The very afternoon on which he ar- rived at C. within half a mile of his betrothed Isabella, an carly acquaint- ance of his youth, who had been set- tled in that remote quarter of the world, as it was then called, nearly twenty years, and who had accumu- lated a princely fortune by his own persevering industry, accidentally saw him alight at the hotel. No argument would prevail, and he was unconscious- ly carried in his friend's carriage to his beautiful mansion, skirted by a grove of orange trees, ere he could send his card to the lovely Isabella, who ex- pected his arrival would be as punctu- al as his correspondence. Love, of the purest character, always looks with confidence, and this led the fair Isa- bella for the first time, to wonder why Charles could be so forgetful of his promise.
At the hour of six, she cast a gloomy

eye towards the road which Charles should have come, but she could only weep for a disappointment she could not control.
Mr. P. was scarcely seated in the parlour of the hospitable friend, ere the house was attacked by a lawless band of runaway negroes, who carri- ed slaughter and death wherever they moved. The destruction of the whites was the great object of their midnight prowlings, while the booty which they acquired from the pillage of the wealthy, only increased their thirst for human blood, and added to their stock of the implements of death.
The alarm was accompanied by a general shriek, which resounded through the whole house, and the butchery among the servants of the kitchen, instantaneously roused the guests to a scene of their truly for- lorn condition.
There was not a single individual who possessed a weapon, except the gentleman who owned the premises, who caught his fowling piece, while the company simultaneously sought for safety by flying from the apartments Mr. P. in pursuit of the assailants, who fired several balls into the very room where he was sitting, leaped through a window, to the ground ; as he turned the corner of the house, his generous host unluckily supposed him one of the murderous gang who were dealing destruction to his family, and took a fatal aim, which killed him dead upon the spot. A moment after, the robbers dispersed, believing them- selves empowered by numbers, when it was discovered that he had unhappi- ly shot an ounce ball'directly thro' the heart of his accomplished friend. The confusion now can scarcely be con- ceived ; horror transfixed the whole assembly !
Mr. P. was laid out the next morn- ing in the same room from which he escaped, when he met the fatal charge. Hlis features were dignified in death, and he resembled a sleeping man, rather than a clay-cold corpse, destin- ed for an early grave.
The whole district was alarmed the
following morning, by a relation of the atrocities at the mansion. Hundreds of people came to view the melancho- ly spectacle of the youthful stranger. Among others, the lovely Isabella, who was ever alive to the disasters of others, accompanied her aged father to the seat of such barbarity. Her young heart throbbed to aching, as she drew near the stranger's remains. The napkin was removed from his once cheerful face, now pale in death -- and as she gently leaned towards the bed to shed a tear of sympathy- she saw her own dear Charles ! O ! the agony of soul ! She only breathed "'tis Charles-my own dear Charles !" and fell dead.
The Wellington Tree .- We are in- formed by a literary gentleman to whom his Majesty lately condescended to show some of his curiosities, that the King has at Windsor a royal chair, composed entirely out of the trunk of the famous elm, by which the Duke of Wellington stood at the battle of Wa- terioo. We may say of it that it would not shame any Monarch to be crowned in such a seat. The history of the tree is curious. When Mr. Children, one of the Curators of the British Museum, visited the plain of Waterloo about seven years ago, he found the tree in question marked for destruction by the proprietor of the soil, who told him that so many peo- ple came to visit it, that the produce of half an acre of land was annually lost in consequence. A bargain was soon struck, and Mr. C. became the owner of this precious piece of tim- ber, which yields in value only to the Shakspeare mulberry tree. Mr. C. we understand, has supplied the cabi- nets of several of his literary friends with choice slices from this arbor Vel- lingtoniensis .-- London paper.
The whole taxable property in the State of Ohio is returned at 58.000,000 dollars-and the real estate in the county of New York is returned at the same sum.

THE BOSTON NEWS-LETTER.
From Noah's (N. Y. ) Advocate.
