tornado, to sweep us all into the lowest depths of misery. It is with
the deepest sorrow that we further declare, but we verily believe, that
the slaves in the West Indies are not so much oppressed as we are. We
admit that they are literally bond.alaves, while we bear the proud appel.
latlon of free people; but, in fact, the toil and suffering we endut e in
order to procure a pittance which, after all, only makes lite meetable,
impresses on our minds this conviction—that if the sufferings of the two

conclusion, we are axious to impress upon. the minds of our know-
countrymen, that it is not with flesh and blood we contend, but with bad
principles only—principles which have destroyed our domestic contfort
—principles which have a tendency to destroy every patriotic feeling
—which render the heart eatlous to every affectionate endearment, by
deprivitig us hf that time and opportunity which should be devoted
to mutual improvement—in short, principles that are destructive to

TAUNTON COURIER. FEB. 9.
Temperance Societies have shown that the moral and physical &lids
I arising from intoxication, are prodigiously greater than could had a
been anticipated t that. what is termed the moderate use of spit ituous
liquors, or that in which inebriation is avoided, is also fraught
with infinite mischief: Ist, by the eventual injury it occasions t.•
the bodily health and strength, to the intellects, the temper, the
social affections, and the moral sense ; 9d, by leading on, iu innu-
merable cases, the respectable drinker to the excesses, and fatal end of
the drunkard; and, 3d, by affording an example, which those who
have no self-command interpret as a sanction to their unqualified and
destructive indulgencies. As instruments of good, temperance societies
have done much to extirpate ! prevalent vice; but their usefulness does
not atop here t they have introduced a salutary system of self-restraint,
the effect of which is to impart great control over the sensual appetites
generally.
CORNWALL COUNTY PETlTlost.—The Petition agreed to at Bel.
win, has been aped by upwards of ten thousand persons, including a
great majority of Freeholders, especially in the Eastern districts.
Amidst all the distresses of the country, it is an extraordinary but
gratifying fact, and that too in the face of a dense and greatly increased
population—that the number who have received relief from the guar-
dians of the poor in this city have been less during the last three
months than in the corresponding months of the preceding year, and
that the number of paupers in the Exeter workhouse has been much
reduced. In January, 1830, the inmates amounted to 348—st present
the number is but 240.

Henry Laymen, aged sixty. John Laymen, his son, a youth of 18 or 19,
and J. Martin, descended a well In the parish of Sheldon, for the
plumose of cleaning it out and lengthening the pipe. The depth of the
wall was eighty.four feet, and stages were erected at different distances

' down the well for the purpose of guiding the buckets; Martin was
about thirty feet below him occupied in the same manner, whilst John
Laymen, the son, was stationed on a stage within a few feet of the button',
Ike the purpose of filling the buckets. About ten o'clock in the morn.
10g the wall of the well suddenly gave way, and the three men were
immediately buried beneath its rubbish. The , utmost exertions were

Ailed it, sod give the bodies a fitting sepulchre—for the most sanguine

with life. After digging about twelve hours the body of the elder
Ls was found in a very mutilated state. There was little chance of

se
the other two men alive, and still less hope; notwithstanding
dds, men who had undertaken the task of discovering what the
themes really were, still continued theiroxertions with a constancy and
determination deserving of the highest raise. Soon after the midnight
of Friday they came to James Martin, who, to the great joy of all plc.
seat, was absolutely found to tie alive, and able to speak,
though dreadfully weak and bruised, but with nu bones
broken. The exertion of rising him A the surface was, however.
Cele great foe the poor fellow's exhausted condition, and he fainted
away. In *Web state be was bowie into the faro: house whin* is
occupied by 'Mr. John Batons. The unexpected success which at.
tended their efforts to save Martin, made the exhumers renew their
exertions with redoubled seal. and by ten o'clock on Saturday morning
they came to John Laymen, the son, having heard his voice for the space
of eight feet before they came to him. He was raised to the 'Rowe,
when it appeared that he was so little hurt as to be perfectly capable of
walking home.

We have Waimea than coca, that the people of Cork won es hostile
to the present agitation as the people of Belfast, se as the majority of
the thereon& and professional population of Dublin. At length the
people of Cark-r-tbe men of ssperty mak, and eminence in that great
city—have ONOs forward with- a irdarodon of sentiment which muse be
conclusive en the question. The following is a copy of the deli:tattoo :
" We, the undersigned inhabitants of Cork, feel menses called upon,
under misting circumstances, to declare our utter repugnance to the
efforts now making to dissolve thelogisladve union between Great Bri.
lain and Ireland, as tending to destroy public coollence, sad calculated
to paralyse the growing energies of the country; and we hereby word
war fixed belief that the repeal of the union would be attended with
consequences fatal to the prosperity and beppisses• of Ireland, soli sub.
vendee of the best interests of the BMWs empire."
