FOREIGN. 



'here have been no arrivals from Europe since our 

 and there is but little to be gleaned from Euro- 

 n papers worth recording, which is no't altogether 

 of date. The King of Spain has been happily de- 

 red before the Cortes, of a long patriotic speech, 

 r'iwch, il siiutrily is a prominent feature we^ery 

 :li uiistake the matter. In this speech the " French 

 iders"are execrated, most cordially, as " hypocrites, 

 lards" and other hard things, and said to place 

 e reliance on " corrupting gold than their own val- 

 ' The Coiles are eulogized in due proportion to 

 anathema bestowed on the French — But the whole 

 it worth a potatoe top and is therefore omitted. — 

 have likewise some French and Spanish bulletins 

 ch arc as fairly at war with cacli other as their au- 

 ■s, a real matter of fact is not to be had for a pre- 

 •n a;iicjiig such dealers in tough stories. We must 

 t for tio>^' to teach us what the mad caps and hair 

 us of Kurope are about, and t'ess our stars that we 

 e nothing to do with titcm nor their quarrels.

 , the circumference of which was 3 feet 2 inches, 

 J;thofroot 2 feet 3 inches, and weighed 42 and a 

 If pounds. Weighed and measured by Rev. Parker 

 J and Maj. Daniel Hilton.— .V. H. Pal. 



swarm of Bees, taken up by Richard Bradley, 



in this town last week, yielded in weight of hon- 



land comb, one hundred and sixty-five pounds. — ib. 



Maine Canal. — A Canal is about to be opened in 

 ine, and will be completed in June next, connecting 

 ' waters of Pushaw Lake with Penobscot River, by 

 iting with the Kenduskeag. six miles above its con- 

 ence with the Penobscot, at Bangor, affording several 

 luable mill privileges, and through which the town 

 Bangor will receive an immense quantity of lumber 

 d other property, which heretofore, in consequence 

 the difficulty of getting it to market, has been of lit- 

 valne. 



Culture of the Grape. — 4 vineyard of A. Eichelber- 

 r, in York, Penn. contains 10 acres, covered with 

 i°s of Lisbon, white, and other grapes. He will 

 ike 40 barrels of wine this season, and he intends to 

 tend his vineyard to 20 acres next year- 

 Two persons suffocated in a irell. — At Barre, Vt. a 

 d d scended into a deep well for the purpose of 

 ' 1,7 up a drill, hut after descending to the bottom 

 •thi-ig c>uM hr heard from him. Mr. » maziah Peck, 

 old gcatleaiaa aged 80 years, descended iu hopes to 



save the lad, but piirished in the attempt. After e 

 bodies wore taken from the well alighted candle wa 

 let down, but would not burn withui a considerable 

 distance of the bottom. 



.I'^ricullaral Diplomas. — An atiyertisenient lately 

 handed in, induced us to look at a copj' of an engrav 

 ing by .Mr. Balch, formerly of Albany, for the Diplo 

 mas of Agricultural Societies. The design and !he ex- 

 ecution are very beautiful, and we presume that when 

 seen, copies will be readily purchased by the proper 

 agents of these institutions throughout the State.

Child burnt to death.— Lstil Tuesday afternoon, a 

 child of five years old, daughter of Mr. .loseph Miller. 

 of P^ast Hartford was left for a minute or two near a 

 fire which caught her clothes, and she was burned to 

 death. We do not mention this to gratify that taste 

 for the horrid which is so common among newspaper 

 readers, for it is worse than useless to tell every tale of 

 sutferiug, when no practical good can result from it, 

 but whenever an accident occurs to which others, if 

 not cautioned are liable — such occurrences should be 

 stated. The clothes of the child were of cotton, and 

 we all know how easily such stuffs burn. Woollen is 

 as cheap and as durable — and now as the season ap- 

 proaches when fire is needed, let us suggest to those 

 who have children to clothe, that it would be advisa- 

 ble to dress them in woollen. — Ibid. 



A late arrival at Norfolk from Thompson's Island 

 brings melancholy news from that quarter. Captain 

 Watson, Lieutenants Hammersly and Carter, Sailing 

 Master Bainbridge, Midshipmen Benbridge and Tay- 

 lor, Chaplain Adams of New Hampshire ; and about 

 forty seamen have fallen victims to fever. Aboul sixty 

 other cases are said to be existing. Commodore Porter 

 was much better. 



A letter from Glbralter, dated September 3d, states, 

 that the French had been repulsed at Tari/fa, with the 

 loss, it was reported, of 800 men. The writer adds, 



Malaga is in a dreadful state at present ; the com- 

 mander has made a requisition of 100,000 dollars of the 

 merchants — several who refused to pay, have been sent 

 lo prison, amnngr ihem iho Imeri^an Consul, and Seve- 

 ral have been shot, 'i'he English frigate Tribune 19 lu 

 proceed from here to bring the English merchants from 

 that place." — Boston Gazette. 



Accounts from St. Louis state, that some of the 

 Scotch and Swiss emigrants planted by Lord Selkirk on 

 the Red River of Hudson's Bay, are making their way 

 to the United States, finding the severe climate of that 

 latitude unbearable. 



By way of St. Louis we learn, also, from St. Antho- 

 ny, that an engagement had recently taken place be- 

 tween the Sac and Sioux Indians, in which the former 

 had 7 killed and 12 or 15 wounded, and the flatter, 11 

 killed and 12 wounded. — Jbid. 



Burlington, Vt. Oct. 3. — Passed this place on Fri- 

 day last, the Canal Boat Gleaner, Capt. Burton, on her 

 return to St. Albans from New York city. The Canal 

 Boat Vermont, Capt. Lyon, arrived here on Wednes- 

 day last from Troy. Both boats were richly laden with 

 merchandise. — Ibid. 



The Secretary of the Navy has directed a special 

 mission to be sent to Key West (Thompson's Island) for 

 the purpose of examining into the causes of the disease 

 existing there ; with authority to discontinue the naval 

 station there, should it be found necessary. Commo- 

 dore Rodgers has volunteered his services for the occa- 

 sion, and is to have with him four of the oldest naval 

 surgeons- U is expected they will begone four or five 

 weeks. 



Snotr. — There was a considerable fall of snow at an^ 

 around Belt3.5t, Maine., on the night of the 29th ul I 

 In some of the back towns it fell to the depth of fivi 

 inches. 



Agricultural noTelly. — Some, blossoms from a -r.-i 

 tree were yesterday shown us, which we undersU'"' 

 bore fruit a we';ii since, and is now in full ' loi> n 

 Sone of the fruit is yet rcmniiiing on the tree, ad p' - 

 sents a striking contrast to the numerous blossoms bv 



which it IS surrounded. 'I he pear is of French origin, 

 called tc Hon-Clurtnn. A circumstance of this sort is 

 sup( rstitiously regarded as the precursor of the death 

 of the tree the following year ; but the tree referred to, 

 was, we are told, visited by a similar occurrence about 

 ten years ago. — Ccntincl. 



ALDERNEY BULL FOR SALE. 



rjlIIE very fine full blood ALDERNEY BULL, 

 JL which was presented to the Massachusetts So- 

 ciety for promoting Agriculture by John Hubbard, 

 Esq. This breed is considered in England, as superior 

 lor the richness of their milk, making considerable 

 more butter from the same quantity of milk, than any 

 other breed. He is now two years and three months 

 old, is in fine health, and a gentle animal, and may be 

 seen at the farm of John Prince, Esq. Jamaica Plain, 

 Roxbury. For terms of sale, which will be very liber-
