one to allow executions to be levied on the

ing the time for the several Banks to make
their returns. to the first ofMarch,was passed.
————"_"be bill fixing the weekly price to be al-
lowed tojailors for the board of stnteprison-
ers, was read the second time.’ Mr. N. John-
son gave his reasons for introducing the bill.

‘ ’ ‘Tlteprincipal object was a diminution ofthe

rapidly ~-accmnulating disbursements of the
Stztte arising out of the expense of prisoners.
Several members spoke in favor of the bill.-
'On a motion to fill the blank in the bill with
‘one dollar anda half, a debate arose of con-
sitlcrable length, in which a large numbertook
part; several propositions for a larger sum
were made, but the motion to insert one dol-
,l'-ir and a halfprevailed, when the rule of!“
House was dispensed with, and the bill pass‘-
‘ed.—’—-—Mr. Vrlilliants laid in a bill for an act
respecting the support ofState paupers—-read
the. first time.———The report ofthe Commit-
tee respecting the petition from the Society
of Oxford, praying to be incorporated into a
new town, was accepted, petition granted, and
bill in form incorporating the town of Man-
chester, passed by a large majority.--—0n
motion the House resumed the consideration
ofthe resolution forthe proposed amendments
to the chnstitution. Mr. N. Johnson rose and
said he was in vavor ofthe object. ofthe reso-
lution, and the more effectually to secure it,
and in the hope of obviating some ofthe ob-

jcctions that had been urged against it, he

would move some amendments which he held
in his hand. [The principal purport of his
proposition.-was to leave the number of which
the Senate shall be composed, to be regulated
by subsequent Legislatures; to consist of not
less than twelve nor more than twenty-six, to
be apportioned according to the census last
taken before such appointment.] Mr. J.
entered into :1 few explanatory remarks, and
expressed his beliefthat the resolution would

be rendered more satisfactory; that the Se-

nate could he increased or not, and counties
coulti be united or kept distinct, and thus COP-
flicting opinion». will be dissipated. He did
not wish to embarrass the proposition as it had
his cordial support. It was only with a de-
sire to render it more acceptable to all. Mr.
Ingersoll expressed himself willingthey should
be adopted, if itwould render the measure
more acceptable to the people ; and as it seem-
ed to him, they were calculated to do away
‘the objections that had been urged by mem-
bers. he was in favor ofthe amendment. The
question on the amendment was then put, and
ncgatived.---—--.VIr. J. Coe made a few obser-
vations, tending to show that one of the pro-
posed objects ofthe resolve, that is to balance
the Houses, would not be secured ; that it
.would be far more proper to begin the busi-
ness by lessening the numbers oftheir House
—a bill containing some provision ofthat sort
would receive his vote. The question was
then taken, when there were in the aflirma-
tive 86, negative 100-—so the resolve is nega-
tivet|.—-—Mr. Fairchild from the Committee.
for districting the State for members of Con-
gross, asked leave to be discharged therefrom
-—he said the Committee wasin favor ofthe
meast'rr‘e, but after tliewlecision ofthe House
this afternoon, it would only be a waste of

. time to pursue the inquiry any further at pre-

sent—-leave was granted.———-—Mr. Darling from
thejoint Cotnmittee on the School Fund, sub-
mitted a report on the special corntnunication
ofthe Commissioner: that part ofthe report
which relates toJ. Stow, concludes-—that ‘no
suliicient evidence has been exhibited to them
to warrant the imputation ofauy dishonest or
diishonorable procedure on the part of M r.
Stow.’ The report was accepted by a large
majority.———_The bill for the assessment of
‘taxes reported by a Committee, was read the
third time. It had several grammatical criteri-
‘dations; when Mr. Welch moved to except
"all persons receiving salaries from the state,
and all settled ministers of the Gospel from
the requirements of this act. Mr. Lord en-
tered at some length into an examination of
the merits of the proposed amendment, which
he considered improper, inexpeLlient,3~Lc. Af-
'ter» he sat down, M r. Rider rose and said that
as we had been told the bill would not proba-
bly pass this session, he would move to post-
pone it to the next. Messrs.Coe, Marks,l"ax—
on, Miner and Tracy were strongly opposed
tothat course, which was advocated byMessrs.
3?’. Smith and Rider, who urged as reasons,
that as the entire system of taxation was about
to undergo a change-and as the bill was
printed, they would preferto lay it beforetheir
constituents, &'.c. On a division, there were
in the affirmative 60, negative 80.

