A ivy,“-argue -ofthe ._<.tttcmpt_to burn the
British Frigates in the North River,
July, 1776." . _
1, is rented by Marshall in his life of “lash.
irrgton, that in July, 1.778, while the American
army yet had possession of New York. Lord
Howe, who had btit recently arrived before
that city with his fleet, sentup two frigates by
the American batteries, which took their sta-
tion in the North River, and thereby put a
stop to the communication between the ar-
mies at New York and Ticorideroga. And
that to remove this interruption, a plan was
formed to set the frigates on fire, by means of
fire ships, which, though address and courage
were manifested in the enterprise, failed in the
execution, and only a tetider was burnt.
We have alluded to this event in order to
do justice to the character ofsonie of the men
who risked their lives in the hazztrdous at-
tempt to destroy these tiigalesi 1“ _ll’° '"3,"_"e’
already described. One oftlietn is yet living
in our neighbourhood, from whom We hall?
learned the circtiitrstances attending the tran-
sar-risrri, and though we are willitig to make
ai1,.u,(,.[-.].. allowance for the colouring which
an actor in such a scene would be ipt to give
its descriplioti, yet as we believe it to be sub-
stantially correct, as we find it coi'_robortit_ed
by lristor_v, and other testimony of living wit-
nesses. gflrc individual to whom we allude is
Mr. Joseph Bass, ofLeiccster, whose narra-
tive we will endeavor to glller 85 “€P3_‘"°d by
biinsnlf; though now humble in society, we
have incontestihle proofthat he was a brave
soldier in the war of our independence.
He was, at this time, attached to the ‘ water
service,’ under the cotnmand ofCom. Topper,
who was directed to prepare and send up two
fire ships to the British frigates. The bom-
li'llt)tl0l‘C selected Bass to take charge of one,
and put the other under the comiiiatid of
Captain Thomas, who belonged to N.Lond0n.
The vessel commanded by Bass W35 3 3.l°0Pa
called the Polly, of abotit one lruudred tom.
burden, nearly now. That commant_lted by
homas, was of a small size. The lrrgates
lay about 8 miles above Kingsbridge, but ha-
ving bad irrtiniations that they might be at-
tacked, removed their station towards the
western shore of the river, where W8 >50“?
was bolder, and the water deeper than 00 We
east side. _
The vessels intended for fire ships, were
prepared at New York, and moved up the
rjver on the day before the intended attack,
to a creek near Kiugsbridgc, which 0105595 1"
from the east, called Spiting Devil creek-
Tlre vessels had been prepared with faggols
{if very combustible wood, wlrich had been
dipped in melted pitch, and bundles of straw
out about afoot long prepared in the satire
-way. These faggots and bundles filled. the
deck. and communicated with a trough of flue
gunpowder which extended along utrdectlie
deck, front the hold into the cabin, and H110
this was inserted a match, that might be fired
by a person in Ilie cabin, who would have
time to escape through a door cut in the side
of the vessel_into a wltale boat that was lashed
torthe ‘quarter’ of the sloop. Besides these
combustibles, there were.in each vessel 10 or
19. barrels ofpitch, anda very great number
ofyards of canvass, cut in strips of about 8
foot in width, covered theyards and rigging,
and extending down to the deck, all of which
had been dipped in the spirits of turpeirtine.
Every thing had been so prepared that a trio-
Ill.-’ ;" as snflicicirt to pttt the whole into a
full blaze.
The fire ships started from the creek about
drrrk, with it south wind, and a favorable tide.
The night was clo.udy and dark, with occa-
sionally a little rain. Bass had nine tiieri at-
tached to his vessel. three of whom he sla-
tioned iii a whale boat, one acted as pilot,
while be stationed himself with a match in the
cabin to fire the materials.
