few days ago for the British Province
of New Brunswick. He has gone with
all his sins upon his head. Not word
Of apology or explanation has been offer
ed by him or by the abolitionist's who have

Since the above was in type, we have
received the Essex (Salem) Register Of
Monday, in which it is assorted on posi-
tive knowledgethat Thompson sailed from
Boston on Sunday before last, in'the Bri-
tish brig Satisfaction, for st. Andrews,
New Brunswick, intending there to take
passage for Halifax, and from thence to
England. His family, consisting of
wife, two children, and two servants, who
have been residents near Salem during
the past six or eight months, have not
gone with him, but will remain in the
country till the spring, when they will
take passage direct for Europe.

Ger, destroyed herself on Saturday even
inc last, at Philadelphia, by taking
large quantity of solid corrosive subli-
mate, which she placed on an apple, and
ate. She died within ten minutes after

SRocKiNG AccIDENT-On Saturday
last, Mr.. Cyrus Scott, of Coventry, left
his house for the purpose of going to one
of his neighbors, and took his loaded gun
with him, and, as appears, ne crossed
new made farm, where the brush had
been cut away, and by some accident, his
gun became entangled which caused it to
90 off, and lodge its contents in his head,
which must have produced instant death,
besides setting his clothes (Which were OF
cotton velvet) on fire, as when the body
was found, which was not until Monday,
Il was entirely naked. He has left wife
and one child, besides numerous rela-
tives, to mourn his sad fate. Prov. Jour-
nal.
The wretch Fieschi is said to have been
Graded in profigacy aud crime His pa
rents, uncles, sc. were all felons, brig
ands, or galley slaves. This monster still
hopes, it is said, that his punishment will
be commutedto deportation and constantly
amuses himself in his cell, in playing at
cards and domino.
JoIcE HErH. The Salem Landmark
says that Joice Heth is an impostor. 1t
is stated by.those who exhibit her, that
she was baptized in the Potomac in l7l9.
The Richmond (Va) Herald states that
there is no record of any Baptists in that
section of the state until l743, when "Ed-
ward Hayes and Thomas Yates, men,
bers of Baptist Church in Maryland,
moved with a company to Berkley coun-
ty, Va, and formed Church" This is
the first church of which we have any ac-
count in that region ; and the date Of its
formation is twenty-four years subsequent
to the baptism of Jcice. BY this the sto-
ry of Joice's baptism is proved to be in
correct, "and the two or three lazy look
ing men who appeared to be equal mana
gers ofthe show" confirms the Landmark
in the suppositlon that the whole affair is
a speculation.
A letter from Washington, dated the
1 lth inst. says .-"It is supposed, or rath-
surm,scd, that Gov. Cass will be appoint
ed Minister to England, and that Gov.
Wolf will be invited to take the War De-
partment. This seeems plausible, as it is
necessary at the present juncture to throw
some executive patronage into Pennsyl-
wanna.
