III ERALD OF THE TIMES.

A highly interesting Lecture was de-
livered before the Newport Mechanics
Association, and other citizens of the
town, last evening, by JOHN Rowland,
Esq. ofProvidence, the venerable Presi-
dent of the Rhode Island Historical So
ciety, which was listened to by very
respect able audience with no ordinary
degree Disqualification. We regret that
the latcness Of the hour precludes the
possibility Of our doing anything like
justice to this able and instructive dis
course, which was rendered still more
interesting to our citizens, from the fact
that the lecturer, now numbering 83
years Of age, is a native of this town,
and retains at this advanced period OF
life, full possession ofhis naturally strong
mind and memory.-The interest Of the
occasion, was also heightened by the
presence Of his elder brother, HENRY
HowLAND, father of our present Town
Clerk, who is now in the 89th year OF
his age. This lecture which was an
Introductory to a course, was strictly
a historical one, in the course of which,
biographical notices were introduced
Of many of the disting guishcd men be-
longing to this State, who took part in
the American Revolution, both in the
Cabinet and in the field. The mass OF
important facts contained in this dis
course, should not be lost to the public
and we therefore hope that it may be
printed and preserved for the benefit ol
succeeding ages.

An EXPERIMENT.. Govern
mcnt," says a Paris paper, "a few
wears ago, left to three criminals con-
dcmned to death, the choice of dying on
the gallows, or adopting the following
conditions The first was to take tea,
the second coffee, and the third choco-
late, and to live as long IA they could,
but were to eat nothing with either ;
these conditions were eagerly accepted.
The last, who drank chocolate died in
eight months he who took coffee lived
two years; and the tea drinkcr survived
three wears. The man who took choco-
late died in state of complete dccom-
position, and so much eaten by worms,
that during his life, his limbs separated
one by one from his body. The man
who drank coffee was go disiignrcd al
ter his death, that one would have snid
