IS: Ik A - ' .If :4 1 i : EVEXINGS IN GREECE. , The following elegant version of mythological sto fVi is extracted from a sacred volume of Moored Evening's in Greece, just published a wor,k abound ing in gracefurandTanciful descriptions: As Love, one summer eve was straying, w Who should he see, at that soft hoar, - But young Minerva, gravely playing Her flute, within an olive bower. I need not say, " 'tis Love's opinion . .That, grave or merry, good or ill M The sex bow all to her dominion," As woman wUl be woman still. Though seldom yet the boy hath given To learned dames his smiles or sighs, So handsome Pallas look'd that even, . Love quite forgot the maid was wise, besides, a youth of his discerning 'j ' Knew well that, byVshady rill, At sunset hour whaler her learning A woman will be woman still. tier flute he praised in terms ecstatic, Wishing it dumb nor cared how booh For wisdom's notes, howe'er chromatic, To love seem always out of tune. Cut long as he found face to flatter, The nymph found breath to shake and thril! ; As weaker wise it doth not matter Woman, at heart, is woman still. Love chang'd his plan with warmth exclaiming "How brilliant was her lips' soft dye!" And much that flute, the sly rogue blaming, For twisting lips, so sweet, awry. The nymph look'd down beneath her features Reflected on the passing rill, And starte'd, shriek'd, for, ah, ye creatures'. Ev'n when divine, you're woman still. dtrick frBtn the lips it made so odious That graceless flute the goddess tool, And while yet fiU'd with breath melodious, Flung it into the glassy bitook ; Where, as its vocal life was fleeting As down the current, faint and shrill, At distance long 'twas heard repeating, Wo, alas, vain woman still!" Wonderful Invention. A watchmaker of the name of Buschmann, living at Elsen hurg, not far from Attenburg, in Saxony, has contrived a piece of machinery, which, with out the assistance of steam, has been found s.trong enough to move a heavily laden wag on, placed in a fresh ploughed field, with the greatest ease, although sixteen horses could not stir it. The machine may be easily han dled, and the vehicle moved by it most safely managed. The inventor has been offered $200,000 for the secret ; but as he had obtained patents from the principal German govern ments, he has refused all offers. Danville Repdrtcr. New Invention. A gum elastic cloak, Tined with silk, has been invented in Balti more. It is intended to hp t! shoulders in wet weather, and will effectually shield the person and clothes of the weirer. When not wanted, it can bo folded up into a very small bulk, and, on this account, must be found very useful and convenient. We mean to have one ordered on for our own use, so as to be ready for the next fall elections. Cin. We understand that Mr. Stephenson, the celebra ted engineer of the Liverpool and Manchester rail way, is now at Paris making arrangements for con structing the railway between Calais and thai capi tal. We shall soon see the Liverpool merchant ma ting his journey to Paris in 24 hours. 'en. Miles of Paper. Paper used to be sold by the sheet, the quire, or the ream ; but, in "the march of improvement" stationary wjjl not remain stationary, and so it is now sold by measure. The following order was re ceived from a pottery firm the other day. The writer, it will be observed, :gives his orders with as much indifference as tftough they were ot at all extraordinary! Gentlemen Please to send us ten miles of your best printing paper in length, six miles to he thirty inches broad, and four miles to be twenty-two inches broad, to be wrapped on wooden rollers, according to the plan given. The object of having the paper of such great length is, that it may be printed on engraved cylinders, in the same way as calicoes, &c. A Petrifaction. Baron Steuben died ofapo" plexy at Steuben, Oneida Co. N. Y. in Novem ber 1795. Agreeably to his request his remains were wrapped in his cloak, enclo sed in a plain coffin, and deposited in a rttYC witliout cX stone 1 any years after, as we learn by a memoir in the N. Y. Com. Ad vertiser, his body ivas disinterred for the pur pose of burial in another place, and it was iound to have passed into a stale of complete petrifaction, and is believed to remain in that .state of preservation to this day, The features of his face were as unchanged as on the day of his interment. In the British House of Commons, on the day of the death of Mr. Wilberforce, Mr Buxton, in the course of the debate on the slavery bill, made t he lol lir.ving reference to the deceased : He could not name him now without feelings of emotion he meant Mr. Wilbecforce j he bore a high testimony to the character of that gentleman, and regretted that he had not lived to see the cause he had so longand so ably advocated carried into full execution. To no man were the words of the poet more applicable : A veteran warrior in the Christian field, ' t x10 neyer saw the sword he could not wield, ' ,i0 when occasion justified its use, " Had wit as bright as ready to produce : " hL'SS l"'.'5 ;liKhtened page, num recoras 01 an earner ae C! o r ,1 I j.

Newbern. 30th May, 1833. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, April 12th, 1833. TTN the late conflagration of the Treasury JJ. building, nearly all the correspondence of the Secretary of the Treasury, from the estab lishment of the Department to the 31st March, 1833, was destroyed including, as veil the original letters and communications addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, as the recordt of the letters and communications written by him. With a view to repair the loss, as far as may be practicable, all officers of the United States, are requested to cause copies to be pre pared, and authenticated by them, of any let ters (excepting those . hereinafter alluded to, which they may at any time have written to) or received from, the Secretary of the Treasu ry ; and all those who have been in office, and other individuals throughout the United States, are invited to do the same. That this correv pondence may be arranged into appropriate books, it is requested that it be copied on fo lio foolscap paper, with a sufficient margin on all sides to admit of binding, and that no more than one letter be contained on a leaf. It i also requested, that the copies be written in a plain and distinct or engrossing hand. Where the original letter can be spared it would be preferred. The reasonable expense incurred in copying the papers now requested, not el ceeding the rate of ten cents for every, hundred words, will be defrayed by the Department. The correspondence which has been saved and of which, therefore, no copies are desired, are the records of the letters written by tho Secretary of the Treasury to Presidents ano Cashiers of Banks, from the 1st October, 1819. to the 20th February, 1833; all the correspon dence relating to Revolutionary claims una the act of 15th May, 1828, and to claims o Virginia officers to half pay, under the act ot 5th Julv, 1832; and to applications for tne nefito of the acts of the 2d March, 1WI, ana 14th July, 132, for the relief of certain insol vent debtors of the United States.
