ihdicarte tiial Mr. Adams was laboring
tinder mental derangement; and it was
doubtless in this state that he commit
ted the fatal act.
Mr. Adams was a son, we believe
the eldest, of the President of the U-
hited States, and was on a journey to
his father. He was from twenty-live
to thirty years of age—an attorney of
promising talents—and had been a
member of the Legislature of Massa
chusetts; but so far as we know, not
otherwise erigaged in a political life.—
The City Authorities are making all
proper elforts to obtain further infor-
jrtation on this nielancholy subject.—
p f he following is Capt. Bunker’s affi
davit in the case:
City of New Vorlc.— : Robert S. Bun
ker, Commander of the Steam Ship
Benjamin Franklin, being duly sworn,
fraith, That the said vessel arrived at
the fodt 6f Beekman-street this morn
ing about half past 5 o’clock.This morn
ing, off Throgg’s Neck, in Long Island
Sound, (as deponent presumes,) the
Said George W. Adams, then being
on the upper deck, (as deportent in
fers, and believes from his hat being
found there,) accidentally fell over
board. The deponent farther saith,
that he heard the said G. W. Adams
(as he believes) talking early this
morning very earnestly to himself) 1
and although deponent is under the
impression that the said G. W. Adams
was partially deranged in mind, yet
he believes that, from the position in
which his hat was found on the upper
deck, it is more than probable that he
fell accidentally overboard from the
upper deck of the said Steam Ship
Franklin, and was drowned.
ROBERT S. BUNKER.
Sworn 30th April, 1829, before me.
J. IIOPSON.
From the Cincinnati Pandect, April 21.
MR. CAMPBELL AND MR. OWEN.
The public debate on the truth or
falsity of Revealed Religion, appoint
ed some months ago to be held in this
place between these two gentlemen,
in consequence of a challenge given
by the latter and accepted by the for
mer, commenced on Monday, the 13th
inst. and was continued through the
whole Week. The audience attract
ed by the novelty of the scene and the
notoriety of the disputants, was large
and respectable* The Hon. Judge
Burnet, together with a bench of um
pires, presided. The debate was
conducted with great order and deco
rum throughout; with no other collis
ion than that of abstract opinions, and
the reasonings by which they were
supported. The exact points to be
argued had not been settled between
the parties at the outset; the conse
quence was scarcely any thing like
fairly joining issue through the whole
discussion. It was little more than
alternate leaving off and taking up a-
gain the chain of their respective ar
guments: Mr. 0. being intent on dis
playing the superlative glories of the
New Social System, and the omnipo
tence of “Circumstances,” & Mr. C.
labouring with equal zeal to establish
Christianity, which once proved true,
his opponents theory, and every other,
is turned into a mere doting chimera.
From the partial attendance we were
able to give the sittings, making due
allowance for partiality to the right
side, wo readily accord with the gen*
eral opinion expressed* that Mr.
Campbell had decidedly the advantage
over his opponent, and managed the
defence of the Christian cause, in an
able and interesting manner—showing
himself a skilful master of all the
tactics of disputation. On the whole,
we are not without hopes that the con
troversy may be followed with good
effects. The cause of revelation has
been clearly shown to be supported
by a vast body of conclusive evidence,
internal and external, and we are hap
py to be informed, that more than one
individual previously inclined to scep
ticism, or confirmed in it, have, during
the discussipn, had their doubts and
difficulties solved, and now express a
full conviction of the truth of Chris
tianity.
A short hand writer lids been em
ployed to take down the debate, the
whole of which will he published.
From the Rochester Daily Advertiser and
Telegraph.
“A living dog is better than a drunken
man.”
