least mark of violence could not be discover ed. From well authenticated facts, how ever, he believes that a blow may be given upon the stomach, which will extinguish life instantly—as quick as a flash of lightning— without having any mark of violence. A mortal blow inflicted upon the stomach, will not leave an external mark, unless life con tinues sometime afterwards. But should a { vessel be broken within, it would of course be discoverable His opinion was, that it was not at all improbable that the deceased » came to his death from a blow thus and there ‘ inflicted. Doctors Alexander Stevens ami » J. S. Rodgers, attended and assisted at iltiss examination. ; The testimony having been concluded, ihe|t room was cleared of spectators ; ami after al“ few minutes deliberation, the Jury returned 1 the following verdict, viz,: “ Flint the de { ceased came by his death in consequence of 1 a blow or blows inflicted by James Buckland, 1 William Walker, Joseph Wade, Noah Dore- , mus, Moses Parker, gliomas A. Rea, Abra- 1 ham Potts, and one person unknown, be tween the hours of, I and 2 o’clock, on the | k morning of the 3d of June, 1825, in Broad way near Art-street, in the city of New-. ' York.” In consequence ol the disclosures which ' ore voluntarily made by Thomas Rea, one of the gang, officers were sent in puisuit of thereat, and soon returned with Moses Par ker. aged 19 years, residing at No. 28 Chari ton-street.; William Walker, aged 21, re siding at 134 Chamber-street; Abraham Potts, aged 20, residing at 197 Spring-j street: Cornelius H illy, ag*d 19, residing} in Sullivan street; Joseph Wade, aged 21, residing at 21 Vandam-street; and James Buckland, aged 20, residing at 9 Charlton > street, who, after examination before tbe police office, together with Thomas Rea,! aged 17, were committed to prison. The eighth hoy, the last qf the party, (Noah Dore mus,) surrendered himself to the watch yes-] terday evening, The whole gang are now in custody, to await their trials at the next: sitting of the Court of Oyer and Terminer. They are all young men, and most of them are apprentices to, or work at, some mech anical business. Tho Editors of the New-York American pay the following just tribute to the memory of Mr. Lambert. “Connected with him by long acquain tance, by the ties of friendship and of family, we can bear witness to the irreparable loss which those who claimed him as a son, a brother or a friend, have sustained in |us death. “ By the commercial community, of which he was a distinguished member, he will long be lamented. He has not left behind him a more enterprising, persevering, and honora ble merchant. “ By the city at large he will be regretted as a man ot most useful ambition, who in the various improvements he has projected and executed, never lost sight, in the pursuit of private interest, of the public good. “ By an aged and widowed mother—by bereaved sisters—by brothers to whom he has been as a father —by a vast family con nexion, he will be mourned as one, who, in each and every of these relations, was ex emplary, alfectionate. and self-denying, as few have ever been. From all these endear ing ties, these manly duties, he has been un timely snatched, and in the fulness of his usefulness, in the enjoyment of health, as fluence and universal consideration, he has been hurried to the tomb. The sun which set last night upon a happy, joyous and con fident human being, rose this morning on a lifeless corpse I” WARM AND VA%UR BATHING. We are pleased to see the efforts which ace making to render the custom of bathing more general in this country, because we are j fully convinced that tbe practice conduces more than almost any other thing to the pre servation and the restoration of health.— , With respect to the vapour bath, we feel convinced that, in many cases, arising from the obstructed prespiration and in a variety of diseases to which the natives of our ever varying climate, are particularly liable, it is a most efficacious remedy. Some prejudi ces however still exist, upon the subject of warm and vapour bathing, which operate against their becoming as general in this country as in many other parts of the world. ( It is a prevailing opinion that it is dangerous I to venture into the cold air soon after having I usecj the warm baths. Nothing can be more unfounded or contrary to experience, than this apprehension ; as the fact is, that the human body, after having been subjected to \ a high temperature of water or vapour, is better enabled to cndui ea very low one than j it was greviously to such immersion; and | although it is true tha, a rapid transition from cold to heat, is highly dangerous, and often fatal, it is a well-ascertained fact that the human body can without detriment, or even much inconvenience, pass from great tt heat to intense cold, and that when inured {I by habit, it can endure a sudden transition M from the temperature of boiling wate: to that {£' of freezing water. — Lon.

