From the Newark CentineI.

Astonishing Not long ago asserted
10 the town of Newark, in the presence of
number Of the inhabitants, who were
speaking of interest, that one cent at six
per cent. per annum, compound Interest,
would in 1900 years amount to ten thou
sand times the bulk of the earth in solid
gold. Some who were present seemed
to discredit the assertion. / have since
made calculation, and now state as fol.
lows in round numbers less than true.
The amount of one cent at the rate be.
fore mentioned for 1900 years exceeds
35,54eoOo, 100000 100000, 100000, oOoO-
00,oO0000 dollars * and supposing the
earth to be 5000 miles in diameter and 100
dollars of gold TO make a cubic inch. it
would exceed 2729, 100000 ,OO0OoOt times
the cube of the earth's diameter, or II
would make a block 1ll80000OO miles in
length, width and height.

THE PRESIDENT.

From the Nashville papers we learn,
says the National Intelligencer, that the
President reached the residence of Gen.
jackson on the evening of the 9th inst.
and was expected in Nashville on the 9th
inst. We think it more and more likely,
as the season advances, that the President
will find it necessary to abridge his To-
tended route, and return without visiting
st. Louis though the extensive arrange
ments for the Western Exploring Expedi'
ton. would make his visit there, at the
present moment, particularly interesting.
We have learnt, from private letters. that
this expedition has met with an obstruc-
ton in its progress, at st. Louis, Of what

NEW-YoRK, June 81,

From India.-It will be seen by our
Marine Intelligence, that the very fast
ship TEA-PLANT, Captain Robinson, has
completed her voyage TO India and back
in eight nonths-unprecedenled, we be-
lieve for despatch.
1t also appears, from Capt. Robinson's
journal, that as late as the 9Th ultimo,
Bonaparte was in good health, but con-
tinued in his sulky mood.
Capt. Robinson has favored us with
Bombay papers TO the 18th of February,
but they contain no news Of an interesting
nature.
The war in India is carried on with
great slaughter. In storming the Fort Of
Nowah, by the British troops, the garri-
son, which consisted OF 500 men, chiefly
Arabs, (having twice refused to surren-
der, and all their attempts to escape prov
ing fruitless) were the greater part OF
them put to the sword-345 bodies having
been buried after the assault, and 100 be-
ing prisoners, of whom 80 are previously
wounded.
In another affair, zoo OF the rebels, as
they are termed, were put to the sword.
The strong fortress of Raree has capt.
ulated to the British, after long siege.
The garrison consisted of 1900 men. We
may now consider, says the Bombay
Courier of February 9th, the whole line
of Coast from Cape Comorin to Jigat, as
either in our possession or under our con-
troll.
Private accounts from Calcutta to the
4th February, mention, that the crops Of
cotton this season are expected to prove
very abundant.

Distressing Occurrence.-Last Saturday
afternoon, party, consisting Of six per
sons, {viz. Messrs. Samuel Whiting, -
Fisk, Adam Love, William Love, Simeon
Jones, and - Weaver went from Long
Wharf 10 small boat, on claiming ex-
cursion. The afternoon was boisterous.
At distance of about three miles from the
wharf, and nearly midway between the
beach aud the lighthouse, a sudden flaw
struck the boat, which carried her gun
vale under being balIasted with stone,
she Immediately filled and sunk. Will
ting, Fisk, and A. Love, were drowned
the remaining three saved themselves by
swimming. Fisk, who was no swimmer,
probably drowned soon after the boat went
down. Whiting seized an oar, and sup
ported himself with it for a while, but
was soon exhausted and sunk. Adam
Love held on for time to the skirts of
Jones' coat but Jones, finding it impos-
sible to save both himself and his compan-
ton, drew knife from his pocket, cut off
the skirts Of his coat, and escaped. He
swami nearly two miles towards the wes-
tern shore, when he was taken up by a
canoe, completely exhausted: heis now
seriously i'll. The other two, with diff
Guilty reached the eastern shore, which
was less distant than the western.
Mr.. Whiting, We believe is the only
one who has family lit is remarkable
that his father, some years since, was
drowned near the same spot.-The par
ties we're all residents of New-Haven, ex-
cept Fisk, who was a stranger.

