eyes, and the sweet smiles which wreathed many a lovely lip, might have wordless determined patriot from his allegiance. We did not hesitate, though he bowed low to the ladies as he answered. “The standard of female beauty is I believe, allowed lo be the power of exciting admiration and love in our sex, consequently those ladies who arc most admired and beloved, and respect ed by the gentlemen, must be the fairest. Now I ass. rl confidently, that there is not a nation on earth where woman is so truly beloved, so ten derlv cherished, so respectfully treated, as in, the republic ofthe United States; therefore, the American ladies are the fuiicst. But,” and he again bowed low, “if the ladies before whom ! have now the honor of expressing my opinion, wore in my country, we should think them Amer icans.” % , The applause was enthusiastic; after the mirth had subsided so as to aliow the Judge to be heard, he directed the crown to the Yankee. Wedding, Wine, and JVuter. —The Ccntincl of Friday,'’in publishing the nuptials of Mr. Reuben Hunting, and Miss Sarah Lamprey, which took place on Thursday evening, remarks: “Pure water, -ocji as graced the nuptials of the first happy pair in Eden’s blissful bowers, was used on this occasion.” This is what we should term being temperate “above what is written.” It did not probably occur to the hap py group, that our Saviour exerted his super natural power at a wedding in Canan of Galileo to turn water into wine, mid thus “ make glad the hearts of all present. — Host.
