an d principally in that place, and then in other places. In the exhortation given by one minis* { er ■ in the statement concerning the religious feeling in the city, given by another; and in the prayars offered by the other two, there was noth in,, except the cold allusion to the Jews and the heathen, which is heard iu every prayer, to lead our minds beyond the bounds of the city. While returning, though I could cheerfully concur in the general remark, “ we have had an excellent con ference,” l could not suppress the emotion of re gret, that these Christians could not participate in the expansive, benevolept, holy joy. which warmed the hearts o's their brethren in Boston and vicinity, who at the same time were retiring.from a monthly concert. Nor is the desire yet extin guished, that they and all the churches may be induced to know and improve the same means, that their meetings may be equally blessed. These means are simple, easily improved. In stead of praying, first and principally for a revival in our own parish, and then in other parishes; at this season let the prosperity and extension of the Redeemer’s kingdom, at once fill our souls ; let the success of the Bible and Missionary Societies, the means by which it is extending, in turn be the burden of our prayer. The hearts of Chris tians will then be enlarged, ennobled. Instead of a didactick discourse, or practical exhortation, let the mighty revolutions taking place in the mo ral world, let the enlargement of Zion, as it ap pears in the formation of every new missionary station, and in every revival of religion, be por trayed in proper colours, ‘i’he hearts of Chris ’ tians will expand with benevolence, will burn. And instead of retiring as from a conference, let us first, like Cornelius, afford a passport to our supplications, that ours also may be tiie blessed assurance, “ thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.” Then, too, will the hearts of Christians revive; and they will hope and feel that the kingdom of the Lord is in deed coming. E. Mr. Willis —Free Masons constitute a class of the community much distinguished for liberali ty in dispensing temporal good, and a few in stances have occurred in which they have, as a body, contributed to send eternal life to those who are in the region and shadow of death. Should these friends of humanity be informed that their brethren, the missionaries irrthe East, are greatly distressed for a supply of Bibles for the destitute around them, would they hesitate to lend a helping hand ? Would they not form a Bi .bit Society ? It would be a noble enterprise, and ’worthy of their united efforts. We rejoice that a child in Ceylon bears the name of the highly respectable Lodge of Danvers, [Massachusetts] and that two other children are supported by their munificence. May ether Lodges “go and do likewise.” This fraternity professedly adds to brotherly kindness charity, and it surely will not act inconsistently with that benevolence which cements its union. May this numerous class of society, and may all who are favoured with the gospel, “hear what the Lord saith,” — “freely ye have received, freely give.” ‘ AN OBSERVER. THE MISSIONARY. MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. TREMENDOUS GALE. On Monday, the 3d inst. the City of New Ytfrk ■was visited by one of the most violent and des tructive gales of wind ever experienced on our sea board. It commenced at half past 4P. M from the N. E. and continued with “ all the fury of a hurricane, until half past 8, throwing down chimnies, unroofing buildings, and prostrating trees in various directions. When the gale was at his height, it presented a most awful spectacle. The falling of slate from the roofs of the buildings, and broken glass from the windows, made it un safe for any one to venture into the streets.” The iamage sustained by the shipping is immense, and great injury done to the wharves on both sides of the city. They were overflown to the depth of from 12 to 20 inches, and large quanti ties of merchandize and lumber swept off. “ We liave often,” says a New York editor, “ heard sailors tell of the wind breaking a spar like a pipe stem, but had no idea of it till we saw the effects of the late gale. Limbs of trees as big as a man’s body, were broken with the facility of glass, and trees, the growth of half a century, uprooted in an instant.” Several columns of the New York papers are occupied with the melancholy details of the ravages of the storm. It has already been ascertained that many lives were lost, and still more distressing intelligence was anticipated from the shipping on the coast. A number of vessels •were driven on Rockaway beach, and the pas sengers and crew of one brig (18 persons) with the exception of the captain, drowned. The gale was equally severe on the Connecti cut coast, and the damage very extensive. In New Haven, 50 chimnies were blown down, and the new brick Methodist meeting-house demolish ed. At Bridgeport, several buildings were des troyed, and nearly every vessel in the harbour driven aground. In the vicinity of Philadelphia, orchards were But little damage was done in the city. The damage sustained at Boston and its neighbourhood was principally confined to the orchards. The shipping sustained little injury. The storm did not reach Baltimore. On the morning of the 3d inst. a destructive gale commenced at Norfolk, and continued until half past twelve o’clock. In violence and calamitous consequences it has not been exceeded by any ■storm within the recollection of the oldest