A NOVEL PROCEEDING. Three men
were committed to the Jail in this town last
week, under very unusual, if not extraordi-
nary circumstances. Two or three weeks
ago, Timothy Greene & Sons of Pawtuck-
ct, made an assignment of large amount
of property, some of which was in this State
and some in Rhode Island, to assgnees re-
siding in Rhode Island. 1t is provided in
the Deed of assignment, we understand.
that the property assigned shall be dIspos-
ed OF by the assignees, and from the pro-
ceeds, the creditors of the assignors are to
be paid the whole OF their claims, if the
property should bring enough; otherwise
to he paid in ratable proportions. The AS
slgnees accepted the trust, and the property
was delivered to them. Subsequently Il
writ was sued out by one of the creditors
OF L. Greene O. Sons for about two thou
sand dollars, and placed IN the hands of a
Deputy Sheriff of this county for service.
The creditor, Sheriff, and an aid, obtained
possession (by breaking glass and entering
a window of a Cotton Factory in this coun-
ty named in the assignment, attached it and
the machinery it contained, and kept posses
sion. While thus in possession the assign
| ees sued out writ returnable before the
! United States Circuit Court, at Boston,
laying their damages at fifty thousand dol
lars, despatched the Deputy Marshal from
Boston, who made service by attaching the
bodies of the Sheriff, creditor and aid, be-
fore named, and committing them to prison
where they still remain. Several persons,
we arc informed, were offered as bail for
the appearance Of the persons imprisoned
at Court, but they were not satisfactory to
! the assgnees or marshal. The persons
thus offered are said to be men Of response
bility for Il considerable amount, though
not perhaps worth $4,000, the sum requir-
ed as bail.
If a misrepresentation of law, allowing it
to be so, is to be visited thus heavily with
Iimpunity upon persons endeavorlng to OBJ
tain their honest dues, it has surely become
a hazardous business both for creditors and
law officers to attempt to secure debts from
contested property.
After the above was in type we learnt that
the Sheriff and others, were released from
prison by the Assignees. The attachment
of the Factory was previously relihquished.

There was a political dinner party at George
town, on the 4th, composed of gentlemen from
different States in the Union The toasts were
rather smart, on the whole, but bear particular
ly hard upon the Secretary of State, while they
glorify some members of the Cabinet, a thou
sand times more undeserving. There seems to
DO a settled determination by the government
and its rctainers at Washington, 10 crush Mr..

DTsGKACEFUL PROCEDURE. An affair
of this nature has transpired at Washington.
A newly appointed clerk in one of the de-
partments, happened TO hear a gentleman
speak against the character and qualifca-
tons Of President Jackson. The clerk in
suited the gentleman, and pulled his nose.
A challenge ensued, and the clerk resigned
his place, to SAGE appearances, and accepted
the challenge. He insisted on fighting with
broadswords, which was declined. Gen.
Jackson Immediately rewarded him, Jy ap-
pointing him to higher office. This in it.
self is but small matter. But it involves
principles of such nature as to demand
the solemn consideration of the sober and
people of this country.

WOODBURY., IN. j. July s.


We heard a few days since, of one of the
most horrible instances of intemperdRce and
death that has come under our observation
since we commenced our career us Journ-
alists, which took place in Pttsgrove, in the
adjoining county. A man named Abbott,
who had for a long time given himself up
to the indulgence of a beastly appetite
for liquor, had been on frolic," as he
termed it, for several days together, and on
the evening of the 18th ult. he went to his
house where he lived alonel with his gallon
jug filled, to supply himself during the night.
In the morning he appeared at the door
of his next neighbor, horrible specta-
Gle of poor depraged, de5ased human ma
ture, and of Gods revenge against drunk
enness-his body in a state of nudity, save
only few tatters around Ills neck, and his
flesh, to use the words of our informant,
"burnt as black and as hard as cinder -
the fire indeed had literally baked him
| alive, from his feet up to his breast, and he
was barely able to crawl to the house. A
doctor was sent for, but he died before any
Piled nBE ecoff'e he died he was able SO far
to reply to the enquiries put to him, as to
make those around him understand that he
had lain down on the floor with the bottle
beside him, bat further recollection he had
not, and visiting his dwelling, it appeared
from the marks on the floor, that he had
either rolled into the fire, and thence about
the house writing under the agony of the
burning, yet so dead drunk as to be insensi-
BILE to his situation of his sufferings; or that
in his wallowings he had upset his jug, and
the liquor running towards the fire commu-
Hicated the fame to his body.

Pans, tKy.) June q.
James Rowan, man of color, was exec
cuted in this place, on Thursday, for muir
der. A great many persons attended, rtsh-
ed in crowds to the fatal spot, threw down
the adjacent fences; saw poor wretched
creature suspended bya rope, struggling
in the agones of death afterwards dispers-
to the grog-shops, and showed how much
they had improved from beholding the shock
ing spectacle, by getting drunk !! Such is
the depravity of man.

COLOMBIA AND PERU. Advices from
Caracas to the 9th ult. confirm the rumor
that hostilities would probably re-commence
between Colombia and Peru Col. Jose
Prieto, Commander General of the Depart
ment of Guayaquil, had taken upon himself
to suspend the execution of the referred
treaty, so far as related to that department
and the squadron, Until he should receive
the final decision of his government AT
M %a hs hfa fG n tEs U to he
bian army, suspension of hostilities for
forty-hve days, promising exact reciprocity.
On the 22d of March he issued proclama-
ton to the inhabitants and garrison of Quay
aquil, in which he says:-
"When the officers of the squadron and
the town, being assembled in the Council of
War on the 18th of the present month, came
to solemn determination not to evacuate
the place until the decision of the Supreme
Government should be known, they well
knew that this determination, dictated by
their patriotism, their honor and their rights,
was conformed to the wishes of the people,
promotive Of their best interests, and de-
manded by sense of national honor. Shall
this honor be comprised in the presence of
the brave defenders of liberty? Will they
suffer the liberty of Peru to be cold by the
Convention Of Jiro',, and that of the whole
Convention to be at hazard 2"
These orders being communicated to the
Liberator of Colombia, despatch was adj
dressed by his Secretary General to the
Ministers Of War, dated Head Quarters in
Quito, April lst which concludes as fol-
lQWs:-
However much the LiberatoI President,
in accordance with the voice of the nation,
refrains, and avoids provoking continual
ton of the war which had terminated so
advantageously to the enemy, the conduct
of that enemy makes it necessary to sup
port the army at all hazards. It's subsis-
tence in country so devastated is morally
impossible, unless the government contrives
means to send pecuniary succor to the De-
partments. This say to the Ministers of
Finances BY order of His Excellency."

The New York Advertiser states that large
flock of sheep, which had been brought to town
to celebrate Independence, headed by dignifi-
ed old bei-wethcr, were proceeding up Broad
way in slfeepish and cockneyfed manner on
the 18th, when they became embarrassed among
the multiplicity of people and things, bayonots
and bonnets, and gigOt sleeves of the colored
ladies. Their leader under these circumstan-
ces, made desperate bolt in Mr.. Wilson's hat
store, and his simple flock followed him, baaing
and beating to the no small discomfort of the,
worthy artizan, whose customers do not wear
wool hats, or ram.beavers, as they are called in
the country. The bell-wether was probably
aware Of this fact, when he sought an asylum
there.