.Ma_v/ 28,--Mr. Williams, from the joint
Comtnittec. to whom was referred the petition
ofJacob Ogden, submitted a favorable report,
with a bill in form conformably thereto, direct-
ing the Comptroller to draw an order on the
Treas'ury for a specified sum, (39.00 dollars.)
The report after an examination of rather a
desultory nature, which lasted more than an
hour, was accepted by a vote nearly unani-
mous, and the resolve then passed. The
claims of Mr. 0. upon the generosity autljus-
tice of the state, were ablyienforced and gen-
erally admitted, and a luminous exposition of
their peculiar character, together with various
sfatements of facts connected with them, was
at the satire time giveu.——-—The Committee
on the Alewives subject, reported that“ after
:1 full hearing, they are of opinion that'l'egis-
lativc interference is not necessary.’---'l‘l1e
next business taken up, was a bill for the ap-
poiutrnent of J()5llllH"Sl()\\', Esq. ChicfJudge

of the Middlesex County Court. A motion A

by Mr. Lord to erase the name ofl‘vIr. Stow,
produced a discussion that lasted nearly an
ll0Ill'. lVIr.L.-reiterated the charges made
last session, and went into a detailed state-
ment of ,tbe circumstances attending the in-

The assessment bill was next taken up. When
this bill was last up, a motion was under con-
sideration to amend it, so as to except so
much of the income ofthe officers oftheState
government, and Ministers of the Gospel. as
arises from their salaries. The proposed a-
mendment was altered so as to except cler- ‘
gymen only. Much time had been already
consumed on it. and a motion to lay the bill
on the table prevailed before the question was
taken.———The bill respecting compensation
to Assessors rrftaxies was on its third reading.

Fr-ton FRA.\'Cl-3.—TlIo ship Othello, or. at
New—York yesterday from Bortleaux, bring-
ing Paris papcrs to the 22d April. They fur-
nish no later news from the army than that
before received. It is stated that the French
troops continue to meet with flattering recep-
tion in Spain. 'l‘hcre is no truth in the re-
port ofthe capture of a French frigate by the
Spaniards. ‘

Faont L't:si.1.—-Tlic ship Corinthian, Capt.
Hall, arrived here on Tuesday night in 107
days front Callao, and last from RioJaneiro.
We learn that the expedition which had been
sent from Lima against the Spaniards, in up-
per Peru, had entirely failed, anti the Patriot
army so signally defeated, that their cause was
looked upon as lost.

The Spaniards, it was supposed, would
shortly i'c-possess tlietnselves ofLima, and the
Patriots were not in a situation to make any
effectualoppos‘itio'n‘-, having neither money nor
troops, and the‘ people" generally much dissat-
isfied with the goverruuent, whose conduct
was by no means calculated to faciliate their
good will, nor that of strangers. Specie had
entirely disappeared-"-and paper money was
at a discount of50 per cent. The distress
generally was very great and indicatc_d the
approach of some violent cliange.-—Bull. Jim.

Clnli.-—O’Higgins, the Supreme Director
ofChili, has abdicated, and a provi§ionaljun-
ta for the Government of Chili been institut-
ed. It is said that Chili has been a scene of
much distress for the last year, in consequence
ofthe failure of the crops last season, and the
severe earthquake. The disturbed and dis-
Il‘ES%t*(l state of the country has thrown it back
ten years from the state ofprospcrity to which
it was rapidly advancing.

A letter, dated Rio de Janciro, April 9th,
says—-‘ The stability and prosperity of this
government will depend in a great measure,
on the success of Cocbrau’s squadron on the
way against Bahia, and the political events in
Europe. Should Portugal be engaged in war
near home, it will be fortunate for this coun-
try. We hear nothing of the Cortes. Sail-
ors are enticed away fr7oru vessels,and kidnap-
ped in the streets, to man the Imperial vessels
—uutch abuse is practised. Hardly an A-
mericau vessel in port has escaped losing
more or less men, and sortie of them under
circumstanceshighly unjust, and tyrannical.

