AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.


Gu Thursday last, the fourth anniver-
sary of the AMERICAN BIBLE So
CIEIY was celebrated 10 this city. At
9 o'clock in the morning, the Board OF
Managers, and Officers Of the Society
met at the room of the Historical Society
10 the New York Institution; and moved
in procession down Broadway to the City
Hotel, in the Assembly Room, 10 which
the Society assembled. Precisely at 10
o'clock the President, the Hon. ELIAS
BoUDINOT, took the chair, and the meet
ing was opened, after the reading por-
ton Of Scriptures, by the Presidents
Address, which was read by the Rev. DIR.
Romeyn.
The annual report Of the Managers was
then read by the Rev. DR.. Minor, Rector
Of st. Georges Church 10 this city, aud
Secretary of Domestic Correspondence OF
the Society. This highly interesting
document having been ordered to be pub
lished, it will not be necessary to say
much more than that it gratified and de-
lighted highly respectable, numerous,
and attentive audience, by the deeply in

board for the past year, and by the infor-
nation which II contained Of the magnifi-
cent operations Of kindred institutions a.

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM SOUTH

To our esteemed friend aod correspon-
dent al ST. Thomas, we are again indebted
for interesting intelligence from South
America.
POSTSCRIPT.
g The schr. Anu aud Eliza, Capt. G..
M'Carter, arrived here night before last
from St. Vincenls, and only Ia days from
Angostura but as Capt. NC. did not
iniend coming 10 this island when he left
Angostura, he brings neither letters nor
papers. But he brings very interesting
verbal accounts of very great and bloody
action which has been fought between Gen.
Paez and the royaiisi army, 800 miles from
that place--in which. be informs me. the
Spaniards lost EVERY MAN, amounting
10 5000, in killed, wounded aud prisoners.
Great rejoicings were the order of the day
when he left Quay anna, such ringing Of
bells, cannonading, &c. There was an
American schooner there, which ought TO
have sailed the day after this vessel for
St. Thomas, by which we impatiently wait
to receive the important official account
which, so soon as receive. / will forward
10 you without delay.
This action must have been fought
near Calabozo with the royalist army Of
General Morales. who with the whole Of
his forces, must have been annihilated.

Lost Boy. "A curious circumstance oc-
Cured here last week. On Saturday
morning Mr.. Joseph Taylor found little
boy near his lime Kiln, which is about a
mile from Il is borough, sitting Oh his horse
fas. asleep; the boy was about six or Sc
ven years old On being awakened and
asked who he was, he said his name was
$ Bill, sometimesthey called him William.
but he had 10 other name" BY further
inquiries it was made out that the little
fellow was from Delaware county, about
ten miles from this. He had been sent to
a mill near by, but had got out Of his way
and was entirely lost, isisting that home
was the directly opposite from the true
course. His horse was blind, and the lad
said be +" had been to the end Of the road
for it seems his horse had run against
the fence and stopped. He had lost his
bag and hat, and had slept all night 90 the
horses back. Poor little fellow! Mr..
Taylor kindly took care Of him until he
could give information to bis anxious
| friends, aud now he is safely returned
home.

E1eeution.--Agreeably to appointment,
the awful sentence of the law was this day,
at half past ~ O'clock, performed upon
John Hobsou, alias John Furlong (but
has denied both these names) convicted Of
murtier aud piracy. The ceremonies on
the occasion were solemn and impressive
the terrible and ignominious eud of the
unfortunate man, who has thus expiated
his crimes ON the scaffold, must serve as
a striking example to prevent the commits
sion Of similar offences. He was Ro
man Catholic, aud received great atten-
ton from the Rev. Mr.. Gallagher. The
conduct OF Furlong, during the period
Of his being brought from the Jail, until he
was executed, was marked with degree
OF firmness seldom witnessed on such an
occasion. He walked TO the galIows with
great boldness, where he kueIt and prayed
for some time, aided by the priest. He
resigned life with the greatest composure-
and apparently with confident hope o.
pardon for his sins--for such was his cool
ness, when he assembled the scaffold, the
executioner tied but single knot upor
the rope. The culprit remarked that HI
did not understand his business, that III,
knot would slip, and desired him 10 TAXI
two half bitches uponlit; when this wa
done, he said that win do! The marsha
asked him if he had any thing to say
He addressed the crowd, aud said. h
hoped those around him would take war

twice before they acted once. 1t is sup
posed his neck was broke when he drop
ped, as he died very suddenly.
!, Since sentence was passed upon him, h
has appeared to have been devoutly er
gagged in preparing himself for the awfi
change. He has not pretended TO den

iVnNHE subscribers finding it inconvenient to
Il meet every Saturday for the purpose Of

chased Town Lots. in the Town of Alton, of
Joseph Meachan, Esq. prior to the 23d of
March last; have deemed it proper to alter

lieu thereof the following All persons de-
srous OF obtaining deeds from us for the Lots
they have purchased, will please forward to
us their written evidences of purchase, on or
before the tenth day of February next, as we
do not intend to receive any after that periods
And new deeds will be made out for them by
\ the 18th OF next month, and ready to be delv-
cred. We wish this business to be closed aS
soon as possible.
The attention of the public is so frequently
| invoked to listen to exaggerated statements
respecting the advantages, rapid growth, and
future importance of towns that have recently
| been laid off, that the subject is become in
some measure disgusting. We do not feel de-
| slrous, at this time, of saying much to convince
any one OF the future Importance OF this place.
But one thing must be obvious, that the great
road passing through this place, and leading
up the Missouri river to Franklin, travelled
as it is, by SO many thousands of emigrants and
people OF all descriptions, that it truly renders
this place important. The person that can pry
would say, that the great future scene OF COM
mercial business will be near the mouth OF the
Missouri and Illinois rivers; and local situation
will determine the spot where it shall be-
Whether the present course OF the Missouri is
to be diverted, and canal Is to be made from
ST. Charles TO the mouth OF the illinois-and
St. Charles itself IS to be the future resi-
dence of the opulent mercantile men of the
west; or whether they will prefer the hand
| some and fertile plans of Portage de Sioux:
or the modest, but commanding eminences
of Alton ARE questions which the future
will decide. Some one Of them is somewhat
more than probable. If it is to be on the east
side OF the Mississippi, nature has pointed out
the place just above the head of the great
American Bottom. There is not place in
the western country that has greater facilities
! for building town than this. The stores Of
nature are here rich and abundant and let
philosophy designate their use, and industry
apply them.
