CIRcus-The public will be pleased to learn,
that SAMUEL McCRAcKEN, Esq. gentleman who
has for several years been sdvantageously known
as the manager ofseversl of the most eminent Cir
cuses in the United States, is about to establish in
this town Circus, where will be regularly, for
stipulated seasons, presented to the public eoues
trian performances. In connexion with the e.tab-
lishment, will be riding school, where such ofthe
youth of the town as are anxiou, TO became ac-
quainted with the management of the steed will
be taught that most useful and interesting art.
Mr.. McCRAcKEN comes among US highly ac-
credited, and with ample Testimonials as to his re-
'ponsbility as man and rs a careful manager,
and will, we confidently believe, give ample satis-
faction to those who take an interest in the estab-
lshment over which he will preside. Wherever
he has been, he has met with unbounded success,
and given evidence of his entire fitness to manage
tho various concerns which have fallen within hi,
charge The undertaking is made by Mr.. Nc
CRAcxEs, with an expectation and conviction.
that, by uniting Rhode-Island Circus with those
under his controul in New-York and Connecticut,
he will be enabled to establish a regular chain Of
establishments, which will give permsucnoy to his
designs, and enable him to serve and please the va
rious communities, among which he may casually
sojourn.

VERY IMPORTANT FROM SANTAoo.-The Ed

Captain HULL, Of the United States Navy. In he
second place, he advises us, that BOLIVAR, {" pro-
nounced Boleevar, accent on the second SYLLABLE >
has, for one OF ms Aids, the wife Of an English Off
Ger: and in the third place. that he " is finished de-
bauchee in his private character, and destitute OF
political integrity" In the fourth place, he in.
forms us that there no religion in South -Ameri.
caand that the marriage ceremony is there perform
ed, just as they perform it in nameless temples and
that if Miss HART were to enter on marriage cove
nant with BOLIVAR, {" pronounced Boleevar, ac-
cent on the second sylable,' the union would be
Illegal, illicit and corrupt, and deserving of the exc
Grafton the North American people. How fortu-
nate is that man who has foreign correspondents !
and how much more fortunate is that man who has
a correspondent at the Legation At Santago!!
All this information may he true, but we doubt
it, and as far as Miss HART is concerned, we ven.
ture to say, that her gallant would
never consent to see her welded, even to so illus.
trious an individual as the Liberator of South.

ADMINISTRATION PREsSEs.-Thers is some.

which party they belong, or who they mean to ad-
vocats.
paper published in this town every Monday and
thursday morning, for instance, is sometimes found
warmly advocating the measures of the Admins
tration, and at the next moment, openly, though
perhaps unintentlonally, opposing it. The Panama
Mission, Tor instance, was favorite topic with Mr..
ADAMS and his Cabinet, and every effort was made
by the President and his friends to brn it to sue
ce,stul issue. Indeed, this subject seemed to be
the great point Of dispute between the Executive
and his opposers. The proposition was argued with
all the energy of the friends Of the Administration
preparations had been amply and fully made to carry
the project of sending Commissioners to the Panama
Congress-the Secretary of State wa. fully advised
OF the designs Of the South american S.ates-the
question was settled, and harmony was once more
restored to the councils Of the nation, when the Sc
mi-weekly newspaper. published Mondays and
Thursdays, asserted, upon authority, that the South
American Provinces had refused to send delegates
to Congress-and that Congress aoould not be hold
en-. The annunciation Of this fact, caused little ex.
citement when the gentleman was called upon to
say, when and where he derived his information, TO
which he responded that the United States sloop OF
War Hornet, was spoken off the Brazilian Banks,
then some eighty ninety days from Cape Horn,
the Commander Of which vessel. had not whilst on
the coast OF Patagonia, heard one syllable of the
subject. This he considered proof positive of the
fact, that Congress would not be holden -
And in corroboration Of this, he farther stated that
the American Legation at Santiago, from whom let
ters have been received by the ship Fame, Captain
Brown, then arrived at New-York, had not uttered
syllable about the Panama Congress; hence he in
ferred that nothing of the kind could possibly take
place.
Why this attempt was made to impose belief
on the minds Of the public, that MIR. ADAMS and his
cabinet, had called the attention of the National
Legislatureto to the subject of sending delegates to
the South American Congress, without being prop.
erly advised the subject, we cannot tell, unless
the print in alluson is scoverty employed in oppo-
sing the administration.
To many, who at that time we're looking anx.
iously to the result Of the Panama Question, the
conduct Of the Monday and Thursdays paper ap
psarsd somewhat singular, and il was difficult for
them to divine why print, pretending to be the
advocate ofthe Administration, should employ 1t.

