The following let*er, said to have been writ ten bv this wom^n, two days before her death, was addressed to a lady of Franklort, who had been a kind friend during her -»tay in prison with her husband, and politely delivered by Mr Beauchamp’s aged father, a few days after the execution. It is dated July 5, 1826. “Dear Madam: I should be wanting in that gratitude I owe you,could I withhold this last tribute of exalted north. “This day’s sun will set to rise no more upon my unfortunate husband and myself. But we die happy and contented. His spirit soars a loft, in the conscious rectitude of his life. He die- without a sigh of regret for his tal ly fall.— He dies for pursuing the dearest dictates of his conscience. I feel that he has done right, that he has done a glorious deed, a just action, in the sight of all just spirits in the wide universe. Although he was my all on earth, without whom I would never have lived in any event; & and although the death of Col. Sharp has cost us both our lives, yet,strange as it may seem to some I can never regret it. No, I would delib erately have chosen, the day Mr. Beauchamp stai led to Frankfort to kill Col. Sharp, to have Iain down with him, as I shall this evening dj and have gladly quit the world, rather than that Col. Sharp should have lived. These were the mutual feelings which we then expressed, and we do not shrink from acting up to them. As to myself, whatever weak minds may say of it, I glory to die with the lord of my bosom’s love, whoso freely dies for me. I am sensible no one can possibly epneeive of the happy, cheerful tranquility, nay, joy, with which we await out destined hour to quit this world. A few hours more, and we shall be in eternity. Your kind ness and sympathy, my dear madam, also adds, a most gratifying solace to the mind of your grateful but (Iving. ANN BEAUCHAMP. Mrs.-— We have-been a long time in the habit of tpe aking of Oliver Cromwell in the language ot Hume and other British historians. Cromwell {remarks a correspondent) governed England - with great prudence and justice. He united Scotland ana Ireland with England. To him the Euglish owe the rich island of Jamaica and the successes of Admiral Blake in tin* Mediter ranean. He gave to their commerce the fa mous navigation act, and while hi r ;.-r 1 mo narch of England, under *!te title ot Lord Pro tector, he never stained his hands with blood, but governed tnercifu ly and righteously. H< was a religious man after the manners ot that day; which was called by the opposite party pu ritanical ^ or as they conceived “righteous over much.’* [Boston Patriot. AMERICAN GENIUS. We are not a little gratifi d to'learn, from the New York Statesman, that the long sought principle of labor-saving in spinning silk, flax, and hemp of graduated fineness,for which large premiums have been offered by various Euro pean governments, and societies established for the promotion of the useful arts, is now a boutto be brought into practical operation by the talents and genius of an American citizen. An ingeniously constructed machine, to attain this important object, is now exhibiting in New York. It is declared to be adapted to the spin ning of flax, hemp, or silk, and is constructed on the most simple, certain and safe principles, and may be easily suited to the manufacture of sail cloths, linen, cambricks, atiC silk, or adapt cd, by enlargement, to the manufacture of cor dage. Its advantages over other improver ments cannot, without the sight of the model, be clearly delineated to the inquiiing and op erative mechanic. 1 he flax, hem >, or silk, is to be cleansed or hatcheled, and its fibres properly divided and placed on the* machine, when a small instrument, called a feeder, takes it up and passes it between others *wh:ch are connected with spindles, when it passes through another singular and curious revolving in strument called the evener, which tvyists and untwists (if necessary) the thread, it too large from anv cause, or from defect in the flax, and puts it into thread of any. fineness or coarse ness desired, and at on^ single operation, from flax, hemp or silk, which ever may In* used. The machinery may be multiplied similar •o the principle of spinning cotton. It is thought 'o be admirably adapted to the eastern, middle and southern states, as well as for private anti ;» ntecl families, both in town and country. Balt. Jmer. From the American Sentinel August 9. bloody works. "Allfor love.:'— It is reported, that a couple fyoung sons of Sainr C rispin, who had both placed tlitir affections on the same fair one, on Monday afternoon proceeded to Windmill, or, as it is sometimes cMled, Gallows’ Island, op posite this city, to settle their dispute in an hon orable way, after the manner of gentlemen, “in high places.” Three shots were exchanged with as much coolness as could have been ex hibited by Randolph or Clay, although one of jhem is reported to have turned a little p&lc> as the contents of his tvttgomst’s pistol whizzed by his ear. After the third round, the parties, at the instance of their seconds, shook hands, and ended their quarrel over a pint of brandy. It has been since ascertained, that the pistols were loaded the first time with paper balls, the second time with sand, and the last time, with quids of tobacco. Laic suit in England— In the case of Lady Portsmouth, against whom a law suit for a di vorce had been instituted by Lord Portsmouth, the costs in the Ecclesiastical Court, are said to have amounted to 30,000 pounds sterling, or more than one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Phil. Gaz. Communicated for the Richmond Compiler. Messrs. Editors: If you have ever been ha rassed and teazed to death, by hearing one of your friends repeating and re-repeating the same old story, times without number, you must certainly feel the most sympathetic sympa thy with the cot respondent who now addresses you, who desires you to publish, Pro'Bono Publico, and more especially for the benefit ol all story tellers, the following scrap lately found in the port folio of a quandam fellow student. ‘NOLI ME TANGERE.* “Charley King the other day told me of a plan they have at his boarding house, of pre venting the repetition of stories, which every one has heard a dozen times over. Uc says that as soon as a fellow begins a story which is familiar to all at table, the different individual* immediately seize the stoppers of the decan ters, and without speaking a word put them in the receptacles designed for them by nature and by reason. This is a sign that the story is o!d, and it is commonly termed by them, ‘ corking up a story' “ The joke-has sometimes been carried so far, that the rules of politeness have been trans gressed, while a stranger was giv ing a simple narrative: and Charley tells me,that now, not one of the regular boarders ever proceeds more than one or two sentences in relating the his i tory of an event, without looking about to see if his story is corked up or not. I think this is no j ; bad plan—for ii is sometimes an intolerable bore, to have a fellow poking a worn-out story (or lie) into your ear’s for the seventy-ninth time. “ I remember once being with Ned '1 omp kins, when some person began to-tell a story, which was as familiar to us all, as our A II C\s. Although the joke was a grand one, nobody laughed, and the poor fellow who told it, looked woefully disconcerted. ‘ That’s a capital story,’ said Ned, in a dry tone, ‘but some confounded rascal has been putting ii in the newspapers!’ ” 0 OBITUARY.

A WOKTl TO THOSE WHO AHE TO.VD OF EAST niBIJTO. The complaint against hard and uneasy saddles, which is, for the most part, a just and general one, and is really a grievance D those who have intu h riding to do, has caused him to turn his mind pal ticularly to that subject, with a view, if possible, to remedy the evil.-* He can with confidence assure the public, that he has accomplished it. i lie plan projected is by means of strong and well tempered steel springs, so constructed as to support the saddle seat, and give much greater ease to both rider and horse, than saddles made in the common wav, or any other that he has ever seen can pos sibly do. The plan is entirely d.fferent from the En glish elastic saddles with spring bars of steel, whale bone, &c. and also from those with wire springs; and he conceives much superior to either, as the elasticity is greater, and the tree not being put out of its original form, will not be subject to hurting horses on journeys, which is complained of in the saddh-s with spring bars. A number of gentlemen have those saddles now in use, and but one sentiment exist* among them in favor of their superiority. The invention is equally as applies ble to ladies' saddles as to gentlemen's. Any person desirous of purchasing those easy saddles, is at liberty first to make trial of one and judge of their ease for themselves.
