triVK DOLLARS.
TUESDAY MORNINO, JUNE 81.HHIS
We have received the “ Sketch” from
"J. R. W.” of Washington, and shall pub
lish it the first convenient opportunity.
dcARctTr or vessels.—We hardly re-
eolloct a period when tlie harbor was
more bare of vessels than the present; nor
do we recollect when a greator number
of persons from the interior have visited this
city, for the purpose of taking passage to
the north. Almost every vessel expected
to arrive from Europe has been taken up
for the transportation of Cotton ; and
every birth in the packets which have been
expected from the north has been engaged
by passengers, some of them so long ago
as three weeks.
Cotton Stealing.—A negro fellow,was
yesterday brought before Justice Valleav,
charged with stealing Cotton from a bale
on Taylor’9 wharf, on the morning of the
82d ultimo. It appeared that he had rip
ped open the bale from which he abstracted
the article, and afterwards sewed it up.—
He confessed the fact to the guard who ap
prehended him—and to a gentleman he
stated, in addition to the confession, that he
was employed by a white man, who was to
pay him two dollars. He wss sentenced to
receive twenty-five lashes—his owner to
pay costs. The white man who could em
ploy a negro for this purpose, richly deserves
the severity of the Isw. The crime of pil
fering in this way has become an evil to the
aerrantile community of sufficient magni
tude to be noticed in the presentments of
the Grsnd Jury, at the last session of the
Superior Court, and we hope that proper
vigilance will be used in the detection, not
only of the pilferers, but of the receivers of
the stolen goods.
We published a few days since a rela
tion of a piracy and murder communicated
to the editor of t e Bridgeport Courier, by
a Mr. Daniel G. Wright, of Boston. It
now appears that the bloody story of this
Mr. Daniel G. Wrioht, is all a hoax, for
the purpose of extracting money from the
pockets of the credulous, for the sole use
and benefit of the said Mr. Daniel G.
WaicnT. He is not the first man who has
made a living by hie misfortunes. In Alex
andria, however, where he told a tale of a
similar character, and was snccessful in ex
citing sympathy for his pretended misfor
tunes, which was accompanied with what

It appears by the latest Madrid dates that
the Spanish Government has summoned all
the Generals who have held posts since
18(0 in the Spanish ultra marine provinces
to form a Junta, for the purpose of enquir
ing into the causes which have led to the
alienation of the public mind from the
mother country. This enquiry conducted
in a proper spirit fifteen years ago might
have been servicable to ihe Royal cause.—
What benefit is now to be derived from it,
it is difficult to perceive. The South Ame
rican provinces are irrecoverably lost to the
mother country—the wilful and perverse
blindnessB of which is justly punished by a
losa even ofthe privileges which might have
been obtained by a limited concession a
few years ago. Since the commencement
ofthe struggle for freedom in tho South, a
new generation has arisen who know not
tho mother country, and their s flections are
tranaferrred to those who have acted to
wards them a more maternal part.
