‘Dorms or AN Eni'roa.——Of the multitude
of persons who are regaled every morning
or evening with an xample slieet- filled
with literature, politics, entertainment, ad-
vice, morals and news, how few have any
conception of the labor of hands and brain,
which the preparation of it has cost. The
whole time of several individuals has been
devoted to afford him the amusement of an
hour or two. An editor has indeed a hard
life of it. He must know every thing, hear
every thing, read every thing, and give an
opinion upon every thing. He must ac-
commodate himself to an infinite variety
of tastcs——to the young and the old, the
grave and the gay, the sentimentalist and
the man of business, the countryman and
the cit. He must be all things to all men
—he mustolfend no man——lie must instruct
amuse, and inform. He must never loose
his temper, happen what will. And yet
with the best intentions in the world, he is
constantly liable to give offence. A sub-
scriber writes a communication which has
neither sense nor gramme-r, rhyme nor rea-
soii—it is rejected—the writer comes up
foaming at the mouth, to take off his name
from the subscription list, and is our enemy
forever after-.——And then an editor has al-
ways a regiment ofkind friends, who drop
in upon him every day, to read his papers
and give him advice. Some tell him that
his paper is too light and trifling, others,
that it is too business like—some complain
that we are lukewarm in the cause of tem-
perance, others, that we are harping upon
that string till all moderate people are dis:
gusted with it.—And to all this we must not
only he resigned, but grateful.
The toils of an Editor know neither end
nor intermission. The lexicographer comes
at last to the end oftlie alphabet-—thc gal-
ley slave reaches his harbor—-but his labor
is renewed with the rising sun of every day.
In vain Nahant woos him with its cool
breezes—in vain Niagara foams and thuii-
ders and decks itself with rainbows-in
vain the Kaatskill displays the shady bow-
ers. Au iron hand grasps him and keeps
him at home. He must pace the side-
walks the whole summer long, and breath
the lazy city air.—-In the fiery dog days he
must rack his brains——already as dry as it
sucked orange--for something to tickle the
maw of that insatiable monster—the pub-
lic. He must be always on his post. And
for all this he must be content with nothing
but the approbation of his own conscience
-—i1 noble reward, truly, but unfortunately
a thing too etlierial to be coined into bread
and butter.-——]l{er. Journal.
Pnorssmnr Dissnrvrr.as.—'I‘lioiigli this
large and respectable class of the popula-
tion of England have, within a few years
past been relieved by Parliament from
many of the grievances laid upon them in
the dark ages of Church History, others
still remain, for the repeal of which petitions
bgyeh beenh rectialntly presented, amongst
w ic are t e fo owin :
1. Compulsory confgrmity to the rites of
the Episcopal Church for the celebration of
Matrimon .
‘.3. Theycxaction of Church-rates, and
other Ecclesiastical demands.
3. Liability oftheir Houses of \Vorsliip
to poor-rates.
4. The denial ofthc right of burial bytlieir
own Ministers in Parochial Churchyard.
5. Virtual exclusion from the Universi-
ties of Oxford and Cambridge, for the edu-
cation of their sons, and the want of a
Charter to the London University.
6. The want of a legal registration of
births and deaths of Dissenters.
It is confidently expected by the Dissen-
ters we learn fr.nnEnglis'.i Journ ils,tliatre—
lieffrom a portion of these grievances will
be obtained during the present session of
Parliament, viz; those which relate to tax-
ing their places of worship, parochial re-
gistration, and privilege of being married by
their own ministers agceably to their own
form; and no exertions for a repeal of the
remainder will be spared until the prayer
of the exemplary and conscieucious people
is granted.
It is understood, also, from the same
source of intelligence, that Parliament will
not have time, at the pfescnt session, to en-
ter upon the contemplated important bill for
the Reform of the Church of England.
The following portrait ofDon Pedro, we
have reason to believe, is a correct likeness :
Lian I’edro.—A letter from Oporto, writ-
ten by :1 gentleman who has frequent op-
portunities ofseeing this person and wit-
nessing the mode which he passes his time
gives us the following accouut;——Don Pe-
dro is certainly an extraordinary, although
I cannot call him a great man. He rises
early in the morning, sometimes at 5 o’clock
and before he receives his oliicers frequently
amuses himself for an hour in composing
music or making notes upon the plans of
operations which have been subiuited to
him or which he has received from differ-
ent quarters——Some of these observations
-are shrewd, but, generally speaking, he is
not to be considered a clever man.
After breakfast, which is speedily dispatch-
ed, hc receives those who are presented to
him by his ministers, and then -rides out
with Sir John Milley Doyl or another elli-
eer ofthe service: but Sir Milley is his
favorite. He confers with his ministers on
his return, and requires an account
ofall that has occurred since the preceed-
ing day. In couucillic is sometimes fruvilous,
and at other times self-willed. This has
been carried sometimes to such an extent
that lrl-lt.2l’8 has been two or three instaces in
xvhicli the ministers, in order not to ruin
their cause, have had secret consultations
and come to resolutions which he knew
notitlng of, until they had been carried into
effect. Home of the most important ar-
rangements connected with the‘ expedition
of the Algarves were made in this way.—-

