informed of the circumstance, went out to the spot ami without | much ceremony shot the offender, who submitted to his fate Without * murmur, and we understand assisted very cooly in Jj placintr the gun to his breast. This mode of punishing offences of this nature probably is ? not uncommon among savages, but it appears singular, that the i man on whom the assault whs committed should also be con demned to suffer death because he was wounded. In this case ,1 the wounded Indian was likewise shot, and both were buried in . the same hole.” Telescope . -«9s§§e*~ Spanish Proscriptions. —We learn that * Augustin de Letamendi, Consul of Spain ' tor East Florida, appointed by the Consti-;' tutional Government to reside at St. Augus- s tine, has been condemned to death at Mad- I rid, by the inexorable tyrant who now rules ' with blood-thirsty vengeance unhappy d Spain. The charges preferre<l against Mr. 1 Letamendi were, his having been engaged 1 in a rencontre which took place in the capital 1 between a party of Constitutionalists and;' the Royal Guard, on the 7th of July, IBS'S and also in disseminating free principles]! during the revolution, as the editor of ai paper entitled the Madrid Gazette. For-1 1 tunately for this gentleman he is not with-!' in the reach of Ferdinand, having came to I this country on the annihilation of liberty' in Spain, and is now, together witli his vvifel and brother, residing in this city.

Accident. —During me squall on Saturday noon last, a drogher was upset in Cooper ri ver. Several negroes who were on the deck at the time, saved themselves by getting on her bottom, but wc are sorry to learn, that Mrs. Seauly and her servant who were in the cabin were drowned. A gentleman who observed the wreck floating in Hog Is land creek took some hands with him, went to it and cut into the cabin, where he found the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers.— We hear that the wind blew with great vio lence, for a short time, some miles out of town, and has levelled trees, fences, &c. There has been an unusual number of thunder storms this summer, and most of them have been accompanied with very se vere flashes of lightning. [ Chr . Mercury. 11 '■ Two negro fellows named Friday and Ju ly were lately tried hi a Court of Magis trates and Freeholders, for breaking open and burning the house of Mr. Wilson in this district. The owners not having timely no tice to defend the case, they were convicted on the testimony of a negro woman, on whom was found some of the plundered goods, which she said were received from the prisoners, without being able to prove any of the facts, and sentenced to have each of their right ears cutoff and banished from the State, or forfeit 500 dollars each. They are n. win gaol, awaiting the execution of their sentence to be inflicted the latter part of this month, unless the Judges grant a new trial. We understand that a petition has been sent to tiie Governor for a reprieve by a respectable number of the inhabitants of this town. — Georgetown Gazelle. —lfltm The weather of late has been so favora ble as to improve all kinds of crops, parti cutarly corn.

New Post-Offices, —Since the first of Januarv last no less than 276 new Post-Of- Jices have been established ; of these 56 are in the state of New-York. One of the great western mails, formerly transported but three times a week, has been made a daily mail; and other arrangements, equally val uable, have been made to facilitate the ar rivals and departures of the mail in other sections of the Union, Yet, notwithstand ing these additions to the annual expendi ture, the revenue of the Post-Office De partment, which has for some years past, been inadequate to the expenditure, will this year, it is expected, in consequence of the new modes of business, introduced by tiie present Postmaster General, be fully equal to the expenses, and will probably somewhat exceed them.

