INFANT SCHOOL.
Mr Editor,
I had heard some objections urged against the
usefulness of the Infant School Institution, and I
determined therefore, before 1 yielded it my entire
support, to visit tins Institution and judge for my
sefl". I accordingly attended on Monday last, and
I must candidly confess that every ejection van
ished beioie 1 liad been m the room lit teen min
utes. Although the room was crowded with vis
iters, so much so as seriously to incommode tiie
►School, and lu a measure to distract the attention
of the little scholars l'toin their exercises, yet the
degree of improvement which they exhibited,
greatly exceeded my expectations, and the interest
which they seemed to take in their lessons was
highly gratifying, and gave every promise of suc
cess The luuy who superintends the Institution
exhibits talents peculiarly utted lor her station, and
seems qualified to realize the most sanguine ex
pectations of the parents of the children commit
ted to her charge. The School, 1 understand, has
met with a success hardly expected by its wann
est friends. It opened but a few weeks since with
twenty-four children, and although at this season
many families are out of the city, yet fifly-one
have already been entered, and the number is re
gularly incieusing. Jf any prejudice should still
exist against the Institution, 1 would recommend
it to such as may be desirous of orming a correct
opinion, to go and judge lor themselves. G.
Charleston, August 9.
By the brig Mary , Capt. Kelly, arrived this
day from Havana, we received our file oflhe uJVo
ticioso Merc intiL” to the 22d inst. and price cur
rent of the Ist inst.
We learn from Capt. Kelly that nothing had
been heard from the Spanish fleet since it sailed
from Havana.
The Havanna market was very dull for alikinds
of American produce . —Cowrie r.
Pirates —We are indebted to our correspond
ent of the Gloucester Telegraph, for a slip, an
nouncing the arrival at that place, from Surinam,
of the Sarah Ann. The Dutch brig of war Fal*
con, had brought into Surinam, an hermaphrodite
brig, supposed to be a pirate, with a prize she had
taken, which from the name on the stern, appear
ed to be the Suffolk, formerly of Salem, but sold
about a year ago in South America. The Cap
tain of the hermaphrodite brig could give no ac
count of the crew of the Suffolk, but it was re
ported that one of the crew on examination, sta
ted the whole of them had been murdered, and the
negroes, 12 in number, who were on board the
Suffolk, made signs to denote that the throats of
the crew of the Suffolk had been cut. The Suf
folk had a valuable cargo,consisting oflndia goods,
linens, Ac, sapposed to be worth upwards of 10U,-
OtiO. We have had an account somewhat similar
before.
Distress at Barladots. —A meeting “ most re
spectably attended.” was held at Barbadoes, on
the 19th May, in which resolutions were passed,
representing that there was not food sufficient in
the Island to supply the inhabitants for more than
two months, and direeling a petition to be prepar
ed and directed to the President, “.praying hisho
nor, for the reasons lierein stated, to permit and
encourage by proclamation or otherwise, the im.
portation of the necessary supplies of flour, bread,
potatoes, rice, corn, corn meal, peas, beans and
grain of every description, from the United State 8
of America and other foreign ports.”
Washington City, August 4.
Case of T. Watkins. —This case, which,
because of the confessed culpability of the
defendant, many persons at a distance have
viewed as a very simple, and therefore ea
sily settled; but which, from the legal diffi
culties that many c.-ses apparently simple,
often present in the course of their adjudi
cation; from the delay consequent on a
strict adherence to the forms or the techni
calities of law, which can never be dispen
sed with or disregarded, without danger to
* personal rights and the impartial adminis
tration of justice; from the variety of legal
questions raised in the course of the prose
cution, which could not be prevented or
evaded by the Bench, but which must, the
right being claimed, be each aigued at great
length by the counsel, then decided by the
Court with aft the deliberation, research,
careful preparation, and accuracy due to
their owu characters, to the weight of the
responsibility, and the rights of the accused
on the one hand as well as those of the
piitdic on the other—this case, which, from
these impediments and the time necessarily
consumed in tho two tri ls which proved
abortive, has been so long pending, seems
now in a fair way to be soon finally dispo
sed of.
