THE BOSTON NEWS-LETTER,
DEATH OF MR. GAILLARD.
Mr. Gaillard took his seat in the Senate, in the U. S. Congress, on the 31st of January, 1805 ; and it is, per- haps, the highest tribute we could possibly pay to his memory, to state that he was four times successively re- elected to this high trust, and retained, to his last hour, the confidence of his fellow citizens. In 1810, (when he had been but five years a member,) Mr. Gaillard was elected President pro tempore of the Senate, to which office he was nine times most honour- ably chosen ; having, for a period of fourteen years, presided over the de- liberations of this assembly.
SUMMARY.
Mr. Shepherd, a private, lecturer on Mineralogy, in Howard Street, is be- coming popular. His collection of minerals, arranged in beautiful order, is an excellent treat to one who is even ignorant of the science.
Mrs. A. M. Wells, of Boston, is one of the four successful candidates who obtained prizes offered by the ed- itor of the New York Mirror. The prize awarded to this lady was $20, for the second best poem.
Union of Towns .- The act'uniting the towns of Dighton and Welling- ton, has received the signature of the Governor, and its operation commenced on the first of March. Hereafter, therefore, the territory com- prised in these towns will be known by the name of Dighton.
A convict of the State prison has been pardoned by Gov. Lincoln, on condition of his leaving the United States, forthwith, and does not return under five years.
A paper published at New Harmo- ny, Mr. Owen's establishment, edited by a French gentleman, speaks well for itself. Why don't it say more about the internal machinery of their new settlement ?
the charitably disposed public attended the lecture service on Wednesday evening, March 1st. as to make up by contribution, the sum of forty-one dol- lars for the relief of the " Boston Bard."
The unsold surveyed land owned by the U. States, exceed twenty-five millions of acres, of which over four- teen millions lie in the states of Illi- nois and Missouri.
The whole public debt of the Unit- ed States scarcely exceeds one half of the annual interest on the funded and unfunded debt of Great Britain !
The tax upon this city for schools the last year, exclusive of $23,000 for the purchase of land, and for the erection of a new school house, was rising of 60,000 dollars, an expense which is most cheerfully incurred, and received back by our citizens, collec- tively and individully, with ten-fold advantages, into every department of life.
Fourth of March .- The Boston Ar- tillery Company paraded on Saturday last, in honour of the political birth- day of our General Government, and fired salutes on the Common at Sun- rise, noon and sunset.
Military .- From the Adjutant Gen- eral's returns, it appears that the mi- litia of the state of New-York, includ- ing artillery, cavalry, and riflemen, amount to 150,000.
VA Steam Boat has been drawn on the Marine Railway, at New York, by the power of one horse applied to the Machinery .- In a few days a ship of 500 tons is to be drawn on it.
Schools in Maine .- By a statement of the returns made to the Secretary of State, published in the Portland Patriot, we learn that there are in the State of Maine, 2419 school districts, 135.344 children between 4 and 21 years, 97,237 of whom usually attend school. Amount expended for schools, $135,000, of which sum there is rais-
Notwithstanding the very unfavour- able state of the weather, so many of li ed from funds, $4,932 66 .- Sal. Gat.

AND CITY RECORD, MARCH 18, 1826.
FREE BRIDGE.
The much wanted and long sought for Free Bridge, from Wheeler's point to South Boston, has at last been au . "thorised by the following Act of the Legislature. In 1806, less than two years after the erection of the present bridge, an attempt was made for an- other, at the same place. Many oth- er abortive exertions have been made, since that period, strongly opposed, as a matter of course, till the present ses- sion of the General Court.
The Committee, to whom was refer- red the subject, gave this reason for re- porting in favour of the bill; " that if the public good or public interest re- quired that the proposed bridge should be constructed, then the prayer of the petition should be granted ; that in- demnification should be made for pro- perty taken for the use of the bridge, but to no greater extent ; that the nav- igable waters being public property the legislature had the right to control the use of them, The committee therefore considered the only question arising was, whether the public exi- gency required this bridge. It ap- peared that about 100,000 people, if this bridge were erected, would be saved a travel of one mile by coming from the south shore over this bridge, instead of over the Neck; that an in- creasing intercourse would take place between the centre of business in the city and South Boston, and the dis- tance be lessened half a mile, which in a dense population was equal to ten or twenty miles in the country. The only objections to this bridge arose from persons in Roxbury, at the South End of Boston, and from a part of the proprietors of the present bridge ; that it did not appear that any others would be injured, and that these persons would not be injured to the extent they imagined. It was admitted that the navigation might be made a little in- convenient, but not so much so as was expected. It appeared that the pres- ent channel might, by individual right, be narrowed to three hundred feet, which would increase the current more than the proposed bridge ; that
the present current was about one mile the hour, while that at Charles- town Bridge was three miles ; that the increase to the price of wood if the bridge were erected would be only six cents the cord ; and that with one or two exceptions all the bridges in the state had been granted without any indemnity for consequential dam- ages, other than compensation for pro- perty converted to the use of such bridge. The committee came to the conclusion that no person o ight to claim damages for an interruption of navigable waters; that these waters were held by the legislature in trust for all the citizens. and that no indi- vidual had the right to be secured in- demnity for damages arising there- from, when the public accommodation required such interruption."
