The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1838-01-17

The General Assembly had long had un-
der consideration the subject of renumera-
ting the sufferers by the mob in Newport,
in 1865, which had been resolved on by
Parliament and recommended to the Gov
ernor aud company of Rhode Island by the
King The money due Rhode Island by
the British Government was withheld, to
enforce the demand on the Colony, but the
Assembly, we believe, never acted definitely
upon the subject.
We here give an extract of letter from
Doctor Moffat Zone of the sufferersi 10 Lord
Shelburne, briefly stating how he had been
treated by the General GssembIy.
From the Negport Mercury.

the G. Assembly Of Rhode Island Colony,
in references to their granting Of a compen-
sation TO the sufferers from The riot of New

Parliament and very graciously recon-
mended from his Majesty to the Governor
and Company Of that Colony by his Prin-
cipai Secretary of State.

PARIS lst Sept, 1888
What lovely day yesterday was What aneth-
or lovely day this is The sky is perfectly clear
the air pure and the atmosphere balmy. Al this
season OF the year. the weather in Paris resembles
that of New York. There is netting like It in any
part of England. Clouds and mist always, more
or e.s obscure the iace of heaven across the chan
mel. Not se in France. On landing in Havre, the
frs, thing that struck me was the remarkable purity
Of the amospherc-the liberal quantity OF sunshine
with which they were best.
A friend of mine called upon me last evening at

how do enjoy good sleep! Blessed be the man,
as Sancho Psnxa says, who invented sleep; be-
