A handsome monument to Godfrey, the in ventor of the quadrant, has been prepared for the raercanuie worary company ot rhiladelphia. 1 he ceremony or placing it over, his grave at Laurel Hill, took place lately. 'An- address was delivered on the occasion by Dr. G. Emmerson. "The Mercantile Library Company," remarks the Philadelphia Gazette, s "have undertaken to do this honor to an American and a man of ge nius, Avhorn Europeans have endeavored to de prive of the just fame he isv entitled to, as the inventor of so important an instrument as the quadrant." ;, The above paragraph reminds us of what we have heard, that a son of Godfrey, bearing ths same name, Thomas, lived for several years in Wilmington, died here, in 1763, and liee buried in the Churchyard of St. James. An old gentle man of this town informs us that he recol lects seeing the tomb stone. He was somewhat distinguished in his day for literary attainments. There is, it is believed, a volume of his poems in J the Library at Chapel Hjllr manof which pos- sess considerable merit. - Some of them are commemorative of scenes in this vicinity.' From a notice of young Godfrey in the Encyclopedia Americana, tlie following is taken "Disliking the drudgery of a mechanical occu pation, he abandoned the trade, of his father, as welf u arTorWalfeh'rn'aking.lo which he had been aDDTenlicctt.nd obtained a lieutenahcr in the provincial troot raised, in 1758, for an ex pedition against fortu QuesneT. This station he retained until the forces' were, disbanded. . He then established .' himself as a factor in North Carolina, Where he diedx three years afterwards, August 3, 1.763, an the '27th Vear of.his age, in consequence of violent'exercise on a very warm. day. j Little attention was paid to Mr. Godfrey's education, but he was ever ardent in the pursuit of knowledge, and became exceedingly well vers ed in the works of the English poets. His own poetical blents were early manifested by his publications in the American Magazine, printed in. Philadelphia,'VHis principal poem is the Court of Fancy andr"30 hi minor pieces, his Epistle from Fort Henry may be cited with eulogy, Some of his pastorals and elegies pos sess also a degree of beauty. . But he is prmci pally distinguished as the author of the first Ame rican drama. ; This production is called ' 7Ae Prince of JParihxai a tragedy, whichl; with ran ous defects, has some redeeming merits;" Poudrttle-Vte should like to see some of' our platters use this article as a top dressing for cotton,, by, way of experiment, which can be made at small cost; also in the same way on corn.

From the Fayettnille Observer. -Nd one can hive overlooked the complete rev olution in the trade in Cotton - Yarns effected within a few years by the. establishment of Fac tories in our owlt . State..- Up to the year 1830, immense Quantifies of that article of a verv infe- nor, quality, weff brought to this State from the North. ' In thit year, thelsfifst successful experi ment was made in establishing a Factory in this place, and immediately, so superior was, its fab ric, the- importation ceased. , Ihen followed other establishments, until, instead' of a large purchaser, oar State was not only supplied at home, but a very large quantity has been annual' ly exported. ' v The next step was to manufacture sheetings and shirtings, tsnabnrgs and bagging; and here again, skill, unted with a laudable determination to make the fabric not teem to be, but to be in reality, good, has acquired a requtation for North Carolina goods, second to. none in the whole country. "It is a little singular, however, that this reputation is as yet greatest in : the Northern Cities and Western States where pen pie make a more careful examination as to the capacity for service-, than is usually made in the South; and that comparatively a small portion of tnese fabrics u sold at home, whilst they- are in great demandi abroad. A day seldom passes without brinpjiir to some of the Factories in this Town applications for consignments to some of the hrst Commission Houses in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. And it is a fact, that on one day of last week, no less than Jive such applications were received by the President or one concern, from Philadelphia and Baltimore. These represent the sheetings manufactured here as being "much inquired for" and the writers as being willing either to purchase or receive on sale. : Unfortunately, the prices of all . goods have been so low for several years, that little er no profit has accrued to the proprietors; but they have established a reputation which . will be of good service whenever business revives, as we believe it is now gradually doing; - In this town and vicinity there are six Facto ries, viz: . . 1 he Rockfith, which cost about $127,000 Fhosnix, k ' . r 60,000 Beaver Creek, 60,000 Little Kiver, 30,000 Mallett's,-- : 40,000 Cross Creek, 80,009 ; 'In all, about $347,000 The stout brown sheetings manufactured by the three first named well known. -rTne has just comm' y Jfcweaving a very strong ,y osnaouKr ;wgmng nan a pouna to d thtVt i34keyarn only " e giadfii, see-more of these goods cow Soilvhl bul ft is to be regretted, that'.