Besides the two British frigates, there were
abonrb ketch and two tenders in company,
and n:oor-ed near them. They were anchor-
ed in a line about north and south ; first lhe
Phetrix of44 guns; next the Rose ofS6 gulls;
their the bomb ketch, and above that lay the
tenders. As the night was dark, and the fire
ships kept near the middle of the river, tney
were not aware that they were near the Brit-
vish vessels, tintil they heard immediately on
their left, the bells ofthe vessels and the cry
ofthe :-entinels of “ all’s well,” frotn their
several decks, It was twelve o’clock, and lit-
tle did those who were slumbering there im-
agine the destruction that hung over tlietn.-—
Tlie shore was bold and rose above the masts,
so that ilie Americans did not perceive till
that sound, how near they had approached,
nor cotrld they distinguish the situation ofthe
vessels enough to ascertain their size, or
which of thetn were the frigates. Bass was a
considerable distance in advance of Thomas,
and upon hearing the cry of the scntiiiels, ini-
mediately bore down upon the line of the
British fleet. He was already very near the
bomb ketch before he was discovered by the
enemy, who immediately began a severe can-
nonade upon his vessel, which datnagcd her
{rigging and mast, and some of the shot enter-
ed her hull. Btrt he was now under so rapid
a “headway” that he had no opportunity,even
if he had been inclined, to have retreated.-
As soon as he saw himself near enough to
the vessel towards which he was steering, to
be sttre that she shotild not escape, he gave
9I'dll'3 for his men to take to the boat, and
touching the match he leaped into the whale
boat and “ cast off” from his ship. Her‘ di-
rection had been too sure. The grappling
i-runs upon the bowsprit, yards, 820. became
interlocl-'.cd with the rigging of the bomb
ketclr, antl they were botlr,altnost immediately
in G) blaze. The panic struck crew of the
.‘rtett~h were seen pouring from the quarters of
that ship in the titniost agony of consterna-
tion. The fire ofthe burning vessels lighted
tip the surrotinding scenery with a horrid glare
of splendour. The one that reached the deck
the kctch from the cabin, was her cornrnand—
or, who was struck dead by a falling spar. He
was followed by two wometi and one or more
children, whose cries were heard atiiidst the
din of battle that now raged, and the impreca-
tions ofthe crew, many of whom threw them-
selves overboard and perished; while those
who remained on board, retreated to the point
nrost distant from the thirties, but soon sunlr
- zinuiiirrto them suffocated, bewildered and
cxlrausted. Capt. Thomas had not been so
fortunate, he was so far in the rear that the
light ofthe flames from Bass’s ship showed his
position to the enemy, and partially prepared
R 'théIiJ 5.0 meet his aback.‘ Not. l1°"f’e‘l°"t
" denoted by being discovered. he inimediatel)’
bore down upon the Phenix, and became
with her. He then applied his-match to the
combustibles, but in such a way that he be-
catne entangled in his own tire, and “'35 Obll‘
god to leap overboard to escape from the
flames, but not being able to reach the boat
he perished in the river. He also lost 5 men,
while B355 escaped without the lOSS Of Ol'l€.-
Although on fire in several places, the Phenix
escaped frortr destrtiction by cutting her rig-
ging and slipping her cables, with the lOSS Of
but fetv lives. Ofthe crew ofthe ketch, few
escaped. Nearly seventy men besides sotiie
women and children were the victims of this
merciless attack.
We can scarcely conceive a scene more
terrible than the one we have attempted to
describe, or one so calculated to awaken fear
in the breasts of those engaged in it. The
hour of the night, the uncertainty of success,
the almost certainty ofdestruction, -would be
enough to awaken a panic in the stoutest
heart; while the awful destruction that await-
ed the victims of sticcess wotild stagger the
resolution of the bravest. The darkness of
the hour, the unearthly light that glearned
on the wild scenery arottnd, the roar o‘fartille-
ry, andthe groans and shrieks of those per-
isliiug in tortures at which humanity shud
tiers, must have made it a scene unrivalled in
subliinity and terror. Yet_the feelings oftltat
day were of a kind to delight in such an exhi-
bition of vengeance upon the foes of our
country. It was a spectacle on which hun-
dreds, and we may say thousands, of the A-
mericans gazed that night with the deepest
interest. And this little band, altho’ they
had in a good degree failed in the accom-
plishment of their plan to destroy the Fri-
gates, were received with the warmest ac-
clainations ofgratitude on their return from
their perilous enterprise.
The attemptliowever, was not without its
effect. The frigates moved down the river
the ncxtday, atrdjoined the English fleet,and
left the river fora short titne open for the
coiiiiiitinicaiitrn of the Americans.
From the Connecticut Courant.