This has been a proud week for Middle-
town ; the hotels have been throngcd to
overflowing, and it is supposed more stran-
gers have been here than at any former pe-
riod in the history of our city.
On Monday evening a meeting was held
in the Presbyterian Cilltl'Cl), in belialfof the
late resolution of the Bible Soi.-iety, to
attempt the supply ofevery destitute family
in the world. Addresses were made by
Rev. Mr. Baldwin, and Dr. Reese of New
York. From the spirit that seemed to pre-
vail in the meeting and the well known lib-
erality of the citizens of Middletowu, in ev-
ery good work, I have no doubt a liberal
subscription will be raised here, to aid the
Ameriean Bible Society in fulfilling their
noble resolution. '
On Tuesday evening the students of the
University gave an exhibition of public
speaking, which delighted :1 very large an-
dience, by orations, dissertations, dialogues,
&c., and was received witlI_unboimded ap-
plause. The “ eulogy on Mrs. Trollope,”
and a “ dramatic dialogue on Phrenology”
went off admirably; while in the gi'av<-gr
portions of the performance, much mind
and talants were exhibited.
But \Vednesday, being “ commence-
ment day,” had filled the city with stran-
geis, and amid the merry peals of all the
church bells, the procession, headed by a
band ofniusic, left the University building
at an early hour, and marched to the new
Methodist Episcopal Church, where the
commencement was held. The class of
candidates headed the procession, next the
students, then President Fisk, his excellen-
cy Governor Edwards, the Faculty, Trus-
tees and Visitors of the University, the Rev.
Clergy, and other distinguished strangers,
among whom I preceivcd Professor North,
of Hamilton College, Lieut. Mather, Ad-
junct Profcssor ofChemistr_v and Mineral-
ogy at the ‘West point Military Academy,
and many other literary gentlemen. On
reaching the door of the church the line of
students divided, and the procession, head-
ed by Prcsident Fisk, entered the church,
and ascended the platform erected for that
purpose, when the ceremonies of the day
were commenced. The house was filled to
overflowing, and although the exercises con-
tinued nearly five hours, the audience inan-
ifcstcd the highest gratification till the close.

her. In closing she has the following re-
marks: “ II I shall have been so happy as
to gain the approbation nftliosc for whose
sake I have far departed from the strict
limit which ancient prejudices have but to
long prescribed to our sex, I shall be ain-

