Important Invention.—W e have just seen the
model of a vessel, constructed on the princi
T0fa steam-packet, propelled by paddles,
K fr„m its peculiar mechanism, it completely
JlSes the necessity of steam. The given
rower is communicated by four revolving sails
[criirot shape.) placed over the centre of the
which are acted upon by the wind from
point whatever, without in the least inter
rupting the progress of the vessel. The seri
al consequences often arising from the effects
of sudden squalls are hereby completely obvia
ted from the accelerated horizontal action which
sails acquire, one counteracting the weight
of the other in a direct ratio. This invention
” a|S0 ^ of infinite utility in the construction
of mills used in every description ol manufac
ture In fact we deem it one of the most im
rtant discoveries of modern times. The in
ventor Mr John Willis, of whose talent and
Lnius we have often spoken, intends taking
U a patent for the discovery.

One of the late Philadelphia papers relates a
most melancholy instance of depravity, termi
mtin* fatally, in infancy, at a moment when
fortune was prepared to shower her favors up
on the hapless victim of evil associations. It
was the case of a lad from the country, of most
respectable and worthy connections, who had
been reared in habits of innocence and virtue,
until apprenticed to the printing business in
that city, and who, by ignorantly at first going
out into the streets at night to play with other
bovs was gradually led "on to the formation of
pverv evil habit, which he expiated by an ear
lv and disgraceful death in a foreign land, just
at the time when he might have inherited a
handsome estate. t
This is no uncommon incident, and the chro
nicles ol our jails, penitentiaries, and alms-hous
es abound in similar narratives.
Amongst our philanthropists who are busy in
forming societies and plans for the suppression
of vice and immortality, none has yet directed
attention to this fruitful source of crime and con
sequent misery. Can there be no plan devised
for keeping boys off the streets at night? Can
not those "assemblages at the corners, the fire
engine houses, and other places of resort, be
dispersed. Is there no mode of preventing them
from parading our streets at all hours of the
night and disturbing the sleep of others by their
noisy and tumultuous uproar? If the police can
not suppress this nuisance, certainly it is incum
bent upon the parents, guardians and masters
to employ or retain these minors at home. Can
those to whom the government of youth is con
fided, sleep soundly whilst their charges are
thus spending their nights in disgraceful and de
moralising rioting and debauchery? Christians
Patriots. Parents, what says conscience!!!

Outrage.—On Saturday evening last, an in
famous outrage was committed by some person
or persons unknown, in the Free Church, in this
city. While the minister of that Society was
delivering his Sermon, as usual, to his congre
gation, a tremendous explosion, equal to that of;
a twelve pounder, took place within the build
ing, not in the audience room, but in the enclos
ed passage to the north aisle. The sash of the
window near the explosion was broken out, and
a man near the door was somewhat injured.—
Much fright and some fainting was occasioned,
but happily no great actual injury sustained.—
The explosion was of gun powder prepared
like that of a petard.
During the same evening, as we hear, a mob
collected near the meeting house of the African
M>»thodi<ts, and disturbed the worship of the
people assembled there. One colored man is
said to be seriously injured. Other outbreak
ing* of lawless violence have repeatedly taken
place of late in this city. Are there no means
to repress these disorders, and to secure our fa
milies, and dwellings and churches from the
danger and barbarous malignity of such as*

A Vw Engine of H«r.—A new instrument or
machine has been invented by Mr Toplis, of the
Museum of National Manufactories in London,
which he considers calculated to put an end to
WarN and to prevent civilized nations from
engaging hereafter in the work of mutual de
struction.
Mr. Toplis has constructed an engine, which,
according to his views, will render armed mul
t tudes powerless against any people disposed
defend themselves; a score of men, with this
a'*Xiiiary power, being competent to annihilate
m* army which could he collected. The
jmgme is portable, and, without its casing, might
^ carried bv two men; mounted on its proper
carriage, it can be moved w ith celerity into any
situation where horses or men can go; it is rea
L>'for action in a moment, and can be made, at
Wl'h to pour out, for any desired time, a conti
nuous stream of bullets, which can be di
rected towards any point or object, with the
mtie facility as the stream of water from a fire
rigine and with perfect precision; whilst the
men who direct it are sheltered in entire secu
f,!.v- Mr. Toplis looks forward with so much
confidence to the moral influence which this new
* eighty power must exercise upon the world,

