PROVIDENCE. At a Town-meeting, in
Providence, resolutions have been passed,
$50 to 20, in favour of its being invested
with the usual powers granted to city cor
porations; and a committee has been ap-
pointed to draw up and report at the next
Town-meeting, the form charter for city
government.
RAIL ROAD. We learn from the Boston
Statesman that Mr.. Hayward, the engineer
employed by the board of directors of in
ternal improvement to survey a route for a
rail road from Boston to Providence, com
menced his survey on Tuesday last.
Preparations are making in Philadelphia
for the construction of Marine Railway.
BACHELORS JOURNAL. We have re-
ceived the first number of the Bachelors
Journal, published by Mr.. S. g. Andrews,
Boston. 1t is well printed; and if the in

the most gifted of the young, old, and middle
aged of the corps of the single-and yet

MORGAN ONCE MORE. A gentleman, in
letter to the editors of the Baltimore
American, states that he saw the individual
supposed to be Morgan, begging his bread
IN the streets of Smyrna, and that, as he
related his story, he had dream in Ameri-
ca that ne must go to Turkey and become
Mahometan; IN consequence of which he
took passage in the brig Herald, of Duxbury.
Capt, Waterman, and sailed from Boston.
If this is the person whose name has been
echoed from Georgia to Maine, whatever he
might have dreamed, it is probable he never
dreamed of his book meeting with such a
sale, or he would not have obeved the in
junction until he had accumulated sufficient
of the needful to keep him from want. Per-
haps he was dreaming when he wrote his
book, and has not been fully awake since.
Would it not be well to send the commits
sioner,-who has lately been appointed by
the New York Legislature to investigate the
sublect,-to awaken him to sense of his
beggarly condition?
Mr.. Eustaphieve, late Russian Consul, re-
sldent in this State, has been appointed
Consul General at Smyrna. The King, his
Royal Master, has conferred on him an Or

Cheertmlness Reeommended.-The editor
Of the Western Review, (Mr. Flint,) in one
Of the orticles in tho last number Of his inter-
esting publication thus recommends choer-
ful disposition. "Weoping philosophers may
tell us, as much as they will, that to smile is a
fault, and laugh crime, which God has for
hidden. We believe no such thing. We arc
with Caesar, in his estimation of the lean and
gloomy Brutus. Rogues may look gloomy
from an evil conscience, and want Of self re-
spect. Hypocrtes may effect mystery and
gloom, for the authority and consequence it
may give them in the eyes Of their blind ad-
mirers They, who want intrinsic material to
create respect, may assume solemnity of de-
pertinent, TO preserve their dignity unimpared.
We believe, That God requires Of us to labor
for cheerfuness, and that an honest and bene-
VIOLENT man, ought to smile as often as he in
nocen.y can. Heaven knows, that these sun
shines Of the mind will be sufficiently few and
far between at the best. We are not afraid OF
smilers /; but we always beware of Knights OF
the woeful ceuntenance, and them of the long
and tristful visage.''

was the produce Of long life Of honest indus
try and strict attention to business in this,
perhaps, he had few equals. On one occasion,
when a gentleman, who had been one Of his
school fellows, came to town, Mr.. Coutts invI-
ted him TO dinner, and large party was as
sembed to do him honour. The next day the
gentleman had some business to transact at
Mr.. Coutts' banking house, when there was
penny in change due TO Mr.. Cou,ts. "Well,'
said the gentlemen, Il shall not give you that

his astonished friend, how singular is this

THE editor Of the Journal considers II pos

not know the motives which induced Mrs. D.

editor Of the Journal would wish to make it
appear, she should have been informed of the
fact, through some other medium than the
columns Of his paper. We have seen accounts
from number Of the London papers (among
others, the London Courier, which is as
high authority as any periodical in England)

Secretary Of War. Gen. PORTER, the

for the Office which has been bestowed upon
him by the President. Those who are famil-

Britain. will bear ample testimony 10 his
promptitude and bravery while engaged on the
Western Frontier. Gen. Porter was also
highly distinguished member Of Congress in the
year 1912, and we believe acted as chairman
of the committee, which made the celebrated
War Report.