inhab itant. The Drawbridge over the eastern branch from the toll-house to the draw, about 250 yards, and 100 feet of the bridge across the southern branch were swept away. Many vessels were sunk, others dismasted, and several driven ashore. Among the latter were the U. S. Frigates Con gress and Guerriere. The houses in town suffer ed severely, and many entirely destroyed. Milligan, one of the tellers of the N. Y. Phoe nix hank, who lately robbed that institution of a large sum of money, ha 9 been arrested in Canada, and twenty thousand dollars of the plunder safely lodged in the Montreal Bank. Some thousand dollars, it is supposed, have been secreted in the woods. Intelligence to the 4th of June from Lima, states that the town still held out against Lord Cochrane and Gen. San Martin ; and there was no prospect of its immediate surrender. The Patriot arms have been completely successful on the Spanish Main. At a late term of the Conrt of Common Pleas at Greenfield, Mass. Mr*. Polly Tripp, of War wick, was indicted as a Common Scold. The Convention of New York are now in ses sion at Albany. The proposition to abolish the Council of Revision was unanimously adopted— -121 members present. General William Carroll is elected Governour of the state of Tennessee, by about 30,000 votes over his competitor. Israel Pickens, formerly a valuable member of Congress from North Carolina, has been elected Governour of the state of Alabama. The degree of L. L. D. has lately been confer red on the Hon. John C. Calhoun, of this state, by Hamilton College, N. York. The Pendleton Bible Society held their anniver sary meeting in the Court House of that district, on the 23d ult. After an appropriate address by the Rev. Mr. Dickinson, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year:—Col. Thom as Pinckney, Prest. Rev. James Hembree, Rev. James Hillhouse, Rev. James Douthit, Vice Pre sidents, Cos!. Joseph Grisham, Secretary and Treasurer. [Columbia Telescope. Ralf.igh, N. C. Sept. 14. The yellow fever continues to rage with great violence in Wilmington. What is very unusual, its fatality extends to the negroes, who have here tofore been exempt. Presence of Mind. —The Richmond Compiler, relates an instance of this description which lately occurred, at Cunliff’s coal pits in Chesterfield, Va. where the workmen had sunk a shaft near 200 feet deep. At the bottom of it, they were blowing rock. An Irishman was alone, engaged in this operation ; he had charged with powder, fixed the match, and lighted the same before he gaye the signal to those above to haul him up. It >of course, necessary on these occasions, for those at the windlass to draw the person up as rapidly os possible, to avoid the effects of the ex plosion, fho Irishman had been drawn from 30 to 50 feet in the air, when the rope broke, and he was precipitated with all his force to the bottom of the shaft. Nearly stunned by so violent a fall, this man had still presence of mind enough to recollect the imminent danger he ran of being blown to atoms by the powder; the match was yet burning, and in a moment more it would have been too late—Yet he immediately clapped his hands on the ignited match, and extinguished it There is probably not one man out of ten thaus and, whose wit would have been so ready- in so painful and perilous a situation. Petersburg, (Va.) Sept. 7, 1821. Next) Patent Bridle. —A Patent has lately been granted to Mr. Peter Laporte, a resident of this state, for au improved Bridle, invented by him for stopping runaway horses, whether rode or harnessed to carriages ; ar.d also for subduing in a moment, to perfect quiet, the most ungoverna ble animal of that noble race. It is put in action, and produces its effect, with ease and certainty. It is so contrived as to deprive as it were, in a moment, the most furious and frightened horse of Ins sense of hearing, and of his power of breath ing ; whereby he is instantly arrested and effect ually stopped in his dangerous flight. This invention certainly promises gieat utility and safety to persons using horses, particularly in carriages, which often contain helpless women and children, illy calculated to escape from sud den dangers of this kind. Numerous and fatal accidents, occasioned by the flight of horses, are continually happening, and it is sincerely to be w'ished, that if this inven tion possesses the power ascribed to it, and we are well assured it does, that no one who re gards the safety of himself or family, will fail to avail himself of a safeguard which can be obtained for a very trifling sum. — Republican. Poor captain Symmes has evinced the simplicity of his heart, by asking for a loan of money to pro secute his researches to the centre of the earth. Had he been acquainted with raJnkind. he would have known that is is often very difficult for a person to borrow cash who remains on the surface of the globe, and has real estate to back his soli citations. What chance, therefore, can he have of getting a loan, who confesses himself penny less, wants to disappear from the surface and dive to the bowels of the earth ! An Ohio Family.