— mmm m >.4? ft * ‘ .7 it *A)’.V '*WBP > ■ From the Portland Gazette. A highly respectable correspondent at the Eastward ha* favoured a* with the fol lowing interesting account of the melan choly event at Woolwich: DISTRESSING EVENT. During a violent Storm on Monday evening the 7th inst* Mr. William Davis, of Woolwich, and Mr. David Robinson of Rath, ship-carpenters, where instantly killed by lightning at Woolwich. Da vis was 28 years old, and has lelta wife and two children. Robinson was 24 years of age, and was unmarried. They were in separate beds, each with another man, in the house of David Gil more, esq. Tbe workmen, who were en gaged iri building two vessels in the neighbourhood, boarded in the same house and there were £3 persons in it at the time Davis and Robinson slept in separate I chambers in the garret, with their heads towards the chimney, and not tfvo feet from it. Thcie were two other beds in each chamber, and 2 persons in ea ,- h bed making in the whole 12 peisons in the two garret chambers. The lightning first. struck the chimney throwing offabout 50 bricks, and Irum it spread in different directions following the nrume, or passing from placebo place as nttracted by various articles, composed b <>l iron, brass, Ac. till the house seemed li terally filled. There are marks of its vio- v, leave in eight different rooms, anil in five closets, and some of litem aie considerably injured. From tbe chimney on the oast Vru tide, the fluid took the middle rafter, and pastil Its whole length, tearing out the wood three inches wide, and 1 1-2 deep,,at oue end. and so splitting it at tl other. A partoftlie fluid, on leaving the ratter, passed to the outside of the house, tearing <>tf the boards and clap-buards, in a body, about thiee feet wide ant' 8 fret long, leaving the boards hanging by the riailsat one end, and the other end scpaia- ted from the Irame about one foot, .mo ther jjfurtinn of the fluid passed down a post into the aiietien, where were a num ber ol persons, and there separated. A part of it was attracted hy a row uf'pew ter plates, standing on a shelf at the north side of the room. It passed luem leaving a melted spot on such plate, am! throwing every thing from that ami tho neighboring ' shelves to the floor. From the slielves it passed to the ash-hole, at the side -of the fire place, and thence to the cellar, leav ing a hole in the bricks about tin?size of a common bullet. A part of the fluid, was ► aftracled to the west side iff toe room, by two muskets, which it passed, splitting the stock of'one,and m -Iting, in a smail de gree, the mounting of the oil.or. There were 2 or 3 persons sitting under the guns, and one, who was very near, was knocked down. Two other persons were thrown to the floor, one from a bench, ai*l the ether from a chest on which tney were ly ing. - By that portion of the lightning, which lclt the chimney on its west side, the two. persous were kilted. . I. ran dun n the two nearest rafters, to which trie partitions of the two garret chan.b vs were secured.— From th.it part which passed down tiie raf ter south oi the chimney, a portion was at tracted by a nail in a perpendicular plank, and passed down till it came within three inches of Davis’ heart. It then passed through the plasteiing, and instantly kill ed h*iin. The man in bed with him, was very little injured,aud the oilier lour, who Were in the same chamber were unhurt. EiUiei Irani this pint of the gat retur from the raltrr, the lightning passed to tin south-west chamber, where were in two beds a man and his wife and six small children. Heie apportion of the fluid was attracted hy acoppei lamp, ori which was hanging a cotton bonnet, which was iu- - stoutly in a blaze, vmf was the or.ly thing set on fire in tiie thnuse. Another portion of me fluid took tbe looking glass, win had iron about it, and broke it in pieces near the bid in which four children were asleep./ No person was hurt in this ruoin It then pasted dou a to the lower rooir, broke another looking glass, and started ofl' tbe ceiling of the room, two tcet wide, and eight or tea leet long. Tbe part of the fluid, which ran down file ralier north of the chimney, was turn •d, into the north garret, by the second rib, below the chimney, directly against tiie head of Robinson, and he also was in stautly killed. From his body, it passed to the foot bar of the bedstead, near, nr Upon which his feet lay, and thonje to the nearest toot post, which was considerably shivered. Toe man in bid with Inui was much injured, but is r.ci'Vvtjrg. Tne other four persons in this clumber were Knhu.t From tne foot post of. Robins n’s bod, Oie lightning pass-d to the eve, of me bouse, and Ihence down between the front windows of the north-west chamber, being attracted by tlnMi-ri-w.