r. B. RANDOLPH,
Late Of the u. $. Mary.
(A)

The President OF the United states has
carefully examined the PROCEEDINGS Of the
court OF Enquiry charged with the inyes
tigation of the conduct Of LteuteHgnt II
b Randolph in connection with his ac
count as acting purser Of the frigate Con
stitstion.
II appears by the evidence Of Commo
dore Patterson, commander of the ship,
that upon the death oil Purser John Is
Timberlake at Port Mahon. on the Cd day
of April 1873, Lieutenant Randolph was
appointed acting Purser; and that verbal
orders were given directing an inventory
to be taken according to law Of all the
money and stores, public and private, left
by the said fimberlake which were about
to pass into the possession of the acting
Pnrser; and thal it was reported this duty
had been performed with the exception oi
some stores which were slowed away I'm
der the ships provisions. she being nearly
ready TO sail for the United States.
II appears by the same testimony, that
when the ship had arrived near the Light
] House a, Boston, Commodore Patterson
enQuired OF Lieutenant Randolph whether
the inventories Of the money and property
left by MIR. Undertake had been sent TO
the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, and
was answered in the affirmative.
Nevertheless it appears by the evidence
Of those who were directed to take the in
ventories that although the money was
counted, no inventories Of the stores were
taken; and by the records and files of the
Fourth Auditors office il also appears that
40 account either of the money or stores.
. was furnished to that office by Lieutenant
Randolph. or any other person.
Ii further, appears. that IN the settle
ment of his accounts at the Office ofthe
Fourth Auditor, Lieutenant Randolph
neither charged himself with any portion
of the money or stores left by Mr. Tim
berlake. or gave any intimatlon that any
had come into his possession.
1t further appears, that after Lieutenant
Randolph had completed the payment OF
the ships company on her arrival in the
United States, he had len Of the public
money put into his hands for that purpose
upwards of $4,000; of which upon the
settlement of his accounta he returned in
to the Treasury $4,000. applying the resi-
to bis own use, and that he refused to
state in his defence before the court OF en-
quiry in what manner the surplus offunds
! had accEued.

Extract from the doings Of the Con-
eREssIoSAL Soc!ETY, held in Washing
ton in February last
"Ncxt in order, is the animating Ad-
dress of the Rev. DIR. Justin Edwards,
the distinguished Secretary Of the Amer
ican Temperance Society, in support OF
resolution purporting "that the success
Of the cause Of Temperance, in this and
other countries, affords high encourage
ment to the friends Of morality TO perse-
we're in their effort, till Intemperunce and
its evils are banished from the earth. -
Here are presented the facts, that in
the United States, within a very few
years.
More than 500, 900 have ceased to
use ardent spirit.
More than 500 have ceased to max e
it.
More than 1900 have ceased to sell
it.
More than COO of our vessels now nav
igate the Ocean without it.
More than 800 Of the ,1O7 men be-
longing to the Mediterranean squadron,
have voluntarily relinquished it.
In the Army the daily dole Of poison
has been discontinued by authority ofthe
Secretary of war, and his decision has
been met by corresponding disposition
on the part OF officers and men. More
over 5000 drunkards have in five years
been reclaimed; more than 80, 900 have
already, within the bounds Of the United
States,by the change in public sentiment,
been saved from becoming drunkards.-
More than 1900 Temperance Societies
have been formed; and in Great Britain,
more than 100000 individuals have al
ready pledged themselves to the same
work Of mercy. These assertions rest
upon unquestionable authority. Let
friends and foes consider and examine
them in all their bearing.
The resolution introduced by the Hon
Mr. Cooke, member of Congress from
Ohio, with its preamble and his remarks
are well adapted to the present condi
ton of the Temperance effort, and will
as we hope, come forcibly home to tn
business and bosoms ofmany in our land.

