TELEGRAPH.
A case has recently occurred here, when
is well calculated to show the great utility
and importance of The Telegraph recently
established at this port, The brig Mary, OF
New York, bound to South America, went
ashore on the West Bank, in the lower Har-
Dor, on Friday, about o'clock P. NJ The
day was thick and rainy, but notwithstand'
ing that circumstance, intelligence OF the
disaster was communicated so rapidly. that
within ten minutes after it happened, the
owner was Informed OF it, and Immediately
procured lighter and number Of men, and
within two hours was along side OF her
ready to render her any assistance that her
situation required. There is every reason
10 believe, that without the benefit OF the
Telegraph, the news Of the misfortune would
net have reached the owner earlier, at least
than Saturday morning; during which peri.

WET SEASON.

WET SEASON.
| The rain which has already fallen, since
the opening OF Spring in this neighborhood
is supposed by many to be double the whole
quantity which has fallen in any season lor
three years past. We had on Friday an un-
| usually heavy fall of rain, which lasted two
hours and half, by which our small streams
| were swollen to heigh! which they bave
! not attained for four years before. Yester.
day morning it commenced again, and ram
| ed the whole day, but not immediately, on
the already saturated ground. A luxurIant
growth of corn and esculents is the conse-
queuce; but so much rain is injurious to the
bay harvest, and we are sorry to learn that
in the Upper Country its effect has been
| more extensively prejudicial, The follow
ing is irom the Fincaslie paper OF the 10th

A patent has lately been taken out, we
are informed, for an Improvement in the
construction of travelling carriages. The
Improvement consists in providing, without
any injury to the beauty, or alteration of the
form of the carriage for the perfect safety
of both travellers and baggage. By the fall
ling back of what is called the safety car
riage, safe and easy retreat is afforded to
the passenger in the event of any danger
from the fright or running away of the her
ses, and from the space provided in front Of
the carriage, the baggage is not only carried
with complete safety, but the weight is
brought, where on true mechanical princi-
pies, it ought TO be, On the forward wheels,
and as near the horses as possible. Though
the invention is extremely simple, and e.
wolves 10 new principles of mechanics, or
new application of old principles, it may
vet be of great practical utility and impor-

lie will be induced by the two strongest mo-.
tives of human action, the sa fety of Lille and
properly, to afford an extensive patronage to
the impro vement by its general adoption -
The cost of it. we understand, will be tiff.

(son DIR. Marshall, of the Navy Yard,)
and nine men: when the boats crew
were ordered to toss their oars by Mr..
M. being close to the wharf, the soldiers
on guard fired into her; killed Mr.. M.
and four of the men; four more badly
wounded, and one only escaped to bring
the news. Those who were not killed,
or wounded at first were pelted while in
the water with stones, by these blood
thirsty villains. There is no excuse for
them; there could be no mistake; the
American flag was flying in her--the
same boat went on shore every morning.
The crew were selected as being the
most trusty and peaceable men in the
ship. Mr.. Marshall was selected that
morning, as particular confidence could
be placed in. him, though but boy of
perhaps eighteen. 1t is impossible for
me to describe the sensations this affair
has caused on board the feelings of all
are almost wound up to frenzy for their
murdered shipmates, and the indignity
offered to our flag.-But l have not yet
done.
On the morning of the 9th, the schoon-
er Rampant, OF Baltimore, got under
way, by agreement with the authorities
on shore, to receive her cargo. Imme-
diately on her coming within gun shot Of
the castles, they opened upon her, with
all the vessels, gun-boats, &c. in the har-
Dor. The captain and officers, Gas there
was but little wind and that right on
shore, Immediately abandoned her, and
she sunk before the numerous gun
boats, &c. who valiantly came out to take
her, could get her on shore. We now
communicate with the shore but by flag
of truce-I nope we shall communicate
no other way. Is that proud flag which
humbled the naughty Briton, to be wan
tonly insuted by pusilanimous, coward
ly, lilly -livered Spaniards Are our in
nocent shipmates the pride and future
hopes of our country, 10 be thus wanton-
ly massacred! butchered and even de-
MED christian burial There is, in my
opinion, but one way to make them atone
Tor it, and hope the government will
adopt that without moments delibera-
ton. AT the time Mr.. Marshall was
murdered, Captain Downes and Mr..
Rodgers were in Lima. On Captain
Downes' passing the Viceroy's Palace,
several officers and citizens were over
heard to say, Z" there goes the rascal
we will have his blood next - The ex-
cuses made by the government for all
these outrages, is that they were COM
mitted by an enragcd populace. ! have
before heard of mobs committing the
greatest excuses, resisting the civil and
military power, flying in the face of JUS

a mob, which at the most could not con-
sist OF 1900 men, taking possession of
castles, armed vessels, batteries, &c. de-
Tended by at least 5000.
Captain Downes and Mr. Rodgers had
to disguise themselves TO get on board.
Capt. d. left all his baggage and two
servants in Lima-whether he will ever
get them or not is uncertain.

Theliollowing extract Of a letter writ

information Of the bloody conduct Of the

our felbw-citizens.
"Calao, U. S. frigatc Macedonian,
NOVEMBER IL, 1920. 5
GAS you, no doubt, long before you
receive this, will have heard of the out
rage which has been committed on our
flag here, l will briefly state to you what
| was ar eyewitness of, and what has
since traaspired.-On the night of the
9th inst. AZ half past IL, lord Cochrane
sent in fourteen boats to cut out Spa
nish frigate (the Esmeralda) ofss guns
she was lying within musket shot OF the
batteries, with IS gun boats, and two
briggs of Is guns each, around her. He
succeeded in gaining possession of her
in about fifteen minutes. We lay about
half cables length astern of her. AS
soon as he had cut her cables and laid
her head off shore, the batteries, castles,
hulks, and in fact every thing that could
mount gun. began to play away upon
her; upon US, and even upon the inof-
fensiye merchantmen in the harbor.--
We and all the American and English
merchantmen Immediately slipped our
cables, and as the wind was very light, it
was some time before we could get out
of reach of their guns. 1t appeared to
me that they pointed their guns particu-
larly at US. The shot few about us
thicker than if we had been engaged
with a vesse! Of the same force, within
musket shot. But, as is usual with cow
ards, they were too much confused to
take deliberate aim, otherwise they would
have sunk US in ten minutes. The only
injury we received was our cross jack
| yard shot away with little Of the rum
ming rigging. Immediately on slipping
our cables we laid the ships head the
contrary way to the Esmeralda's and KEEP,
her so until out of gunshot, at least hall
a mild apart: so that it is self-evident
there could be no mistake in their firing
at us. If any other proof was wanting
the fact that we picked up at least do
zen musket balls on board after the al.
fair, would Immediately set it at rest.
/ On the morning Of the 9TH, we sent, a:
usual, boat ashore to market, with Mr.
