On organizing for business, Dr. RIPLEY

HOLMES neither appeared, nor made any
defence. However he addressedt to the coun-
Gil his written protest against their interfe-
renee. The council proceeded to the duties
for which they were convoked, and labour-
industriously during Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday forenoon. On the last men
Toned day they closed their labours, and
declared the result of their deliberations to

they were ever claimed.-Mass. Spy.

+ JESSE BRIGGs AGAIN! Our readers are
all aware OF the manner in which this specu-
lator settled with his business friends in this
town. Having been liberated from prison,
on furnishing property enough to satisfy all
demands, he manifested so much contritiou
and regret for his past misdeeds, that we
did not expect to hear. from him again very
soon, especially in connexion with tcagons
and harnesses; but Jesse, like Macbeth
seems determined to die with harness on
his back" The following communication
from Lexington, which we copy from Satur-
days Concord Gazette, will show how Jesse
has deported himself since he left the stone
palace" in Concord =
LOOK OUT FOR JESSE BRIGGs! This
fellow, who is becoming somewhat hotori.
Gus, made his appearance few days since
i'll Lexington for the ostensible purpose
of establishing himself there as Cabinet
Maker. Under very plausible and hon.
est appearance, he spent some time in
procuring a house and shop, preparatory
to commencing business. He attempted
in several ways to get credit, and finally
succeeded in purchasing wagon and har-
ness, for which he gave his note for fifty
dollars. So far things went on very well,
when by mere accident, an old number
of the Lancaster Gazette fell into the
hands of the individual of whom he bought
the wagon, which contained an accurate
description of Jesse, and an account OF
the manner in which he defrauded the
good people Of Lancaster out of about
three hundred dollars, by pretending to
set up Cabinet-Making there. Measures
were Immediately taken to secure the
wagon, and Jesse, finding that he was de.
tected, decamped with great precipitation,
probably to set up Cabinet-Making some
where. else, leaving behind him the wag.
on. horse, an unsettled tavern bill, and a
very doubtful reputation"
