On our oitUer form will bo found a column of miiccllt-
ncous articles, hitherto laid over to give room for mat
ters of more immediate interest, in our inner form.

Au inquest was held last evening upon the body of
JDaniel Handcrhan, found in tho river yesterday, at the
month of St. Augustine Creek, fivo miles below the
city. Tho individual hero named is one of those who
■were on board tho oyster bqat mentioned by us'yester-
day as having been capsized near Long (stand; and
ilha body is the only one yet recovered. Attempts have
been made to raiso llic boat, but they fuiled hi conto<
queued of the breaking of the chain used to effect it.—
The number of persons on board the boat was six—one
who had intended to come up to town in her haring
ermnatcly remained behind.
The following is a correct list of those on board when
Oin boat left Cockspur, some of whom, will probably bo
discovered when she is raised—Daniel Hamlorh&n,
(whose body has been found,) W. Carney, John Mur-
}ihey,Thus. Proctor, JohnM’Oabe,& James Wheelan,
the last named being master of the boat. Tho verdict
of the Jury was “accidental drowning.”

IsrAtffr Schools.—\Ve some tune aincc spool a fore
noon in witnessing tho mode of teaching pursued in the
Infant School In this city, and intended to havo boforo
spoken ofiL Tho following description,howovor,of one of
tho many similar institutions in tho city of New York,
containing os it docs a cloar viow of tho modo of instruc
tion, and perfectly applicable to that in this city, super-
codes auy attempt at a description of it on our part.—
The system we understand, it is contemplated to cxtsnd
here, so that tho poorer classes may havo the benefit of
it. It is but an act of justice, however, to tho instruc
tress, Mrs. Dbqwkr, to say that her parental attention
her charge, and tho tad and ability she exhibits in the
execution of the arduous duty of instructing so largo a
number as sixty children, from 2 to 7 years of age, de.
serve oil praise. A visit will well repay tho time spent
in it:
From the Evening Pott,
Interested tn the intellectual advancement of the youth
of our city, I gladly availed myself of an invitation to an
examination of a private school conducted on the u In
fant School Syifcm.” at 110 Bleecker street, and was
highly gratified by the pleasing result* evidenced in the
accuracy oftho little pupils in their various lessons. The
system of “ mental development” long since projected
hy Pcstalozzi, has been but recently introduced nmong
us, and promises high udvantagos to the rising genera
tion ; having already, as connected with the interests of
education, assumed nn importance not at first anticipa
ted. The practicability of the “ Infant School System,”
with even very young children, as well as its utility, were
fully illustrated on this occasion, when wero presented
an assemblage of more than thirty little ones, under six
yenrs, and somo of them two, throe, and four, all ac
quainted with the alphabet, competent to spell In words
of ono and two syllables, a largo portion to read cor
rectly in easy lessons, and at least two thirds of them
evidencing an accurate knowledge of tho elements of
grammar, arithmetic, geography, astronomy, all of which
Mr. Shaw, of Prince William's Parish, South Caro

cleaning rice entirely by friction, without tho use of the
pestle, and which, it is said, docs not brenk one fourth
the quantity of tho common machines. It is worked by
horses, produces three to four barrels per day to each
horBO; fmd one on the largest and best scale, it is ad
ded, would lint cost exceeding -10 or £0 dollurx.

Tho condition of tlm commercial and manufacturing
interests of Great Britain, is such at tho present mo
ment as to require tho exertion of all tho intellect of her
politicians and political economists to restore these great
interests to a portion of their wonted prosperity, and to
savo a largo portion of her population from actual star
vation. ‘‘In every corner of the Empire, it is kcinark-
cd hy the London Spectator, inovery branch of traffic,
wo fmd demand small, supply in excess, profits falling,
wages scanty, masters hostening to decay, laborers iu
rags, nothing stationary but the taxes, and nothing in
creasing but tho poor rates.—The cotton trade, the
woollen trado, tho iron trado, tho silk trade,- all suffen
some more, somo less.” Tho causes of this universal
depression are various, according to tho political bias
of those who devote their attention to it—to the com
laws, inequality in taxation, tho small note bill—tho
free trade system, tho taxes, to which Mr. Cobbettadds

discovers in tho opinions and mcnsurcs pursued contrary

tho only panacea, the .repeal of the obnoxious measures

the purpose of petitioning tho King to rc-osscmblo Par-
liamont immediately, and take into consideration tho
deplorable condition of tho United Kingdom. What

