LATE FROM Rio JANEIRo-Tbe ship Mi
nerva, Capt. Hammond, arrived at New York
from Rio, whence she sailed on the 18th March,
We learn that the country was in most de-
plorable condition. Business was at complete
stand, and the paper money of the country
greatly deprecated.
The brig Spark, Capt Clark, Of New York
sailed from Rio on the I'd of March for Monte
vidco, and was captured the same day by
steamboat (Which left the port two hours pre-
vious to her sdiling for that pnrposc) on sus-
picion Of being bound to Buenos Ayrcs. A
prize crew of seamon and marines were put OH
board, and the brig was brought to anchor
When the sea breeze set in, the prize officer
ordered her cables to be cut, and she was car
RED into port. After lying nearly two weeks,
and all the attempts to obtain her release prov
ing Intellectual, she was abandoned Shortly
after her capture, some of her crew were inn
pressed, carried on board Brazilian "a, and
put IN irons. Condy Raguet Esq. the Ameri-
can Charge d'Afiaires, and Mr.. Wright the
American Consul, had demanded an explana-
tion Of the cause Of their Imprisonment, which
was not only refused, but they were treated
with great indgnity by the minister Of marine,
Mr.. Raguet accordingly demanded his pass
ports, which were granted, and he would re-
turn home the first good opportunity that offer
ed.
A full account Of all the facts connec cted with
this affair, have been transmitted to our gov
crnlnent.
We also learn by this arrival, that the French
and Colombian ambassadors, (thc latter OF
whom went from this city in the Spark) had
not been we'll received by the Brazilian govern
ment.
The U. S. ship Cyane, Capt. Elliot, sailed
from Rio OH the 3d of March, for the United
States, 10 touch al Pernambuco.

SAIL BoArs.-A week or two since, we
IL dentally 0'Iered some hints, relative to the
improperly Of visiting the adjacent bay in
sail boats, and although we did not believe
that our remarks would be listened to by all,
we hoped they would be productive of some
good Subsequent events have proved how idle
and fallacious, were our hopes and expecta-
tions, and we are sorry to state, that in all hu-
man probability, six individuals have, within
the last week, found watery grave, by adven-
turing in Sail Boats.
On Tuesday last, company Of six persons
hired pleasure boat, to 60 on a fishing excur-
sion, stating at tho time Of their departure that
they would be absent but six hours; but as
they have not since been heard from, and have
not returned, it is feared that have met a
watery grave.

REPLIcATIoNs.-Being pressed for room
at the moment, we are compelled TO omit our
reply to the astonishing criticisms of the stem

BILE Clergyman. The attacks that have been
made upon US this week, are unusually nume-
rous, and as they have afforded us no small
amusement, those that made thom, have our
sincere thanks.

GOING THE WHoLE.-At a dinner given
to the Hon. Mr.. White, Senator in the Uni
ted States Congress. representing the State of
Tennessee, the following very elegant and
patriotic toast was drank, by one of the mod
crate advocates Of General Andrew Jackson.
II sfords happy commentary on the dis
positions Of the advocates of the Tcnnessee,n
candidate. II is none of your left handed
toasts ;-it goes the whole -
Andrew Jackson; we anxiously hope for
the preservation Of his life, until his elevation
to the presidential chair, when his uncompro.
missing honesty and incorruptible integrity will

Deaths,

In this town, on Wednesday evening, after a
long and painful illness, which he bore with
christian resignation, Capt. Job Budlong, in the
5eth year of his age.
Last evening, Lieutenant Pardon M. Whipple,
of the United States Navy, in the thirty-sev-
enth year Of his age. Lieutenant Whpple en-
tered the service of the country, at an age
somewhat advanced for those who make the
science of war a profession, but as he was am
bilious ofpromotion; and Of the honours of his
country, he applied himself with unusual ASST
duty, to the study Of the art of arms. During
tile whole of the late war he was in active SER
vice, but unfortunately, did not have an oppor-
tunity of signalling himself in any of the con-
tests which marked that eventful period He
was an accomplished seaman, q skilful navi-
gator, and was esteemed as one Of the most
promising officers of the Navy. In the hour of
peril, he was cool and intrepid, always prepar-
ed TO meet danger in its most appalling aspect.
and ever held himself in readiness to defend tho
honour and the flag Of his country. About ten
years since, when performing an act of human
ity and hcroism he contra cted the fatal disease
which has consigned him to an untimcly grave.
He was attached TO our squadron in the Medi-
tcrranean, when in violent storm, Swedish
vessel was cast upon the rocks, and wrecked,
and death stared the hapless companions of her
late in the face, and threatened them with inev-
liable destruction. In this, their hour Of peril,
when hope had forsakcn, and the dispair strick-
en- seamen looked aghast upon the watery grave
that yawned to receive them, the gallant Whip
pie, accompanied by little band of American
soamcn, hastcned to their relief, and " dashng
the saucy billows asidc," preserved them
Whilst engaged in conveying the mariners to
the shore, the boat Of their preservsr was over
turned, and dashed upon the strand But un-
dismaycd, and determined 10 preserve the
helpless sufferers, he swan to the beach, and
finally succeeded in preserving tho wretched and
desponding sailors. Thus exposed 10 the wa
ter, and injured by extraordinary exertions. he
ruined his health, and from the fatgues off that
day, he never recovered. For this gallant
deed, the authorities of Valencia requested him
to sit for his portrait, which is now preserved
in the archicvos of the province, to perpetuato
the memory oftho gallant Whipple. Funeral,
on Monday afternoon, at O'Clock, from the
residence of Col. Bradford Hodges, corner Of.
Elm and Chesnut ut-strccts