Breaches of the Marriage Prom- ise .- Of late we have not had many trials for a breach of the marriage '. promise. In 1824 more false swains and fickle damsels were brought be- fore juries on these solemn occasions than at any former period, and parties began to think it high time to under- stand each other fully on subjects of such singular delicacy, in order that that there might be no mistake in the premises. To such lengths did these constructive marriage promises go that a tender look, a piercing glance. an accidental tread on the toe, an in- vite to a sleighing or quilting party, were immediately surmised into an in- tention to commence addresses, which. by implication, was to be followed up by matrimony ; and in default of which, by construction, was to resul: in damages.
In the late trial of Miss Day against Mr. Mann, in Boston, the opening counsel did not in fact show an actua! promise of marriage, but he inferred that such promise had been made from the fact that the lady " made prepar- ations for celebrating the nuptials -- purchased her wedding garments, or- naments, &c .- bought her silver and Liverpool brass and iron ware-spoke for her china, and engaged some cabi- net furniture- and in fact laid out the greater portion of a legacy of $500 left her by her father in obtaining the various articles necessary for house- keeping " It seems, however, that she had ordered the publication of th banns to be postponed for a fortnight. in order to collect her small debts, and in the mean time her faithless swain married to another, and the jury gave her $550 damages.
Cases of bold and open seduction seldom come before our courts, for the best reason we hope, that they sel- dom occur ; but we are not disposed to ridicule those who have the courage to appeal to the laws for protection against those heartless characters who sport with the feelings and fame of women ; they have no alternative but to submit or resist, and submission
may lead to a repetition of the out- rage and imposition on others. -
A large and valuable Cotton Fac- tory in Slatersville, R. I. owned by Almy, Brown, and Slaters, carrying about 5000 spindles, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday Feb. 1st, with most of its contents. Loss estimated at 50,000 dollars. The fire was com- municated through the pipe of the furnace.
The Washington Factory, in Cov- entry, R. I. was consumed on Thurs- day Feb. 2d. The fire was commu- aicated from a blacksmith's shop un- derneath the building.
In the present Government of Maine -of the Council 4 of the 10 are new Members-of the Senate, 10 of the 20 do .-- of the House, 100 of the 147 do. The State Prison of Maine, with 79 convicts, cost in 1822-$9571, and earned 9294-balance 277.
Lotteries. - The law prohibiting the sale of Lottery Tickets in Con- necticut, has been repealed, and a substitute provided by which no one can sell tickets without paying into the public treasury $100 for a license.
On Tuesday last, a sleigh was exhib- ited in State-street of a capacity suili- cient to contain twenty-five grown persons ; the seats were covered with buffalo skins, and provided with move- able backs ; it had also an elevated seat for the driver. Six elegant hors- es were attached to this vehicle.

REV. DR. BENJAMIN WADSWORTH.
. The funeral of the late Dr. WADSWORTH of Danvers was attended on the 23d ult. by a very numerous and respectable con- course of citizens of that and the adjacent towns. Dr. W. was born in Milton, in this State, on 19th July, 1750, O. S. He was remarkable from his earliest years, for ten derness of conscience and seriousness of deportment-and at about the age of 16 he entered Harvard College, to obtain a liberal education, with a view to qualify himself for the sacred office of the Gos- pel Ministry, on which his heart had for many years been placed. He graduated in 1770, and was employed in teaching a school about a year, and then took up his residence in Cambridge, in order to attend
to the study of Theology. He was soon licensed as a Preacher, by the Association of Congregational Ministers in the vicinity of Milton; and in October, 1772, was ordain- ed as Pastor of the First Church in Dan- vers, where he uninterruptedly laboured until March last, when he was seized with the disorder which terminated his long and useful life. And it is a most remarkable fact, that during this long lapse of years, he was not detained by ill health from the pulpit more than three or four Sabbaths ; and until March last, 'never had the advice of a physician.