-city so characteristic of the jnvenilo mind—for by the

no parent present coulu refuse their most cordial appro

children wero examined on tho practical duties growing

ono of great interest, and excited a desire in my breast
that similar establishments might ho originated in every

education is commenced on such principles,, must not
only bo improved in heart by its moral discipline, but
will also acquire a stock of useful knowledge, not easily
effaced from tho mind, and abundant stores of truths
and facts, which tho pupils of other schools may never
accumulate.
Dice.—An interesting correspondence has taken
plnco between Wm. Washington, Esq. on tho patt of
tho Agricultural Society of South Carolina, and the
Secretary of tho Navy, in relation to the more extensive
introduction of Dice, as an articlo of food, into the Navy
of tlm United States. Wo regret that wo liavo not
room for the letter of Mr. Washington; we subjoin
however, the letters of the Secretary of tho Navy r.nd
tlm Commissioners of tho samo Department, Tho in
creased consumption of rice, which its general adopt ion
as an article of food in tho navy would cause, would bo
an advantage to tho planters of the South generally,
whilst as an article of food, none can he offered superior
to it, either at sea or on shore. Its adoption in the
army is also on object worthy of the consideration oftho
General Government. Tho .Mercury*remarks on the
subject:—“Thanks are duo to tho Socrctary for tho tn-
Onc oftho London papers copies from tlm Australian
an account of a lusua natural, exhibiting in Canton, in
Chinn, passing tlm singularity of the Siamese twins—
It is described us a “young Chinese, now aged about
IQ to 17 years, w ith a dwarf twin, as it were, attached
to his breast, complete in all parts but tho head, which
is probably concealed within tho body of the other.—
This appendage participates and sympathises in every
move, gesture, and passion of tlm other, and seems to
open a wonderful field for speculative philosophy to nc-
count for the hitherto unheard-of (bet of only one life
aud soul inhabiting, in all but tho head, two complete
orporcal systems. Very largo sums, amounting to
somo thousands sterling, have been offered hy tho Eng
lish at Canton to this unfortunate creature, hut in vain,
to proceed with tlu-m to England, iu order to obtain
money by tho exhibition of so wonderful a curiosity.”
tcrest bo haii manifested on thjs Biibject^so important to
tnlSTno hSS given to
Southern planters, airatortlio prori
cause experiments to bo made for tho purposo of testing
the objections urged by tho Commissioners oftho Navy.
Tho:.o objections, it appears, resolve themselves alto
gether into a prejudice on tho part of sailors against the
use of rice as tending to impair tho sight, and nn appre
hension of difficulty from tho quantity of water that
might bo required in preparing it. Of tho first it
is sufficient to sav thut it is totally uufounded, as is
abundantly proved by the experience of thousands of
our people who have lived all their lives in Um daily
consumption of the article, lie, therefore, who should
remove nn objection so utterly ridiculous, nnd yet, ns
it seems, so inveterate and deep rooted, would confer a
benefit upon sailors, in cnubling them to conquer an un
founded fear, aud at tha same timo to enjoy an artictc
of food, fully as safe, and much more nutritious and
strengthening, than uny other vcgetublo now afforded
them. Of tlm difficulty on tho score of water we are
not competent to judgo; but rico would certainly not
require more water in preparing it, than would bonus
tir potatoes, or any other article fur which it might ho
provided as a substitute.”

