Extract Of a letter received from pas
senger in the ship Poland, Captain Rich.
ardson. hence at Havre.
81 was deeply impressed with the good
results arising from the system of Tenn
perance adopted on board our ships. All
went on harmo niousiy, the men doing
their duty with alacrity and cheerfulness-
striking contrast with the shouting, ours
ing, and swearing, that occurs to shame
ful degree on board some ships.
'in the morning at half past Z. the men
were called upon the quarter deck, hymn
was sung, chaptsr in the Bible read by
the captain, generally accompanied by q
short addrasa, and concluded by prayer.
On Sun we had service twice in tho
day, Gr .dition to the morning prayers,)
at which 4 tract or sermon was read by
the captain"

NEW Ian TERN FOR SHIPS.

Captain de Coninck, Of the Danish Ma.

Navy, the light of which is much moro
brilliant than that at present in use. tits
obtained on the argrand principle, with
out the use Of glass, by conveying cur
rent Of air through the lantern. The
lamp contains sufficient oil to last several
hours. and is not liable to the effect Of bad
weather. II is said to have been tried with
complete success in gale of wind. The
above officer has applied the same prnci.
piles to the construction of deck lanterns,
eight or ten Of which. when placed mid.
ships. are sufficient to give light to tho
guns on the deck of the largest man Of
war. The light is so we'll secured from
external effects. that it ithstands the con-
cussion produced by the firing Of guns,
which so frequently extioguishes the light
Of common lanterns.

Erecution.-Mrs. Frances Silvers
wasexecutcd at Morgantown on the 18th
instant for the murder of her husband.
She made confession of all the circum.
stances leading to the commission of the
awful deed, from which it appears that
the whole period of her matrimonial
lite, Ia little more than two years, was
spent in a succession of quarrels and
fights, always, as she says, common
cedby her worthless partner. She says
he was loading his gun with the avowed
purpose ofshooting her when she struck
the fatal blow. A few moments after.
wards she would have given, she says,
a thousand worlds to have called back
the blow.--N. c. paper.

I'm afecti0nate Unele.-A New. York
paper states that a young lad was taken
to the Police Office in that city. by his
uncle, charged with having p'lfered, at
various times during the last three or four
weeks, about thirty dollars. The money
had been laid out in the purchase Of two
fowling pieces and six watches. The I'm.
Gle displayed a spirit worthy of Brutus-
but it is a pity that the reputation of such
a promising young watch dog should be
destroyed SO early. He was evidently pre-
pairing himself to acquire regular habits
and teach bis young ideas TO shoot-and
must have been shrewd hand at making
a bargain,-Bah, GAG.

Believing that the use of Ardent SPir-
h, in alI circumstances Of health, is not
only useless, but injurious, and that it
n: a direct tendency to the formation Of
Incorporate habits--that the unrestrained
increase Of intemperance would material
b obstruct our prosperity as nation or
community, check the advancement OF
norality and religion among US, and e.
ventuaily destroy our republican institu-
Sions that it is our duty,as friends to mo-
Yalky, patriotism and religion, to use ex-
sstion 10 exterminate the evil from our
land. And that il has been fully demon
slsatsd that voluntary associsti6n is more
.e1icient in effecting this object, than in
dividual exertion or legislative enact
,ments.
Therefore, we resolve 10 form Socie-
y end adopt the following