New-York, July 16. THE WEATHER. From all directions, we hear of the ex treme heat of the weather during the three first days of this week, and the melancholy consequences of drinking cold water when heated. The Boston papers all speak of the severe effects of the weather, and sun ■ of them furnish thermometncal observations from the states of New*-Hampshire and) Maine, which show the heat to have beenl several degrees more, than in this city. 1 The Courier of Thursday says— «< \Ve have not been übie to state ex ici | ly the number of deaths that have be -n oc-j casioaed the extensive heat, or from in , prudence in drinking col l water. Fo o the best information we can obtain the num ber is not less than twenty !—[The Gazette | states the number to be from 25 to 30, and gives the names of most of the deceased] chiefly among the laboring classes, and those persons who were at work in situations pe- ] culiarlv exposed. There were nine per sons died in Broad-street, within a period ( of twenty-four hours. These were Irish ( emigrants. To persons who are accustom- s ed to passing through this street and ob- j serving the mode in which these people live, , perhaps this mortality will nut be surpris- ( ing. They live chiefly in cellers; often- | times fifteen or twenty in a room, the at- \ mosphere of which is infected by all sorts ( of impurities. They are altogether with- , out prudence, and seem, some of them, to i iwant the instinct mat preserves the healthi lof the brute creation. An incident was re- jj dated to us last evening by a gentleman , jwhose means of knowing the fact are am-|< 1 pie, which illustrates the singular improvi- i plence of this class of our city’s population, i ; A man died in one of the cellars on Tues-i] 'day evening ; his fellow borders opened his] jtrunk and found that it contained twenty- 1 , Iseven dollars in cash.—They watched with ] I the corpse and had an Irish wake ; spent . the whole money for spiritous liquors; and , in the morning asked for subscriptions of i money to pay the funeral expenses of their, dead companion.” |i There are between sixty and seventy physicians in Boston, whose services it is | said were in active requisition. One of them had thirteen cases, us which three died. Two men died at Lechemer’s Point. The Gazette says the city on Wednesday were a solemn appearance—the funeral hearse was seen moving in every direction. Most of the workmen employed in buildings, were compelled to leave their work. Several fine horses on the Providence line of stages, died from the heat Com. Ado. Something New. —Yesterday a fellow with a tolerable red face, who was deter mined to avail himself of the hot weather for ' a special purpose of his own, approached one of the pumps and after holding his ’mouth to the spout and apparently drinking ' to great excess was observed to fall down, as was supposed, in a dreadful fit. He was immediately raised and carried into a neigh bouring grocery, where he was washed with brandy, and plentifully supplied with the same ingredient internally. After a suffi cient quantity had been administered, the patient gradually recovered, and rescued, i as it was believed, from the jaws of death, departed on his way. About two hours aflervvards, a similar occurrence took place. The unhappy man was taken to some adjacent spot, the usual applications were administered, and the re novated patient about to take leave, when some person passing by, discovered that the individual was tiie identical drinker that had suffered shortly before. \_Statesman. At no period within our recollection, has tiie bustle of business been so great as it now is at our ship-yards. There are build ing at the different yards, two line of battle ships, two frigates, and two sloops of war, which are, we believe, intended for the Co lombian and Mexican Governments. A Colombian line of battle ship is undergoing repairs. In addition to the above, there are 12 merchant vessels of different descriptions on the stocks, and eight steam boats.—Two frig ates and two sloops of war are also on the stocks at the Navy Yard. [ Gazette. The Providence (R. I.) G zette says; Monday was the wannest day which had| been experienced in that town for several 1 years. In the shade, the thermometer,!' between 1 and 2 o’clock, P. M. stood at; 995. At sunrise, the heat was very op pressive. On Tuesday, at 4, P. M. the mercury stood at 96, in the shade. The Providence (R. I.) Patriot says the ex • ] cessive heat on Sunday and Monday last, was fatal to the fish in Brush Pond, near Masha paug Pond, in Cranston. This pond is a- ] bout three acres, and the water between two j or three feet in depth—yet, so intense was! the heat, th .t all the fish therein were Buffo- | cated. Several hundred perch, pickerel, &c.!j some weighing a pound and a half were found] • floating on the surface of the water, and large'; quantities were taken from the bottom, with ] out any signs of life. The poet, therefore, [was not dealing in the impossible, when he said, “ the fishes beginning to sweat ” &c. ] Norwich, (Conn.) July 13. We have never known more extreme hot and oppressive weather, titan we have had , tor a few days past. The exhaustaiion and ( languor, the listlessness and incapacity for | employment, have been universal. Those engaged in out-door labor, have been most- . ly obliged to desist from the fatigue occa- | sioned by the excessive heat. The thennom- . eters vary according to their different situa- , tions, from 92 to 112 degrees. We believe , the most correct, when placed in the shade in an airy part of the town, gave a result of 95 degrees. To preserve health, we recoin ■ mend temperance in eating and drinking, and we would particularly caution all a gainst the too frequent of cold water. Dover, (N. J.) July 12. I O .

