Celebration of Freedom.

On Monday, the Africans, and de-
scendants Of Africans. in this town, held
their annual commemoration of the COM
mencement of measures for the aboli..
ton of the Slave Trade. A respecta-
BILE procession passed through many
streets to the African Westinghouse
The Rev. Hosea Ballou delivered the
discourse this year. A dinner was serv-
ed up in the African school-house. The
blessing was craved by the Rev. Thorn
as Paul, and thanks returned by Mr..
Samuel Snowden. Every thing was
conducted with order, and the company
retired to their homes two hours before
sun-setting. The streets were nearly as
much thronged as they are on Election
and Independent days; and as when
President Monroe, and some of our ma
val worthless, passed them in procession /;
but the cheers were not so loud, nor so
unanimous.

We learn that a fine ship is getting in
order, to make voyage from this port
round tie oorld. She will be command
ed by Capt. o. Sullivan, and, after trad
ing to all the ports in the Indian Ocean,
and Persian Gulph, will return home
through the Pacific. This will afford an
excellent opportunity forme Of science,
and young gentlemen of leisure and
fortune, to make voyage SO fertile
in interest, and so promising in improve
ment, and under the care of an enterpris-
ing and worthy citizen.

This wolf, although not in sleeps clothing,
stopped last Sunday evening, at Phelps's tav-
ern, in Windsor, and, after calling for some
punch and a supper, announced himself a
minister Of the gospel, and proposed to preach
the next day, if notice could be given, The
family not liking his appearance, very proper
ly neglected to give notice. He spent the
night, and after taking some bitters and his
breakfast, departed, without the knowledge
Of any one, and without paying. for his enter
-tainment.
Excepting his apparel, which was mean.
his appearance was quite decent; and he is
undoubtedly man of some knowledge. He
observed at Mr.. Phelps's that he was Professor
Of Geology, Mineralogy, and Natural PHI
losophy, in the College of William and Mary
Virginia, with salary Of. 5000 dollars per
annum, although his duties were discharged
in six months. He also said, that he receiv-
ed his collegiate education at New-IIaven,
about ten years since, and resided in the fam
lily of President Dwight that he had sister
in that city, and was going to visit her; also
that he was in the employ Of Medical socie-
ty.
If ON any wretch in society pubfck indig-
nation ought to fail, it is on him, who, under
the specious garb Of religion, attempts to inn
pose on his fellow-men. And, beyond all 9TH
crs, is he to be held in adherence, who, des-
titute of common honesty, offers himself, as a
preacher of righteousness. 1t is. hoped that
this villain will soon be arrested in his career,
and that he will receive, from the hand Of
justice, the punishment he deserves.

WOODSTOCK, July TO.
Caution to those 7vho undertake to

Caution TO those 1Ui70 undertake. to
manage Cannon.
BY the politeness of a gentleman
from Castleton, we are enabled to give
a more particular account of the acct
dent which happened at that place on
the 9th ult in consequence Of the hasty
and imprudent manner in which the
cannon was managed. While ramming
down the cartridge, the powder took
fire. Two men and lad were nearly
in front of it. One of the men, Mr..
Moore, was thrown about two rods, his
leftarm was torn in shocking manner,
and he was otherwise variously injured.
The other man (Mr. Drake) was
very much bruised, his clothes mostly
biswn off and burned, especially his face
and eyes; his aspect was very forbid
ding his eye-balls scorched and other
wise much burnt. A large piece of the
hammer pierced his breast; his left arm
much lacerated, many splinters required
cutting out, and the hand torn.
The other young man, aged about
-, pktlame not reCOlleCted,) was much
burned and bruised, especially in his
neck and face, his arms injured; but he
escaped with the loss of only one thumb.
1t is difficult to describe scene like
this, happening SO Unexpectedly; and
the instantaneous change from mirth
and hilarity, TO seeming death then to
apparent dying groans, with mad deliri-
UNI; subject to no control, but superb
our strength; a change of aspect to the
blackness of the African, besmeared
with powder, dirt and blood. Such
scenes ought to serve as instruction to
more prudence in handling the instru-
ments of death.
We are happy to state that those I'M
fortunate men are in hopeful way of
recovery, and their suferings have
been mitigated and shortened beyond
expectation

HOrrid Murder !!

