Unprecedented Despatch Steam Boat Lexing- tion necessary to keep above water. In a short time,

Capt Jacob VanuBrbilt, left the steam boat wharf - w i a

East river, tor rromaence on juonuay morning- ax eleven minutes past nine o'clock, and arrived in Providence at forty-seven minutes after nine o'clock the same evening having been detained eight minutes, and performing the distance (two hundred and ten miles) in the unprecedented short time of twelve hours and twenty-eight minutes!! The Lexington is 208 feet long, 22 feet beam, and Hi feet hold, with guards 11 feet wide. She was built bv Messrs. Bishop & Simonson for and

under the superintendence of Capt. Cornelius Vanderbilt, whose reputation for fast boats is so well established in this community; and the great object in view by her enterprising owner, wa3 to test the feasibility of establishing, in connexion with the Boston and Providence Rail Road, a line between this city and Boston, which should perform the entire distance (251 miles) by day light. Her engine is from the. foundry of the Messrs. Kembles at West Point, of about 140 horse power, with elexenfeet stroke, making from twenty-two to twentysix revolutions a minute her cylinder is forty-eight inches in diameter and her wheels twenty -four feet, with ten feet space and a dip of thirty inches. The great and laudable object of her owner, and the anxiety which the public very naturally felt in the

success of his experiment, attracted unusual atten-

Rallvin2r his strength, with an effort, he rose

again with his fair charge, and not only sustained her long enough for to breathe afresh, but with the

utmost presence of mind, made disposition to keep

afloat: but entangled with clothes, and disabled

from motion, his buoyancy soon, of course, became

exhausted, and both ajrain disappeared.

It occurred to Lieut. W. as he sunk, to endeavor

to reach the bottom, in order to obtain an impetus

for re-ascending, but the depth was found too great, there was 24 feet of water. It was probably with the last remains of strength that another exertion

enabled him to regain the surface with his fair companion. But they soon sunk again. His brother, Lieut. A. B. Walbach, of the United States army, who had been at the head of the boat when the accident occurred, on perceiving those overboard

sprang into the river, and reached the parties at this critical moment. In the act of bringing them up to the surface, the young lady insensibly placed her hand upon his head, so as effectually to keep him under water. In this position, however, he retained his presence of mind, and by swimming under water with his brother's hand upon his shoulder contrived to sustain both for a considerable time, and to them all, a most eventful space. All three, however, had become exhausted, and

had sunk a full arms length, when the captain of the

tion to the boat, her construction, accommodations, ! sch'r, having succeeded in rounding his boat to, and

and ability to sustain so powerful an engine; and we are happy to say, that in all these respects she gave as general satisfaction as she has astonished and delighted the public by her unprecedented performance in her first trip from this city to Providence and return last evening in eleven hours and fifty-nine minutes. We were of the party who accompanied her on this novel and interesting expedition; and although the Boston and Providence Rail Road is not yet opened which event will shorten the time of travelling between those cities two hours we yesterday breakfasted at Boston, left there at two A. V. and arrived in this city off Dry Dock, in eleven hours and ffly-nine minutes from Providence performing the entire distance in less than sixteen hours, and bringing with us the Boston daily papers of yesterday morning for the benefit of our readers and those of our contemporaries! On the importance of this truly astonishing increase of speed in our Steam Boat navigation, we have neither time nor disposition to comment. Every reader who feels an interest in the triumph of genius which has already nearly annihilated space and who is desirous of seeing the bonds of our national Union cemented and strengthened, can easily imagine the great benefits resulting from this successful experiment, and will exult with us in the cheering prospects which naturally present themselves on reflecting upon this subject. The Boston and Providence Rail Road Company will always perform the distance between those cities in two hours, and it is equally certain that, except in extraordinary cases, the distance between this city and Providence will be performed by steam in ttalve hours thus reducing the time of our coming the distance between New York and Boston (250 mites;) to fourteen hours! Other sections of the ccuatry will be equally benefitted by this improvement in steam navigation by Capt. Vanderbilt, and his name will in future be classed with those of Fulton and Stevens, to the latter of whom we owe nearly all the improvements which have been effected in the steam engine since the claath of that great man to whom the world is indebted for the most important discovery which has ever been made, except the art of printing.

