More than one half of the prisoners were
intoxicated at the time they committed their
crimes. Vfliat a lesson to drunkards!

It shotild not be forgotten by any whom it
tnay concern, that the legislature has made an
appropriation for the purpose of building a
Steppirrg-.Mill in the prison yard, which will
be finished without delay.

[A person who has been in New-York State
Prison, has written an account of that mode
ofliving, the treatment by their keepers, &*.c.
, 8Lc. One important fact noted by him is,

/that he found in prison, persons who had be-
fore been in the penitentiary, (some in one
state and some in another,) of every state in
tire Union, except front Ne\vgatc.]

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Virginia Pem'lenl'iar_1/, situated a short
distance from Richmond, was destroyed by
fire on the night ofthe 8th inst. The flames
had so far advanced when first discovered,
that an_v effort to save the buildings was idle;
every exertion was therefore confined to res-
cuing the prisoners, all ofwboin, 244- in num-
ber, were taken out in safety, and lodged for
the present, in the Capitol. They made no
-attempt to escape, and behaved throughout
the'wliole scene ieinarltably well. The fire
comttieuced in the centre building, in a slice-
shop, and it is supposed was the effect of de-
sign. The loss is. estimated at $200,000.

’ he Richmond Compiler, of August 11,
-gives thefollowing additional particulars :—
‘ The first object of the officers was to seize
the keys, and open the sleeping rooms ofthe
convicts, who rushed into the inner yard. The
suioke,however was sufi'ocating—-—ztnd the dau-
gt:1'_ll"£ll]1lDeI1I ; and there were 11. or 3 of the
solitary cells not unlocked. The PublicGuard
rushed to the spot, and when the gate was 0-
pened, received the convicts, who made not
the slightest effort to effect their escape.-—
Vr'hen the great body ofcitizens, and the fire
engines, had reached the spot, it was too late
to save the house: for the fire had rapidly
spread to both its wings by means ofthe un-
fortunate central building. The first itiquiry
of every one was,‘ whore are the convicts ? are
they safe ?’—-They were just. outside of the
gaie——but as they had not been counted, no
one could ascertain how many were missing.
The fate of the ahsentees gave ‘ rise to the
most pa.it1ftil anxiety. It was soon buzzed a-
bout, that a great many were yet in the build-
iug—that shricks and groans and cries for as-
sistance had been lieard——-and that this was
a horrible doom to await even the most abatt-
doned oftnen.

Pity, was the predominant feeliug—and
means were taken by inquiring of those who
knew of their location, and by shouting at the
windows of the cells, to ascertain where they
were. Fotir only were found. Generous and
energetic citizens promptly stept forward to
relieve them. The greatest effort was neces-
sary at a window in the second story, which
could only be approached by a shed—several
mounted the shed, and after encountering
great fatigue and some danger froiu the flatn-
ing pieces ofthe‘ wooden cornice which dropt
around thctn, they finally succeeded in loos-
ening the iron grating of the window, and
dragged otit a man ofcolor whose prayers had
been pathetically addressed to Heaven for his
safety. Another party mounted a ladder,
and saved out of a room in the East angle
another fellow creature ; the bricks being cut
out ofthe upper part of the window. A third
was drawn out of a hole, in the wall, which
now seems scarce big enough to have let a
weazle pass through. The last man was ta-
ken oiit’ofa room on the western side ofthe
building—-when the upper part of the whole
edifice was oti fire. Indeed, ifthe rooms had
not been arched with brick, the lives ofthesc
-men could scarcely have been saved. Not a
life was lost! Not an accident occurred dur-
ing the awful scene. The heat must have
been oppressive, if moral causes had not been
too strong to permit the bye-standers to feel
all its effects. ‘

Mail Robber]/.——Thc Mail was robbed on
the 20th ult. between Frankfort and Livings-
ton, by a man calling himself Haitover, who
had taken passage in the stage. When the
stage stopped at Livingston, he got out and
went into acornfield where he reinaiued a few
minutes, and then returned and resumed his
seat. Afterthc stage had gone a package of
letters was found in the cornfield broken open.
Suspicious were excited, and a titan sent in
pursuit of the robber, who was taken two days
after, and proved to be the famous John Rees,
of Ohio, who had previously been twice C011-
vicled of Robbery, and a"z'.sclz.a1-trail. _AlWIt
3'-130 wasfound upon hitn which had doubt-
less been taken from the mail. He preteiioetl
to be sick and laid down by the inail bags,

;.——I ‘covered with his coat, and in this situation

probably opened them with a key which he
carried for the purpose.

