was about to be handed round to the respec

address to the congregation:
"From the sympathy have witnessed in
your countenances, and the strict attention
you have honored me with, there is only one
thing am afraid of: that some of you may
feel Inclined to gtre too much now it is my
duty to inform you, that justice, though not SO
pleasant should always be a prior virtue to
generosity; therefore, as you will all be imme-

From the Alexandria Journal.
The steamer Thomas Collyer, q few days

ed from her proper course caused by the prox-
unity of another vessel, and was forced against
the bulkhead, which struck aft of the wheel,

There has been q change in the time table

that 1t is so should have some weight here,
where no military operations are going on in