A Louisiana paper states; that four southern and western breth- , ren have lately subjected this celebrated code to a revisal, and so changed some of its important provisions as to add materially to its practical efficiency. Instead of lasting the body of the offender, they turn to and paint it, and in some cases of particular enormity the culprit is treated to a ride cn what is there called the "village poney,' being tliesame species of equestrian recreation which, in the more homely phraseology cf New England, is denominated riding a rail a sort ofsport in which the old Tories of 'TGare said to have manifested

a Eingular disinclination to participate. The Louisiana papers mentions two or three cases in which the new section of the Lex Lyncha had lately been enforced with salutary effect. A tailor had been caught in the act of pilfering the remnants of a neighbor's side board of good cheer, whereupon lie was sowed up and embroidered according to law; that is, he was painted face and hands', a beautiful jet black, varnished and made into as authentic a negro as could be found in the parish a

From the Mobile (Ala.) Register. The fate of Mrs. Alston, the accomplished

lady of Governor Alston, of South Carolina, and daughter of Aaron Burr, has been shrouded in mystery for more than twenty years. Occasionally, indeed, some gleams cf light have been thrown around her melancholy end, and the belief is that she fell a victim to piratical atrocity. Some three years ago it was currently reported that a man residing in one of the interior counties of tiiis State, made some disclosures on his death-bed, which went to confirm the confessions previously made by a culprit on the callows, that the vessel in which

Mrs. Alston sailed, was scuttled for the sake of

her plate and effects. The following article, which we copy from the Alabama Journal, goes to throw

some additional light on the subject. I he facts mentioned in it are new to us, and will be, probably, to most of our readers.

Confession of a Pirate. The public no doubt

remembers the story of the daughter of Aaron Burr, who was the wife of governor Alston, of South Carolina. On the return of her father from Europe, about the year lS12,she embarked from Charleston on a visit to him at New York, on board a privateer built vessel and was never heard of afterwards. It seems that her friends at first thought that the vessel had fallen into the hands of pirates, but afterwards concluded that it was wrecked and lost. It appears from the statement of a respectable merchant at Mobile, that a man died in that city recently, who confessed to his physician on his dying

bed, that he had been a pirate, and helped to

vs. Jonathan Hill. This was an action brought

by the plaintiffMiss Williams, of Hudson, N. V. to recover damages of the defendant, Mr. Hill, Postmaster of (leneva, for certain slanderous expressions alleged to have been used by the said Hill concerning the plaintiff. Miss Williams, the plaintiff, is a very handsome, genteel looking female, nbout 22 years of ago, and was a member of the Methodist Congregation at Hudson, at the time that the slander in question,

was hrst promulgated by the defendant; she was also a class teacher in the Methodist connexion; and at a later period we believe, she was employed as a governess in this city, in Dr. Badean's family. The defendant, Mr. Hill, (as above stated) is the

of the little boat on one side, and the other on the other, they contrived to steady it so that the captain could draw the lady on board without capsizing it and in that posture they were paddled to the schooner and received on board. It was no other than "the kind little, Cherub which sits smiling aloft," that turned the agonizing scene of suspence, which had lasted for nearly half an hour, and in which the father, mother, and sisters of the family, all participated, to one of mutual and heart-felt gratulations, in which, as we write the account, we most cordially associate.

We learn by an officer in the ship Ann McKim, arrived at this port on Wednesday last from Valparaiso, that a few days previous to her sailing, an American vessel arrived there from the Island of Juan Fernandez, bringing information of an Earthquake having destroyed the town on that Island. The town was situated in a valley, and on the first alarm the inhabitants fled to the mountains. The sea at first receded from the Island and then returned, overflowed the town, and in its return swept away the houses which had been previously prostrated, leaving on the site an immense mass of black mud. Baltimore Chronicle.

Outrageous Assault. Mr. William P. Attree, who for some weeks has been attached to this Oifice in the character of one of our lleportcrs, was on Saturday afternoon the victim cf a most coward

ly and wanton attack, by which his life is at this i

moment placed in the greatest danger. The following are the particulars as they have been communicated to us: Mr. Attree crossed the river between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by a young lady, and after stopping a short time on the banks in front of the Hoboken House, walked to the "cave" cut in the rock on the bank of the river, about three-quarters of a mile above the ferry. He entered the cave, as is the custom of visiters, with his female companion, and when some six or eight feet from the entrance, was felled to the ground by a heavy blow, inflicted by some person who had cither stealthily entered the cave behind them, or was concealed behind one of the pillars before they entered, and who had not been seen by either. As soon as Mr. Attree fell, the lady shrieked and darted out of the cave where the ruffian continued beating the

