     , ' inset in » vacant

     and attached it by a hook to the side of his 
     
     cushioned seat; having i nited the lamp 
     
     by means of a iucifer matc , he spent some 
     
     time in arranging a little shade aflixsd tn

     DONALD McKsv.—The enterprise of our 
     
     esteemed fellow-citizen, Donald McKay, and the 
     
     deep feeling of regret which exists at the misfor- 
     
     tune which has befsllen the noble monument of 
     
     his mechanical genius, induces us to give a few 
     
     facts in his personal history, which. are of public 
     
     interest. Mr. McKay is about 45 cars of age, 
     
     and is one of a family of eighteen c ililren. four- 
     
     teen nf whom wit parents, still survive 
     
     The senior Mr McKay is s Scotchman by birth. 
     
     He resides at East Boston, and is s fine, hearty 
     
     gentleman, able now to perform as much manual 
     
     labor as either of his seven sons, all of whom are 
     
     practical shi carpenters. He has seven daugh- 
     
     ters living, a I of whom are married. 
     
    

    
     Donald McKay was born at Sbelburne. Nova 
     
     Sr.-otis. I-ls went to New York at an early age, 
     
     and first, worked as a day labourer in a shi yard. 
     
     From a short sketch of Mr. McKay's life, nmisb- 
     
     ed to a journal in another city by our nautical 
     
     friend of the Atlas, we learn that he learned his 
     
     trade as a shipbuilder with Mr. Bell of New 
     
     York, by whom he was afterwards recommended 
     
     to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 
     
     was selected from among nearly a thousand men, 
     
     as the foreman of a gang who had some particu- 
     
     lar work to perform. But i strong Native Ameri- 
     
     can party feeling prevailed among the mechanics, 
     
     and the noble and sltilful foreman was not able to 
     
     retain his humble station. 
     
    

    
     Mr.‘ Bell, his former employer, sent him to 
     
     Newhsrygport, to draught and superlntend the 
     
     building a number of ships for New York mer- 
     
     chants. la this new field of labor he found an op‘ 
     
     portunity to display that genius which is now urti- 
     
     versally awarded ' I soon not up in 
     
     business, and the fame of the excellence of his ves-

     other articles is a great quantity of corn, in bulk 
     
    

    
     and in bags. That part moat badly burnt will be 
     
     gooii for nothing. The clean portions, injured 
     
     only by water, will be chiefly valuable to make

     during the last war, Rev. Henry Ward 
     
     Beecher said:

     ity, employing the energies which religion 
     
     and peace have develo within them, for 
     
     purposes of frattricidal war, would be one of 
     
     the most accursed that time could look up- 
     
     on. The wounds which the original rupture 
     
     produced are healed; the animosity of the 
     
     war of l8l2 died with the echo ofthe cannon 
     
     on the deep, and sank to the bottom of the 
     
     sea. Since then kinder councils have pre-

     their history—the Mngna Charla, the En-

     our Chaucer it is; our Spencer; our Shak- 
     
     spearc; our Bacon; our Newton; our Milton. 
     
     We will do by their libraries, unreprovcd, 
     
     what they did by our ships; we will hoard 
     
     them; we will question and claim their 
     
     authors; we will impress and bind them, 
     
     and send them forth to serve our youth. 
     
     And if the printers of Great Britain are 
     
     fierce to make reprisals, and send forth 
     
     armies ofcompositors to seize our Irving,

     our Emerson, and Byrant and Dana, and 
     
     VVillis; our Tyng, and Bethune nnd Bd-

     but we will thank God that Old England has 
     
     yet got a pee le who love good reading,

     of the world’s liberty, when tyrants are 
     
     finally taught men shall be free and nations 
     
     protected in their right of self-government. 
     
     In such a conflict as that—if it must come 
     
     ——God has again hardened the heart of 
     
     Phnroah, that he will ttot let the people go, 
     
     and he decrees that the people shall come 
     
     forth from the land of bonds e by the gate- 
     
     way of war--then let Great ritain become 
     
     Moses; France and America as Aaron and 
     
     Hur; and while they hold up the venerable 
     
     hands, let it be again, as when it was writ- 
     
     ten, “ And it came to pass, when Moses 
     
     held up his hand, Israel prevailed. * 
     
     And his hands were steady until the going 
     
     down ofthe suit.” Until the sun go down 
     
     on the earth for the last time, let England 
     
     and America stand for the liberty or the 
     
     world.

     Snnt ltiiartnvo.-—It is pleasant to see that 
     
     this wonder-working steam can bring landlord 
     
     and mill owners into social intercourse, honour- 
     
     able to both sides: it is not less remarkable 
     
     that it bids fair, ere long, to merge the two 
     
    

    
     eat classes in the one class of manuhcturers. 
     
     n the one aspect it is exaltin the recent 
     
     manufacturers to a level with the lords of the 
     
     soil : in the other it is converting the landlords 
     
     themselves into master manufacturers, and their 
     
     rtns into manufactories. The day after Mr. 
     
