cumstances detailed by her were such
as justified separation, but they were
not of that aggravated description as to
render such a measure Indispensable
On Lady NoePs representation, l deem
ed a reconciliation with Lord Byron
practicable, and felt most sincerely wish
to aid in efecting it. There was not on
Lady NoePs part any exaggeration OF
the facts; nor, so far as could perceive,
any determination to prevent return to
Lord Byron: certainly none was express
ed when spoke of a reconciliation
When you came to town IN about fort
night, or prchaps more after my first i'll

first time informed by you of facts utterly
unknown, as | have no doubt, to Sir

false, the responsibility and the odium

facts which have here briefly recapitu-
lated will absolve my father and mother
from all accusations with regard to the

Lord Byron and myself. They neither
originated, instigatcd, nor advised, that
separations; and they cannotbe condemn

RUODE.ISLAND STEAMBOATS,

tial person to say for which of the steam
boats that daily run between New York,

any particular preference. Each ofthcm

and pilots, more obliging and attentive
clcrks-waitcrs, etc. etc, who study to
please and crafty their passengers in

for visiting Newport. The purify and
salubrity Of the air is peculiarly adapted
to the health and comfort of visitors; the
climate is in fact an enemy to human dis
easc.' The accommodation in the town
and on the island are good enough, but
there arc not enough of them. BY in
crcasng the number of boarding houses
and convenicnces for strangers, there can
be no doubt, the number Of strangers
would be greatly increased, and we think
Newport would become one of the most

treats in the country. Newport also Of

dictment had been found as principal, in
the murder of Joseph White, Esq. put a
period to his existence, by hanging him

lie accomplished his purpose by tying
very securely u handkerchief to the graf
ing of his window, and another round his
neck, which were united by strong
knot, then tying his hands behind him
with another handkerchief, and suspend
ing himself by stepping from chair
When discovered his feet were resting Oh
the floor, from which his knees were not
more than foot distant, it being neces-
sary for him to bend his limbs considera-
bly, in order to procure strangulation.
As soon as il was discovered that the
prisoner had committed this desperate act
several physicians were sent for, and al.
so the coroner, Thomas Ncedham, Esq

We take pleasure in copying the fol-
lowing complimentary notice of MIR
ROBINS Speech, which was recent,
published in this paper.
From the Norfolk. (PT) Free Press.
We this day, in other columns of the
Free Press, lay before our readers tho
speech Of Mr.. ROBINS of Rhode Island
delivered in the Senate of the U. States
on the Goth Of May, upon the celebrated
protractod, and long continued rcccH
debate ia that body. For clearness OF
reasoning, perspicuity of argument, and
unansw cradle conclusions from undelia-
bic premises, nothing can exceed this
able analysis of the constitutional powers
! of the General and State Governments,
in all their bearings and comparisons with
each other. Mathematical precision Is
not more certainly acknowledged than
are the logical demonstrations of this
learned Senator to every sensible and i'm
partial mind; and the little state OF Rhode
Island is highly distinguished in having
furnished such a luminary from her cir
cunscribed bosom, to take part in the ma
tional councils of the Government We
earnestly recommend this speech to the
attentive pcrusal Of our readers and iel-
low citizens generally, and still more
pressingly do we urge it again and again
to be read by the nuliyfers of the day,
and the friends OF the Collcton, the A.
beyile and Hartford Conventions. Ii
will act rs a panaceG on their mint, and
corrective Of their political absurdiics
and cnormitios, to call acts and things by
their mildest names.

A most beautiful meteor was observed
in this village about ten O'Clock on the
evening of the 10Th inst. 1t first appear
ed at the zenith with an efiulgence which
lit up the heavens with noon-day splen-
dor its direction was towards the north
east and the duration of its appearance
might have been five or six seconds
We have no recollection of ever wit
Messing more splendid and sublime APP
pearance than it exhibited while slowly
and majestcally it passed through tho
heavens emitting on all sides rays ofva
rious colors, and large sparks which were
projected at considerable distance, and
which had the appearance of distinct
meteors. A dark cloud lay in the east
behind which it passed and was lost to
the sight. The cloud for an instant ex-
hibited the appearance of FURNISHED gold
so brightly was it Illuminated by its rays.
Our ears, and it may be our imagina-
tions were less quick than some Of our
friends who describe it as being accom-
panied with loud whizzing sound, re-
sembling the explosion of a rocket
These aerial strangers which have excit-
ed so much wonder and astonishment,
and which have been the cause Of much
learned and labored investigation, are
an mpenctrable mystery. That they with
all the other phenomena of the heavens
perform the part allotted them by tho
Creator there can be no doubt, and it is
our privilege to wonder, admire and
adore. Taunton Reporter.
The same phenomena was also obser-
we'd in this town about the same time.

DEPARTMENT OF WAR,

General Ordcr.-CoDgress at their last
session passed an act repeating so much
of the military law, as imposes the penal
ty of death on those who Gin time of
peace" shall be found guilty of the
crime of desertion. To give complete
effect to the benevolent designs of said
act, and that the army may be correctly
informed, it is hereby proclaimed, that a
free and full pardon is extended to those
who ut the date of this order stand in tho
character of descrtcrs. All who are un-
der arrest for this offence, at the differ
cnt posts and garrisons, will be forthwith
liberated, and return to their duty.
Such as are roaming at large, and
those who are under sentence of death,
are discharged, and are not again per-
mitted to enter the army, nor at any time
hereafter to be enlisted in the service Of
the country. 1t is desirable and highly
important, that the ranks of the army
should be composed of respectable, not
degraded materials. Those who can be
so lost to the obligations of a soldier, as
to abandon country which morally they
are bound TO defend, and which they
have solemnly sworn to serve, are unwor-
thy, and should be confded in no more.

more extensive field for the display Of his
powerful alents.-Something wherein he
could have shown himself at least more
conspicuously than in tho mere arguing
a dull and monotonous case about raising
