SABBATH SCHOOLS.--we understand
that the Rev. Mr. Brown, of South Kingston,
a gentleman of acknowledged piety, and un-
assuming manners, has been endeavofing dur
ing the last week, to establish in this town a
Sabbath School,upon scale of extended lbe-
rnlity and usefulness. The efforts Of this wor-
thy gentleman have been sustained and en-
ieourage!b by some ofthc most respectable citi-
.zcns Of this place, by the aid and influence of
their names, as well as by their personal exer-
tons in promoting this deserving and highly
interesting object. We are not at present.
sufficiently apprised ofthe details of the plan
TO give correct, or even general view Of it
We recollect, however, from a very hasty
reading Of the constitution Of the school pro-
posed to bc established, that the system con-
templates, almost exclusively, the individual
interest and benefit Of the poorer classes of so
ciety, by instructing them in the primary
branches of ofeducatlon, and iInpressng on their
minds lively and dcep:rooted love of virtue;
by inspiring then, with high respect and We
neration for every thing that is calculated to
render man useful and happy here, and for ev-
cry thing that authorises him to hope for hap
piness hereafter. We shall endeavor to give
in another number, more full and distinct
account of'the plan and general operations of
this school as set forth in the constitution.

MILITARY-,The Artillery company un-
der command Of col. CRANsros, and the Inde
pendent Volunteers under the command of
capt. TRIpP, formed the escort on election
day. The line was drawn up in front of
Townscnds about 10 o'clock His Excellen.
cy tho Governor, His Honor the Lieutenant
Governor, and both BRANCHES ofthe Legsla-
tufe, followed by a great number of citizens
and strangers, constituted tho procession,
which then moved off to the State House We
never recollect Of having seen in any place
whatever, two finer military companies than
tlpse we have mentioned. Each Of them APP
peared i'll an elegant and perfect uniform /; and
each performed number Of evolutions with
great precision and military skill, and we are
happy to say that the best understanding, and
the. mest perfect cordiality were manifested by
each company towards the other throughout
tho day. We hazard nothing in saying that
these companies are under a discipline as per-
feet as that of any other two companies IN the
State The members of each respective corps
are entitled to great credit for the exertions
they have made, and the time and attention
they nave devoted, in order to raise their mi
litary character to that highly respectable
standing they now possess. The companies,
after cscorting the procession in the after
noon, from the Court. House to Townsend's,
fred salute in honor of the Governor after
which the commissioned officers of each COM
pany wore introduced to His Excollency, who
received and treated them with great polite
ness.
'The Artillery company wore that day for
the first time a new standard which they re-
Gently purchased This standard is a bcauti-
ful and finished specimen from the palette OF
Mr.. j. r. Smith of New-York, painted on
dark blue mazarine silk, and in point of design
and execution is equal to any standard We have
ever seen.' In the foreground is represented
cannon proper at the trail, implements of
war are piled round drum at the bseech,
rests an ancient shield bearing the pious
motto of our forefathcrs, I" In God we hope. /"
Erect on tho cannon, and with wings extend.
cd is the true American Eagle, painted from
nature, over whose heal rolls the majestic
clouds. On a gilt ribbon, (as if spoken from
the cloods) is the motto of the company, "Fiat
iusttia, ruat colum," and on flowing gihrib-