JOHN BowERs.-A writer in Thursdays
paper, speaking of the Bowers estate, at So
merset, Mass. induges himself to say that Mr..
JOHN Bowers, the younger, after the demise of
his father, squandercd away princely fortune,
and died beggay.'
The assertion is altogether gratuitous, and has
not the Shadow Of shade" for its Foundation
Mr.. Bowers, it is admitted, was q man Of
convval habits, and spent, very extravagantly, an
immense fortune, but he did not die a begear.-
After his bankruptcy he was for several years as
siduously engaged in mercantile pursuits, and al
though he was not decidedly prosperous, he had
sufficient left for all the necearies and comforts of
life. AT his death, he was engaged in prosecuting
mercantile relations, at Goree, Coast of Africa.
Although he had faults he was good man, and
there are many who survive him, who. ifthey re-.
gret his extravagancies will not consent that his
memory should he libeled with the imputa,ion of
pauperism.
In the year 1917, and 10, Mr.. BowERs was
member of the mercantile house of Snow & Bow
ERs, of Charleston, South. Caroiua-bu. not meet
ing with success in that city, he embarked shortly
after for the Coast Of Africa, where he died, ha.
wing in charge large sums, which were placed at
his controul by mercantile house of Provi-
dence.
We have made this exposition in justice to his
numerous relations in this town, who revere his
memory, and feel themselves injured by the as
sertion, that he died beggar. Had he been re-
duced to the sad situation which the writer in
Thursdays paper assigns him, his relations would
gladly and proudly have rescued him from the ap.
proaches Of pauperi'm and beggery. We repeat
Mr.. Bowers did not die a beggar, but was at the
time of his death, in easy If not in alueut circum-
stances.

RATTLEsNAKEs.-Amo the many raiities Of
fered to crafty public curiosity within the last fort
night, is large collection of Rattlesnakes. They
are worthy the attention Of all, for we should be-
come acquainted with nature. in her most terrify-
ing,ss well as in her srandest or most lovely FORMS
Ofall reptiles, none, perhaps, are more venomous,
or more fatal to man, when bitten by them, than
the Rattlesnake but to see them, at the moment
they would inhict death any other animal that
should approach them, interwine and fold their hor-
rid forms so famiarly and affectionateiy together,
excites our admiration Il scarcely seems possible,
that monsters so hideous, love one another yet
we never saw greater appearance oftrue affec-
tion, than they exhibited.-We have seen the man.
ner in which these reptiles take their food their
favorite game is rats or mice, which they will dis.
patch at single blow, and then very lesurely pro-
ceed to swallow them. They introduce the head in,
to the mouth, and by suction, force the whole BODY
down the throat. While in the act of swallowing.
1t is singular to see the animal passing down the
neck of the reptile swelling it sometimes to three
times its natural size. After taking food in this
manner, they will not require any more, for
months.
There have been numerous writers on the cure
for the bite of Rattlesnake but few have succeed
ed in pointing out certain remedy. The owner
Of this collection by carelessly exposing himself
was bitten by one Of his prisoners; but by imme.
diately making an ineison, in the wounded member
(his fnger) and sucking the blood and poison from
it, at the same time partakins freely of sweet oil
all evil consequences were prevented, and he has
since suffered no Inconvenience from the wound
We were present when young man rashly un.
dertook to play with one, which he had taken from
the cage; he was bitten, and by merely sucking
the blood from his finger, was free from danger in
a few moments.
