N PRISON.
' From the Report of the Comuiittee, ap-
pointed by the Legislature ,ofConnec,ticut at
their session in 1824, to inspect the condition
ofNew_j-Gate Prison, it appears that the whole
number of prisoners_ confined there, on the
23d day_ofFe,b. 1825, was 117. ()f_the.se 78
were,wliite'"-'—and S9, coloured p"risonei_j's; 5.‘.
are natives of Connecticut-—and 62 were born
in other States or countries; and 20 of the
number had been previously confined in the
prisons of other states. The numbe.r of pris-
oiierswhohave been confined in New-Gate
more than once, is 26-one ofwhom is "on his
fourth and another on his third ctiiivictioti;—"—
The number of convicts committed since the
establishment ofthe prison in 17"00,‘to the
year !39.4, inclusive, is 654. Thenumber of
convictions for the year 1822, 913, 24——is 158:
precisely double thenunibei; convicted the 3 _
years preceding. This increase, l.l‘l&COl_l}l1lll~
tee think, arises in part from the new provis-
ions introduced into our critninal code at the
revision in 1821. _ _
The prisoners on arriving at the prison are
placed to the trade to. which they have been
accustomed. Ifthcy have no trade. they are
employed as waiters,- common labourers, and
perform duty on.tl'7e tread mill. There art.-
VVagon and Machine makers, 9-—Nailers 16-
Blacksmiths 5-—Sho.emakers 29-Tailors 9'-"-
Coopers 11--Stone Cutters 3-—common la-.
borers 23-—-the others are either wa"itci's,cooks,i
etc‘. or are old and infirm. _" _ _
After deducting the avails of articles, man-
ufactured at the prison,‘. the" average‘ annual
expense on the Treasury ofthe State for the
last seven years h_as been ‘$7,589, t'o_i_° the sup-g
part ofthe prison-_—o‘i-_,‘3l,6S)9 lessper annpin,
than the average expense ofthelast 7 preced-
ing years. The number of pris‘oners in the
mean time, has been nearly doubled; though
it is only since 189.1 thattlie increase has been
This
lessening of expense has arisen from changing
the employmeuts ofprisoners fr. nail making.

State as otiicers, guard,"ELc. is -:.-at an ex-
pense of "$4,139, annually. The number of
guard is to the number of prisoners as 1 to 5

dition oftlie prisoners while at their labour in
the day appeared as comfortable as the nature
ofthe case will admit. But thougli the prac-
tice ofconlining them in the caverns during
the night has been abandoned, except occa-
sionally, still, in the opinion of the committee
there are strong objections to the practice of
confining them together in cells—as it tends
to promote vice and depravity.

“A circumstance is stated by one of these

and, when reduced to one-fourth oftheir outn-
ber, having doubtless lost all their officers in
the difi"ereut encounters, were barbarously
murdered after submission? To us there ap-
pears to be every probability that such is the
fact. The Wasp, it will be recollected,sailed
from Portsmouth in July, 1814, on her first
Crulze, and was reniaikalily successful in an-
noying the commerce of theenemy, having,

ilted at having “ outwitted him” as she term-

her for a fool, they would want back part of?

.N'anlucIcel.—At the present time the inhab-
itants of Nantucket may probably be comput-
ed at 7000-. The whole unniberof ships be-'
lougmg to this port, is between 60 and 70..
averaging more than 390 tons each. About
60 sail, exclusive of brigs and smaller craft,
are‘ now engaged in’ the Whale Fishery ; the
residue are employed in the freigltting-bush
ness, chiefly between Southern ports of Eu-
rope. Altogether, there are nearly 20,000
tons of shipping embarked in the Whale fish-
eries alone, from this port,_,.-. of me ships, a.
bout twenty are tiow in p '" and upwards of
40 absent : some of"the lafter procuring oil at
a distance from home equal to one halfol" the
carth’s circumference! Others may be found,
scattered along the entire coast of the South
American Continent, from the gulfofMexico
to that of Ca"tifornia—-and even upon the in-
hospitable coast ot‘J.1pan. Almost the whole
surfaceofthe great Pacific, on either side of
the equator, is traversed by these adventurers
-—coust_antly discovering Islands and explor-
ing regions, hitherto unknown to navigators
and gc0graphers——and protracting their voy-
ages trequently to the length of three years.
As may naturally be inferred, this extensive
pursuit must afford employment, uotonly to
the 22000 mariners immediately engaged ; but
to great numbers at home-—to the m=.nufac-
turers, to mechanics and ‘laborers of every de-
scription, and to multitudes of coasting ves-
sels, which convey the product to market-
bringing also most of the necessaries of life
from various quarters, on which the sterility
ot"our island compels us to depend. “fa can

