[Extract of a Lean from Boston, July 25.]
' 46 The long-expected Statue Of WASHINGTON
has at.lengt4 arrived in the Columbus) Commo-
dore BAINBRIDGE, who put into this port on the'
22d instant, accompanied by the brig Shark, in
46 days from Gibraltar, from whence they sailed,
on the. 6th.. It is supposed that the dispatches
received from France, brought by the brig Olive,
will have an important effect on the navigation
at Washington for a commercial arrangement,
The accounts from France express a strong de-
sire to have a free intercourse 'with the United
States."

REDUCTIONS OF SALARIES.—We find that so
much interest has been excited in favour of the
Clerks at the Public Offices, that we purpose to
resume the consideration of the subjection Mon-
day. Many intelligent and well-in-formed per-
son:l are or oOlnion that the corisquences of the
measure will be not less injurious to Government
and. the Country than to immediate su f-
-2rers by so penurious a proceeding. No
matter of official regulation, certainly, has over-
excited so much alarm and discontent amongst the
public Servants. We hope it will yet be
abandoned.

LIFE GUARDS.—It must be Highly gratifying
to the honest and reflecting part of the commu-
nity to observe the Meeting of Gentlemen, for
the purpose of manifesting the interest which
they take in behalf of this valuable body of the
military, who have suffered so much, and who
have been so infamously defamed. It is still
more gratifying to find that the Meeting origi-
nated among the Citizens of London.

Admiral Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ, who was born
in Guernsey, is now on a visit to his native island.
Sir JoK.Nr COULBUR:YE has left Weymouth, to
enter upon duty as Lieutenant-Governor of
the Island of Guernsey.
Miss DANCE, who performed with great success
at Edinburgh, on her return performed two
nights at Newcastle. Her popularity has pre-
ceded her, and she is announced, it seems, to
appear four nights at Yarmouth.

A. new Betoidera is to appear at the Hay-
market Theatre, of whom report speaks highly,
BOW-STREET.—Yesterday the metal pages
(new types) of a weekly publication, entitled
THE ECONOMIST, devoted to the, discussion and
developement of Mr. OWEN'S Plan, were sent
to the British Monitor Office, in order to he
worked off at press for the publication of this
day. They had not been ten minutes on the
premises, when five of the pages, weighing 9-8
pounds, were stolen. About three o'clock the

types were offered for sale to Mr. 13.taTov, type-
founder, Newcastle-street, who, on examining
them, notwithstanding they had been chiefly
thrown into confusion, discovered the title of the
work, which happened to be in one of the pages
stolen. This enabled him to apprise the Editor
of the Economist, and to detain the woman. On
being brought before the Magistrate, she stated
her name to be Whittaker, and said her husband
was a compositor. The property was identified
by the Editor and Printer ; but the former
having manifested an indisposition to prosecute,
she was remanded till this day.. The woman is
a miserable looking object, apparently in great
distress ; and having said that she had been the
whOle of the day without. food, the Editor hu-
manely directed that she should be furnished
with some refreshment in the watch-house. The
Magistrate applauded Mr. BARTON for his pro-
per conduct in detaining her.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.— THE DESERTED
CHILDREN.-The Masons ( alias Tontlinsons) who
stood charged with leaving their two children in
a basket at the door of Mr. Knight,. in Great
Marlborough-street, were brought up from St.
James's Workhouse, for re.examination.—Tho
father had one child in .his arms, and the mother
the other, and as the Magistrate remarked, the
parish had done their duty by them, from their
healthful appearance. Eliza .Ball deposed,.
that the grandmother of the children, on
the mother's. side, had told her that the children
had died of the measles ; but-she afterwards gave-
it to be understood--that they were':.not dead, and
a woman named Dallis, the sister of the mother
of the children, told witness that they were
dropped in the neighbourhood 'of St. Jarnes'iz.
.Workhouse.—The mother. now„.icknowledge.d
her guilt, and. she was committed Ito: be disposed
of at the Sessions. The man, who was no party
to the transaction, took the children into his care,,
under a promise of fulfilling the duties of a father.
to them. The commitment was under the 17th
of Geo. IL

A MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT occurred on Thurs-
day evening, between five and six o'clock, and
which has involved a whole family in the deepest
affliction. The two sons of Mr. COOPER,. of
Stamford-greet, the elder ten years of age, the
younger just turned seven, slipped away from
home, their mother within the last few days
having been confined. The elder boy having a
toy boat, Went down to the river side above
Blackfriars, bridge, to sail it, accompanied by
his brother : they got on board a barge at its
moorings, andoccupied themselves the one put-
ting the toy boat into the river at one end of the
barge, and the other catching it at the other end.
The younger boy, Master Frederick, -a most,
interesting child, lost his balance, pitched over,
and sunk to rise no more. The elder brother
called out to the watermen who were close by,
when John Lewis, Samuel Dell, and John Brow n
rendered every prompt assistance in their power,
but they could not recover the body before the,
vital spark was extinguished, Rorer to be recalled.
