The Tailors called a council f the lnH.rd to determine what rnra- . should be tufa-n. and looking upon the Bakers as ibe flmir of chivalry, concluded to adopl them as a palti m, and follow stiit. The consequence of which
was, that an insurrection w as lighted up among the Candle-makers, which, hovcv( r rwV.-cd it inisrht have appear-

The people of London arc very busy on the subject of aiding Pailiamee.t in reforming the municipal abuses of the c ompanies and corporation of that city. The corporation seems rather disposed to shrink from the inquiring commission appointed by Parliament. The rottenness and corruption of the old chartered monopolies require purification.
ANOTHER SUICIDE. A Coroner's jury w as called this morning at 10 o'clock, to sit over the body of Mr. Robert Burleigh, who committed suicide at the Fulton House, this morning. Mr. Burleigh was a young man, .23 years ofage, formerly of Sanborton, N. II. of rcspctable connexions, and w as engaged in mariage to a young lady o this city. 1 le has been bar keeper at the Fulton House till within a few weeks past. He recently recovered from a fever, which left him in low spirits, and has frequently been heard to say that he wished himself dead and meant to kill himself. He was a voung man
of good general character, and addict

Saturday, .Ian. IS, lSJSI. We have said it is the considerate, discreet, free and uncommitted part of every community that preserves it from dissolution and ruin, and insures the
happiness of its members; while the
pre judices of party are ever tending to J disunite- and destroy then:. With full confidence w e now repeat what we have
said, and cnallenge the woild to show that tiie position is false. And these prejudices have already arrived at so high a degree of dangerous indiscretion, that w e could not consistently with
our callings pass them over in silence,
and be found slumbering at our posts while the enemy was at hand. But we have not yet done other duties remain to be discharged, of which we mean to acquit ourselves before we leave the subject. You w ell know, fellow citizens, that the freedom of the press has ever been held by the friends of liberty to be an indispensable requisite to its existence; and that to trammel the former were but to hang the latter and sweep the inestimable priviledges it confers from the fair face of the earth. With this sentiment we most cordially agree, and would do all in our power to preserve unshackled an engine so powerful in wielding the destinies of the nation. But while we would never consent to curtail public sentiment as (lowing through the press, we should be happy in seeing the latter more tenacious ol truth, and more zealous in preserving its primeval purity and usefulness that it may pass down with unsullied renown into llic hands of those w ho are to succeed us in the great field of human action. We say its primeval purity and usefulness. For, surely, the discovery
of pi inting has ever been hailed w ith
joyful acclamations, as an event that
should shed a ili5tre upon all succeeding generations, and unfold the rich treasures that are in store for ma.'i, mid of w hich, it only requires (he light 01 science that he should show bountiful
ly. It has already exalted him far
above the station he was previously
doomea to till, and thrown a glorious halo around his deeds that mark him out as the highest object of heaven's care, and allection, and every day of
life brings him nearer to his God. It has called forth the proud energies of
his soul to claim the equal and natural rights of all men, and its efforts have
u ready been crowned with the golden
fruits of Liberty and Freedom. It has
carried to every door the glad tidings of the gospel, and dispelled the clouds
of superstition that must ever hang like a night-mare upon the unhappy
is of ignorance. 13y advancing the
arts it has secured much time lor re-
llection, and thereby supplied both the
opportunity and means lor high intel
lectual attainments. And what has not printing been instrumental in achie
ving? And shall it now lose all its prim
itive usefulness and be converted to the the base purposes of defamation and
slander ? Shall it now take a retrograde
march and as with a vengeance undo
what it has required the exertion oi ages to accomplish? O, no, never! Heaven forbid it, we say; but may it
still prosper and go on in the good work
it has begun until all nations shall enjoy its blessings, the unhappy circumstan
ces of life be removed or ameliorated
and this earth become a paradise below where all shall rejoice and be happy in the full fruition of the sweets of civil and domestic life "until the wilderness shall hud and blossom as the rose and the lion lie down in peace with the lamb." We say preserve the purity of the press and we would humbly make this appeal to those who hold its management and direct itsevery movement. Suffer it not to lose its pristine usefulness. Suffer it not to become the abased and degraded vehicle of foul vituperation and bitter invective. Suffer it not to he converted into an organ for the propagation of falsehood and low billingsgate; but preserve it from prostitution, that it shall he instrumental in holding out nothing to the world but
what is calculated to produce peace,

remedy for hydrophobia, which he has communicated to the Academic des Sciences, in Paris. He had no expectation of recovery, and went into a vapor bath heated to 42 degrees Reaumur (12G Fahrenheit) as the easiest mode of suffocation. To his astonishment, the whole symptoms vanished at once, and he has never since had the slightest occurrence of this dreadful disease. Bv the same means, he has cured upwards of eighty patients, and he intends to try its efficacy incasesof cholera, plague yellow fever, and gout.
