A recent discovery is said to have been made, that Oil extracted f r om cotton seed will answer far painting, that it is found even supe rior to linseed oil lor this purpose. The machinery necessary for pick-, ir.g the cotton, it is seated, may be easily converted to the purpose of making the oil. A patent has been granted to Mr. George P. Degges, for securing the advantages result ing from this discovery, anti we hope our planters may eventually find in the value of their cotton seed some little set off lot the low price of cotton itself.

Nnv-Orleans, April 28. —Last week’s sales fell short of what was anticipated, l’he scarcity of mo ney and high price of freight has tended to depress the market.

In the early part of the week the previous rates were with difficulty support ed, but the recent accounts from England give animation to the mar ket, and about 1500 bales were sold ji. > the two last days.

A'/ i/o.v 3acxi)a ir, to his worthy friends the ('f.nsohs — an Epistle. When l read your last communica tion, 1 must confess I felt something accusing you ol ingratitude. Hut up on proper consideration, I was led to a conclusion which “jumps” entirely in your la von The reason of your reply being other than a simple’ thank ye,’ l lay to the charge of your un common foresight and prudence, and (perhaps,) the influence of a slight tit ol modesty. \\ lien one receives a distinguished notice from a stranger, and the supposed reason of that no tice being nothing more than promis ing talents, or some great act of be nevolence rendered to the world in common, —it is a commendable piece ot prudence to hold such friend at a distance until lie lias proved the sin cerity of iiis professions.—For this reason, I suppose, you liavegiven me a gentle and necessary check in my warm endeavours to serve you. 1 have also considered that great reformers have ever had many enemies—partic ularly if their objects were important as yours, and success as certain—and j those most to he feared have introdu-, ced themselves as friends. You have I not only show n your prudence, bui; such sound argument and delicate in vective as calling one a ‘ fool,’ an ‘ ass,” ,a ‘ numskuli/ &t. clearly prove yourj superior powers of reasoning, as well i as the lofty tone of your genius. Al though your sharp \yit, keen satire,and deep discernment in criticism, have been called forth in part at my ex pense, yet it lias insured my admira tion of them forever. Having given you mv r opinion of your inerjts, and an assurance of my admiration, 1 should here stop, were it not a duty imposed by friendship to apprise you of the attempts of jealous enemies to injure your fame. In the discharge of this duty, I must in lorui jou that there are now certain enviousaud malicious slanderers,bold ly making themselves merry with your spontaneous, admirable f well-meant, lauaable, edifying , excellent arid for tunate productions. It may he that your exposition of my error causes them to he a iittle critic- a!, as they repeated a musty proverb about ‘ glass houses,’ of which, probably, you have some knowledge, they are particu larly audacious in meddling with the following parts of your third number. Mr. Editor —YVe are reluctantly drawn into a wordy contest with some of our sapient neighbours, Critic & Co myany, Simon Jackdaw, and (we suppose) a whole gang of crows and buzzards against our little company.” Now, say they, it is well enough to ‘suppose’a great many enemies by way of giving one’s self importance, —but think you will be in no danger from any of them so long as any pity or even saving -contempt remuins iu the world. In addition to the sen tence being a little sappy-e ut they say, it is sadly overloaded ; and believe it} would get stalled, if the passage of it tUrouch Mr. Murray’s book were tube attempted. “ They are no doubt personages of! great reading and profound research, who have perused the productions ot other men, that they have acquired a most admirable style.” You were not accused of having ‘ acquired’ the ‘ style’ of this sentence. They be lieved it to be purely original, hut seemed to doubt its being ‘ most ad mirable.’ One sentence they construed thus: “At the commencement ol Simon Jackdaw's epistle we were within one degree of absolute frigidity on read ing die chilly sentiments oi a Simon Jack dan- but before Simon Jackbaw ends Simon Jackdaw makes ample amends,” See. In connection with this, they they think your declaration ought to be remembered, —that, “ vic tory over a man who does not under stand the language he speaks could do us no honor.” “ For which reason we suppose, ‘upon due consideration, Iriend Si mon has to blazon tortli his own talents,anil endeavour to rear on the discomfiture ot others his own visionary fabric ot literary tame. From tliis, they say, it appears that Simon is attempting to erect a vision ary fabric—that they have heard of schemes proving visionary, but it is new that one should attempt to build so ufisubstantial an object us a vision ary fabric. Upon a grammatical point, they sav vou have taken up Simon Jackdaw and put him down; whereby lie “ stands corrected.’’-—Hut they do not entirely comprehend the exclamation,(oi doub le-headed shot as they think it should termed,) with which you wind up your mighty triumph over him. They do not know what Mr. Murray would say to the improvement they propose lor it, which is to precede as well as lid low it with a mai K ol tu.mii at ion, - thus “ ! Most preposterous indeed !” It was somew hat surprising to them that I should be so roughly handled, I while mV fellow -admirers ol your lu cubrations’ Critic iv Cos. were passed by with no farther notice than a forc ed up ‘ thank ye,’ and a piece of .stale advice. I think they have attributed this partiality to its true cause : that is— That 1 am nut a favorite of the Muses.—But they think it inconsistent in you to pay such deference to the heavenly sisters, considering the earth ly ones were so sadly tousled iu your lirst and second numbers. With regard to the adaptation of vour subject to our latitude, they ap peared to have some doubts : They even said our Christian ‘ philanthro pists’ would act as knowingly in send ing missionaries to floating ice-islands, as you to write about dandies in the l piny woods of Georgia. | 1 will not trouble you by relating | their “ impertinent observations,” fur | tlier than to say, that one, more vvick ; cd than the rest, went so far us to sup pose you in your “sallad days” and j “ green in judgment”—and that yon I write with a soft gvslin quill. Now, worthy friends, a few words l for myself, and I will take mv leave. A man, armed with ms good inten tions, is safer than the soldier “ lock’d up iu steel.” Go on, although slander do its worst. Public opinion will fa vor you, knowing your writings to he spontaneous —it neither expects to find every mushroom well-shaped ; or other production perfect that springs of itself. Your influence over the minds of the ladies cannot he doubted so long as your comparisons are forci ble anil apt. Who among them, that has read your first number, can be so dull of comprehension, as not he able to associate the idea of herself and an “ apple dumpling?” So laudable an undertaking as correcting them in their manners and fashions, must in sure you the sunshine of their smiles. But while I anticipate your success, 1 must express my deep regret, that mv epistle has drawn you aside, (although, hut for a single week,) from your her culean task. How much good you might have done, in that time by un loosing lacings, recommending steel corsets, and correcting tortured shapes, is beyond my powers of calculation. Considering you hound for the Tem ple of Fame, (which is a loftier perch than a Jackdaw ever aspired to,) and above the reach of compliment l shall hereafter desist from my ‘ impertinent observations.’ Singular Occurrence. —On the evening of the 7th inst. about nine o’clock, during the thunder-storm, (in which for some minutes hail stones rattled against the windows) the sloop Macdonough, Barker ly ing at Doyley’s wharf, at the north end of the Battery was struck by the lightning, and injured in a man ner we* have seldom or never be fore witnessed. The electric fluid struck and shivered the top-mast, from which it descended by the mast and rigging, with slight but unequivocal marks of its track, in to the hold, from whence, to all ap pearances, it returned up the mast, splitting and shivering off pieces of the spar passing off through the mast-head into the air again —a por tion of it leaving traces of its flying off below on the bow-sprit and jib boom, and some of it taking a di rection through the cabin and out of a window near the captain, who was thrown out of his birth by the shock. Singular as it may appear, no other person on board fall the stroke ; and the vessel and rigging, excepting the loss of the mast suf fered no material injury. Chur. C.