* i.fthe looking-glass. Under the giass.wa$ .viable.at which Mis. Giliao-e, an elo'ci'i} lady, was leadirg u a large lol.o bib.v. One cover of the bi- blc lav on the table, i nd the other, with more than half the leaves resting against tiie wall Mrs. G. sat with her right std. near the window, and her right arm rest ing on that part of the table which lay on the table. On the table, near her left hand, was a large brass candlestick. A portion of the fluid loll *we luokmg-gluss ■cr*w, in the directum ol Mrs. O’s body, and passing through the bitne, it. an ob lique direction, burnt olT one leal, scorched two others as fvr as the U. ck.— It then passed arross the table within a few inches of her body to tbe brass can dlestick,and threw it across the room.— She had a large key ill her pocket, and ber flesh was burnt against which it lay. Uejyigbt hand was consideiably burnt, and a ring of fine gold which was on her into the lower rokm uhder it, being direct ed by a large naif?which extended nearly thro’ the plastering. It was then attracted by the brass urns, on tbe top of the clock, which was near, having passed from one to another, it took off the pedestal of the last urn, and wentdowo the out side of tbe cluck. Theaboveaccount,suggestsacaution as to the manner of placing beds They nev er should be set'against a chimney; aad itt a tnunder storm it would be well to have them removed a foot or two from the cealing. Feathers, it is w€tl known, are a non-conductor of electric fluid. A per son in a leather b- d, in a common room, a little removed from the cealing, would, iu ordinary cases, be totally safe, even it the liohtuirig should enter the room. He should, however, nut only avoid touching any part of the beadstead, but should be as far from it as is convenient. It has been asserted, bath in European and American papers, that persons, appar ently killed by lightning, have been restor ed. by d ishing cold water in tumblers fall, on the face and other parts of the body, but whether this asset tion is true, I am not able to say. Any person, possessing well authenticated accounts ol such restorations,, would do well to cause them to be repub lished in our public papers. Attempts t.. i estorif persons apparently killed by light ning, are believed tube Very ra<e;out this is certainly inuclito be regretted,if there is in such cases any prospect ol reauscita tion. In vietv of the above accounts, it seemed natural to inquire, why the placing of light ning rods o.i buildings, is so much neglect- d. A properly constructed rod, of three fourths of an inch or an iurh in diameter, placed on Mr.Gilmore’s house, would, no louht, have saved the lives of the two men., and prtservid the house from injury, ouch i rod would cost from 10 l» 15 dollars, what Way can such a sum be better appi pi iated as it regards a dwelling house?, he price ol painting and papeiingi gle room, would defray the expeuce. But mine may doubt, whether electric cot,tlu ns are a security against lightning. Let liiein just recur to the above account. Til fluid, which destroyed the life of Divis iv :s attracted aud turned towaids him by single board nail. That which Wound nd stunned -Mrs. G. was drawn by the screw of the lookingghtss, and would prob auly have taken her life, had not the brass candlestick directed it from her. In the kitchen, the two muskets conducted the iglitning one way and the pewter plates another, and no person there was much in jured. The power of attracting lightning hicli exists in copper, iron, brass, etc manifested in the case before us, is truly tnnishing By such event, as well as by a multitude of electrical experiments, Pro vidence is teaching us how we may guaril gainst the destructive effects of lightning. And if we neglect to use the means of pres ervation which are ill our power, are w not doing wrong? He who unnecessarily exposes liimgtrtf to danger, on the grouno tout God will preserve him, and he who tiusts in God to deliver him from any evi while he neglects to use the means of di liveraitce in ms power, are alike guilty of r-.fling with Providence.

