FROM ST. THOMAS.

Report speaks very highly Of the
services of Lieut.. SLoAT, at St. Tho
mas, in afording every assistance and
protection to American commerce and
to the Merchants Of ST. Thomas. The
week previously TO the sailing Of the
Elizabeth, arrived at this port, Lieut..
Sloat had been actively pursuing lpi-
rates on the coast Of Porto Rico, and
had fitted out and manned from the
officers and crew Of the Grampus, two
small sloops, which were still engaged
in securing the coast of Porto Rico,
in pursuit of some piratical crews,
which had captured a few days before
and converted to piratical cruisers, two
sloops owned in St. Thomas, the cap
tains Of which accompanied Lieut..
Sloat on his expedition.
During the late destructive fire at
St. Thomas, Lieut.. Sloat and officers
rendered most essential services in ex-
tinguishins the flames and protecting
property.
ST. Thomas is now in state of con-
slant alarm and anxiety, in consequence
of the discovery Of repeated attempts
to set fire to the remaining part of the
city. Charleston Courier.

From the Chester Union, March 22.l

SAMUEL TERRELL, alias Isaac Coo.
PER who had been arrested for larceny,
* committed to Chester prison, broke
Jail on Friday night last. The circum-
stances connected with his escape are
somewhat extraordinary. 1t appears
that Mr.. WEAVER, the sheriff, after
having secured the doors of the prison,
retired. Terrell got to work, and BY
some means or other was enabled to
gain the prison yard, without being
heard, where he procured spade,
which he had used during the day for
the purpose of clearing up the yard
He then commenced digging with an
intention to undermine the prison wall,
which, after obtaining the depth Of
about FIVE feet, he was enabled 70 effect,
and made his escape. The hole that
he dug was just large enough 70 admit
the passage Of his body. The wall of
the prison is about two feet thick. A
reward of ten dollars has been offered
for his apprehension by the sheriff.
1t is fact worthy OF being known,
that there is not single person In con-
fnement in the county Jail, at present.
One of the present amusements ofthe
London public, is that Of listening to
Jean Henri. "Tamboser Major" to Ma
poleon. Mr.. Henri, "plays on fifteen
different toned drums, in soft and har-
monious style, at one time, forming a
novel and complete instrument.-He
causes t,oenty eight drum sticks to Fly
in the air in all directions, catching
them in peculiar manner under his

Gus drums, passing from one to another

RELIGIOUS FANATIcIsM

We have never witnessed more
shocking instance of the effect Of super
stition, and we scarcely know OF an
act SO outrageous to the feelings oil
humanity amongst the followers oil
Juggernaut, or in the annals Of Hindoo
superstition, as occurred in this town
last week.
The unhappy victim who fell sac
rifce in this affair, was a young woman
who had lived in this town a short
time with Mr.. McDaniels as his wife;
and who professed to be follower OF
that fanatical sect called Osgoodites.
Being brought 10 the bed Of sickness,
she was allowed by her deluded lea.
ders, who profess to have power to heal
diseases, no other aid than their pray
ers, which were kept up with singing,
sc. for about three weeks, when, des-
pairing of working miracle, they
consented to have physician called
in; but it was too late for her TO be
benefited. Her infant child was i'm
mediately laid in the grave-if hole
dug in the ground and the child hove
into it without the semblance OF a cof-
fin could be called grave, followed
by herself in few days, who would
have shared the same fate but for the
Intervention of some of the neighbors.
1t is subject Of regret that our citi-
zens should have remained silent while
this savage act of barbarity was perpe-
trating. We do not wish to deprive
any sect of their religious notions, but it
certainly would have been an act wor-
thy of christian people to have inter-
fered in this case and snatched the UNI
happy sufferer from the jaws Of death;
and we feel confident that such an act
would have stood approved in the sight
of heaven. Santornton, nv H. J Ga2.

From Tampieo.--A gentleman arrived
here last evening in the brig Albert
from New-Orleans, who left Tampico
on the goth ult. He informs, that 8
schooners under American colors, had
been taken, aud one sunk, by two Mex
lean government schooners, all from
Havana, bound to the Castle with sup
plies. The schooner which was sunk
by shot from the Castle, had been
raised, and her cargo saved with but
little damage, and conveyed to the
castle. Two Spanish frigates, three
sloops of war, and II gun-boats, with
troops, had arrived to relieve the gar
rison.-The British frigate Hussar,
capt. Harris, was taking in specie for
Havana. embargo was laid at Al
varado about the 10th ult. until 5000
troops were embarked to take Gen. St.
Anna at Campeachy, to convey him 10

tor had been ordered to Mexico to an
swer for misconduct at Soto La Mari
ma. Four hundred highway robbers
had been sent to the public works at

We understand, says the Charleston
Courier, that on Wednesday last, MIR.
WILLIS of this city, presented to Gen.
LA FAYETTE, his Son, Mr.. La Vasseur,
and Mr.. Huger, copies Of letters from
General WASHINGTON, written during
the Revolutionary War, and since, to
the marquis CHAsTELLux, on various
subjects. They were presented to Mr..
WILLIS in Europe, in the year 1900, by
the widow of the Marquis. They are
to be published on Monday next, and
the proceeds will be given to the La.
dies Benevolent Society.
Preparations are already making at
Cincinnati, (Ohio) for the reception Of
LAFAYETTE; who is expected to be at
that place in the month of May.
A mostmelancholy suicide was COM
mitted in this township last week, by
Miss Esther Stocking, very respec-
table young woman. The circumstan.
ces attending it were nearly as follow:
On the morning of the 9th inst. she
rose from her bed, and flinging shawl
over her head, walked about mile to
bridge over the Sugar cneek, from
which it is supposed she precipitated
herself into the water. Her shawl and
hair-comb were found upon the bridge,
soon after it was supposed the deed
was committsd-the alarm of the
Observation-Disclosures Immediately excl
ted, and search was diligently made
until the morning Of the Ilth, when
she was found near the mouth of the
creek. Some time previous to the act,
it had been observed she was remarka-
bly, melancholy; which was owing in
a great measure, as is supposed. to hys-
terical affections. A jury of inquest
was held, who found verdict of "vo-
luntary death by drowning."-Miss
Stocking was an amioble young wo-
man, and though an orphan she sustain
ed an unblemished reputation and bore
a character Of the first responsibility.