THEATRIcAL.--Our Theatre was opened
on Thursday evening with Poole's celebrated
Comedy Of Paul Pry, and the afterpiece of
No Song, no Supper. Both pieces went ofwell,
before a respectable audience, and the men,
bers Of the corps were generally greeted with
a hearty welcome. OF the several performers
it is unnecessary to speak; sufficient it is to say
that they all did their best. On Wednesday
evening We had Noah's play of the Battle of
Chippewa; the weather was exceedingly in
element, and of course, but few attended In
the afierpece of Raising the Wind, two young
gentlemen made their first appearance on any
stage; the one as Diddler and the other as
Sam. Both failed; and they are advised to
quit the stage.

terests, and IN opposition to the bes, policy of
the nation II is idle and ridiculous, to think
for moment that Kentucky can be calculated
upon, as Jackson State. II is true, that in
the neighborhood Of Louisville, where the influ-
cnce of the Pope family, Mr.. Ciay's implacable
enemies, is felt, considerable opposition exists
but when contrastcd with the popularity Of the
Administration in the other sections Of the
State, it is not worth noticing. Kentucky will,
to certainty, stand firm to the Administration,
and no fears need be entertained relative to
the subject.
Ohio may, with equal certainty, be calcnla-
ted upon by the friends Of the administration,
and the States that formerly went for Clay; ;
and Adams, will beyond doubt 20 the
same way again Mr.. Robert Wicklifc, the
gentleman from whose circular we made the
foregoing extract, is an eminent Lawyer and
Legislator and during all the domestic strfes
in which Kentucky has been involved, has been
Il firm and persevering friend Of the rights of
the people; and by his energy, industry and
wisdom, has restored harmony to distracted
people, and saved ono Of the most important
States Of the Union from approaching ruin
He is tho warm friend of Mr.. Clay, the de-
termined advocate Of the home, or domestic
system, and foe to the ruinous policy of the in
fatuated, and hot headed Gov. Desha.

=" SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLARLY ester
day afternoon, Castle Garden was crowded
with the pupils of all the Sunday Schools in
the city. 1t is supposed that six or seven thou
sands were present. AT o'clock the process
sion entered the Garden. Several psalms and
hymns were sung by the united voices OF the
children. There were great many specta-
tors present."--N y Aduocate.
Sunday Schools may be ranked among the
most useful institutions OF the country, and
they should be nourished and protected by the
wealthy and munifcent, at the expense of the
thousand Quixotic schemes which are daily got
up, for the purpose Of draining the pockets o.
the people. We have long watched their ope-
rations, and benign influences on society, and
are prepared to say, that they have been pro-
ductive OF more good to mankind, than all
the Missionary Societies that have been estab-
lished since the foundation of the world II is
true, that, in some instances, those who have
been engaged in them have pursued an improp-
er course, and have brought into ridcule the
very institutions which they are apparently so
anx Gus to establish. But this should not de-
press the ardor Of those who take decided and
sincere interest in their success, and who,
whilst they undertake to increase their useful
acss, do not, at the same time, lose sight of
the objects IN view, to hold themselves up to
the world, as the "vast moral levers, that are
to accomplish the salvation ofmankind.
The Sunday Schools existing in this town,
are justly held in high estimation, and are jul
dciously managed; and their moral effects on
society have been felt and admitted In the
numerous manufacturing villages which sur
round us, Sunday Schools have been establish
ed; and VIC arc happy to state, that they have
been emincntly useful, and have afforded in
struction to hundreds, who, but for their exist
ence, from the nature Of their pursuits, would
have been left to realize all the evils of igno-
rance.
It is hoped that these charitable and relig-
ious institutions, will be encouraged, by all who
take an interest in the great cause of cduca-
ton: and that ample means will be afforded to
keep them in existence, and to extend their
usefulness to those, who, by reason of their
poverty, are compelled TO toll the whole week,
to obtain scanty subsistence, and who are
consequently deprived Of the means of acquir-
ing a common education.

CULTIVATION OF SILX.--t'rom the move
ments of the industrious and enterprsing citi-
zcns of this State, it appears that we are des-
tined to maintain n pre-emincnt place among
the manufacturing States Of New England, and
to set an example, worthy Of tho imitation of
other and larger communities. We now man
ufacturc cotton and woo,len goods, Of almost
every description, and of qualities which will
are imported from the workshops of Eu-
rope" Very recently, Joshua Clarke, Esq
an intelligent and cntcrprising citizen of South
Kngstown, has made extensive preparations
for the cultivation of the silk worm, and has
planted, this spring, upwards Of six thousand
Mulberry trees, on which the silk worm sub
sists, and will, the next season, plant larger
number. The cultivation of the silk worm has
been carried on with considerable success, in
Vermont, Massachusetts, and in some other
of the New-England and Middle States, and
VIC are gratfed to learn that it is to be com
mcnccd in Rhodc-Island. That it can be car
ried on with success in this state, sc have not
a doubt, AMI since it has been commenced, we
hope that the enterprzing gentleman who has
engaged in it, will meet with all the success he
anticipates. We believe that the culture of
the silk worm has often been attempted in
Rhode-Island, and as often abandoned for the
want of means to carry it on, as well as for the
want of proper encouragement, but we have
nothing to fear relative to the success of Mr.
Clarke, as he possesses the means, and the ncc-
cssary spirit of entelprize to carry it into sue
cessful operation.
We had just finished the last letter in the
above paragraph, when friend at our elbow in
formed us, that two or three of our country
gentlemen, residing in different parts of the
state, have been for some years engaged in the
business, in small way, and have met with
success. If this be the fact, we hope that Mr..
Clarke will profit by the example, and lose
no time in making his nursery as large as prac-
ticable.