As a scholar, Dr. W. was distinguished by the sprightliness of bis imagination. and the parity and ease of his style. As a preacher, of the Gospel, he was plain and practical in his discourses, and was strongly opposed to controversy. Although a firm believer in the great doctrines which have been generally embraced by the New- England churches from their earliest days, no. man was ever more free from the charge of bigotry and censoriousness. He was emphatically a peace-maker ; and his great aim was to impress the hearts and con- sciences of his hearers with those great truths which are so clearly revealed in the Scriptures. He was indeed a " son of con- solation." ---

SONG OF MANANA,
Queen of Tammany, the celebrated Indian Chief, extracted from a manuscript Opera, in three acts,
AT early dawn, to rouse the chace,
Or active join the flying race ;
To climb the mountain's awful brow, Or swim the rapid stream below;
Beneath the wave to dive for shell,
To deck my mossy couch or ceil ; All these are sweet, but not to me So sweet, as is my Tammany.
At eve to lure the finny prey,
As through their coral groves they stray ; Or, on their oozy beds supine, They in the radiant sunbeams shine ;
Beneath the moon's pale light to rove
The aloed wood or palmy grove ; These, these are sweet ; but not to me So sweet as my dear Tammany.
Georgia Wedding .-- It appears from the Darien paper that a Mr. John Odena lately invited his friends to his wedding, and a ball which he gave in honor of the event. The company as- sembled, the magistrate and fiddlers were present, as well as the bride and bridegroom. The bride being solici- ted to receive the ring, she perempto- rily refused, observing that she had changed her mind. The company thinking the bride had only been seiz- ed with a momentary whim, ordered the musicians to strike up, "haste to
the wedding," when she and John Odena immediately began dancing, and all the company joined in. The bride, after the dance, still continued to refuse her hand to John Odena, and the lady hostess of the house, fearful, perhaps, that some unpleasant dis- putes might arise, entered the room with a club, and drove the whole company out into the street .-- Ball.Am.
HOPE.
From the celebrated Dr. Spurzheim's Lectures on Phrenology.
Is there any thing in man which may be styled hope ? It is a feeling necessary in every situation ; what would a man do without hope ? Are we not sometimes infinitely more happy whilst hoping for a thing than after its enjoyment ? Is it not necessary to pos- sess this feeling ? Philosophers and others have spoken of many impulses to action as desires, but there is some- thing in man not to be confounded with desire. Each power in itself de- sires, but we have not hope in propor- tion to what we desire. There are some who have this feeling in the highest degree, even sometimes to become deranged ; others who have not quite so much of it, but are con- tinually scheming-building castles in the air ; they form plans and imme- diately think they must be realised ; they think and immediately begin to act, without reasoning-without caution ; this is the abuse of the ap- plication of this fundamental power,

THE BOSTON NEWS-LETTER,
There are others who so easily des- pair that they never hope : if they undertake a thing they scarcely ever hope to succeed. You may discover the organization in a most positive way ; look at both sides of veneration and you will easily perceive a great difference in the developement of indi- viduals. You will see that this cele. brated part is variously developed in different individuals, very large in some, very small in others. Some have the middle part very much de- veloped and the lateral parts depres- sed ; and the lateral parts will be strongly developed in others. (Seve- ral casts were shown, in which great differences of these organizations were evident.) You see here a great devel- opement of cautiousness, but not much of hope ; looking at such an individ- ual I should say, that he fears more than he hopes. Some individuals are very fearful, scarcely ever hope to succeed. 'There are some persons who make various projects, various plans, and then give them up ; they do not consider thein beforehand, and in such persons you may always ex- pect to find a large developement of hope ; there are others again who un- dertake very little. If I see an indi- vidual with a large developement of hope, and if I see also acquisitiveness large, I know he will undertake things from selfishness, and so of the other powers, being combined we may trace somewhat of the application of the primitive feeling, but this is not our object now.
