C. died before he could reach his boarding-house; another, James Hector, of Lanainburgh, died imme diately after; and the lit; nf young Heer mance, of Albany, was saved by the opera tion of a powerful emetic. The root (liey had eaten, and belived to be spikenard, pro ved to be tValer Hemlock, which it seems is one of the moot active vegetable poisons pro duced in our climate. Young Davidson was preparing to enter college in the fall, he was a youth of great promise, the only child ol his mother, and she is a widow. May that Wj&ffWS “who tempers thewind to the shorn her unMHhts heart-rending bereavement. In addition to the above accident, we find the following in the Montreal Comant: Died, in Bridgewater, Mass. Miss Olive Keath, au:ed 23. She was troubled with the tooth ache, and was urged by her mother to wet some cotton with the essence of pepper mint; not finding that, she took what she called the essence of tanzy, but, by mistake, the oil of She wet the. cotton so much, that a drop escaped, and she swal lowed it. She was immediately in great pain until she died. The body was exam ined, and the intestines were found des troyed. We congratulate, our fellow printers throughout the union, on the.consumation of their wishes. The new post-office regula tions, as passed by the late Congress, will doubtless meet with their free and hearty concurrence. We have not *ime nor room to enter into particulars. The most prom inent, and to us, by far the most interesting, items, are those which regulate the convey ance nf newspapers. Pt inters are expressly authorised to send printed or written notes of thrir accounts to subscribers, instead of being prosecuted therefor, as has been at tempted, and a fine of fifty dollars will be imposed on the postmaster detaining any newspaper from its owner, or taking a peep, as the National Intelligencer expresses it, into any package not intended for his office. —*>«•«.- Trade and Commerce. —We understand, says the Manehesler Courier, th.it,widtin the last week, many of the principal Manufac turers at Bolton, have advanced the wages of then weavers Is. per cut. Messrs. Orm rpd and Hardcastle are now paying 9s, 6d. per cut for the 6 4 60 red cambric, 120 pks. in inch, 24 yards in length ; this may be considered the medium fabric, Within the last 3 weeKS short wools have risen from 30 to 40, and long wools from 50 to 60 per ct with every prospect of a farther advance.— As a consequence of this, blankets, and, in deed, all goods made from the coarser kinds of ou'- native fleeces, have already risen full 10 per cent, with cloths, the product nf j comb'd wool, have experienced an advance of nearly double the amount Ton has again! adhanced. It is now double the price it was in Dec. 1823. Liverpool Paper. The Soldier and the Poet. --" It is odd en »ugh,” said hard Byron, dluding to Col. S i.thop ’s zealous oersev mine; in e-ta!)

INDISTD CONSTITUTIONALIST, i AUGUSTA- | * FRIDAY. APRIL 8, 1825. 1 | _J t We cannot but congratulate ourselves on 1 the quiet state of public feeling among us. j There seems to be nothing for us, now, to | quarrel about, if we were so disposed.it Our brethren at the north are making a I great ado about Mr. Clay’s treachery, and 1 Gen. Jackson’s conversation, and Mr. Kre- mer’s letters (which by the bye, seem to be written for him) and forty other matters; while we, like Gallio of old, “ cate for none 1 iif these things.” There is something that smells much stronger of fadian than of j principle, in endeavoring to embroil they country in quarrels about an election which 1 is over. Mr. Adams is, constitutionally,!® President of the United Stales. The great j t first principle of our government requires that we acquiesce in his being so. If indi- a viduals have violated their own judgment, " and gone counter to the wishes of their con- | stituents in electing him ; it is a matter be- { tween them and their own consciences and j their own constituents. The nation has \ nothing to do with it. Why, then, try to 1 stir up a groundless opposition to the pre-ij sent administration, a priori ? Is it not , best to see what it will attempt, before we t condemn it ? Our country’s welfare is to_• be promoted by the measures of the gov-! 1 eminent; not by merely havi tig. or not hav- , ing, particular individuals in office, without f reference to what they will do. Mr. Adams I is yet to be tried. We have him, and can* 1 not get rid of him. Look to his adminis- ( tration ; and by his deeds, let him be justi fied or condemned. Men out of place, who would prefer being in, are ever ready 1 to cry, “ the republic is in danger.” These 1 very men are the most dangerous, after all. While gaping for the “ loaves and fishes,” they are glori us patriots. Stuffthem with t places and salaries, and their Argus eyes 1 are closed forever. Now, if (he admirers, of Gen. Jackson are determined to support j, him, at the next Presidential election, let | them do so, and elect him if (hey can. But '■ they must excuse us, who never did and ne ver can consider him a proper person for the office, if we do not join in a clamor against Mr. Adams, only to serve their purposes. i —- We understand fiv private letters from Charleston, that the Faculty of the Soutli- Carolina College of jPhysicians and Sur geons, have by unanimous resolution, con ferred the Honorary degree of Medical ; Doctor upon the Hon.

When our last paper was published, (says i the Savannah Georgian,) the letter ba>' of the E nilv had notbeen delivered at the Post- t ,| Office. Among her letters were some writ- t ten on the afternoon of the 23d of February, | containing advices of another advance in l cotton, during that day, and the probability, i of a still further increase in price.—The t present spring has opened with a golden ,i prospect for the planters who have retained their crops. Expresses, we understand, were despati he’d by land and water, to Au gusta, New-Orleans and Mobile, with the ' 1 intelligence, for the purpose, we suppose, of i again scouring the markers of the we-t. The 1 following is a copy of one of the letters allud- i ed to : ‘ i Liverpool 23d February, 1825. i We continue to experience an immense demand for cotton. Speculators are active, ami consumers alarmed at the limited a- 1 mount of stock, and slow airival of supplies, are buying freely. Upwards of 50,000 bags ■ have changed hands during the last ten day s,! and this is more than halt tie stock. Good! Boweds are sel ing at 12? d and we now quote them at 11 a 13d.

