Tbo Gommittoo of Arrangements having
Hulicitod and obtained from Mr- Charlton a

tff tha previous recoipt of other matter, we

We would direct the attention of our rea

It hat hecn the practice in Now York to
examine at the CuBtorn House only a cortain
portion of packages of cargoes of foroign
goods, while the groat part waa delivered to
the importers. In consequence, however
df the charges of fraud and for the satisfac
tion of manufacturers, the wholo of sovoral
ettrgoos of woolens have been examined as to
t,helr measurement, invoices &o. The New
York Mercantile says “ so far from any fraud
having been discovered! .spate of tho by-itan
tiers who felt confidont that our importors
would bo found at fault, eiid that though the
goods wore charged remarkably low,yet they
Wbold not be willing to tako them at cost aod
charges, Tho measure, too, is said io some
instances to havo fallen short of tho numbe r
of yards on which the duty is to bo charged,
ui> that no profit can accrue to tho importer
op that score. Wo hope this experitnen 1
will satisfy all those who hove instigated or
or attended the examinations in question
from patriotic motives, as well as some otbeis
whose enutives havo not been public.”

Tho Providence American says—“ Tbo
Legislature of Rhode Island adjourned on the
27ih Judo, after a session of four working days
six hours each During that time thsy have
passed about fiO acls of a public and private
nature, tried several private petitions, inves
tigated the concerns of a bank, elected near
ly 200 civil and military officers, refused to
reform the militia and the laws of suffrage,
and left undone quite as much business as
they have done. We should like to see any
legislature in the country put against this for
speed, to say nothing of bottom.”

The Now York papers havo been in
fumo for many days, in consequence of re
cent ordors from the Post Master General
to enforce the following section of the {Post
Office tlaw, which it appears had not hither
t'o been done, overcharges having boon roc
•titled on application by tho merchants. The
of Congress says, “Tho postngo marked

plain language of tho foregoing, tho cry

Ttjtly by tho opposition prints, has boon un

vbon vritton to on tbo same subject after
quoting tho act sap :
“No other instruction has, at any time,
Hood given on this poiut, than tho strict ob

fact of an overcharge, when so represented
by gentlemen of such character as tho sign

in tho law, would in somo ensea, produce
great embarrassment, and actual loss. I' 1

Wo think the law wants amending, for in
New York and other largo cities where the
crowd is immense and most of tho letters
taken out by clerks, loss mu6t bo sustainod
unless indeed tho undercharges (of which, by
tho bye, littlo is said,) should balanco the
overcharges. For immediate relief wo would
recommend that the writer of every lettor
eudorsor on it “single,” “double” or “treble,”
then if on its arrival at its destination, the
post offico mark does not agreo with said en
dprsemont, an error somewhere must be np-

breaking tbo seal in the presence of the Pos
Master or his Clerk.

Recently a littlo before sunset, two gen
tlemen (to all appearance) rode up to tho Ho
tel in Worcester, Mass, with a fine horse
and chaise, and requested refreshment and
lodgings for the night. After refreshing
themselves they walked down Main street,
arm in arm, oud attracted considerable at'
lention from tho citizens by tbeir unusually
poli&hed appearance. About sunset, a man,
post haste, arrived in town with advertise
ments, offering a reward tor two persons who
bad absconded from Albany, with a hired
horse and chaise. Our young gentlemen
were immediately suspected, and according
ly were arrested and examined. They con
fessed all, and were committed to prison.
After their commitment it was ascertained
that this brace of rogues wcreftmales! They
are thought to be about 18 yours of age, and
their novel introduction to the citizens of