I Advices from Matanzas ofthe 4th instant,
state, that the U. S. schr. Grampus, Lieut.
Gregory, was stationed there for the present,
for the protection of the American trade—of-
ficers and crew all well. Three barges under
the command of Lietits. Freeland and Platt,
and Sailing Master Sanderson, with select
crews, were cruising to windward amongst the
Keys. The Pirates were so closely watched,
and their known haunts so frequently visited,
that they have hardly a chance of attempting
any depredations without detection.

The brig South Carolina, Johnson, on her
passage frotn Matatizas to New-Y0,,rk, Was
boarded on.the 927th tilt. in the Sail Rock
Passage, by a boat from a piratical brig man-
ned with six men and an ofi‘icer._armed with
cutlasses, "etc. who demanded the (‘aptain’s
papers—and having read them, he forcibly
obtained the keys of the passengers’ trunks,
and robbed them of witie, clothing, &'.c. In
the mean time, the men were allowed to pil-
lage the vessel, insult the mate, and plunder
the crew of their clothing. They took the
captain’s spy glass-—and demanded of him to
lower his boat and put them on board oftlieir
brig ;-—-the boat returned leaky, and sunk :-
long side. The piratical brig is called the In-
dian, of about 400 tons but-then—mounting
292. guns, and manned with nearly 300 iuen,of
all nations.

Advices from Jamaica state thatabout the
tniddle ofJuly a schr. with fotir men, one wo-
man and two boys on board, was robbed by 3
negroes who had been cruizine about in a
small boat for some time past. The negroes
killed all on board,extrept one ofthe tnen who
joined them, and sunk the schr. They carri-
ch their plunder to Jamaica, where they were
apprehended, and on exaniination acknowl-
edged that they had a short time previous rob-
bed an American schr. and killed all hands.
They were condemned to be shot, and only
awaited the order of President Boyer.

A letter from Barracoa dated June 16th,
states that a piratical schr. was captured a few
days previous near that place by two British
vessels of war, after a severe engagement.——
She is the same vessel that captured the schr.
Ladies’ Delight, ofBalt. a few months since.
Perkins’ Steam Eng‘hie.—A letter to the
editor ofthe Boston Centinel dated London,
Jtine 9.‘ith, says “Mr. Perkins has at length
made proselytes to his Steam Engine Im-
provements, even ofthe most faithlcss. I was
present, aday or two since, when Sir Hutu-
phrey Davy, and the Duke of Wellington,
spent more than an hour in examining this
wonderful invention. They both expressed
thetnselves highly gratified and astonished at
what they witnessed. The crowds of people
from all parts of the three kingdoms, which
are daily calling to view it, are beyond my
powers of coinputzition. So great is the nutri-
ber, that Mr. P. is compelled to deny admis-
sion to three quarters of them, or be obliged
to spend his "whole time in explanation.”

A St. Louis paper states that the Steam
Boat Virginia, Capt. Pemberton, has coitiple-
ted the present season, two successful voyages
to the Post of St. Peters, on the Upper Mis-
sissippi. This is the first. attempt to navigate
that river by steam, and its success is consid-
ered ofgreat importance to the Commercial
interests of Missouri and Illinois.

On the 4th inst. when the ship Franklin
was getting under way from a wharf in
Charleston with the decks filled with passen-
gets, the usual signal gun was fired, which
burst the piece, and the fragments flying in
all directions, struck three tuen and wounded
them severely. Many ladies were standing
near, but providentially none of them were
injured.

It is feared that the late heavy rains in
Georgia will cause rntich sickness there the
present season. Four bears, which had been
driven from the swamps by the rains, were
taken in a cornfield near Darien on the 31st.
Two stores at Savannah, occupied by ‘Wm.
Gaston and Thomas VVright, were destroyed
by fire early on the morning of the 8d inst.
Loss estimated at 340,000.

Mr. Canning, late British minister to the
United States, left in the hands of Mr. Col-
een $50, as a donation to the Apprentices’
Library, and 350 for the Merchantile Library,
with a requestthat it should not be tricntioncd
until he had sailed.

