ton on their next trip, on Monday, July 10, and
arrive at each of those places on Saturday the
25th''-thus occupying 10 days in passing
from one place to the other, including stoppa-
ges. The Mail Stage now goes from Boston to
New-York in SO hours, and to Philadelphia in
so hours.
In Great Britain, the improvement has been
nearly as great. An advertisement of the
Stage Coaches in the Newcastle (Eng.) Cow-
rant, in 1712, says, "All that desire to pass
from Edinbro' TO London, or from London to
Ednbro', or any place on that road, let them
repair to Mr.. John Baillie's, at the Coach and
Horses, at the head of Cannongate, Edinbro'
every other Saturday, or to the Black Swan, in
Holborn, every other Monday at both of
which places, they may be received in Stage
Coach, whichsperforms the whole journey in
thirteen days zvithOut any stOppoge, Of God per-
nuit) having go able horses TO perform the

Lincoln, and Ebenezer Tory, Esq's. were ad-
mitted to practice as Attorneys, at the late
term Of the Court of Common Pleas, in this
town.
BLACKSTONE CANAL.-From Fl. Hutchin-
son Fec tba E,o;noa, -, All. Torol - 1ou..
that several miles of the lower end of the
route are under contract, and the excavations
commenced on different sections thereof. Pro-
posals have been received for nearly the
whole distance, from the Blackstone Factory
TO Providence, which is II miles. The whole
of that distance, it is expected, will be con-
tracted for and commenced this season, and
completed next year. The engagements Of
the Engineer in experimenting the work, will
probably prevent his locating this end of the
Canal before next Spring. 1t is the intention
of the Commissioners to have the whole work
completed in the course of the year 1927.
Rhode-Island Election.-The Election for
Representatives to Congress has recently ter
minated, after warm and animated contest,
in the choice of Tristram Burgess, for the
northern section of the State, By majority of
above 800 votes, over his opponent, Samuel
| Eddy, the late member. For the southern
section there is no choice. Mr. Pearce and
Mr.. Durfee, the late member, have nearly an
equal number of votes. Scattering about 500.
Messrs. Eddy and rearce were the caucus
candidates. A violent attempt was made by
| the exclusives to resuscitate old party feeling
in favor of the former against Mr.. Burgess
| The failure of this attempt is honorable to the
intelligence Of the people, who seem disposed
no longer to submit to the dictation of inter-
ested leaders, or to allow party violence and
| intolerance to pass as substitute for talents
and worth. Two of the Republican papers
in Providence, the Journal and Inquirer, took
an independent stand in opposition to the eau
Gus.
Brown UNIvERsITY.--TheC Commence
ment at this Seminary takes place this day.

Pond of Ward, and one will be delivered to-
morrow before the Federal .4delphi Society,
by Thomas Kinnicut, Esq. of this town.
The Songs Of The Welsh Bards," copied
from the r. |. American in our last paper, was
from the pen of our friend f. whose writings
are familiar to the readers of the Spy. We
intended last week to have said, but through
inadvertence omitted it, that the Editor of the
american is under mistake, in his guess that
the writer is Lady.
CON-. STEwART.-The evidence in the trial
of this officer is closed, and the defence has
been read, and is published in the National
Journal. The general impression is, that he
will be acquitted on all the charges and speci-
| fcations.