^ Sir—Upon the subject of the letter of \V. Washington,
Esq. and tho Resolutions nflltc Agricultural Society of
South Carolina, which you were pleased to refer to "this
Hoard, the Commissioners beg leave to observe, that by
law Rice is at this timo part of tlioNnvy ration—two
days •» the week (Wednesday nnd Friday) half a pint is
issued to each person on board of ship—it is ulso used
as Hospital stores.
The Commissioners concur in opinion with Mr.
Washuigteii ns to Rico lining a nutritious and whole
some Ihod—and they would bo glad to see it more exten
sively used lliaii it is. There is however among sailors
generally, a strong pre judice or dislike to it. The be
lief among them is almost universal, that thnuscofit
impairs tho sight, ami it is a fnct thut of tlm quantity is
sued in our service,seldom morn than half is consumed
Thin prejudice or dislike is so deeply rooted, that any at-
t' lnpt to introduce the extensive use of Itice would, wo
apprehend, render tho service unpopular.
In reference to the service itself, tut objection of some
weight exists, in the quantity of water which would lie
consumed in boiling the rice—in a season of active op
erations, this objection would bo more serious.
An ollcnipt was once mode by one of our Commanders
In introduce tho use of corn hominy and meal nn hoard

among tho crew, that it has never since linen revived.—

We stated yesterday tho destitution or a
Mayor, for having joined in tho ltonbrs to

which tills intended disgrace gave rise:—
“ Tho intelligence of this event,” says the
Procurseur’of Lyons,” inspired tho inhabit
ants oftho commune with the greatest indig
nation—not boing able to conceive why peucu-
fbl citizens may not; without crime, honor one
oftho worthiest public men of tho nation;
The whole population assembled spontaneous
ly in tho public square : there, each one ex
pressed lus regrets, and recalled, with delight,
he useful and honornblo uetq of tho displaced
Magistrates. Thence they proceeded to tho
Office oftho Mayor, whore these functionaries
still wore ; and there Mr. Rotnain Peyton
thus spoke in the nutno of his fellow citizens:
Jlfr. Mayor, and Mr. Deputy.—The in
habitants of this communo have learned, with
the greatest pain, that, by a decree of tho
Minister oftho Interior, M. de Labourdon-
naye, of lltli inst., you wero deprived of tho
functions you have discharged with so much*
zeal,& in which you have so justly acquired the
confidence and esteem of those you had to ad
minister to. The motives which have affor
ded to tho new Ministry a pretext for this act,
are too honorable to bo made a cause for coin-
ilaint! You are, Gentlemen, the first citi
zens stripped of their gratuitous functions, for
having taken part in the honors paid to Gen.
Lafayette ? Let us not envy, tho enemies of
tho public liberties this poor satisfaction,
whilo all France isstill echoing with the accla
mations which every where burst- forth upon
the passage of this great Citizen, and especi
ally m the second City of tho Kingdom 1 The
Deputy, who was the object of this enthusiasm
will live in history,’ in spite of the calumnies
of party men! Tho people will always recol
lect, that he was, at the time, the zealous de
fender of legal liberty—-which, among us, em
braces attachment to constitutional monarchy
—that on the 5th and 6th October, he twice
saved the lives of the Royal Family—that,
previously to the 10th August, ho sacrified
his popularity in order to snatch Louis XVI.
from the dangers that threatened him ; and
that, proscribed for his energetic protest, at
the bar oftho Legislative Assembly, and ar
rested in a neutral country, ho expiated,in the
dungeons of Austria, tho crime of having al
ways Faithfully observed tho line of his duty!!
You, gentlemen, you too, fulfilled a ditty,
in not separating yourselves from all those
under your core, in those imposing circum
stances when the itrcsoncc of our magistrates
as the organs of our unanimous sentiments,
added a now value to their manifestation, and
ensured tranquillity and good order iu tho
midst of our rejoicings.
Receive, therefore, tho expression of our
thanks, nnd of our regret.
The Mayor and his Deputy were sensibly
affected by this address. In tho evening, a
banquet at which numbers wero presented-
was prepared for them, and afterwards, a bril
liant serenade was performed under their
windows. These testimonies of tho esteem
of their fellow-citizens abundantly compensa
ted lor the vengeance of Ministers.
The Prefect of tho Department having de-
signated M. Buscaillon as provisional Mayor,
this respectable old man answered, “that M.
Finnnt having been removed by tho Minister
oftho Interior for having taken part in the
honors paid 1o Gen. La Fayette, ho was hound
to declare that lie himself had done the same
thing, together with all the other inhabitants
