e o. The editor of the American appears
somewhat hurt, because the Town Council of
this town thought proper TO order the Quaran-
tine Regulations, to be published IN the Lite
erary Cadet. We would ask the editor Of the
American in respectful terms, if he would have
said one word on the subject, if the advertise
ment had been inserted either in the Patriot or
Journal. We agree with Mr.. Halett, that tho
"Ordnance ought to have a very general cir
culation," and we should have no objection to
its insertion in all the papers Of the town, but
as it has not been tie custom to have it pub.
lished in but one paper, it was no more than
proper, that in choosing that paper, the ono
that crculates the largest number of copies
should be selected.

~ The GENERAL ASSEMBLY Of this state,
will meet at Newport on Tuesday next, accord
ing to adjournment. Much important business
remains on the docket to be disposed Of
The citizens Of this town residing on Ch rist-
tan Hill. will again bring forward their claims
for an act Of incorporation, for Bank to be
called the "High-street Bank" to be located
in that section Of the town. We can see no
reasonable objection to granting this charter.
Tie esta bishment Of Bank Oh Christian Hill,
would be an accommodation to the business
people residing in that part Of the town and its
vicinity. The petitioners are responsible men,
who wish TO invest their funds in Bank Stocks,
and at tho same time accommodate the public
We hope the charter asked for will be granted.
The petition for a Free Bridge over Sec
konk River, will be brought up. and probably
disposed Of.
An Inspector and Quarter Master OF the
Second Brigade will be appointed. We UNDER
stand that Major RHODES G. ALLEN, will be
q candidate for re-relectien.

his Cog has run mad and bit one hundred

ordered the whole race to be ex,erminat -

was bit. In one Of his gloomy fits, when con-

ite, Gen. Jackson, ho communicate ted the hor-
ribe distomper to "Ponto," who instantly be-
camo as mad as his master, which proved the
death Of hundreds OF innocent dogs.

Duke Of Wellington very commonly says
" How are you''-" ms q very 6ns day.
4" How dye door ' How do" and makes
frequent sndSssriss3 remarks on the weather.
and tho dust er the mud, AS il may be. At
twelve o'clock on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, the Dukes Master comes to teach
him his Political economy. The Duke mskss
wonderful progress " his studies, and his In
structor sis used pleasantly to observe, that
. the Duke gets on like q house on 6se." At
the Treasury the Duke does nothing but think.
llc sits on a leathern library chair, with his
heels and good part Of his legs on the table.
When thus in profound thought, he very fro
quently closes his eyes for hours toget her, and
makes an extraordinary and rather appalling
noise through his nose. Such is the Duke Of
WelIington's devotion to business, that he eats
no luncheon. The Duke is a rigid economist
He has cut off The wax candles Of all except
the principal secretaries, and substituted dips
He has also caused the fire Of different public
Offices to be opened two hours earlier than
was usual, iu order to bring on the general en-
gagement. In the House Of Lords The Duke IS
manner Of proceeding is ths-he walks up to
the fire place, turns his back upon il, sepa-
rates the skirts Of his coat, tossing them over
the deuer and sinister arms, thrusts his ha nds
into his breschss pockets, aud thus stands at
case. The chara cteristic OF the Dukes ora
tory is a brevity, The next thing TO silence. As
brsvity is the soul Of wit, it may confidently
be affirmed that in this quality Lord North
and Sheridan were fools compared with him.

0o-FoREIGN MIssIoNs.-We have no dis
position to follow the example Of the editor of
the Investigator, by filing two or three col
umns Of our paper, on the subject Of Foreign
Missions. We have nothing new to say on
the subject. Our views are known, and wo
shall not be deferred from expressing them, by
any remarks which Mr.. Goodell can make
The attempt made by the editor Of the Investi-
gator to create prejudice against us.by holding
out the idea that we attacked the Baptsts as
denomination in the remarks we have made on
the subject of Missions, is unworthy Of notice.
We made no such attack, nor will our language
bear such construction.
