SUBSCRIPTION - • For the RELIEF of the WIDOW and CHILDREN of the late CAPTAIN _HENRY HALES, Of the Ship OFFLEY, Southern Whaler of London, Who with the SeCond Mat; and Boat's Crew, were inhumanly - .Massacred by the Spaniards, on the Island of St. Maria' Coast of Chili, on the 24th of February last, under circum stances of the most aggravated barbarity, by which deplorable event his•WidoW and Orphan Children are left entirely des titute of the Means of Subsistence. HIS -Melancholy Catastrophe occurred on a 7 4 ` voyage to the. South Sea Fishery, —Captain HALES sailed fronLEngland in the Ship Offiey, about the month o f *October 1820, and having doubled - Cape Horn, after a rough passage, early in 1821, he put into the Island of St. Maria, which is uninhabited, on' the Coast. of Chili, to re-fit.—On the 24th of February, about 10 A. M., several men were seen on the beach, and Capt. Hales, supposing them to be Sp a ni ar d s , who had come over from the Main, went on shore with his .Second ,Mate, Armourer, and four S eamen , arme d, f or t h e purpose of procuring fresh 'provisions. The party was seen to land, and.join the Spaniards, who appeared to be very friendly with them ; they shortly aftenVards retired from the beach to gether, and it was 'supposed that Capt. Hales was in treaty with them for provision s , and was gone over to th e S ou th B ay to look a them. Towards sun-set, the Captain not having re turned, the crew became alarmed and a boat was despatched to search for them, which returned with information, ..that on. their approach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and from their movements more were supposed to be concealed, anait being icar daik, it was deemed, most prudent to return to the ship without venturing to land. The following morning no tidings having been received of the p trty on shore, at day-light the Chief Mate manned and armed two boats, for the purpose of endeavouring to find them ; on coming near the shore, they perceived a man naked, sitting on the beach, and on landing, discovered him to be !Thomas Moore the Armourer, covered with blood, and severely wound ed; he was perfectly sensible, and informed them, that on their .grst landing, the Spaniards appeared to be friendly, giving them bread and meat, and induced them to accompany, them some distance from the shore, where they were suddenly sur rounded by 40 or 50 men armed, on which the Captain te solved to return to his boat, which was refused,- except on con dition of their delivering up their arms—They were compelled to comply with these terms.—The Spaniards then treacherously bennd . thean, two arid two, and carried them about three miles into the island, and when dark, brought them back near to the beach, among some bushes—stripped them—and cruelly stab bed them in cold blood, himself alone surviving, whom they left for dead, he having received 23 wounds in his body, and two sabre cuts, one on each side of the neck. He was perfectly sensible, and was immediately taken on board, where the Sur geon examined him, and found his wounds mortal. The boat had no sooner returned, than a number of men were seen coin ing towards the beach, and soon afterwards a man presented himself dressed in the Captain's clothes, waving his hat for a boat to come on shore ; he was accompanied by three or four, who appeared to be Officers in green uniforms, with cocked hats and sabres ; others were discovered from the mast head lying behind the beach. The leader of th e p ar ty a pp eare d so much like Captain Hales, that the Armourer was questioned whe ther lie was positive that the Captain was killed, when lie assured them he was, and that the Captain or leader of the Spaniards so much resembled Captain Hales, that he had remarked it when on shore. The Offiey immediately weighed anchor, and stood for Conception, and at 5 r. at. the Armourer became much worse, and at 0 the same evening died.—An instance of more atrocious barbarity perhaps never occurred ; Capt. Hales, the Second date, Armourer, and four men perished, in this most inhuman transaction ; Capt. Hales has left a Widow and seve ral Children totally destitute of the means of subsistence, to obtain which, this appeal is made with confidence to the bene volence of the Public, convinced that they will humanely con tribute to the relief of an unfortunate family, who have been deprived, by this unforeseen and calamitous event, of their only support, and who have thus been reduced from respectable and comfortable circumstances, to the greatest poverty and distress.