By the agreement of the Counsel on
both sides, on Friday last, it was arranged
that out of eighteen citizens who should be
summoned to attend the Court yesterday
morning, twelve should be empannelled
without challenge, to try the three pending
indictments against Dr. Watkins. Accor
dingly, the following were the twelve who
first appeared and answered, and were sworn
in a the Jury, viz:
Daniel Carrol!, James Harvey,
Peter Lenox, William Hewitt,
Lewis Carbery, Griffith Coombe,
David .English, Jphu I*. Ingle,
John Kurtz, F. A. Russel),
W. Smoot, E. Gilman.
To this jury, as was agreed, all three of
the pending cases were submitted for trial,
viz: the 300 and tile 750 dollar case of
Mr. Paulding (in which uew trials had been
granted) and the 2000 dollar case of Mr.
Hums, and the indictment in each case,
being read to the jury, the trial proceeded.
The examination us witnesses was comple
ted at 3 o’clock, and the Court adjourned.

Hail Storm. - A gentleman yesterday
brought to our office a basket full of hail
M ines, which foil in Newton on Thursday
some of which were more than two inches
jn length, arid of near the same width, and’
jc.cii jl thickness. He informed us that
when they first fell, there were many much
larger, and that he measured one 4} inches
in length, and that some were 7 ounces in
weight. They fell with such force that
when on hard ground they were broken in
pieces. All the glass on the windward side
of buildings for au extent of two miles in
width was broken. Much injury was done
to fruit trees, corn, and garden vegetables
many of which were entirely destroyed.—
In the Eliot Factory at Newton* Upper
Falls, witn the shops in the Factory yard,
800 lights of glass were broken, and nearly
as much more in the tenements belonging
to tho Factory. The buildings of the New
ton Factories, and other buildings jn the
village, suffered in the same proportion.-
In the Rev. Mr. Grafton’s meeting house
500 lights of glass were broken. The
stones fell with such force on the roof of
the counting room of the factory as to
break the slates, so as to make it difficult
to repair it Shingles in some instances
were broken, and the buildings much bruis
ed. Wbile the hail was falling, the rain
fell in torrents, accompanied with heavy
thunder. A tree was struck with lightning
on Newton Common, and a barn was burnt
in Watertown. A cow was killed by light
ning in Newton.
The shower in this town, on Thursday,
was more viulent than we have had for ma
ny years. Since January, 18J&, the time
wnen the meteorological journal was begun,
which Iras been published weekly in this
paper, llmre has been none to compaie with
it. Thai which has come the nearest to
it was in July, 1818, when 2 30 inenes of
rain fell in a single shower in the night.
We had also a second shower Thursday
evening, which lasted more thuu an hour,
during which the rain fell to the depth of
1,52 inches; which added to what fell in
tlie afternoon, made 4,33 inches, and all in
the space of little more than 4 hours
This is more than has fallen before at this
plare in any one week siuce January 1818.
It began to rain again yesterday morning,
and continued very mildly for about three
horns. The amount which then fell was
only 0,12 inches
At a distance of about twenty miles
south towards Bridgewater and Tauutou,
there was no raid whatever, on Thursday
Thursday night.
Tl le Bulletin of yesterday contains the
following additional particulars;
A coachman in the employ of Dr. Cod
man of this city was instantly killed by the
ligtning, at Nahaut. His name we hve
uot lean t
A stable at Cambridge was set on fire,
hut the flumes extinguished without much
dain tge.
A ship on the stocks at Charlestown was
struck, but not materially damaged.

