A NOBLE DEED.

DSDDs
The schr. President. Perry, of War
rem, from Boston for Thorn s'own,
went ashore on the Whales Back, near
this harbor, on Saturday night last
Vessel and cargo entirely lost. J he
crew and passengers were saved by
the humane and intrepid conduct of
Corporal George M'aalsy, and boats
crew from Feit Constitution. Several
boats had gone out for the purpose of
afiording relief to the sufferers, but it
was deemed impracticable TO proceed
near enough to take them from the
wreck, on account of the heavy sea. the
extreme darkness of the night. and the
very dangerous situation of the wreck,
" hich the fury of the waves was da-h
ing to pieces. In this situation M'Aulc-
put the question I" his boats crew
" Shall we save them or perish in the
attempt 7" EYES, was the unanimous
answer of these brave fellows; and they
INN edlateIy dashed among the break
ers and fortunately succeeded in saving
seven fellow creatures from a watery
grave. The officers at the fort we I'M
derstand, intend presenting M'Auley a
silver medal. as a reward for his meri.
torious conduct.
We should do injustice to our own
feelings on this occasion did we omit
to mention the lanes of the men who
composed the boats crew, and who
share with M'Auley the praise of this
act of disinterested benevolence; they
are as follows, viz: Pierre F. Braute,
Thomas Custis, Benjamin Boynton,
and - Nicer.
aCard.-Capt. Perry and MIR. Glea-
son, of the schr. President, which
stranded on Saturday night last, on the
Whales Back, near Portsmouth Light,
tender their grateful and sincere thanks
to Corporal George M'Auley. and the
crew ofthe boat from Fort Constitution,
who bravely, at the risk of their lives,
ventursd through the breakers and saw
ed the unfortunate crew and passengers.
Also, to the officers of the Fort for
their kind attention and assistance.

MURDER IN PENNSYLVANIA.

In the Court Of Oyer and Terminer, tor
Lang sster county at April sessions last, Will
liam. Hamilton was tried for the murder of
Ann Persoll. This man, it seems, with one
John Burke, with whom he boarded, came
home intoxicated, and afterwards drank
more liquor. The prisoner wanted to take
hi. little daughter to bed with him. Mrs.
Burke objected The prisoner quarrelled
with her and threw her down-took his
child and run up stairs, declaring he would
"shoot any one, who should come into his
room" Some of the neighbors came in,
among whom was the deceased and her BRO
ther-d;auk an, sang songs-Prisoner from
his room ordered them out. Mrs. Persoll's
brother bantered and quarrefled with him.
But Hamil on remained in bed. Mrs. Per.
soil went up to reconcile the fray. Anoise
of the guns going of was heard. Mrs Per
soil exclaimed, ".My God Hamilton, you
have shot me-" He got water for the de-
ceased, took his gun, and concealed himself
in a neighbors cellar, where he was ia
ken.
Verdict, Murder IN the tecond degree.
Sentence, eighteen years confinement at
hard labor in the Penitentiary of Pbiadel-
phia, FIVE years Of which time he shall pass
In the solitary cells.

may be increased thousand fold. This
circumstance will keep down lhe market
generally; but there is another cause that
will operate on the market of the southern

cultivation in their East India colonies jul
dicioasly and extensively. 1t is true it is
not so good as ours; but the manufacturers
say it is good enough for their purposes.
