at any other-‘place as the business of the coun-

.: ty concentrates there. .When these articles

were sold in New-York and notes taken, the
Banks th'en were always glad to discount
them, so that ifthere were a Bank in New-
Canaan, their manufacturers would not wish
to deal with it, as they would wish to evil"-'"d
-a part oftheir money in New-York; lf""5l°°l‘
and materials to prosecute their biisiness.—
The House would therefore perceive that the
manufacturers and nieclianics were already

‘ provided for, and required no assistgiice from

the Legislature.

‘As it respected the Farmers, he considered
that a Bank would be a serious injury to them.
Situated as they now were, they were glad to
lend money to each other, for one year or
inore,and where it is in safe hauds,aiid the in-
terest is annually paid,in can generally remain

‘ until it can be conveniently paid.

The Committee have said in their report
that there was a large amount of capital em-
ployed in‘ that county. This he readily ad-
mitted to be the fact; and thought it much
better employed thus, than ifit were invested
in Batik Stock. Farmers were in general
unable to pay oftner than once a year, and if
‘the money now loaned was thus investigated
in Bank Stock, and they were compelled“ to
comply with Bank regulations, and to pay
quarterly, it must in the end prove ruinous to
them. The pressure of the times was hard
upon them now, and if thisbill passed, an ad-
-ditional burthen would be thrown upon their
shoulders. The money now lent to them
‘would be called in to pay bank instalments,
‘and they were certainly not prepared for such
»a state oftliings. The committee had said
‘that they were wealthy in thatcounty. He
‘was willing to admit that to be the fact. But
-at the same time he hoped the Legislature
would not do an act to render them otherwise.
Iftliis county had become wealthy, it had
‘been the result of their industry, enterprise
and economy, and was not obtained by Bank-
'-hing institutions. There was already one Bank
in the county, located in Bridgeport, and it
‘stood only as a beacon to warn them of the_
danger ofapproaching it. He hoped there-
"fore that the bill would not pass so as to divert
-the capital now usefully employed, to any
‘other purpose, especially that ofa Bank.

A bill for a public act relating to Foreign-
-ers", giving our courts power to decide when
tlieysliould hold real estate-—was read the
first time.

The committee appointed to take into con-
sideration whether any fnrther laws were nec-

passage of the bill. Messrs. Samuel Ray-

the medical institutions to be visited and in-
spected at pleasure by the Mayor and two
senior aldermen—places the Anatomical pro-

Among the bills which have been laid over

on de Beaumarchais;

The bill further to amend the Judicial Sys-
tem ofthe United States;

The bill to reorganize and fix the NavalEs-
tablishi-nent of the United States ;

The bill laying duties on Sales at Auction;

The bill to allow a Drawback on the Ex-
portation of Cordage manufactured from for-
eign llemp ;

The bill to establish a Territorial Govern-
ment for the District of Columbia;

All the amendments proposed at the pres-
ent Session of Congress, to the Constitution
ot the United States.

The injunction of secrecy has been remo-
ved, in the U. S. Senate, from the Executive
proceedings on the proposed treaty between
this country and England for the suppression
of the slave trade. The Intelligeiicer says,
‘ the treaty met with very serious opposition
in the Senate, and was finally ratified by that
body by a barely constitutional majority, af-
ter receiving several modifications, the most
essential of which limits its duration to the
pleasure ofthe parties, making it an experi-
mental measure, rather than a permanent law
for the government of the two nations.’

The following is a briefnotice of the pro-
visions ofthe treaty :-—Commissioned officers
ofthe two nations, duly authorised to cruise
on the African coast, are permitted to search,
detain and capture any vessel of either nation
engaged in the slave trade—tlie vessel so cap-
tured to be tried by a tribunal of the country
to which it belongs. \Vhen any vessel of ei-
ther nation is boarded by an ofiicer ofthe oth-
er nation, the officer is required to deliver to
the captain a certificate of his rank, the object
of his visit, 8z.c. The right of search is limit-
ed to the ascertainment ofthe fact whether a
a vessel is or is not engaged in the slave trade.
The commanders and crews of slave vessels
are to he proceeded against as pirates. For
every vexatioiis and abusive exercise of the
right ofsearcli, officers are to be personally li-
able ; and it is niadetlie duty of each govern-
ment to inquire into such abuses, and inflict
adequate punishment. The last article de-
clares, that the right, reciprocally conceded
by this Treaty,is wholly and exclusively foun-
ded oii the two nations having by their laws
made the slave trade piracy, and is not to be
taken to affect in any other way, the rights of
the parties, &Lc.and engages that each power
shall use its influence with all civilized pow-
ers, to procure from them the acknowledg-

ment ofthe slave trade being piracy under the
law of nations.

