Public Meeting.

| Pursuant to public notice, large and respect
able meeting of the Democratic Republican
friends of the Administration of the General Gov
ernmert in Newcastle County, assembled at
the Red Lion Inn on Saturday the 18th day Of
July, when
Gen. WILLIAM CooCH, was called so the
chair, and GIDEON JAoUEs, was appointed Sec
retaiy.
After very suitable and lucid EXPOSITION of the
object Of the meeting, by DR.. Arnold Naudain,
II was, on motion,
HeSolred, That Committee of five be ap.
pointed by the Chairman, for the purpose of re-
porting resolutions for the consideration of this
meeting
In pursuance whereof, the chairman appoint
cd Messrs. Arnold Naudain, Wm p. l,robson,
John Higgins, VIM. Kennedy, and Alexander
Crawford.
The committee reported the following resolu-
tons, which, after some explanatory remarks.
were unanimously adopted.
Resoiuea, That We recognize in John Quincy
Adams Statesman Of unquestioned abilities, of
great experience and of rreproachable charac-
ter; who has enjoyed the confidence of WASH
ington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, in long
course Of meritorous and active public service,
eminently calculated to prepare for the duties of
the first civil Office in the country; whose pri-
vate life, in all its relations, presents example
overlooked in the selection of Republican
Chief Magistrate; that in reviewing the measures
Of his administration we can discover no act
whatever which do not meet our decided ap-
| probation, and that we will, therefore, use all
fair and honorable means to support his admins
traton, and to secure his reelection.
Res0ioed, That the appointment of HeNry
Clay to the office of Secretary of State, was but
a tribute due to the high character, splendid
talents and ardent patriotism of that great and
distinguished Satesman--that the stale charge
of corruption which has been founded upon that
appointment, is contradcted by all we know of
the most eminent persons it concerns, and by all
the circumstances involved in the case, while it
IL unsupported BY any evidence which would be
admitted to the prejudice ofany credi1able man
in society.
HesolOed, That the temperance, forbearance
and iirmness displayed by the President of the
United states towards the Governor OF Georgia.
under circumstances of provocaton and indigni-
ty Which we believe have had no parallel in the
history Of our country, give him new titles to our
regatd and appreciation.
Hesoiged, That William Cooch, John Ways
William =. Brobson, Robert Porter, Richard
Mansfield and William Kennedy be appointed r
committee for the purpose of corresponding
with such committees may be appointed by
the Democratic Republican friends of the adj
mnstraton in the respective counties of this
State.
Aes0ived, That the proceedings of this meet.
ing be signed By the Chairman and Secretary.
and published in the American Watchman, the
Delaware Journal, and the Wilmingtonian.
Reso!rcd, That this meeting now adjourn to
meet at this place on Saturday, the first day Of
September next.
wM. CooCH, Chairman.
GIDEoN JAouEs, Secry.

FOURTH OF JULY ACCIDEN rs.
From the Phiiadelhhia Gazette.

We learn that on Tuesday evening, the
caDtsin aud mate of vessel from Folly
Landing, fought duel 7oith aces, on the
deck of their vessel. They hacked one an
otberin fine style; but some OF the specta-
tors having little regard for this honorable
method of settling disputes, had them carri-
ed before a magistrate.
The dangers to which many persons were
exposed on Wednesday afternoon, were
much greater than we were aware OF. A
steamboat that left the upper wharf at
Camden, weathered the storm with difficult
t. The water rushed into the cabin win
dow, the awning was torn to rags, and a
company of nearly two hundred persons,
principally women and children. remained
exposed during the whole the storm. 9th
er steam and team boats were Oh the river,
but this appears to have been exposed to
most danger, as it was feared She would be
dashed against the wharf, i'll which case she
would probably have sunk.
A boat capsiZed near the Navy Yard, and
If five boys that were on board, three were
drowned. The editor Of the U. 5. Gazette
says that he witnessed the upsetting OF an
other boat few minutes after 1t lett the
wharf Two young men who were III It, got
on the keel and were saved.
A young woman standing on the edge OF
South street wharf, awaiting the approach
of friend, was so much startled by the ex-
poslon of cracker, which a mi schicvous
boy threw at her feet, that she fell into the
river and was drowned before assistance
could be rendered.
At the celebration at Germantown, Pa. on
the Fourth If July, Mr.. Bnddey lost his
hand. This accident, we understood, was
occasionce by attempting to fire off can
non number of time in quick succession,
whereby the piece became so heated that
the man who had his fingcr on the touch
hole was obliged to remove it, The explo-
sion took place as soon as the atmosphe-
ric air came in contact WITH the heated pow
der.

