beiorc.-Onc small break and several rents
in the banks of Old Mulberry. At Pawley's,
a large break from sixty to seventy feet wide,
about fourto en- or fifteen acres Of rice in the

and will save most of the rice. AT Exeter, a
small break. but the rice was standing in the
field and not much damage, and it is stop

-iunately no break. have heard that they
have a break or trunk blown out at Dockon,

seriously by the whipping of the wind. The
tide was higher than have ever seen it here
on Friday night, but was much moderated
yesterday morning. The destruction is too
bad to think of.

HALLEY'S COMET.

Messrs. Editors-Between the hours Of |
and a, this morning, | examined this interest
ing visitor. Its appearance is very much as
has been described by others, except it is
larger-its apparent diameter being at least
six times that Of the planet Jupiter. ] at
tempted measuring it by the micrometcr at
tached to the telescope used, but the light
was too feeble to illuminate the wires. Its
position Is at present very near Kappa IN the
Constellation Auriga, little to the west and
south oft. This star being of the fourth
magnitude, is scarcely visible to the naked
eye, except when the air is very clear. Its
position may readily be found thus. Draw
a line from the planet Jupiter to the bright
star apella-another from the upper horn of
the Bull, Beta Tauri, to PollUX in Gemni,
and very near the intersection Of these lines
will be found Kappa Aurig9. 1t is at about
two-fitths the distance from Jupiter to Capea,
and midway between Beta Tauri and PolluX,
a little to the n. w. of the line connecting
the two latter. ] am thus particular in de-
scrbing the position of this star, rs with this
assistance in fixing It's place, those who are
desirous ofseeing the Comet, will probably be
able to do so with good common day glass.
The instrument which have used with the
best effect, is one of Troughton's Transit tel
escopes, with an object glass of one and fve-
eighths inches in diameter. The Gregorian
Reflector of thirty inches in length, and an
object glass of four and half inches, shows
it to very good advantage.
My assistant Tutor Train, got view of
the Comet on the morning of the 18th. but,
owing probably to want of clearness in the
atmosphere, not being able TO find it on u
succeeding morning, was led TO doubt wbcth.
er the object at first seen was the Comet or
not. For several mornings our observations
have been interrupted by clouds and mist
This morning, from one to four, our atmos.
phere was beautifully clear In the course
of a very few days, the Comet will oe visible
to the naked eye. A. CASWELL..

FARMERS AND MECHANICS. Miss Sedg-
wick, Of Stockbridge, in Massachusetts, has
just issued new work fyoln the press of Mes
srs. Monroe and Co. of Boston, entitled
"Home," and dedicated to the Farmers and
Mechanics.-Thc sentiment conveyed in the
following appropriate language, is no less
just than true. One of her characters char
ges his neighbor with the intention ofeduca-
ting his sons for the learned professions, and
his daughters for the wives of professional
gentlemen, to which the latter thus sensby
replies:
81 shall be governed by circumstance; I
do not intend or wish, Anthon to crowd my
boys into the learned professions. If any a.
nong them have particular talent or taste
for them, they may follow them. They must
decide for themselves in n matter more i'm
iortant to them than any one else. But my
boys know that ] should be mortified if they
selected these professions from the vulgar no.
ton that they were more genteel-a vulgar
word that ought to be banished from an A
mercan vocabulary-mo7e genteel than agri-
culture, or the mechanic arts. have labored
hard to convince my boys that there is moth
ing vulgar in the mechanic professions-no
particular reason for enyying the lawyer or
the doctor. They, as much as the farmer
and mechanic, are working men. And
should like to know what there is particular
ly elevatlng in sitting over Il table and writ
ing prescribed forms, or enquring into the
particulars of diseases and dealing out physic
for them. 1t is certainly false notion in a
democratic republic, that lawyer has any
higher claim to pcctabity-gentllity, if
you pleasc-than a tanner, goldsmith, a
painter, or a builder. 1t is fault of the me-
chanic, if he takes a place not assigned to
him by the government and institutions of his
country. He is Of the io,oer orders only when
he is self-degraded by the ignorance and
coarse manners, which are associated with
manual labor in countries where society is
divided into cGSies, and have therefore come
to be considered inseparabe from it. Rely
upon 1t, it is not so. The time has come when
being mechanics we may appear on 'labor-
ing days. as well as holy days, without the
sign of our profossion.-Talent and worth
are the only eternal grounds Of Distinction
To these the Almighty has affixed his ever
lasting patent ofnobility, and these it is which
make bright the immortal names to which
our children may aspire as well as others
1t will be our own fault, Anthon. if, in our
land, society as well as government is not re-
organized upon new foundation. But we
must secure by our efforts the elevations that
are now accessible 10 all. There is nothing
that tends more to the separation into classes
than difference of manners"

