long experience qualifies him to speak decidedly on this subject, bears the following testimony: “But why do we speak of profit where there is no profits. In four cases out of live this is literally the fact. The balance struck at the end of the year will shew loss instead of profit in most'of the printing establish ments of this State, and perhaps of the United States; and such we believe to have been the case since our first ini tiation into the mysteries of the art, more than a quarter of a century ago. If any dcubt this fact, let them advert to the numerous failures of the News- printers in Georgia—to the entire ru in of men possessing all the requis ite skill, industry, energy, prudence, and talents to command at least a moderate, portion of success, • and make a living in almost any other oc cupation. We have no hesitation in saying that for every dollar made by newspaper establishments in Georgia, within the fifteen or twenty years, double and treble as much has been lost. A few and but very few have been successful—these are exceptions and rare exceptions too. It is a lot tery in which there are many blanks and but few prizes.” These losses arise from indiscrim inate credit. If only one-fifth, or even one-fourth of Newspaper charges were • a dead loss, there might be, in most cases some profit still. • But on aver age, we should judge that not more than two-thii ds of those who take pa pers ever think of paying for them. Add to this, delay, the trouble of collec ting, commissions, difference of exchange (for any thing is good enough for a printer) insolvencies, &c. &c. and you have the sum total of deficits, amount ing to nearly or quite one-half of the nominal accounts.—Char. Obs. The African Colony.—The last number of the African Repository con tains some farther details of the infor mation from Libera brought by the last arrival. It appears that three vessels, the Randolph, the Doris and the Nautilus, with 293 passengers in all, had arrived at Liberia in safety, the two former sometime previous to the 3d of March, the date of the des patches. The emigrants from South Carolina had enjoyed universal and perfect health.;—Those who came from the States north of Virginia had however suffered severely, and 24 of them had died. “Draw a line,” says Mr. Ashmun, “due east and west across the Elk Ridge in Maryland, and not a death has invaded the people from the south of it.” Anew settle ment. at the head of navigation on the St. Paul’s has been formed, in a fine and fertile country,, which lay as a sort of barrier between the tribes of the coast and those of the interior, and which was therefore obtained on ea sy terms. A large log factory has been erected with range of 30 or 40 houses, and the settlement has been named Millsburg. Mr. Ashmun thinks, “that for at least two years to come, a much more discriminating selection of settlers must b? made than ever has been—even in the first and second expeditions by the Elizabeth and Nau tilus in 1820 and 21, or that the pros perity of the colony will inevitably and rapidly decline.” At the end of that timo he observes, “a healthy pro portion of idle and working people will be found there; and the free coloured population of the Uuitcd States may then be taken up just as they are found there, the working and the idle, as they are now naturally distributed throughout the amqrican States—and, my character for the stake, under good management, they will not be felt as a burden.”—JV. Y. Ev, Post. From the New York Advertiser. Land of Liberty.—/The Editor of the Pensacola Gazette states that a negro man had been severely whip ped in the Court House Yard, by the City Constable, and in the course of the same day the same individual re ceived a second flogging by the same constable in the Market House.—The person thus flogged is said to be a free negro man, and the Editor of the Ga zette has been informed that His Honour, the Mayor of the city, had ordered the constable to whip him whenever this man made lus appear ance in Pensacola. The Editor re marks, “We ask our candid and reflecting fellow citizens whether it is not a dangerous precedent to countenance such a procedure, even in regard to a poor friendless Negro, however crim inal and vile? If our Magistrates and <!flicers are permitted to judge with? out trial, and to punish without fol lowing the forms of the law, we shall soon be at the mercy of every petty, tyrannical despot, who may be cloth ed with a little brief authority. We confess that we had hoped that abet ter era was dawning upon us; we had seen an enlightened and in telligent Grand Jury setting their faces against proceedings similar to the one under consideration; we had seen them indict and bring to pun ishment a Justice of the Peace who had arbitrarily and without trial chas tised a free Negro; and we did not suppose that we should so soon have to record an act precisely analogous committed by another officer. In one instance a justice of the Peace strikes a Negro, at the moment he is insult ed by him and under the excitement of passion—he is indicted and lined beyond his ability to pay; and even then the sentence was mitigated by his contrition and pleading guilty. In the other, the Mayor orders the Con stable to whip a Negro whenever he sees him in the city! What is the difference? Surely, what ever it is, is not in favour of the lat ter. We wish distinctly to state that we do not mean to impute intentional error to the Constable who whipped the Negro—-we doubt not that he was improperly advised and directed by one whose duty it was to know better than himself. We merely write this article to call our citizeus to calm and dispassionate deliberations, on a subject calculated to establish a dan gerous precedent and to subvert some of the best principles of law and jus tice. ''A higher Judge has as much right to order a man hung without tri al, as our Mayor has to order one to be whipped.” WAR IN EUROTE. We frequently hear the question asked, how the war between the Rus sians and Turks will affect this coun try? It is perhaps not easy to give a satisfactory answer to this inquiry.