.4nothsr attempt upon tie Bank.-On
Wednesday night last, some villains en-
tered the entry window of the Cheshire
Bank building, forced the door into the
banking room, and commenced their
operations upon the vault, with crow
bar, which they left. The outer sheet
iron door was wrested from its hinges /;
but all attempts upon the solid wrought
iron inner door were unavailing. They
decamped with no other property than
about 81 in cents! poor remuneration
for the risk of five years hard labor in
the States prison.
Two persons, strangers, are now pur-
sued.

house, cabinet-maker's shop and two
barns at Waitham, were destroyed by
fire on Tuesday, 7th inst. The house of
Col. Townsend as burned, with near
ly all its contents, including the towns
records, some money and papers, &c.
The girls from the neighboring facto-
ries are said to have rendered great
assistance to the engine companies and
citizens by their exertions in arrestng
the progress of the flames.
.4rtillery Election.-On Monday, June
G, the g Ancient and Honorable Artille-
ry Company" composed principally of
officers Of the militia, celebrated their
one hundred and eighty-sevenh anniversa-
ry, in this city. At IL O'Clock, the COM

consisting of his Excellency Governor
LINCOLN, aud suite, members of the
Legislature, civil and military officers,
strangers and citizens, from the State
House to the Church in Chauncey Place,

.Nerc Vessel-The lamentable acci.
dents which have taken place, and the
numerous lives which have been lost
by the bursting of steamboat boilers
have tended much to ipjure those boats
by lessening the public confidence in
their safety. The recent disaster has
given rise to a contrivance by which
the danger of steam boilers will be done
away, at least SO far as passengers are
concerned. We perceive by the New
York Evening Post that a vessel is now
constructing in that city, on a large
scale, which is to be completely fitted
up, with separate apartments, and in
every respect on the plan of hotel, Sc
that gentlemen and families may be ac-
commodated with separate rooms and
tables. The boat is to be unincumber.
