doner!, and wis faceted*1 hy 1 wonderful account of an Automaton Chdv-player; an invention which many years a^o. is da¬ ted to rave aflonifhed fome of the princi¬ pal monarchs in Europe.—The account of this phenomenon, like the argument of a certain gentleman at the bar, was defini¬ tive of Itfelf by proving too much. It was ftated that this wonderful piece of me- chanifm would watch the chefs-board with a countenance of the most abforbing inter¬ cut, and if a falfc move was made by his opponent, would fmite the table with his hand to testify his indignation like ether gentlemen of the honorable fnciety of gam¬ ble!^. Now when we are told that a piece of wood and iron can be fo moved by the power of mechanic?, ae to feel and to ex- prefs indignation in its proper place, we arc told in other words, that all this ma¬ chinery had an intellect concealed fome- where behind it, and that by means of a fecret fpring or otherwife, a human body was playing the game of chefs. The ac¬ count of this phenomenon fhaied the fate of other wonders—it was admired, talked about and forgotten. Next in order, comes the Velocipede, or the ait of turning a man into a horfe and carriage—the driver and the horfe aienow undoubtedly the fame animal, fo that we may rationally prefume on the plain prin¬ ciple of felf love, that the driver will feel fome compaffion for bis beast. We find from thi perufal of a Philadelphia paper, that it is now propofed to add tails to this wonderful vehicle, by which, we (hall be enabled to fail, and walk, and ride upon dry land at one and the fame instant of time. In cafe a formidable obstacle is intcrpofed, the rider has nothing elfe to do, taan to turn pack horfe and as one good turn deferves another, to be the bearer of his carriage. How far this improvement will fucceed must be tested by future exper¬ iment. This machine may pioperly be denominated a new and improved mode of giving horfes an holiday. We are now told by a Vienna paper, that the dominions of the air, are next in order to be invaded by man ; that a native of Germany has invented a mode of /lying with a pair of wings.—Bal. Chron.

This tabic shows the number of persons who wore living in their respective ages current. Use which may be made of this fable. Suppose it was required to know the odds of a man of 25 years of age dying within the year. Look in the table, and you will find in the column against 9.5, that there arc alive 5671 in ths following ve»r> tifc 3fi\ there are only 560 living ; therefore it is 560 to 7, that a person of 25 years of age lives one year ; or, when reduced, SO, to 1. If you would know the odds of a man of 40 living 7 years, you will find the number of persons alive 47, in the table, to be 377, which are to be subtracted from the number of persons alive at -30 years of age, which are 445 ; the differ- once being, 68, shows that the persons dying in 7 years is 68 ; therefore it is 377 to 68, or nearly 51 to 1, that a man of 40 lives 7 years. If you would know how many years a man of 40 has an equal chance to| live, look in the table against 40, and you will find alive then 445; then look in the table till you come to half that number, viz. 2,22, which shows that it is nearly an equal wager, that a inau of 40 years of age lives 22 years. A more extraordinary instance of the fecundity of a cow, than 'he following, we believe, is not on record :— She produced in July 1815, five calves. May 1816, three do. March, 1817,threedo. May, 1818, two do. April, 1819, three do. making together sixteen in the space of four years. The skins of the first live are preserved ; the three last are living, find considered by judges to be very fine ones.

[We insert the following letter and Lo¬ cation Ticket for the information of surh individuals a* they may concern, and at the same timo to shew some part of the exertions now making to pro¬ mote the prosperity of the country.] Copy of a letter to D. M'Gregor Rogers. Esq. Chairman of the Land Board, Newcastle Dis¬ trict. Lieutenant Governor** Office^ JpriSZQlky 1819. Sir, I am directed by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, to reply to your letter of the 15th inst. fn explanation of those particular point? on which you, in the name of the Land Board of the New¬ castle District, solicit more precise infor¬ mation than that contained in the instruc¬ tions transmitted to you by the Clerk of th»' Executive Council. In the first place—With regard lo such other persons besides Emicr.ints, as the Board may be authorized to grant Locations to, I am to explain to you, that by such M other persons," are to be un¬ derstood such able settlers as resided in the District before the War, and produce due certificates of having done their duty in its defence. Secondly—With regard to Military claimants. No Military claimant, as such, is referred to the Board :—being to receive their Lands gratuitously in the Military Settlement, any dispensation of that sort mustbeapproved on application to the Lieutenant Governor in Council- Thirdly.—The Sons and Daughters of U. E. Loyalists being entitled to gratu¬ itous grants of 200 Acres, must apply to the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Fourthly.— Persons arriving from the United States, and bringing due certifi¬ cates of their being British born Subjects, are admissable by the Board. Fifthly.—A form of Ticket of Loca¬ tion, will be transmitted to the Chairman of the Board, in which will be specified the conditions of settlement. Sixthly.—Ifis Excellency is of opinion that the pre-euce of lhc Chairmau is not necessary at every meeting of the Board, any three of the Member* constitute a Board, aud may proceed to act accord¬ ingly. "Seveuthly.—The Settler should be thoroughly instructed that in the event of iir- rinding iniy improvement on the Lot to which he may be located, he is immediately to return with his Ticket of Location to the Board, and report the circumstance for the information of the Government. Should he fail in this par¬ ticular, he can sxpect no confirmation of the Grant to him. In this case the Board will appoiut him another Location. Eighthly—With regard to the difficul¬ ty that may be experienced by the Settler in finding his particular Lot. His Ex¬ cellency bids me observe, that in order to remunerate the person who mi^ht be employed to point it out to him, the Set¬ tler must be burthened with another fee ; and as in the case of persons located by the Surveyor General's Office ; no such precaution is practised. His Excellency does not perceive the necessity of the re¬ gulation. J am, &c. (Signed) CHILLIER. Form of Location Ticket. LAND BOARD, District. A.

On Thurfday laft appeared in the Quebec Ga2ette, a proclamation for in- forcing the Quarantine law on all veftels, without exception, where-ever from, which might come into the harbor, to remain forty days off the river St. Charles, unlefs previoufly releafed by licence fiom the Governor. The fupposed ncceffity for tin* very ftrong meafure wc deeply deplo¬ red, and had written fome brief obferva- tions to that effect, for our Supplement of Friday lafl ; but learning that that proclama¬ tion was incorrect, and that a more correct one would Ipeedily be publifhed, we fup- prcfled our remarks. The correct one appeared in yefterday's Gazette ; and we are happy to find that the quarantine is now limited to veiTcli from Ireland, the Clyde, Brifloland Liverpool : and of thofe only fuch vefiels whofe detention may be ordered, by directions to that effect from the harbour-maflcr of Quebec ; fubject to releafe by Licence under fignature of two Executive Councillors, without fee or emolument of any kind. Hence we have rcafon to fuppofc that po vcfftl will be eKpofed to fttch detention without fpecia! caufc rendering fitch detention ind if pen- fable. The ncccfluy of doing quarantine is unqueltionably pitiable, not only as it affects trade, but on account ofthofc who may be detained on board, particularly mould there be any number of emigrants. But, lamentable as the care may be, it mnft be viewed as the lead, in a choice of evils.—Quebec Mercury. The tranfttions in the weather here are fomewhat remarkable.