— The theatre of the controversy is at a great distance from us, and we see no immediate prospect of advantage like ly to arise from it to our commercial pursuits. Europe is at present well supplied with necessary materials for supporting armies and navies. The fleets of G. Britain and France will be furnished with provisions from their respective countries, and Russia has the advantage of the fine Regions con nected with the Black Sea, from which to draw all that is necessary for her land forces. There is no finer grain country in Europe, than that owned by Russia above alluded to.— And it is not probable that its stores will be exhausted at least during the first year of hostilities. Should the war, however he contin ued, or if, in the course of events, it should become extended, and eventu ally the other great powers of Europe become parties to it, it must neces sarily be protracted, and in the end its wants may reach over this coun try, and a supply of provisions be call ed for from the United States. A bad crops in Europe, may also hasten .the period when assistance may be want ed from us. We have not heard or seen any speculations on the prospects of the approaching harvests in Europe, and therefore do not know what is to be expected there.—JY! Y. D. Adv. New-Haven, June 17. George Hoadley, Esq. late Presid ent of the Eagle Bank, was commit- ed to jail in this city on Wednesday last, at the instance of the acting A- gents of said Bank, upon the claim, we understand, of $1,500,000. Longevity.—'There are seventeen men living in the town of New-Haven, vyhose united ages amount to 1413 years. The average age of each in dividual is 83 years. In addition to these, there are twen ty-seven men whose united ages amount to 1971 years, and whose average age is 73 years. The average of the two together is about 77 years—Journal. .. The Pruth, so often mentioned of late, is a river of Moldavia, running for the first half of. its course, in a south easterly direction, and for the other half in a southerly, till it falls into the Danube from 80 to 90 miles above its mouth. . While the Pruth continues its southerly course, it div ides ancient Moldavia nearly in half; after taking its southern direction, it is the boundary between the princip ality and the Russian provinces of Bessarabia. As the Russian frontier now extend to the Pruth, the princip ally of Moldavia is no long it J Dniester, as it appears in r osl but has the Prutlr for its noith casern boundary, (not its north w sterna as stated in a New York journal-;) and the Russian armies lie, we presume, not in Poland, but in tlvat prrt of Mol davia on the left bank of tie Pruth, acquired by Russia. The i istauce to Constantinople from the confluence of the Pruth and Danube, to which point the Russian frontier e: tends,) is about two hundred and fifty Voiles by water and three hundred by land* in a direct line Muscular Strength.—'The muscular power of the human body is wonder ful. A Turkish porter will run along carrying a weight ofGOOlbs.; and Mi lo, of Croton, is said to have lifted an ox weighing lOOOlbs. Haller men tions that he saw an instance of a man whose finger being caught in a chain at the bottom of a mine, by keeping it forcibly bent, supported by that means the weight of his whole body, (1501bs.) till he was drawn uo to the surface, a height of 600 feet. Augus tus II, king of Poland, could, tvith his fingers, roll up a silver dish like a pa per, and twist the strongest hoise-shoe asunder; and a lion is said (Phil Trans. No. 310.) to have left the impression of his teeth upon a piece of solid iron. The most prodigious power of the muscles i3 exhibited by fish. A whale moves with velocity through the dense medium of water, that would carry him, if continued at the same rate, round the world in little more than a fortnight: and a sword-fish has been known to strike his weapon tirough the oak plank of a ship. Money Buried.—In 'Mar, 1821, a man named Joseph Galebo, a Portugueie, and a common beggar, was drowned irj Boston harbor, on the wreck of the sehoonir Olive Branch. After an inquest on the lody, ha was buried respectably in the stianger’s tomb in South Boston, where he slept qui etly till Tuesday last. On that diy, two foreigners called on Mr. Coroner Snow, and inquired about the deceased with great peculiarity, expressing a desire to know where he was buried, and Whether his clothes were taken oft’} after which, tley were referred to the sexton for permission to see his remains. He, probably, thinking that so pious and friendly a wish ought to be gratified, readilv opened the tomb and shewed them the coffin. The lid was open ed to the face, but that was not enough.— With various shrugs and winks and inti mations, they desired the whole cover of the coffin to be removed, when the anxious friends, without any squeamishness, thrust their unhallowed paws within the clothing which covered the decaying body, and, with the a id of a jack knife, wlipped out a belt that circled next thereto, very much corroded, out of which they enptmd about three pints of silver coin, leaving a consid erable quantity in the lower enl, where it was less corroded, supposed to he gold.— They quickly made oft’from the astounded sexton, leaving for his share of the booty the pleasure of replacing the colfm lid; since which time these strangers of fortunate memory have neitlurrbeen seen nor heard of in our citv of Boston.—Bost.

