nation from Bergen, Essex, and Morris

cious to the good cause"

The Rev. Mr.. Tailor, who resided on

was shot dead on the 25th ult. by his STEM
son Peter Slaughter. The murderer fled
but was pursued, apprehended, and COM
mitted to Jail.
The New-York Commercial Advertiser
says that on Monday there was snow
storm at the north, and that the hills of
Saratoga were covered with show.
A strong gale of wind was experinced
here on Monday, which abated a little
yesterday. Some of the vessels in the har-
bour dragged their anchors, and one or
two small ones foundered. We under
stand that considerable breach was made
by the wind in one of the walls of the
State Prison, and that some of the pickets
were blown down, but that owing to the
prompt exertions of the officers Of the In
stitution none of the prisoners escaped.

! ADVANTAGES OF THE THEATRE AND
CIRcUs. A respectable tradesman appear
ed before the magistrate yesterday in COM
pany with two of his apprentices, whom he
accused of continually remaining out al
night at very late hour. From his
statement it was shown that the offenders
had been in the habit of acting as super
numeraries at one of the theatres, and BY
so doing had acquired habits of the mos
abandoned and dissolute character. They
were duly admonished on the improperly O.
their conduct, and, after severe lecture, in
formed that if ever they were discovered il
a theatre under similar circumstances, they
would be exemplarily punished by an impris
onment in Bridewell. Mr.. Stephens, one O
the clerks, observed, that since the opening
of the Grand street Circus, numerous instan
ces had occurred of apprentices pilferins
from their masters, which he had neve
heard of previously. At all events, he wa
certain that greater number of juvenile
thieves had been taken from the neighbour
hood of that theatre than any part of thu
city. The very low price of admission (wt
believe two shillings) was great tempta
ton to youth, and many an article has BEEF
stolen merely for the purpose of procuring
the means of Witnessing performance.
