the service of the State, you still give such proofs of
your desire to promote the public good, by the pro-
tection which you afford to the Arts and Sciences."

ATTACK UN MR. ARCHER.

Therm Angier, the unfortunate young man whose case appeared
in our Paper of Saturday, was this day again brought up before the
Loan MA Toe. The poor fellow was very respectably dressed, and
his master, Mr. Barron, his wife, and a fellow workman came for-
ward in his behalf. After the most infinite pains had been taken,
it turned out that he bad lost a considerable sum of money about
three months since, which had preyed upon his mind. He had
been married to his wife only two months, to whom he had
represented himself to be a man possessed of property, and was ac-
tually about taking a house, shop, and fixtures ; but on the money
being to be paid, he went away, and was not heard of until he was
taken into custody.
The Loan Matron conversed with his friends as to the course to
be pursued with him, the charge, we believe, having been with-
drawn ; and having advised with the prisoner, remanded him for a
Yew days; and directed that his friends should be at liberty to converse
with bins, and in the event of his state of mind permitting it, inti-
mated that he would be discharged.
