vcmber in the old calendar correspondinp;
to the 11th of December in the new. As
there are probably many ot our readers
who do not understand why there are two
methods of reckoning time among Chris
tian nations, we have prepared the fol
lowing account of the old and new style
from the Encyclopedia.
About 46 years before Christy Julius
Ctesar formed a new calendar which was
much more perfect than those that pre
ceded it. He made the year to consist
of 365 days, and the annual excess of 6
hours, which amounted to one day in 4
years, was takeu into account by making
every fourth year consist of 366 days.
This year was called Bissu'tile by the Ro
mans, but our English ancestors gJTe it
the name of Leap year—very improperly,
for instead of leaping {or skipping over)
a day, one is added to the year. Caesar’s
correction of the calendar was imperfect,
being founded on th« supposition that
the solar year consisted of 365 days,’6
hours, whereas the true solar year, or
that period in which the sun performs
its revolution in the ecliptic from any
equinox or solstice to the same again,
consists of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes,
45d seconds. Thus the Julian year ex
ceeded the solar 11 minutes 14i seconds,
which amounted to a whole lay in 130
years. In consequence of this inacuracy,
the Julian calendar, the vernal equinox,
the time when the sun crosses the equi
noctial line in the spring,) w hich happened
on the 25th of March in the time of Ju
lius Cxsar, had receded,to the 21st of
March, in the year 325, and was fixed to
that day by the council of Nice. At
tempts were afterwards made at different
tinipc in »*flbct some chanire in the calen-
sonie time. At length, looking earnestly
in the prisoner’s face, he enquired if h«
had been induced to make that plea by
the hope of pardon ? He replied that he
hud done it deliberately. His lordship
told him to consider a short time before
he determined in that plea; the prisoner
“shook his head, reclined on his hand,
and again covered his face, agitated by
grief.”
Clerk of the Shall I entef
the verdict, my lord ?”
The Jierorder—“ Wait a short time.’*
The prisoner was then removed } and
on being brought buck, and on saying
that he persisted in his plea, the judge*
putting on his black cap, addressed hin^
in a very solemn manner, and, after urg
ing him not to indulge the hope of a par
don, proceeded to pronounce tl.e.sentence
of death. The prisoner seemed to loso
all power of breathing, and dropped down
his head : Mi‘. Smith, one of the prose
cutors, who had before attempted to ad
dress the court, ‘made way through the
crowd, by the witness box, and very agi-
tatingly exclaimed :
“ My lord, as the prosecutor, I recom
mend him to merc.>« if mercy can be
shown. The conse(iuences of his crime
were limited ; the public have suffered
nothing—haruJy any thing.”
Lord CJifibrd le.iiit back in his seat,
greatly afl'ected ; l)Ut made no reply. Tiic
prisoner was then removed fiom the
dock, amidst the deathly silence of a
crowded court, many of the persons pre
sent well knowing the prisoner and his
father the banker.

blv recollect that the year 1800 was not
a leap year, although 1796 was. By this
diminution of the number of leap years,
(a diminution of 3 days in 400 years) the
error in the pi'csent calendar will not ex
ceed a day and a half in 5000 years.
The calendar thus reformed by Pope
Gregory was imnu-diaiely introduced in
to ail catholic countries, but the protes-
tf.nl'i, ailiiatcd by an unworthy jealousy,
declined to receive a measure which
originated among the cath)lics. Their
objectiuus, however, were gradually re
moved, and in 1752, when the en or had
increased to 11 days, the new style was
intruduced into the B’ritish empire,
(which included the present United
Stales) by an act of parliament. Eleven
days were .struck out of the calendar, the
third of SepleiiiLer being reckoned the
i‘fj\n-t'^enlh. All the other protestanl
states have adopted the new style, but
Itussia, where the established religion is
that of the Greek church, and »he Chris
tians attached to the Greek church in the
varlo’fs provinces of Turkey, have to this
day obstinately rejected the new calen-
diir, and siill reckon by the old style.
This has occasioned much confusion and
anparent contradiction in the intelligence
received from Greece, since the com-
'Tienrement of the pre.sent contest The
'iieeks, in their accounts of battles and
other events, make use of the old style,
V, hile the English, French, Americans,
t:c. in that country, conform t,heir dates

A very afiecting trial for forgery re
cently took place at Bristol, England. Mr.
Savary, a young man, the son of a res
pectable banker of that city, plead guilty
at the bar to a charge of forging a bill of
exchange, signed with a fictitious name.
The plea of “guilty” was wholly unex
pected by the court; and being delivered
in a firm voice, produced a great cfTect,
particubrly on Judge Gitlbrd, who
at-d. r?nr.\ined siknt for
about thirty miles fioin this place. A
company of about fifteen left here on last
Thursday, and came on their camp in a
very remote and mountaneous part of the
country. 'I'iiey had a small paper mill
to go by water, and had n>ade about
geooo, principally on the banks of Ten
nessee, South-Carolina and New-Orleans.
Two of the party were tuken and three
made their csrape ; the two ringleaders,
Sturdevant and Allen made their escape,
but it is expected they will be taken. I
have seen the money and do noi hesitate
to say, that I should have considered it
genuine. The information catne from a

CANALS ny STEAM.
The Cincinnati Eronorium informs that
at the woollen manufactory in that city,
there is a model of a machine for exca-
valitig the earth for the formation of ca
nals, the iHvention of Mr. Erench, Prac
tical Engineer. It excavates, elevates,
and places the earth on the side of the
canal, at any given distiince from its mar
gin, at one operation. 7'he great sim
plicity of its construction and movements,
the almost certainty of its great practical
utility, will render its invention at this
])articular period a matter of congratu
lation to the citizens of this coutitry, and
we trust, of profit to its ingenious inven
tor. We understand a machine of suf
ficient magnitude is now building, and
expect this season to see steam successful
ly applied to digging canals.