spread through the Island, and charged with
its internal police. OF these magistrates DIR.
Madden was one. He was selected by Lord
Mulgrave, (then Governor Of Jamaica and
now Lord Lieutenant of lreland,) for the most
important and difficult station, and placed by
him in Kingston, the capital Of the Island
Here he staid year; found il easier to get
into difficulties than to get out ofthem, threw
up his appointment in disgust, returned 10
England, d,-and published this book.
Besides its claim to attention as an anus
ing account Of peculiar condition ofsoclety,
it has, therefore, all the interest which can
attach TO it, as the first exact and detailed ac-
count we have of his transition from slavery
to liberty by the way Of apprenticeship"
In this point of view, it is Of some conse-
quence to weigh Alright the authors claims
upon our confidence. We see nothing which
tends to impeach his veracity; his appoint
ment proves the consideration IN which he
was held before and on his arrival in the Is
land; and the testimonials which he publishes
in his appendix, make it as certain as such
things can, that he carried away with him the
respect of the highest dignitaries Of the place.
But it must not be forgotten, that he went
there manifestly with the feeling, that it
was his main business to protect the slave;
that he felt an extreme dislike for slavery
and slave owners, and now and then EXPIRES
ses it without disguise; that these slave hold
ers soon looked upon him, whether justly or
not does not clearly appear, as their opponent
a. enemy, and began at once system ofan-
noyanco which drove him away; and finally,
that he publishes this work, beyond all doubt,
for the purpose ofjustlfying himself and put
ting his adversaries in the wrong.
Those xUho fool n Dpculiar intorost N tho
subject, will undoubtedly read his book, and
Judge for themselves, what good reasons he
has, for his opinion, that the experiment Of ap-
premiership or modified Slauery, is an absolute
failure. He seems perfectly confident that
it is equally and universally unpopular with
the blacks and the whites, the bond and the
free; that it cannot possibly live out its brief
period of six years; and must speedily give
way to unconditional freedom. We hardly
need TO add, that while he is very sure that
the intolerabe evils and difficulties OF
the "experiment" come from the incomplete
ness of the aboltion,-his opponents are at
least as certain, that all they endure now, is
u mere foretaste the far more grlevous mis-
fortunes which must overtake their island,
when the work is finished, which has already
had so bad beginning
AS description of the climate, scenery
and customs Of the island, Of the pains and
pleasures of life in Jamaica,-hs book is GER
tainly not without some merit, in comparison
with other works of this sort, which are now
so abundant, it may fairly be praised,-
though its humor is sometimes little forced,
the authors personal feelings occasionally
too manifest. and his wit not always of the
best quality.

NAVIGATING THE ATLANTIC ny STEAM.
Our readers will find in our advertising col
umns this morning, notice of an intended np-
plication TO our Legislature for the charter Of
a company to be dcnominated "The Atlantic
Steam Packet Company" the object Of which
is to establish a line Of steam packets be-
tween this port and Liverpool.
We are happy to hear that Captain Conn,
one of our most enterprising packet Captains
has charge of this enterprise, and that it is
intended to build vessels Of about twelve
hundred tons burthen with two engines each.
But little doubt is entertained Of accomplish
ing the passage out in about twelve days and
the return passage in about fourteen! We
have long been satisfied of the practcablity
of propcllng our packets by steam, and NO
congratulate the public upon the reasonable
prospect Of accomplishing this great object in
the course of the ensuing summer.-l.N j.

GALES AT THE SOUTH.

The Southern papers contain disastrous
accounts of the recent gales experienced in
that quarter.
The gale at Charleston on Friday after
noon and evening last, was very severe, do
ing much damage to the shipping. The Bea-
con Light on Morris's Island, for the guild
ance of vessels, was blown down.
At Savannah,a gale commenced on the 18th
and blew tremendously until the night of the
18th; when the wind veered from n. T.. to s.
f. and the tide rose all over the Islands,
Great fears were entertained of the Islands
it is expected that the crops are all swept a
way and destroyed and many lives lost, as
the slaves on the Islands about Savannah
were obliged to be moved over to Savannah
The same gale was felt in the neighbor-
hood of Key West. II commenced on the 18th
and lasted three days. Wind first from N.
w. and went all round the compass.