The present Pacha Jf Egypt was very iesirous
70 obtain the luxury of eating ice, and there be-
ing no such thing in Egypt, Mr.. Salt, the Brit
ish Consul General sent to England for an appa-
ratus for making it. The machine was convey
ed on its arrival to the Pachas palace, and the
Nile water made use of for the purpose. Nah
mond Ali, hung over the whole operation with
the most intense curiosity; and when, after sew
eral disappointments, large piece of real ice
was produced, he took it eagerly in his hands,
danced round the room for ~ like ch j, and
then ran into the iIarem, to snow it to his wives
and ever luxuriatcs upon it.

A most shocking instance of savage tero-
city was perpetrated on Saturday last, in
this place, by the mother Of young girl
assisted by a monster who had, tor some
time, resided as bo4rdrr in the house. l!
appears that the mother, for some trivial Of
fence, inflicted severe cOrporeal punishment
upon the girl; and not being satisfied with
what she had done. asked the gentleman To
finish the work; which, nothing loath, he un
dertook; (for we hear he had repeatedly
tried his hand at the same business,) and
with such effect did he ply his kicks and
cuffs that the victim Of their cruelty died
the next day. a Coroner's inquest was
held upon the body, and verdict given that
her death was caused by excessive beating.
The unfecling wretchcs have both been
consigned, by the proper authority, TO the
County Jail. there to await punishment
which IS justly due them

In one ofthe recent discussions in the British
House of Lords on the Spring Gun Bill, Lord
Suffield said-"N longer ago than yesterday a
noble lord had informed him that a gentleman
had contryed very ingenius spring gun for his
house, by which he Mad shot himself, his wife and
his daughter" The Earl of Abingdon, in reply,
said she could not help rising, as the noble Lord
looked at him so earnestly, toinfor.n their Lord
ships that he had not shot his wife and daughter

Mr.. Ejiitor-In your last paper observe
letter Of advice to the Watering Commit
tee, but as those gentlemen will doubtless have
enough to attend to without noticing the
wh,ms oil every theorist who chooses to push
forward his opinion, will undertake to in
form your correspondent @ that he is 1T
tie mistaken. He informs the Committee
that eve are entitled by the purchase to all
the water that can flow through certain
aperture, say 1o5 inches;" this, believe, is
not the fact--the power Of the mill is not dc
fined in that way, but if my information be
correct the mill is allowed a good and suth-
cient head of water for driving a stone of GER
tain dimensions, w..h the necessary ma
chinery for manufacturing -four. AS the case
is thus circumstanced, and the power OF the
mill thus defined, the Committee would not
be warrantable in taking the water until al
ter il had been expended on the wheel; and
as the pump will only have to lift the water
bv atmospheric pressure about four feet,
can see no serious difficulty in the case.
cannot see that it will make the machinery
much more complicated, or any more ex-
pensiye. If the water wheel cxert5 the
same power on the pump that it formerly
did on the mill stone, it is all the Committee
have any right to expect; and the quantity
of water furnished they must DC sa'lsaea
with, be it more or less.
As to the plan that has been adopted,
have no doubt the Committee have taken
the advice of those much better qualified to
iudee than / am, and perhaps as weli as

The Thames Tunnei The large timber
raft intended to lie OH the bed of the river,
over the leak, was let down late on Wcdnes
day evening. The engine was set to WORK
as soon as it was ascertained that the raft
lay on the bottom, and when they had sue
ceedcd in reducing the water some FIVE or
SIX feet in the tannel, it was discovered that
al further attic 'npts At reduction were use
less. 1t was then tried whether by stopping
he working of the steam engine the height
q the water in the tunnel and shaft would
increase or diminish, and the result was
gradual, but unremltting increase. At an
earIy hour yesterday, one or two descents in