Tennessee. John r. Nelson, Attorney
General of the Knoxville District, is announce
ed in the Knoxville papers, as a candidate for
the Office of Pre- sidental Elector, in that dis
trict Of Tennessee, pledging himself, if elected
to vote for Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Rush. The
Knoxville Enquirer speaking of the candidates,
observes, that he is extensively known as a
man Of talents>and undoubted integrity. He
was in the Creek campaign, under Jackson's
immediate eye. And no man, at the battle of
the Horse Shoe behaved with more intrepidity.
He was, in 1928, elected to the Legislature,
from this county, and at the Sessions of 1924,
was elected Attorney General for the Knox
vile District. This Appointment he has ever
since held with honour to himself, with advan-
tage to the State, and we believe, has given
entire satisfaction to the public. He practs-
es law in four counties out Of five, in this dis
trIct. He has been accustomed to political
canvas, and knows how to make his calcula-
tions. He has reputation and standing not to
be hazarded on the cast Of a die. We know

NoRwIcH.-Mr. Macready has been play
ing here in Macbeth, Wiiiian, Tell and Vir-
ginius. An accident Of a somewhat serious
nature nearly occurred, during his acting of
the latter chara cter. At the rehearsal of the
tragedy, Mrs. Hinman, who played Virginia,
remarking that Mr.. Macready rehearsed with
a tin dagger, observed she had no fear of such
a weapon. She was induced TO make this re-
mark from having dreampt the previous night
that she had been stabbed whilst playing Vir-
ginia. As the scene approached in which Vir-
ginius slays his daughter, Macready was rush.
ing on, when Mrs. Hinman observed that he
had not the same weapon in his hand with
which he rehearsed.-She instantly begged he
would take some other dagger, as the weapon
he hold was the apparent counterpart Of her
visionary terror! Unfortunately the Tin dagger
could not bo found, but Mr.. Macready assured
his fair friend that he would take extreme care.
Mr.. Macready and the lady then went on the
stage.-However, the actor under the impas-
stoned feeling Of the moment, forgetting the
Injunction of Mrs. Hinman, stabbed her with
such force, that the weapon instantly pene-
trated through her clothes, but was providen-
tally arrested by the busk Of her stays. But
for this fortunate circumstance, the most fatal
catastrophe might have been the result En-

FOURTH OF JULY.

We have witnessed with deep regret, that
the opposition to the celebration Of the 4th Of
July, increases in this town. every succeeding
year. Many Of our most wealthy and respec-
table citizens, not only oppose the small pit
tance usually allowed by the town to deiray
the expenses, but are unwilling to have the day
noticed ut all. Why is il so' Have we less
cause at this moment, for selfgratulation on
the return of the Fourth Of July, than wc had
forty years ago' Certainly not. Are we not
in grandeur in creasing in wealih-in talent
and in happiness' Shall We forget that we were
once the subjects Of a foreign power-Pinng
under unequal laws burthensomc taxes and
an inefficient presentation,-tbat we aIe
now FRrEMEN, living under a wise govern
ment, equal laws. and every year adding to
our means Of enjoying independence Is that
declaration which announced TO the world we
are "Free and Independenr less true at
this moment than it was on the day when it
was first promulgated
why tneh tnis oPPost'o"' "ouiu thc SoH-
temen who oppose the celebration, have us
branded with the old reproach-"he fngrat-
nude ofrspublics. Shall we DO ungrateful 10
our fathers, who dared to assert and maintain
for US and our children, the privileges we
now enjoy Has tho enthusiasm which once
glowed upon the cheek Of every native born
American, at the return Of this anniversary,
departed! We hope not. The subject of a
monarch, with but The name Of Liberty, can
and does make the birth day of his master a
day Of rejoicing. And shall it be said that
we forgot the day that made us our otcn mas
ter?
Some Of our friends may call this childish
enthusiasm. We do not consider it in this
light. Let the Fourth Of July pass one year,
without some public demonstration Of Joy, and
it will soon be entirely forgotten. We are
aware that many attempts have been made to
prevent the celebration the present year, but
we are happy to say, that gentleman who is
fully competent to the task, has consented TO
deliver an oration, and that the usual ccremo-
MOS will be had.
