p-THE THEATRE.-On Monday evening
was performed The celebrated play of Venice
Preserved, after which was presented the
laughable farce of Family Jars In the play
Mrs. Hamblin personated Belvidera, with
much spirit and effect, in which she was sus-
tanned by Mr. Field, young gentleman. who
is fast gaining on the good opinion nd feel
mgs OF the audience. In many of the scenes,
MIR. Field was excellent, and considering his
age, and the little practice he has had, he
sustained the difficult task assigned him. in q
manner, which promises his future excellence
and cminence. Although candour compels
us TO say, that the performance taken as a
whole, was not free from fault or blemsh, il
certainly disappointed cur expectations, as
well as those Of the audience, for all had made
up their minds, that NJ Fold would murder
the character. This yong gentleman, is an
actor of great promise, but he should know,
that he has much yet TO do and that nothing
but industry perseverance and study can lead
him to the goal for which he is an aspirant.-
The partial friendship and applause of his
friends, should not spoil or make him believe
that he has already attained the summit of
perfection; on the contrary he should receive
them as the kind offerings Of his admirers, and
urge HIM 70 renew his exertions 10 attain that
excellence without which the life of an actor
must be wretched

PaoGREss OF MANUFAcrUREs.-N a
few days since saw at the manufa curing estab-
lishment of the Providence Dyeng, Bleaching
Gnd Calendoring Company, spectacle which
vs. would not have believed, had it been most
s"iemtly sworn 10 by the most rigid saia' IN The
community. Il was the operation of singing, ,
one Of the most extraordinary, yet simple ope-
:ations we ever heard OF. The process is car
rieGinto exseution 10 prepare certain descrip-
ton of domestic fabrics for the calico stamp
ing business, and is smpiy this'-Two or three
eces of cotton cloth are wound or cylinder
oswood, from which they are again taken, and
run over the surface OF "rea hot" iron cyl
inder, without injring it in the least. The
iron cylinder is placed on the top of a "ficry
furnace" which is kept as hot as possible, and
yet no damage is done 10 the cloth as il passes
through the ordeal! This operationwe are told
il common in England, but il is novel in this
country, and he that has not behed it, cannot
10 easily persuaded that its accomplishment is
possible. After beho,ling this spectacle, if we
ever had any doubts relative TO the account of
tie Fiery Furnace, INTO which saadrach, Me-
shach, and Abednego were thrown, they were
all dssipated at the instant.
The citizens Of one Of the towns ofthis State
have, from time immemorial been called
Singed Poles" but how they became enti-
tied to the appellation, We do not know; but
irthcy ever went through the cylindrical opera

We yesterday received the annexed note
from the Coroner of Newport, which explains
the mystery attached to the absent sail boat
whose melancholy fate has excited the sympa-
thy ofths public.
''An inquest was held, on Sunday the Sd
inst by the Coroner Of Newport on the body
OF man, floated ashore, at the extreme part
of Coddington's cove or point. From some
papers found in his poci 81 book, it is supposed
his name was Samuel Aldrich. He was about
SIX feet high, light sandy or auburn hair; bad
on close body coat, dark olive vest with
green back, dark pantaloons Sc The verdict
OF the jury was "that he came to his death by
drowning, caused by the upsetting of boat
on Thursday the sth of May last, near
Prudence Island" He was deccntly buried
on the farm of Mr.. Jonathan Dennis, as his
body was in state that forbade its being
moved to any great distance.

eighty cents, with leather wallet, were found
with him.

having large amour, ofspecie on board, sus-
pcious of the strangers intentions, percmptor-

The sloop opened a hot Ere of mus.etry upon
him at the distance of 30 or 40 yards, and as
the distance between the ;wo vessels incren sed
added occasionally few rounds of grape and
canister. Capt, b. manfllly seized the helm,
after the crew and passengers went below, and
continued o his course. After having been
chased in this manner for two hours, the sloop
grounded, and Captain b. rea ched the main
stream of the Mississippi in safety. Innuenc-
cd by the hope that he might meet with the
Re"enuc Cutter at the Balizc, he proceeded
thither, and luckily found her. Capt. Stark,
ofthe steam boat Post Boy, happening likewise
TO be there, Handsomely volunteered TO tow
the cnttcr round to the spot where it was pre-
suned the sloop was lying When the cutter
came up with her, she had been got off, and
was at anchor in the middle Of the stream.--
She was Immediately boarded and taken pos