Accaunt 0fIIavana,--In a city, the pop-
ulation of which is so mixed, the habits of
the lower classes so dcrnoralized, among
whom gambling and its concomitant drun-
kenness is so prevalent-——in a city where
[her is no police, no wonder that robberies
and assassinations are of almost daily oc-
curreiicc. Some time ago no fewer than
seven white people were murdered in one
day. People are robbed in open day, in
the fr-llowiiig manncr:—Two villains come
up on each side of a pedestrian, displaying
long knives under their arms, while a third
alelibcnttelv takes out his watch, purse gold
shirt buttohs, doc. and whispers if the least
noise is i‘uade,thekuifc will do its office;
and though the plundered individual may
at't-s:rwai'ds i'ecogni'/.e tho robbers,lic is ufiruid
to give evidence against them, and iuust put
up with his loss.
V‘/lien the least scuflle takes place in the
streets, all the doors and wiiidows arc bas-
tily closed in the ncigliboi'bood—tlie iii-
mates are much aflraid of being called up-
on to give evidence in :1 case of murder.
The bodies of the iniirdered are exposed
for a day in the street, behind the goal, in
order that their relatives may claim them.
One afternoon I happened to be passing
the govcrinnent house with my friend Mr.
Jacksoii, t12I(l()i)SCl‘V'£3{l it sin-.ill crowd col-
le-cted—\vc looked over the shoulders of the
people, and saw a ghastly sight. In an
open bier, with legs and liuiicllcs to it, lay
he corpse ofa white man about 40 years
ofnge, rather a good looking and we-aringa
grim smile on his countenmicc. A dread-
ful gasli was in his tlirout, his hands were
also cut in the death struggle, l trowsers
were torn, and litei'-ally s coped in gore.
This was :i Gzilicisiii shopkeeper, who had
been inurdercd in his own store two or three

The Slave insurrection in C’iz!'m:.—VVe
have rt’-ccivcd mlditoiizil illf()l'i'l3t1iiOll in re-
gard to this rebellion. It appears that 500
or (330 slaves had been smiigglcil in from
.-‘.l'rie;i, and landed at a place about 30 miles
‘\Vest. ofilavuiizi. Some CO:l‘ll1lul‘liC(tilGl1 took
place between them and the slaves on the
iieigliluniiig plantations, in wliicli the for-
mer were giveii to understand that a griev-
ous niortnlity was prevailing among the
blacks on the island, [Clioler.'i,] and that it.
was occasioriizd by poison given to them by
the whites. This drove the new comers
to dcspeintion, and tliinking that they might
as well die one day as auotlicr, they rose
upon their keepers and munlercd tliem.—
On this intelligence being spread, a mili-
tziry C-iiptzaiii, with two other persons, pro-
ceeded to the landing, in order to do away
the iinpi'cssiou prevuiliiig among the in-
siirgents, and briugtlicin back to subordin-
ation. Tliese men were also killed. A.
troop of cavalry, consisting of about30 men
was then sent agiiinst tlic in.=i:rgcrits, wlioby
this time had been joined by some of the
slaves on the iieiglilioririg pluiitzitioiis, and
ii battle ensued, in hillcll a number of the
blacks were killed, and also two officers
and scvcr:xl privzitc-s ofthc troop. The re-
mainclc-r,fuiding their force iusuflicicnt to
suppress the iiisuri'cction, retreated. A
larger body was then sent, and poured a ter-
rible firn upon the i.“.sui'gents, which killed
403 or500. The whole loss oftlic whites
is stated at 30 or 110. At the date of the
last Etccflllills, the rebellion was considered
at an end. The iiegi'r:es we und .rstand,
had no weapons but clubs and stones. J.C.

Attempt at Assassination.-—On my way
SUMJVIARY.
from my oflice to my lodgings, last evening
I passed G. J. Trotter on Market st. a few
doors below the Postofiice. As I ap-
proached, he retired behind a large gentle-
man, who was standing near, and, after I
had passed about ten feet beyond the place
where he stood, he stepped forward, drew a
pistol, and fired at my back. The ball gra-
zed my side, inflicting a slight wound.
I drew a short pistol, which I were about
my person, presented and snapped it. I
then closed with Trotter and bore him to
the pavement, the dirk, whichlie had worn
rather ostentatiously all day, dropping up-
on the pavement, and leaving the wretcli
utterly defencelcss. I held him upon his
back several minutes; and nerveless and
weak enough I found him--but, for my soul
I could not slay him though my weapons
were at my fingers’ ends. I have been
warned against these attempts at murder,
but I could not realize that Geo. J. Trotter,
ferocious, blood thirsty, and cowardly as be
is, could meditate so dastardly a deed. He
was attended by his right trusty friend and
cousin H. C. Pope, who seized this oppor-
tiinity to snap his pistol at Mr. Cocke, a-
guinst whom it seems be entertained a
gi'udge ; but, upon the advance of Mr.
Cooke, who is :1 very resolute man, the lit-
tle gentleman skipped away and elopcd
from the scene through and open window.
I now give notice, in sober seriousness,
that I will except no more challenges from
any of his crew. In obedience to “cus-
tom,” I have offered fair and honorable
combat, but honor and fair dealings are
thrown away upon enemies of this temper.
Let them not however, be emboldened by
this pledge, nor secretly exult in their own
safety. To prevent “ assassination” I wear
.“tl'ii‘iS, am} to chastise insolence, I havea
cane. It is for the civil authorities to de-
icrniine how much fartlier these things are
to be tolerated in a country which is under
11,0 goveriimeiit ofthe law.