COMMUNICATED FOR THE GEORGIAN*
Tho colebration of the 4th of July, by tbe
Liberty Independent Troop, in Suubury
At 10 o'clock, Capt. Maxwoll, in behalf
of the Liberty Independent Troop, received
from the hands of Miss Mary Jones, daughter
of Capt Joseph Jones, of Liberty county,
Flag, presented by Mrs. Wm. Maxwell, and
Miss Mary Jones, to the Liberty Independent
Troop. The Corps listened with mingled
feolingB of pleasure and pride, to & spirited
and appropriate address from Miss Jones.
Indeed, the sentiments, language and man
ner of its delivery, were particularly calcu
lated to awaken in every bosom, the liveliest
glow of patriotic feelings, aod for the fair au
thorcBB, sentiments of regard and admiration.
Capt. Maxwell’s reply, was worthy of him,
and spoko in strong and manly terms, the
high estimation in which he held the offering
of female patriotism, and his confidence in his
little band, that they would ever maintain
the honor of their standard, and their own
Between twelve and one o’clock, a proces
sion was formed, which proceeded to tbe
Church, where the exercises were opened
by prayer from tbe Rev. Wra. M’Whir,—
after which the Declaration of Independence
was read by Edward Footman, Esq and an
Oration delivered by Adam Tunuo Holmes.
Esq. a member of tbe Corps. Mr. Holme*’
oration was one particularly suited to the oc
casion, that did him credit, and was receiv
ed with universal-applause At half past
three, thq Corps, wiib a number of the most
respectable citizens, were called to a dinner,
after which the following Toasts were drank,
accompanied by the cannons roar.
.Toasts drank at a Dinner given by the
ffiborty'* Independent Troop, in Sunbury
'July 4th, 1829.
REGULAR TOASTS,
t. July Mh, 1776.—Time but makes us
more conscious of the glorious and irnpor
taut advantages secured by the solemn trans
actions of that day.
2. The memory of Washington.—It can
never die, but with the dissolution of time.
The Ihroes tf the Revolution.— While
Tho Beaufort GaYfetle cOtftains the detail of I
tbe celebration of the 4tb,by tbe patriotic citi
zens of that place. It says the Oration, by I
Capt. Wm Elliott, was delivered with case
and energy—and was a finished piece of com
position, chaste and elegant in style, often
highly eloquent, and evidently tbe result of
mature reflection on the subject which for*
med its principal topic. The Orator said
that he needed no apology for so doing, but
felt the‘painful duty incumbent on bun of
dwelling chiefly on the present relation of
of our State with tbe General Government
In doing so be exposed in terse and impassi
oned languige the wrongs under which we
suffer—and the yet further ru»n to which
they pave the way—and evinced in treating
of this theme tjie feeliner and spirit of an
American and a Carolman. The applause
with which the Oration was received was
loud aod enthusiastic.
SELECTED TOASTS.
By a Member — The Hon. Richard W
Habersham, of Georgia.— Who has given
such honorable testimony of his attachment
to State Rights.
Mr. Habersham (visiter) rose, and in o
neat addicBB disclaimed any peculiar merit
in the transaction referred to in the toast,
be trusted he said that he bad not only done
nothing on that occasion worthy of the com
pliinent it bad drawn forth, but that there
was not a man in tho community who would
bave acted otnerwise.
The State of Ge.orgia.~-She has earned a
rich harvest of gratitude and honour, from
hor sisters, by the consistency and energy
with which she vindicated State rights
againBt the usurpations of the General Go
vernraent.—9 cheers.
Here, Mr. Richard W. Habersham, who
was present as a Guest, rose and addressed
the company ; expressing with much fcel-
ii g the gratification which as a citizen of
Georgia be deprived from the toast just
given, and from tho enthusiastic manner in
which it had been received He said that
such a public manifestation of good feeling
was calculated to have the best effect, in
itrengthening the ties between two States so
closely Unit together in interest and affuc
tion, as Georgia and South-Carolina—and
begged leave to give tho following sentiment •
South-Carolina.—Oppressed and depresed
as she is, she has within heresell a principle
and a power, .which must preseive her liber
ties, and ultimately restore to her that proa
perity of which sbe haa been robbed.
South-Carolina.—When she should have
watchod, she slumbered—when she should
have roused,abe lingered—when 6ho should
have struck sbe wavered!—Where ! where!
is tHe old spirit of our.'fathers?
The present Cabinet.—The people ought,
in conscience, to give them two terms office
ns they have double duly to perform—their
own and that left unfinished by their penpa
tf-tic predecessors.
By Col Stephen Ellio-t. Georgia.—
Justly proud of her sons.—The temptations
I office could not seduce their patriotism
By Richard W Habersham. Esq—The
people of Beaufort—A like distinguished for
liberality, hospitality and correct constitution
al opinions. May they he supported in the
lust by the whole S mth. May their liber
ality be imitated by the North nod East, and
thir constitutional o p i niopi.'(die adopted by
the whole—North, E^fllpdW^qt.
TlPe circumstances’»re oi"«ucli a nature an
to call forth the deepest sympathy. From the
statement given by tho persons who discov
ered the bodies it may be inferred, that they
escaped immediate death by getting ashore
in the boat, at the post formerly kept by one
Godin ; left abandoned during tbe laBt win*
ter, but afterwards perishod by hunger and
tbe inclemency. It is evident from the state
in which the dead bodies were found in the
adjoining house that these victims of misfor*
tunc must have been reduced to the horrid
necessity of subsisting on human flesh for
some considerable time. Such an occurrence
ca ! ls for further investigation ; intelligence
respecting the lives of so many should not be
allowed io rest solely on the persons who first
discovered tbeir dead bodies, and who, it ap
pears divided the articles found in the house
among thnmaelveB. without previously sub
mitting to any legal formalities It scem»
strange bow persons in such circumstances
would all remain toge'her so long db they ap
pear to have done, without making any ef*
fort to escape from the scene of horror. Tho
Legislature during tbe last session, plnced
means at tbe disposal of Government for pla
cing a Block of proviBons at tho several posts
below, and numerous instances of shipwrecks
in tbe vicinity of these posts, should convince
all of the necessity of never again leaving
any of them abandoned.
Dr. Watkins—Our last advices from?
Washington, montion that the Court had re
frniiicd from fixing upon a day for the pro
cccdings to be resumed until a preliminary
motion, about to be submitted by Mr. Jones,
should be argued and decided.
A letter from Washington io tho New
York Courier, among other matters states
that Mr- Southard’s evideuce before the
Grand Jury at Washington, dissipated all
doubt, oven on tho port of Watkins’s best
friends, as to bis obtaiu'ng money from the
Treasury by false pretences Mr. Watkins,
when Fourth Auditor, called on Mr. South
ard and informed him that ho bad received a
letter from Mr. Hambleton, Purser in the
Navy at Pensacola, requiring $2000 for spe*
cifio purposes. Mr. Southard requesting
that the letter might be placed on file, Wat
kins answered that every other part of.lhe
letter but that containing the requisition-was
private and improper for tho public flies, up
on which Mr. Southard directed him to write
au official letter, staling that Hambleton bad
required the $2000. This Watkios did, and
the letter so written, with the requisition of
the Secretary of the Navy attached to it,has
been found and shown to the Grand Jury.
Hambletou has arrived fronv ( ^ens ! acbia,.and
declares that he never requirfil.,tbe $2000 of
the Treasury, or any other'Stfta, through
Watkins. *