Iu editor hu recently visited Kentucky, and from an interest ing account of hia Journey, we extract the follow ing, to us, very interesting paragraph concerrig the great man of the nation and his household; ; A person who sees so- many newspapers as an editor s exchange list furnishes could scarcely visit Lexington without making some inquiry concerning Ashland and Its proprietor. It hap- Maf4 it.-. j ti i r i t iL-- fdbg. uiai our weu vieuu menu, utuiucr oawvui, was the long and intimate friend of Mr. Clay. Their acquaintance was formed when the former travelled Danville circuit in 1816, who, by his powerful eloquence, cogent reasoning, and over whelming Scriptural authorities, gave a deathblow to the rife'Arianism of ths t coon try r which threat ened to overran Kentucky."" Our1 kind host con veyed ns to Ashland; but the proprietor was not at home. On hearing, tiowever, of our visit,, we received a most cordial invitation to dine at -Ash land, of which we availffd ourselves, and spent three full hours in very pleasant chat with our kind entertainer, and three more agreeable hours we never spent tn all our life. . Mr. Clay is sixty-five years of age, but might ss for fifty, and will! in all probability, be well bable of public business till four-score pass over his head, if God spare him that long. His man ners are as plain and republican as they are gen tlemanly and unaffected. The moral principle, producing honesty and conscientious fidelity to his trust, seemed to Us to have taken deep pos session of his mind, and we believe governs his heart, : He is now closely engaged in Jiis, duties as a lawyer, and does not forget his farm, which is in admirable order.' tlis house is plain indeed, and his Improvements arouirt it, .consisting of grass lawns, and row of e' planted by his own hands, are iifgqpj In complete beeping with hisepubhcan ucia ui hid. au yjnn a pauern sne is iim in the land. yst, household atTail ttle ieif house; collection of fief rubs, are mOt-tk. and well seleoteOtQj her butter yes, heio y.

From her dairy, conducted under her eye, she supplies the principal hotels of Lexington; and it is no, small glory to her, that her son Thomaa showed, the other day, the suit which' his raothef purchas ed for him with the avails ot her butter.. Whe ther her hrst name, do juucretia or not, we cannot say; but then, we are sure she deserves it The topics of conversation were, moral, religious, and miscellaneous subjects; and we were glad to learn to our satisfaction, that Mr. Clay was a firm be liever in the Christian Veligion that he read his bible, and attended, with his excellent lady and family, the Protestaftr Episcopal Church in Lex ington, and frequently heartl . ministers of other Churches. . - A . The ynhlg party. Never were the prospects of the Whig Party so well founded, so bmltjnt and so certain u now. '' C "v. We should' regard it u a poor triumph wbieh, like that or 1840, did not elect HENRY CLAY! If we cannot effect this, let us effect nothing, and let us reeard ourselves as a defeated and vanquish ed party. It is not that Mr. Clay is indispensa-J oie ro our principles, out nis election is to give us the evidence and the earnest or popular opin ion being on the whig side. The mart we could do without, bnt as well without nobody else: ths evidence that the People' have returned to com mort sense, and, to sound principle, is indispensa ble to theyital interests of this country. XX Mr. Clay will he elected next year by the nibst overwhelming vote that any caadiijate for the Pre sidency ever yet got., As to tire result, we fear nothing. What ws feel solicitude' about is the vote of Virginia." That vote is ah extremely nice matter, and a hair's weight may carry.it eith er way, Norother State in the Union is so closely divided, or by lines- which it is so difficult to break through. ., .-. Let fiVe hundred good Whigs (each make this promise to himselff I will convert one Locofo- co before November,' 1844 : let him do this,' and the thing is accomplished. There is not now, from our statistics, one thousand majority all told, against the Whigs in Virginia." Mr. Ro. G. Scott, we know, made out the majority to be much larger; but, as a new convert to Locofbcoism, he did not see so clearly as those whose position has been more steady. - ' .- Overcome one thousand votes in 80,000, and old Virginia isWhig and ;, will vote for Henry Clay In 1844. We believe she will do it, in any event: but change a thousand votes, and the thing is certain 1 T "' . . ' ' " , We call upon the Whigs to be up and doing. They can easily accomplish this.

The following petition is to be presented to Congress by the Rev. Sydney Smith, Dean of St. Paul. . ,,v ": , ' The humble petition of the Rev. Sydney Smith, lie Jhe House of Congressat Washington. I petition; your honorable house to institute some measures for the restoration of American creditrand for thepayment of tiebts incurred anrt repudiated by sevsral of the stales. Your , peti tioner lent to the Stale of Pennsylvania a sum of money, for the purpose of some public improve- v menf. The amount, though small, is to him im-. portant, and is a saving from a life income, made with difficulty and privation.

' A great nation, after trampling under fool all earthly tyranny, has been guilty of a fraud as enormous as ever disgraced the worst king of the most degraded nation ef Europe. - , ?.v It is most painful to your petitioner to see that American citizens excite, wherever they may go, the recollection that they belong to a dishonest peo.

' - V ' ' To any man of teal philanthropy, who receiv es pleasure from the improvements of the world, the repudiation of tffe public debts of America, and the shameless manner in whioh it has been talked of and done, is the most melancholy event' which has happened during the existence of the, present generation. Your petitioner sincerely' prayshat the great and good: men still existing among you.-may, by teaching to the United States the deep disgrace they hare incurred in the'whole world, restore them to moral healih,,to that high position they have lost, and which,! for, ihe hap piness of mankind, it is so imnortatitthey should ever maintain; for the 'United States-are new working out the greatest of all political problems, and upon that confederacy the eyes-, of thinking men are intensely nxea,.to see now tar the mass or mankind can be trusted with the management of their own affairs, 'and the establishment of their own 'happiness.-"- t1 r On the.lt day of February, a new pattern of Mouslines de Laines arrived at New York, and was'offereU by the importer at 14 cents per yard by the case.