DIED,
In Washington, on the 20th instant, after a
short illness, Mr. William Lambert, an old and
respectable inhabitant of that city, and formerly
Chief Clerk in the Clerk’s Office of the House of
Representatives of the United States.
In Baltimore, on the 19th inst, at a quarter af
ter 11 o’clock, A M. the most Rev. James Whit
field, Arch Bishop of Baltimore. He was
born at Liverpool in England, on the 3d of No
vember, 1770. Hts father, James Whitfield, a
respectable merchant of that city, gave him the
advantages of a liberal education. At the age
i of seventeen, he was bereaved of his father,
and became the protector of his mother. To
assuage her grief and to restore her sinking
health, he accompanied her to Italy. On his
return from that country, where he had been for
some time engaged in mercantile pursuits, he
: found himself in France at the time when Napo
leon had decreed that every Englishman in
France was a prisoner. He spent the greatest
part of his exile in Lyons, where he became
acquainted with Ambrose Marechal, the late
Arch Bishop of Baltimore, who was then pro
fessor of Theology in the Seminary in that city.
The piety of his youth inclined his mind to the
sacerdotal state, and he commenced the study
of divinity under the direction of his learned
and pious friend. He distinguished himself by
his solid judgment and persevering industry,
and his illustrious professor has often been heard
to relate the anecdote, that his fellow students
would frequently request him to cause the young
Englishmen to recite, so much were they taken
with the elegance of his diction, and the perspi
cuity of his arguments. In the year 1809 he
was ordained priest in the city ol Lyons. After
the death of his mother he returned to England,
and was employed in the discharge of paro
chial duties in the town of Crosby.
When Dr. Marechal was elevated to the Arch
episcopal see of Baltimore, he wrote to Mi Whit
field, earnestly soliciting him to give his assist
ance to the flock which Providence had placed
under his charge. He complied with the re
quest of his former friend, and landed on our
shores on the 8th Sept. 1817. He was immedi
ately appointed one of the pastors of St. Peters,
and performed the duties annexed to that office
with zeal and piety. In 1825, by a specal indult
he received the degree of Doctot of Divinity
from the Court of Rome. At the death of the
most Rev. Arch Bishop Marechal, his name was
first on the list which was sent to Rome to re
ceive the sanction of his holiness, and he was
soon after consecrated Arch Bishop of Balti
more in the Cathedral in this city. His career
in this elevated station was marked with pru
dence and zeal. It was through his solicitude
that was held the first provincial council, which
spread universal satisfaction through the catho
lic congregations of this country. His fortune
was considerable, and it was generously conse
crated to the purposes of religion. The Cathedra
experienced his liberality, and the beautiful edi
fice of St. James’s in our city is a lasting monu
ment of his munificence. Of him may be said,
what can be said of few, he entered the career
of honors in wealth, and left it poor. Such was
Arch Bishop Whitfield: “ he has fought the good
fight, he has finished his course, he has kept the
faith;” for the rest is left to him a crown of jus
tice, which the just Judge will render to him.
Balt. Amer.
It is with feelings of deep regret we announce
the death of Thomas S. Grimke, Esq. of South
Carolina. Travelling on last Saturday (11th
inst.) from Cincinnati to this city, he was seized
with sudden illness in the stage-coach, (his at
tack being, it is supposed, of cholera.) and una
ble to proceed further, he was left at Anderson’s
tavern, twenty-four miles west of Columbus, un
der the care of its inmates, where he expired on
the following day.
It is consoling to remark, that his eyes were
not closed solely amidststrangers. His brother,
the Hon Judge Grimke, of this State, being in
Columbus, to meet him on his arrival, was early
enough apprized of the melancholy occurrence
to reach the bedside of the deceased on the eve
ning of his attack, and thus to alleviate his suf
ferings till his last moments. His remains were
brought to this city on Monday evening, ac
companied by several of our most respectable
citizens, and consigned to the silent tomb. In
the decease of T. S. Grimke, Learning has lost
her brightest gem and Eloquence her chasest
ornament!—Columbus (Ohio) Sentinel.

DUCATION.
BROOKVILLE ACADEMY.
THE Trustees of this Institution, situated in
Brookville, Montgomery County, Mary
land, about 20 miles from Washington, and 28
from Baltimore and Frederick Cities, deem it
proper to inform the public that they have en
gaged Nathan C. Brooks, A. M. as Principal of
this Academy. Mr. Brooks is a gentleman o
most unexceptionable character, of high standf
ing as a scientific and classical scholar, and of
very considerable experience in the education
of youth, having been very advantageously
known for some years past as the Principal of
Franklin Academy at Reisterstown; and the
high reputation which that school attained un
der him, is strong evidence of his qualifications
for such a station.
The central position and convenient distance
of Brookville Academy from the cities of Wash
ington, Baltimore, and Frederick; its retired si
tuation and location in a healthy, moral, and
intelligent neighborhood, in which the retail of
spiritous liquors is prohibited by an express act
of the Legislature, and where there is, conse
quently, less danger of the youthful mind beco
ming contaminated by the frequent observa
tion of vice and immorality; together with the
high moral and scientific qualifications of Mr.
Brooks, the Board of Trustees flatter themselves
will give their Academy claims upon public pa
tronage which are surpassed by none, and per
haps equalled by very few, similar institutions
in the State.
Mr. Brooks will enter upon his duties in the
Academy on the 8th September next, and will
be assisted by three gentlemen well qualified to
instruct the pupils in their respective depart
ments.
The terms for tuition in English, Mathema
tics, and Ancient Languages, Board, Washing,
Rent, and Fuel, 330 374 cents per quarter. The
modern languages are 86 per quarter each. No
money will be required in advance, 4or either
board or tuition; but respectable references
must be given to the President of the Board of
Trustees, on application for admission.
For a more detailed statement of the course
of studies, regulations, &c. of this Institution,
the Board will refer the public to the accompa
nying prospectus of the Institutibn.

breath, and taste in the mouth, dec.; all of which
are produced from foul or decayed Teeth.