     Salt’s princely ‘do, Mr. Meehi was the invited 
     
     guest of the erts Agricultural Association. 
     
     An curl, and a baron, and so forth, were as- 
     
     sembled, in expectation of the speech of the day 
     
     from a London tradesman ; one who had made 
     
     an era tion from the counter, (with wealth 
     
     srnseseil there.) into the broad acres of the 
     
     territorial aristocracy. Nor did the nest dis- 
     
     ti int the nobility and sqnires who ad invit- 
     
     cdlioim evidently to stimulate their own tenants. 
     
     He dealt out wholesome suggestions to land- 
     
     lords with large estates, complaining of want 
     
     of capital toirn rovc, honestly advising them to 
     
     sell part of ir land, an prove the rest 
     
     with the money. He «rebuked tenants, w 
     
     clinging to the old ways, g-udged the landlord 
     
     a fair interest for lie mono be bd laid out; 
     
     but the burden of his was steam. The 
     
     amount of steam-power Ill any agricultural dis-

     of Mr. Richard Caton, and when the late Marquis 
     
     Wellesley married hrr she was widow o

     it is said, amounted to £5,000,000, the result of

     The deceased, and the unfortunate gentleman,

     " This town was the scene yesterday morning. 
     
     of one of the most appalling ragediee, that it has 
     
     ever fallen to our lot to record ; and which deeply

     bald Otto Dodd. Esq Barrister at Law, ag 
     
     27 years, who was shot dead in the store of Mr 
     
     Burchell, about 10 o’clcclt yesterday morning by 
     
     the voltintary dischafic of a loaded pistol at him, 
     
     by Nicholas Henry artin, ., J. P., and late 
     
     Post Master at this place, which tltelattcr took at 
     
     the moment from his .

     ilful Murder returned by the Jury thereupon, 
     
     against Mr Martin—- who immediately after the 
     
     discharge of the pistol at Mr Dodd, repaired to

     rendered bimsclf to Justice. 
     
    

    
     it appears from the testimony of parties who 
     
     witnessed the fatal occurrence, and the pistol was 
     
     discharged at deceased without any previous alter 
     
     cation at the time, and without the slightest 
     
     warning. 
     
    

    
     The reason assigned for this shocking act, is 
     
     an alleged Injury done by deceased to a member 
     
     of the family ofthe accused. 
     
    

    
     was the eldest son of Judge

     We have at present merely time to announce 
     
     the fact of this dreadful occurrence; but shall 
     
     place the evidence given before the Coroner's Ju-

     We had in'the last Royal Gazette the conclusion 
     
     of Mr. Wbelsn‘s defence. There has been some lit. 
     
     tle ingennity, and no small share nfcunoingtlisplaysd; 
     
     and it is amusing to observe with what anxiety Mr. 
     
     Whelan labors to free himself front incidentiilchurgeu 
     
    
   
   
    
     the charge totally unanswered and undsfonded. The 
     
     mention of interpolating the Journals was a mere 
     
     suggestion, in order to account for such a frilselloed 
     
     appearing upon them. It might he. and we have 
     
     reason to believe, that, the strength of this House huv. 
     
     lug been tested on the amendments. which were jour 
     
    

    
     nalinsd, the minority did not care to divide upon the 
     
     main motion, as it is termed; but it is as clear as the 
     
     sun at noon day, that those who voted for the amend- 
     
     ment. voted also against the main tnotion, rind that 
     
     when Mr. Whelan says that Mr. Havilsnd. Mr. Long. 
     
     worth, Mr. Done and the rest, voted for that motion, 
     
    

    
     he is guilty of altering a falsehood, knowing it to be 
     
     each. In the same style, he runs dwoy from the 
     
    

    
     question in point of time, wishing it to be believed 
     
    

    
     that the only tnstter in dispute was, whether the deed 
     
    

    
     he had laid on the table gsvo hitu a legal qualification; 
     
     whereas the charge was, that on the day of the new r‘- 
     
     netioti Inc had not the legal qualification that he swore 
     
    

    
     he had. it has been proved he hsd ant, and the only

     direrued his nttentiori nnil nllttpod his defence to meet, 
     
    

    
     was, that though he had taken it fiilse oath yet he had 
     
    

    
     not committed perjury. However, he has chosen his 
     
    

    
     own course, and stands before the public; for our own 
     
    

    
     part, as far as this matter is concerned, we take our 
     
    

    
     leave of hint and this disagreeable subject. with this 
     
    

    
     single remark, that Mr. Whelan has himself only to 
     
    

    
     thank for the revival ofa charge which had been frilly 
     
    

    
     and sulliciently investigated before. Had he been 
     
    

    
     contented to have retired in silence ftotrt that council 
     
    

    
     board, to which he ought never to have been called, 
     
    

    
     and to which he was anything but an honor, and not 
     
    

    
     have endeavored to thrust himself into the society of 
     
     those to whom he knew he was obnoxioos—lf, in 
     
    

    
     short, he had been possessed of the least portion of 
     
    

    
     the spirit and principle of a gentleman and man of 
     
     honor. he W  preferred going otit ofthe admin-

     Mr. Whelan threatens to attack the late Queen‘: 
     