AN ACT ESTABLISHING A FREE BRIDGE IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.
SEC. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives, in Gen- era! Cour! assembled, and by the au- thority of the same, that Nathaniel Whittemore, Noah Brooks, Cyrus Al- ger, William Wright, Adam Bent, David Henshaw, Jonathan Hurewell, Francis J. Oliver, Samuel K. Williams, and Hall J. How, and their associates, successors and assigns, be, and they hereby are constituted a Corporation, by the name of the Boston Free Bridge Corporation, with all the pow- ers and privileges, and subject to the restrictions usually incident to such Corporations in this Commonwealth.
SEc. 2. Be it further enacted, that said Corporation be, and they hereby are, authorised and empowered to build and construct, or cause to be built and constructed, a frec bridge, with one or more suitable and sufficient draws across the water, and over the channel in or near a direction in a strait line from or near Sea-street, in Boston, to the newly made land at South Boston, and nearly in the direc- tion of the Dorchester turnpike, and to erect a wharf or pier on each side of said bridge, near said draws, for the accommodation of vessels passing through said bridge ; such bridge and

wharves to be built in such manner as the City Government of Boston shall approve, Provided, however, that said Corporation shall be helden to make compensation to any person or Corpo- ration whose land shall be appropriat ed to the use of said bridge.
Szc. 3. Be it further enacted, that no toll or duty shall ever be exacted or paid for any travel over said bridge, or passing the draws of the same ; and said Corporation shall always be held liable to keep said bridge and draws in good repair, and to raise the draw of said bridge and afford all necessary and proper accommodation to vessels that have occasion to pass the same by night or by day, and shall keep said bridge sufficiently lighted ; and if any vessel is unreasonably delayed or hin- dered in passing said draw, by the neg- ligence of said Corporation, or their agent, in discharging the duties enjoin- ed on them by this act, the owners or commanders of such vessels shall re- cover reasonable damage therefor of said Corporation, in an action on the case before any Court proper to try the same ; and if the said Corporation shall not, within three years from the passing of this act, locate, construct, build, and complete said bridge, agree- ably to the provisions of this act, then this act shall be null and void Pro- vided, that whenever the City Govern- ment of Boston shall assume the care and obligations of keeping said bridge in repair, lighting the same, and pro- viding facilities for raising said draw or draws as aforesaid, then the obligations hereby imposed on said corporation to that effect, shall be annulled, and the same shall devolve on the said City Government, in which case, the dam- ages mentioned in this section, shall be sued for, before any court proper to try the same, in either of the counties of Middlesex or Essex. But unless the City Government shall assume the care and obligations aforesaid. the said Cor- poration, before commencing the build- ing of said bridge, shall furnish ade- quate security, to the satisfaction of the said City Government, for the due performance of the obligations
and duties imposed on said Corpora- ration by the provisions of this act.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, that any person or corporation whose lands may be taken for the purpose and in the manner mentioned in the second section of this act may apply, if within one year from the time any such dam- age may have happened, to the Court of Common Pleas in the, county of Suffolk. for a committee to be appoint- ed to estimate the damage ; and upon such application the Court after thirty days notice to said Corporation, to ap- pear and show cause why such com- mittee should not be appointed, shall, if no good cause be shown to the con- trary, appoint three or. five disinterest- ed freeholders within the county, at the expense of said Corporation, which committee, being first duly sworn before some justice of the Peace to be nomi- nated by said Court, and giving due notice to both parties to appear (if they see fit) for a hearing before them, shall proceed to the duties of their ap- pointment ; and they shall first inquire whether any damage has been sustain- ed from the causes aforesaid, and if any, shall estimate the same and shall make return of their doings as soon as may be into said Court, and upon ac- ceptance of said report, judgment may be given thereon, with reasonable costs to the parties prevailing. Provided, however, that either party, after the return of said report, may claim a trial by jury, and the Court thereupon shall stay judgment on said report, and a tri- al shall be had by jury at the bar of said court, and if the party applying for a jury shall not obtain (in case it be the original applicant) an increase of damages, or in case it be the original respondent, a decrease of the damages awarded by the Committee, such par- ty shall pay reasonable costs of such trial by jury, otherwise shall recover reasonable costs, and upon any judg- ment rendered upon the report of such Committee or the verdict of such jury, the Court may issue execution accord- ingly, and the same when it shall be against said Corporation, unless satisfi- ed and paid within thirty days from
