! Increase Of Inmoral,ty.-A late report
ofa Grand Jury presents dreadful picture
! of the moral depraviiy existing in Balli
| sDre they state, that" they see with re
greet crimes of every kind multitiv daily, and
probationary residence in the peniten,iary
of few months or years, seems only TO
stimulate the athftite and imtroUe the genius
| for new and more extensive schemes OF
yillaoy."

for the Jury TO anemtt 10 enumerate the

J Erecuied, at New-Providence. July s, John
Lewis Dupuis, pirate and murderer. He was

vessel. which stopped a British vessel, from
which they took man and his wife, violated the

him, and threw him overheard. Dupuis, how

actions, but confessed, that he afterwards had
compulsory intercourse with the widow, who

To Delinquents--We have 80 often called the
attention of our Subscribers to the pecuniary con-
! Germs Of this establishment, that we have not
! only exhausted our ingenuity il dunning, but a
very considerable part of our patience also. We
have often pointed out the utter impracticability
of continuing establishment like this without
considerable degree of punctuality on the part
! ofits patrons-and lately we have urged our
claims upon still stronger grounds, viz. the in
dispensble necessity of effecting universal
settlement with our subscribers in consequence of
/ the decease of one of the proprietors. With
many these claims have been urged in vain-ana
it is to be feared they are waiting for oppor-
tunty Of doing it according 10 latc, though we
! hope better things. 1t cannot be expected that |
we should wait upon each individual with bill,
as that would subject US to more expense, in
many cases, than they are worth-and have
expended too much of our hard earnings this
way to little or no effect, aready-we hope and
trust, therefore. deinquents will avail themselves
of an opportunity of forwarding the amount due
Us before the Administrator compels to add
cost. Whilst dealing thus plainly with some, we
would no. lose sight of the obligations we are
under 70 others, who have promptly discharged
their bills. To these we have ever felt CRATE ,
ful sense Of the obligations are under.
/ fE4F Subscribers in this town and vicinity are
informed that their bills all made out TO the
present time and that settlement by cash or
note caS,,ot be dispensed ruth. II would give !
/ individuals bat little trouble to CALL, and |
thus save Us The tronble and expense Of many
. weeks.

which brought the keels OF vessels that drew ff-
