Cubd.-There are strong indica-
ton Of an attempt on The part OF Mex
leo and Colombia to emancipate Cuba
Much alarm appears to have been ex.
cited among the Spanish authorities at
Matanzas, and precaulionary.measures
are Adopted. The inhabitants, we
presume, are pretty generally dispo
sed 10 accept Of independence, be it
offered by whom it may. There
are certain powers in Europe, how
ever, which have, for some time past,
cast a longing eye towards this island
and it is probable that they will not
regard with indifference any effort TO
place it beyond their grasp. Spain
herself, perhaps, will scarcely remain
an idol spectator OF such effort. Troe
it is, that she has not the force, suppo
sing she has energy enough,to prevent
the emancipation OF Cuba, by any di.
rect exertion of her influence; but she
may negotiate away, either 10 France
or Great Britain, any claims she may
possess on the island, and thus induce
one of those powers to interfere. We
hope this will not be the case; but
when we cast our eyes on the map OF
North America, and see the impor-
tapce of this lite tongue OF territory
issuing out of the mouth of the Mex
lean Gulf; and then look to the un-
wearied assiduity which England dis
plays in the cultivation OF her COM
mercial connexion with Mexico; we
may stand excused if we feel some
apprehepsions on the subject.
We subjoin a paragraph which
seem to justify, i'll some degree, the
fears we have expressed

TAs .Money.--We have not known for
many years SO great a pressure on al
most all classes OF citizens, in relation
to money concerns, as experienced here
last week. To what cause the scarcity
Of cash is to be attributed, it is not in
our power to say. The banks, believe,
without exception, refused all accom-
modations in the way of new discounts:
and specie, probably CT to the amount
Of ONE OF two Of them, have been ira
yelled from Salemto Boston, then ce to
Hartford, back again to Boston, via.
Providence and Portland, SC. SC. In
this state of things, il IA perhaps i'm
possible for the banks to discount notes,
for il was pretty evident that their capt.
tai, instead Of being in their vaults, vas
ON ,eheeis travelling about the country;
and if, perchace, it happened to get in
TO State street, it could hardly be taken
from the wagon, before a draught from
some rival institution was presented and
it was under travelling orders
There is general belief prevalent in
the country and city, that the present
difficulty is brought upon us by the sys
tenn lately adopted here by the five as
ISOLATED banks, of taking bills of the
country banks at par, and demanding
specie of those banks in exchange for
their bills. Whether this belief is well
founded, or not, is not for us to deter
mine. The fact that it exists, and that
1t has excited a general indignation "a
gainst those banks, is not to be denied
or concealed. 1t is incumbent on those
who understand the operation Of the sys
tenn, and improve it, to come forward
and appease the public feeling BY a sa-
tisfactorv explanation. We know it is
said, that they are not bound to answer
every idle squib published in the news
papers; and written by brokers, whose
craft is destroyed by this policy; and we
admit that they are not. But the pre-
sent excitementis not confined to a few
money brokers it pervades every class
and profession; and we contend that
those on whom the imputation of produ-
cling the difficulty falls, are bound, in du-
ty TO the public, s from considerations
Of self respect, to comeforward and jus.
tify the system they have adopted, if it
can be iusti6able; and if not, to ac-
knowledge their error and renounce, at
once, the short-sighted policy.

1t is stated, as a rumour, in the LoA-
don Times, that both the Earl Of Liver
pool, and the Chancellor Lord Eden
have determined to support, in the
House of Lords, the Bill for the Eman.
cipatinn of the Catholics. Both these
peers have, heretofore, been the strong
and consistent opponents of the mea-
sure; and, if they have changed their
opinions, there is little doubt Of the
passage Of the Bin during the present
session. We see no reasons assigned
for this unexpected conversion. II il
be true, it may have arisen from an in
dicaiion, on tbs" part OF the King. that
he still retains his early opinions in ia
your Of the measure.

Singular Bear Fight.-A short time
since a couple Of young men were TAX
ing a Sundays walk in the back woods
OF She.hequin when they CHANGED to
meet an old bear and her cub. The
young heroes held a council of war and
determined to give chase to, and attack
them. Acc ording they stripped them
selves for the afray, and each armed
with a club started for the bears,
they soon ~overhauled the young n
and dispatched it, but its hideous cries
called the old one to its assistance, * the
young men were obliged to prepare for
the attack. The old bear when within
a couple Of rods raised upon her hind
feet and with her mouth wide open,
frothing and foaming, continued to adj
vance.-They squared themselves, and
a severe and doubtful struggle of Is or
20minutes ensued, during the whole of
which time they were unable to touch
her head with their clubs, so completely
did she parry every blow with her fore
feet, and it was not until she wheeled
to retreat that they were able.t to level a
blow across her nose which brought her
down, when they were able to dispatch
her. This singular and courageous act
will do the young men honor: had tho
deceased Putnam been present. he
could hot have done more; and his
famed wolf hunt scarcely surpassed the
Shsshequin Bear fight.

MELANCHOLY CASUALTY.
Precedence Rhode Island,) May 2.


1t has rarely fallen to our lot to record
a more distressing event than the fol-
lowing. Yesterday noon, as five young
lads were sailing down the river, a flaw
of wind cspsized the boat, which imme-
diateIy sunk, and before assistance
could be rendered, four out OF the five
were drowned. The slocp Candidate
passing up the river, rendered every as
sistsnce in her power as soon as she dis
covered the situation of the unfortunate
young men. but before her boat could
reach the spot, four bed sunk, aud they
were able to ave but one, who was al
most entirely exhausted.-The names
of those drowned, were George b. A.
born, aged IS years, son ef Captain
Burrows Aborn, a highly iutsllEgen, and
promising youth, who for some time
had discharged the duties of clerk in
Mr.. Towards Brokers' Office; Lemuel
Bishop Lippitt, aged ~, Raymond
Green Lippitt, aged Is, and james Rus
sci L;ppitt, Ia, all soRs Of Richard Lip
pitt, Esq. Of this town, Cashier Of the
UnionBank. In the loss Of all his survi-
wing sons, except one, in mis- sudden
and appalling manner, who were youths
Of uncommon promise, and of excellent
character, Mr.. Lippitt and his family
have experienced an affection for which,
it would be unmeaning to offer the ordi-
nary consultations under similar priva-
lions, and in which his friends and fell
low citizens can only extendto him those
symphathies which every man, and es-
pecialIy every parent, wiIl SO deeply
feel on this occasion. In the death Of
his son Captain Aborn has lost the
principal object in which his parental
affections and anticipations were center
ed, and at bis age Of life must feel the
severity of the blow with an agony
which all deplore, but which tune alone
can alleviate.
AS soon as the melancholy intelli-
gence reached town, the steam boat
Fulton, Capt. Bunker, proceeded down
the river, provided with the resuscita-
ting apparatus, in the hope of recover
ing some of the bodies, but without sue
cess.--A dog who was on shore in the
boat, carried on shore two Of the hats OF
those drowned. The boys were good
swimmers, but owing to a fresh breeze,
and the distance they we're from the
shore, became exhausted before assis-
lance reached them.
