A pirate PUNISHED.

A PIRATE PUNISHED.
Between the hours Of l2 and O'Clock
yesterday, John Furlcng alias John Ho6son,
convicted of piracy before the U. 5. District
Court on the eth of March last, suffered an
ignominous death, pursuant to the sentence
oithe law. A death be justly merited. lie
was accompanied to the place of execution
Sy the Rev. Dir. Gallagher, of the Roman
Catholic Church. who was an instrument,
we hope, OF opening bis eyes to the pros
pecls of another and better world. Al Inc
gallows both Joined in prayer, and fervenliy
impored mercy and forgiveness from the
Throne OF Divine Grace although the crime
for which he suffered was oil the most aggra-
waited g. blacklist die, be appeared to resign
life with the utmost composure, ana WINE
standing at the isthmus between temporal
and an eternal world, he wisely observed 10
all around him, the necessity OF thinking
twice before acting once. The CROWD OF
spectators was very numerous, aud the scene
swiully impressive. He was executed near
the Jail, and in sight OF the three other pl-
rates, who were condemned and sentenced
TO be hung at the same time, but they have
been repriyed, We learn, until the S0th day
Of June next, when in all probability they
will share similar fate May this example
prove warning to the objectionable crime
of piracy, and terror 10 all evil doors ; as
justice has at length unsheathed her sword,
and mercy flies with averted face from The
splerdor its beams.

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
To our esteemed friend and correspondent
at ST. Thomas, we are again indebted for in-
teresting intelligence from South America.
The cenienIs ofthe following letter, received
from him, are Of peculiarly important
char eter, The royal army, of 5000 men,
under Morales, entirely destroyed in Carac-
c;;s which must, as consequence, give the
full possession OF that province 10 the pa
trlots--the people OF ali the towns and pro-
vintes under the government Of Buenos
Ayres, universally joining the standard of
Generals Carrera and Ramerez, who with
their patriot meuntaineers, threatened that
place, which was expected to fall-are AMI
mating incidents in the history of the South
American struggle. which presage speedy
aud decisive emancipation OF heroic millions
from the thrsldom of Spanish tyranny.

BRoNCHoToMY.
We feel it our duty to advise the public OF
a surgical operation performed few days
since by DR.. Cogswell of this city. The pa
tient, a most interesting little girl about 8
years old, is the daughter of Mr.. White, OF
New. York, and grand daughter OF judge
Trumbul. The accident which called for
operation was. the Judgment OF tamarlnd
stone 10 the tranchea, or wind pipe--lt IS
called in technical language bronchotomy,
and consists in Gu ting into the front part OF
the neck down to the wind pipe, which is
ther opened for the purpose ofexracting the
offending body. This operS,i)n was borne
with most astonishing torlitude by the little
patient. So soon as the wind pipe was cut
open, the stone was projected about two
teet by the force OF the air expired by the
lungs; and thus the patient was preserved
from Certain death.
Bronchoton,y, though in idea most dreadful
operation, owing to the part into which the
incision is made, is yet attended with no
hazard to the patient, when performed by a
skilfu surgeon, and considering the many
instances in which children as well as adults
have lost their lives by accidents for which
this operation is certain remedy, we can
not but conclude that il is not performed SO
frequently a. it ought to be. 1t may be re-
marked, that several OF the most eminent
surgeons III Europe as well as in this coun-
try, have never performed Bronchotomy.
