PITTSBURGH, December 6. A letter from Fort Harmer, at the mouth of Muddybrook, received a few days ago, says, "Mr. Wilson has been here, but is now gone up to the Falls to bring down captain Brant and a number of Indians that are there. They are expected in here in a few days, when no doubt the business of the treaty will go on." It is with singular concern we inform our readers, that on Saturday last, the 29th ultimo, as a Kentucky boat, the property of a major Jones, who lived, we understand, near colonel Nehe-miah Stokely, was coming down the Youngs-gany river, the wind being high, she was forced against a rock, stove and immediately sunk. There were in the boat besides major Jones's family, a man, his wife and two children, all of them, together with three of major Jones's children, were unfortunately drowned.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 25. We are sorry to find that the navigation of the Delaware is interrupted by large quantities of drifting ice, which has forced several vessels on shore that were endeavouring to get out previous to the river's being shut up for the season. The situation of the vessels aground is truly distressing, as they are in the utmost hazard from the cakes of ice which are incessantly driven against their sides. The following vessels yesterday lay at Mud-Island Piers:—Ship Grand Duchess of Tuscany, captain Pool; Federalist, captain Deal; Paragon, captain Nicholson; Mary, of Dublin, capt. —; Brig Vulcan, captain Gardner; Friendship, captain Earl, to all appearance in great danger; Louisa, captain Boyd; a Spanish polacre; Sloop —, captain Morgan. The following vessels were safe at Marcus-Hook Pier on Tuesday last:—Brig Planter, Hawkins; Sukey, Mafet, from Burlington; Charleston, Athmead; Schooner —, Andole; Sloop —, Steel.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 29. On Saturday arrived the brig Dispatch, Lockhart, from Antigua; and schooner Edward, Smith, Shelburne; and Yesterday arrived the brig Maryland, Sinnott, from Lisbon. On Saturday cleared out at the Custom-House, the schooner Union, Ingersoll, for Boston; John and Jane, Potter, Jamaica; sloop Good Intent, Webb, Martinico; Mercy, Conklin, Hispaniola; and Peggy, Cahoon, Newport. If any stimulus is requisite to urge a universal adoption of solitary confinement, for persons committed to prison, and in particular separate rooms for those who for trivial offences may be immured within the walls thereof; we imagine no greater can be offered, than the dying words of two convicts, lately executed at Limerick for burglary—"We," said they, at the place of execution, "were at first committed to the city jail, on suspicion of crimes we never committed, among a company of wretches whose whole scheme was, when they should be liberated, whom they should plunder; thus, when acquitted, we came out fully ripened for all manner of iniquity." Dublin, in respect to bread-corn, now feels a comfortable vicissitude: In the year 1729—the imports were, For corn, in different lading, 274,000. 1788-9. The exports will be such that For corn cleared outwards, there will be as much, viz. 274,000. The cotton manufacture in Ireland is so advanced of late, that above 100,000 persons now earn a comfortable livelihood in the works—the gentlemen chiefly distinguished in these honorable, because useful establishment, are as follows:—Baron Hamilton, Col. Talbot, Lord Perry, Capt. Brooke, and Mr. Wilson, of Belfast.
Proceedings of the Legislature.  HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY,  THURSDAY, December 18, 1788. (Continued from our Paper of Saturday.) Read a petition of Nicholas Power, praying to be appointed printer to the state, which was committed. Read a petition from the Rumian society, praying for exclusive privilege to build steam boats, &c.—referred to Messrs. G. Livingston, Havens, and Van Cortlandt. Read a petition of John McCray, of Washington county, concerning cattle taken from him during the war; referred to Messrs. Yates, Van Dyke, and McCracken. Mr. Jones reported the draft of an answer to the governor's speech which was read and committed. Went into a committee on the bill for putting the new constitution into operation; Mr. Havens in the chair. After having passed by the clause which divides the state into districts, Mr. Adgate moved, that the person to be chosen should be an inhabitant of the district. This motion produced some conversation.—Mr. Jones, who was opposed to it, said, that he did not conceive that the constitution of this state, nor of the United States, would admit of such a clause; for as the constitution of the United States prescribed no other qualification than that the representative should be of a certain age, and an inhabitant of the state, to add any other qualification would be unconstitutional. Mr. Adgate replied to this, that if the argument of Mr. Jones had any weight, it was as forcible against the dividing the state into districts, as against his proposition; but he thought it did not apply. Mr. Gilbert thought the only way to make the law agreeable to the people, would be to let the election be general, throughout the state. Indeed he did not suppose the constitution would admit of an election in any other mode. Mr. Harrison was also opposed to the amendment; he thought it would be an infringement of the constitutional rights of the people, as it might fetter them in their choice, which ought to be perfectly free and unrestrained. Mr. Harpur and Mr. Lansing also opposed the amendment on the ground that it was unconstitutional. The question being put, the amendment was lost. Mr. B. Livingston then moved for an amendment, to strike out the word "one" and to insert the word "six". To support this motion, he said that the constitution gave every man a right to vote for six men, and that it would be an arbitrary stride of power to restrain him to vote only for one. He also contended that men chosen by districts could not be considered as representatives of the state—they were only representatives of districts. He said that there was a manifest analogy between state and county representatives; the city and county of New-York, for instance, sent nine members to the assembly—supposing that the county was parcelled out into nine districts, each
member that was chosen would not be the representative of the county, but of the particular district he came from, and would of consequence be only attached to their local views and interests. He cited the examples of Connecticut, New-Jersey, and Pennsylvania, where the elections were general. And as a further proof of the necessity of the amendment, he stated the difficulty of dividing the state so as to give general satisfaction—besides the continual increase of the state would render it necessary to pass a new bill every year or two, our election law therefore, could only be a temporary one. Mr. Jones opposed the motion—he said it went to the total destruction of district elections. If six men were to be voted for throughout the state, the people would be obliged to vote for men that they could not know—it was to give the people a chance for a fair representation, that the state should be divided into districts, and that each district should choose only one. With respect to local attachments, I am said he, elected for the county of Queens, shall I, therefore, consider myself as representing only Queens County—no, I consider myself, and hope we all do, as representatives of the state. We may as well say that we ought not to vote by counties, but that every man throughout the state should vote for sixty-five representatives. But, he insisted that by the form of ratification of the constitution