.fnofher Sean Boat Barn,, The steam
Boat Fort Adams. at Gunnlsou's Mln, was de
s--rsed by fire on Friday night last. The Boa,
was laid up for the season, and there can be
no doubt that the fire Was by the hand OF an
incendiary. When the fire was first discover.
ed from Mi. Gunnison's house about midnight,
the boat was so completely eaveloPed in flames,
that no ersrtions could save her.
Ii Is only a few weeks since we recorded the
destruction OF the Steam Boat Elizabeth, laid
up near the mouth OF Three Mile Greek, which
was also the work Of design. In both cases
the perpetrators have thus far gone without
detection-rhese occurrences are calculated
to make an impression abroad by no means "a.
vourable to the state of morals in this country.

From a Foreign Merchant who was lately in
this city, some interesting information was re-
ceived respecting The present Pscha of Egypt.
from his account, it appesrs that the pacha in
addition to being a cotton grower on a large
scale, carries on business as a manufacturer 10
a great extent. He.has at present in Aiexan-
dria and the neighborhood not less then IL, 900
weavers engaged in the manufacture OF ticks
and other kinds OF course cotton goods. They
are natives of the country, and are in an equal.
ly degraded condition as the rest of their coun-
trymen. They weave the goods in houses be.
longing to the Pacha, and are tasked to the
production OF a certain Quantity of 10th daily.
As a recompense they receive subsistence, clo-
thing, and lodging, but nothing more. For the
sale of his goods the Pacha has agents at sever
sltowus in Sicily, and at Leghorn and Florance,
10 which places TREY are sent and from whence
they find their way over the greater part of the
Continent. For the purposes of this trade he
had lately q vessel built at Leghorn, which is
said to have cost upwards OF 100. 600 dollars.

Caleb Atwater, Esq Counsellor ct Law, at
Columbus, Ohio, has published an address on
the General Character and Present and Future
Prospects of the State of Ohio. He draws a
brilliant picture, faithful we presume, in gene

than one half of the States of the Union, and
have actually resided in four of them; and | can
truly say that | have found intelligence more
generally diiused among the great mass of our
people than ! have else where. II is not I'm
common tor us to have, even in a small town,

States, and from almost every country of Eu.
