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 Speakoreftho Houso of Representatives m gthirty-three feet, divided inis fifty has omitted tho titlet of gentlemen, as he links, which »K!I Ira adjusted by the s , , . , , nr-general, according to thsstandird in his in* named them from tho chair.

And all situation in the work house, since which he *hi part of said territory lying west j»f the was no, heard of until the second edition of ^*‘“thM^nflta? hie story of Wood and murder appeared in the Bridgeport paper. 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. A letter from a professor of the Universi ty of Virginia states that it is expected that Chancellor Kent of New York will sup ply the vacancy in the professorship of that institution. Mr- Jefferson, its great pa tron, has been lately very much indisposed, but is so far improved as lately to visit the University. Nimple Life Preserver.—Take 800 new wino bottle corks, which are to be put on a string, and which, when so done, is to be sewed up in a strong but light canvass, (and to be made up in circles round the do- fly,) and when bo done is to be woll painted, so as to be water proof. It may have stioul- fler straps or buckles, or it may be fastened on a canvass jacket for convenience.