This feeling in common life is very important ; it is essentially the pa- rent of the religious sentiments : it is this power which disposes man to hope for future life, that gives him a "longing after immortality ;" we are so often deceived in this life that we hope for something better in another. There is a natural feeling in man to hope for things, and Christ himself taught man to hope for something bet- ter in a future state. In conversing with persons of religious habits, you will find some who hope much, others fear very much, and you will be sure
to find this cerebral part large in the former persons.
ROBERT S. COFFIN, the Boston Bard, is now in Yorktown, Westchest- er county, N. Y. suffering the pains of a lingering consumption, and, like Ot- way, starving amidst plenty ; not hav- ing the common necessaries of life. A few dollars, sent by the friends of American talents, to Coffin, would cheer him ; and afford comparative comfort during the last sad days of de- cliniog life. We hope the benevolent people of Boston, whose bard he is, will improve this opportunity to assist a meritorious sufferer .-- Statesman.
Another Cotton Factory burnt .-- On Wednesday evening last the cotton factory owned by Mr. Daniel Reed, situated near Attleborough City, was destroyed by fire. The factory had just been filled with machinery and put into operation .- Prov. Pat.
Rev. Dr. Beecher, of Litchfield, Connecticut, it is stated in the New York Observer, has received and ac- cepted a call to become Pastor of the New Society in Hanover street, in this city.
From the New-York Gazette, May 21, 1750. ""THIS is to acquaint the publick, that there is lately arrived from London, the Wonder of the World, an honest Barber and Peruke-Maker, who might have work'd for the King, if his majesty would have employed him : It was not for the want of mon- ey that he came here, for he had enough of that at home ; nor for the want of business that he advertises himself, BUT to acquaint the Gentle- men and Ladies, that such a person is now in town, living near Rosemary Lane, where gentlemen and ladies may be supplied with the goods fol- lowing, viz. T'yes, Cuts and Bob Pe- rukes : Also, ladies Tatematongues and Towers, after the manner that is now wore at Court.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
MARINE TELEGRAPHIC SHIPPING LIST.
The imnense quantity of shipping which this great Commercial Country possesses, the communication maintained throughout its vast extent of Sea-board, and its con- stant and growing connexion with the whole mercantile world, have developed new rela- tions, as well among ourselves as with for- eign countries, and given an interest beyond all precedent to every means of facilitating this intercourse.
A Publication exclusively devoted to Marine Intelligence sems likely to be of peculiar service at the present day. It is superfluous to detail minutely the advan- tages expected to result from a semi-week- ly Publication like the one now proposed. Its utility is obvious to every person engag- ed in commercial pursuits. The leading objects of the Shipping List will be to fur- nish a semi-weekly record of foreign and domestic arrivals and departures, in all the Seaports throughout the Union, embracing in a particular manner the arrival and de- parture of American vessels in foreign ports -- vessels left-spoken, and destination -advertisements of vessels for sale, freight, or charter-vessels up for foreign or domes- tic ports-sailing of regular packets -- let- ter-bag notices, together with every species of Shipping Memoranda interesting to the Commercial or Mercantile Community.
This Shipping List will be commenced on the first of March next, and published on Wednesdays and Saturdays, upon a large half sheet, similar to Lloyd's List, London, at $3 per annum, or $2 semi-an- nually in advance, by
JOHN R. PARKER, Conductor of the Marine Telegraph. JOSIAH B. CLOUGH, Printer, next door to the Custom House. Boston, Feb. 15, 1826.
REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.
The large and valuable lot of Land situ- ated on the south east side of Pitts street, adjoining the site to be occupied by the eew Congregational Society, and contain- ing about 20,000 feet. It may be divided into 12 or 15 convenient lots for dwelling houses, with ample front and requisite yard room for wood house and other convenien- ces. It will be sold in portions to accom. modate purchasers desirous to build, or to a single purchaser on favourable terms. The short distance from the centre of busi- ness and their retired position from the main streets, reuders these estates very eli- gible both for the man of business and of leisure.