Disappointment . —Ye-sieruay being the
day fixed on for the execution of John Bird
sell, who was convicted, at thu last term of
the Superior Dourt in this city, ofthe min
der of his wife, on the sth of March last,
about y o clock the people from the coun
try, for many miles round, b’£an to assem
ble and take possession of the ground in the
neighborhood of the gallows, which ‘vas
erected on one of the borders of the city;
and although not an Editor iu the city (so
far as our Knowledge extends) had given any
intimation to the public since the trial,
Which took place in June, yet the streets
leading to the place of execution were
tinonged by our own citizens, and by those
who came from the opposite side of the
River; the large ferry boats, which were
constantly plying, bringing them over by
hundreds, uu*i! neat J 2 o’clock, when you
might have fired chain shot in our princi
pal streets without injuring* any one so
completely were they deserted The great
excitment on the occasion, is no other wav
to be accounted for than from the novelty;
there never having been but one execution
in this county, and that a negro some years
ago.
A report had been currrent in the city
for several days, that Birdsell would either
be pardoned or have lits punishment com
muted; and it whs known to a number of
our citizens that a proposition hid been
made to him the day before, that if be would
sign and accept the conditions, which were
that he should he put into “solitary con
finement in the Penitentiary during his na
tural life,” a purdon would be granted him*
This he positively refused, and was accor
dingly brought out for execution yesterday,
between the hours of 12 and 1 o’clock,
guarded by a company of dragoons fiom
the country, and a detachment of city vo
lunteers.
He appeared feeble and dejected, and a
bout filteen minutes he ascended the plat
form, lie altered his mind and acceeded to
the terms of life offered him, by signing the
conditions. He was immediately remand
ed to prison, and the crowd dispersed ; al
though not until some of them had, in a ve
ry audible manner, expressed iher disappro
bation of bis escape from an ignominious
death. It should bo recollected that the
grounds on which intercession had been
made for him, and which resulted as we
have already stated, weie, that he was in
sane, and consequently an unfit subject for
the tigor of the law to be executed upon.
Straw Paper. —A coriespondent of the
Boston Palladium mentions having received
a sample of paper made fiom straw , from a
manufactory at Burlington, Vt The paper
is said to be of good quality. It is manu
factured in considerable quantities at Bur
lington; and it is understood, can be affor
ded at half the cost of the common paper
made from rags. VVe have heretofore no
ticed that paper has been manufactured from
the sine material by Mi. Shryock, an en
terprising paper manufacturer of Chambers
burg, Pa. The specimens afforded from that
quarter have also been represented as of fa
vorable promise ; it being sflpposed supe
rior to paper made from the usual material,
for many of the purposes for the ar
ticle is used. It is alleged to be stronger
than the common paper, and not liable to
injury from moisture ; circumstances which
would make the rougher qualities of it val
uable as wrapping paper generally, and es
pecially so as the envtdope of packages sent
by mail. We shall be glad to hear that fur
ther experiments attest the value of the im
provement, and confirm what has been said
on the subject. — Balt. Pat.
The following extraotdtnaiy story is from
the Troy Sentinel;
1 Specie. —■ A Mr. Hand died a short time
since at a great age, hi Stephentown, in
this county. He possessed a good farm,
had always been known as a careful, saving
man. and was supposed to have left at his
death a snug little estate. He left a Will,
however, and upon opening that, it was
discovered that his farm was but a small
item of his property. In the house in
which he had dwelt for a great many years,
there was one room which he had nvver
permitted any body to enter, but himself*
it was on the ground floor, and in his Will
he gave directions to go into the room,
open a trap door, and thereunder, in small
tubs, and kegs, and other vessels, would be
found a treasure ofspeeie* The investi
gation being made, the money was indeed
found, to the amount of about $40,000, in
dollars, half dollars, quarters, crowns, &,c.
There was another clause iu the Will
which staged that in one of the vessels men
tioned, was a phial containing a written
scroll giving information where another and
still larger deposit of specie had b on made;
but alas! the treacherous ink had disappea
red, deserted its post, or rather abandoned
Us lines and the paper told not a word of
the precious secret with which it had been
charged VVhut vigils will covetousness
keep till this otner deposit is found—what
digging, and searching there-will be till
this Kidd’s money shall be forthcoming;!