Mr. Editor, Seldom lias the pen of friendship been I called on to record a more melancholy 1 chain of afflictions, than has within a few 1 short days visited the family of our worthy 1 fellow-citiz.cn, Col. John JV. Hunter, His daughter, Mrs. Caroline Mqtilda, wife of Col. H. fV. Schovell, while on a visit to 1 her father and mother In this city, and af ter a long and distressing illness, died on the 23d inst. regretted aird mourned by all who knew her. She was in the pride of | youth and lovliness, cut oft' in the 27th year of her age. What renders this dis-i pensation still more afflicting, is the cir- | cumstance of her bereaved husband's ab- | sence at the North upon business, under the confident hope, at his departure, of re- i turning to find her restored to health and her family. But we are called on to announce the death of another member of (he same fami ly,still more distressing, if possible, because 1 so sudden and unlocked for. In the death of Mr. John Mucky, (who had married ano ther daughter of this amiable family,) the youthful society of our city have felt a shock [they are scarcely able to realize, & have suf-i sered a chasm in their feeling that time will hardly be able to fill. How much greater then must be the void created in those bo soms that were connected to him by the nearest, the dearest and most sacred ties ! they alone can answer who have endured the same afflictions. Mr Mucky wrote the notices for Mrs. Sc ho veil's funeral on Sa turday; and the Monday morning following, some friendly hand was employed in the same sad office for himself. He died on the 25th inst. in the 24th year of his age. Never has the warning voice of death been more sudden and terrific than in the present instance, few victims, in the do mestic circle, have fallen before his sweep ing scythe, more beloved and lamented. This estimable young man emigrated to this State from Ireland, his native country, when a small boy. His uncle Capt. John fVillson, under whose care and adoption he lived, gave him the best education our city admitted, and bred him a merchant. At his sleuth, he left him a handsome estate, upon the enjoyment of which he had just entered under the most flattering and hap py circumstances. No man ever seem ed to enjoy Ids family and friends more than he did. He was noble, open —gener- ous and amiable. He seemed to possess all the pure and elevated feeling of the Irish gentleman’, and joined to it the intenseness of the American Patriot. He was univer sally beloved—universally lamented. And society vill long continue to sympathize with his afflicted and amiable young widow and connections in their irreparable loss. He was interred with Masonic and Mili tary honors—and the long train of friends and citizens who joined in the last honors to his memory, bear the strongest testimony to the high estimation in which they held him. A FRIEND. V"' 1 COMMUNICATED. Departed this life on Saturday the 9th ins', at the Salt Sulphur Springs, Virginia, of a pulmonary disease, Mr. Thomas M- Dow all, a native of Wigton-shire, Scot land, aged 33 years. Mr. M‘ Do wall, had for many years been a respected inhabitant of this city, and in ;the discharge of the relative duties which Ihe owed to his God and to society, but few (could claim pre-eminence.—He emigrated | to this country in 1812, where he enjoyed !uninterrupted health until the fall of 1817, I when his constitution guttered repeated jshocks, from the prevalent disease of that (season, and from which he never after final ly recovered—flattered however by the ! prospect of returning health, he shortly jafter laid the foundation of his future en joyments in life, by a union with an amia ble and interesting young lady of this city, ■who is thus by the fiat of Heaven, left be hind him, a widow with three young and helpless children, to mourn over her lire (parable loss.—During the early part of last isummerhe visited Scotland, with the hope, that his native air would prove an antidote to his disease; but its seeds were too deep ly rooted; and having soon become sensi ble of its inefficiency, he returned to this country during the winter; after suffering, (under great debility of body,) all the hard ships and peril consequent on a shipwreck of the vessel at sea, in which he first em barked. Mr. M‘Do wall had early in life, become a member of the Christian Church, and an , humble and pious believer in the doctrines and precepts of its great founder, and when the powers and faculties of his mind had | developed themselves, they were unceasing ly exerted in the maintainance of the doc trines he believed and the religion he pro cessed. The obligations he felt under to his fel low-men were discharged with zeal and as siduity—to enlighten and nourish the youth ful mind, to support and protect the feeble, the indigent, and “ him that had no helper,” . to administer consolation to the broken in heart and bruised in mind, were character- I i-tics, of a temper ami disposition deeply 1 imbued with the example and the pre cept of his divine master, “ peace on earth . and good will to men.” As a husband and father, (and indeed in all the varied relations of life,) Mr. M'- Dowall claimed the respect and veneration of all who knew him. To the writer of these brief remarks he was well known, and whilst the faculties of < his mind are unbroken, he will cherish with the deepest interest (he remembrance of a relative and friend, who united in his char acter those great and leading essentials, which gave evidence of the approbation of Heaven and the good and virtuous amongst men. B. Mr. George W. Winter, in the 23d year of his age. By the inevitable fiat of fate he has been summoned in the vigour of youth, to “ that bourne from whence no traveller returns,” ihut he still will live ip the hearts of his friends and relatives, until in their turn they shall have paid the debt of nature.