Hambleton, Herris. Cox, and tluiler, ot dif

$7300. Tbo same latter alludes'to*other
impositions practiced by the Ex 4th Auditor
on “many officers whose accounts he bad to
settle, by borrowing money from them,which
he exhibited very little disposition to pay.”
The pecuniary situation or New Hampshire
is not much dissimilar to Massachusetts.—
Tho commit 1 eo of finance havo reported
there is nut a dollar in the treasury and the
Stato is in debt about $I5;000.
The American Asylum lor tho Deaf and
Dumb, at Hartlord, as appears from tbeir late
report, has had no less than 289 pupils, from
diffureut parts of the United States.
Temperance.—A gentleman in New Ha
ven co. Conu. has recently ordered a fine ap
plo orchard to bo cut down—“ becauso the
apples may be ground into cider, tho cider
may be distilled into spirituons liquor, and
liquoi, if drunken will make a man drunk.—
On which the New York Journal says—A
good reason in sooth t It D like tbo girl who
while baking in an oven, stopped aod burst
into toars ; being asked the reason she an
swered, “ I was thinking that if l should get
married, and should bave a pretty baby, and
tbo baby should gel into a/chnir, and should
climb into the oven, and get burned to death,
what should 1 do ! oh 1 oh 1”
And the Courier and Enquirer says, Veri