On the evening of the 8th inst. as
we were coming from Le Roy to this
place in the Pioneer, the night being
uncommonly dark, we discovered for
Some distance before we reached Al
len** creek, that a dog, unknown to
any passengers, was frequently run
ning about the sides of the carriage,
and evidently very uneasy, and seem
ing to look with deep interest, for
some notice from the passengers with
in. When wc had come within about
10 or 12 rods of the creek, the dog
got before the stage, and in the mid
dle of the road set up a most earnest
barking and crying, which attracted
the notice of the passertgers and dri
ver, who, apprehending that all this
concern of the strange dog might
mean something, stopped his horses,
and looking under his coach and with
in six inches of his wheel, saw a man
lyiiig across the path in such a posi
tion, that, had he drove two feet fur
ther, tile wheel must have passed di
rectly over the neck of the poor crea
ture and terminated his existence.--
The man was old and grey head
ed, and the secret of his exposure
was, lie was so drunk,that when arous
ed he could not speak. As soon as he
was drawn out from under the coach*
the faithful dog appeared in extaey of
joy; his first motion was to stretch
himself at full length upon his beastly
master fawning with more interest than
language can describe, then jumping
across his body, backward, and for
ward, as if to shield him from danger,
or to infuse animation Into his almost
lifeless body. We state these facts
for two reasons: first to show the
danger of rum, and secondly the sa
gacity of the animal; the faithful in
terest manifested by the dog could
not have been fully expressed, even if
he had the power of speech; and we
must add one word more to set the
disgusting drunkard before the reader;
he held in his hand the neck of a brok
en bottle.
P. S. There are eight living wit
nesses of the above facts, which hap
pened only two days since.
From the Portland Yankee.
Mr. Benjamin Titcoinb, Jun. a
preacher of the Gospel, a man of ex
traordinary talents and worth, is just
dead—aged 42; leaving behind him
one fact in his biography, of so much
value at this particular time, that ev
ery paper of our country should assist
in giving it circulation. It is this—
for six or eight years of his life, he
was a helpless and hopeless drunkard.
But he grew ashamed of wallowing
with the beasts that perish—got tip—
shook off the indurated filth of eight
long years—returned to life, as it
were—became a preacher of the Gos
pel, and to the last hour was an exam
ple of perfect and severe temperance.
Let no man be discouraged therefore.
At one time while he was studying
law with the present Chief Justice of
Maine lie was regarded, as beyond
all comparison, the cleverest young
man here. Yet he was a drunkard.
It was about this time that I knew
him: and I never knew a more hope
less case. There appeared to be no
way of reaching him. Ilis pride was
no more, his dignity, his self-respect,
his moral courage—hope itself, was
extinguished. Yet he awoke: and,
after years of heroic self-denial, died,
a sober and virtuous, and generally
respected man. After all, however,
his death proceeded from intemper
ance. The reformation, though it
came in season for his character,
came too late for his health: and lie
has gone down to a premature grave,
under the blasting and withering curse
that he voluntarily fastened upon him
self at a period when, if he had not
gone astray from the rocky paths of
high and peculiar virtue, he might
have been just what he pleased.
SLAVE TRADE.
This horrid and detestable traffic in
human flesh, it appears by the last
letters from Rio de Janeiro, has been
prosecuted by the people of Brazil
during the past year, with unremitted
activity. It is estimated by intelli
gent persons at Rio, that in the course
of the yeat 1828, forty thousand slaves
were brought from Africa to Brazil!!
In consequence of the determination
of the EmperOr of Brazil to suspend
the importation of slaves entirely af
ter the present year, extraordinary
efforts continued to be made by the
traders, to avail themselves of the
existing privileges. The demand for
specie, for the purchase of slaves,
had consequently been very great, and
this is one of the reasons assigned for
the continued depreciation of the cur
rency of Brazil.'
Advantages of Newspapers.—A per
son riding very rapidly yesterday
morning, was, when in the vicinity of
Fourth and YVood streets, thrown, by
the stumbling of his horse, violently
upon the pavement, his head coming
first in contact—by great good luck, a
quantity of newspapers had been de
posited in his hat for leisure reading—
a copy of the National Intelligencer,
National Journal, the United States
Gazette, and one or two others of e-
qual size—these served to break the
force of the fall; so that, though stun
ned and sadly bruised, he escaped a
fracture of the scull.—U. S. Gaz.
SUMMAB7.
Among the estimates for the pres
ent year, laid before the British House
of Commons, are 35,000/. for pay of
officers, and 24,000/. for other expen
ses, of the two houses of parliament;
—80,000/. for printing under acts of
parliament; 97,270/. for stationary,
printing, &c. for different public of
fices.
