We understand that several of the public
speakers, OF both sexes, of the respectable
Society of FiIends, here on q visit TO their
brethren, held meetings of worship on Sa,ur-
day last among the military, at Forts Wolcott
and Adams. The fundamental doctrines of
the blessed Redeemer of Mankind was cm-
phaticaily illustrated and enforced, evidently
pure from the heart, truly characteristic of
Gospel Ministry, to the apparent satisfaction
OF the audience. We believe this friendly
visit TO tho military from that religious sect,
10 be novel and unprecedented occurrence,
at least In this section Of the Union.
Great credit is due the officers Of the res
pectiye garrisons for the polite and cordial
reception Of them. The soldiery are also en-.
havior, pleasingly manifested on the occasion (;
vhile It reflects merit on their officers in sup
porting due subordiuatien
May the seeds of virtue scattered among
US by the pious iabors of christians, of differ
ent denominations, produce an abundant har-
vest-peacc and happiness TO all ranks and
conditions of-s.en.
The original DEcLARArzoN OF ISpErEN-
DENcE, (bcaring this title-s The Unanimous
Deeiaranon of rte Thirteen United Sfates Of
America" las deposited in tho Secretary of
States office at Washington, was happily and
miracniossly preserved when so many valua-
bic papers were consumed by the British Van
dals. This circumstance is worthy OF note,
and would in earlier times have been ascribed
to Divine Intcrposition, for the preservation
OF the instrument a. we'll as the substance Of

BaHimore.--The rapid growth Of the city
of Baltimore, is the subject Of some lengthy
remarks in Niles Regesier. For a eonsidera.
bic time after the peace, the population in
creased at the rate of about 800 per month,
and the present number of inhabitants is esli-
mated at 10000 souls. Nor is the increase
in population disproportionate to the increase
and Improvement Of building, 6c.-besides
the erection Of the .frsf stately column to
honour the me nory OF the farther Of his eoun-
try, and a monument 10 those who died in de.
fence of the city, the Exchange vast bull
ding, (supposed to require 100000 bricks)
is now progressing-together, with places OF
publick worship, and other public buildings
and improvements. "We have many men
(says NHes) not above middle age, who have
hunied aud killed wild ducks and rabits in
places which now are, apparently, among
the Oldest parts of the city"

New-Ynrk Columbian, states, that there is
now building, in that city, very large and
powerful Steam Boat, (of l4o feet keel, the