see tho worthies of the land in league, to es
tablish an Anti-Apple and Anti-rye Society.
Every time and age haa its mania:—We
hope the world will sober down before dooms
day.
Chilian Money.—The following are sil
ver—half reals, reals, two reals or quaiters of
a dollar, four reals or half dollars, eight reals
or dollars. The following are gold—Doub
loons or ounces, [17 dollars and 2 reals,]
ounces, doubloons, £ doubloons, 1-16 doub
loons. The two last are rare. Copper
money is unknown. Tbe doublorn rises in
value with the dollar, but not always in pro
portion. A broker, it is remarked, in chang
ing a doubloon, keeps half a real on each dol
lar. Another kind of money is in small
silver pieces, clipped and stamped, for half
and quarter reala.
Anecdote.—At a certain town in the
land of * steady habits,” at some doings of
tho people to ascertain tho Btrength of the
Adams and Jackson parties, they-had one de
canter filled with rum, which|lh§i named
Adams, and another filled w^^Jfii^wbich
they called Jackson. Adams^fssooh'almost
emptied, when a shrewd young man entered
the room, and being infrrmed what was going
on, instantly replied^when s5(da»wia dom,
you will all be for Jackson.” '

doubt upon the horrid tale relativef.-to the
lost ships company of ; the Grafticu&^hosi

Island of Anticosti. > -
We follow the other papers in* publishing
the appalling accounts from the « E point
of AuticoBti, by the way of the Magdalen 1b
lands. There can be no doubt that Mr. Daw
Bon and Capt. Det-jardins have stated the
facts faithfully, as reported to them. But
it connpt but be recollected, that all this in
formation is at second hand, and brought by
a number of persons who had associated them
selves in a scaling voyage. That- the crew
and passengers of the ship Gracious,- have
perished there can be little doubt But the
particular account that has been given of
their fate seems liable to much improbability.
Their boat, it appears, was Bound That
men accustomed to a sea faring life, should
remain to expose themselves to the most
fri^'.iful of all deaths,rather than trust them
selves to their usual element in search of aid
elsewhere, in n good boat, and wheo the
etorm which could not always last, had sub
sided—seems utterly irrecor.ciltable with the
ordinary principles of human nature.
But this is not the greatest improbability
How is possible for men, in 6Uch a situation,
to keep together on shore—on ship board they
could not separate; but on land, any man
Bureiy who was aware of his fate, and had al
ready seen one or two victims, would endea
vor to escape from his companions by wand
ering in to the woods that he might die alone
and unmolested, or preserve his life with
what he could there obtain.
It is inconceivable that twelve or fifteen
men, in such a situation, would make no ex
ertioD to save tbeir lives; and they must
have made noi e. if they remained in one
place with such a death staring them in the
face. To have travelled forty or even sixty
miles to another post, or at leant to bave rent
a party in quest of it was surely nu impossi
ble undertaking. That they might have fail
ed in reaching it is possible. That they
would not attempt it in these circumstances
seems extremelylincredible.
Such an account may turn out to be cor
rect, but there is I great necessity for making
further inquiry.
The people, however, on board the Grani-
cu8 have no doubt perished in one way or an
other, and near the place designated. There
cannot be a stronger argument for tbe neces-
»ity. of establishing, in propeKBituations, de
pots for tbe relief of such trnfortunate per
sons, and of maintaining them when estab
Key West, June 11.—Capt. Weston, of tbo
schr. Thistle, reports, that he boarded on the
19th ult. at anchor inBide of Caryeford Reef,
the schooner Reboboth, Forbes, three days
from Havana—she had struck on the Reef
and unshipped her rudder, but repaired tho
damage without the assistance of wreckers,
and proceeded on her voyage. Several times
since the removal of the Light Ship from tho
Reef, it has become our duty lo report casos
of stranded vessels near that point. It is
perhaps the most critical part of the Florida
Reef, which renders it highly important that
Government should not delay in placing
another in its steud. We would therefore*
beg leave respectfully to call the attention of
the proper authorities to this subject.
Shearing.—Tue Nautu* ket Inquirer of
Saturday states that on Monday and Tuesday
previous, the Sheep owned upon the Island,
and which go in one flock, were shorn to the
number of 6000, but little more than half of
those shorn last year, occasioned by the se
verity of the winter. It is however doubtful
if this provo any injury to the community, na*“
it is thought that the Island has been gradu
ally losing its fertility by being so closely gra
zed by sheep.
An uncommon spectacle, one which per
haps never before occurred upon the Island,
anil may never again, was lo see the vener
able Thomas Gardner, in the nineiyfourth
year of bis age shearing sheep. lie plied the
“8oundiog shears” with a skillfull hand, and
the neatness of the performance showed in-
contestible proof that the operator, notwith
standing the pressure of almost a hundred
years, still retains in a remarkable degree his
physical end intellectual powers.
On an emioem e at a distance from tho
shear pen ; (continues the Inquirer.) a num
ber of tents are pitched, furnished with eata
bles, drinkables, smobables, Sic- several of
which have a temporary floor io ono corner
soy 10 or 12 feet in length, and 4 or 5 io
width. On this area are performed feats tho
most ludicrous imaginable; .Tbo,dancers,(if