The foilowingis an extract of a letter,
from Mr. John Ball, one of the expedition
which fitted out for the Oregon‘, some time
since.
In general terms, “the geology of tile
country west of the Rocky Mountains re-
sembles that oftlie east side, as described
by Dr. Edwin James, in a remark.ible de-
gree. The basis rock is red sand stone (of
the Ilcd Sandstone Group De La Bache)
on which rests immense piles of Basaltic
rocks, like those of New Haven, Northamp-
ton, Grceuficld, the Palisadoes, on the
lludson, &c. The read sandstone moun-
tains oftcii rise so high that snow never
melts on their top. These nearly resemble
the red sand stone inouutaiiis of Connecti-
cut River between Northampton in Massa-
cliusetts, and the south line in Vermont.”
“ The climate on the west side of the
Rocky Moiiiitaiiis is remarkably uniform.
It r.'ii'ely rains, from the mountains to with-
in 9.00 miles of the Pacific ocean. The
temperature there rarely rises above 50 de-
grees of I-‘alirenlicit, or falls below 35 at
noon, perhaps neverbclow 20 at night, and
never so high as 60. In lat. 55 deg. plants
and trees are in flower all winter; and the
business ofniowiug grass can never be re-
quircd there ; it continuing fresh and green
all the year. Vegetable growth is enor-
mous, where rain falls or rivers run. But a
large portion oftlie country, between the
Rocky It-loiiiitiiiiis mid a strip of land 300
iiiilcs in width, along the Pacific, is rarely
visited by rains, sufficient_to sustain thrifty
vegetable grow.tli.
Steam Boat 1Vcw Englanrl.—\Ve have
been gratified in having an opportunity to
examine this New boat. She has been
built by Messrs. Lawrence dz; Sneden for
the Connecticut River Steam Boat Coin-
pany, and being designed to rim between
this city and I-Iartford, is constructed in a
very substantial manner of the best ma-
terials, and the most approved form. Her
burtlicn is about 5270 tons; drauglit 45' feet;
length 1533, and breadth 23 1-53, (including
guards 50.) The engine is one hundred
and twenty horse power with two copper
boilers of great strength. But the com-
fort and convenience ofthc passengers has
not been lost sight of, in providing for their
safety. The Main cabin is seventy four
feet long, including a portion which may
be allotted to lady passeng;-rs, and admits a
table of sixty—four feet. This cabin is
spread throughout with a well selected
Brussels carpeting, and furnishes with the
otlier cabins eighty eight births, twenty
eight being for the ladies, all supplied with
hair mattresse. The births designed for
the gentleman are hung with worsted dain-
ask curtziins; those for the ladies, with
blue and 01'.‘-‘tllg‘C satin damask. The pan-
uel-work of the cabins is in good taste,
and the ceilings are of ample height; that
of the ladies upper cabin particularly, it
being full eight feet. The deck is unusu-
ally free and uniucumbered ; the passages
at the side of the engine are high and
wide; the ofiices, baggage rooms and
stair-eases well disposed, and the engin-
cre’s and pilot’s rooms near their posts of
duty. Above there is a spaciciis promen-
ade of one hundred and sixteen feet in
length perfectly secured as it passes the en-
giue,ar.;l thereby affording a very exteri-
tcnsive and airy walk. The New England

town, lost an interesting daughter, about
3 years old, in the following melancholy
maniier: She with her two brothers, the
eldest?’ years old, were at play together
in the chamber, when the two boys got
possesion of a loaded musket and an old
gun-barrel, and began playing soldier.—-
Tbe little boy with the loaded musket ig-
norant that it was charged, aimed it at his
little sister, fired, and shot her in the back,
which occasioned her death in about five
hours. The gun had been used the day
before for the purpose of shooting pigions-—
and had been placed away, where it was
siipposedtlicyouiig children could not get
it.—1lIiddlctown Sc7:.tz'~zel.