[ Sentinel. ■■■•s»•—- MACON BRIDGjE. A model fir the bt idge about tob« erected across the Ocmiilgee in this town, lias been' t lopt dby tbe Commissioners. Five mo dels were submitted m» them bv the differ -1 ent architect-, all of winch undoubt diy had! their peculiar excellencies, and were very neat specimens of woik.uanship. The one mct print which was adopted was made by Mr. flig ginsua of liis town, upon the principle of Town’s patent, and undoubtedly possesses great advantages for simplicity, strength, and convenience in repairing over any other kind of wooden bridge that has yet been in vented. As a proof of its great strength, to those who are unacquainted with the principles upon which it is constructed, we, would mention that the budge is perfectly 1 level, and requires no other support than! the abutments. It is proposed however to build a pier in die centre fit, although it is deemed bv good mechanics lo be unneces sary. The time of Letting the building of the bridge is on the loth April. [Misaenger. Charleston, April 5. Extract of a letter, dated Havre, February 17, 1825. “ We enclose for your information a printed statement of the importation, con- 1 sumption, &c. of Cotton in France, made up to the end of 1834, with that of 1823 shows an increase of consumption during the last year of 71,000 bales. Our stock on the Ist inst. was-- 9000 biles of United States growth, 5600 have been imported since, making 14,600 from which deduct 3,300 biles sold since the same period, and our slwck this dav will appear to be I 1,300 bales which is very small for die season of the year. Not knowing the extent of the supplies we may expect from the United St vies it is impossible to speak with certainly as to the future prices, but from the foregoing cir cumstances, and the continued flourishing state of our manufactories, we think it fair to infer that we shall have an active demand throughout the season, that our prices will be fully equal, if not superior to those | of Liverpool, especially as the first news of the rise being received from that place, a greater proportion of thfe shipments may have been directed to England and conse quently to this country than usual. Rice is in fair demand at 35 a 36f—duty 6f. 40 paid. —oo*4 The celebrated Lorenzo Dow, is holding meetings at Newburvport, where he attracks crowds of people to hear him. New Youk, March 28. Steam-Boat Disaster. — We have receiv ed from a passenger the following account of ihe disaster of the Steam Boat U, S. capt. Brooks.—“ We left New-Haven for New- Yorkat 8 o’clock on Friday morning, the (storm had commenced but a few hours be fore, and on getting into t.ie Sound, the I sea was very rough, and shortly after the larboard shaft broke ; capt. Brooks with his sails, then endeavoured to gel the boat into Black Rock Harbour—at 11 o’clock, finding the gale increasing, and a heavy sea, he brought tlie boat to, with three anchors down, unable to get her within the harbour* at 13 o’clock it wit" fuutit) She diugged Kef anchors ; fears were entertained that she would go ashore on a point of rocks, and endanger the lives of all on board—soon af-| ter daylight ihe wind changed, and the boat went ashore on the beach, opposite Fairfield, and all on board landed in safety. An ex press was immediately despatched to New llaven for assistance to get her off.” -®o©- Canal of Amsterdam. —The now canal ot Amsterdam, forming a communication from the ocean lo that great commercial cit y, exceeds in dimensions any similar work in Great-Britain. A 44 gun frigate appears to have already made the passage with Suc cess ; and it also appears there is sufficient capacity for even a ship of 80 guns. The projected canal from Portsmouth is calcula ted for ships of the line, and, if executed, might vie with tins canal of Amsterdam in depth and width, and in length would ex ceed it in the proportion of 100 to 30 miles. The Circulator. Statue of Napoleon.-—We. learn from Mr. Memes’ intere- ing “ Memoirs of Ca nova” just published that the celebrated Satue of Napoleon, by I’anova, was pre sented by the French Ring to the British Government, bv whom it was subsequently given, says Mr. Memes, “ to the Duke of Wellington, in whose house in Piccadilly it now stands— -below a stair—where it not only cannot be seen to any advantage, but where it is exposed to all manner of acci dents.”---'This is just what might be ex pected from the lucky Commander at Wa terloo.---Napoleon below the stairs of Wel lington ! “To what base uses may wc come at last, Horatio?” -aQo~ The Elephant. —Wiiile breakfast was getting ready, 1 amused myself with look ing at a baggage elephant, and a few cam els which were in the act ot loading. The intelljgeiit obedience of the Elephant is well ;known ; but to look upon this huge and 'powerful monster kneeling down at the I mere bidding of the human voice, and, when he had risen again, to see him protrue his trunk for the foot of hia mahout, or attend ant, to help him into his seat, or, bending the joint of Ins hind leg, make a s'ep for him to climb up behind , and then; if any loose cloth or cauls fall off, widi a doglijf.e docility, pick them iip wi,h his probocis and put them up again ; will delight and sur j rise long alter it ceases to be novel. When lodged, this creature broke off a large branch from the lofty tree near which he -•nod, and quietly fanned and fly-flapped 'himself with all the nonchalance of an indo lent woman of fashion, till die camels were ready.