—We published lately an account of a family party in New-York State, which consisted of 76 persons. We find a more numerous one in a Cincinnati paper, consisting of Michael Derig and Barbara his wife, 2 Children 17, married 14, 31 Grandchildren 96, married 7, 103 Great grandchildren, 22 Total, 153 “ The above 158 persons are descendants from one marriage. Mr. Dgrig is still a remarkably active man for his years.” Zanesville, (Ohio,) Aug. 14. Independent Travelling. \ man and his wife, and eight small children, passed through this town on Sunday afternoon last, with a two wheeled hand carriage (or barrow) from New York, on their way to Columbus, Ohio. Their carriage was propelled by the father in the rear, assisted by two his eldest boys with ropes, in front of the vehicle. They neither asked charity, nor accept ed it when offered. We are gratified to learn that a friandlv ;ir change r ctvmires uas taken place between the ,h ” French national ships at our Wa tering Place, and the officers of the American Si vy now at this port; and we are happy in stating, that one of the officers of the Colossus, 74, after visiting the Ohio, at the Navy Yard, declared that he had never seen so fine a vessel, and believed her to be more perfect in point of naval archi tecture, than any ship of the line in the world, [AT. Y. Gaeelte. New York, Sept. 1. Sea Serpent again ! —Capt. Pratt, of the brig Mentor, which arrived here this morning, passed off Sandy Hook, last night about 10 o’clock, something which he supposed was the famous Sea Serpent. He judged him to be about 100 feet in length, and was going at the rate of six knots to the southward. Honourable. —Gilbert and Dean, of Boston, brokers, failed in 1813, and their creditors reliev ed them from the obligation of paying their debts. Having since succeeded in supporting large fami lies, and saving S3OOO, they addressed a letter to their creditors, on Monday last, expressing to them their grateful thanks for their former liberal ity in releasing them, and staling that they were anxious and ready to pay to each creditor, his proportion of the S3OOO, which they had saved. [Franklin Gas. Young Napoleon. —We copy the following no tice of this interesting youth, from a letter publish ed in the National Gazette, written by an Amer ican Gentleman in Vienna, to his brother, in New ■lerßey. As the son of Bonaparte will probably, hereaft'er, be frequently mentioned, we thiuk the account interesting. Whether he will inherit more of his father’s genius than he has of his for tunes, is very doubtfnl. [ Georgian. “The young Napoleon, now little more than ten, is well grown of his age, and seems very in telligent, and very well constructed, and is a great favourite with his grand-father, and with every body. , I saw him first as he stepped out of the imperi al carriage with his tutor; tlie main-guard turned out to salute him; the people remained uncover ed, and the little fellow bowed on this side and that, with an air that shewed that it was not the first time he had received such respectful saluta tions. He has a fair complexion, light hair, blue eyes, and an expression of countenance more ami able than heroick. I must confess, that although 1 had seen their imperial majesties without emo tion, and have looked with indifference at the crowns, the balls, the sceptre, which the vulgar are permitted to gaze at, yet I could not behold the son of Bonaparte without profound feeling. At the imperial box, he was obliged to sit be hind the princes of the blood, but he was-oontin ually putting his head forward as in the heyday of childhood and happiness,anil making observations wich seemed very much to amuse the young princes. From the Baltimore American, 10 th inst. By the arrival at this port yesterday of the schr. Ariutfcia Bell, from La Guayra, we have intelli gence of the entire defeat of the Royalists in Cor*, who left Porto Cabello with about 1700 men and landed at the last mentioned place, where they lost more than 1000 men in killed and wounded—the rest embarked. All the small armed vessels, together with the Spanish brig of war Andaluz have been taken and destroyed by the brave col. Padillo in the harbour of Carthage na, which city, it was supposed would soon he compelled to capitulate. The soldiers in the fortifications of Curuana are suffering much hun ger, and they are closely besieged by land and sea. It is generally believed they must shortly surrender, as they have no money or credit to purchase provisions. FROM LISBON'. By the snh. Franklin, Capt. Bradford, arrived here yesterday in 60 days from Lisbon, we learn that the King of Portugal had arrived at Lisbon from Rio Janeiro but was not suffered to land un til he had signed the new Constitution.—llis offi cers of State were ordered back. Lisbon, it is stated, was in much confusion. A great procession was formed in Port Spain, Trinidad, on the 21st of June, “in honour of the feast of Corpus Christi ” Lieut, col. Young, (governour, ad interim of that colony,) govern our Riall and his lady, and many other distin guished persons were included. The procession left the church under a salute from the artillery. The papers say—“ Many flags, emblematical of the occasion, were carried before the blessed Sacrament, and the Light Company of the Royal Trinidad militia closed the rear. During the pro cession young virgins strewed the path with flow ers, or threw them into the air : solemn hymns were chanted ; and an altar borne by ladies, was th-ice erected to receive the Sacrament, and in the intervals prayers were sung, and benedictions imparted to the people by the rev. the curate. At a little after 11, the right rev. the bishop and clergy accompanied his excellency and attendants to the church door, and the ceremony conclu ded.” The festival of Corpus Christi, was insti tuted by Pope Urban IV. in the year 1264 as a solemn thanksgiving for benefits, and atonement for guilt. Singular Murder. —We have learned the fol lowing particulars from a gentleman