sheriff, went foremost, and DunniDg fol-

the officer Of the day are entitled to great
praise. The arrangements were judicious
and well executed. No accident hap

throughout.

he has however confessed that he was
guilty Of the crime, and that his punish

COMMUNICATED.

The Concert of Sacred Music, con-
Quoted by Mr.. EBENEzER SHAW, was
held in ST. Johns Church in this town, on
Tuesday evening last. The choir Of sing
ers consisted of about thirty ladies and gen
tlemen OF the town, who have been under
the tuition of Mr.. SHAW, the last winter.
The whole performance was excellent ;
and while it reelected great honour on
Mr.. SHAW, and the choir that assisted him,
it highly entertained and delighted the re-
spectacle audience assembled on the occa-
SIGN. The following were the pieces
sung, accompanied with several instru-
menls by performers from New FORK.
Old Hundred, Bath, Canterbury, o praise
the Lord all Anthem by Handel, Bedford,
Nothing true but Heaven Luton, Hoth-
am, Let the bright Seraphim,* Dirge,
Silver Street, Mount Calvary Dying
christian, Coincidence, Bethesda, Inter.
ment, Denmark, Monmouth, Thou wilt
not leave my soul in hell, from Handel, y
Magdalen, Near, Miriam's Song.
Sung by Mr. Shaw, alone.
| Sung by Mr.. Hill, of New-York.
Messrs. SANDERsoNs,
Perceiving in your last paper the
announcement of Sacred Concert by
Mr.. SHAW, and having heard much oI
that genteman's astonishing vocal powers
| attended with expectations exalted to the
highest degree: but soon found had
not sufficiently prepared myself. The
modulations of his surprising voice in bis
heavenly strains of Let the bright Sera.
phim," exceeded all possible idea formed
Of him, and remained in indescribabIe
delight until the last strains died on my
ear. Miriam's Song" was sung in a
style ! never heard surpassed, and closed
with high credit to the performers. This
exhibition of Sacred Music certainly ex-
ceeded any thing of the same kind have
ever heard in New Y ork, and has had the
applause of superior judge and perform
er, MIR. HILL, whose powers we also had
the pleasure of witnessing with mingled
emotions OF delight and satisfaction.
When it is remembered that Mr.. SHAW
visited this place last fall, for the first
time, and that the inhabitants have only
had his Instructions one winter, it seems
almost incredible that he should have pro-
duced such extraordinary musical talent
as appeared on the evening of Tuesday ;
that it is the work Of ono person, in one
winter, who was opposed by many, aud
contended with ignorance and prejudice
Mr.. SHAW has taken his leave Of Jer-
sey for his own home Are the people Of
Elizabeth aware Of it Are they yet SEN

To the Public.

A = unusual sensioil;:y has been excited
"a in The minds OF our coun.rymen by the
copper plate engraving OF the Declaration
of Independence recently published, ac-
con,panied by fac Smiles of the signatures
of those iIIustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced 20 the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, rs II we were
ushcred into the immediate presence oil
characters so exalted. and we seem for a
time TO participate in all the emotion which
they felt Oh the approach of so awful cri-
sis-Hostle armies. desolate fields, towns
and cities in agration-carnage and
death in its most fright,ul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their &C
ceptance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled, and at last So
lemnly appealing TO the God OF battles,
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be tree, sovereign and inde-
pendent. These illustrious patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-
ton OF grateful people. But it would be
consoling 10 the present generation, sccpa-
rated as they now are from those patriots,
by the Intervention Of the tomb, to become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
evolutionary benef4ctors. We love to dwell
ON the features of such men, snatched by
the pencil from the oblivion of the grave,
and emulate the prominent leafs OF their
biography. Impressed with these IDEAS The
subscriber proposes, if suitahle encourage
ment is given, TO pubis b the lives OF those
patriots in numbers, until the whole IS com
ple:ed. The work Will he executed IN
STYLE not inferior TO any European p'odnc-
tions. and tine portraits by masters OF ac-
knowIedged merit The biography will

macy with the several signcrs, whose famI-
liarify with the privations and hardshps

talents will be sufficient to ems. e the pa
tronage of an enlightened people. In the
execution of this work, all that the pub
Usher dares to promise is, that he VIII en-
deayor TO deserve the confidence OF ms