He would indeed know but little of human nature; who, whatever his former views may have been, would now attempt to check the progress which education is making' through all the subordinate classes of society. The imptilsehas been given, and the system by this time has acquired a force which will move itself without the adventitious direction which first gave it action : it is irre-. sistible : it must go on ; and God grant that it may, to the happiness and lasting interests of mankind I But if we look to the very nature of that education to which our poorest classes must and should be limited, and. to the degree of attainment with which, at a premature age, they must be necessarily thrown upon the world; can we expect, in the early stages of this sys tem, that their instruction will fortify . them against the tempta tions to which, at such a dangerous period of their lives, they must be inevitably exposed ? It has not hitherto' done so ; it may quicken the faculties, but it cannot, from the shortness of the time which is occupied in it, very powerfully affect the mind ; because, the body, rather than the mind, is or must necessarily soon be called into daily action. It is not, it can not be, with this class of society as with those whose early culture is, as it were, but the seed which is to ripen and scatter its fruitful increase for the intellectual use of man. Without derogating from the merits of the laborious classes of our fel low-subjects, to vvhorn, above all others'; fre are moat iiad'ebtedi we must see that their use and their happiness consist in the practical and operative, rather ,than in the intellectual pursuitt of life. Let me not be thought to disparage the efforts of those who are advancing the civilization and knowledge of man ; but if from the variegated condition of society, the instruction in question must be thus limited, arc we to rely upon education alone, as the charm by which crime is to be dissipated ? The BrnaE, it may be said, is the safeguard against temptation; that nothing more is wanting, and that it affords a comprehen sive answer to such reasoning. Granting, however, that the contents of that sacred volume were retained in the memory, and its spirit, for a time, felt in the mind, still, from the very nature of man, we must remember that it is not only necessary that good principles be given, but that they must be preserved ; and such is the collision of human intercourse, that in a popu lation off.aing every species. of • seduction, it is an indispensa ble duty (as well as necessary security) to create some more po sitive check against the contingencies of vicious association, than the declining influences of education and religion can in such a state afford. In short, 1 fear, after all, that restraint from doing wrong will be more powerful than the admonition to do right. It is, therefore, to this restraint that we must look, and if lam correct in the view which I have just taken, its moral influence will be unquestionable, it will force back the criminal, it will obstruct his progress in the road which he has chosen, and drive him to the selection of another which will carry him to a happier and a better end. It is to the rising generation, as the objects of our peculiar commiseration, that our care should be most earnestly directed ; for it is upon the more apt and better educated, that temptation now operates. A dull listless youth is no.fit subject for the experienced thieves of this town; but if he be adroit, active, and daring, he is soon discovered, he is quickly and easily trained, and thus he, who might have be come an useful, is made a most pernicious NJ ember of Society. It will be obvious that these latter observations apply exclu sively to the laborious classes of the community in this Metro polis; to those who are devoted to the handicraft or mechanical operations of life, whose time, if at work, must necessarily be absorbed ; or who, if not at work, must be subject to all the evils which idleness produces ; who must also be exposed to the temptations, and invited by the facilities, which a wealthy metro polis opens to the commission of crime ; a metropolis, where the frequency of offences, and the number of offenders, soon weaken the impressions with which the young man may have embarked in life, and finally lead them on, without fear or shame, to acts from which they might originally have shrunk with horror.__ For such persons, so circumstanced, there must be a more de cided counterpoise against these mischiefs, than the sort of edu cation which we have been considering. Lecturership of Si. Leonard, Shorediteh.—A t four o'clock yesterday evening the ballot filially closed. Previous to announcing the numbers, Mr. Pc'tact, the Senior Churchwarden, stated, that he held up his hand, as a voter, against the illegality of the proceedings on the part of the Rev. T. Moammit's Committee, and though that Rev. Gentleman had a majority of votes, he should still assert that he was not duly elected. Much confusion here ensued, which lasted a con siderable time, and when order was at last re stored, he announced the conclusion of the ballot as follows For the Rev. T. Mortimer ":,2—Gross Poll, 1904 For the Rev. Dr. Toyme 9i—Gross Poll, tg7 ajority for Mr. Mortimer 156 1257 Ncw brYENTEn (No. Thursday, 6th of September, Mr. John Finlayson,.',front Muirkirk, exhibited his new invented plough, in the parish of Lismahagoiv, before a great ntunber of the heritors, farmers, "and ploughmen of the parish and neighbourhood. Mr . I, 7 iplayson wept to work on very rough bent/ land / which he ploughed with great speed, and math ease, some times with one and , at other times by two horses, - always making excellent work, and never having his plough so much as once choked up during.the Altboug4 the plough qaastion be pe:;tr• Harty ii;en - tittd`fUr , moss or benty land, and will do more work in one day than could possibly be done by ten men, yet there is no descriptio❑ of ground which it is not fitted to dress in a very superior manner by a change of its irons, which can he done in half a minute. It was tried :by •several.experi 7 enced ploughmen, who all declared that they never held any plough' that was more easily ma tlges:l or directed. Il YDROPROIiIA.