There is no room to doubt the truth of
the story, as we are told by several of our
citizens, some of whom are pt ssona!ly cog
nizant to the (act.
PROM BUENOS AYRES.
By the brig Soto, Capt. Ricketson, Bue
nos Ayres papers are received at N. York
to the 10th June, inclusive.
Tho c.ty still held out against the inva
ders, Rosas not choosing to hazard a vio
lent entrance, hut endeavoring to compel
i< to surrender by means of siege The ci
ty was in much want of provisions, and the
government had passed a decree, under date
ol June 3*, authorising the meats which
might be introduced from any ot the ports
of the Banda Oriental to be sold freely,
without being subject to fixed prices
On the 3d June a decree was by
thr Government, revoking a decree of the
22 i May, which declared the city and its
environs to be tn asamblea —under martial
law. The reason assigned was, that the
causes which induced the former decree,

Ajfa rs with the French Fleet.— A sup
plorr.. *x. *l. British I'aukei tuillilitis the
correspondence between the Argentine
Government mid Viscount Vinancourt,
Commander of the French squadron in the
neighborhood of Buenos Ayres, occasioned
by the French commander having, on the
night of May 21st forcibly taken possesion
of the B. A. squadron in the roads, consist
ing of the brigs General Rondeau and Cac
ique, the schrs* Rio Bamba and “lltli June”
—and having at the same time burned the
srhoouer biig Argentina. On the 26th of
May, it was agreed that the vossels should
be restored, on the following conditions;—
1. That Viscount Vinancourt shall de
liver up the cnpiured vessels, and place
them at the d'sposal of the Government of
Buenos Ayres, with all their appurtenances,
arms, and crews.
2. That the Government shall not qjblige
by force, any Frenchman resident in this
enpit I to do military duty, leaving those
who are now enrolled in the companies of
militia nt full liberty to continue in or leave
tlie service.
3. Thai the insults which the Viscount
supposes to have been offered to the French
flag, and the indemnities which he thinks to
be due to the Frenchmen injured by the
measures of the Govei nmcnl, shall be points
to be settled betwr eu the two Governments.
These provisions, after some delay and
difficulty were finally complied with, and
toe vessel delivered up
Buenos Ayjrcs , June 9. —The schr-off war

wounded.
The enemy has deprived the San Martin

New Expedition to Santa Fe. —lt ap
peals that Ge> - Lava lie was endeavoring
to cause a diveision from the Buenos Avrean
capital by carrying the war into the ene
my’s territory. The British Packet ot May
23d, says—
The expedition to Santa Fe under the
command of Col. Isaac Thompson, has
sailed. The periodicals of Buenos Ay res
rate the force at GOO men of all arms. It
may be probably 400 effective men, a num
ber quite sufficient for the put poses intend
ed, if the inhabitants ofthe Province of
Santa Fe remain neutral, which the govern
ment doubtless lias reason to expect will
be tlie case, else from the nature of the
country it will have to encounter many dif
ficulties ; at any rate it will be tho touch
stone of their attachment to Governor Lo
pez and the system he upholds, and must
have a powerful effect up>u the war.
The present war is a wound “too tender
e’en fer tenderness to touch,’’ afflicting to
every patriotic mind. Few will, however,
withhold the meed of praise for the despatch,
secrecy, and tact - evinced in the manage
ment of tlie late expeditions seut from hence.

From Gibraltar. —We are indebted to
Mr. Tojjifl of Merchant s Hall for a loan :
of tiie Gibraltar Chronicle to June 10, re- j
ceived by the brig Gazelle at tins port. j
The oily item in the shape of news which ;
they aipear to contain, is in the following ;
par lyrtph.
