Erecution.-At hslEpast one O'Clock
yesterday, George Brown, formerly mate
of the schooner Retrieve OF this port. was
hung at the main yard-arm of said vessel,
having been convicted Of the crime OF
numbering his Captain, on her. passage
from Cadiz TO Havana. This awful
scene was witnessed probably by $4,000
spectators, assembled on each side Of the
East river.
The procession was formed in front of
the Bridewell, 10 the following order -
First, Two of our City Marshals.
Second, Eight U. S. Marines, with
fixed bayonets.
Third, The U. S. Marshal and Sheriff.
Fourth, Eight q. S. Marines with
fixed bayonets.
Filth, A cart in which was a coffin
with the prisoner dressed in W hite seated
on il, attended by two clergymen, who
as they passed through the crowd, sung a
ny mn adapted to the occasion.
Sixth, Eight. U. S. Marines with fixed
bayouets brought up the rear.
The Corps Of Marines, which dis
charged painful duty on this occasion,
under the direction OF subaItern officers,
acted in manner highly honorable to the
character of the navy.
1t is astonishing that among the humber
of boats on the water at the time, only
one was upset, 10 which were eight per-
sous, two Of whom were women, and three
children! They were all saved by other
boats.

ProvidentiaI Escape. few weeks
since, little daughter of MIR. Ozias Ath-
efton, of Waterbury, in this county, about
years Of age, fell into neighbours well,
Between 80 and 40 feet deep, with | | feet
water. The child had been missing some
time, when young lady belonging to the
house, happened to look into the well and,
to s.er utter establishment, beheld the little
girl within feet Of the curb, clinging with
her fingers to the rocks on the side of the
well. When taken out, drenched with
water, and nearly exhausted finger
nails were literally worn to the quick in
climbing from one rock TO another, from
the bottom to nearly the top Of the well !;
which was SO wide that she was obliged to
rise entirely on one side, holding by one
band and foot, while reaching for new
hold with the other. The child received
mo other injury than few slight bruizes
10 falling.
When first informed Of the fact, we
could not credit it; but the united testi-
mony Of a number Of respectable witness
les, places it beyond a doubt.

b TIE FLOUR OF POTATOES.

CF TIE FLOUR OF POTATOES.
A patent has been recently obtained al
Paris, a gold medal bestowed, and other
houorary distinction granted for the dis
covery aud practice, on large scale, Of
preparing from potatoes fine flour a
sago or flour equal to ground rice, and a
semplina or paste, Of which ! ID. is equal
lo lbs. of rice, Il lbs. vermiceIii, or, as
1T Is asserted, 8 lbs. OF raw potatoes.
These preparations are found valuable
to mix with wheaton flour for bread, TO
make biscuits, pastry, pie-crusts, and for
~ aoups, grneIs, and panada.
Large engagements have been made Tor
these preparations with the French ma
rine, and military and other hospitals, with
the appreciation of the faculty.
An excellent bread, it is said, can be
made OF this flour at half the cost OF
wlieaten bread
Heat having been applied 10 these pre-
Epafations, the articles will keep unchanged
for years, and on board ship, to China and
back; rats, mice, worms aud insects do
not infect or destroy this flour.
5impiy mixed witt, cold water, they
are ia ten minutes fit for food, when fire
aud all other resource may be wanted, and
III ounces are sufficient for days sub
.sistence, in case of necessity.
The Physicians and Surgeons in the
Hospitals, in case of great debility Of the
stomach, have employed these prepara-
tio1s with advantage.
The point Of this discovery is, the
cheapness of preparation, and the conver-
sion Of surplus growth of potatoes into
q Keeping stock, 10 an elegant, portable
and salubrious form. Our crops OF the
present growth will want some novel means
Of consumption.

The Balloon. The attention of the cit

hood of Vauxhall Garden, to witness the
ascent Of Mr.. Guile in his balloon. The
balloon ascended little after o'clock,
with the parachute attached to it; but, in
spite Of Mr.. CPS endeavours, he could not
supply il with sufficient quantity of gas
to carry him up. His disappointment
aud apprehension were strongly depicted
in his countenance, and excited the com.
miseration Of every one in the Garden.
AT a loss in this state of mind how to pro-
coed, he was, we understand, prevailed

balloon ascend without him. He yielded

II Our citizens are often amused by IN
i &formaron contained in the newspapers
prioted in different parts OF the union, OF
I interesting and extraordinary events said
Z to have occurred in this territory. A
Smong other news which has been pretty
widely circulated, we find statement Of
romantic love scene, between young
Indian aud Mrs. Somebody, who was a
passenger III the Steam Boat TO Macklna.
There is also statement in many papers,
made on the authority Of 6 letter from
d gentleman at Green Bay, dated July
10, I8I9," which tells us oil An extra
Ordinary visitation Of flies at that place.
1t is said they covered the face Of the
whole earth, and obscured the sun, moon,
aud stars" of course. e The heavens
were darkeued by them cornields were
Frustrated with the clouds that settled On
them ;--lrees were covered with them
and the branches thereof bent and broken
down" This is not all" The millions
thai hourly died, infected the atmosphere
I to such degree that it became unfit to
breathe" But, as consolation during
this terrible visitation, it was graveiy
stated that the flies devoured the musque-
toes, and that the cattle. swine and In
disns devoured the flies, on which they
laftened amazingly.
Both OF the stories above alluded to
are hoaxes. The love speech, said to
yhave been made by the young Indian,
came from the brain of the person who
caused the story TO be circulated-and as
70 the fly story, we have only to request
that those Ohio or other editors who have
given the Detroit Gazette credit for it,
would correct their mistake.

At Moran, The gale was not severe !;
but as passed st. Pierres, l saw or 5
vessels on shore.
AT St. Barts it must have been dread
lui, beyond The conception Of any person
who never saw the place before and since
the gale 1t is said to have been more de-
strnctive than any which ever preceded
it, in the memory of the oldest iuhabit
ants. Every vessel in port, without q
single exception, went on shore, most OF
which will be totally lost. A great many
OF the houses and stores were blown down,
and number of lives lost. The hurri-
cane came on SO violently and suddenly,
that great many persons saved nothing
from their houses, and with difficulty es-
capped with their lives. The streets are
filled with the ruins of buildings, broken
furniture, masts and spars of vessels which
went OH shore, hencoops, binnacIes aud
boats-and so very impetuous was the
wind, that it actually overturned one Of
the kays or rocks, situated off the hsrbor,
which had been standing perhaps ever
since the creation of the world.
ST. Martins has suffered equally with
St. Barts. Six boiling-houses we're all
that were left staDding-and it is said
that i47 lives were lost there-and few
at Anguilla, which suffered more, in CON-
parison, than either St. Barts or ST. Mar
tins. Antigua had not been heard from.