—A series of experiments have recently been made at the Veterinary School in Paris relative to the cure of Hydrophobia. The object in view was to confirth the efficacy of a specific imported from Italy, which it is expected will not only act as a preservative immediately after the bite, but will also operate as a cur e after the fatal symptoms have appeared. Theye sultof these experiments is not yet ascertained. PATENT, g i ittE SHIELD.—Mr.. Ralph Unckley, of New York, has invented and obtained a Patent for a Fire Shield, of which the Natioizal Advocate gives the following account :—" It ap pears to us the most effectual protection of pro perty from fire ever invented. This •shield is intended to protect firemen, whilst employed iii extinguishing fires, but it is particularly designed to prevent fire from spreading. It is well known that, when a house is on fire, if it even can be saved after the time is lost in bringing up engines, it must necessarily be very much damaged. The evil, to be apprehended is .the spreading of this devouring element, which frequently lays wholej blocks of buildings, and sometimes whole cities, in ashes. This invention is intended to . arrest 'the evil on the spot where it originates, by ena bling firemen to approach so near ,the flames as • to protect surrounding property. As this inven tion is of deep interest to our citizens,, and parti, cularly 'in the southern cities, so tnuch afiliCted —by -ftreckif late =wig deenvit necessarsy tt be)ia cular in our explanations., The fire shield is made of a metallic substance ; thin, light, and impervious to heat ; it is of anettgth and breadth sufficient to cover the whole . person; and 'it may be used in several different positions. For ex ample: when used in the street, it is firmly fixed on a small platform; with" wheels, and at a short elevation from the ground. The fireman takes his stand on this platform, and behind the shield ; he is dragged by ropes near the current•of heat and flames, without being Scorched orleeling any in convenience, and with his hose-pipe ordoider in his hand, he directs the water to the part where it is most required. In this way a line of shields may be formed in close order, in front of a powerful heat, behind which the fire Men may stand with safety, and play upon the houses with their water-pipes. The utility, therefore, of this invention may .be seen at aglance ; it enables fire men to brave the flames With impunity, whcreas, in most instances of excessive heat, they are driven off, and the flames are permitted to spread. The shield is used in another and equally bene ficial way. By varying the form, it is carried up stairs to the third story of houses, not on fire, but the roof of which requires water, and by a simple machinery carried in hand, it is projected from a 'window like a painter's platform ; the leader is then carried through the house, up stairs, and so out of the window, and is directed by, the fireman behind the shield to that part of the adjoining houses which it may be necessary to protect. It is extremely useful in churches, and from steeples, and may be applied in a va riety of ways. Fireinen have been frequently injured in health and person by .approaChing too near the flames, and giving full scope to that in trepidity of character and humanity for which they are distinguished. By this fire-shield they will be effectually protected, and it will be found, in narrow streets,' to be peculiarly useful." MEcnANism.—Mr. T. Tepper, of Southmolton, has invented a machine, which answers re spectively the purpose of a pump, fire engine, or water closet. The pressure is so uniformly ap plied and powerful in its effect, that, until the water in the well be completely exhausted, it will emit a quantity equal, and at an elevation superior, to that of a regular fire-engine. The invention will doubtless be fully appreciated, 'particularly by those whose residence is remote' from a town, as, in the event of a fire, immediate and ample assistance is procured ; it will also belound less subject to injury than a common pump. NEW BA.RomETER.—Mr. Barth, of StraSburp,h, has published his discovery of a Barometer, which will announce every change of the weather thirty hours before it happens. This instrument, which, in the time of Galileo, would perhaps have con ducted the inventor into the prisons of the Inqui sition, will, it is asserted, give notice of thunder storms twelve hours before they occur. • METHOD OF PLAYING TWO INsTau3tr.NTs. This is the invention of James Watson, a blind musician of Dundee.—The following account of his improved mechanism is taken from the Third NUITIbpr of The Caledonian Quarterly Journal: " The stops by which he shortens the strings of F. M. VA N HEVI•NuTSE , .T, of Sidmouth•strcet, for a Ziethod of Making Portable Machines or Instruments, to be placed upon a Desk or Table, and so contrived as to fold or not into a small compasi, made of wood, brass, or other metal, to support a silken shade, for the purpose of piOtecting the eyes from a strong light ; added to which is a green, blue, or other coloured glass, in a frame, and in such a position, thi:t -when placed oppdsite'a window, lamp, or candle, it will taka off the glare of white paper, by shedding'a grecp. or 1413-..