prostrate man, by jumping on his head, kicking him

New York. He declared, savs this gentleman,

that after the' men were all killed, there was an unwillingness on the part of every pirate to take the life of Mrs. Alston, who had not resisted them, or fought them, and therefore they drew lots which should perform the deed, as it had to he done. The lot fell on this pirate, who declares that he effected his object of putting the lady to death, by laying a plank along the edge of the ship, half on it and half off or over the edge, and made Mrs. Alston walk on that plank till it tilted over into the water with her. The d) ing pirate requested his physician to make this story public, but his surviving family will not permit or consent that the name of the deceased should be known. The above tale was repeated over and over by the merchant before mentioned, in the presence of a number of gentlemen, whose names can be given. He said he received it from the physician himself, with no other injunction or secrecy than that he should not disclose the name of the physician for the present. On being csked if tha physician was a man of veracity and respectability, ho replied there was no one more so in Mobile. The merchant was warned that his stoiy would get in to the newspapers, to which he made no objection. Prom the Ohio Parmer.

the existence of the code in the older southern States. We have seen several examples of most whimsical severity in its enforcement. Whenever one of those incorrigible vagabonds upon whom all gentler admonition is lost, gets drunk enough to lie down publicly in the street, it is decided at once that he must be painted, and painted sure enough lie is. Upon one occasion, a blackguard cf more than common profligacy,. was taken nearly naked, from his lair in the street, carried to the village

to procure him. We arc happy to learn that even those, with whom we are told Mr. Attree had some unpleasant altercations previous to his employ in this office, were most forward in giving him assistance, and endeavoring to bring the perpetrators to

justice. He was last night almost speechless and senseless, his face and head so mutilated and disfigured, that it was hardly possible to recognize him. In the evening a man ofthe name of Spencer was arrested on the charge of being accessary to the attack, and held to bail by Mr. Justice l'aradise, of Jersey City, in the sum of five hundred dollars to answer the charge at the next court of Oyer and Terminer for Bergen county, which opens at Hackensack to-morrow.

The Annapolis Republican of Saturday has the fol

lowing additional particulars of the interesting incident which occurred in the harbour of that city last week: A party of pleasure, including the family of Col. Walbach, Commandant of Fort Severn embarked on

Monday last, and after spending a delightful day upon the water, rambling over the beautiful green

banks ofthe Severn, and partaking of a repaat upon

the shores ot the Bound Bay, the schooner was returning with the party in the evening, when a sudden flaw of wind struck her the main boom jibed, and carried one of the young ladies overboard. Quick as thought Lieut. J. J. B. Walbach, ofthe U. S. Navy, plunged into the river to save her. The spring by .which he designed to throw himself as near as pos- " sible to her, owing to a sudden careen of the vessel, was the means of Dlunrin' him to a frreat death.

vv nen he rose, the object of his anxiety was no longer to be seen. Nearing the spot, however, she was discerned sinking below the waves. On being . brought up, she very naturally clung to the only object within reach, for safety, but unfortunately in such a manner as to deprive him ofthe power of rao-

which stated that he had stabbed a man ofthe name

of Blake, 'with the intent to kill and murder said Blake," and which circumstance was reported by Mr. Attree to this paper in discharge of his duty. There are, however, others concerned, who date their grievances against Mr. Attree from a much earlier period, before he entered our employ, and whom, we flatter ourselves, the arm of justice will

still reach.

We do not deem it proper in the present stage of this affair, to say more to-day, except and to those who know us, this much is perhaps unnecessary that no expense or exertion shall be spared, to bring the perpetrators of the outrage perhaps the murderers to condign punishment. We owe this to society, we owe it to ourselves, for it is most assuredly incumbent on us and it is a duty from which we

shall never shrink to protect those in our employ while in the proper exercise of their duties. The law, we trust, will punish the actual perpetrators the press will expose the instigaters. JV. Y. Enquirer.

Negro Outrage. The Hartford Times says that an outrage was committed on the person of a white

female a few days since, in the vicinity of that city, by three negroes. The offence was committed at

raid-day, and the female was accompanied by

without annihilating that number of black miscreants? The rascals j we are glad to perceive, were
