'One fad mentioned by him was known tail

whc*. necessary, bargain with Mr. Clay/
Col. Htruther of Mtoouri, hi company with
one of the first naval officer* of this country,
colled to see Mr. Crawford before he left
this city, and in the course of conversation
reutarked to him, that his friends were much
gratified that he had refused to atocpt an
office under Mr. Adaim. Mr. Crawford
?aid that he had long made up his mind up
on that subject; for that pending the election,
Mr. Adurns had oflfcrcd nim a curfr bluntht,
to clioae his. station under. Idin, ill case he
(Mr. A.) waa elected. 'litis conveimtiou
was repeated to us immediately after it tran

in ouropinion, of the truth of what Genital) th
has said: when we take into consideration
the state of Mr. Crawford's health, and the
known attachment ?f his friends to him, tlie
reaton for the very liberal tender, cannot be
doubted.
Whilst we arc up*m the subject of Mr.
Crawford, there is another fact which we

Mr. Crawford, mueli to his cre<lit, left the

The British government has been ditpoaed
to meet us by granting her to prohibit cer

government, yet the duty is so great ns to

bill proposes the provision which Mr. Gal

In the month ok April lost, we took occasion
to aunnriheeto our reader", that an important
experimental memoir no the subject of Aid,
written by Mr Marcus Bull, h.ul been re
cently read Ik faro the American Philosophic
cat Society.M1?l? body deemed the ?T?ject
of no ranch Importance, and so highly appro
ved of the manner in which it waa treated,
that they promptly decided In f*\our of its
publication* and accordingly, 'in thssuccecd
tag month, it appenred in their transactions.
I'he experiments instituted by Mr. Bull
were intended tp determine tha comparative
quantities of heat evolved during the com
bustion of sevend varieties of tacit as *1*0^ to
s&ccrtain the relative quantities of tieat lost
in our ordinary stoves and Are places. There
are few subjects of greater practical impor
tance, or in which all classes of society are
more deeply interested, la a climate like
oars, the production of artificial temperature,
may l>e considered asatnong the Indispensa
ble objects of sockity. It is ?;v vsit, recognis
ed by erary age and condition, and the mean*
'-?* *-11- fonn a heavy item of ex
'y,, If theq* we can be
nientalist, what species
r ihc greats quantity of
heat for a given price, and aucv. what con
structions of our stoves and.fureplaces will
cause the least waste of temperature, he
confers an obligation of the grt^tpkt practical
value, - *
We arc disnoacd to belle vc,tiiat the results
obtained by Mr. Bull are sufgdtyntly accurate
to enable families to solve tut interesting
problems indicated above,naraely4 what is the
cheapest fuel, and what arrangement U most
convnlent for burning it?
The principal results obtained by Mr. Hull
are noted in two tables, placed at the end of
his memoir. Our space will not enable us
to notice the first tabic, further than to allude
to the last column, which contains the most
important determinations. The numbers
here given represent the comparative value,
when employed as fuel, of the principal vari
eties of wood, anthracite coal, bituminous
coal, ami charcoal, the comparison being
made between the cord of wood, the ton or
anthracite, ami the 100 bushels of bituminous
coul and charcoal. Fbr example, the follow
tog numbers represent the comparative
value of the several woods and coals mention
ed>
Shell bark Hickory, 100
l'ig-nut Hickory, 93
Hcd-henrt Hickory, 81
White Oak, kl
Chcsmtt White O.vk, 86
Darren Oak, 6<>
Lchlgli Coal, 99
Schuylkill Coal, 103
Susquehanna Coal, ..99
Liverpool Coal. / 91i
nillilwMJ CMil,/ Qos
Fine Charcoal, 7 73
These numbers, representing the compara
tive values of the several fuels in the quanti
ties mentioned, alio shew what ought to be
their relative prices, when equally cheap:
When the price/ vary from theac proportions,
it is easy to ascertain hi favor of w filch species
of fuel the variation will l>e. Thus it is seen
that the rotative value of shcllbark hickory
and fichlKl/coal Is neurly the same, cord fbr
too; so that If we could buy a cord of shell
bark hickory for ?A, or 6 Jtaes loo, we
ought to be able to buy a ton of l?ehigh coal
for ?i,94, or fi times 99, to be cqjudly tltiap.
?The numbers given, seem to shew,' whatwc
should not liavc supposed, that cord for cord,
white oak is equally valuable tylth rod-heart
I^W. and ought to bring the same pricet
while chcsnut white oak is even mare valua
ble.
The second table gives t!?c results obtain
ed by Mr. Hull, to determine the'comparative
loss of heat sustained in the combustion of
the same fuel, in the different varieties of fire
places, grntcs and atovca.
We have confined our remarks to the above
branches nf Mr. Bull's cx|wrimental re
searches, because they appenred to exhibit
the practical importance of his results In a
very striking point of view; r K would be im
possible, without extending tftia notice to an
undue length, to pass unto review the re
mainlng experimental details %1iiett ire also
highly interesting. All thfct wbltavs at
tempted, is to awaken public uttcntfbrt to a
performance, whose merit has n6t been suffl
i icntly appreciated. ' ~
We are disposed to think that the ihade
ouate attention given by our cithehsto Mr.
Bull's memoir, is attributable in'a grst mes
