Warren, Nay 6.-By the poIiteness Of Capt.
Matthewson, late Of the brig Radius, of ?rovi-
dence, who arrived last evening in the brig
New Columbia, from Malanzas, We have been
furnished with the particulars of the loss of the
Radius, which was destroyed BY fire in the har.
Dor Of Matanzas, on the evening Of the 10th
April Capt Mstthewson was confined to his
birth by i'll health, at the time of her loss, and
supposes the FIRE to have originated through the
CdTeleSoHeSS OF the object VINO was IeIt In the
hold to superintend the slowing of the cargo
At about halEpast eight the crew were awaken
ed by thick smoke issuing through the fore
castle bulk head. and one man smothered be-
fore relief could be afforded. The master sue
ceeded in saving her cables and few other ar.
licles, when she went on shore and was burnt
to the waters edge. The radius was owned by
William Church, Esq. Of Providence.
a letter to the owner, states further, that the
cargo consisted of 300 hhds. molasses and l25
boxes cigars, the vessel being slowed full abaft
and the matches closed. The writer adds
Il cannot close this without mentioning the
prompt and active exertions Of Capt. Wilson,
Of the U. S. schooner Fox, his officers ard men,
in saving the sails and rigging until they
were driven by the fire from the stern into their
boats. They Immediately boarded her again
on the bows and continued there until they were
obliged to abandon her to her fate"
We understand the brig was insured at the
Marine Office and the cargo belonging TO Capt.
Church at the Union Office in this Town. The
rest Of the cargo was on freight.

MIR. FARQUHAR AND FoNTHILL ABBEY

Early in !, fe thi, modern Croesus wss o gay and
gallant soldier, serving in the east. lie knew the
pass 10 a strong stockade or native fort; and although
his military rank did not entitle him to command,
he was ordered to lead the corps destined
to sustain it. He guided them through the intri-
cate %iungles and mazes, and led them, with his bro
Their officers 10 storm the works. While displaying
the gallaptry Of an English officer, he was shot thro'
the leg; the wound proved troublesome, caused the
lau,eless he now suffers, and 40 injured his hea 18th,

country. We believe that Lord GIVE was then
the Governor of India, who hearing OF the wound
and gallant conduct Of young F~ARauHAR, proiIered
him his protection. Nj +. had studied chemistry,
particularly the most improved method OF making
guupowder; he had observed, in common with
others, that the powder used by our troops was
very inferior, and possessed even less force than
that used by the enemy; he proposed to improve' IT;
his proposition was acceded to, and crowned with
success. He followed up his success, and soon be-
came the possessor ofconsiderable works, and had
privileges granted him NJ a reward for the advau-
tages derived through his skill. Money, at that
time, in India, was more valuable than in the pre-
sent day, and the produce of his industry soon IN
creased both in principal and interest. MIR. Y.
pursued many ofthe mercantile methods then avail
able, to add to his fortune. Among them was the
formation Of great iron works, which he now pos

iron implement and nails. used throughout British
India, is fabricated. The revenue arising from
these great manufactures accumulated until III.

Reconnaissance.

We understand, that Governor Tyler left this
city on the 10th inst on tour OF Observation
He goes directly to the Balcony Falls, to inspect
the works here progressing, and the canal and
locks constructing through the mountain on
James River. He is thence to proceed up James
and Jackson's river to the mouth of Dunlap's
Creek, and pass westwardly on the Turnpike
Road to Kanawha river. He will probably pro-
coed on to the Ohio, stopping either at Point
Pleasant, or the mouth of Guyandotte; at which
latter place, il is believed, should the i-egisla-
ture decide to continue the Kanawha Turnpike,
that this road will terminate. We understand,
that in this great work, the Governor is deeply
interested, and an ardent advocate for its adj
vancement. He will probably, in due season,
communicate his views to the public, in relation
to STATE internal improvement; and which, il a
dopted and pursued by the state authorities with
the zeal and discretion that become her, may
vet rescue the State from some of the hercsies
with which she is oeset by the overshadowlng
influence the Federal Government L! sup
