seven miles from this place, is a bridge of
single arch, built of heavy stone over 4
smal run Of water-In the storm, one side
of the bridge gave way, not from the
effect of water, there being but very little,
and what is very extraordinary, stone
weighing several tons, was driven up the
stream a rod IN a direct lire.
Such was tle violence of the storm, that
the large fishing rocks at Point Judith
were removed from the beds, in which, Sia-
tire. perhaps, planted them.
FURTHER EFFECTS OF THE
LATE STORM.
Nearly all the vessels at Bristol were
driven great distance on the land, and
considerably injured. The tide rose seven
feet higher than was ever before known
it carried away the building occupied as
the Post-OHicc, and several houses and
stores. A long range of brick stores on
one of the wharves, was carried away, and
with it their valuable contents, among
which are more than 100 boxes of sugar.
A great number of trees were blown down
and much damage done. The wharves
were completely swept away.

IMPORTANT LAW DECISION.

Court of Pennsylvania had decided that
all sentences passed by Courts Martial con-

GENERAL, ORDER,

NJ N(lNA<SS1Ns
The General commanding hes witnessed
with regret a course of communications in
the fubLc ne7US hdheyS between two off
GERS of his command. He was at the time
of its commencement absent or he should
in its incipient state have interposed his
authority to check a system of elimination,
injurious TO the honor and harmony of
the army. AS long as the ordinary chan
nels Of iuyestgation--the trials by Court
Martial and BY Court of Inquiry--are O.
pen to the claims and the conduct OF OIL
GERS, nothing viii justify an appeal to the
public in any other shape. He trusts that
lie need not give assurance that these Ordi-
nary channels, the former, the vindication
Of the justice of the country, the latter of
individual reputation however it may be
assailed, will never be closed by him. AS
long as such shall be tie course, it is high-
ly improper to depart from established nj
litarg usage.
The army in state Of peace, IS now re-
posing on its well-earned reputation. In
caYporated with the national institutions, it
is protected and sostcred by the national
sentiment. But can it be expected thas it
shall be elevated i'm the public view, If the
brOils aud difficulties which arse between in
diyi .uals are to be made the theme CfnewS-
paper discussion Nothing short Of abso-
Lutte self-defence can justify an officer in
laying his case before the public through
any other channel than a military tribunal !;
and surely so long as those tribunals are
open, so long as they are to be constituted
with impartialiiy so long as onno account
are they TO be closed, without fall, Just
and an impartial investigation. upon the
fair principles Of military law, TO one can
pretend that it is necessary for self-vindics-

DARING OUTRAGE.


On Sunday night last, about ten o'clock,
five Seamen fundamentally entered the
mansion OF one of our most respectable and
aged citizens. Upon their entrance, two
young gentlemen, who were then present on
visit, attempted to expostulate with them,
and to endeavor to convince them of the
impropriety of their conduct stating, they
must certainly have mistaken the house
the seamen replied, they had not, and re-
fused to depart--the young men (unac-
quainted with their intention) feeling some
what irritated, then armed themselves
with sticks, and attempted to compel them
to leave the place but, unfortunately, they
were overpowered by numbers, their sticks
taken from them, and both were severely
wounded.
Not wishing to cast an unjust reflection
upon any man or nation, we would not at
tempt to premise to what country these
seamen are indebted for their birth but
must unequivocalIy declare, we cannot be Z,

We are happy to,find, that His Honor

trust our Civil Officers, as we'll as our pri-
vate citizens, will be vigilant in endeavor-

we have been informed that FIVE seamen,