A manufactory at Tula, in Russia,
is said to employ 5000 men, and to
produce, annually, 700,000 stand of
fire-arms and 35,000 swords.
The Butchers in London met and
folmed a benevolent society for the
relief of their indigent brother cleav
ers, when about 5,500 dollars were
subscribed, alter which the party sat
down to a sumptuous dinner, at which
the ribs and barons of beef shone con
spicuously.
Several gentlemen in Manchester,
England, strongly recommend the ap
plication of raw Upland Cotijon, as a
positive relief in severe fits of the
gout.
According to Gadicke’s newest
Guide through Berlin, it contains 294
streets, 32 open places, 7,330 houses,
and 220,000 inhabitants. The garri
son is calculated to be rather less than
12,000 men. Every house where a
great man has died is especially men
tioned.
He that would gather the roses of
matrimony should wed in the May of
life. If you wish only the withered
leaves and thorns, why put it oti‘ till
September. “Procrastination is the
thief of time.”
The Canadian Printers are well
paid by the Government of that Pro
vince. For publishing the laws, proc
lamations, &.c. they me allowed a
dollar a square for the first insertion,
and four cents a line for each continu
ation.
A living Alligator was lately taken
near Savannah. Mis length is”l2 feet
4 inches, and his mouth opens to the
extent of 1 foot 4 inches.
Envy is an unworthy passion, and
unwillingly pays tribute to the object
of its dislike—^-for wc never envy those
we deem beneath us, or more ignor
ant, or less virtuous than we esteem
ourselves.
An individual iu Massachusetts has,
without making himself known, sent
to the Treasurer of North Carolina
two hundred and fifty family prayer-
books for distribution “among all the
members of government and courts of
justice.”
The Danville Telegraph snys that
there is a family in the county of
Rockingham, N. C. labouring under
4be Small Pox believed to have been
caught from a company of Indians
that passed the house. The head of
the family purchased of the Indians
some blankets, and probably other
things, which they had for sale; from
which it is believed the disease was
communicated.
The New England Farmer queries,
whether snuff and other preparations
of tobacco, applied to' vegetables, for
the purpose of destroying insects, do
not poison the plants?
A few days ago a remarkable dis
covery was made in a house at Cax-
ton, Cambridgeshire. One of the up
per rooms requiring some repairs, the
workmen, on taking up the floor, found
an old mail hag of the year 1702, con
taining a quantity of letters, all of
which were of course opened. They
were in a most perfect state. The
natural inference is that the landlord
ot the house, or, if he had lodgers,
some of them, were mail robbers of a
century back.—Eng. pap.
A Paris paper of Feb. 17 says
— “By an Act of the General Assem
bly of the state of North Carolina, a
new state has been formed in that part
of North America; it bears the natbe

T HF. Character of this, paper, it is pre-
sumed is so well known, that nothing
need be said on that point.. It was com
menced with a very limited subscription in
January, 1S27, and its patronage has ever
since been conlined almost exclusively to 1 he
Presbyterian and Congregational Churches
of this and the adjoniing States. A gradu
al increase of subscribers, together with
numerous and unexpected assurances that
our labors have been favorably regarded by
those whose good opinion it is an honor to
[ obsess, induces the hope that a subscription
paper iu tlie hands of its friends may prove
an efficient means of extending its ‘eircula
tion. If every individual, who takes a
pleasure in perusing the Observer, would
use but a slight rfloil to gain additional sub
scribors, we are persuaded that cur sub-'
scription list would soon be doubled.
The F.ditor, grateful for past encourage
ment. intends hereafter, devoting his whole
time to the paper, and will use every possi
ble eflbrt to render it still more interesting
and useful:—and for any assistance which
may he afforded him in the prosecution of
his laborious and responsible duties, he will
ever feel uufeignedly thankful.
The annual price of the Oi.sr.nvr.it to
city subscribers, is $8 50, in advance, or
$'4 if payment is delayed to the *nd of the
year—to country subscribers $3 in advance^
or $S 50 at the end of the year. Any per
son who shall obtain five new subscribers
on these terms, and become respon
siblo for them, shall be entitled to a copy
without charge. *