As astriking illustration and evidence of
the '.importance of cherishing and extending
the means ofeducation, it is stated that out of
580 prisoners in the New—York state prison,
195 could not read, and 59. could not write.
It is also stated, that in the city free schools,
which have been in operation 17 years, and
have given instruction to 1400 children, it
has been ascertained that btit one person in-
structed in them, has ever been detected in
an infamous crime.

Turkish love 13/‘ Literal-ure.—Tlte Ottoman
Porte has given orders to sell by weight all the
fine libraries at Constantinople.

It is said there are not as many vagrants
in a year, in New-York by 1000 since the in-
troduction of the tread mill, as formerly.

Among the 178,000,000 ofindividuztls who
inhabit Europe, there are said to be 17,900,000
beggars, or persons who subsist at the expence
of the community, without contributing to its
resources.

.£llubama.—-P roposals are open at Florence,
Alabama, for erecting a methodist meeting
house. Five years ago, this thriving town was
the property of the Chickasaw Indians, and
common with the adjacent wilderness. It
now contains’ one or two htiudred houses,
some of which are of brick, large and elegant
and gives employment to 6 or 8 steam boats.

.fl goo¢ltoast.—Tlie following toast was late-
ly drank at a public dinner given to Captain
Hull by the citizetis of Boston :—-

“Russian Claims.-—-He inttst be an apt pro-
ficient who can take seven degrees at once,
without dispute.”

./Idvantages of Fog.—-A writer in the Provi-
dence Journal says that the ueatness and beati-
ty of the coinplexions ofthe females in New-
port, is owing to the purifying influence of
dense and almost incessant fogs front the At-
lantic——and that a tanned face is by means of
these fogs restored to its natural complexion
in a few hours.

Sing-ular phenomenon.-—-The Conn.Mirror
states as a fact, that a body ofice, 4 feet long,
9} wide, and 2 thick, lately fell in the town of

Manson, Mass. during a hail storm.

, A person in Philadelphia, who has kept a
register of the state of the thermometer fora
number of years past, remarks, that the cold-
est days in winter are in six months followed
by the hottest days in summer. __ “

Cofiee is now growing in many gardens in
Norridgewock, Me. and is said to flourish re-

markably well. A seed was found last year
among some raisins-—-it was planted and pro-
duccd seventy kernels. The coffee ripeus in
about the same time that Indian corn does.

A married lady residing in Tarrytovvn, W.
Chester county, N. Y. attempted to ptit a pe-
riod to ‘her existence week before last by tak-
ing laudanum; fearing this would not produce
the desired effect, she afterwards‘ threw her-
selfinto the river, but was soon taken out and
still lives. The brutal conduct of a drunken
husband is said to have been the cause ofthis
rash conduct. '

An outrageous attack -was made, on the
°24th tilt. on a Mrs. Wheeler, of Harpersfield,
by a ruffian who entered her house in the ab-
sence of her husband, took up a young child
and threatened to beat otit its brains against
the chimney——the mother interfered and a
struggle ensued, when she sic-zed the tongs
and knocked him down; then taking tip her
child, she fled,=_although considerably injured
by the blows she had received. The fellow
made his escape, and had not been captured
on the 30th ult.

flccide1zt.—A few days since, as ayouug
in_an, living near Baltimore, was strapping a
loaded fowling-piece, it went off,and the con-
tents were lodged in the neck ofhis mother,
who instantly expired. The young man is
now in a tnost shocking state, and his friends
fear that this melancholy catastrophe will de-
prive him ofhis reason.

On the evening ofthe 19th ult. two brothers
living in Parker, Pa.went out to hunt for deer,
and as one oftliein was creeping along in the
husltes towards the lick, the other, hearing
the noise and supposing it to be occasioned
by a deer, levelled his gun and fired. His
feelings can be more easily conceived than
described, to find that he had shot his brother.

A man was killed’ in Halifax on the 5th
inst. by accidentally striking his head against
a tree while racing a horse.

,A violent storm of wind and hail was expe-
rienced at Quakerstown, Pa. on the 4th inst.
which prostrated fences, tore up trees by the
roots, and cut'to pieces the most promising
crops of corn and buckwheat. ForS miles
round, hail stones sotne ofthein 8 inches in
circumference, were seen several hours after
the storm. In the village upwards of 1300
panes ofglass were broken.

A man was killed by lightning in Frederick,
Md. a few weeks since while plotigliiiig in his
field. .

