borer IN the dissemination OF religious tracts,
Mr.. Thomas Freeman, the missionary of the
cause, has recently returned, says the Patriot,
after journey of about 800 miles, principally
in Pennsy lvania. He has visited all the towns
on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, on
the Susquehanna and Tide Water Canal as fl r
as Northumberland, and up the Juniata above
HollidaysbuIg. He labored among the boat
men, raftmen, quarrymen, and those at the
furnaces, endeavoring to promote their best in
terests, by the dissemination of tracts, and i'm
pressing upon them the necessity and import
ance of due observance of the Sabbath day.
and we doubt not his efforts will prove to have
been attended with highly beneficial results
Mr.. Freeman had the pleasure Of visiting the
U. S. ship Truxton, at Norfolk, just before she
sailed, and distributed tracts to all of the crew
the good effects of which will not be known
in time. He is an old mau-oi-war's man, and
had long and interesting talk with the com
mander of the Truxton.
SeUere Fall. A gentleman named Lunt,
who had just arrived from Richmond, Va, met
with quite severe accident yesterday morning
at the Exchange Hotel, where he was stopping.
He had got up before daylight, and mistakng
the rotunda for the yard, fell over the gallery
to the pavement, where he was found short
time afterwards by some Of the servants, almost
lialess. Drs Smith and Whitridge were i'm.
mediately sent for, who rendered all the seryi-
ces in their power. He was found to be much
bruised and injured, but no limbs were broken,
and with proper attention he will, no doubt,
recover. 1t was most unfortunate accident,
and narrow escape from being killed
FttIly Committed John Smith, alias John
Clarige, John Myers, alias John Rooney, and
Adam Myers, three boys, whose arrest we no.
ticed yesterday, on the charge of stealing
small sum of money from the drawer Of The
store of Moses Fulton, corner of Pleasant and
North streets, were further examined Yesterday
afternoon before Justice Kennard, and fully
committed for trial. 1t appears that two of the
boys decoyed the person who attended to the
store out of doors, and the third making use of
the opportunity, entered the store and took the
money out of the drawer. When will we have
a House of Refugee
A Man Trap. We are requested to call the
attention Of the Mayor, to large hole, adioin-
ing the sewer on the North East corner of

lent place TO break somebody's leg in. The
attention of the City Commissioners was direct
ed to it several days since, and one of them
shown the place, but it has not been led.

The MOunted Rifemen. BY reference to
our Marine head, it will be seen that the brig
SaIdana, Capt. Stubbs, which sailed hence,
few days since from this port, for Brazos ST.

er at Light street wharf, yesterday morning,

The Robbery in Old Tolcn. We noticed yes
terday, the robbery of an old man, named C.
Nj. Shane, of some 5000 worth of iewery.-

thirty or forty watches of different kinds and
value; among them gold chronometer watch.

paratus pass our office last evening, about eight
O'Clock, manned with boys; one reel especially

single man! Whose fault was IL
The Eastern Mail. The train of cars carry
ing passengers and the Great Eastern Mail,
and due here yesterday morning at O'Clock,
did not arrive until about O'Clock P. NJ. The
detention was caused by the train running off
the track, near Wilmington, Del. We did not
learn that any person was injured.
The Shipping. The number of vessels of all
sizes, but more especially ships, barques and
briggs, which have arrived within the past two
days, is almost unprecedented. Bya reference
to our Marine head, it will be seen that num-
Der of vessels came up yesterday, many ofthem
injured by the recent storm.
Emigrants. We mentioned yesterday the ar
