c. A M7R1fgRIFs,


Our columns are much occupied, today, a
giving the details Of Legislative proceedings, for
which we trust we need not apologize 10 our
subscribers in this state. We have published two
letters from correspondent which will intro
duce our readers Familiarity 60 the business Of the
LEGISLATURE, and TO some of the motives which
have had 40 influence upon events. These will
be found interesting.
We have looked over a large file Of papers,
received from different parts Of the country, but
find few subjects particularly worthy Of notice.
FOREIGN advices have been received from Lon
don to the It'll Of December. They announce the
dissolution Of the Congress of Verona, and init
mate that il was probably the last which would
be held By the Holy Alliance. There appears to
be a cloud arising over the Pyrences. which
forebodes a gloomy day to France and Spain
we ardently hope it will not shed its contents of
blood upon the beautiful plains of those two
countries.
The diary of Congress furnishes subjects of
very little interest. The Secretary of the Ma
w has made bis report upon the naval peace
establishment. He recommends that il should
consist Of I Rear Admiral, conmodores, 25
captains, 80 masters commandant. 100 licuten-
ants. 400 midshipmen, IS surgeons, As surgeons
mates, 40 pursers, chaplains, 90 boatswains,
90 gunners, Is carpenters, and Is saiimlkers.
The whole number Of men, including officers,
seamen and boys are not to exceed $500.
We regret 10 learn the death Of the Hon. VIM.
Lowndcs, Of South Carolina, late an esteemed
and valuable member Of Congress. He died at
seq, on bis passage to Europe, for the benefit Of
his health.
J The Bill for dividing the State into seven dis
tricts for the choice Of Representatives to Con
gress, yesterday passed to be engrossed in the
House. II provides that the election shall be
held on the first Monday in April, biennally
that the counties of York, Cumberland, Lincoln
Kenuebec and Oxford shall constitute one dis
irict each; and that Somerset and PenobscOt
shall constitute one, and Hancock and Washing
ton another district.

THUNDER STORM.

There was violent thunder storm at
New London. on Monday week. The
sloop Experiment, Taber, from New
Bedford, for New York, put in there
for harbor, and had just come to an
Choir, when she was struck by lightning,
and the mast, and topmast were consid-
erably shattered. The captain and four
men, on deck, were knocked down, and
were for few moments senseless, but
they received no permanent injury
Twelve or fifteen passengers in the ca
bin were not injured. A barn in New
London was also struck and consumed.
A woman named Mary Coon, char
ged with the murder Of her child, is
shortly to be tried in the city ofN. York.
We understand, says the Commercial
Advertiser, the case of this woman to
be one of the most peculiar and inter-
esting that ever has been presented to
an American courh ID jury. Her eoun-
sci are confident offer innoeence; but
the circumstances are such as to in
volve the greatest doubt and. to give a
mystery TO the affair which greatly
heightens the interest II is on every sc-
count calculated to excite.

Portuguese Ultras should retain their

Cabinet feel? It win be recollected
that Il was the ministers of England
who prevented the Constitutional gov
ernment Of Portugal from forming an
alliance with the SpaDiards; England
throws away the game; France lays
bold of the cards which her rival had
abandoned. Mr.. Canning thwarts and
disappoints the Spanish Cortes; he in.
directly helps to overthrow those Of
Portugal. The French Bourbons come
and seize the reins Of govcrnnacnt in
both kingdoms---thus effecting, with
the concurrence Of an English Cab

The whole scene was solemn and
affecting, rather than amusing. The
specimens Of composition s. cioquence
were suchas to do honor to the Insti

taste, learning and piety, in the youth
who are to occupy the most important
and influential stations, warrant the
hope Of great good TO civil and reli-
