Where are all our Cruizers ? At’. tl1i.S’l_l|_n9
there was not a, single American, -n01'.BI'lllSh
cruizcr in or near -the port of Matanz_as.—
Don Azcaray, ivas a native of Cuba, his pa-
rents living "near 'M":itanzas.' EYE“ he W35
not spared, biltwas-subjected to Vlolence and
plunder from his own countrymen. He. Was
in good health when the brig sailed, but was
depressed by continued severe sea-sickness,
followed by t'ever,'a_nd died on the teutli day
after leaving port, aged 924 years. He was
much respected, and received every attention
which could be rendered in their situation.

Jtfore pi,-ac_:/,_.Tlie schr. Mercator, Allen,
which sailed from New-York on the 3d ult.
for Havana, with a valuable cargo, was cap-
tured by pirates near Matanzas, on the third
inst. and it is not known what they have done
with her or the crew. A passenger was set on
shore, after being hoisted by the neck to ex-
tort information iftliere was money on board.

Benefits of Jl]t.'(S07ll‘_l].——Tlle brig John, of
Newport, Capt, Norris, was recently boarded
by pirates near Matanzas: the principal pi-
rate, after plundering the crew, presented 8
blunderbuss to the captain’s breast, and threat-
ened his life ifhe did not instantly discover
more money. He then gave up the key of
his trunk, upon searching which the pirate
discovered a masonic apron, which he kissed,
and told Capt. Norris to place it in his bosom,
and his person should be considered sacred :—
tothis accidental circumstance, Capt. NOMS
attributes the salvation of his life and crew!

 

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.-VVe under-
stand that the Board of Engineers, appointed
by the General Government, are industriously
gmployed in the examination of.lt]he country

etween the Potomac and Yong iogeny riv-
ers. Three different parties have been de-
spatched under their instructions to survey
sections ofthe route for the contemplated Ca-
nal. The Board, from the last accounts,,Were
descending the Youghiogcny; intending to
proceed to its mouth, and thence ascend the
Monongahela and Cheat Rivers. The curso-
ry observatiouof the Savage and Youghioge-
ny has been shown them to be excessively
l'(}))(l:l(}(’]%lild ;o_ugh, lint still offpring nq instppelp
a e i cuties. n many p aces tie an s
are so_ precipitous, that the canal must ‘be
made in what is called the channel of the riv-
er. and be supported on the lower side by
great walls. Ifihe Youghiogeny cannot he
commanded on the summit, it will then re-
main to ascertain if Deep Creek alone will
afford a sufficient supply of water. To.efi'ect
this, a nice measurement of the stream tnust
be made, which the rain has hitherto prevent-
ed, having swelled the creek to such a degree
as to render it impassable for several days, ex-
cept by swimming the horses. The quantity
of wale; in the 0l"(lllil‘al‘%" stat? of the Creek,
must,o course, bet e asiso all calculations
as to its power of supplying the summit level.
This will, in all probability, be found to be the
only point at which a communication can be
etfected, inasmuch as the ridge of the Great
Back Bone stretches at a great height, nearly
imiform, through the couiitry—-and the Sav-
age is the only stream that breaks through it;
so that its sources are in fact west of the great
ridge of the Alleghany.-—Balt. ./Imer.

Iinportant I1wentz'on.—M-r. Brodie,foreman
ofthe Carpenter’s Department in the Gosport
Navy Yard, has invented a machine which
promises greatly to facilitate the repairing of
damages done to vessels. It is a Box shaped
to the mould of the ship, reaching from the
surface ofthe water to the keel,and sufiicient-
ly wide to cover the part to be repaired. It is
sunk alongside, and brought close to the ship
by ropes, and the water is then pumped out
by means of an engine. The worltmen then
descend’ and execute their task ‘ with as much
security as ifthey were on terra firma.’

In launching the Delaware 74, an accident
occurred, by which the copper, to the length
off} or 4 feet very loiv down and contiguous
to the forefoot was ripped up. Two summers
passed away before the causalty was discov-
ered, biit dtiring the third, the worm so far
perforated the exposed part as to cause the
ship to leak considerably. All the skill in
caulking, thrumming. &c. that could be exer-
ted, availed nothing, the leak -continued to in-
crease. Finally it was pronounced impractic-

able to overcome it in any other way than by
heaving the ship down, in which operation an
expense of 325,000 or $30,000 must necessa-
rily be incurred. It was in this dilemma that
Mr. Brodie had his machine constructed. The
workmen descended with their tools and coin-
menced operation. The injured plank has
been removed and at this moment, says a wri-
ter in-the Norfolk Herald of Monday,they are
bolting the new plank, nearly 18 feet under
water, to her side,iii complete security. Sim-
ple as. the machine is,says the HcraLd,sucli are
the important advantages that must result
from it, that it cannot but entitle the inventor

to the gratitude of his country.-—-Phil. Gaz.