A barn in Shrewsbury, N.J. filled with hay
and grain, was struck with lightning on the
11th inst. and entirely consumed. On the
saute day a woman was killed by lightning
at Montnotith Furnace.

On the 1st inst. 8 persons confined in the
Buffalo jail for passing counterfeit riioney es-
caped, by means of false keys, as is supposed,
and have not yet been re-taken.

The last New-Orleans papers state that a
fresliet in the Ohio has caused another rise in
the Mississippi. At White river it had risen
nine feet. ‘

The National Advocate contradicts the re-
port of the appointment ofJudge Southard to
the office ofSecretary ofthe Navy.

It is reported that the Vice President Tomp-
kins has settled his accounts with the general
government, and has a balance of $30,000 to
40,000 in his favor: his claims were upwards
of $100,000.

Spanish Claims.——'I‘he Commissioners of
Claims under the late treaty with Spain, ad-
journed on VVeduesday last, to tneet again on
the 19th of November next, when it is said
they will probably be able to complete the ad-
justincnt ofthe claims upon which they were
appointed to decide.

.7V'ew- York E2:chang'c.—Tlie N. Y. Ameri-
can mentions that zi plan and design for an
Exchange, have been completed utider the
superintendauce ofa conunittee of the Mer-
chants’ Exchange Company, by Mr. James
O'Donnell, architect. They present, in a ve-
ry striking manner, the beauties of the con-
templated building, and the arrangement of
the plan is so good, as to afford the best secu-
riry, that if, as we yet hope, they shall be se-
riously adopted and undertaken, an ample
revenue will be derived from the money in-
vested in the stock. The execution of the
plan is highly creditableto the taste and skill
of Mr. O’Dounell.

CatI.lirm.—A child lately died in Rochester
by the bite of a spider.

As the public have expressed great desire
to hear from Major Long and his party, we
can assure them from good authority, that
they were in fine health and spirits, preparing
on the 9.5tlt ofJune, at Praire du Chien, to
leave there the next day for St. Peter’s River,
which they would ascend, and probably ex-
tend their excursion as far north as Lake
Winnepec.—Dem. Press.

On Friday last a man voluntarily came to
the Police-office, and requested to be sent to
the Penitentiary. The magistrate inquired
of what offence he had been guilty. He re-
plied, that he had been guilty of no offence,
but could not get a living by his trade, and
therefore wished, before hehad disgraced bitu-
self by committing any, that he might be sent
to the Penitentiary for the supply ofhis wants,
and the safe keeping of his morals. The
magistrate informed him that he had no pow-
er to send him there unless for vagrancy or
the perpetration of criine.—-With a dissatis-
fied air he left the bar. On Monday, howev-
er, he returned, accompanied by a constable,
and on his examination, reminded the magis-
trate that he had applied before for admission
to the penitentiary, but could not get in; that
be had that morning entered a house and tak-
en a hat frotn a table in the hall, in view.o1'
which a gentleman was sitting, for the express
purpose of getting quarters in the Penitentia-
ry. It was no longer beyond the power of the
magistrate to refuse him the asylum he sought,
andhe was therefore committed.—.dmerz'can.

Somethi7i.g' new.——On Friday, the 24th inst.
Mr. Pitchlynn, a young Choctaw ofcon'sider-
able promise, at school in this place,del'ivered
an extemporaneons 4th of July oration in the
Choctaw language, in the presence of a num-
ber of citizens, and those who have fr]equeut-

1y witnessed the displays of Indian ‘oratory

pronounce it to have been a choice specimen.
We think it ro )er"to state, that the delivery
. P l

of this oration was unsolicited ;« and we regret

that we cannot procure the trafisla_tioii of it
for publication. If any thing can be new, in
the celebration of an Anniversary-,.wliiclt for
47 years has been hailed as a -festival bythe
people of every village, settletnent and city,
throughout the republic—it is this! A Choc-
taw oration comnieitiorativeoftlie birth ofour
Independence, is certainly anomalous in the
history of American oratory.——Tenn. Columb.

Since the overthrow of Napoleon, the or-
der of the Jesuits has been revived by the
Pope, and missionaries have been sent from
Rome to different parts of Europe and Arne-
rica, where they have been untvearied in
their exertions to disseminate the principles
of their church. They have a college at
George-Town, D. C; another at Baltimore,
and a house of education at Etnmetsburg,
Penn. They have a convent in Kentucky,
with a school and a church. They have a
uuunery of 9.6 nuns, nearPort Tobacco, Ma-
ryland, and another of 86 nuns at George-
Town.—-.N'. J. Eagle.

