A SHIP 6 DANDY"
We have seen list of the armament
and ship stores, of the {" brig LIE Vaiianf,
Don Wilieima Wade commander, of the
United Provinces OF South America"
otherwise called La Fortuna, alias La
Union-though we are informed that Don
Willeima is no other than captain William
Wade, of Baltimore, and the said brig
was lately the Fourth Of July of the same
place. 1t appears that she is species of
Dandy, hitherto unnoticed, as she is fit
ted out in the real Dandy style, with
more ponder than bread, and more rigging
than cargo. She has 10 large guns, and
one bag Of beans 32lb. long tom, and
half a barrel of fom-l45 muskets, and
rs lbs. Of cofse-l38 cutlasses. & SO bs.9f
sugar--a number of boarding-pik and
pistols, and a fen barrels Of beef and pork
"a large quantity of powder, and fen
barrels Of Dreadful addition TO which
she has as many names as Caesar Au-
gustus Gustavus Adoiphus Marx Antony
Timothy Keeling, dancing master"-has
40 business, and is constantly IN distress.
From which we think it fair to infer that
she belongs to the above species, and
though not the first of the kind, is never
theless quite in the fashion, and fully en-
titled to the appellation Of a DANDY"
ship.

Steam Ship Savannah. When this vessel
sailed we expected to hear that she would
afford some amusement on her passage.
The schooner Peace & Plenty, arrived at
Newburyport, from St. Domingo, reports,
that on the goth May, in lat. 81, 80, loo.
70, saw steam vessel, which when first
seen they supposed to be a ship on fire.
They Immediately bore away to render
relief, but soon found their mistake, as the
vessel, by the help of her sails aud ma
chine, was soon out of sight to the east
ward.
Massachusetts State Prison late
report of the directors of this institution,
it appears that there are. now in prison,
800 convicts, of which 80 are stone
hammerers, 40 weavers, 35 shoemakers,
Is screw-makers, AZ common workmen
and oakum.pickers, IA brush-makess, II
taiiors, besides brass founders, smiths,
coopers, cabinet makers, nailers, cobblers,
BARRIERS, tin workers. carpenters, &c. and
% ia the hospital There are A in solita-
ry confinement under sentence of court,
and A for misdemeanors in prison"
The Report adds" The amount OF
labor produced by the prisoners for the
J ear ending Sept. 80, was $4,000; by
far the most productive species of which
is hammering of stones. BY this mode OF
employment each man earns on an average
between 70 and "a cts. per day. The
produce of the labour of the weavers is
applied chiefly to clothing the prisoners.
The shoemakers are let out to shoemakers
in Boston at cts. per day, and other
mechanics at about the same rate"

The following interesting letter was
yesterday received by gentleman in this
city, per the Albion.
&c Liverpool, May I, 1919.
" Alarm and anxiety are constantly
kept alive, by failure continuing to sue
coed failure, not only here and in Lon
don, but also in the manufacturing towns
Distrust and want of confidence prevail
TO great extent, not only from what has
happened, but from an apprehension o.
others still sinking under the pressure Of
the times. This unhappy posture of al.
fairs, as you will readily imagine, tends
to depress every kind of produce.
" Cotton is in tolerable fair demand
but at comparatively low prices.
The average returns of Wheat are SC
low, that our ports will continue shut
against foreignimportation for another three
months from the 18th of this month.
Sweet American Flour, old imported, but
of good quality, is in some demand at "a
to BIS. per barrel /; sour is in limited re.
quest at % to 3ls."
