The Yearly Meeting of Friends
which commenced on this Island on
Saturday lust and which has since been
continued in this place, will close to-
morrow. A public meeting we under
stand will be held this morning, com.
mencing at the usual hour. The num-
Der of preachers at this meeting is abou,
the same as at former meetings, among
them are-Joscph John Gurney, from
England; Joseph Bovine, and Richart
Mott from New York; Stephen Gralct
and John Scott from Philadelphia.
We learn that the present meeting o.
the Friends has been very united ant
satisfactory one, and that the considera
ton Of the removal of the Yearly Meet
ing, which has so long been before them
has been dismissed entirely.
The care taken by the Towns Com
mittee to prevent disturbance in the
Meeting House yard on lst day, we al
so learn was very useful and contribu-
ted essentially to the preservation OF
order Oh the occasion. The Friends
were particularly gratilied and grateful
for the attention.

TO the Editor Of the NJ York Daily Express.
SIR-Sccing in your paper ofthe 9th
instant that you did not publish the
name, us requested, of the person who
gave to you such shameful statement
in regard to myself request you
very earnestly to publish in your first
number after receiving this, the name
of the individual (let him be whom he
may,) who gave you such false and
calumnious information, that | may
have an opportunity to prove to you as
well as to the public, by recourse to
the Laws, that his statement is nothing
more than a villanous fabrication.
hope you will do this, as otherwise, |
shall be obliged to hold you responsible
for giving publicity to such libel on
my character.
Further, as relates to your prejudiccs
against me, about the affair which oc-
cured on board of the vessel Eliza &
Abby, am sorry to say that it proves
not much for your remembrance, that
you should forget the statement pub
lished in the Courier & Enquirer of the
9th Dec. 1897, which fully cxoneratcd
me from blame under the circumstances
in that transaction and which state
ment | think you copied into your own
paper. But whether you or any one
else, consider me justified or not, l
should suppose that my often in vain
repeated requests TO the General Gov
ernment for an investigation, would ap-
pear quite as much to my advantage,
to say the least, us to that of any other
party concerned in that affair.
am in expectation sir, that you will
give me the name of your informant,
and who has basely represented Inc as
"Chcraiier d'Industrie"
Respectfully,
Your most Obcd. Servant,

The new steamer, John w. Richmond,
Cant. Townsend, made her first trip from
Providence TO New York on Thursday hlgl't
last. and returned OIL Saturday night. She
is a very beautiful and commodlons boat, ana
was crowded will, passengers. The hrst ~
miles she accomplished in about seventy
minutes, but owing to some slight defect u,
her machinery her progress was not as RAPID
in rough water as her speed on the river LED
us TO suppose it would be-thc passage, how
ever, Notwithstanding green wood was used
and the machinery new and untried, was ac
complished in something less than seventeen
hours. The Richmond and the Narragan'
sett both left New York on Saturday ut tho
same time, and much interest was expressed
as to which would reach Providence first, al
though it was supposed, as matter OF course
that the Narrsgunsett, her machinery being
smooth and in perfect order, would take the
lead on that occasion at least, which PROVED
to be the fact-the N. arrived at Providence
about an hour we believe before the X. Mr.
Lee, the obliging superintc cndant OF the Dos
ton and Providence Rail Road, immcdatel !,
ordered extra Cars for the passengers OF th'
Richmond and they were in Boston rs soor
as 10 o'clock on Sunday morning.
Captain Townsend is an obiging and IN
telligent officer, and manifested an anxious
disposition to do all in his power to promote
tho pleasure Of those under bis charge. Dr
Richmond, whose rame the boat bears, wa
on board, aud by his social affability contrbu
ted much to the qualification ofihe nuneron
company. A band of music from Providence
occasionally delighted the ladies' and gentle
men with some popular airs and called scvo
raj cotlllions, which added not little to th'
II gaiety of the passage.

