A WEEKS PLEASURING.

\ The editor of the Ncw-York Commercial
Advertiser describes in his usual happy style
short tour of pleasure to Boston, stopping
by the way at this place. After describing
the pleasure of acareering up the sound" in
the swift steamer Lexington, meaning no dis
paragement however to either Of the other
superb boats) ain fresh bracing summer
breeze, and under clear blue summer sky
his excellent fare "under the spreading wings
Of the Eagle, whose proprietor, the obligng
Mr.. Townsend, possesses a peculiar talent
for making his inmates comfortable"-his
fight to Boston over the Rail Road in one Of
the "particularly large, handsome and COM
Portable cars"-ho continues his journal as
follows
"Of the sayings and doings in Boston at
the time of our too short visit, we have it not
in mind to speak, and therefore we return to
Newport scribendo, as we did by the rail road
on Tuesday afternoon. And now for the no.
tabllia of that exemplary town.
! The first visit was, of course, to the far
famed mill, which, under favor, we maintain
mill, at any former period Of its existence. 1t
was evidently fortalice-a place Of resort
and shelter in time of peril from the aborigi
mes. Its size, the care and skill that were
employed in its construction, and even its
FORM prove this concusvey to Our mind; and
not less SO its situation, which, being height
commanding an extensive look out in all di-
rectons--that is, before the view was OBJ
structed by houses-shows that it was also
designed as a place of observation whence
danger might be deserted in its approach
Then the Fireplace, constructed just above the
summit Of the arches, and the loop-holes on
every side, bear stIong testimony against the
notion Of its humber origin. 1t is in excel
lent preservation, and is cherished, we are
happy to say, by the good people of Newport,
and especially by its proprietor, with a re-
spcct commensurate to its value, as one Of
the few legitimate ruins of which our coun-
try has to boast. All demonstration to the
contrary notwithstanding, we hold it in rev.
erence as military relic of the first settlers
IN New England.
l But this Is not the only lion of Newport;
Paradise and Purgatory are there, and more
over two fac beaches, upon which the waves
OF the Atlantic roll aud roar forever. The
dash, and spray, aud never-ccaslng thunder
Of the surf, as it breaks madly upon the rocks,
or comes with less inpetuous hut not less
mighty force, in long sweeping surges crest
cd with foam, upon the gently sloping sands,
are glorious and magnificent; and the bath
ing is also apital.-Purgatory is natural
curiosity; perpendicular cleft in the wall of
solid rock that towers above the ocean, some
twenty feet in diameter and extending twice
rs many yards from the front Of the cliff, with
the waves perpetually rushing in and out al
ternately. You stand upon the brink of the
fissure, looking down the perpendicular chasm
and listening to the hoarse murmur of the
surges fifty feet beneath, and if you think Of
falling, the blood goes quick and chilled back
10 the heart, Tor to him that should fall there,

When the fire broke out at Charlestown,
on Tuesday evening, several gentlemen from
Bangor were present, and after taking Oft
their coats, and carefully depositing them as
they thought in safety in the Middlesex Ho-
tel, they nobly exerted themselves in endeav-
oring to check the progress of the fames.-
The Hotel was aft 'rwards burnt, and the
coats of course had disappeared. One of
them belonging TO D. j. Shaw of Bangor, con-
tained pocket book with drafts and notes,
to the amount offjleen thousand dollars. This
was very fortunately rescued from the flames
by Captain Coun, of the barque Palestine,
who returned it to him the next morning with
the pocket-book and contents safe. Mr..
Shaw generously offered Capt. Coun 500 for
his kindness in preserving his effects, which
were refused. He then insisted on his re-
tanning the coat, which will be devoted to
charitable purposes.- Boston .ner. Jour.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

