the

 the couslructiori of Turnpike Roads from Taunton to 

 I'rovuience, and from Taunton to New-Bedlord. The 

 expediency ot calling a meeting in Taunton o*" the 

 fiiends of these pre j- cts is suggested by the public- 

 spirited writer, who is ot" opinion that '^ acts for the 

 incorporation of both turnpike companies might be 

 passed at the next session of the Legislatnre in June, 

 the routes might be surveyed, the contracts made, 

 and the v/ork commenced on both before tlie 4th of July.

Fire in Providtnce. — On the 23d inst. at half past" 

 11 o'clock P. iW. a very destructive fire broke out in i 

 Providence near the Universalist Chapel. It originat- 

 ed in a work-shop occupied by Mr. RhodisG. Allen,' 

 cabinet maker, consumed that building with a nuuiber ' 

 of others, including the Chapel above mentioned. A 

 wide spread conflagration was apprehended, as the fire 

 occurred in .a very com[>act and (.ombustible part ofthe j 

 toA-n, anil the wind was fresh. But by the blessing of 

 Providence, and the exertions of the citizens the prog- 

 ress of the combustion was arrested with less damage 

 than was anticipated, though considerable was sufl'er- 

 ed. 



The Hessian Flij. — This destructive insect has made 



its appearance in the vicinity of Kaston, in Maryland, 



very much to the alarm of the farmers ; whole fields 



are said to have been laid waste, especially where the

' the south.

 connecting the Blackstoue with Chai les River, may be

 examination ot the probable route of the Canal, has en 

 tirely satisfied the writer's mind, that the project is fea- 

 sible, beveral interesting statements are given, from i

\ company in London has contracted with the gov- 

 ernment of GuKtimala, to cut a canal from the Pacific 

 to the Atlantic, at the south side of lake Nicaragua. — 

 It is to be 12 or 14 miles in length, and navigable for 

 ships of great burthen. The English are to receive two 

 thirds ofthe tolls, and to have the exclusive navigation 

 ofthe -'^an Juan river and the lake, for forty years. — 

 The remainder of the tolls to be devoted by the govern- 

 ment to paying the'expense of the undertaking.

 whole navy of the Union, that can be floated down the Hessert knives and forks, witjj their corresponding car- 

 ving knives and forks, and two steels, two pen knives, 

 two pair of razors, and a pair of scissors; one of the 

 penknives has a tortoise shell handle, all the other 

 articles have pearl handles, and are most exquisitely 

 finished. It may give some idea of the minuteness of 

 the work to state, that the largest knives weighs 

 grains each, the dessert knives 3 grains ; the scissors 

 not quite /u;o-/f?i(Aj of a grain ; and the weight of all 

 the pieces together is less than ten pwts. Mr. Pooly is 

 a very young ntan, and worked as a journeyman cutler
