On the morning of the 16th of Sep­ tember, 1776, Colonel Knowlton and Major Leileh were sent out from Fort Washington, at the upper end of Man­ hattan Island, by General Washington, to capture a small detachment of Brit­ ish soldiers stationed on the high ground at Morningside Park. The enemy dis­ covered the attempt, however, and es­ caped down the hill. Being reinforce«! by the Forty-second Highlanders, under General Leslie, they attacked the Amer­ icans nt about One Hundred and Twen­ ty-fourth street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues, but were driven back to a fence two hundred yards to the south aqd east of the point of attack. The Americana beiw-f reinforeed by Colonels Richardson and Griffiths, the enemy were dislodged from the fenoe, leaving fixe dead on the field, and re­ treated back to the high grounds at One Hundred and Twentieth street, where they were further reinforced by a bat­ talion of Hessians, a company of chas­ seurs and two field pieces. The fight lasted two hours longer, when the Brit­ ish again retreated, leaving the field to the Americans, and the battle of Har­ lem Plains was fought and won. Colonel Knowlton and sixteen privates were killed, and Major Leitch and forty .otliers were wounded on the American si«le. The British loss was fourteon kille«l and seventy wounded. Major Leitch died, and together with Colonel Knowlton was buried in th« trenches at Fort Washington. It is supposed by many that their graves are within the present limits of Trinity Church cemetery. But a few weeks since, workmen who were engaged in cutting a new street through in that vicinity came upon several graves in what was supposed to have been part of the old trenches. One grave con­ tained a coffin, and the remains evi­ dently of an officer of rank. A bulled hole pierced "he fleshless skull. and the bullet lay within the hollow chamber of the brain. As Knowlton was shot is the head, the description aud circum­ stances tally so closely, it is believed by some authorities that the remains were these of the depd officer who fell at Harlem more than one hundred years ire— N, T.

The process so far em­ ployed consists in heating the oil. and afterwards adding from one to three per cent of soap. 'The latter dissolves in the oil, and the liquid upon cooling forms a mass having the appearance of cement, and the hardness of compact tallow. It is hard to light, burns slowly and without smoke, but develops much heat, and leaves about two per cent of a hard black residuum.—JT. K Azown tsar.
