Centennial Celebration.

Of the Remuneration and re-admission of
the five (now Sky Eastern Towns OF
this State originally claimed by the
Colonies Of Massachusetts and Ply

We copy from the Warren Star Of
Saturday last, the proceedings of the
Trustees Of the Rhode-Island Historical
Society, on the 18th Of January last,
Recommending celebration of the Cen.
tennial Anniversary Of the remuneration
of those towns, to be held at Tiverton

versant with our early history, that the
territory now divided into the township,
of Little Compton, Tiverton, Bristol
Warren, Darlington and Cumberland
was originally claimed, and for the mos
part occupied, by the colonies of Plymouth
and Massachusetts, in opposition tc
the claim Of Rhode-Island and that il
was not until the decree of the King ir
Council on the 2Sth Of May, TAG, (olt
STYLE that it was finally adjudged and
determined, that the said territory fell
within the rightful limits of this (then,
Colony.
The report Of the Commissioners ap.
pointed to mark out the boundary Of the
territory thus acquired was accepted by
the General Assembly at its session in
Providence, January 6, l746, (old style
equivalent to January 6, I747 y and the
act for Incorporating the inhabitants in.

IR Ell A N d.

In no former period Of history has this
part Of the United Kingdom exhibited
such miserable and alarming aspect as
al the present time. Starvation of the
most dire description stalks throughout
the length and breadth Of its PROVINCES
disease and death are hurrying their VIC
Tins from off the stage Of time, and mil
lions Of brave but misguided people
know not how and where to brave the
awful misery which haun.s their noon.
day walks and midnight visions. So
great and unparalleled is the amount OF
destitution now prevailing that the efforts
Of government to abridge and mitgat tie
the sufferings Of the distressed prove un-
equal TO the emergency. Private be-
me- olence starts back at the horrifying
picture Of misery which daily demands
relief In fact, in many instances, the
Irish cabins are little better than char.
mel houses, where the dead, uncared for,
unburied, lie fostering by the side Of the
dying. Day after day, are the details
Of wretchedness and suffering laid be-
fore the public through the medium Of
the Irish journals. Liverpool has prac-
teal proof Of these statements. Her
charitable finances have been swallowed
up Of late in awarding temporary relief
to the innumerable number Of Irish pau
pors who frequent the port. The accounts
which have reached us since the sailing
of the las! packet, slate that the laborers
in the neighborhood Of Bantry are moved
down by famine, and those who are yet
able TO brave starvation, look gloomiIy
forward to the day, not far distant, as
they believe, when they will be found
either on "felds or on mountains, without
the consolations of clergy or the comfort
Of Friends. "---.N Y. Tribune.

For thy dear sake, will walk patiently

A noble ,ask-time, and will therein strive
To follow excellence, and to o'ertake

NEW ERA IN STEAM NAVIGATION.
In Wednesday nights Union is long and
able scientific Report from Board OF profession.
al Engineers and others, appointed by the Secre-
tary Of The Treasury to test an important i'm
provement which has been introduced into The
Revenue Service by MIR. Walker, Of whom his
admiring friends say, mil ktgI qnod non oTn0pn.
The Report shows that The experiment has
been triumphanlIy conclusive; and fthe accounts
we hear are to be relied on, the improvement
will establish the reputation OF Capt. John Erics-
son as one of The great berefacors OF mankind,
and may confirm the impression already ex'en-
svely prevalent, that he is The fret mechanical
genius OF the age.
There appears to be an apparatus called an
Eraporator, and another, Condenser, convent
emily arranged amidst the machinery, so as to
occupy very little space. BY this, the steam, af-
ter performing its work, is converted into WATER
and forced back into the boiler-again and again
taking the same routine. As some OF The sleam
will always be los. by loose joints, the Evapora-
tor supplies the deficiency from the element in
which the vessel floats, and from this increased
supply OF steam The Condenser affords any de-
sired amount of fresh waller The whole is said
to be complete and perfect. and The following re-
suits attained:
1. A steamer may 60 10 sea, and complete her
voyage, Without ever having one particle of salt
water In her boiler if she will bsg,n it with fresh
waller.
Q. She need mol carry any tanks of fresh wafer,
but can make it from The sea al will; thus sa-
wing the space for fuel.
3. Besides The supply Tor The boiler and cult
nary purposes, enough fresh water can be made
to allow each sailor bath every day, the supply
may be so ample.
4. The fires need never be ex,inguished to re.
leve The boilers of salt or mud, as neither salt
nor mud will ever get in, thus saving fuel.
5. The boiler will require little or no watching;
being once arranged, The machinery will do the
rest, and keep up The exact supply Of pure water.
6. A boiler at sea, especially in the Gulf Of
Mexico, will last Two or three times as long as a.