lately from Three Rivers. A young man, living on the op posite bank, affianced to a girl of the same place, went down to Quebec. He there became ac quainted with another girl, whom he married. After his return, the disappointed one, meeting her successful rival on the beach, and deriving strength from jealousy, seized her; flung her to the earth ; and when she opened her mouth to scream for assistance, crammed it full of sand. The unfortunate being, fearful of being stifled, endeavoured to keep her mouth shut; but, gasp ing for breath, was obliged to re-open it, and at each attempt to respire, received an additional handful, till she at length fell a victim to the di abolical rage of her enemy. The murderess is in jail at Three rivers. [ Montreal, Canada, paper. The population of the Russian empire amounts to more than fifty-three millions, of whom 38 mil lions profess the Greek religion. Poland has a population of 7 millions. Wonderful Preservation We have been fa voured, says the New York Daily Advertiser,with the following particulars concerning the steam boat Connecticut: The steam boat Connecticut,Cap.Bunker,left N. Haven on Monday morning, at half past six, with 49 gentlemen, 16 ladies, and some children, for New York ; the sky was overcast and lowering the wind fresh, and every appearance of a stormy night. The wind freshened, and coining on to blow a gale, the boat was anchored in the bay w'thin the light, and about three fourths of a mile of the land. About ten o’clock the wind became violent, and a very heavy sea running, fears were entertained that she would part her cables. The stern and bower anchors holding steadily, the wind shifted suddenly four or five points, blowing with increased fury heavily upon the land; the anchors yielding to the force of the winds and waves, began to drag; the captain ordered the buoys to be fixed, and slipped her cables, with the intention to resist the storm with the engine. The machinery was put in motion—*h'. “ s ‘’° the pinion wheel broke, and wheels became useless ; the gib ordered nr, which tore to pieces msramij. sras then unmanageable, driving violently with her broadside on shore, and cradled in the mountain waves, rolled exceeding ly. The vessel and passengers on board were then considered at the mercy of the storm, and every person prepared to meet the fate that awaited them—distant 150 yards fiom shore, she struck heavily upon a reef of rocks, broadside on, and after two or three concussions, drove over, without bilging or capsizing. At this moment no hope was entertained for the vessel. The rage of the tempest, the swelling surf breaking over the decks, the darkness of the night, the confusion of sounds, the beating of the boat, rendered the scene awful and appalling. The gentlemen behaved with unusual coolness and firmness, and looked steadily upon the dan ger. The ladies, confined to the cabin tinder circumstances the most trying and hopeless, evin ced suitable fortitude; some looked calm and composed upon the scene around them; others evinced a Christian resignation to tjie will of hea ven ; some appeared devoutly imploring the mer cy of God, while others yielded submissively to their fate, or wildly to their fears; one hung dis tractedly to ber husband, while another pressed her infant to her bosom. After a considerable time the ‘vessel had worked slowly towards the shore, which was now near and discernible, and all apprehension of danger ceased, The ladies were taken ashore about 12, conducted to a house and rendered comfortable. A clergyman offered up a solemn and impressive prayer, in which he was joined with a holy and devotional feeling. It is due to Capt. Bunker to state, that while the vessel was manageable he behaved with great presence of mind, delivered his orders in a manly and firm tone, and did every thing the occasion required. 63 PRICES CURRENT AT AUGUSTA.

In the dis semination of useful knowledge, in the correction of political abuses, it stands proudly pre-eminent above evey other institution ; it is the handmaid to the Arts and Sciences, the conservator of Ge nius, and the pioneer to the inarch of Liberty and Virtue. However corrupt a press may be, how ever ably and skilfully conducted, it cannot long retain an undue influence upon the minds of the People : the glare of publick observation through which it moves, like the unsullied mirror of Con fucius, immediately reflects its deformity ; and exposes its venality. Someone has aptly observ ed, that opinion is the Qitten of live’World. She is emphatically so in a government like ours. The aristocratical maxim, “ the people are their vun worst enemies ,” under whatever semblance it may appear, will still retain an impress of its original features ; and the ken of an enlightened community will soon penetrate the gossamer man tle, and drag tfce monster to light. WE, THE PEOPLE, will he particularly devoted to an imparlial examination of the poli ticks of the State of Georgia. The policy of Rs present administration is one which fully accords with our feelings and principles ; and so long as it adheres to that honest and independent course which has invariably mariced its progress, so long will the Editors be devoted to its support. All other subjects of State or National concern wiil receive that portion of attention which they mer it ; ad every exertion will be used to render the paper a medium of useful intefligetice. Such are the sentiments of the Editors; and thus feeling and thinking, will they launch their little barque upon the political ocean.
