MUSICAL CoNcERT.-The Twin
Sisters, the Misses MAcoMBER, held
concerts OF instrumental and vocal mu-
sic, in the courthouse in this place, on
Saturday and Friday evenings last
We had the pleasure of being present
on one occasion, and were highly de-
lighted with the performances of the
ladies. There was nothing in their
proceedings offensive, even to the most
fastidlous. The ladies are tall and
portly, are as much alike in their per-
sonal appearance as two blue beans,
plain and unassuming in their manners,
and cannot fail to elicit the applause
and good wishes Of their audiences
Their instruments are the violin and
violincelIo.
Capture ct a Siauer. On the Gath
of March last, the United States brig
Truxton, Henry Bruce commander, as
sisted blythe British steam sloop Ardent,
captured the 'Spig5re,' a SLAYER, and
bearing the American flag, while lying
at anchor in the river Rio Pongas, on
the coast of Africa, for the purpose of
taking in a cargo of slaves, at the slave
factory Of a man named Faber. The
name Of the captain of the SLAYER is Pc
ter flowery-who, in company with
few of his crew, are now being tried in
Boston, before the proper tribunal,
where it is hoped they may receive the
recompense which the nefarious traffic
IN which they were engaged so richly
deserves.