\Ve perceive the editors of the Mercury
and Times have copied itrto their papers a
recent law of Massachusetts relative to then -
trical exhibitions and public shows, and have
recommended the adoption ofa similar one-
in Connecticut, as a substitute for our existing
statute or) this subject. The law of Massa-
chusetts authorises the select men of any
town to license, at their discretion, theatrical
exhibitions, and imposes a penalty of 8200 on
all exhibitions ofthis kind, where alicense is
not previously obtained. This, as we under-
stand it, is in conformity with the laws of
sortie other States, which give to the munici-
pal authority of Cities, the power oflicensing
gambling houses. For ourselves, we are uti-
able to discover any good reason for referring
this subject to the discretion ofthe selectmen;
and are persuaded it would be attended with
numerous and serious evils. l.Ve should
therefore regret extremely tosee a law of this
kind adopted. We should much prefer ato-
tal repeal ofour present law, and the removal
of all restrictions at once, to any compromise
of this nature. The Legislature are compe-
tent to decide on the expediency of introduc-
ing into the towns and villages ofotir State,
the armtsernerits and vices of populous cities.
We are willing the qtiestion should be brought
before them, and fairly tried on its merits.-
If after the experience we have already had,
(and let it not be forgotten that a theatre was
once established in this State) it should be
thought desirable, in the present state ofsoci-
ety, and with the limited population of our
cities and towns to allow this species ofauiuse-
merit, and establish theatres, circuses. &'.c. in
the vicinity of our colleges and academics,
then let our present law be repealed at once ;
and let no restriction of any kitid be imposed.
lf these amusements are not objectionable ;
if as is claimed by sortie, their tendency is in-
nocent atid even betieficial, itis uiireasonable
and improper to require a license. If" on the
contrary, they are attended with all the seri-
ous evils ascribed to thetn by others, there is
an equal impropriety in giving the select-
inert the power to grant a license. But what-
ever measure the Legislature may deem it
proper to adopt in relation to this subject, we
trust they are not to be influenced by the mis-
erable attempts at wit, which are copied with
so mricli avidity by the editors ofthe. Mercury
and Times. Should the ptiblic good require
the suppression oftheatrical amusements, the
streets of a few newspaper editors in other
States, will not, we imagine, be thought of
sufficient corisequeuce to prevent it. And as
to the character of the State for which our
neighbors manifest so much concern, we have
no fearsthat it will suffer from stale and worn
out jokes on the “ blue laws” of Connecticut.
The story of the beer barrel has been told too
often to occasion anxiety on this point.
From the Jhnerican Mercury.
State Prisoii.—Among the important sub-
jects which will come before the Legislature
at the approaching session, none more impor-
tant will claim its attention than that of our
State Prison. Newgate has long been a
heavy annual expense upon otrr treasury ;—
and yet so little has it answered any good
purpose as a tneans ofrelormation, that it is
proverbially a place where the corrupt are
still further corrupted by the promiscuous in-
tercourse oftlre prisoners. 'We have tinder-
stood that it has cost the State for its support
and maintenance, more than ‘$200,000, and
for the last year‘ it has brought us in debt more
than 36000; and yet there are citizens a-
tnoug us who believe it to be not only_ the
most economical, but the most eflicient peni-
retitiary of our country. We believe such
facts exist, as will put this opinion to flight.-
The public attention has been for the last two
or three years throughout the country, strong-
ly attracted to this important subject. The
evils and the errors in our penitentiary sys-
tems have been examined and demonstrated,
and the public voice demands a refoririation.
New York has, to her immortal honour, gone
forward in this noble work. Her prison at
Auburn has become a uiodel for imitation, be
notwithstanding halfa million of money has
been lavished on the prison in the city of N.
York, she has ordered it to be abandoned,and
has, with a laudable munificence appropriated
the necessary funds for the erection of a new
prison on the North River, at Sing-Sing.-
Tlte legislature of Massaclnrsetts, at their late
session, also directed that a new prison be
built on the plan of that at Auburn. New
\
‘Hampshire and Vermont have cot1?l’3“1llVel)’
new and excellent institutions which have
produced arevenue to the State. The State.
ofMaine has also recently erected a new and
excellent prison, in which the convicts are
placed in‘ solitary cells at night, and during
the present session, Congress have appropria-
ted 340,000 for the erection ofa penitentiary
in the city of Washington. We hope these
examples will not be lost on the nietnbers of
our Legislature, and that they will give to the
subject an investigation commensurate with
its importance. Connecticut ought not to be
behind her sister States, in the character and
condition ofherr penitentiary, and we trust the
time has nearly arrived when this institution,
which has been hitherto an opprobriuni and
burthen to the State, shall be so no more.
