BOSTOy.—SATURIJ.'lY, OCT. 10, IKi!'-'. 



We have omitttd giving, iu the present paper, any 

 further notice of the Brighton Cattle Show, becausf 

 we supposed it raijht be more acceptaljle to mnny of 

 our readers to include the official ri/ioi Is ufalllhv lii'.- 

 ferent Committees in the same niimhi r. We could not 

 o-irt them entire in the present number, and therefore 

 have deferred their commencement to our next, ivlueh 

 will include the whole. 



Ji]isla!:e Corrected. — In our last paper it was stated, 

 (p. KB, col. ], near the bottom) that " Jlr. S. Jaques, 

 of Leicester, received a premium of $50, for a breed of 

 long woolcd sheep, 6 ewes and 1 lamb." It should 

 have been Samuel Jaques, Esq. of Charlestown, who 

 was the owner of the animals. Tlie mistake was copi- 

 ed from the Daily Advertistr. 



FOPxElGN. 



London paper? to the 14lh Sept. have been received 

 at New York. Mr. Canning has been appointed Min-

The Greeks are gaining ground of the Turks. One 

 L)f the Turkish I'achas was defeated on the 20th July. 

 The account adds, that threatened by the Divan, he 

 assembled all his reserves, and led them to the theatre 

 5f his defeat ; but the Greeks again inlc_rcepted him, 

 ind on the first of August he lost as many lives as on 

 ;he iUth of July, and was himself taken prisoner. 



DOMESTIC. 



Gale of JVind. — The papers are replete with ac- 

 :ounts of a severe gale experienced in the Southern 

 •tales on the '27th and 28th ult. At Danville and 

 jynchburgli, in N'irginia, it commenced about half past 

 i o'clock in the morning of the 'JJJth. It was very se- 

 'erelyfelt in the destruction of buildings, orchards, k.c. 



Fifteen houses on Sullivan's Island, near Charleston, 

 vere blown down. Upwards of one hundred dwelling 

 lO-.is.s in the city of Charleston have been unroofed, 

 nd about one thousand have been rendered pervious 

 the rain, by the loss of tiles or slating. Among th- 

 lUblic builJiugs the City Hall has been considerably 

 tijured. Not t)ne place of public worship escaped, 

 "he theatre was unslated and otherwise injured. — 

 ibout 35 persons lost their lives in Charleston and on 

 'ullivan's Island. 



At Georgetown, S. C. we are informed the gale was 

 till more severe than at Charleston. The house of 

 )r. Meyers was swept off by the flood, and his whol 

 ousehold, fit'teen in number, including his wife, three 

 aughters and a son, were drowned. The dwellin^ 

 ouse of Mr. R. F. Witirers, a large new building, and 

 very out building were also destroyed, and fourteen 

 ut of eighteen persons lost their lives. Fifty lives 

 rerc lost at or near Georgetown,

 'here will be a Concert of Sacred Music in the even-

The imitation Leghorn Bonnet manufactured in Ver- 

 lont, and which was consiilered superior to any pre- 

 iously made in this country, was sold at Brighton, on 

 lie second day of the Show, for eighty dollars. 



Two winter squashes were raised in the garden of 

 Jeorge Olney. Psq. this season, of the following dimtn- 

 ons and weight : — First squash, length 39 inches : 

 reatest circumference 34 l-'2 ; smallest do. 27 ; lengl!. 

 f neck 2!1 ; average circumference of neck 29; weight 

 1 1-4 pounds. — Second squash, greatest circumferenci 

 1 1-2 inches ; smallest do. 21 ; length 37 ; length n' 

 eck 26 ; average size of neck 26 ; weight 53 1-4 lbs. 



A encumber was also raised in the same garden, 1" 

 |ich"s long, and 10 in-'hes in circumference at the 

 irgest part. — Providence Gasetlt. 



Munufiiclprji of IVatlhain. — 'i lie deficiency of rain] 

 during the present season has caused great injury to the 

 profits of a larg'- manufacturing establishment in this 

 vicinity. The fValtham Factor:/, which employs 1 e- 

 tweeu 7 and itOOO spindles, has been deprived of more 

 than hatj' its water power by th(- drought ; and this cir- 

 cumstance lia;^ matirially dimi^Ii^hed tlie dividend of 

 the Stockholders. On 'i ucsday last, the se)iii-aiaiuul 

 dividend was paid, amounting only to 12 1-2 per cent. ; 

 whilst, last season, the profits were 30 per cent, per 

 annum. 



