Twenty-three men and live females were convicted, among them. were three husbands for beating their wives, the average punishment for which offence appears to be six month's imprisonment in the Penitentiary . Irsv. icn. This town, one of the most ancient in New England, is to celebrate its sec ond hundredth year on the 15th of August. Two orators have been appointed for the occasion, viz: the Hon. Kufus Choate, member of Congress of Salem, and the Rev. Daniel Dana. D. D. of Newburyport, both men of distinguished talents, and nalivess of Ipswich. A failure of the potato crops, and consequent high price of provisions, have driven the inhabitants in the vicinity of Tipper ary to acts of desperation and violence. About 200 of these poor people, in a state almost of starvation, attacked the flour carts of .Messrs. Grubbs, on their way lo Tipperary. The police were called out, and the rioters apprehended. An instance of wonderful preservation is given in the New York Commercial Adzcrtisser, of Mrs. ArrLEBEE, of Colden, (now of Black Rock,) who was tn the cabin of the schr. JNrio Conneclie.ttt, bound from Connecticut to Buffalo, when that vessel was recently capsized off Northeast, Penn., and was supposed to have sunk. It was subsequently discovered that the JVo Connecticut did not sink, but righted, and Mrs. Applebec, after heingirc days in the cabin, partly immersed in water, came out alive, like one from the dead! Mrs. App.ebee, (says the Buffalo Patriot,) has prepared a narrative of the circum stances attending the disaster to the vessel, and Iter astonishing preservation and deliverance fiom such imminent perils. It is a narrative of thrilling interest, and the facts are corroborated hy abundant and unquestioned ( s'imoTiv.

DISMISSAL FOR OPINIONS. An orthodox gentleman in Sunbury, Pa., nas recentlv dismised his clerk for his roll ious opinions. He gave him the following certiheate: Sunburn, JWarch 17, 1G.14. " This is to certify that A. Brown was in my employ as a cleik, for thiee months, and was honest and attentive to his business, and gave full satisfaction.

CHOLERA. I Madison, Augr.t m. Sinre the publication of onr last paper we have had three case of this disease in our town, all of which terminated fatally, viz: Harvey Piotce, Alfred f ierce, and Mrs. Pierce, mother nf the two former. A son of M. G. Bright, Eq. died on Saturday night last of flax, and Dr. James W Lanier died on Sunday night. lie

had been for some weeks confined with paralysis. There ate hut few cnc? of disease of liny kind now in the place, excepting, peihap. hooping cooi;h e.nd fiux among children Terjson who wish to vi-il the place can do n wills 'perfect safety, for we can assure ihem the 'own is more healthy than it hn'i hern for some weeks. Those persons who died of cholera brought ihe disease on themclves, hy disregarding those precautions which ate S3 essentially necessary to the preservation of health at this season ot the year. Since the above was in type, three more ca ses of Cholera have occuned in the family above named, old Mr. Pieice his son and dangh ter, two of whom are dead. All the members of the above fitnily were intemperate, with the exception of the daughter, and they lived in a very small one story frame building, pooily ventilated, which was enough of itself to produce this disease. The public may rest assuicd, as we before stated, that the town is, (apart from these cases) healthy. Republican Banner. Cholera. Verbal information from Montreal, represents the cholera to have been very fatal there during the last week. The deaths on some days are stted as high as fifty or sixty which is nearly as bad as it was in 1832. The papers do not contain any report from the hospitals, and most of them are silent on the subject of the health of the city. The Vindicator of the 29lh ult., however, protests against the con tinued silence of all the journals, and the positive misrepresentation of some of them, w ilh respect to the prevalence of cholera in the city. With in a fortnight (says the Vindicator) about four hundred persons, or one per cent, of the population, have been hurried to their craves. The proportion of mortality appears to have been the greatest among the part styled Protestant, including, for the most pm l English, Scotch and American. Albany Argus. State Hank Loan taken. We have been shown a letter from one of the fund commission ers at New York, under date of the 7th instant informing that the 5 per cent loan of this state, amounting to 500.000, was taken on the 6th inst. by Mesrs Prime, Ward, and King, of that city, at a premium, on the whole amount, of s5,250. Thus the matter is put to rest Indi ana will have a bank, the prayeis and wishes of panic makers to the contrary notwithstanding. The most energetic exertions will now he made to have matters and things arranged, so that the institution will commence operations in Novem ber next. Indiana Palladium. On Friday, first of August, slavery virtually ceases throughout the British colonies, and eight hundred thousand captives go free! It is a day not to be passed over coldly or silently by any man who has we will not say, an American heart, for in these degenerate times is an equivocal term, but a soul for freedom. It will be recollected that the following resolution was unanimously adopted by (he New England Anti Slavery Convention: Resolved, That it be recommended t the friends of abolition to celebrate, by appropriate services, the first of August, 1834, it being the day on which the slaves in the British Colonies cease to be properly. Fil"ratnr, A'e:o Military Post We understand that the I nttcfl States tioops tor some time past station ed at Fort Smith, have been trarsfeiied to a beautiful and commanding site, J 6 miles further up the Arkansas, known by the name of the Swallow Rock, where a new PoFt has been established, called Fort Coffee. Several other new Military posts, we understand, have been established in the Indian country, by Gen. Lea venworth; but we have neither learnt their names or localities. Road across the Isthmus of Panama. The Daily Advertiser of (his morning says: -"We have had (he pleasure of conversing with Scnor Pareds, a highly respecctable merchant of Panama who has leceived from the government of New Granada, the privilege of constructing a carriage road from that city ' 'he Atlantic. lie takes the packet this day for Europe en his own private business, anil we hope he may meet with a much attention and encouragement there as he has received in this part of the world. Ac:o Yurk Star. Improved f:nc Wvoled sheep. We have been presented by Thomas L. Shields, Esq. of t L place, with a specimen nf very tine wood taken from one or two sheep now en their way from Europe to Ross county, Ohio. These sheep two ram we believe, were purchased by a Mr. Seymour who resides near Bainbridge, Ross county, and the owner of a highly improved and handsomely situated Faim. The specimen of wool left w ith us is about a foot long and very fine and as the sheep are of iiood si.e the yield must be immense from each. We hope we may be able at some future time, lo give a more detailed history these very no hie animals. It is to hoped, that our enterpii sing fai meis will encourage the introduction of fine wooled sheep among us. The improve meut of these useful and ttidi'pensihle animals ha Letn giossly neglected hy our farmers. A medical Student of Baltimore, a native of Ohio, haa displayed great genius in mould