by the arrival OF the ship Trenton, at Bos-
ton, from Liverpool, London papers have been
received to the 25th of July inclusive. The
most important item ofintelligcnce contained
in these papers is the loss ofSr Robert Pcel's
motion for the division of the Irish church bill
The debate was closed at half past three on
the morning of the Oath, and the vote stood
for the motion two hundred and fifty-two, a.
gainst it three hundred and nineteen. Min
isterial maiorty sixty-seven. Mr.. Jackson
and Lord Stanley spoke in favor of the mo-
ton, Mr.. Ward, Mr.. Shiel, Mr.. O'Connell,
Lord Morpeth, and Lord John Russell against
it. Lord John Russell, in reply to a qucs-
ton, stated in behalf of ministers, that he
should bring in bill on the subject Of Eng
lsh tithes in the course Of the next session.
A great meeting was held in London on
the subject of newspaper stamp dulles.-
Lord Brougham presided. A full account of
the proceedings is given in Il letter from the
correspondent Of the Boston Atlas.
The only additional item we find in the
Boston papers, is the following paragraph:
LONDON, Friday evening, July Mth.-It
has been generally reported to-day that the
West India loan is on the point Of being ne
golated, aud also that it is intended TO con-
tract for the whole twenty millions al once.
Ii is supposed that in order to prevent the op-
Grafton from pressing with any undue weight
upon the money market, the instaiments will
be small, and so distant from each other as to
be spread over period Of two years before
the whole of the payments are completed. -
This rumor has caused some flatness in the
business of the English market, but prices
have not been affected by it.

| Lynch Lmo.--The summary proceedings
perpctrated under this -appelation, are null
tipying with frightful rapdlty. Almost eve
ry day brings with it the necessity of recor-
ding some fresh instance of the violation OF
order and law. An individual lately in Mo-
/ bile attempted, by the abduction Of his broth
er's child, to extort sum OF money from the
father. The plot was dscovered-the child
restored--and the offender, under the author
ity of that lea non scripta, the Lynch code,
has been hung by the mob on the next tree!
! In the meanwhile, as time passes on, and
excitement subsidies, these hasty and lawless
acts in almost every case appear marked with
injustice, llagrant and rrcmediable. In Mis-
sissippi they have been hanging blacks by
dozens, together, to use their own phrascolo-
gy, "With a smart sprinking" Of steam doc
tors and itinerant preachers. And now, let
ters from the scene of action say, that after
all it appears to have been much ado about
lnothing;" and that ''n0 very clear evidences
Of a conspiracy are apparent" An innocent,
harmless and pous citizen in Virginia was
lately seized, and punished in the most out
rageous manner, and now, forsooth, his sup
posed guilt turns out ITO have been all mis-
take" And the worst of it is, these proofs of
innocence come too late for the sufferer. 1t
is out Of the power, even Of their majesty, the
mob, to make rcparaton for disgrace inllct-
ted, or to remedy the Inconvenience result
ing from being hanged.
1t is high time that some adequate exam
pie should be made in behalf of the sanctty
of the laws, and the security of Society. If
life and all that makes life valuable are to de-
pend thus on the breath of mob, we would
prefer infinitely an administration founded on
similar principle with Jack Cadc's, ''that all
the laws Of England should proceed from his
mouth"
The course pursued in some instances by
the press in relation to this matter is to be
regretted. Judge Lynch ana his proceedings
are often spoken of in tone of levity and
made the subject of familiar and unbecoming
testing. Now, it strikes us that all this is as
Ill timed, rs unfortunate in the influence it is
likely to exert. These scenes are calculated
only to sicken the heart, and alarm the fears
ofevery one who has stake in the honor and
welfare OF his country. They should never
be alluded to, but in terms ofunqualified rep
obation.-.HJdny Journal.