selffiouudering in the water and assailed on
all sides by the drifting furniture. She heard
no sounds but those caused by the rushing and
side ofa birth into which, buoyed as she, was
by the water, she scrambled. It was after-
wards ascertained that this was the captain’:
birth, and fortunately it was a few inches
higher than any other in the ship.
In this birth Mrs. Eberman sat with her
head against the deck, and tip to her neck in
water. All was silent -and dark--her sensa-
tions were painful and coufnsed—-she suppos-
ed the vessel had sunk to the bottom of the
In this horrible situation, buried alive,
she grasped an orange, which was floating in
the cabin; she ate it and it greatly refreshed
her. She now heard a noise over head, and
with a cane which she had caught in the wa-
rer,she struck perpendicularly over her, a-
gainst the under side of the -deck. She was
answered by voices; hope revived, she breath-
ed more freely. and her miu_d became more
alive to her actual situation. She heard the
sound ofthe axe, it promisedlier deliverance,
btit it created the most agonlsing apprehen-
sions. Herhead was touching, was pressed
against the under side of the deck, and there
‘it must remain or be submerged in water :-
every stroke of the axe, more certainly assur-
cd her that it fell directly over her head——'-
these were among her mostagonized moments.’
At lengtli a chip, about the length -of the
axe, was taken‘out from the lower side ofthe
deck, and the light ofHeaveu again shed its
blessed influence on the sut't'et'ing mortal be-
neath. With the eageruess :-ippertaiuing to
so perilous a situation, 'M|_S. Eberman pushed
her hand, as far as it would go, through the
aperture. Her husband, with a husband’s
anxiousness and love, was on the outside of
the vessel ; who can tell his feelings when
the appearance of her hand, assured him
she was yet sensibly alive-—but his heart had
scarcely time to beat with joy, before it was
collapsed with horror. The axe oftheworltf~
man was uplifted and about to descend with
its sharpest edge, upon the hand ofliis w"if"e--
it would severit from the body—-it was hap-
pily arrested before it gave the fatal hlow.—.
Let us be brief-—a saw was-procured, a hole
sufiiciently large was made, and ‘Mrs. Eber-
man was once again folded in the arms ofber
husband, and restored to the world.

VALUABLE MEDICINE FOR. COUGIIS
_ AND CONSUMPTIONS.
HE high reputation that AM)ExsoN’s
Coven Doors and PECTORAL Pow-
DEBS have gained for Coughs and other af-
fcctions of the breast and lungs leading to‘
consumption, renders it unnecessary to say
mtich in recommending them to the public,
as no stranger proof of their possessing rm-’
common virtues could be given than will be"
found by reading the certificates 'accompany-
iug each bottle, givenby those of the first re-
spectabi lity, who have used them in cases of
long standing ; and some ofthctn, where their-
physiciaus had given them up as past recove-
ry, have been entirely restored by the use of
this medicine. The fact thatthey have now
been in use six yea rs,and that the demand the‘
present season has been tnuch greater than at
any former period is also a strong argument"
in their favour. Thousands h-ave.shortcne‘d
their days by neglected Coughs when first at-
tacked, which have soon terminated in a seat-
ed Consumption, and proved fatal. Scarcely
a case of Colds, Coughs, Pain in the side,
difficulty of breathing, want of sleep arising
from debility, or even Corisuniptions but may
be relieved by a timely use of this Healing
Balsam. Each Dollar Bottle ofthis medicine
contains about40 doses, which proves them‘
to be a cheap medicine. '
For the further satisfaction of the public,
the followingcertificates areoffer’d for perusal’.
NEW CERTIFICATES.
Mr. J. MELLEN: Sir-—Ifyou"think the fold
lowing statement of my case worth publish‘-
ing, you are at liberty so to do. I, the sub-
scriber, do hereby certify, that about the mid-
dle of August, 1892!, I was seized with a vie’-
lentpain in my breast which terminated in»8
or 10 days in an ulcer or abcess which dis-
charged a vast quantity of matter -attended
with a violent cough and spitting blood,-this a
continued until» some -time" in November fol
lowing. In the interim new ulcers gathered‘
and discharged ;which reduced me very fast.
[made-application to the physicians but to
no effect : by the above mentioned time, No-
vember, I was reduced to the last stage of
earthly existence, .when I heard of‘-A-uder-'
son’s Cough Drops,’I accordingly purchased‘
and made use of them, which soon gave me
relief,and after taking them regularly about
three months, to the astonishment of all my
neighbors, I gained my health and soundness;
therefore I feel in duty bound to say that I-'
believe said Drops to be the best .medi‘cin'e"
that was ever introduced itito the world for
complaints ofthe lungs. JOSHUA BLODGET.
B-urtomn'fle,' October 1823.
This is to certify that the subscriber was
brought very low by spitting blood, attended‘
with a cough anti catarrh,» and that nothing»
aflbrded me real relief untill commencetf
taking Anderson’: Cough Drops, the use of
which were the means in the hand ofGod of
restoring me again to a comfortable state of
stealth.-———And I do further certify that the’
wife ofMr. Nathan Huntington, living in the’
game place was afflicted with a verybad cough
for a number ofyears, and in 18': she was‘
weduced so low that it was thought she must
_.~oon be in her grave, as she was scarcely able
,.to walk from her bed to the fire, when she
_comtnenced’ta'king Anderson’s Cough Drops
‘the use of which, in'a short time sofar restor-
ed her, that she was soon able to do a good“
i;day’s work. I cauclieerfully recommend this: "
imediciue to the‘ public. Prune .Ion«so.\',-