which have arrived in this port during the
eight months which have expired of the
present year. It is furnished by Capt,

may therefore be relied on for correctness.

pal Church, where he was found suspended
by a silk liandkcrcliief, on \Vedncsd:i_v mor-

young woman in Lowell, with whom he
was in company till? o’clock on Tuesday
niglit.—-No discii_g:igeniciit had taken place
between them, and she noticed nothing un-
usual in his appearance or beliaveiour, ex-
cepting that when he parted from her, he
said, “\Vell Sarah I suppose] must bid
you good bye, for the last tz'mc——hut I do
not want to.” She had no suspicion, howev-
er, of his intention to commit suicidc.—Bos-

Virgil. —A new and handsome edition of
the Works of this eminent ancient poet, has
been published in Baltimore, and is for sale
by MeElrath, Bangs & Herbert, of this
city. The original text is reduced to the
natural order ofprosaie construction, with
an intei-linear translation, in smaller but
distinct type, which is as nearly literal as
the idiomatic difference of the Latin and
English languages will allow. It is inten-
ded for the use of schools.—Spcctator.

dc Taylor, on Front street, in this city, was
entered by aback door, from whence, by
means of a barrel and plank, the robber
ascended to the upper stories through the
hatchwuys, from wliere it is supposed he
fell, and dashed his brains out against the
barrel which he had made use of to ascend
by. These are the circumstances as rela-

S1/,_,r_rm'_from Polaincs.-—Tlie Clcaveland
(Ohio) Advertiser of Aug, 22, says that a
small quantity ofmolasses was brought to
that village last week, from Medina county,
manufactured from potatoes. Eleven quarts
el mid three peeks of potatoes. The fla-
vor is pleasant, and the article equal in ev-
ery rcspect to ‘Vest India molasses. The
process of manufacturingis said to be sim
ple, and not expensive.
The Vice President ofthe United States
arrived in this village on Sunday last, froin
Montreal, and took passage for Oswego In
the steam boat United States. He was ac-
compmiicd by his ‘premonitory symptpm.’

