armies ready to engage, observing the

would observe the motion Of our New
England business, while stayed some
ten weeks with his lady in Lincolnshire.

The case Of bloodshed above alluded
10 that ofa citizen of Newport, name
unknown) who, it is said was tried for
q high crime by Town meeting in
Newport, and condemned. That he
was taken Immediately after sentence
from the Town meeting, down to the
shore about where Walner's wharf now
is, and there shot. There 10 no record,
extant Of such transaction, nor we be-
lieve the naked fact as stated, viz -
that the prisoner had no trial except by
the Town-meeting. But as il was a
time Of war with tho Dutch, it is alto.
gether probable that the indictment
eight have been for treason. This
transaction is involved in much doubt
Qfit ever took place) and as the Island
was under regular government, with
Magistrates duely commissioned--is is
hard to conceive how capital trial
should take place before Town meet
ing-unless the prisoner after sentence,
was INDUCED in-an appeal to tho people.
A the Towns of Providence aud War
wick held all the doings on the Island
as illegal. and the Towns Of Newport
and Portsmouth held those ofthe former
in the same light, that may account for
rhe expression "nLoopsuED" by the CON-
missioners in their letter to Mr.. Will
7iams.

From " Indian Melodies"
The Spectre Seer.

The prophet rose at dead Of night,
All on the burial bill,
And up my brethren, rise !" he cried,
In accent deep and shrill.
lie shook his wand and magic bones,
He beat his dancing drum,
And "ho my brethren, rise !" he cried,
"The hour we hoped has come.
Ho! warriors up and seize your arms,
"For they were laid with ye,
"And let us to the war again,
"And battle TO be free."
And from their graves the dreamless dead
Arose, upon the strand;
Each with war signal on his head,
And weapon in his hand.
Like gathering clouds the warriors stood,
A hundred thousand men;
A horrid front to look upon,
For blood was in no vein.
But banners waved and lanccs shook,
And frontlets scanned with red;
And giant chiofs moved to and fro,
An army Of the dead.
And" "ho! my friends" the prophet cried,
New let rs onward go;
"Wi,h shout and song-I give the cry,
81 lead you 10 the foe"
And at that word, hollow yell,
Broke out from every band;
That pealed across the distant vale,
And shook the solid land.
A moment more, and not one soul
Ofull that fearful throng,
Was seen beneath the moons pale beam,
Where !ate they rais'd the song.
Each to his own lone sepulchre,
Slid back with viewless trace;
And nought but rustling leaf disturb'd
The silence Of the place.

woke even more disgust than horror.---
But an evil purpose is ever strong he
carefully opened the phial, and with a
steady hand, let one drop fall on the eye
of the corpse. He closed the bottle. re-
placed tim the cnsket, and then, but not
ill then, looked for its effect. The eye,
large, melancholy, and of that deep vio-
lei blue, which only belongs to earthly
childhoods, as if 1t were too pure and
too heavenly for duration on earth, had
opened, aud full of life and beauty; was
gazing tenderly upon him. A delicious
perfume filled the air; ah, the old man
was right. Others had sought the Sc
cret OF life in the grave and the charnel
house; he had sought it amid the warm
and genial influences Of nature he had
watched the invigorating sap, bringing
back freshness to the forest tree; he had
marked the subtle spring awakening the
dead root and flower into bloom-the
essence of thousand existences was in
that fragile crystal. The eye now turn
ed anxiously towards the casket, then
with a minute el0quence towards the
son; it gazed upon him so piteously, he
saw himself mirrorred in the large clear
pupil; it seemed to implore, to persuade,
and at last, the long soft lash glstened +,
and tears, warm bright tears, rolled
down the livid cheek. Francis sat and
watched, with cruel satisfaction ter
rlble expression Of rage kinded the eye,
like fire, then it dilated with horror, and
then glared terribly with despair. Fran
cis shrank from the fixed and stony gaze
but his very terror.was selfish.
1t must not witness against me-"
rushed into his mind. He seized fold
of the grave clothes, crushed the eye in
the socket and closed the lid Of the cof-
fin. "A yell Of agony rose upon the ST.
lent night. Francis was about to sniite
the bowling dog, when he saw that he
lay dead at his feet. He hurried with his
precious casket from the chamber, which
he never entered again.

modulated by the fairy-like music. "He

wretch, making vain effort to rise ON

1868.


The commissioners Of the Towns Of
Providence and Warwick met again, at
Warwick the 18th of August 1853,
where they answered letter from the
Massachusetts, in which they remonstra-
ted against being drawn into the war
against the Dutch--they also wrote TO
Mr.. Williams their account Of Dyre's
proceedings, and Of their being urged to
give up their former proceedings, as
null, bu, say they "being still in tho
same order you left us, and observing
two great evils such course would
bring upon us.
"Firs,ly, the-hnzard Of all the disor-
ders and blood sheds which have been
committed on Rhode Island, since their
separation from u.s."
"Secondly, the cvading and frustra-
ting justice in divers welghty causes,
then orderly depending in our courts, in
some Of which cases Mr.. Smith and Mr..
William Field &c. were deeply concern
ed"
Therefore thsy could not yield to
such motion.
This cour, was adjourned, until John
Sayles General Assistant for Providence
and Stukeley Waskote General Assist
ant for Warwick, should see cause TO
appoint time and place.
This appears to have been the last
meeting of Providence and Warwick,
by commissioners.
Mr.. Williams, and Mr.. Clarke, we're
sill in England attending to the duties
Of their appointments, rs agents, one
for Providence aud Warwick, and the
others for the Island /; but as the main
object of both was the same, they united
their labors. They had many enemies
. and discouragements to encounter, bu'
success finally crownd their efforts. .
Mr.. Williams wrote to Providence g.
Warwick as follows:--
From Sir Henry Vans's at April lst.
Belleau in Lincolnshire. '5s (:o
"My dear and loving friends and
neighbors of Providence and Warwick ;
our noble friend Sir Henry vane, hav.

ding on his care, and going down to the

them both to accompany his lady to

may have pleased the most high Lord
of sea and land to bring Capt. Ch-rss-n''

myself drew up, and the council by Sir
IIenry's meditation granted us, for the
confirmation of the charter, until the de-
termination Of the controversy. This
determination you may please to under
stand is bindered by two main obstruc-
tions. The first is the mighty war with
; the Dutch, which makes England and