In a thunder storm at Dartmouth, R. I. on
the 1."'.’th inst. the house of Dr. S. P. Winslow
was struck and much injtired, the doctor
knocked down, his wife killed, and his sister
wounded. It is remarkable that a child who
stood between Mrs. and Miss Winslow was
not touched. At the same moment a house
3'2 miles distant from the doctor’s was struck,
and oftwelve persons in it all but one were
knocked down. The furniture was scattered
in all directions. On the 4th, a barn in Tis-
btiry was struck and entirely consumed, to-
gether with about 10 tons of hay, and 150
bushels of grain. _

An attempt was made on the night ofthe
10th inst. by the prisoners confined in the N.
Jersey State Prison, to escape. About 40
succeeded in getting into the yard, and by
means of a rope ladder, three of them had
escaped over the wall before a discovery was
made. One was re-taken ; but the other two,
Joseph Robertson and Peter Stuyvesant, have
not been heard of as yet.

Several persons were arrested in Lincoln-
ton, N. C. on tlie,927th ult.«for making cour-
t.:rfeit coin. In the course ofthe search 360
and the moulds and all the apparatus necessa-
ry for carrying on the business was found.

Iicligious celebration qf Inde];emlence.——A
custom has been comnieuced, and is annually
gaining ground, of celebrating the birth day
ofour nation by observances strictly religious.
The people assemble in the house ofpublic
worship; unite in appropriate ascriptions of
praise and thanksgiving to the Great Giver
of national blessings; listen to a serious re-
view of our multiforin privileges, civil, litera-
ry, and religious; and then take up a collec-
tion for some object of charity. At least, this
has been the forms of these celebrations, in
several places from which we have heard.-
This was one of the forms, in which this first
day in otir political year was celebrated in this
city. The services were inPark StrectCburcb.
The time selected for them‘ was such, as not
to interfere with those, which were of a less
religious character. The hymns,the prayers,
and the Address by the Rev. Louis Dwight,
were appropriate. At the close ofthe whole
a collectioti of $30 was taken in aid ofthe A-
merican Colonization Society, which is wor-
thy of greater attention, and needs more lib-
eral assistance, than it has hitherto received.
At Keene, N. H. and, we believe, in several
other places, there were, also, contributions
for this Society.—--Jlliss. Herald.

DIED--In this town, on IVednesday morn-
ing last, after a severe illness of9 days, Mr.
Eben’r. D. Hoyt, in the 48th year ofhis age.

In the death of Mr. Hoyt his family has
sustained an irreparable loss, for to it the af-
fcctionate, kind, and sincere husband, father,
and friend can never be restored : the Church
to which he belonged has been bereft ofa de-
voted friend and generous patron, whose libe-
rality and piety have advanced her temporal
interests and adorned her christian character:
and the coinmtinity in which he lived, and in
wltich he occupied a sphere of great extent,
importance, and usefulness, has occasion to
sympathize with his family and the church in
this painful dispensation, and to lament that
the urbauity of main-ters, the activity and in-
tegrity in business, and the liberal charity and
public spirit of the deceased, which advanced
its interests and won its confidence, have
ceased to benefit the living, and survive only
in the recollections ofgratitude and friendship.

[Conunwm'caied.

In New-York, on the 16th inst. Mr. James
.4. S. Smith, son of the late Rev. Dr. William
Smith, aged years.

At East-Guilford, on the 6th inst. Mr. Par-
sons Kelsey. He had for some time been
partially deranged. On the 30th July he be-
gan to shave himself, and his wife watched
him as usual ; btit being busy, she left him a
moment; returned immediately and found he
had stepped out at the door——she ran to him,
and arrested him just as he was taking the ra-
zor froin his throat. He had cut off both
pipes, btit had not opened the jugular vein.
His reason was immediately rcstored—he
wrote on a slate, and continued to communi-
cate his fcelings in that way, expressing the
deepest regret at what he had done. He was
a worthy man, and tnuch respected. He di-
ed of starvation—said he was so hungry he

cotild eat grass, but could swallow nothing of

cotirse, and all attempts toiusert food itito his
stomach failed.-—.N‘. H. Register.