The Ex Emperor of Mexico, with his fairi-
ily and suite, embarked at Vera Cruz early

last month, on board the British ship Rollins,
which was to proceed in a few days for Italy.

It is said the Mexican empire is to be divi-
ded into independent States, and united un-
der a federal head. '

The l‘egi’slature oflfassachtisctts assembled
at Boston on the- 28th ult. The Hon. VVm.
-Eustis has been elected Governor by a major-
ity of 3,474 votes, and the Hon. Levi Lin-
coln, Lt. Gov. by a majority of 02,971.

The late farceiupon Lcingglsitind excited u-

of'eve'ry iranl; and ‘condition’, the high and the

and sublime spectacle of a horse-‘race, and to

concomitants-drinking, swearing, ‘fighting,
and gambling ll W'l'io would "not forego
the pleasures of home, the sweets of the do-
mestic circle, the refined joys of social and
friendly intercourse, to mingle in the sports

\Vho would not exchange the lmm ofbusy in-

race-course l But--we must be serious 2 this
is n subjr-ct on which trifling would be crim-
inal. To behold 70,000 people wasting their
time and money,and endangering their health
and lives, upon an occasion so trivial, is cal-
culated to excite, in the bosoms of reflecting
men, feelings of the deepest sorrow and regret‘

There are those, no doubt, who care not
how they spend the few fleeting moments of
life, provided their base passions can be grati-
fied ; to these we do not address our remarks:
itisthe attention of the sober and reflecting
that we invite to the following statement:
It is estiruated that about 70,000 people were
on the race-ground on Tuesday——the average
amount oftime spent by each could not have
been less than 7 days, making, in the aggre-
gate, 490,000 days, or more than 1,312 _rears.
Allowing each individual to be able toearn
a dollar a day, (and what blockhead was there
among them who could not) the sum lost to
the counfry, by means ofthis race, is S490,000 l
The amount of money spent, may be estima-
ted at about $1,500,000, or little more than
$91 each. Considering the great distance
which many of them travelled, this r-.alcula-
tion is low. The bets probably exceeded
$100,000, but we will put that down as the
sum. Now, by adding these several amounts
together we shall find that the sum oftwo mil-
lions Qfdo/Imus, (and doubtless more) was fool-
ishly and wickedly thrown away upon the late
disgraceful occasion! If this were all, we
would say no more; but there is yet to be
added another consideration, and one which
causes the soul to start and shrink back with
horror; we mean the vast, the incrtlculable
amount of moral rvil produced by it.

We will now rctort upon tliesc ‘lovers of
pleasure more than lovers of God,‘ and ask if
‘ntissionmies, and cduczuion societies, SLC. are
We shall now see
whether those who pretend to feel so deeply

ruining the country I’

for the welfare ofthe~nalion, when aid to a
benevolent object is solicited, do in reality be-
lieve what they say. We shall now discover
whether their opposition to the cause of be-
nevolence arises from pure, or selfish motives.
They will speak loud and long, and their voi-
ces will echo and re-echo through the land,
until they shall have put down lrorsc-racing
and its evils, as well as uiissionary, and edu-
cation, and bible societies. and their evils.-—
But no—-their voice will be lrush’d—not. a syl-
lable will they utter-—t|ioy will go on cairn
and undisturbed, until a call is made for a
few shillings, or a few dollars, to assist some
benevolent institution, and then they will rise

country will be lmg'_gfarcd.” This is a cord
which draws tight theirpursc-strings-_—vibrates
upon their hearts, and contracts them within
the narrow circle of cold, calculating, pcntu’i-
ous selfishness. This is a subject about which
they feel no iuterest—-upon their horses they
can lavish their thousands and tens of thou-
sands; but upon their fellow beings they have
nothing to bestow.

Mr. Edmund Knapp, of Greenwich; aged
about 50, put an end to’ his existence a few
weeks since, by cutting his throat. The act
is attributed to insanity.

