DIED, at Hopkinton, New-Hampshire,
10th uit. Maj. EZRA DEoIPH, aged lo2--
formerly of ToIland, Con. a distinguished Of.
Ifcer IN the Indian and French wars, and a
revolutionary patriot.
In Mcyfistown, Miss LAvINA RouLsTosE,
very amiabIe young lady, aged 20; killed by
lightning. The death of Miss r. affords an
interesting caution to the ladies': she had been
IN the practice of wearing those death-inviters
fashionably called corslets braced with steel,
which attracted the lightning and was scat.
tered in all direc tons, mangling her body in
a most shocking manner..p A few re-
marks here may not be improper: Corslets,
or stays, when used to compress the body, are
at best but absurd and ridiculous, if not scam
dalous their deleterious effects are easily to
be seen in all who use them. Every person
the least acquainted with the human frame
will readily confess that ruinous consequences
to health must follow from wearing these
squeezing shape-formers, even when compos-
eel with zyhalebone but when steel is called
into aid in the destruction of health and life,
it is truely reprehensible ;..and after the fair
sex shall have learned this recent, grievous
catastrophe, it is hoped they will lay aside
their eorslets, and permit good sense and natu.
raj share to take the lead in preserving their
health, lives and usefuIness--and in doing
which they may depend upon receiving en-
creased esteem from every man Of sense and

WINDSOR, Aug. 3-Ever since the re-
lapse of his Majesty on Thursday night:
the Royal Fan lily has been in great alarm,
in consequence of the repeated and violent
attacks which the King had sustained tor
the last two days; and notwithstanding
the appearance Of this mornings Bulletin,
which notices the return of a little rest last
night, the gloom which pervades in this town
and neighborhood, is not ailayed-Ihe una.
sual circumstance of the Prince Regent and
Duke of Cumberland travelling hither this
morning as we'll as yesterday, betokens much
anxiety in the Royal Family. Tho Duke OF
York, Clarence, and Cambridge, have arriv-
ed here from the same cause IT solicltude.
The Prince Regent remained at the Castle
two honrs, and returned to London In the al
ternoon, and is expected again tomorrow
Sunday. The Duke of Kent and Sussex
will be at the Palace this evening.
The regency members of her ma5estys
council also assembled at the Queens Lodge
this morning, to take into consideration the
report of the physicians, and to consult with
her majesty on the state of the Kings illness
Their decision was instantly transmitted to all
the branches of the ROYAL family, and the re-

COMMUNICATION.

IUR. PRINTER, E..
am one of those kind of people who have
the happy turn of contenting themselves un-
der any loss, and find ample satisfaction in the
pleasure of saying fine things on the occasion.
In the course of my life have lost a great
many children and near.relatiens but this,
instead of producing grief, was a matter of
10y, (altho' loved them tenderly) as it left
such an opening for fine sentiments. When
losses of d less serious nature occur, treat
them with indifference or speak of them with
a philosophic content which convinces every
one that am not affected by them.
Some time ago mortgaged my farm to
raise 1000 dollars for the purpose Of buying a
Merino,-this for long time was gratifying
to my vanity to think that ! had done SO patri-
otto aa.act. My neighbors, every day, flock
ed to my house to. congratulate me on my
bargain and try the quality ofmy brandy: they
continued this practice SO long that began to
think of having to lay another mortgage on
my land but I was disappointed, for my ram
took it into his head to die one day. must
confess this was a sore shock 10 my phlloso-
ply, and had it not have been for the thoughts
of my former resignation under other Attic
tons, would certainly give signs OF discon-
tent in my behavior, but this has kept me
aloof, and the only serious inconvenience
which I feel from the loss is, that find it i'm
possible to be sentimental on the occasion.
How different this is from losing child In
that case full scope would be given for pa
thetic sayings, and could speak for hours Oh
its ripening virtues its indications OF genius,
and the many talents which it had III embryo,
and which only wanted time to bring to per-
lection: at the same, time could show my
disinterestedness and resignation by saying
that every thing was for the better, and final
" prove that more benefits were derived to
itself and society by Its decease than tho 1t
had lived.
In the present case although l find it utter
~ impossible to be sentimental, and yet am
ashamed to repine, Can yet have some vent
for nv ideas, by advising my friends to beware
of making such purchases unless they have
plenty of money to lose--and, at any rate ne
yer to mortgage their land to pay tor any
thing perishable. do not now think so high
" as formerly of those gentlemen, who, mere
" out of patr ctism, send 10 Cadiz and Lis
bon for Merinos, where they purchase them
for from to Is dollars a head, and then
bring them to this country and sell them tor
from one to two thousand dollars. This might
be considered praise-worthy If we had no
sheep of our own, but had to sew hg leaves
together for clothing but as the case IS DIT.
ferent, it looks like speculation. wish had
thought of this sooner.