We believe (says the N. Y. Observer) that
it is not generally known, that a society has
existed for some time in this city, entitled, ‘A
Society for promoting the establishment of
communities.’ It consists ofabout S0 mem-
bers. Their object is to induce persons to as-
sociate, throw their property into common
st_ock, and emigrate to the newly settled coun-
tries, where they are to purchase lands which
they are to hold in common. About 50 in-
dividuals, including 15 heads of families, for-
med themselves into a community, and left
this city early in March to occupy a tract of
land in Bath co. (Va.) on J.ackson’s river,
where they had purchased about 13,000 acres
ofland, which they own in common. A few
weeks since, 86 persons more want to join
them; and 80 or 90 stand ready to go when-
ever the way is prepared. The constitution
of the community provides that any member
may withdraw when he is dissatisfied, and take
the amount ofproperty which he carried with
him, together with his proportion of the in-
crease. VVe understand that the persons
who originated this plan, imagine that they
have discovered the true remedy for selfish-
ness and inordinate ambition,whicli they con-
sider the two great sources of human misery.
\Ve are inclined to believe, however, with Mr.
Jefferson, in the following letter to one of the
Society who requested his opinion, that the
world has more to hope from the general dif-
fusion ofeducation,and particularly we would
add, from the universal spread of the Bible
and ofsoiind religious principle.
[Mr.Jefferson,in the letter alluded to above,
says—“ That small societies, on the principle
of a communion of pi-operty,may exist in hab-
its of virtue, order, industry and peace ; and
consequently in a state of as much happiness
as heaven has been pleased to deal out to im-
perfect liuiuanity, I- can readily conceive ;—
and indeed have seen its proofs in various
small societies, which have been constituted
on that principle. . But I do not feel author-
ised to conclude from these facts that an ex-
tended society, like that ofthe U. States, or of
an individual state, could-be governed happily

of business still before the Legislature of this
State, there is little reason to believe an ad-

The Committee of Invcslzgati'on.—This
committee has at length reported, and from

CONGRESS adjourned on the 27,}, ,,h_ the reading ofit in the House, we were only bank notes, which he had just collected for

able‘to collect its general complexion. It ap-

pears that almost every material fact fact sta-

ted by Mr. Edwards in his memorial, has been

sutsained by the committee. The receipt of
unciirrent notes from certain debtor banks, is

admitted to have been made contrary to law.

The withholding ofdocumr-.nts,called for by the

House under different resoliitions,is admitted.

The transfer ofthe deposites of public mon-

eys from ilie branches of the Bank ofthe U.

States, to local banks, without, as is required

by law, reporting the reasons to Congress, is

admitted.

'.l'.‘h:.t IVTI’. Edwards made his publication in

1819. annottncing his intention of witlidrziw-
lP'_‘,'_ as a (lll't‘CICl' from the Bank of Edwards-

ville, is admitted.

That he advised the receiver to withhold
the deposiges from the Bank ofEdwardsville,
in 1819, until he should be advised on the sub-
ject by the Treasury Department, is admitted.
In relation to the foregoing acts, so far as
they might seem to impeach the conduct of
the Secretary. the commttiee say there is no
evidence ofany bad niotive.—Wash. Rep.

The editor ofthe Troy Sentinel, in speak-
ing ofhigh pressure steam engines, says :—
We applaud the zeal with which the N. York
editors have come outin solid colunimagainst
these perilous iuachines. VVe should much
prefer going from Albany or Troy to N.York,
in 21 hours, with our head on, unimportant as
it may be to any body but our own, than in 14,
with it off‘, body and all.

Compctitz‘rm.—Tlie Steam Boats, Legisla-
tor, and Thistle, belonging to Mr. Gibbons,
both having elegant accommodations new car-
rypassengerstoNew-Briinswick,N.J.ldistance
80 miles,) for twelve and a half cents each.

A considerable alarm was excited yesterday
morning on board the Steam Boat Thistle,
when on the eve of her departure for Eliza-
betlitown, occasioned as we are informed, by
the cement in the fines giving way. As her
engine is constructed on the low pressure sys-
tem, it afibrds a practical demonstration of
their safety, as no person was in the slightest
degree injured, although there were upwards
of 100 passengers.—.N°. Y. ./Imerican.

A letter from Capt. Bartlett, of the steam
brig New-York, was received in town yester-
day, the following extract from which furnish-
es additional evidence of the safety of the
low pressure engine.—Bostan Courier.

“Saturday, one of the boilers ofthe New-
York leaked so much water as to extinguish
the fire. She anchored below the castle, and
on examination, it was found that sixteen riv-
ets were broken, opening a space of30 inch-
es—qnite sufficient to have caused the imme-
diate discharge of the contents of a high pres-
sure boiler ; biitin this case no inconvenience
followed more than a few hours detention.”