Nrzw-Yoitx..l'uly 24.—Yesterdav afternoon
between 2 and 3 o’clock, we were visited with
a thunder storm of extraordinary severity.—-
The rain fell for‘the space of nearly an hour
in torrents, accompanied with hail, the most
-vivid lightning and heavy thunder. In the
midst of the tempest, a flash of lightning

. which excited an awful fear,was instantly fol-

lowed by the most tremendous crash of tliun-
der we have ever heard,which shook tliewhole.

and took a course to the interior of the store.

. In the upper lofts _was a quantity of Manilla

hemp, which was set on fire, but the flames
were immediately discovered and extinguish-
ed. Several persons in the neighbourhood
were stunned by the-sliock, and a young man
-in a store in rear of Front-st. was knocked
down. Two cart horses standing in front of
the store, were also knocked down. The di-
rection of the lightning from the lofts, could
not be traced. Agreat qtiantity of rain fell
during this hour, and other heavy showers
continued in the afternoon. Many cellars in
the lower parts ofthe city were filled with wa-

Fair-ficld County Ban.k.——Yesterday after-
noon fhe Stockholders of this Bank met at the
Norwalk Hotel, and made choice‘ of the fol-
lowing gentlemen as Directors :-—Henry Bel-

David Holly.

The following gentlemen were chosen Di-
rectors of the Branch :—Samiiel ‘Tweedy,
Zalmon Wildman,David Foot, Friend Starr,
Daniel Coinstock,William Hawley, and Wil-
liam Meeker.

Hail Storm.——On Tuesday afternoon, 20th
inst. a very severe hail storm was experienced
in the western part of Greenwich, which did
much damage to windows, corn-fields, &:.c.—
In the cotton factory onByrain river 100 panes
of glass were broken. The stones were as
large as black walnuts: one account says some
measured 8 inches in circumference; another
states that two of them, after being carried 2
miles in the pockets ofa gentlemen, were as
large as lien’s eggs. The storm was -not ex-
tensive: it came from the north-east, and
passed off to the south-west.

Since the above was in type, we learn that
the storm was very severe at Peekskill and its
vicinity, and prostrated to the earth almost
every kind of vegetation. In some places the
ground was covered with hail stones to the
depth off) or 6 inches.

By an arrival at New-York on Sunday we
learn that it was expected that La Fayette
would not be ready to embark for this country
as soon as he had calculated-—the 1stofJuly.

A public meeting has been called at Mil-

petition with the Yankees, and concluded not

Powder Magazines in Brooklyn.-—It ap-
pears from the report ofa committee recently
appointed to examine the fact, that there are,
in fort Green, Brooklyn, five magazines, con-
taining in all 3,350 casks of gun-powder, ex-
clusive of a very large quantity in the princi-
pal magazine, which is in possession of the
U. States. The committee are of opinion,
that in case of an explosion in one of these
magazines, the fire would communicate to
the rest, in which case the villages of Brook-
lyn and Bedford,and the lower part ofthe city
of New York, would. probably suffer severe
injury ; the inhabitants have therefore resolv-
ed to petition the Legislature for an act pro-
hibiting the storage of powder at that place.

On the night of the l9tli inst. an attempt
was made to take the life of one of the most
respectable physicians of Baltimore, by a per-
son whose nephew he had been attending.—-
The person went to the physiciaii’s house late
in the evening and complained that he had
deceived him respecting his nephew’s disease,
and insisted on his going immediately to see
him. The doctor was at that time engaged,
but told him that he would go as soon as pos-
sible. He abruptly told him he should go, or
he would compel him. The doctor again ex-
cused himself, and the enraged man drew a
pistol and fired, but missing his aim he produ-
’ced another, which the doctor succeeded in
wresting from him, and with the help of some
gentlemen who were passing, the villian was
secured, and now awaits his trial.

The Raliway, N. J. paper states, that on
Satiirtlay evening, Mr. Azel R. Cutter, son of
Mr. Companion Cutter, of Woodbridge, was
drowned while bathing. A gentleman from
that place informs that a younger brother
of the deceased went on Tuesday to see the
place where the accident occurred, and while
leaning over the wharf fell into the stream
head. foremost, and was also drowned. Both
ofthe bodies had been found.

A man employed on «board the steam boat
which plies between Philadelphia and “I'll-

the penalty.

. A Theologiciil Combat was had in Philadel-
phia week before last, in the Universalist
‘Church, which lasted four days. ‘The parties
were the Rev, Mr. M’Calla, a Presbyterian,
and the Rev. Abner Kneeland, an Universal-

ment of the wicked‘ be absolutely eternal P’-
The disputation occupied sixhours. each day,
the parties speaking alternately half an hour
ata time. Many-spectators attended to hear
the discussion. The arguments advanced
were taken down by stenographers, and will
doubtless be published. VVe believe, with the
editors of the Statesman, that such exhibitions
have an injurious tendency, and ought to be
discountenanced by a christian public.