AUGUSTA : FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1825. The following valuable Presentments of | the Grand Jvky of Chatham county, are . recommended to the notice of our readers; ( We present the great necessity of establishing within the , enclosure of the County Goal, a Tread Mill, advocating its in t siitulion as a means ol punishment, and also us a matter of ti ll lily to the Prison. We consider that n majority ol all the slaves imprisoned, \\\ the course of a year, are runaway ne- • groes. detained in goal wailing the rail of the o\\ nets ; these, ‘ with a few belonging to the cily, constitute all generally found in confinement. Negroes remaining in a condition of positive idleness, having subsistence sm need without labor, feel their si- . tuatiuu infinitely better than if at work ; no motives for change are presented, and instead of imprisonment being found a sain- , Uty check to their absenting themselves from their owners, the j first cmllinemtnl only leads to an indifference, if not a desire j c for another. A building of a market bouse like structure, with-1 w in the enclosure of the gaol-yar. , a tread mill, connecting with < tbe latter a corn grist-mill, could be erected tor the sum of §ISOO, j* - capable ot grinding all the corn flour necessary for the use of the 1 j goal, and would jeavo a surplus for sale to the people of the city. I Ihe whole establishment could he managed by negrous, with ' | the exception only of one white man. as a superintendent, to regulate the periods of labor, and see that order and regularity were maintained. We lament that the accumulating evidences of the many imperfections of our Judiciary System, should not have taught our Legislators, belore now, the necessity for its revision. j The tr also! appeal cases under the present constitution of our Courts, are calculated rather to perpetuate error, than to i correct it. No Judge, however learned, no Jury, however in- i lelligenl, but what must frequently decide upon incorrect prin- - cJpies—-and the same Judge presiding on the final trial as on the j« first, without an appeal to another tribunal to correct an tmpro* i per verdict—that Judge too. required during the progress of the I trial to decide instanter upon the many important points of Law, which may be involved in it, without the tune to c nsult au-' ( ‘ thorities, and without any associate with whom to confer, is vesting him with a power over the rights of Ike citizen, which must he productive in many cases of wrongs which cull loudly for redress. The Chancery powers too with which our Common Law Courts are invested, arc calculated to prove embarrassing and ■ injurious. A Court of Chancery and a Court of Appeals, would remedy those evils, and we urge it upon our Representatives, to j use their unceasing endeavors to obtain these desirable objects. The Honorable Daniel P. Coox, of Il linois has been lied to the whipping post, scourged , hung, shot and burned! by his j constituents. We mean, of course, in ef figy i for bad he been made subject in pro •jpria persona to the series of punishments just enumerated, we should have headed our article with “ Horrible !” “ Shocking !” , “ Dreadful!”—or some other word of pow er to excite the ahs I and ohs ! of senti mental readers. This method of punish -1 ing the effigies for the real person, is not without its conveniences ; for treat a man * of straw as you will, murder cannot be , committed, and tbe natural body is per * fectly free from agony and pain, while the } artificial one is enduring all the horrors of a peine forte et dure. Mr. Cook’s offence was i deluding his constituents with a promise of t voting for General Jackson, and giving the 1 vote ol the state to Mr. Adams—and sad ly has he been basted, tousled and roasted I for it. What may however affect the Hon. i Gentleman more than a burning by repre- I sentation, is a resolution which reads in 1 these words : Therefore Resolved, by the votes of Uqion county, that DAN f IF,L P. COOK, the representative of the slate of Illinois in £ Congress, has forfeited all claim to their confidence, and viola fed the most sqUn\n pledge that was ever made to mankind 1 he * has in the contest for president, grossly misrepresented their wishes and V9led different from the way in which he told the?n he would vote, when they honored him with their suffrages. Alter so strong a manifestation of the $ ° feelings of his constituents, it may be sup . posed that Mr. C. will retire to bis domes s tic shades in Illinois, or into some office to be provided by the General Government as ’ a reward for suffering fidelity. l We have read the report of a Select Com mittee upon the subject of state rights with some attention, but as it was not adopted by ( the Legislature of Georgia, it is scarcely ne cessary to remark upon it. We will how ! ever say, that strongly as we think the sub jects to which it relates should be placed ' before tbe General Government, and great I as lias been tbe provocation to the people of , the south, afforded by some of the northern r presses, and by the recent appointment of a ■ minister to London—tbe time has not yet * arrived when we should even dream of aban p doning a Government whose destruction . would overwhelm the world in night. The i people ot the United States are