 should seem, by the last accounts from Washing 

 that there is but little likelihood that the New Ta 

 3ill will become a law during the present session 

 te No. of the National Intelligencer observes that 

 ilows inflicted on the Tariff Bill in the Senate have 

 followed up by a third, by which the prospective 

 of 5 1-2 on Cotton Bagging is stricken out. We 

 rstand, however, that the bill is not entirely des- 

 ■d of. It is supposed as a possible event, that in 

 of the duties on iron and hemp, which have been 

 issively striken out, a lower rate of duty on each 

 ese articles may find favor with the Senate. We 

 ss, however, that we see little prospect, at present, 

 at bill becoming a law, at this session, in any 



e. 



eet Cause. — The sum of $639,29 has been re- 

 d in New York, in aid of the Greek Cause, and 

 iirded to England. Other donations of money, 



says the New York Mercantile Advertiser, have been 

 advised of. The donations collected of swords, pis- 

 tols, and munitions are to be forwarded to Leghorn. 



Slave Trade. — A treaty concluded between the Com- 

 missioners of the United States and Great Britain, giv- 

 ing a mutual right of search to (he commissioned ves- 

 sels of each nation in the case of vessels being engag- 

 ed in the slave trade has been received at Washington, 

 and will soon be Laid before the Senate. 



Female Seminary. — Mr. Benjamin Farnsworlh pro- 

 poses to establish a Seminary in Worcester, Mass. for 

 the instruction of Young Ladies only, and has engag- 

 ed the assistance of Miss C. Sprague, a lady of distin- 

 guished literary attainments. 



ROXBURY, APRIL 30, 1824. 



The present season is not only one of the earliest, 

 but it is also one of the most forward we have known. 

 The winter was mild beyond all recollection — and this 

 character extended to Europe. We have letters from 

 England stating that they have had no winter. Flow- 

 ers were in blow, thro' every month in the year. 



I shall reserve for a few days a comparative account 

 of the season, but at present, I would state, that 

 asparagus was cut from eight to fifteen days earlier 

 than usual, on the same beds ; the maple flowered 

 eight days earlier than its common period ; the goos- 

 berry six days earlier; and all other plants in propor- 

 tion. The grass is uncommonly forward, and very well 

 set. The winter grain did not suffer in this vicinity, 

 and is at least six inches high and very vigorous. Gen- 

 erally speaking, every plant and tree gives promise of 

 unusual vigor. But late frosts and cold storms often 

 blast these early hopes, and we shall reserve till the last 

 of next month, a full comparison of this season with the 

 past. — Boston Daily Jldv. 



Caution to Stage Drivers. — A verdict of $500 has 

 been recently obtained for injuries received by the 

 upsetting of a Stage. The action was brought against 

 Joseph Hunt, and others, proprietors of a line of stages 

 between New York and Albany. Rev. Ira Ingraham, 

 the prosecutor, was seriously injured, having his collar 

 bone fractured, and otherwise severely bruised. It was 

 clearly proved the accident was owing to the careless- 

 ness of the driver.
