accident happened therc OF this day fort
night. A 10y named John Kennedy, about
twelve or thirteen years old, the son of an
lrish labonrcr who was settled in Exeter.

tree, at some distance from home. While
there, a ncighbouring lad, who was in pur-

rustling among the branches and catching an
imperfect glimpse of the boy, mistook him
Tor an owl and discharged his gun at him.
The Shot entercd his bowels, and wounded
him sosevcrely, that after lingering in great

TALE OF a TIIB.

The ridiculous partially of the multitude
for relics has recently found a grand oppor-
tunitv for displaying itself in connection with
the name Of Lord Byron. The pipe or pun
chcon in which the remains of the d ceased
Poet were brought to England, on being dis
charged from the use to which it was destin-
ed for IL time, by his premature death was
sold by some Of the people connected with
the ship to a cooper of the name of Davey,
who resides in Old street He considered
it a curiosity and set hgh value on his bar
gain, but had not cnjoyed it long when the
Captain or owner Of the vessel in which it had
been conveyed to this country, waited upon
him, and demanded the sarreader ofthc tub,
asserting that the parties by whom it had been
sold had no right to dispose Of It. The ira
dcsman, with blunt John Bull-like rudencss,
refused to give up his prize. He cared no
thing about the rights Of the parties to sell,
OF whom he had bought. 1t was III hispowei.
to prove that he had given fair price for
the article and confident that he had done no
thing wrong, he set the claimants a: defiance.
The latter threatened, but eventually found
that the ceull do no more and the cooper
hoisted the Union Jock over the object in dis
pntc, at once tacclcbratc the triumph which
he had achieved, and to proclaim to the
world the treasure of which he had become
the envied posscssor.
The contentious, thus terminated, attracted
considerable notice. To the friends Of the
5rie icttrc& in tho North Eastern district, it
appeared no ordinary occurrence that a pun
chcon which at.bccn used for 50 memorable
4 purpose, as that Of carrying the mortal ~,
mains Of the departed Poet from Greece to
England, should be exhibited ia their neigh
sourhood, and hundreds repaired to Old
street, TO get sight of it.--l'hc cooper gave
his treasure a conspicuous place at one cor
ner Of quadrangle which includes his out of
door stock. The words Lord Byron have
been painted in large white letters on it, that
the gazers may not waste their attention on Z.
less distinguished vessel. Some ofthc slaves
we hear, have been substractcd from the
pipe and manufactured into various small ar
ticles One ofthc persons to whom portion
oi It was transferred, has had it made INTO a
box, and another still more cmincntly to dis
play his tts!e, has given to his prize the form
OF a Y20oR But the pulcheon nearly entire
still retains its place, and will doubtless,
prove very profitable sign to the cooper.

FROM GUMS VISIT TO SPAIN.

In Seville the houses are mostly built according
to the eastern fashion, seldom consisting of more
than two stories, and constructed round the four
sides OF an open area. which as have elsewhere
observed, is called the Patio The front door
which is open from morning till night, leads TO a
short entrance which is very neatly paved with
brick or polished tiles. From this passage, called
the zdgunn, IAN Arabic word for potch) another
door, which is generally shut. leads to the interior
square, or PATH. This inner door, is someti mes
OF oak or mahogany; but usually Is formed OF
iron bars. arranged often in light and fanciiul
style, handsomely painted and gilt. Through tais
dpor, any one passing in the street may observe
tbs economy Of the patio, which is honred with
polished tiles, sometimes planted with shady trees
but more generally decorated with vases in which
the most fragrant roses aud other flowers are grow
ing No contented with the number of flower poi !
which they can conveniently arrange the noe
OF the patio they have also half fiat vases which
ave suspended the walls all round. In this place
are also sometimes glass cupboards, in which all
the rrhes oil the house in China ware set out,
and wired cases, in which books are arrayed 10 the
shaie. 1t is quite refreshing to pass from the
burning streets into one OF these nymph like aoodes
where GOODNESS and shade are at once to be obtained
In some, there are handsome fountains ever Weld
ing pure and cool streamlets and the tiles are
kent constantly cool by sprinkling them frequently
with watec.

RHODEISLAND.

The Caucus presses abroad, persist in asserting
that the electoral votes of this State Will BE- gwen
10 Mr.. Crawford. In an article recently published
IN Maine paper, and ascrbed to the pen of Mr..
Senator holmes, it is boldly declared that Rhode-
island Is tred'-in favor of Mr.. Crawford No
thing can be farther from the truth. We will not
undertake to pronounce with certainty what effects
may be produced on the public MUD, before the
18th OF November, by The potent federal and repub.
lican gentlemen who have engaged in "a coai-
tton' for the purpose of aiding Mr.. Crawford
but we will venture to afiru, that were the ques
llon now TO be decided, the majority against NJ
u would be OVERWHELMING. The PEOPLE are
now Fced IN favor OF another candidate, and there
IS no reason to believe that they will be coaxed OF
driven into surrender of their prepossessons
Every day serves to strengthen our belief that the
electoral votes of Rhode Island will be gwen to
John Quincy Adams as President, and John CaId'
