get insured, wrote to a broker with
whom he had spoken on the subject as
follows:
Dear Hiend.-If thee has not filled
up the policy which | bespoke on Satur-
day. thee need not, as have heard from
the vessel.
The broker in fact had not filled up
the policy, but presumng from the te-
nor of Jacobs note, that his vessel was
safe, and tempted by what seemed
good chance TO clutch his per ccntage
without risk, he filled it tup forthwith and
sent it to Jacob with the assurance that
it had been made already for him on
Saturday. On Monday morning the
first thing that met his eye on opening
his newspaper, was the loss Of Jacobs
vessel. which he had so wickedly insur-
ed on Sunday. Then also he discover

lowing paragraph, copied from the Bos-

the last Missionary Herald the whole
State of Rhode Island appears to have
contributed for the Spread of the Cos
pei in foreign parts, the sum Of one dol
lar That State is laying up for itself
treasure in heaven.
If the Episcopalians form any part OF
" the whole State of Rhode Island, the
above statement is not true.
Upon referring to the last" annual re-
port of the esprit of Missions, this
State appears to have contributed for
tho spread of the Gospel in foreign parts,
the sum of two thousand two hundred
and nine dollars And since the date OF
that report, June 18th, 1850, the sum OF
five hundred and ninety six dollars has
been contributed for the same good pur-

EXAMINATION OF DABoLL's Foo
WHIsTLE.-Being in New York, few
- days since, we were invited by the in
ventor TO witness some experiments
showing the practical operation of this
machine. The result was to satisfy us
that i; must prove of eminent service as
affordiDg extra protection to life and
property at sea. 1t can be worked by
one man, or two men, and even for one,
we do not conceive that ii is objection
able, on account of the labor necessary
TO be performed TO keep it charged for
two minutes work, every ten or twelve
minutes, by one man, will keep the ma
chine charged SO as TO blow two or three
signals every three minutes.
We are fully convinced, from the OBJ
scrvations we have made, us well as by
the remarks of many commercial men,
and eminent navigators, who have taken
. occasion TO investigate the subject, that
the air-whistle must be of great service
during iogs, &c, if employed on board
of Light Ships, and at some dangerous
, points on the coast, where it is ncccssa-
ry for the same TO be seen to be passed
in safety. We understand by the nven-
tor that the Collec or and Inspector of
Lights at New York have examined the
machine and reported favorably upon it,
in company with several nautical men
whose opinions are worthy oimuch con-
sideration. Among them, not the least
in importance, is George w. Blunt,
Esq. This gentleman is practically II
scientific man, and very many are the
citizens and sailors who will thank this
gentleman for his efforts 10 throw pro-
lection around their lives and property,
ut sea, in hundred ways which his
good judgment has dictated.
AT proper time, in connexion with
this subject, we intend to speak more
fully of the Light Ship system general
iy, as now managed by the government,
T and refer to some particulars concerning
its management which require correc-
ton.

BRENToN's REEr.-This isa danger
Gus reat on the coast of Rhode Island,
some miles casterly from Beaver Tail
Light and North East from point Ju-
dith.
There is, probably, no part ofthc coast
from Newport eastward where a Light
ship would be of more service to naviga-
ton than at this Reef; and we are glad
TO see some of our Citizens waking from
their long lathargic sleep, with reference C
to the importance of the subject, and be-
stirring themselves in way that must
ultimately result in securing to our coast
the object desired. A petition will, we
understand, be presented to the next
Congress, asking an appropriation for a
Light ship at the place referred to, with
two lights, and otherwise properly provi-
ded to assure the necessary protection to
navigation We shall take occasion to
refer to this matter again, in future num-
bers of our paper (; but, in the mean
time, we would suggest to our Comme.-
cial friends to be sure they are not found
sleeping on their oars, until they have
finally succeeded in accomplishing their
object.

No TIME FOR SWAPPING HoRsEs.--An