The Tuscaloosa Chronicle states that the Bank of the State of Alabama has given notice that it is determined -not to receive the notes of the bank of Mobile, either in payment, or depos- ite, in future. Indian Ladies.—At the Falls of St. Mary’s River, near Lake Superior, resides Mr. Johnson, the patriarch of the place, whose wife is a full blood, broad cheeked Chippeway, with the following pretty name, Oshaugusco- daywaygouh. She has three sons and four daughters, all carefully educated. Mr. Schoolcraft, a man of science, and a celebrated traveller, married the second daughter, who is a very ac complished woman. She dresses like fashionable ladies, except that’ she wears black silk leggins. She has a younger sister, who is a charming creature, and “would be a b6lle in Washington.” She sings Indian “like an angel,” and the chorus of one of her songs is, tee, yea, yea, hew, ha.— Mr. Johnson is rich—make* annually four tons of maple sugar, aid his wife cooks beavers’ tails, to a charm. Ifanp. Gaz. HEMLOCK. A very few of the countless varie ties of plants whose blossoms wave by the way side, or flourish on the mar gin of the stream, are to he avoided, or can be regarded without admira tion. One however, possesses most deleterious properties, and has been noted as poison from antiquity. Its easy and certain power of destroying life, have recommended it for use in prisons of arbitrary rule, from the tri bunal of the Athenian Areopagus, to the court of the Spanish Inquisition.— Its mild and lethargic operation have established it not only as the instru ment of the executioner, but the agent of suicide. A species of this plant, emigrating from Europe, is now com mon about road sides, and in waste grounds; especially in those parts of tie country which have long been set- ted. The frequent instances of de- j orable accidents resulting from its vie, show that its deleterious proper ty are unknown or too often neg- 1 cted. In general appearance the Rant has resemblance to the car- rtt when shooting up to seed. It is cfrmnoniy found in hunches and rises to«he height of four, live or six feet, ant produces clusters of minute fioters of dull white, from June to November. flr* Biglow speaks of the poisonous efietts ns very different on different indj/iduals; varying with the temper- nr/ent of the person, the age and Growth of the plant and other circum- qain:e3. Generally, dizziness, nau- Lsea, diminished power of vision, faint ness and muscular weakness are de scribed as the consequences of its op eration. This plant is often eaten by child ren either from carelessness or ignorance. The papers on our table contain two instances, where death has followed the dangerous repast.—■ While our legislature are proposing the destruction of the vegetable ene mies of the harvest, it would be well if they would take measures to exter minate these treacherous weeds creep ing round the habitations of man, to steal away life; and better still, if they were attacked by every person who discovers them intruding on the frontiers of his possessions.— Worces ter JEgis. Ostentatious Munificence.—A rich penurious old gentleman, of this coun ty, presented a clock, which cost $500 to the town in which he resides.— Some person, who knew how close the donor usually drew his purse strings, could not help expressing his wonder at this extraordinary act of munificence. “Why,” replied the old gentleman, “I like to bestow my money where I can hear it tickJ* How much money is there bestow ed from the same questionable motive, but without the like honest confession!