We learn from the Providence Patriot that
January contains-an
nccoqnVm'fha apprehension of some of the
crew.offo Cjiifteee-Junk, who had murdered
twelve Frenchmen and drove two overboard,
near the Ladrone Ialamla. The Frenchmen,
it appears, took passage on board the Junk
at Cochiorhina for Macao, with a quantity
of merchandize and money, which was s’mred
umong the Chinese after the murder One
of the Frenchmen was, as is stated, miracu*
lously presewed, nnd gave information by
which 17 of the culprits were discovered and
suffered the punishment their crimes merited.
They were beheaded, but did not exhibit any
uneasiness at the execution; they appeared
as composed as any of the spectators. It

Canton again in fourteen or fifteen years!
Cabbage and Ditto.—We have just nowSi
heard a cabbage story, which we will cook
up for our laughter loving readers. “Oh!
I loves ye like any thing,” said a young
countryman to his sweet heart, warmly pres
sing her hand. “ Ditto,” said she, gently
returning the pressure. The ardent Fovyer,
not happening to be over and above lamed,
was sorely puzzled to understand the mean*
ing of ditto—but was ashamed to expose Lis
ignorance by asking the girl. He went
home; nnd the next day being at work in thn
cabbage yard with his father, he spoke out—.
“Daddy, what’s the meanin’ of ditto?”—
“ Why,” said the old mao. “this ere is one
cabbage-head, ant it?” “Yes, daddy.”—
“ Well, that are’s ditto.” *• Rot that are
good for nothin’ gal!” ejaculated the indig*
nant son, “she called me cabbage head and
I’ll be darned to darnntion if I ever go to see
^her again.” Berkshire American.
i)ebt.—A correspondent of the Bostoff**
Courier, very properly suggests that it wood
be adviseable for all societies engaged in tbe
laudable work of suppressing intemperance,
to visit the poor man who ie unfortunate id
hiB business, and render him when forsaken
by bis friends, euch assistance as the cir
cumstances render neceBB&ry. The intend*
ed suggestion probably is, and there is much
weight in it, that misfortune causes more
drunkenness than any inherent love for vice
or disgrace in man, and that therefore, keep
ing men out of tbe danger of prisons would
be striking at one great root of the evil.-^*
