From a late London Paper. I

Desperate attempt By the PeleoO Islanders,
The Syren, South Sea WhaIer, Capt,
Frederic Coffin, arrived on Thursday
evening last, at Deptford, after voy-
age of % months, having left Graves
end, August Q, 1922. During the pas
sage out, on Easter Monday, March 81,
1923, while off the southernmost eff the
Pelew Islands, under lively breeze,sev
eral large sailing canoes appeared in
sight, which increased in number to
near 80, each having from six to ten on
board, upon which the Syren slackened
sail, and on approaching many of the
natives called out, as through motives
Of inquiry, "Euglish English % and
being answered in the affirmative, they
came alongside, and with tolerably cor
rect pronunciation, repeated, G Give US
rope," this WIS complied with. From
the generally reported mild and pacific
demeanour of these people, who, to the
number of about one hundred. quickly
crowded the deck. civilties were ex-
changed in apparently the most friendly
manner, and as they brought few pro-
visions with them, and no articles ofcu-
riosity, the crew commenced bartering
for their spears, with which they were
armed, and with which they seemed to
part reluctantly. At this time the YES
sci continued under easy sail, the canoes
closely accompanying then, TO their
companions, in which those on board
seemed in no degree anxious to return.
The mate, who feI. little distrust from
their superiority in numbers, the crew
being only thirty-seven, communicated
his opinion 10 the captain, who instant
ly conceded and gave orders TO crowd
more sail, thinking it wonld induce them
TO depart. This appeared to occasion
some little dislike, and in few minutes
after, while Capt. Coffin was in boat
lashed to the side, giving orders to that
effect, two of the natives, at a precon-
certed signal, it is supposed, suddenly
seized him, and endeayoured 10 throw
him into the sea, while general attack
was commenced on The rest Of the crew.
The Captain disengaged himself, sue
ceeded in gaining the deck, and and call
ing aloud that their lives and the safety

REPRESENTATIVE ELECTION.

Below IS list Of the votes, so far as they
have been received, in the Worcester North
and South Districts. In the North District,
probably no choice is effected. In the South
District the contest has been a close one, but
we believe Maj. Davis is elected unless the
scattering votes prevent a choice.

PROVIDENCE, OCT. ~o.
The Town-Council have recently
caused two Of the constables to take an
enumeration Of the black or coloured
people in town, and they have, with as
much accuracy as possible, performed
the duty assigned them, and have made
rttu of the names of little rising
twelve hundred, designating their ages,
employments and places of abode.
The Council have already commenced
an examination of this list, and intend
To pursue their inquiries into the char
aCter of every individual, and wherever
one is found, of either sex, who is adj
dicted TO idle and dlssolute habits, or
shall be discovered associated with per-
sons of that description, measures as
prompt az the law allows will be a.
dopted 10 send them from the town. and
the sevetest penalties will be inflicted
tor voluntary return.
We would not be understood, howev-
er, in these remarks, TO condemn our
black or coloured population in the
gross. They do not merit indiscriml-
nate censure and many of them from a
long residence are known 10 be sober,
Industrious and respectable citizens
but it is believed lha, large proportion
Of those who reside among US, without
having settlement here, require the
viglant examination of our police au-
thority, and such examination, which
has been recently commenced, will be
accomplished in such manner and with
such alacrity as the constituted authori-
ty of the town may deem for its best in

THE ELECTION

Has, without doubt, resulted in the choice
of the adams list of Electors by an overwhen-
ing majority. Had the selection of the list
been left to the people of the several Districts,
we do not believe that any thing like an or.
ganized opposition could have been got UP
against it. In this town a new ticket com.
posed entirely of federalsts started day or
TWO before the election, and supported
by such as We're satisfied with neither of
the tickets already in nomination. This
probably reduced the number of Adams votes.
without affecting the Crawford ticket in any
way. The following is the result of the BAL
lot in this town.

when caught on some of the banks or reefs OF the
West Indies, is frequently poisonous il eaten, JUST
as muscles are sometimes poisonous when taken on
certain places. The presence of the poison, ws
have heard it stated, may be ascertained by dipping
silver spoon or piece OF silver into the water in
which the fish is boiled. If it becom1s discolored,
it is proof that the fish is poisonous, and, conse-
quenty, unfit for the food OF man.
