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 of Macon!!” tkj; kta is, 1829. 1 ts jy/i 1829.

CHARLESTON OI5» SESMTER. 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. * Charleston, S C. April 18-70.