The Main Chance. —On Monday a vessel entered our harbor, whose arrival was a greater cause of con gratulation than that of any vessel before her. She was not from Liv erpool nor from London ; neither was she from the West or the East Indies—nor had she a very ccnly cargo. Not to keep the reader in suspense,—she was not even from sea ; nor, in truth was she from up the bay, or from any of the great ri vers in our neighbourhood. To come to the point, we refer to tfto arrival of the sclir. Rebecca Ed wards, Capt. Burgess, from Hali fax, N.

Boston, April 24. Mr. Adame's donation to the town of —We have seen a pam phlet containing the deeds of gift from the Hon. John Adams of seve ral pieces of land, and of his libra ry. The first deed begins in the following terms. “ Know all men by these presents, that I, John Ad ams of Quincy, in the county of Norfolk, Esquire, in consideration of the veneration I feel for the resi dence of my ancestors and the place of my nativity and ol the habitual affection l bear to the inhabitants, with whom I have so happily lived for more than eighty-six years ; and of my sincere desire to promote their happiness, and the instruc tion of their posterity in religion, morality and all usefularts and sci ences, by contributing all in my power for these purposes, do here by give, grant, &c.” The instru ment then proceeds to describe two lots of land, called the Cedar Pas ture and Mount Ararat pasture, and to convey them to the town ol Quin cy upon certain conditions, the most material of which is in the following words: “ That the rent of the herbage of these pastures, together with the profits arising from the sale of wood, luel of any kind, timber and stone, be strictly applied to the following purposes, viz: To be placed at interest in some solid fund either of the Com monwealth or of the United States, and the interest again placed at in terest as it arises, until the amount shall be sufficient with what the town may grant other individuals subscribe, or the probable sale of pews produce, to raise a fund lor the completing and furnishing of a Temple to be built of stone, to lie taken from the premises, lor the public worship of God, and the pub lic instruction in religion and mo rality, for the use of the Congrega tional Society in that town; and next after the completion ot said temple, that all the future rents, profits and emoluments arising Irom said land, be applied to the support of a school for the teaching of the Greek and Latin Languages, and any other languages, arts and sci ences, which a majority ol the min isters, magistrates, lawyers and physicians inhabiting in the said town may advise.” I his deed was executed June 25, 1822, and the grant was accepted by vote ol the town with the restrictions and con ditions on the Bth of July, and a vote of thanks passed.

The resolution laid before the parliament of Lower Canada, rela tive to the trade between that coun try and this, is of a singular char acter.
