FAULTS

"Corrupted manners shall meier defend,
Nor, falsely witty, for my faults contend"
As all errors is meanness, It's incumbent
on every man who con>ults his own dignity
to retracl it as soon as he dicovers it, with
out fearing any censure so much as that Of
his own mind. As justice requires that all in
iuries should be repaired it is the duty ofhim
who has seduced others by bad practices ,or
false notions, to endeavor that such as have
adopted his errors should know his retract'
ion, and that those who have learned vice
by his example, should, by his example, be
taught amendment johnson.

PHILOSOPHY OF ADVERTISING.

and town, who have no fixed places for the

which, perhaps, leads TO much Interior bust
ness. People in the country are also liable
to be favorably impressed by the frequent

advertising party acquires distinction in
their eyes, and thus they are led, in making
a choice to prefer him. But by far the most
important effect Of advertising is one of an
indirect nature, it conveys the impression
that the party pretending or not pretending
quackish or not quackish is anxious for busi

unavoidably supposed to be an industrious,

Queens Lancers sent out To The Swanpy
tract, called the Short Hills, IL miles from
the Falls of Niaera, TO put down the turbu-
lent spirits who reside there, had been sud
denly surprised. several killed and the rest
taken prisoners. The report (says the eX-
tral was first doubted, and gentleman OF
the highest responsibility went over to
Queenston TO ascertain lis truth.
Capt Palmer, the commander at that
Mace admitted that there had been Skin
msh between ten Of the Lancers and Two
hundred patriots, in which the former lost
their horses and equipments, and were all
taken prisoners, but were afterwards re-
leased.
The leader of the patriots is said to be
Samuel Chandler.
We believe that the whole company OF
Lsncers have been taken prisoners, and re-
tanned as such. Philip Bender was the on
ly man who escaped; he was wounded in the
leg.
Mcleod is stated to be one of the patriot
leaders, and Samuel G. Frey is also suppos-
ed to be among them. For the last tel days
the Canadian refugees have been returning
by night in small parties, and we have I'M
dersiood their rendezvous to be a, the Shorl

This morning 10 regulars and some vol

Patriots have now commenced the war, the

II Is impossible to describe the aqonics

The town of Providence from the time
it was burned and nearly destroyed in King
Philips war, had been constantly recover
ing, but at first very slowly; for tradition
says that for go or 20 yeras after that war
the town had but little more than recovered
its former size. At the period we have arriv-
ed at, the town of Providence was much in
creased in population, business and wealth.
Its trade, commerce and manufactures
had assumed vigorous appearance, and
every indication Of future enlargement, even
before the Revolutionary war. That war,
by drawing from Newport much Of the
wealth, the industry, the commerce, the
commercial capital, and commercial intel
llgence Of the town, contributed to the for
tune, growth and prosperity Of Providence.
Situated on navigable River--which was,
nevertheless, unapproachable by an enemy,
she enjoyed greater degree of security
than most others Of the commercial towns
during the Revolutionary struggle, and with
that security came innumerable other ad-
vantages.

MISCELLANY.

4 CAPTAIN BENJAMIN MoRRELL. MANY
: Of our readers will remember this person
as the reputed author of book purporting
to be a narrative Of his ad ventures on
four sealing voyages, which was published
ayenr or two since and made good deal
OF noise, IN consequence Of tie extrnordi-
nary discoveries hc pretended to have made
--albeit many presumed to doubt their
truth. Captain NJ, however, succeeded in
inducing some persons 10 fit out a vessel
under his command, TO 60 on a trading voy-
age to the Islands Of his reputed discovery.
The following narrative, which we copy
from the Boston Advertiser aud Patriot,
furnishes n sketch Of his yJftfh voyage.

Morrell, sailed from New York on or about
MarcI, o, 1884. She was fitted out by eey-
eral highly respectable merchants of that
place, ut the instigatjon Of said Morrcll,
who persuaded them that he knew Of sever
al articles Of commerce among the Pncl6e
Isles in short, that he had the key to un-f
bounded riches unknown to any other NOR
tai. The first news of him came from tho
Isle of France, where he put in to repnir
damages sustained in a gale off the Cape
of Good Hope; he sailed from there abort

crew aud armament, as well as his disburse-
ment account, to pay which be gave bot