The FAIR. The Ladies Of the Dor
cas- and Convocation Societies held a
FAIR at Masonic Hall, yesterday. We
understand that great numbers were
present during the day. The extensive
variety of articles offered for sale-the
taste and elegance oftheir arrangement
in charge too of such fair and fasci-
mating yenders-seemed to defy the pos
slbllity of even seeing without buying.
The proceeds thus far, we are happy

CoNcERT.--Mr Hansen, the we'll
known vocalist and composer Of music,
will CRAFTY the ladies and gentlemen OF
Newport, with Concert at Masonic

patronage: Mr. FL. has given several
Concerts in Providence, Boston, and
other places, which have been spoken of

EXECUTION OF CLOUGH.

Yesterday, the unhappy career of Jo-
Ell CLoUGH was terminated upon the
scaffold; and he has suffered the last
agonies from which escape had been for
bidden. The solemn spectacle was wit
messed by an immense assemblage of
persons, variously estimated from twelve
to thirteen thousand.
On the evening previous to his Exc
cution, Clough was attended by the Rev.
Mr. Wilmer, and one or two other gen.
tlemen, who were engaged with him, in
discoursing on his approaching dissolu-
ton, and endeavorng TO prepare his
mind for the awful change which awaited
him. They left him about midnight; and
when they were gone, he addressed him
self to his pallet, and slept soundly for
upwards Of three hours.
Between 12 and o'clock, yesterday
Clough left the Jail, in company with the
Sheriff, Bishop Doane, the Rev MI
Wilmer, and other clerical gentlemen.
They proceeded in dearborn to the gal
lows, around which battalion of inian.
try, numbering about five hundred men
had formed hollow square. The gal.
lows was erected by the road side, about
two miles this side Of Mount Holly. A
round the place, in every direction ,were
the assembled multitudes-som some in tents
and by Wagons, engaged in gambling
and other vices Of the sort, in open day
unawed by the dreadful sight that wa.
soon to be presented.
When the party in the dearborn arriv.
ed at the gallows, Clough stepped with.
out help from the vehicle, and after bid
ding adieu to several acquaintances
whom he met on alighting, he ascendec
the platform, and seated himself in
chair. Several cIergymen, Bishop Doan'
and Mr. Wilmer, ,ofthe Episcopal Church

Death Of Commodore Boinbridge. An
other gallant officer of the navy is no
more. Commodore William Bainbridge,
after long and painful illness, died at
Philadelphia on Saturday the 9th inst.
in the Goth year Of his age. His func-
raj was attended yesterday afternoon, ,and
appropriate tokens Of respect paid to his
memory by the officers of the army and
navy in our sister city. The latter were
requested to attend in Uniform by Com
modore Barron, and the l26th regiment,
with two companies ofartillery, under the
command of Col Watmough, were de-
tailed by Msj. Gen r. Patterson for the
solemn occasion. The funeral was also
attended by large concourse of citi-
zens. That Commodore Bainbridgc
was ar able intrepid officer, none has any
! doubts; and the service he rendered to
Hs country by the conquest Of the Java
Z in an early part Of our late contest with
Great Britain, was invaluable, by inspir-
ing our seamen with that confidence in
their own prowess which is essential to
victory, and which had previously con-
tributed so much to render terrible the
armaments Of Great Britain.

Dreadful .Accident.--We learn from
the Boston Advertiser and Patriot, that
about nine O'Clock on Thursday evening,
cries Of distress were heard by the in
mates of the fremont House, proceeding
from the avenue on the south side. On
proceeding to the spot, they found the
body of Mr.. Joseph Ingham, merchant
of that city, resting on the sharp points
of the iron railing, on which he had fall
len from the fourth floor Of the House,
and which had penetrated deeply into
his back and side. When discovered he
was making feeble effort to extric ate
himself, but was incapable of speaking.
1t is probable, that he leaped from the
window, either in his sleep, or in state
Of partial arrangement. The window
was found to be raised to the height OF
about foot, and one Of the blinds clos
cd. 1t is stated, that some symptoms OF
mental alteration had been exhibited by
him during the week. The wounds are
very severe land the situation Of Mr.. Ing
ham is extremely critical. 1t is believ-
ed, however that he will recover.
