fort lmd his arm shattered through Cara-

Surgeon of the Grampus was invited by

Surgeon oi the fort in amputating it. The
officers, generally, received many civili

Ths Rtsurrrction .Van—Wo have been
repeatedly askod of late what Cobbett has
done with Paine’s bones. Hui ho taken
our advice, and inld them to the bone
dealer at Whitechapel, or hai he given
them to a phosphorous manufactory, and
is this all the light we shall have on the
subject f Our resurrection man told us
some years agn, that he would give Paine’s
or the blackamoor’s bones a public luneral
when Soring should return, and yield
cart loads of flowers to strew in the pro
cession. Whgt! have the flowers not
blown since? Has Paine nr the Blacka
moor, who has been so unceremoniously
carried icro*s the Atlantic, no surviving
relative or friend to hasten the interment?
Because the trick has failed, is this resur
rection man to defraud the dead of *ieir
rites? We must insist bn the ftuieral
procession however much ashanreu our
political proph^may be to act as under

trick," Let him have his brains taken out