. A gentleman from Troy, who looked very
much like a Bank agent, arrived on Saturday
in the steam boat, and missed his trunk, con-
taining notes and drafts to the amount of five
thousand dollars. On Sunday, he saw "a por-
ter carrying the aforesaid truiik on board the
Brooklyn ferry boat,’ he followed and seized
the trunk, porter, and his einpl_oyer,who being
brought before the Police, proved to be a fel-
low traveller, who had left the trunk unopen-
ed at a tavern on Saturday, and when he was
making of? on Sunday, quite secure as he
thought, the owner fortunately passed by, and
recovered his property. The trunk was 0-
pened, the money all safe and the traveller
supplied with lodgings in Bridewell. By this
fortunate rencontre,a large amount ofproperty
was recovered.—.N'at. fldv. i

Steam Boat Incidents.—A few days ago a
passenger on board the Olive Branch, being
desirous to be set ashore at this village, but
being unable or unwilling to pay his passage,
the captain told him he should not go on shore
until it was paid. Our gentleman took his
station on the qtiarter of the boat, andjust as
she had cleared the dock, threw his wallet on
shore, took tip his budget, and very deliber-
ately marched off.

On board the James Ként was a passenger
intending to conic to Newburgh, and when in
sight ofthe place, told the commodore that he
wished to go to Albany, but was destitute of
funds. ‘I’ll not carry you to Albany for no-
thing, you must go ashore at Newburgh.’ The
wag lamented his misfortune, but there was
no appeal from the commodore’s decision; he
was ordered into the boat and set on shore.

The National Intelligencer, in order to ex-

belialfoftheir candidate for the Vice Presi-

allusion therein, however, to the “ whiskey in-
surrection,” about his concern in which we
apprehend there can be no doubt. But the

Singular Escape.—-On Monday of last
week, a Mrs. Van Renssalaer, who was a pas-
senger on board one of the packet boats be-
tween Utica and Rochester, had taken a seat
upon a chair near the bow of the boat. While
sitting in this situation the boat came in con-
tact with the abutment ofa bridge, and sud-
denly precipitated her into the canal in front
of the Boat. The man at the helm and the
driver both observed her situation, and the
former by keeping the boat from the wall,aiid
the latter by increasing the speed ofhis hor-
ses, materially aided in saving her life. - The
boat passed over her and she was taken from
the water at the stern, much exhausted, but
we are happy to add not dangerously hurt.

The North American Review, for July, a-
inong other excellencies, contains a review of
‘Faux’s Memorable Days in America,’ which
we hope will be read by all the idolatcrs of
Old England. This infamous scoundrel and
his worthy reviewer, Gifford ofthe Quarterly,
are treated with a proper severity,——Bost. pa.

We perceive that certain editors south of
us, are endeavouring to get up another great
race between Eclipse and any thing in the
world beside. Really,we hope to see no more
races of the kind. They not only have a bad
effect upon the public iiiorals——but are calcu-
lated to engender and keep alive sectional
feelings.—./V. Y. Spectator. _

A Baltimore paper suggests to the Citizens
ofthe U. States, that on notice being receiv-
ed of the arrival of La Fayette at N. York or
elsewhere in this Country, a Federal Salute
be fired in all the Cities and Towns through-
out the United States, and the National flag
be displayed for that day on all public places,
from Maine to Louisiana.—This will be a
preparative to ‘the general rejoicing in this
Country. .

0hii)‘alry.——-Some malignant star seems
lately to have gained the ascendancy in this
meridian. We mentioned the other day a
bloody affair which took place at l-loboken on
Friday morning of last week. But that was
not the only affair ofthe day. “to guess that
before four o’clock oftliat afternoon,the beau-
tiful green sward of the battle ground was a-
gain stained by the purple current 'of_ life ;—
‘and we guess that the parties were a lawyer
and a sheriff whose places of residence are
not a thousand miles from Utica. And we
also guess that the laivyer received a bullet in
his thorax, and nowlies languishing in -this
neighborhood, while the sheriff, nnhurt, has
gone hometo keep the peace in his own coun-
ty.. Another affair was to take place on Sun-
day, but the “party” was rudely interrupted.
And another did actually take place on that
day, near Bergen Point, between a couple of
gentlemen from the South, one of whom was
wounded in the breast and arm. We have
seen their names, but do not think it worth
while to give them.-—./‘V’. Y. Spectator.

