LORENZO DOW.

Last evening the celebrated Lorenzo Dow
preached at the market house in this town. His
text was, ssCome. for all things are mow ready"
His manne, to us was rather singular.-His
beard was very long and his appearance gener-
ally that of a man who had been worn down
with fatigue, and long labor in the service of his
Master. He disposed of pamphlet relative to
his trial and confession, in S. G. Those who
wish to see it may get a few copies by applying
to him. He intends preaching at IL o'clock
tbs morning. -

THE GAZ ETTE.


Whence did this proverb arise -" Under
tie rose be At spoken"s
The rose being dedicated by Cupid to Har.
pocrates, the god of silence, to engage him to
conceal the o of Venus, was an emblem
of silence; whence to present it or hold it up to
any person in discourse served instead OF an ad'
monition that it was time for him to hold his
neace: and in entertaining rooms, it was Gus
tomary to place a rose above the table to signify
that what was there spoken should be kept pri'
vate. This practice is described in the follow,
ing epigram;-
Est rosa qos yeneris, cujuS, quo tacto hterent
Hqrp0crate, Matris dond, decauat amor
lnde rosam meaas hOSpis suspendat am'cas;
Gonviua ct sab ca dicta tacerda scaat.

For III

The want of a proper accommodation for the
confinement of debtors and criminals In this
county, has been oftentimeS expressed and &C.
knowledged. 1t is a sour &c OF regret and asto-
nishuent that in this enlightened period, when
So MANY eudeavors are made, to render the
condition of nan happier; and so much mo-
ne, is sent abroad, for the purpose of convert
inc infidels TO christianity, that at home we
are neglectful of the happiness of our own
~neighbors. Indeed it would seem to one not
much conversant in the miseries of his fellow
beings. that ostentation and a parade of religi-
Gus enthusiasm were the prevailing character
isticks of the dav. instead of furnishing sums
of money to relieve the distresses of our own
citizens, the most active and strenuous exer.
tons are used to send missionaries and bibles to
far distant regions, of whom we have ever
scarcely heard or read. and with whom we
have no connection, political or religious. 1t
seems, these very charitable people would soon
er agree to squander away their money in the
idle attempt to christIanize the Mussuiman,
than to bestow that money with the view OF
aifording consolation to the man already a
christian. These people appear to have for
gotten the principles that charity begins at
home, and that he who does not provide for his
own household, is in the language of Saint
Paul "worse than an infdel."
Slch IS the fact. however, that thousands of
dollars are annually sent out of this country,
and no question, not a verv inconsiderable sum
from this county IN proportion to its wealth,
with the expectation, as thev saw, of christian
iziug heather lands. | have no possible obiec-
ton to the circulation of the gospel, and to the
planting of it in every part of the globe, when
these and other equally as good works, have
been accomplished at home. 1t ought to be
granted by every patriot and good christian,
that we should exercise and extend our princi-
Piles of benevolence in our own land, before we
attenpt ID diflse them abroad. These re-
marks are necessarily pre6xed, in order to

fMPORTANT-FROM CANTON.

We subjoin a letter from Canton, with
which we have been obligingly favored
by a commercial friend.-It announces
a serious rupture between the British and
Chinese, the consequences of which can.
not be readily forseen.-The situation of
the place is described by other letters. as
truly deplorable. The withdrawal of the
British, with all their treasure, had occa.
stoned a complete suspension Of trade.
The lower classes OF people were out
rageous against the Vice Roy, thinking
that he had compromised the honor of the
Chinese Empire, by yielding two of his
strong est points in his demands, and by his
understanding to send Populations down
the river, begging the British to return
and resume their trade. 1t was generally
supposed, that when the Emperor should
be informed Of the conduct of the Vice
Roy, and of the concessions he had offer
ed to the British, that he would order him
to be decapitated. These advices are re-
ceived by the gen. Hamilton, arrived at
Providence, R. |.

STATE PRISON.

Extract of a letter to the editors, from a
gentleman belonging to Portland. dated
Philadelphia, May 4, 1922.
"They are laying the foundation OF a
new State Prison in the vicinity OF Phl'a.
deIphia, upon an expensive plan, but
think a very excellent one. | have not yet
visited It, butam informed the plan IS to en-
close ten acres OF ground with a high ana
strong stone wall, as a general prison yard
This enclosure is to be subdiyided by high
walls into as many separate enclosures as
they have prisoners. Each seperate enc!o-
sure is to have a cell for one person only.
So that the prisoners are to be kept entire
ly seperate, 10 see no person but their
keeper. from the day they go in till the
day they come out, and yet to be kept con-
tinually at hard labor.
"It is believed this arrangement will an
swer every purpose of solitary contDe-
ment, and still the public derive as much
benefit from their labor, as would be derI-
we'd, if they were allowed to work togeth.
er in the usual way. 1t must however ne
cessarily follow THAT the expenses for keep
ers and overseers will be greater than it is
in common prisons; yet think the advan-
tages, in a moral point OF view, that will be
derived from keeping the prisoners seper-
ate, will more than compensate the public
for the extra expense incurred.
Providence, May 8.
A few days ago, a large quantity of A.
merican brown cotton was bought up IN
Boston for the South American market.
1t is sincerely hoped, that the adventure
will be a profitable one to the merchants
concerned, and that hereafter; the products
of American manufacturing industry. will
form no inconsiderable proportion of our
exports. We cannot doubt that American
! cloths at from III to l24 cts. here, will
do as well among the South Americans as
Calcutta white cloths, be their prices ever
so low.-Let purchasers only take the
trouble to calculate the difference in weight
between equal surface of American and In.
dian, and the superiority of the former will
be apparent.
The parcel Of goods above mentioned is
said to have consisted of about 10000 yds.
Now supposiDg them TO be all narrow
goods their export value IS ten thousand
dollars. The raw cotton from which they
were spun has cost New England (paid for
in cloths) about p5,875. Gained by New
