„ The dispatch of this brave officer is so interest
ing, so highly gratifying to the heart of every na

invite all readers to a rich repast in its perusal.—

A Society lias been formed at Nassau, New-Prov
idence, under the name of The Marine Society of
Crooked Island, for the purpose of assisting, accor
ding to the circumstances of their case and the state
of the funds, such unfortunate mariners as may be
brought there in distress.
The information we have received regarding the
election of Counsellors and Senators is too imperfect
to permit us to hazard an opinion on their election.
We have received returns if fuffrages for Governor,
from seventy-seven towns— in which the votes for Govtr
nor Gilman, compared with those given in the last March
election, have increased about eighty ; and the votes for
Met Langdon increased about ißo@. The votes in the 77
towns were this year, for Governor Gilman, 6745; for
Mr. Langdon, 8429. As these returns are collected in
discriminately, from various parts of the State, we feel full
confidence that Mr. Langdon is elected Governor of New-
Hampfhirc for the ensuing ye^r, by a considerable majori
ty. The independent and virtuous Gilman, has these
consoling reflexions—worth a thousand offices—that he has
discharged his duty as a faithful and upright Magiftrate—
that be retires with the plaudits of every virtuous citizen—
and that " the,oft of honor has now become the privakfa
for
Several Communications are omitted for want of
room, and others from motives which it is not ne
cessary to detail They have all received a re
spectful attention.
The Editor of the Boston Centinel thus remarks
on our Election :
The above, with the towns published last week,
make the returns from 135 towns ; and a majority
for Mr. Langdon of 3494 Votes ; he is probably e
lected by a majority of 3000 votes.

of a little orphan girl of fir years of age, who lived with
him, whether (he would fprll and pronounce GIG ar:ghc s

the severity of his manner, or not having acquired com
mand of articulation, or poTihly, but not probably, fron>
pervert humor she pronounced i Jig He then col|e&-

in the embers and twiftef them so as to render then