contained diamonds, which were dutiable
articles, he sent for the Collector of the port.
Mr.. Liitlefeld, with the view of placing all

depositc it with the Sheriff, Mr.. Dourlass.-
This MIR. Seller did forthwith, and took a
receipt-and few days afterwards received
through Mr.. Douglass, from Capt. Marsaud
written statement that every thing was
found right, and in the same order as when
entrusted to him.
| From this it appears, that Mr.. Seller acted
throughout with caution and with perfect
propricty-and no one here prctends to ac-

premises. And yet in public journal, on
the authority, it would seem, of Consular
Agent, he is charged with tho design of ap-

rect account of Capt. Sellers conncc-

of the conditions, as therein stated, upon
which he was to go to Washington for
him. 1t would appear from the forego-
ing, that the conditions were of pc
cuniary naturc-but Capt. S. informs
us such was not the fact. He offered
to go to Washington and intcrccde for
him with no other view than to render
all the assistance in his power to one
who had solicited his aid and whom he
believed wrongfully accused, with the
understanding that Marsaud should
show him his papers for Java. But
Marsaud not showing Capt S. his
papers for Java, according to promise,
he declined having any thing more to

mined to rcIinquish the power ofAttor-

The present month Of June will be
remembered by the inhabitants of New
port, old and young, as the livcliest and
most bustling which has come within
their recollection for series Of years.
The vast concourse of strangers which
has thronged our town, called hither
by the Yearly Meeting of Friends, and
the curiosity excited by the splendid
French ships of war, has given our
usual quiet streets for many days past
all the appearance Of gay and popu-
lous city. We will not undertake to
estimate the numbcr-suffice to say,
that the steamboats, and vessels from
Providence, Fall River, and other
places in the vicinity, every day since
Saturday hast, have been crowded with
passengers of all ages, sexes, and con-
ditions and hustle, hustle, noise and
frolic have been the unceasing and un-
interrupted "ordcr Of the day" The
pcaccablc and retiring Friends, how
ever, have participated but little in the
noise and excitement incident to such
festivals-their gathering here being
for far different purposes.
But the French ships particularly
the three decker, or rather fire decker
have been the principal attraction
thousands have visited them, and cX-
plorcd every "nook and corner" of
their stately compartments. The pa
tience of the polite and untring French
men has been tested to its full extent
No officers or men ever distinguished
themselves by greater attention and
politeness to visitors, than these noble,
generous hearted sealnen since their
arrival here. 1t will have a good, n
lasting elIcct-it will tend to strengthen
and promote that good feeling between
us which existed in National point of
view in times gone by-whcn the gal
liant Lafayette left his country and his
home to stand by the side Of our Wash
ington, in the struggle for American
Liberty. More might be said but we
have not time or room at present.
Tomorrow, we understand n dinner
will be given the officers Of our Navy
residing here, and a few invited guests,
on board the neutrality-suspicious. to
which, (if the weather be pleasant a
mock combat, or sham fight represent
ing naval engagement, will be per-

witness the scene and no persons

10 come on board, either of the ships
during the grand exhibition. twill be
worth looking at, and will undoubtedly
attract many to witness it.
The fine steamer Kingston, we learn
will take passengers of for the purpose
accommodating those who may desire
to view the display, and who may no
be so fortunate as to be otherwise more
iavorably accommodated.

NEWPORT, June 9th, 1888.
In the New York Express, in a statement
which appears to have been authorised by
the French Vice Consul, Of this port, find
the following libelous paragraph, in con-
nexion with narrative wholly fabulous oI
the case which is now so Justly exciting ouI
citizens, aud which is calculated to excite the
attention of commercial men throughout the
country. The paragraph TO which refer is
in the following words:
"Marland, it is stated, confded the care OF
"his Malay wife aud treasures to the VI.
sSeiler the Cheraiier fI,duSiric who figured
$50 conspicuously in this port when the
"soreign enlisted corps was embarked Tor
"Forida-but Marand soon finding out the
"rcputa.ion Of Seller, sent back his wife after
"thc treasures, when Seller was not to be
"found at home, but was making his way Tor
sthe New York steamboat, where the gold
sand diamonds were found, and lodged IN the
"bank under seal"
II The name of the captain OF the Alexandra
Ii, Marsaud-not Marland-and the state
meDts here made are all as false, as the I'M
puia,ons upon NJ. Seller are unjust and un-
Il founded. As to the "reputalion" which that
gentleman enjoys, can only say, that he
II il very much respected by our cltlzcns-that
his character is entirely above reproacli-and
that i'm his connection with this ALTAR, no one
eptertains the least suspicion OF his intentions
The whole paragraph from the Express Is q
| cratuitous libel on very worthy man.
nj. Seller became connected IN this ousl-
ness, in the following anner:-Seeins
II French vessel in port, and having II 10 con-
/ temptation TO 60 to France, he wrote 10 thc