Loss of the ship Edward-JV'ewton.—‘,Capt.
Tinlihani, arrived ‘at Boston on Tuesday from
Rio Jflaneiyro, brings an. accouiit of the loss of
the fit’l'e sliip Edward-Newton, on her passage
from Calcutta to Boston, ,which he understood
took place as follows :—Tlie ship wasrunning
down the S. E. trades, with skysails out, fine
weather, when all at once an explosion took
place in the magazine, and her larboard quar-
ter was blown out; in about 20 minutes she
was burnt to the water’s edge and sunk—the
ofiicers, passengers and crew took to the boats
and landed on the coast of Africa.-JV‘. Y.Spec.

The Edward Newton, burnt at sea, was an
elegant vessel--—on her first voyage-'—and—be-
longed to S. G. Perkins 82. Co. Insurance
on the vessel and cargo to the amount $9221,-
»000 had been effected—but it is expected
there will be a saving of388,000, for shortin-
terest. Balance $183,000.

IivsUrtANcr:.—Soine considerations of an
important bearing suggest themselves, by
hearing of the calamitous and destructive ef-

to the amount of at least $400,000, perhaps
$430,000, has been ascertained to have been
destroyed by this devouring element, within a
few weeks, of which about $250,000 was in-
sured, and at premiums 50 moderate as to re-
quire an insurance to the immense amount of
eighty-six millions of dollars to cover the
whole loss, provided it had all been insured.—-
It is a fact, that, with a few exceptions, the
property was of the first class. The vessels
and buildings were mostly insured at the very
lowest rates of premium, Itis to be remark-
ed, as a singular fact, that the two ships, the
Hannibal, and Edward Newton, were built
quite near to each other, lauuclied about the
same time, and both destroyed by fire-—one
ofthe effect ofligbtning,the other ofaccident.
Theloss to this city by the Edward Newton,
is probably much greater than any other that
has ever occurred. -
These facts shew a degree ofuncertainty in

the security of property, which makes itan
imperious duty in every individual ofthecom-
munity, however small he estimates the liaz-
ard, to secure, by the means of those highly
valuable institutions, “ Insurance Companies,”
all the property which he cannot afford to
lose.-—-Boston paper.

‘ From the ./Jlesxmdria Herald, July 9.13:.

A report of a very extraordinary nature, is
in circulation in the District ofColumbia, re-
garding one ol the causes ofthe late disasters
to the patriots in South America. It is said
that a Royalist General (Canterac probably,)
by certain means obtained admittance on board
of one ofotir ships of the li.ne——and was fre-
qucntly afforded an opportunity of _going on
shore as a common sailor, in which character
he was enabled to ascertain the precise situa-
ti.on and condition of the patriots. Having
understood that the black troops in one ofthe
fortresses were in a state ofdisquietude,owing
to the backwartlness oftlieir pay, he succeed-
ed in bribing them with large sums of money,
(of which he is said to have been quitelavisli)
to revolt, which they did, in the course of the
night, and thus the royalists, by previous cori-
cert, gained possession ofthe place with little
difficulty. The commander ofthe 74, while
on shore, was informed by Bolivar, that if
caught again from his vessel he should be in-
stantly hung. On requiring an explanation
of this threat, he was referred to his govern-
ment, on his arrival home. Itis also rumor-
ed that “ a Lady is in the case.”

The Supreme Executive power of Co-
lombia has despatched orders to the respective
ports ofthe Republic, positively prohibiting
ghose Spaniards who have emigrated from
the Peninsula from entering the territories of
Colombia, however liberal may have been
their opinions, and also extending the prolii-
bition to such Americans as may have co-op-
erated with Spain in the war against Colom-
bia.—Nat. Int.

tnerce by privateers of that nation,particularly
‘by the Gen. Santander.

VV. D. Robertson, Esq. the author of the
History of Mina, Mexico,$Lc. has the contract
for supplying the Colombian Government
with gunpowder, which, it is supposed will re-
alize a profit of 400,000 dollars. He is also
to supply the Government with arms and pow-
der. An offer had been made by an Eng-
lisli ‘House, but it was rejected.—Jam. Cour.

Praiseworth_y.—-At a meeting of the Board
of Visitors ofthe Military Academy at VVest
Point, on the evening of the 8th of June, it
was unanimously resolved, “ that in the opin-
ion of the ‘Board, the Sunday drills and_in-
spection ofarms ought to be dispensed with,
as unnecessary and inexpedient. Unnecessary,
asiu time of peace, no exigencies ofthe serv-
ice can require them ; and z'né2:pedient,as well,
because they interrupt the rest which the Cre-

1' has provided for all his crea.tures—-as be-
mse they are calculated to excite or cherisli
prejudices against the institution, in the minds
ofa large and respectable portion ofthe nation.

They are-also iitexpedieiit, because they are
calculated to disqualify the Cadets, for the pe-
culiar public duties ofthe day, and those more
private pursuits, which are so important in
their inlluence,upon the character and morals
of the members of the establishment.”-Obs.