BARKER's EXCHANGE BANK.

In consequence of the suspension of the OPERA
tons of the Exchange Bank, on Tuesday last the
feelings of the public have been much agitated.-
BY the following article, from the Columbian of
Wednesday, it seems that many persons entertain
the opinion that the endorsements of that insti
tuition will be but temporary we believe far
greater number are of the contrary opinion.
The great excitement which has pre-.
vailed on account of the suspension of
payments at the Exchange Bank, we are
gratified TO observe has somewhat sub
sided; and much confidence is entertained
that Mr.. Barker will eventually meet his
engagements. The state of the circulating
medium has, for long time, rendered the
transaction of business very embarrassing,
and enormous sums have been paid to
brokers for exchanging deprecated paper.
1t is painful to reflect that vast sacrifices
are daily made by those least able to bear
them. The suspicion that we are but
beginning to feel the reaction of the paper
system, gains ground; and every prudent
man is making the best possible prepare
ton for the gathering storm.

Watt of Glasgow, has accounted for this
brilliant phenomenon in new way. The
common explanation is, that the drops Of
rain act as prism, and divide the rays
Of the sun but as the rainbow is fire..
quently seen in a quarter where no rain
is falling, as the edge of cloud is, at
such times, always observed between the
beholder and the sun, DR.. Watt thinks that
the rays of the latter are refracted from
this edge, and thrown on the dark sky
opposite. This does not seem SO much
like a new theory as modification OF
the old. 1t still produces the rainbow
from the refraction OF drops of rain: and
the fact that the colours are thrown upon
the sky in a quarter where there is no
rain may be considered as an accidental
circumstance.
Grass RopeS.-There is grass, the
product OF New Zealand, which, from
some experiments made at Portsmouth 10
England, appears to answer adj the pur-
poses OF hemp in the manufacture Of
ropes. 1t is strong, pliable, and soft
may be cut thrice a year and can be
brought to England at the price of eight
pounds per ton, or one seventh the price
OF hemp.
Linen and Thread from NsttlcS. The
Irish have recently made some expert.
ments upon the flos of neitles, for the man.
ufacture Of thread and linen; and the
result is said to be, that both these arli-
Giles are obtained equal, if not superior to
the thread and linen from flax.

Many Of the panes of glass we're large

10 some instances, doors and window

houses, furniture sustained considerable
damage.
The hail stones, upon an average, we're
Of the size of ounce bullets-many twice
as large, measuring from three to four
inches in circumference.
We have not heard Of the loss Of any
lives, though of many bruises and hair
breadth escapes. Many horses aud cattle
received injury, and some were killed.
This hasty sketch, we are confident,
will give distant readers but an imperfect
idea OF the appearance of the storm, or of
the consequences resulting from it. Never
did We witness such spectacle Of gran
deur and terror combined-never did the
warning elements seem TO threaten more
general destruction. The reiterated and
heavy peals Of thunder; the tremendous
rafting of hail; the crashing of trees !;
added to the sable appearance of night,
illumined by flashes of lightning, tending
to give only glimpse Of the horrors Of
the scene, were sufficient to appal the
St0ufest heart and In eyinra IN mort a Is
their inability TO Withstand the power of
omnipotence.
Such was the force of the wind during
the storm, that in some places oak trees,
two feet in diameter, were completely
writhed or twisted from top to bottom, and
bent to the ground, without being broken
asunder. Did We not know this fact from
observation. we should not presume to
give it publicity.

In inserting the following article, from late Phi
ladelphia paper, we comply with the request Of
several friends, who think the observations it
contains peculiarly applicable to this town.
"The pressure for money 10 this city
is greater than we ever remember it, and
the want of confidence is even greater than
the want Of money. There are number
OF busy interested people who run about
and, 10 every one who will listen to them
whisper, in confidence, that A. and B.
and G. and d. are hourly expected to
stop payment. These whisperings are
then by unthiDking people whispered to all
who listen to them, and thus solvent and
respectable individuals aud firms are
brought into discredit, pushed by their
creditors, and at length compelled TO make
assignments. We would recommend that
this practice of whispering down peoples
reputation and credit, be discountenanced.
1t is very mischievous. 1t can do no good,
and may do much HARM"
