Famine apprehended in the Southern Provinces of Russia. 

 A famine is seriously anticipated in the Southern Prov- 

 inces of Russia, and it was expected the ports of the 

 Baltic and Black Sea would be thrown open for the free 

 importation of grain and flour. Letters represent the 

 situation of the people as miserable beyond power of 



description. An agent of the estates of Prince says, 



though furnished with pecuniary means, I can nowhere 

 rind sustenance for the poor starving creatures confided 

 to my care. I see men daily rolling upon the ground, 

 nuable to work for want of food. The price of a pood, or 

 40 lbs. of rye meal, which in days of abundance can be 

 purchased for 30 copecks, and at no time have I ever 

 known it to be higher than 150, is now 400 copecks, and 

 I should not wonder to see that price doubled. The rot, 

 in some places, has broke out among the cattle, and se- 

 rious apprehensions are entertained that the cholera will 

 make its appearance ; whole villages, with their furni- 

 ture, may be seen moving towards the north, selling as 

 they go along almost every article for the purchase of a 

 scanty meal. — London paper. 



Horrid Murder. Mr. John Jackson of China was in- 

 humanly murdered a few nigh-ts since, by that devil in- 

 carnate, New Rum. John had for several years been 

 intimate with the scoundrel, and had often been thrown 

 down and otherwise abused by him before, but still was 

 so infatuated as to feel happy only when in his company. 

 A few vears since he was persuaded by him to. commit a 

 theft, for which he was punished in the State Prison ; 

 here he was for a time deprived of the society so dear to 

 him. and on his liberation the acquaintance was resumed 

 and all went on as before till two or three weeks ago. 

 when John was thrown down in the road by his friend 

 and lay exposed to the inclemency of the weather during 

 the whole night. The exposure was too much for his 

 rum-shattered constitution and in a day or two he died.

STEAM RICE MILL, AT SOUTH BOSTON. 



THE subscriber having purchased the Patent Rice Machines 

 of Messrs. Strong, Moody &■ Co. of Northampton, with the 

 exclusive privilege of using; them in Boston and a large vicini- 

 ty, has put them in operation at South Boston, near the Free 

 Bridge. It is well known that rice iu its rough state, or with 

 lis outer hull on. will keep many years, and that after been 

 cleaned, it is subject (particularly in warm weather) to weavil, 

 and other insects, and is usually put in bad casks— lie therefore 

 hopes, by having this article always in a fresh state, in disks of 

 different sizes, to meet with a ready sate. The mode of clean- 

 ing being entirely different from any other now in use in any 

 other country, the grain is kept quite whole and very clean. It 

 will he put in -nod casks of us^ial siz^, for export ; also in bar- 

 rels and half barrels, and in bags of 100 lbs. each, (which may 

 be returned ;) also ground into fine Flour, in quarter barrels — 

 it will be delivered in any part of the city, for a reasonable 

 charge, and will not be sold in smaller quantities. Also, the 

 fine Bran, or Flour, so called in the Southern States, being the 

 inner coat of the grain, excellent food for horses, cows, hogs, 

 Bheep and poultry — and the outer Hull, a prime article for 

 packing glass, crockery, bottles and fruit, and is believed will 

 prove valuable in making Coarse Paper, will be sold at a low 

 price in large quantities. 



This Rice is particularly recommended for whaling ships 

 and others going long voyages, as from being highly polished, 

 and free from dust and flour, and being put into their tight iron- 

 bound casks, it will be free from any insects, until exposed to 

 air. 



O 3 An Order Box is placed in Mr. Roger's Foreign Letter 

 Office in the area of the City Hall, and a sample of the Rice in 

 several Insurance offices. Stale street. JOHN PRINCE.