A Li:ct'i'iMA'rt~: or THE PACIFIC.--()nlll6
arrival ofthe Bloiide at the place of her des-
tination, Lord Byron landed, and attended by
his first Lieutenant, (the Hon. Wm. Keatli,)
and others ofbis Ofiicers, proceeded to the
Palace of the young Kiug,(Kauliiauli,) whotn
he found enjoying the royal sport ofrolling in
it tar barrel ! His Majesty received the party
with great kindness, and iinmediately puton
(smeared as he was) it suit of the Windsor u-
niform, presented to him in the name of our
Sovereigns, by Lord Byron. Thus habited,
he stiutted about with the tnost provoking
gravity. Similar clothing was presented to
all the great Ofiicers ofthe State and House-
hold, which, by the I{ing’s command, those
Diguitaries assumed, route (16 suite. A ban-
quet was now anuotinced, to ivliicli Lord By-
ron and his Oflicers, were invited, and the in-
vitation having been accepted, all sat down to
the entertainment. A short tiitie had however
elapsed, when his Majesty, and the great func-
tionaries, by whom he was surrounded, began
to exhibit signs of uneasiness ; the tern pera-
ture cftlic Roya_l apartment was high ;-—the
Windsor tiiriforni was unbuttoued, but it at‘-
lorded no relief. His Majesty, in consequence,
threw off the coat, and was imitated by his
courticrs, the rest followed, the rernairritrg
garments were similarly abandoned, and at
length, relieved from the incumbrance of
clothing, the King and his Court proceeded to
discuss with their usual gout the ntiiiierous
dishes placed upon the board in succession,
each inatr helping himself with his fingers,
direct frotn the dish. It is only fair to add,
however, that every person at table,had been
furnished with a basin of water at the begin-
ning oftlie feast, in which they washed their
hands between each remove.
The cunning of the natives of the Sand-
wich Islands is almost proverbril. That they
are not devoid oflrumotir, the following fact
proves :-—An iudlvidrial, who accompanied
Lord Byron, displayed the utmost anxiety to
procure curiosities, and repeatedly remonstra-
ted with sotne ofthe ofliccrs ofthe Court, on
the neglect ofbis reiterated requests. “ \\'ait
a_,day or two,” said the Functionary, “and
yoti shall have sortie, we are getting them
made for you.”
Jfiuncliausen oultlone.-—In a recent account
given of New Holland and Van Dienren’s
Laird, it is stated, that in these colonies, there
are to be fottud birds without wings, as large
as deer, their bodies being covered with hair
instead offeathcrs; beasts with the beaks of
birds; ferns, riettles, and grasses, growing to
the size and shape of trees ; rivers running
from the sea, and lost in the interior swamp ;
where the fields are fenced with mahogany,
and myrtle trees are burnt for fire wood ;---
swans are black, and eagles white; where the
mole lays eggs, and has a ducks hill; where
tongues, in their mouths; where pears are
tirade of wood, with the stalks at the’ broader
ends; and last ofthese wonderful deviations
frotn the ordinary operations ofnature, where
the cherry grows with the stone outside. As
litre a string oflies, as Fearon himself could
lie togctlier'.——Sa.’cm Obs.
Two boys, it is said, have fought a duel in
Middlebury College, and one oftheiii proved
himselfa better marksman than either of his
prototypes in Wasliiiigton, having wounded
his antagonist in the arm. Both have since
been expelled--pity that a similar conse-
qtierrce did not follow from the late honorable
meeting at the seat of govertirnerrt.

Cure for Wens.—Tlre following extraordi-
nary fact has lately come to our knowledge.
A planter in the vicinity of Raleigh, N, 0,
had been for some years afflicted with a Wen
onhis neck, which grew so large as to be very
inconvenientand distressing. After trying 8
number ofremedies, he was advised by one of
his neighbours to wash it two or three times a
day with strong salt water,(water in which 53],
had been dissolved.) He did so, and to his
great reliefand comfort, the Wen gradually
decreased in size, .rnd finally disappeared !—
Let those who are similarly afflicted, “ go and
do lil:ewise.”—Ralez'gh Reg.