‘, or any other tinge dependent upon the colour of the glass re flector, 'upon the book or paper, placed within the bounds of its shadow, so that print, however small, or writing, is ren dered more plain and egible, byireason of the glare being thus taken off the white paper, and partiCularly by candle4ight ; by this means the eyes of the reader or writer Will be reliet'ed fron? injuriously dwelling on a white surface. . • • This invention is intended to relieve the eyes from the perni. cious glare of white paper, &c, when read or . written upon. By the assistance of a blueish-green glass screen, the yellow rays of light issuing from a lamp or candle intermix, and shed a beau. .tiful and delicate . tinge of green upon abOok, paper, fine needle work, &c. In the manufacture of the glass, nothing but trap sparent colours are made use of; so that no shade is cast, but simply a refreshing gteenness, which effectually takes the glare off the white surface, softens the rays of light, and produces the most fleasirig and 'Comfortable Sensation to that susceptible arid valuable organ. This. machine, does not deprive the ar artment of a ray.of light,.as is the case with reading-lamps focused of ground.iglass, or with, opaque shade's .;" nor does it mischievously concentrate the rays into a focus,. pouring directly on a book pr paper, and consequently producing a most glaring and tlestrue tive resplendency.. • J2Goctimix, of Northampton, for an linProved Stirrup-iron. , This consists in the introduction of a cross-bar, .bearing;a Spling within the open bott om o f a stirrup-iron, supporting, a fake buttont;.which - siseiand .aceording: to the intition, Of the horse, and affords relief to the rider ; the horse is also re lieved from any sudden pressure, and they prevenethe breaking of the saddle-tree, the weight of the. rider being uniformly car-. ried upon an elastic instead of a solid bearing. • J .11 ANS 0 sir, of Ipswich, for certain Improvements on Ilotiglis. This invention consists of an improved plough-share, and plough-ground head or bottoth-piece, which are to be affix&i to each other. The common plough consists .of the stock or body, of the .plough, its sh a ft, handles, breast-plate, arid - coulter, together with .the ground, or bottom-piece, with its Slade, and • the share, blade, wing, or point, as it is sometimes called.:- The. present invention applies only to , those two last parts: which may be called the ground and the share ; all the other parts of. the plough may be constructed in th e Customary man ner. In the usual practice of making ploughs, it has been cup tomary to attach or fix the share to the front end of the groune., or that which lies next to the horses in work, either by making a socket or mouth in the ground to receive the fang or shankof the share,-, or else by placing the so c k e t or mout h upon the share; while the point or nose of 'the giround is made with 'a shank or tapered end to fix into it; and in either of these me thods the - Share is fixed on by mere fitting, or tightened either with a wedge, or by applying th e s lip s.o f wood or packings. Of paper, or other soft substance, if necessary, but can at ar , time be taken off to be renewed, whenever- it happens to be troken or worn put.. The consequence of this- construction is, that when the cast share' is worn out, in some case more than two thirds of its orinal,quantity in weight.becomes useless, on aa. count of the metal which i s requ ired to 'form the shank,or soc ket, and which is of no other : use, - .unless -so formed as to ro cci v o a new cutting edge, which may be fastened by means of .rivets, screws, or dove-tails, and the wrought iron share must be re-laid, new forged, or steeled, all which operations are attended with considerable eXpence and loss of time. The present invention removes these inconveniences. The share is of such forth and shape as'to its cutting edge, and of such materials, as may best suit the nature of the soil in which it is to act, and does not, in these respects, differ from those which are already - in use, but the back or thick part of the share is so made, either in a curved or straight form, as to enter between two chaps, for the purpose of fixing it - TheSe chips consist of two pieces of metal, one passing above that part of the share intended to be held by them, and the other below -it, in. such. manner, that when they are forcibly dr a wn t oge th er t h ey may confine and hold the share in the manner of a vice. One , at these chaps may either be.a part of' the plOugh.fiame, or ground, and made with it, o r ma d e , separate , an d f astene d thereto,' whilst the other is moveable ; nor is it material whether the top .or bottom chap is made to move, all that is necessary being, that they should answer the purpose of nipping or cot)- fining the share steadily, add that their form and dimensions should be'such as not to impede the passage of the plough through t'ne•soil; but the particulars of such form cannot be farther well described by words.