From the A" w York Krrninrr S.'ni: O A letter which appeared in ihe Norfolk Fea con, from on board the brig Aj-x, at Sisal, Mex ico. states that an outrage hadbetn committed on that vessel by an armed Mexican erboonei

which refused to allow the vessel to enter hei destined port, threatening wi;h fi inrinto hri and causing her to anchor within pi-!ol shot. nr,l bringing a long twelve pounder In hear. The schooner havirg sniled on a cruise, ihe raptain of the brig took advniitace and Middled into port. Some da afirr, the schooner al-o came into harbor, w hen she was fired upon from the castlp, but Inking tdieUer under cover of the brig, which she placed between hot self and ihe castle, several grape shot fell r.ear the Ajax. inl s!;C was tuacea in a coesKieialdc ian.'r. till the schooner proceeded to sea. The fdl g extract will explain the cause of ibis urjusli liable affair. The only cane, as we could understand, for this conduct, was simply a difference which has aken place, between the Governor her?, and thcGeneial at Canipeachy, this schooner wn fitted out to inteict pt and send down ta the lat ter place all vessels bound into this port, until the General's demand for .$50,000, to pay hitroops, shall be complied with. Fortunately for us we were consigned to a Campeachy house. w hich hasat several times advanced thisGcneral money; and who, it appears, is the son-in-law of Gen. Santa Anna, or we should have been manned by a half starved crew and sent dow n to Campeachy, and there to have stayed until probably the bottom of the brig had been eaten out bv worms. We shall sail for Havana in about ten days, corv. To the commander of the schr. Papaluapa, sail ing under the Mexican flag. Sir: The undersigned master of the brig Aiax oi XNortolk, the papers oi which vessel you ex amined this morning, demands your reasons for refusing to let him proceed to his port of destina tion, Sisal. He has only to add, that if longer detained, he shall abandon the brig and look to bis government for redress. (Signed,) WM. MILLER. Brig Ajax, June 16,1834. There are some accounts of difficulties having arisen between Russia and Turkey, in relation lo the frontiers which are to divide the two countries; and Russian troops have, it is said, advanced beyond the line stipulated by the late treaty. There are also tumors of war between Russia and Persia, Aninlercsting Coincidence. U is very pertinently and naturally remarked by the Raleigh (N. C.) Register, that Lafayette died on the anniversary of the Jirsl declaration of lodepend ence; the 20th of May being the day on which North Carolina declared herself Independent ; and that too, it is curious to observe, in language almost identical with that used afterwards by Mr. Jefferson, in drawing op the declaration of the United Colonies. It is well observed, further, by the same paper, that it is a very striking coincidence, that Adams, Jefferson, and Monroe, should have died on the anniversary oftheGeneial Declaration of our country's Indepence, and Lafayette on that of the original one. Barbarism. There were confined, in a room 14 by 16 feet square, in the jail in this city, on one of the hottieet days of last week, 13 persons committed for the crime of not being able to pay their debts. The whole number confined in jail for debt on Friday last, was 32. The nnm her imprisoned for crime under sentence of the law, or committed for trial, is 28, all of whom are confined to 8 small cells. The whole number confined fcr debt and crime is 61, among whom are four colored persons. These facts need no commentary. Providence Journal. A Boomer. Mr. Phineas R. Gilbert of North Bend, Ohio, a few days since, caught, perhaps, the largest fish that has ever been taken from our western waters. The gentleman was of the cat denomination, and of the following huge dimensions: 7 feet 2 1-2 inches long, 3 feel G 12 inches in circumference, and weighing 214 pound'. The above can be substantiated by at leasl fifty respectable gentlemen of Miami township. Indiana Palladium.
