Internal improremsnt.-A report was
made in the House of Representatives
on Saturday last, by Mir. HemphiH,
Chairman Of the Committee on Roads
and Canals, containing general views of
the subject, the extent andimportante Of
which may be estimated by the contents
of a bill reported in connection with it,
not ol course with a view of its being
acted upon at this session, but TO present,
in the most definite shape, the opinions
of the Committee on this subject. The
bill, thus reported, proposes to author
ize the President Of the United States to
borrow, on the best terms he can, any
sums OF money, not exceeding in the
whole, ten millions of dollars; which
| sums are to be borrowed at such times
as may be necessary for the purposes
contained in the second section of the
bill.
The second section proposes to au-
thorize the Secretary Of the Treas ury
to make subscriptions, on the part of the
United States, in such companies for in
ternal improvements as may be incorpo-
rated by the respective States, and as
Congress may approve from time to
time.
The third section contain restrictions,
rachase the stock subscribed in such
STATE, and take a transfer of the same
from the Secretary of Treasury.
The fourth section directs the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, as long as any
stock belongs TO the United States, to
receive the dividends on the same, and
to vote for the officers of each company,
according to the shares subscribed.
We shall shortly find room for the
whole report. The above sketch, mean
while, exhibits its main conclusions. An
extra number of two thousand copies
was ordered to be printed forthe use of
the House. Nat. INTEL

The Brig Hunter sailed early in tho
last month from Norfolk for Liberia.
This vessel has sailed with sixty-seyen
emigrants, under the patronage of the
COLONIZATION Society. The funds for
their transportation have been obtained,
principally, through the exertions of the
lev. W.ltiam M'Kenney. from liberal
societies and individuals in the lower
countries Of Virginia. II accompanied
the emigrants,n says this gentleman,
"below Old Point Comfort, and can tru-
ly say the gratitude they expressed for
the little trouble have been at for their
accommodation and comfort. and the
prospect of their joining the little band
at Liberia, gave me indescribable plea
sure. The prayers they put up, on part
ing, for their frieads, and those through
whose b~snevolence their was made plain
to the land of their ancestors, would, /
think, have converted Nr. - HIM
seif.'
Several of the passengers in the Hum
ter were emancipated by benevolent
masters, that they might become mem
bers of the African Colony. A dispo-
sition to send servants as freemen to AT
RIGA, is, we learn, not rear, and, as the
Colony & is seen to prosper,ie
must, unquestionably, become more fre-
quent. In the part Of Virginia, TO which
we have alluded, the design of the Co
lonization Society has acquired much
popularity, and in many parts of North
Carolina it receives the appreciation of
many OF the most intelligent and reflect
aus men. Ibid.

AT PErERsRURe, the storm is sub-
scribed 10 have been very severe. lie
crops in the vicinity are much injured,
particularly the Wheat. As an'evidenee
says a Petersburg paper0 that the
storm was unusually severe below, a sea
bird, (the Petril, commonly called Mo
Their Cary's Chicken) was shot at Po-
cahontas bridge on Saturday, having
been driven hfther from the ocean by
the fury of the tempest.
Ar BosToN, the storm commenced
on Saturday,-about the time it was
experienced in this city. We are graft
fed to learn, however, that it was moi
attended with disastrous consequences
The state of Ohio was visited by a Sc
we're tempest, on the 18th ult. A whirl-
wind, which commenced near the west
line of Licking county, proceeded north
east, with the sweep ofa mile in width;
and, on nearly bali a mile of its centre
line, left not a tree standing. The lit-
tie town of Darlington, 10 miles north
Of Granville containing 80 dwellings, re-
ceived the whole ofthe fury ofthe tenn
pest Every dwelling was demolished
most OF them being uplifted from the
foundation, some of them in solid mas
ses, and others in pieces, and hurled 10
air.-Large trees were seen as high in
the ARA the eye could reach, turned
round as in a vortex. Three persons
were killed, three Others MORALLY woun-
ded, and several were injured less seri
ously. The cattle were nearly all Kill
ed. Such are the particulars as far a.
they have t%ranspired. The citizens o.
the nearest towns turned out TO relieve
the distressed and houseless inhabitant,
and the physicians were constant in THEN
attendan e on the wounded. Other
towns appear 10 have suffered; but ne
where else do we find any details which
can come into comparison with the a
bove.

The pamphlet contains more than one
hundred pages, and is ~dedicatedto John

shelving the Commodore's reasons for
making the publication, is perfxed to
the work:
"The reader will bear ia mind, that

duct of the court, to which the subject
