What revulsion of ferling-thrice disapp0inted- having lost his money and found it as he sup posed; but alas it was but mOmentary de.

 as every thing of the kind goes off in Massa-
 chusrtts-with spirit and eclat worthy ofthe

 Davis. MT. Quincy and great number of other distinguished gentlemen were present, and made speeches-most of them admirable.
 One gentleman was exceedingly successful in| proving that Worcester is a seaport town. and his argument is so conclusive to Ourminds. that we expect to see the General Government called upon to send Captain Shrieve, we be- lieve his name is. to clear the snGgs out of the navigation from Boston to the beautiful mari time port of Worcester.