On the 8th inst. the steam boat Commerce,
plying between Charleston and Hamburg, S.
C. bnrsted her boiler; but no injury was sus-
tained by the passengers or cargo.

Novel accident.—The steam boat Olive-
Branch, in passing through the Highlands, a
few evenings since, accidentally came in con-
tact with a small sail boat; the machinery was
immediately stopped, but the Branch was un-
der such headway that she passed directly over
the frail bark, and it was thoughtthat all on
board had perished. Just afterwards the boat
appeared at the stern of the steam boat, with
two men on her bottom, who had followed her
fortunes under the Olive Branch, and were
taken up uninjured by their aquatic excursion.

Fatal occurrence.—A sailor who left this

city yesterday to proceed for Philadelphia in
the mail stage, while waiting at Powles’ hook
the hour for the departure ofthe coach, fell
in with a free colored man, (who we under-
stand resided at the Hook,) and after some
joking, challenged him, in a playful temper,
to fight. The black man observed to him
that if he struck him he should kill him. The
Sailor, however, not believing his antagonist
so powerful, told him to strike away. Thus
challenged, he gave the sailor a single blow
which knocked him down and killed him al-
most instantaneotisly. The black immedi-
ately fled,but was found in the afternoon in
a barn near Bergen, and taken into custody
to await his trial.-—-Merc. ./Idv.

Fire.—-W'e are informed by the mail-driver,
that a fire commenced on lVednesday,19th of
May, on the North side of Wading River. It
originated by a iiiaii’s burning brush in a field,
and communicated to the woods. It raged with
great fury and consumed about 700 cords of
wood in piles, and destroyed much valuable
standing tiniber.—The damage is supposed to
amount to $70,000.-—-L. I. Patriot.

Forgery and Pe7jury.—-A peculiar case
was tried at the Superior Court in Amherst,
N. H. a short time since, involving not only
considerable property, but character 0 fthe
parties and witnesses. One ofthe witnesses,
after having sworn in the Probate Court, to
the validity ofa will, testified, in the Superior
Court, that the whole was,from the beginning,.
a vile and wicked system of fraud, forgery,
and perjury. Two others attempted to main-

ditiou, promoting the virtue, and advancing to light by the trial. Thejnry found a ver-J
dict against the validity of the will ; so that

Springbird, of Honduras, was captured about
45 miles N. of that place by a piratical boat
with 152 men. A lad on board had jumped
overboard and swam ashore. The fate ofthe
rest ofthe crew was not known. The pirates
fitted out ‘the Springbird, with which they
captured another Br. sclir. and murdered all

Roi-‘Us PUTNAM, aged 86 years. In this in-
stance ofmortality,we recognise the departure
ofanotlier Revolutionary patriot. Gen. Put-

nam was born in Sutton, in the state of Mass.
At the age of 16, he entered what is called

the old French war, in 1756. In our Revo-
liitionary struggle, he took an active and de-
cided part. He commanded a regiment at
the commencement of hostilities, and per-
formed the part ofan engineer during the
great part of the war. Towards its close, he
was appointed a Brigadier General by brevet.
At the conclusion of peace, he retired to his
farm and engaged in agricultural pursuits.-
He represented his town in the legislature of
the state for several years, and performed the
duties ofa magistrate. In 1786-7, he was
engaged in organizing the Ohio Company
for the purpose of purchasing and settling
lands in the Northwest Territory-. He was
appointed a director and superintendent of
the affairs ofthat company. On the 7th of
April, 1788, he in company with about forty
others, commenced the first permanent settle‘-
nientin the territory, (a part of which now
comprizes the State ofOhio.) They located
themselves at the mouth ofthe Muskinguni
river, and called their village Marietta. From
so small a beginning he lived to see a flourish-
ing state, composed of nearly 70 counties,and
‘d population of 700,000 inhabitants. So rap-
id a progress in population, is without a par-
allel iii the United States. In 1789, Presi-
dent Washington appointed liiiii a Judge of
the Supreme Courtof the Northwestern Ter-
ritory, and, in 1791, he was appointed a Brig-
adier General in the Army of the U. States
under General lVayne. In 1745, he was ap-
pointed Surveyor General ofthe U. States,
which office he held during a part ofthe Pre-
sidency of Gen. Washington, all ofMr. Ad-
ams’, and several years under President Jel-
ferson. He was chosen a member of the
convention which formed.tlie constitution of
Ohio, ‘and took a prominent part in those de-

liberations which resulted in that excellent
instrument.