There certainly can be no ob jection to treating foreigners of rank and distinction with hospitality, but their merit should be their passport, not their title— and an ignorant, presuming man, claims no consideration at all. It has been ob served with much regret, tha» many Arne ricans of taste and talent, have been rude ly thrust aside to entertain a titled • fool and our ladies, too, h«»« aided and abet ted this pernicious example—all crowd round Monsieur le Baron, Monsieur Marquis, and Monsieur le Count. In France, where merit is really appre dated, a man of acknowledged talent re ceives the homage ol general respect, while noblemeu without merit are generally dis regarded.

The effect was seen by the scholars, and the Cause ex plained, when a general sympathy was ob servableiii the countenances ot all—many shed tears fur the loss of little Haw kilo whose sorrows were so accuteand afflict in One chariniiigair! took him by the hand and admonished nun to be calm, for that hi sister was gone to heaven. The maitnc ■f making this communication to the dn tressed lad was intelligible and impressive :nd seemed to assuage the grief ol the tit le mourner for the moment- Such was the effect of the association an instruction in this occui rence. li serves to shew that the mutes of flie institution have all tbe sensibilities, affection and reason of others of the family uf man.—Colum bian.

Whatever may be he eccentricities ol fashion, the pride of *-al'h, and the insolence of power, the imerican government really presents an example of fcjtublican simplicity. Our cabinet ministers are always accessible, ays ready to see any decent person on hu-ioes* connected with their department —and every person is well received, and treated with politeness if his con cerns are tint facilitated. Any person can have access to the President, and distinction but character exists in dispensing the hospitality jpf the execu tive mansion; hut the “common sense uf mankind” here «poken of, has not been benefilt d by the example of the govern ment.

I was highly pleased lately with the perusal of work stiled ‘ the year 2500,” in which the be nevolent author pourtrays the situation which h$ hopes France will be in at that period, and shews in a very striking point of view, the ab«air(lily of many of the most favorite practices of the present day, in that kingdum.

A letter received from Cadiz dated the 10th of March, says “We have authentic accounts than he American admi ral Beauntle, with 10 sail of the line, has lately had a desperate fngigenknt with a grand fleet of the Algerines, of 1J sail of the line, 6 frigates, and 4 galhes. Both fought with the almost bravery -*-but two Algerine first rate vessels being blown up, artd a greet havock bemg made among the crews of the rest, three struck, end tfc^pmindcr 1 fled, tiie signals for the chase were made, end three teore captured—the rest were driven ashore —and fire slops being sent among them, were all set in flames, and consumed. The brave admiral immediately Sailed to Algiers, which he bombard ed with such vigour, that in a short time all the fortifications on the side towords the sea, were levelled, and the city almost entirely reduced to ashes. The dey sent an ambassador to sue for peace, and was so te rrified at the fate of the fleet, on which he had placed all his reliance, that he’ consented to gimender all the piratical vessels which have so long infested the Mediterranean, and even the Atlantic.” Richmond, JprUSQ, By authentic advices from Kentucky, we are informed that no less than 150 vessels have been built on the river Ohio, during the !\st year, and sent down that river and the Mississippi, laden with valuable produce.

Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the state of Maryland, who died on the 1st inst. in the 63d year of bis age. General Winder entered the armies of our country at the rly age^pf eighteen, at a period when every heart throbbed with anxiety for the fate of the Republic, and remained in actual service, heed less of danger, and regardless ot personal welfare, until a glorious peace terminated the arduous contest for liberty, v.hen having witnessed his iuntry, enjoying that repose which so much blood was shed to obtain, he retired to the calm retreats of domestic life—and here, he who had commanded the respect and confidence of his brother soldier?, secured by a virtuous and useful fe. the love and friendship of all who knew him.. His remains were foVowed to the grave by nu merous wet ping relations, and by many venerable citizens who had shared with him, the toils and troubles of Columbia’s contest for Freedom and Independence. The members of the R. W. Grand Lodge, to gether with those of the different subordinate Lodges, agreeably to the ancient usages of the Fraternity, paid the last tribute of respect to the memory of their venerable brother, whose name will long be dearly cherished by the Craft.