Early this morning, most barbarous
and unprovoked murder was committed
by an Irishman, named Paul LGureas,
upon the person of young German,
named Clawson, employed as a clerk,
in the store of Mr.. Benjamin Dey.-
The only particulars we have as yet
learned, respecting this shocking affair,
are these: AT a late hour last night, it
appears, he applied at the shop after it
was shut, for admittance, probably to
obtain liquor which was refused
When the clerk opened the door this
morning. to b.. surprise, Laurens was
still stationed at the door, but appearing
Peaceable, no particular notice was TAX
en- of him. A moment AFTER, the ruff
fan, watching his opportunity, sprang
upon, and stabbed him to the heart, and
lie almost instantly fell and EXPIRED
Laurens was soon after apprehended
and committed to Jail.

A letter dated at st. Thomas, July /,

following important information -
I'VE have received intelligence of Laguira
and the city of Caracas having been again
captured by the Patriot corps under Gen.
be-mudez. number of emigrants arrived
here from Laguira on the 28th ult. in the En-
glish schooner Waterloo, who report that place
to have been evacuated, and at the time the
vessel sailed, not forty persons were found in
it, general engagement was on the eve of
taking place between the main armies of the
contending parties. The people of Paragua-
ma, ON the Venezuelan coast, declared them
selves free, and proclaimed their independence
on the night of the Sd of May, without the
least accident having occurred on the occa-
sion. The Congress of Columbia was INSTALL
ed on the 9th May in Roasario de Cacuta.
Coro was taken by the Patriots on the 18th
May, with little loss. Lit. Col. Yehauspe,
who had fled to the interiour, returned with
his division of $50 men to embrace the cause
of Columbia. Bolivar and Paez had formed
a junction at San Carlos; and the commander
of the Royalists, Morales, was concentrating

.Murder-On Saturday night last, a
man, named Thomas Richardson, was
murdered at Freeman's old tavern, on
the new bridge road, about FIVE miles
from this city, by Allen King, county
constable. 1t appears they had been
playing at cards, when one accused the
other of cheating. A quarrel arose; and
they went out and fought. After being
separated, King drew pistol, and shot
Richardson through the head, which
killed him on the spot King fled; but
information of the horrid transaction be-
ing sent to our police officers, they sue
ceeded IN experimenting him in this city
yesterday morning. King IS a good
looking man; and it is said both he
and his victim heretofore enjoyed ex-
cellent characters. Richardson has left
a wife and several children, and King is
but recently married. What an awful
warning this to gamblers and men of
high passions.

Singular Circumstance. On the 29th
of June, as Mr.. John Moule, a respecta-.
BILE farmer of the town Of Montgomery,
was returning home in the evening from
one of his neighbours he was fired at,
with rife, by person concealed near
his own house--the ball passed through
his coat, vest, and shirt, without doing
him any personal injury. This singular
event excited considerable curiosity, and
speculation in the neighbourhood. On
the Sunday following, the same gentle
man was returning home in the evening,
mounted on young horse, and within a
few yards of his door, was again fired at.
The ball passing through his hat, graz
ed the top of his head. AT the report,
the horse took fright and threw his rid
er, which has done the poor man con-
siderable injury. The character given
of this farmer is that of an amiable,
peaceable, and inoffensive citizen. Al
though much inquiry and exertion has
taken place among the citizens of that
town, no traces of the intended assassin
has yet been discovered.

Melancholy Occurrence.
Yesterday afternoon, about four O'Clock,
sail-boat, containing six ladies', three
children, and two gentlemen, going on
an excursion of pleasure, was, a short
distance from the lower end of AIisanna-
street, F. P. struck by flaw of wind
from the land, and instantly capsized
and went down. A small lad on the
wharf observing the event, forthwith re-
paired to the spot in a canoe, and was
instrumental in saving the lives of one
lady, achild, and a gentleman. The
writer regrets that he cannot now call
to mind, that he might record it, the
name of this intrepid and deserving
youth. One of the ladies' chung to the
sail until a boat came to her rescue.
But it is our melancholy task to an
nounce, that three amiable young ladies,
whose virtues and endearing qualities
will be appreciated as long as 6 memo
ry holds her seat" IN the shook and
volume of the brain,' were numbered
with the dead. These were, Miss Ali
sanna Stanley, aged about 10 years !;
Miss Elizabeth Moody, about Is and
Miss Elizabeth Murray, about 18. The
latter was here on visit from the city
of Washington, where her father re-
sides. Thus is another added to the
many heart-rending accidents which re-
suit from the injudicious management of
sail-boats, one which, we trust, will
serve as a lesson of precaution to future
adventurers in, vessels of that descrip-
tion- Almost every citizen can detail
the melancholy fate, from the same
cause, of some kind friend, or valuable
member Of society