no earthly power could render aid or hope.-
The top Of the rocky plain is almost perfect
ly level; no intimatlon is given Of the exis-
tence of the gulf until you are close upon it;
and one rambling there at night would wan
der dariily without warning of his peril, un-
less his sense of hearing should gather it
from the hollow sounds Of the imprisoned
waters.
1t is recorded among the traditions Of the
place that two gentlemen from New York,
ambitious of immortality, leaped over the
abyss, about a year ago; Il feat never before
or since accomplished, because never before
or since attempted. They assurcdly proved
themselves more largely endowed with ugili-
ty than with discretion.
From Purgatory the transition to Paradise
is pleasant and desirable, if not natural. The
first is indebted solely to nature for its charm;
in the latter, art has aided nature. Para
dise-that is, Newport Paradise, is an exten-
sive piece of ground, comprising, we should
think, some hundreds of acres, beautifully di-
versifed with gently swelling hills, and ver-
dant lawns, aud ledges of rock, and sloping
daes-precip pitous ascents, and gradual ele-
vations-ravines and hillocks-upon which
some good natured gentlemen has taken the
pains to plant some thousands Of trees, that
now form shady groves, and long pleasant al
lcys wherein the sentimental citizen may
wander from 'morn till noon, from noon to
dewy eve,"-even in the hottest DAYS, in the
full enjoyment Of outrageous shelter, with
pleasant turf beneath his feet, and pleasant
breezes floating round him. We could not
learn the name of the philanthropist, and man
of taste, as well as of good feeling, who did
all this, or it should be recorded in this very
paragraph. Unknown we honor him.

dance of grass pover, whereof we made dis
covery in our walks among the fields and
meadows-the delectabe lishing-the "good-
lie companie," with whom we had pleasant
converse at the Eage-the warm saltwater
baths, and the very pretty faces of Newport,

they not be duly eulogized whenever we
write book containing the record OF our per-
errinatiuns2

In this case it will be seen three candidates
have majority Of the whole number OF
votes, and that only one, Sprague, is elected.
II will also be seen that if the fire who voted
for Burgess and Sprague, had voted for Bur-
ges alone, Burgess, Sprague and Cranston,
would each have had thirteen votes, and there
would have been no election, though each
had majority Of the whole. Again, it will
be seen, that if the fee who voted for Burgess
and Sprague had voted for Burgess alone, and
the five who voted for Cranston and Sprague
had voted for Cranston alone, Burgess and
Cranston, each having thirteen votes, would
have been elected, Pearce and Sprague each
having only seven. But it is too late for ex-
plantations like these to DO any good, as it re-
CARDS the recent election. We thought that
the effect Of voting in this way had been so
fully illustrated before election, that none
could misunderstood. But votes have been

VAN BURENIsM s. ANTIMAsoNRY

=
The Boston Centinel speaking of the re-
suit Of the late Congressional election in this
State, says-"Thc recent election in Rhode
Island affords another conclusive commenta-
ry ON the identity Of Van Burenism and poll
teal Antimasonry. The two parties put their
heads together and united their efforts against
the constitutional Wings. High masons of
Van Buren politics have been supported in
repeated instances, both in Rhode Island and
Massachusetts,, by political Antimasons! II
any thing were wanting to prove the utter
want of political principle in the still adher-
ing political antimasons, it may be found in
the course of events in Rhode-Island The
effect has been to elect at least one Van Bu-
rem man TO Congress, and perhaps two, and
to defeat that distinguished and able Wing,
Mr.. Burgess.
The fact is that political Antimasonry has
been, from the outset, favored by Martin Van
Buren,, to aid him in his schemes Of political
aggrandizement. The immediate object OF
the party, was to break down De Witt Gin
ton, in New York. After bis death, it was
countenanced by Van Buren, for the purpose
of creating division in the Wing ranks. 1t
has had that effect IN New York, in Pcnnsyl-
yania, Ohio, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Maine, and Massachusetts. Disguise
was practised at first, but at length the mask
has been taken off, and we now perceive po-
litical Antinasonry and Van Durenism united
heart and hand. The leaders Of the Antima-
sonic party in this State, arc avowedy in ia.
vor of Martin Van Buren. Look at their
press in this city, and the course Of the lead
ers. But this is not ALL Mr.. Van Buren, has
contrived to make use Of men who have been
