SUMMARY. The Washington Globe of Saturday states that the President of the United States returned on the pre. vious day from the Rip Raps-his health and strength much recruited. A gentleman in South Russel Street, Boston, on examining bis well of water on the 12th instant, diecovered a box containing several pounds of butter, which had laid in the well eleven years; it was found to be in a good state of preservation. 102 black fish were driven ashere at Provincetown on Saturday morning by the crews of eight boats, and over 100 pounds of oil obtained from them.

That this union cannot long subsist, I should be inclined to infer from one remarkable circumstance, and it is a convincing proof of the rapid destruction which the introduction of pike into a trout-lake will occasion.

Keokuck's band speedily followed to welcome their brothers; a grand council assembled, among whom was myself, to witness the deliverance of the Hawk to his nation.

Augustus William Schlegel also obtained and elevated my mind. an appointment in the Swedish service. Rocca, who passed generally for Madame de Staël's lover, was the only one for whom she solicited nothing. He was beautiful as a Grecian statue, but in other re. spects insignificant. He, however, appeared pas. sionately fond of this celebrated woman; and her soul of fire, perhaps, experienced an indescribable felicity at feeling herself beloved in the autumn of her days with all the passion of youth. At a subsequent period, I repeatedly heard Madame de Staël read, speak, and declaim; but in all that she said and did, I felt that she never forgot herself, and that she calculated beforehand the effect she was to produce. I was introduced to her the next day, and from that period I was in the habit of seeing her almost daily, Her deportment did not correspond with our Swedish ideas of propriety: she had a very pretty foot, but she was not satisfied with shewing it alone, but exhibited, likewise a well proportioned leg, with an abandon' that elicited many a joke at her expense. Accustomed in France to warm herself at the chimney fire, she did not relinquish this favorite habit before our stoves, the doors of which are not very low, and it appeared to us to form an occasion for showing her foot. I was several times invited to meet her at dinner at the Prince Royal's. The play of her hands and arms seemed to me to be quite studied. She would sometimes lean both her elbows on the table, and declaim and gesticulate with so much fire, that her neighbors were obliged to be upon their guard. Her conversation sparkled with wit, but nevertheless became monotonous, because the In spite of these slight shades, Madame de Staël was one of the most grandiose and wonderful appa. ritions of her age. She gave, at Stockholm, multiplied proofs of her liberality, and of the nobleness of her mind; and relieved the poor relations of her deceased husband with a delicacy that enhanced the price of her favors. THE BLACK DEATH.-This book, with such a fearful title, is translated from the German of the celebrated Hecker, by Dr. Babington, and gives an account of the ravages of that fearful pestilence which raged in Italy and throughout Europe, in the time of Boccacio. A more interesting work we have never met with. Europe. In this country also, the mortality was extraordinarily great; and the same scenes of afflic tion and despair were exhibited as had occurred in those nations which had already passed the ordeal. The same mode of burial-the same horrible certainty of death-the same torpor and depression of spirits. The wealthy abandoned their treasures, and gave their villages and estates to the churches and monasteries; this being, according to the notions of the age, the surest way of sucuring the favor of Heaven, and the forgiveness of past sins. In Rus. sia, too, the voice of nature was silenced by fear and horror. In the hour of danger, fathers, and mothers deserted their children, and children their pa rents. Of all the estimates of the number of lives lost in Europe, the most probable is, that altogether, a fourth-part of the inhabitants were carried offNow, if Europe, at present contain 210,000,000 inhabitants, the population, not to take a higher estimate, which might easily be justified, amounted to at least 105,000,000 in the sixth century. It may, therefore, be assumed, without exagge ration, that Europe lost during the Black Death25,000,000 of inhabitants.

Borrie's Patent Thread, No. 22 and 25 Parisian Manufactures.-One of the most positive signs of the present improving state of France is the amount of the duties of manufactured articles in gold and silver. This manufacture is almost exclusively confined to Paris, and of all articles of luxury these are always the first to feel the effect of any political or commercial crisis, and the last to revive with the return of peace and prosperity. The following is a statement of the produce of those duties during the last three years:-1830-First six months, 529,040f; second six months, 304,935f. 1831-First six months, 258,439f.; second six months, 368,798f.1832-First six months, 330,721f; second six months, 454,980f. The first six months of the present year have produced 490,854f. Thus it appears that the manufacture was less in the first half year of 1831 than immediately after the days of July; and, on account of the repeated disturbances, did not begin to revive until the measures of the Government had re. stored the country to security and confidence. Re. laxed again by the Cholera and the events of June in last year, it resumed fresh vigor in the second half of the year, and during the last six months has reach.21x39, 21× 20, 2‹x29 21x26. 21x27, 20124, &c., &c. ed a point almost equal to the maximum for many years.

The whole number of the Improved Compass" is eight. These are all exclusive of the number in the service of the Engineer and Graduation Department. Both Levels and Compasses are in good repair. They have in fact needed but little repairs, except from accidents to which all instruments of the kind are liable I have found that thy patterns for the levels and compasses have been preferred by my assistants generally, to any others in use, and the Improved Compass is superior to any other de cription of Goniometer that we have yet tried in laying the ralla on this Road. This instrument, more recently improved with a reversing telescope, in place of the vane sights, leaves the engineer scarcely any thing to desire in the formation or convenience of the Compass. It is indeed the most completely adapted to later al angles of any simple and cheap instrument that I have yet seen, and I cannot but believe it will be preferred to all others now in use for laying of raile-and in fact, when known, I think it will be as highly appreciated for common surveying.