Imitations of the Waltham Cotton have been sent 

 from }■ ugjand to (liis country, lor sale ; bat the Knglish 

 manufacturer cannot make an equal fabrick at the same 

 price. The imitation is thickened with Hour, to giie 

 it the appearance of firmness. 



Worcester Canal. — The surveys for the projected Ca- 

 nal, from A\"orcester to this place, have at last been com- 

 pleted in a manner very satisfactory to the Committee. 

 The descent from Worcester to this place is, as we late- 

 ly stated, a few feet more tliau 450. The ground was 

 bored every twelve rods, the wiiole distance. On the 

 route selected, no rock was found, within the depth 

 for excavation, excepting at three places, where it rose 

 aliove the surface. The gentleman employed as En- 

 gineer, in this survey, whose experience and judgment 

 may be fully relied on, estimates the expense of the 

 whole work, including sixty locks, at 5.123,000. He 

 thinks, that locks of six and eight feet each are prefer- 

 able to those of higher lift, as they may be constructed 

 at a smaller proportionable expense. 



These facts enable us to repeat, v/ith much confi- 

 dence, the opinion which we gave, some time ago, that 

 the stock of the Canal will be more profitable than 

 that of any description of publick debt, bank stock, or 

 even manufacturing establishments. — Frov. Journal. 



The beautiful river which runs through Ipswich, 

 and which is never dried up by the severest droughts, 

 is destined soon, we understand, to become the busy 

 seat of manufactures, a monied association from the cap- 

 ital having purchased a right upon the stream for that 

 purpose. Ipswich has long been spoken of as a future 

 manufacturing place. — Salem Gas. 



United Slates Law Journal .^ll was mentioned in the 

 Statesman, a few evenings since, that the second num- 

 ber of this work had made its appearance. We have 

 since had an opportunity of perusing its contents, and 

 do not hesitate to pronounce it a highly interesting and 

 valuable publication. In the compass of 300 compact 

 octavo pages, is presented a body of information on le- 

 gal subjects, and great national questions connected 

 with our Judicial institutions, which cannot be conven- 

 iently derived from other sources, and which cannot 

 fail to commend the work to a numerous class of read- 

 ers, particularly to gentlemen of the bar, legislators 

 and jurists. The second number is in all respects supe- 

 rior to the first ; and if the independence and spirit, the 

 talent and taste, evinced at the outset, shall continue, 

 the Law Journal must soon assume the character of a 

 standard work, and reflect credit upon the jurispru- 

 dence of our country. — A'. Y. Stalcsviart. 



Sickness in Pennsylvania. — Letters from Philadel- 

 phia give a deplorable picture of the ravages which 

 have been committed this season, in the vicinity of that 

 city, by bilious and intennittent fevers. One physician 

 at Moorstown, N. J. nine miles from Philadelphia, is 

 slated to have 120 patients now under his charge ; 

 and in many families, on the banks of the Delaware 

 and Schuylkill, not a sufficient number of healthy per- 

 sons remain to attend the sick. The Democratic Press 

 notices six deaths in Montgomery township, and re- 

 marks, that it seldom happens in a township of less 

 than a thousand, so many die within a few days of each 

 other ; and it is still less seldom, that six old neighbors 

 hould die, whose united ages should amount to 455.

 •■•hicli rosi s and fruit may !'•■ gathered from thorny

Minis nfJ\l'orlli Cuiulina. — We continue lo hear of 

 the discovery which has lately been made, of gold and 

 silver mines in Lincoln County, (N. C.) Some incred- 

 ulous persons seem to have attempt* d to turn the mat- 

 ter into ridicule; but the actual exhibition of the pre- 

 cious metal itself, lias silence d them ; and it is now ac- 

 knowlidg'd that a bar of silver, and a lump of gold, as 

 large as a man's thumb, have beoi extracted from part 

 of the ore, which is found in abundance on four or five 

 plantations. .A ridge, more than a quarter of a mile in 

 length, is supposed to be full of this valuable substance.