upwards Of twenty men. All the three vessels,

BoLIvAR.-We copy from the New-York
Enquirer of Saturday, the following article,
and recommend it to the attention of those of
our readers, who have taken any interest in
the concerns of the WASHINGTON of the
! south, the great and good BoLIvAR:
Coiombia.--We learn from friend who
has received the latest information from Bogo-
ia, that the Republic Of Colombia toas in a
more prosperous state in March last, than at
any period uithin the last four years. The
decided measures and harsh means resorted to
by Boiipar bid fair TO re-establsh The en- ire
prosperity Of the country; public and private
credits were advancing with rapid strides, to
their former footing. Sufficient money would
be had by the newly levied taxes, to maintain
the General Government, and meet all exigen-
cies, and the attention Of the Executive,
would be Immediately turned to "ways and
means" to defray the debts incurred by the
Government, for supplies to their respective
States, and debts due the naval and military
men, and known by the name of" raie debts
A short time, il is believed, would prove to
| the world the sincerity and patriotism of the
Liberdfor notwithstanding the Vaccinations
Of his enemies.
The information contained in the foregoing
paragraph, Is obtained from an authentic
source; il may be relied upon as correct, and
is entitled 10 the undivided confidence Of the
public. We have always been firm in our
opinions, relative to the patriotism of Bolivar
and have invariably looked upon the tales told
of him, by bis enemies, as the productions ol
malice, and. as the legitimate offspring Of de.

MISCELLANY.
THE INQUISITIVE GENTLEMAN
DY MISS MILFORD.

One Of the most remarkable instances
that know Of that generally false the
ory, the ruling passion" is my worthy
friend, Samuel Link, Esq. of Link hall,
in this county, commonly called the In
quistive Gentlemen Never was cog
nomen better bestowed. Curiosity is,
indeed, the master principle Of his mind
the life blood of his existence, the main
spring of every movement.
Mr.. Link is an old bachelor Of large
fortune and ancient family. Tho Lin
xes, of Linx-hall, have amused them
selves with overlooking their neighbours
doings for many generations. He is
tall, but loses something of his height by
a constant habit of stoopingi he carries
his head projecting before his body,
like ono who has just proposed a ques-
ton, and is bending forward to receive
an answer. A lady being asked, in his
presence, what his features indicated,
replied, with equal truth and politeness,
most inquiring mind" The cock

fing up intelligence as a hound does the
air Oh dewy morning when the scent
lies well: the draw-down Of the half
open mouth, gaping for news; the erect
chin; the wrinklcd forehead; the little
eager sparkling eyes, hal! shut, yet full
Of curious meanings; the strong red
eyebrows, profruded like cats whis-
kers, or snai's horns, teelers, which
actually seem sentient; every line and
liniament Of that remarkable physiog-
nomy betrays craving for information.
He is exceedingly short-sightcd; and
that defect, also, although, on the first
b,ysh of the business, it might seem a
disadvantage, conduces materially 10
the great purpose of his existence-the
knowledge of other peoples affairs

THE PARTING i.OMENT

The parting moment hJd arrived
Mary's pride had sustained her until
now. But the ve,y moment had arrived,
and her courage tegan to ialter. She
made, however, an effort almost beyond
her strength, and flew down stars -
Frank and Fanny stood on he piazza,
waiting to bid her adieu. Horace, too,
was there, looking as unconcerned as he
could, and trying to whistle tune
Mary did not trust her eyes to look at
him, but she felt the whistle CRATE on
every chord of her heart. H"lac look
ed at the blue SKY, affected to STRAIN his
eyes to see some object NJ a distance,
and then laughed discordantiy at his
mistake; but TOOK care not to look at
Mary "Civil,ty requires that l should
bid her adieu," said ne to himself But
still he did not approach nor The
{" "monltor within" was busy with remon-
strances, but Horace bravoy kept his
ground, and sustained his affected indIE-
ference in the saTe way that a bad ac-
tor sustains a difficult character. He
twirled his stick, and fidgeted with his
ncckcloth, and held his head at least
two inches higher than usual. Mary
felt a sensation resembling suiIocation,
but she restrained her tears. Caresses
and adieus, good wishes and promises,
were exchanged with Frank and Fanny

Mary rushed towards the carriage

The sweetness Of thy slumberiny strain :.
In tears thy last fare well was taken,
And now in tears We meet again.
No light Of joy hath DER thee broken,
But, like those harp., whose heavenly skill
or slavery, dark as thine, hath spoken
Thou hnngest upon the willow still.
And yet, since last thy chord rosounded,
An hour Of peace and trinmph came,
When many an ardent bosom bounded
With hopes that now are turned to shame.
Yet even then, while peace was singing
Her halcyon song DER earth ami sea.
Though JOY aud hope To others bringing,
She only brought new tears TO thee.
Then, who can ask for notes Of pleasure,
My dropping harp, from chords like thine!
Alas the lark's gay morning measure
A. i'll would suit the swans decline
Or how shall l. who love, who bless thee,
Invoke thy breath for freedoms strains.
When cen the wrcaths in which dress thee,
Are sadly mixed-half flowers, half chains!
But come, If yet thy fame can borrow
One breath OF joy-O, breathe for me,
And show the world, IN chains and sorrow,
How sweet thy music still can be;
How lightly, cen md gloom surrounding,
Thou yet canst wake al pleasures thrill;