In onscquence of tiie failure of the nc
gocialiiHts which, for some time past, had
been cpaying on between the Moorish Gov
erimiett and the Austrian Commissioners
montiored in the Chronicle of the 30ib of’
March last, wi'h a view to the adjustment’
of the differences that had ariseo from the ;
detentioa of an. Austrian vessel bv Moorish j
cruisers; Baton Baudiera, who had pro-!
ceeded to the coast of Larache with the
two corvettes and the brig which compose j
the Austrian squadron lauded on the 3d 1
inst. at noon, 135 of his men on the neck j
of land which separates that town from the
sea, and is commanded by the cannon of
the fort. The detachment moved, without
loss of time,to wards a spot where two Mo
roqueen brigs of wai were inooreo, burned
one to ille water’s edge, and left the other
full of rocket holes. The object of the
landing being thus accomplished, the de
tachment withdrew in the best oiJer, al
though closely pressed upon by Arabs who
bad come down iu great numbers. During
the three hours that this coup-de-mai \ took
up, the sea had risen considerably ; and the
re-embarkation of the Austrians being ren
dered more difficult by this circumstance,
they lost 22 men. The fire of one of their
ships destroyed one of the enemy’s batte
ries, and even did some damage to . the
town, but none was sustained by the squad
ron, although exposed the whole time to
that of all the camion of the fort.
Power of Intellect. An octogenaijan
nobleman, having invited Lord * Shaftsbury
and another friend to dine with him, took
occasion, immediately on the removal of
the doth, to say, that his object in asking
them to dine, was that he might obtain their
opinion as to the propriety of marrying his
house-keeper. ‘Oh ! my Lord,’ said L’d
Shaftsbury, “ you may as well not keep us
in suspense, we see you are uiariiod ; pray
present us to her Ladyship.’’ “ Well,” re
plied the noble host “I cm indeed marri
ed ; hat I wished before informing you us it
to hear your opinion. ’ On retiring, L<ad
Shaftsbury was asked by his companion,
how lie could jiavo divined as he did that
their entertainer was married ; “ because,’’
was the sagacious reply, ** no man vy 0 had
not already committed such a folly, would
have asked advice concerning it.” Tiie
second illustration was from the memoirs of
Cardinal de Ketz, and related to the famous
Turenneand his great compeer, Conde,
then iu tlie Spanish armies in the face of
each oiher-*-the Spanish strongly entrench
ed. Oil a given day, Turenne gave out to
his council of officers, tint on the next day
at one o'clock, hp would attack the Spanish
camp at a given point, which was the stron
gest of the line. An officer expressing his
surprise at the hour and point of attack de
signated, was thus answered by Turenne.
“ Jt is true, another part of tiie camp is wea
ker, but the command of that point is cod
fided to Conde, who never sleeps, whereas
the strongest point is commanded by the
Spanish General, who wilt, at the hour na
med, be taking his nap. When our attack
is made, an officer will be despatched to a*
rouse him. He lelying on the strength of
his position, will not believe the account,
or think it only a feigned attack, and will
send for further information ; by tiie time
that reaches him, we shall have carried the
defences.” The event fulfilled, *n eve.-y
particular, this calculation of a piaster mind.
The last illustration was from our own his
tory, and from one of its great names, Judge
Chase. This eminent individual presiding
in Baltimore, ul a trial of some rioters—at
the close ofthe proceedings, in a very crow
ded court, directed the constables to con
vey the prisoners to jail. The constables,
apalled by the aspect of the assembled mul
titude, after seme hesitation told the Judge
that it was more than their lives were worth
to execute his order Judge Chase imme
diately sprang from the bench, and told the
Clerk to cuter Samuel Chase as constable,
and approaching the prisoners, bade them
follow him-—ordering the crowd to make
way for their constable—and conducted
them without opposition or difficulty, thro’
tiie mass of astonished citizens, to their
place of confinement. In all these cases,
superiority and success were founded upon
the close observation and study of the hu
man mind, and of the causes which affect
end control its operations.

they had never known a Jew intemperate in
the use of spiritn >us liquors.
