~ petitioners. citizens Of Rhode Island, and
Of the adjoining State Of Massachusetts,
That the present post road from the Stone
Bridge in Tiveiton to the village of Fall
River, on the line dividing the State of Rhode
island from the State Of Massachusetts, is,
from the formation of the land and other
causes, one Of the most difficult in the State !;
that greatly increasing travel and trans
poration between Fall River and the Island
of Rhode Island, demands the construction of
a more commodious road between the two
places: Your petitioners, deeply sensible of
these facts, are desirons Of building and es-
tablishing Turnpike Road from said Stone
Bridge to the line Of the State in the village
of Fall River, as nearly as can be according
to the plan, profile and report ofthc engineer
accompanying this petition, with a lateral
branch from the said main route TO the Tiv-
erton Print Works, as deineated thereon !;
and they pray an act Of incorporation by the
name and style Of the Stone Bridge and Fsi
River Turnpike Company, for that purpose !;
and as in duty bound will ever pray.

PHRENoLoGY.-Mcssrs. Fowler s. Al
len, finished their course of Lectures oil
Phrenolesy, in this place, on Tuesday
evening. The Lectures have all been
attended by large and highly respectable
audiences the two last, particularly,
were crowded to cxcess-evincing that
as the principles Of the science became
better understood and more thoroughly
illustrated, a deeper and livelier interest
was excited and felt on the subject
We do not recolect when so much inter
est has been awakened on any subject
among all classes in this community
as has been on the subject in question
during the past week. The ladies in an
especial manner, (on whom some very
well-timed complme ntary remarks were
bestowed by Mr.. F. on Tuesday even
iing,) have manifested decided regard
for the science-which augurs well for
their acknowledged good sense and un.
derstanding.
Mr.. Fowler is an agreeable lecturer.
and perfectly understands the science
though young, his experience and op.
portunities TO test its variability have
been varied and extensive and the nu.
merous proofs he has shown in this a.
well as in other places, that Phrenology
is founded upon scientific principles, are
sufficient we should think to establish it
truth beyond the possibility Of doubt
