NATcHEz, JUNE
SOLEMJN WAkMING.

On the evening of the 95th ult. man
by the name of William Clar, from Pitts
burgh, and late of Baton Rouge, was
killed by stroke of lightning on the
bluff, in front of this city, while standing
under tree for shelter. This unhappy
man had just been indulging in the most
extreme profanity, insulting the Majesty
of Heaven in terms of wanton malignity,
and amongst other dreadful expressions
had just expressed wish that the AL
mighty God wc7lld send flash Of light
ming from heaven to strike nm to death.
The thunder at this moment was ra-
wing, and the lightning flashing through
the heavens in the most appalling and
terrible manner, and in few moments
the boasting tongue which breathed
anathemas against It's Maker, and the eye
that had braved the ayenging flash, lay
stilled and closed in death. He lay Il
scathed and withered corpse on the
blackened earth: and his soul was watt
ed on the red wing of the tempest, to
plead for mercy at the tribunal of that
Deity so lately outraged and defed.-
How weak and how wicked are the idle
denuuciations of man To revile, to out
rage-his fellow man, is wicked; to re-
vile, to outrage, and to defy his Creator,
is horrible.

Eu!ogy-On Wednesday oflast week,
an EuIogy on Alexander NJ. Fisher, late
Professor of Mathematics and Natural
Philosophy in Yale College, was pro-
nounced in the College Chapel by Pro-
fessor Kingsley.
The parents of Mr.. Fisher, and many
of his personal friends, and friends of the
institution, were present TO mingle their
tears in this last triaute Of respect to his
memory. The occasion was unspeaka-
bly, interesting; and the Eulogium equally
distinguished for classical taste, and for "A
just adaptation to its subject. Nothing,
we believe, was said in it, which was not
strictly warranted by fact; and justice re-
quires the acknowledgment, that of few
could so much be said in praise, as OF
Professor Fisher. We are gratiied to
learn that copy is requested for publ
cation, and granted.

Daring attempt AT Robbery, and Death
Of the RObber.
Mr.. James w. Langley, gentleman
who is native of this place, but who at
present, resides in Plymouth, IN. c. in
forms, that on his way here, on Thurs
day last, about sunset, in Gates county,
IN. CO. about So miles probably from
Suffolk, and in a rather solitary road a.
bout three miles from any house, while
leisurely riding along, reclining in his
chair, his horse was suddenly stopped
by stout negro fellow, apparently six
feet high, remarkably fat in the face,
and probably SO or 81 years of age, who
Immediately ordered Mr.. L. to give up
his money, or he would take his liie--at
the same time brandishing long two
edged knife, and approaching Mr. L.
who continued to keep his seat in the
chair. Mr.. L. at first told the fellow
that his trunk contained all his money,
which he might take; but the fellow
immediately replied that he lied" for
he knew he had other money, but pro-
ceeded TO unlash the trunk from the
rear of the chair While he was bust
ed in taking off the trunk, from the
threats he continued to use, Mr.. L.
tound it prudent to take out bundle of
notes which he had in his pocket, and
hand il to him, requesting him to open
them and tell him the amount, for he
intended to publish the circumstance as
soon as he reached Norfolk, which the
fellow said he was welcome to do, and
to say that his name was Pomp. While
the fellow was in the act of oyerhauing
the notes, Mr.. l.. being all the time arm
ed, (of which, however, the robber had
no suspicion drew a pistol from under
his coat behind, and shot him desd-the
contents of the pistol, consisting of 8
buck-shot, passed through his side, IN
der the short ribs and out near the spine
To confirm his death, however, Mr.. l..
dismounted and gave him a blow or two
on the forehead with the butt of bis pis-
tol, secured his trunk again in the rear
of mis- chair, repossessed himself of his
money which Pomp had taken from
him, and drove on.

sis not blinded by the hypocrisy of the

assertion they affirm that mighty fleet

Of 80, thirteen of "a, two of 60, nine of

FROM VALPARAISO.

I0WIMs WtctLt9tHee'-Dy tuC SniP
Carolina-4nn, Capt. Coffin, from Ealpa-
raise, tn, editors of the New-York Ga
zette have received letters from Off
GERS on board the Franklin IA, confirm
ing the report and detailing the partcu-
lars of The loss of boats company be-
longing to that ship. The following is
an extrtct from one Of our letters.
son Tuesday, the 10Th inst. (March)
mostmelanchoiy and deplorable event
occurred in this Bay. On the morning
of that day, a party consisting of seven
officers, viz. Lieut.. James N. Perry;
Or. Cornelius c. Du Puy, Midshipmen
Robert Marshall, John Creamer, Ed
ward PrebIc, Robert B. Coffin and Reu-
ben Il. Pinkham, and three seamen, ma
med John Smith, Melacton c. Read, and
w. M'Danels, all belonging to the
Franklin, left the ship, in one of her
boats, with the design Of visiting Quinte-
ra, small town l6 miles north of this
place, formerly the residence Of Lord
Cochrane.
On nearing the shore, they unexpect-
edly found high surf rolling in, and at
tempting to pass through it, in order to
gain the usual landing place, the boat was
overwhelm by a tremendous surge,
which capsized her and threw the whole
party into the sea- Midshipmen Pink
ham, and the lad M.Daniels were the
only persons who escaped to relate the
dreadful tidings! Messrs. Marshall and
Creamer, although excellent swimmers,
disappeared very soon, and ii is suppos-
ed were carried down by one Of the
seamen who was unable to swim, as he
was seen holding Marshall by the coat.
DR. Du Puy and Mr.. Preble, Meth
er of whom could swim, were supported
and repeatedly placed on the bottom of
the boat, through the cool and intrepid
exertions Of 1t. Perry and Midshipmen
Pinkham; but they were as often over
whelmed and dashed asunder. When
every effort had been bafied, and the
1.-TWO former had disappeared, 1t. Perry
and young Coffin were seen bufeting
the waves, and cbeerfnlly encouraging
each other in their endeavours to reach
the shore. Another and another surge
engulphed them, and their fate was ir-
revocabIy sealed 1t is believed that
Perry, being an excellent swimmer,
might have gained the shore; but his
strength was completely exhausted in
nobly exerting himself to save his untor-
tunate companions.
"On this painful occasion, | feel un-
equal to the task of delineating the char
acters or touching upon the individual
worth of the deceased. The tear which
still glistens in the eye of'every one on
board, from the Commodore to the
youngest lad in the ship, and the sympa-
thetick sorrow depicted in the counte-
nances even Of strangers on shore, de-
clare in mute eloquence that we have
suffered heavy and irreparable loss.
The us. frigate Constellation, Capt.
Ridgeley, had just arrived from Concep-
ton, and would sail for the U. States in
few weeks. The Franklin "a, Com.
Stewart, was still lying there. and would
not probably sail till after the departure
Of the Constellation.
