possible security in the construction and

means of preventing accidents from the ex

boiler should be proved by the hydraulic
press to sustain a pressure five times greater
than the working of the steam-engine re

at a pressure just above that by which the
boilers have been tried ; that the boiler

hove both abused the generosity of his High

the said individuals, which is very injurious
to tho country, not only on account of the
amount of their debtfc, but also on account
of the example they set* to other merchants;

communicate to the ahove-mentiojied debt

months from this day to pay their debts in

their obligations into the hands of their res

respect. Sir, “BOGOS JOUSOUF.”
The island of Barhadoes was thrown into
commotion, in the last weok of April, by the
x pec ted arrival of snme Methodist "Mis
sionaries. Instructions had been received
by the Governor, from England, to protect
*heir landing, but the people showed a dis
position to resist it all hazards.
“ By G \r here's Monsieur Tonson come
again.™—Further extracts from the scraps
of an English Traveller,
I hove been much deceived by the repre
sentations of those whom I have conversed
with, und I have no other dependence than
to write only from my own observation, or
ruly upon what mny he related to rue by
my own countrymen that I find here.
I have been informed, for instance, thnt
the streets are very sandy; but i; is no such
thing—all of them ure paved in the hand
somest manner, with spacious side walks,
and some of them are M’Adnmized—that it
they are covered with cast Iron plates.
As soon eh I get through with noting
what is interesting here, I shall profit by an
invitation I have to visit a town which is on
the other side ofthe river, directly opposite
to Savannah, called Humbug. It wn:
thrown up in one night, by somo volcanic
eruption, nnd threatened to interfere great
lv with this place—particularly as a great
deal of trade steam boats, hanks and
taverns were thrown up at the same time
but they say it wont do. It has already
burst its boiler, and as to the hank, it is sa
tisfnetorily ascertained that it is only the
bursting ofa paper mill, whirh was sunk in
the same spot not many years since by
Earthquake, and which contained a great
many tawdry carricatup s, designed for the
decorations of a Barber’s Shop, which tin
men that discover! d them mistook for bank
notes ^ they swore to it until the community
manifested to this would-be bank, that there
was no making a whistle out of a pig’s toil
Since I spoke to you of Cannaling, I per
ceive that the President of this State, biflu
euced by the vast advantages that arc de
rived from the Duke of Bridgewater’s Ca
nnl, which you know extends from York to
Canada, has been induced to order a Canal
to be cut from this city to the Chesapeake
Biiv which will cross in its course the riv
eraOirechee, Okmulgee,and bringdown
the trail* of the Soutii and West—he has
already unp’oyeil one thousand hands upon
tin* work and it is expected thnt it will
finished in s>x months. It will co»t a good
al of money, but. tlu* funds will arise from
the sales ofthe Owyhee Islands which this
country has lately had ceded to it by the
natives on condition that they shall be well
provided for in the city of Missouri, which
is about half wny between Philadelphia and
Baltimore. The people of this city have
been petioning the government to allow this
land to be distributed among them by a Lot
tery—but no such foolish scheme can be
listened to—and it will all certainly go to
pay for the Canal—you may depend on this
as a fact. I have it from the Congressional
proceedings.
Great hopes and expectations are built
upon this Cana), and rfk the increase of pro
perty in value will be so great, I imagine
there will be less Rice.i. e. Alligutors Eggs,
caught here next season than in any pre
ceding one—and hence, this article uiay be
a good one for speculation.
It is almost impossible thing to get a drink
of Porter or Beer here ; the inhabitants of
this city carry on a great trade to the West
Indies, in black cattle and horses, nnd bring
back a great quantity of Molasses, which
they distil into Rum, and this is the com
mon drink at the first houses, it is handed