of this state, a right was reserved to the legislature to divide the state into convenient districts, and to apportion the representatives. As therefore, in his opinion, it was for the good of the state to divide it into districts—he hoped the amendment would not be adopted. Mr. Lansing observed, that with respect to the two arguments on which the amendment was founded, that the constitution did not admit of district elections, and that if it did, it would not be expedient to adopt that mode, that as to the constitutional objection, the ratification of the constitution gave full power to the legislature, from the reservation contained in it; there could therefore be no doubt of the authority of the house to divide the state into districts. As the propriety of electing by districts, he thought it must be obvious to every man, that that was the most likely way to obtain a representation of the people, for it was not to be supposed that a man who gave in his vote for six men, throughout the state, could be so well acquainted with them, as with one man in the particular district where he lived. And as the people did not like to be represented by men they did not know, an election throughout the state might disaffect them to the government. These observations were replied to by Mr. Livingston, who was again answered by Mr. Lansing. When the question being called for, it was determined in the negative. The committee then rose, and reported that they had made some further progress in the bill. A message from the senate was then read, that they had passed a bill for the appointment of the electors;—the bill was then read a first time, and ordered a second reading. The principle on which this bill is formed is, that the assembly shall choose four, and the senate the other four electors. [Adjourned.]
FRIDAY, December 19. The bill for appointing electors, was read a second time and committed. Went into a committee on the bill for putting the new constitution into operation; Mr. Havens in the chair. After making some further progress the committee rose. Went into committee on the draft of an answer to the Governor's speech. Mr. Low in the chair. The same being read, and a motion made by Mr. B. Livingston to amend it; a debatory debate arose on the propriety of reading the circular letter, and the proceedings of the late convention. After a short time spent thereon, the committee rose and reported the progress they had made. Read a petition of Gilchrist Dickinson, praying to be naturalized, which was committed. Also, read a petition of Wm. Smith, respecting arrears of pay, due to John Burnside, late an officer in the line of this state, which was committed to Messrs. Sands, Younglove, and Giles. [Adjourned.]
SATURDAY, December 20. Read a petition from the society for the relief of distressed debtors, confined in the gaol of New-York, which was committed to the whole house. Read a petition of Bernard Gratz, respecting land; which was referred to Messrs. J. V. Renellaer, Webber, and Schoonmaker. Read a petition of Ann Mott, respecting improvements she had made on a leased lot, and which has been sold by the commissioners of forfeitures—referred to Messrs. Havens, Low, and Rockwell. A petition from James Abel, also a petition from Adam Mott, respecting demands on forfeited estates, were referred to the same committee. Read a petition from several persons near Frederickburg in Dutchess county, praying an exclusive right to open a mine; referred to Messrs. Verplanck, Winn, and Tappan. Read a petition of Jacob John Lansing, Richard Luff, and Henry Rutgers, praying for arrears of pay, as officers in the late army of the United States; referred to Messrs. Low, Schoonmaker, and Kortz. Read a petition of John Murray, of New-York, stating certain inconveniences that he labors under from being obliged to pay the alien duty, on account of his connections in trade in London, and praying to be relieved; referred to Messrs. Watts, Hoffman and Duncan. Several other petitions having been read, the house went again into a committee on the bill for putting the new constitution into operation. The following is the division of the state as agreed to by the committee. Suffolk, Queens, Kings, and Richmond counties, to be one district. New-York and Westchester, (excepting the towns of Cortlandt, York-town, Steven-town, Salem and North-Salem,) to be one district. Dutchess, and that part of Westchester excepted in the foregoing district, to form another district. Ulster and Orange to be one district. Columbia, Washington and Clinton counties, with the remainder of the state on the east side of Hudson river, to form another district. That part of Albany county on the West of Hudson river; and the county of Montgomery, to form another district. The bill having been gone through, the committee rose and reported the same, when it was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. A message from the senate was then read, that they had passed a bill for appointing senators. The said bill was read a first time, and ordered a second reading. [In this bill the senate have inserted the names of PHILIP SCHUYLER, and ROBERT YATES, as senators for the United States.] [Adjourned.]

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 20, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as found and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement, Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

The terms of (no cure no pay) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced its virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch for its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.
Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York, For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE. THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care, by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of them till an accident happens, the barefaced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility. The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.  FIRST RATE.
THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls carries twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3/ deposit, 12/ total, 15/.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4/ deposit, 16/ total, 20/.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5/ deposit, 17/ total, 22/.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/ deposit, 11/ 4 total, 17/ 10.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed house, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7/ deposit, 11/ 8 total, 18/ 15.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8/ deposit, 11/ 12 total, 20/.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10/ deposit, 21/ total, 31/ 10/.
The expense therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:
Premium on £ 500 at 7/ per cent. £ 1 15 0 Deposit, at 28/ per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £ 9 5 0
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0
Which shews the expence of insuring £ 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing a sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, fill-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or business following are carried on, viz. chymists, shipchandlers, tallow chandlers, haberdashers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or coal-men; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, resin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, powder of all kinds, and corn unthreashed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaid within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. Dec. 2, 1788. 1m.