possessed of * good sense, and they love fair play in an * eminent degree—they will soon perceive the |i nature and tendency of such measures as are i intended to humiliate the south, and we *1 doubt not will every where resist them ; *1 "ot indeed with swords and muskets—but *!by that invisible ami in a free country, I j most powerful agent, public opinion. In I I the mean time let the Governors and I public officers speak out, and the presses re ■ mark fearlessly upon the abuses of the time. Mhena New York senator proposes to con- I stitutea fund from our public lands to aid i emancipation—let him be told that the con 1 stitulion gives no warrant to such a propo sition—that lie is a miscliict maker, and! throwing a fire brand amongst us. When! the President appoints this man to a hignl honorable and responsible station, let the in j.iignant feelings of the south condemn the 1 selection, and make their way to the ear ol the chief magistrate in a strain of plain and 1 republican npn hension. When the editors! of the National Gazette and York A ner-| lean callus “ slave states”—and insultin'*--i 15 I ly tell us that the “sceptre has departed from Judah, and those who have long ruled, a must be content to obey,” let us reply to j them, that they hold false doctrines, that the , ( sceptre does not shift hands so long as the j constitution remains—that the President is but the servant of the people a?ul not a mon arch, and that we are bound in obedience » only to the laws. If the President himself ™ broach and attempt to enforce unhallowed doctrines—let us point them out, and warn him of the consequences. In a word it is our duty to be frank and just, adhering al ways so closely to the line of right as to put our antagonists in the wrong—and if the time shall ever come when the constitution is as sailed by violence and power, let Georgia be found clinging to the Union and protecting its great charter with her best efforts. ' Savannah, June 14. « •More Speculationl —An express is said t to have arrived yesterday from the North, announcing another rise of Cotton in the Liverpool market—Upland is said to have arrived at as high a price as 2s. —this, how ever, is merely report—as such we give it. In our next we shall probably be enabled to furnish the intelligence. £ Georgian . The public are cautioned against altered notes of the Bank of the State of Georgia, and of the Bank of the State of South-Caio lina, which are in circulation, and some of which have been detected. The for mer are of the denomination of Jive dollars altered from one, and the latter are ones altered to two. The operation appears to have been performed with a pen, and may easily be detected. [lbid. The following resolution has passed both blanches of the Legislature. We publish it that it may be acted on at as early a period > as possible. Whereas, it was a practice among the in habitants of the colony and province of Geor gia, to publish from time to time, authentic ■ accounts of their condition; and, whereas, ; it would be highly expedient to revive acus t tom, which would result in benefits, not to present residents of the state only, but even ! perhaps to their most remote prosterity ; ■ therefore, ; Resolved, That the Justices of the Inferi t 01 ‘ Court, be, and they are hereby, requested, } to furnish his Excellency the Governor, for the use of the citizen appointed to collect the 1 Historical Documents, on, or before the first : Monday in November next, with informa tion generally, respecting their several coun- I ties, and particularly as to th« following points : 1.

The boiler of the steam-boat Legislator, ‘ burst at the wharf at N. V. on the 2d inst. -by which the cook of the boat, a fireman, I and a waiter are known to be killed, and a (. boy is missing. Several passengers amoVig p about one hundred on board, were scalded, and one of the hands dangerously. The 1 alarm among the passengers was so great, that a lady, with her two children leaped t from the cabin widow, and fortunately es caped without injury. The cause ol the accident is unknown. [lbid. : It is stated in the Post of Saturday eve ning that Mr, Noah, editor of the New i York National Advocate, has purchased 'Grand Island, for the purpose of establish ing thereon a colony of Jews, who will thus - be beyond the reach of European oppres -1 sion. A laudable attempt is making in North t Carolina, to suppress the immoral practice which has hitherto prevailed in some parts ol that state, of Candidates for political pre ferment, treating the people, during the canvas, with spirituous liquors. One hundred and fifteen Highlanders have arrived at Montreal from Greenock, to settle in the township of M‘Nab, in Ot-I taway. It is stated as fact, that the body of a 1 drowned man was found and raised to the) surface of the Schuylkill river, on 'J’ueodayl last, by (jutting three ounces of quicksilver |iii a small paper box, that box in another, 1 I and then putting the whole in a loaf of . vvneat bread, carefully pasted over with tmek pa->te, well dried to prevent the water' Irom getting in. It was then placed in tie, river about 6(J feet from where a previous " experiment was made, 6c in ten minutes it reached the spot, when the body of the man! „ (immediately appeared three feet from the 1 (loaf, and the latter disappeared.
