Recent falls of snow have impeded the travelling, and 

 in many cases, detained the mails beyond their usual 

 time. The stock of snow now on hand, is very large 

 for the season, accompanied with an atmosphere favora- 

 ble to its remaining. 



We learn that the new bridge across White River, at 

 Royaltown, gave way, a few days since, under the im- 

 mense weight of snow upon it. — Woodstock Vt. Courier. 



Steam Void Disaster. — The steam-boat Missourian, 

 while navigating the Mississippi, on the 4th ult. about 

 25 miles below Natchez, collapsed one of her flues, by 

 which accident fifteen persons were badly scalded; sev- 

 eral of which have since died. 



Jin Incident worth recording. We yesterday saw at 

 one of the banks in State-street, a parcel of American 

 gold coin, worth nearly a thousand dollars, which had 

 been sent in from a country bank. So large an amount 

 of American gold is an unusual collection in any bank, 

 and could not, probably, be found in another. The his- 

 tory of this lot, as it is a little singular, is worth record- 

 ing. It belonged to a man in the county of Berkshire, 

 in this State, who had been hoarding it up since ltflO, a 

 period of twenty-four years, because he had not suffi- 

 cient confidence in banks and bank securities, to invest 

 his gains in a manner to give him interest. The conse- 

 quence is that he has lost, in interest, much more than 

 the amount of his principal ; and when he wanted to pay 

 for his farm, he was obliged to sell to a bank at about 

 one per cent, advance, what has been lying like dead 

 stock upon his hands for years, and might, by a proper 

 investment, have brought him six per cent, a year. Some 

 of the pieces were of the date of 1795, and few, if any, 

 of later date than 1812. — Boston Courier. 



A lemon fell from the tree on which it had been grow- 

 ing two years, in Newark, N. J. on Thursday last, which 

 measured 12 1-2 inches one way, and 9 1-2 another, and 

 weighed ten ounces. 



We have the most flattering accounts of the Gold Re- 

 gion of Alabama. The Georgia Democrat states, that it 

 " averages forty miles in width and the gold is said to 

 of the fineness af twenty three and a half carats."

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 m operation at South Boston, near (lie Free 

 Bridge. It is well known that rice in its rough state, or will) 

 its 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 — he therefore 

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

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

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

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

 will be put in ?ood casks of usual siz«, for export ; also in bar- 

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

 be returned ;) also ground into tine Flour in quarter barrels- 

 it will be delivered in any part of the city, for a reason ,11. 

 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. 

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

 parking glass, crockery, bottles an I fruit, and is believe I will 

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

 price in large quantities. 



This Rice is particularly recommended for whaling ship, 

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

 and free from dust and flour, and being put into their light iron 

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

 air. 



O 3 An Order Box is placed in Mr, Roger'* Foreign Letter 

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

 the several Insurance offices, Stale sir. JOHN PRINCE.