Fire in the I'Voo(7s.——Tlie woods in the

Several hundred cords of wood and consid-

Ifarlfortl Review.
Jacob Edes, a young and respectable me-'
of thick molasses was procured from a bu.~~li- ,
Tun CA:\"rs._ni3Uav Excr'r.=:nrir.N1'.—'I'his un-
fortunate affair appears farther from it settlement
than ever. We published last week, an account
of the trial, which resulted in a disagreement of
the jury,and their discharge. Since that period
a full report of the trial, including the testimony
and arguments of council on each side has ap-
peared in lhejournal of Cominerce—-aletter from
Miss Crandzill to Arthur Tappan containing hr.-r
slatcmcnt of the controversy in-the Commercial
Advrrtiser, and a confirination of the statement
which we published but doubted, that “.7lIi'.9s C.
and her pupils hrul been rg/‘used adnnlance into
the meeting house,” in one of the eastern papers.
A new trial is soon to be bad, but whatc~ver the
result may be, the question will be carried by the‘
defeated party, into theliigher courts, and remain
open for some time to come. This is to be re-
grctted. \Vhen such excitcmente arisc,tlicy re-
main longer, and rage to greater extent than
their uppczirancc and causes would seem to indi-
caie that they would do, after the causes are re-
moved, for they are soon connected one way or
another, with every question upon which men
dill‘-.~r in opinion ——Oltl tires are eukiadled anew’:-
and feelings eiigendered from their combined in-
fluence, which cloud the social and moral atmos-.-
phere for years. Having the case remain open
in court, will do much to increase the evil ten:
dency of this excitement, and every man who
wishes well to that peace and harmony which is
e=s-_‘i.t':al tofillieliappfncss ofeommunity, must rc-
gret it. '
From all the statements which have been pub-
lished, it appears to be true that Miss Crandall
did wrong in breaking up so unceremoniou.-ly,
the school she had been assisted in getting up,
and in forming ll-e connection and entering into
the engagements, she afterwards formed, and
cntcrcdfinto without consulting,er at least inform-
ing those by whom she had been invited into the
place and patronized.of her intentions. Propriety
Pro;-iriety, because there was a connection be-
tween them which entitled them to mutual cun-
tizlencc; and policy, because a moderate knowl-
elge of human nature, and of the prejudices
which exist on this subject, must have taught her
t.‘-zat the expei'incnt was sufficiently hazardous,
without arraying against it that feeling which is
excited by an actual or supposed abuse of confi-
dence, or want of decent respect for the opinions
and feelings of others. The most charitable con-
conslructicn we can put upon this dereliction is,
that when she visited Boston and N. York, she
had not fully decideil,bnt that the encouragement
she met with from those with whom she advised,
and the liberal offers which were addressed to
her interest, determined her to go on. _
In one other instance we think MissC.to blame.
\Vhen she foam} that the good people of Center-
bury wcre against her, and had almost unanim-
ously expressed their disnpprobalion, she should
have abandoned her project for that place, and
.=ougl.t some other, and if the same prejudices
were indulged, and she could not overcome them
by consultation and persuasion, rather than set
them at defiance, and enter into E. warfare in
which religion and benevolence would loose so
much, she ought to have abandoned it altogether.
By pursuing the course she has, she has subject-
ed herself to trouble—injured§he cause she might
have benefitted, and indirectly, every thing good
tliatluis been connected with it.
On the other hand, however, there have been
feelings indulged. and acts committed, which
neither the iznporlrmce or circumstances of the
case v.'oulrljus!.._»'/‘_2/, and which every candid mind
must condemn. \Vhen the excitement shall
have died away, and men review the cccurrence
dispassioiiately, the conduct of individuals who
have been most. active in inflaming the public
mind—in getting up mcetings——in heaping per-
sonal abuse upon a young l:idy—in expelling her
from the meeting house in which she wished to
worship-iind in procuring the passage ofa crim-
inal law for her particular pilnislimcnl, will ap-
pear in no enviable light. If we mistake not
the day will arrive when the occurrence will be
associated in history with the witch-crq/‘t scenes
of Salem.
Rev. E. K. Avi:av.——'I‘his indiiizlual. who has
been so long before the public, is, we under-
stand, about to retire from public life. It is
ii matter of surprise to us that this\str'p has not
before been taken, for in our view it is the only
judicious one that could be taken. VVbether he
be innocent or guilty, is not our province to de-
clare; but in either case. retirement is the most
proper course to lull to rest that excitement which
has followed him wherever he has directed
his steps. He has been tried and mljiidged inno-
cent by twelve of the most disinterestd men that
could be found, who sat as ju:ors. Deffercnce
to the laws ofthe country and to the individuals
concerned in administering their, should protect
him from insult. Having been acquitted by the
tribunal of man, his case now rests with Him
who cannot be deceived. If indeed he is guilty
as many are prone to believe, we envy him not
his peace of mind. Mr. Avery, as well as his
friends. feel confident that the disposer of human
events, will ere long remove every doubt which
liiings upon the mind of community relating
to his case, now so enveloped in'darkness.
VVbile on this subject we cannot but condemn
the course which many presses have taken in re-
gard to this subject, and hope he will not be fol-
lowed into his voluntary exile.
EARTHQUAKE.-—Tl)6 account which we pub-
lished in our last, of the ezirtliqunke in Virginia
having caused the death of 40 neg-roes engaged
in coal pitts, appears to be untrue. VVe are bap-
py to state, there were but two deaths occasion-
ed by it. When the shock was felt. a person
employed in the pills, in his fright seized a rope
to which the bucket for raising the coal was at.
tnched, in order to climb to the mouth, but being
unable to reach the top, lost his hold and fell back,
which caused his death, and that of another per.
son upon whom he fell in his descent.
and policy would have dictated ii different course. _
