GILBERT STUART.-We published
communication from a highly respected
correspondent, in our columns last week,
in which mention was made Of the sup
posed birth place of this celebrated ar
'tist. Since its publication, we havo
had information direct from the family
of the late Mr.. Stuart, residing in this
town, that Newport was not the native
place of Mr.. S. but that he was born at
the Old Mills in Narragansett, at what
is now called the Village of Wakefield.
1t is altogether probable that the family
are correct in regard to this fact, though
we are satisfied that the conversation
spoken of on that subject, actually took
place between our correspondent and
Mr.. S. precisely as narrated in the com
munication referred to.