By the last Norwich Courier we learn that
the heavy squallls experienced hereon Sun-
day, the 215th ult.‘ increased in that place and
vicinity toa most violent gale, accompanied
with lightning, thunder, and rain. ' Many
trees and fences were prostrated, and some
buildings unroofed. The lightning struck the
Presbyterian Meeting-House in Montville,
at the time ofservice, sbivered the belfry, the
posts, seats, windows, &t.c. killed two persons,
and severely wounded many others. Itisa
singular coincidence that the lightning should
strike the House at the very moment the Min-
ister had finished reading the following lines:

“ Jlfclhinlrs the last great day is come,

.llIelIn"n/ts I hear the trmnpei. sound,

T/tat shakes the earth, rends every tomb,

Jind wakes the prisoners -under grouml.”

Forty of the prisoners were concerned in
the late insurrection at-Newgate. The guards
fired at them and wounded three; a bayonet
was run thro’ the arm of one. The ringleader,
who was shot in the head and leg, attributes
zthe failure ofthe plan to the cowardice ofthe
prisoners. The convicts who were most ac-
tive were, “fun. Steward, Josiah King, Benja-
min Beach, Shadrach Burr, Zebulon Staf-
ford, John Basset, Elisha Fenner, and \7Vm.
Mango. Their plan was to kill such of the
guard as made any resistance, secure the re-
mainder under the hatches, set fire to the pri-
son, and make off.

natural therefore t__hat an unusual excitelttent
on the subject should have been produced in
the city, which was nearly depopulated during
the day". _ The concourse "at the Race ground,
which is about 8 miles from the city, was va-
riottslyestitilatetl at from 50 to ‘70,000, the
greatest a_ss'entblag_c ever witnessed here.-—
The day was fine and cool, and we have not
learnt that any serious accident occurred.

The two fitir‘.ses started about 1 o'clock.-—
The first heat was won by Henry, who came
out 3 or 4-reg: alteatl. In. the two last heats
Eclipse was rode by Mi‘. Partly. In the two
first miles of the 9d lieat, _l_.en_ry was ahead,
but Eclipse cauie otit in the e'u_d about three
lengths ahead. In the ‘last heat , Eclipse led
all the way, and canfe out gihotit twp lengths
ahead. The rider oftlic Henry cbatiged
for the last heat. The follo\'vin'g is ftiruislied
us as a correct statement dftltetime. First
beat, 7 min. 40 sec.; Second, ‘l’ in, 433 sec. ;
Third, 8 min, 9.4 seconds. This is said to be
the greatest speed on record for a long period.
A four mile heat run in England within ti few
yearsin 7 min. 481-2 seconds, is stated to
have been unparnllelled in the last century. If
this be true, the above fact excels any thing
ofthe kind known in modern times.

A rmnor is afloat that Eclipse is to run 21-
gainst Sir Henry again before the sport closes,
for a. bet of S5000—-the south against the
uorth——a single heat. Ifthis be not done, it
is whisperctl among the knowing ones, that
the southrous, before returning home, intend
to ‘walk into’ the northern jockies, with a
challenge to run Henry against Eclipse at
Washington next fall,for any sum from 25,000
to S:30,()00. We really hope not.—Spcc.

A singular circumstanceoccurred yesterday
on board the ship Radius,latefrom Liverpool.
The ll11‘.:<\l6l', Capt. Fanuing_, was paying the
seamen their wages, when a stout black man,
whom he had shipped in Liverpool, called in
his turn for payment, and after signing his re-
ceipt, siczctl the whole amount pf money on
the table and attempted to escape with it.—
Bcirrg a powerful fellow, it was with consider-
able diuiculty, and with great resolution that

.7|Ie.[uncI:.ol3/.r?ccident.—-—lt has seldom been
our duty to record a more painful occurrence
than h:rppcuctl in this placc on Saturday Inor-
uing last. As four fcxnalos were riding in a
onehorse waggou from the ferry to the village
along the margin of the creek, the horse in
consr:qirerrr:c ofbeiug accideutly reined, went
down the steep bank and precipitated them
all into the stream. Three of them, by the
generous exertions oftwo strangers who were
passing, and who instantly threw themselves
into the creek, were with some difliculty res-
cued from the water; but the fou{th,Miss Lu-
cy Aun Pratt, immediately sunk from sight,
and was not found until she had been so long
a time in the water as to render every effort
to resuscitate her fruitlt-ss.—Bu,fl‘ulo Jour.