     Printer, in revenge for our having shewn hint up in 
     
     the matter of the printing of the Journals and the

     Haszard had plundered the country, to any extent 
     
     that could be cooceived,—thoug'n, by the way, if he 
     
     had we should have heard of it long ere tliis,—whui

     a single shilling unnecessarily from the public purse, 
     
     would put_their hands into their own and give it pound, 
     
     whose horror of jobs amounts to infatuation, tin- 
     
     amount of whose public virtue is past computation, 
     
     and whose public integrity is so carefully guarded that 
     
     it never sees the light,—can we suppose it possible

     advise Mr. Whelan to show an that we have been 
     
     tnisinforrned,—that the thing is not as we have been 
     
     told it is,--that it is impossible that one of the apos- 
     
     tles of reform should so far forget himself as to sink 
     
     into the vices of those whom he has all his life been 
     
     laboring to hold up to public execrsticn. In a word, 
     
     we would counsel him to take the beam out of his 
     
     own eye, before he meddles with the mote he fancies 
     
     he sees in his neighbor’s.

     a n the subject, and for the information 
     
     which I am about to lay before your readers, I 
     
     am indebted to a pa r in the New York Obser-

     empire of Russia is larger than that of 
     
     Rome in its most flourishing days: being 
     
     more than double the rest 0 Europe. Two 
     
     thirds of it lie in Asia, whose tribes allow the 
     
     User only a nominal authority. As the census, 
     
     though periodically, is not carefully taken, the 
     
     amount of its population is not very scout-i_r.t_ely 
     
     ascertained. Aceordiu to the bestautbortties, 
     
     it amount! to 61 or 0 millions; of these 40 
     
     millions are Sclsvonians, the others are 
     
     tars, Mongols, Caucasians, Persians, ibc. _ 
     
     a few Germans are found in the towns, there is 
     
     also a considerable number of Jews, chiefly in 
     
     Poland. _

     Another  consists of persons called nu- 
     
     tables. This consists of merchants who hue 
     
     acquired nude uilent fo tunes, of lg;-ma mm,

     exempted from taxes and are little inferior to 
     
     the personal nobles. 
     
    

    
     Next follows the merchants who are divided 
     
     into three classes. The first of ‘these cngn 
     
     in foreign trade, are bankers and maaefiseturers. 
     
     l‘he second most coniino themselves to internal 
     
     commerce; and the third are petty remit shop- 
     
     keepers. These are subject enclt to a special 
     
    
   
   
    
     1. 
     
     The next class which we shall mention con- 
     
     sists of the free peasants ; which ootn risds the 
     
     serfs who have been made free. ‘here are 
     
     various ways in which they may obtain their 
     
     liberty. Pliny may be emancipated by the 
     
     lords, or obtain their freedom by purehuin

     lages; and those villa s into districts having 
     
     a chief over them of thzir own selection, that 
     
     they may bc'protected a inst. the encroach- 
     
     montsof the Loyards, who look upon them with 
     
     a jealous eye. 
     
    

    
     in the next place we may mention the 3.14‘. 
     
     which comprise a po ulation of 40 millions 
     
     and which are a kin of half slaves. Of thd 
     
     treatment which they receive from their masters 
     
     different accounts are given; some representing 
     
     it no cruel and others on lenient. These ao- 
     
     couuts may be reconciled. Some masters ma 
     
     treat their serfs well and others ill, and acco - 
     
     mg as these diflbrent courses are pursued, 
     
     Will be the accounts given by those that witness 
     
     t.hent_. Masters, however, are in some de , 
     
     restricted in regard to the treatment of their 
     
     slaves. The members of is family cannot be 
     
     separated, but must be sold together, when 
     
     transferred from one master to another. Serfs 
     
     cannot compel their Lords to sell them their 
     
     liberty. but upon paying them 120 franks per 
     
     auuunt ma re’ ir to the towns, and reside 
     
     tlieae. Mid 30‘-'0I'ding|y many of them are found 
     
     'in let. Petorsburg. Moscow, and other cities. 
     
     The serf who lives on his lord‘s domains is 
     
     compelled to labor for him three days in the 
     
     week; the remaining days he has for himself. 
     
    

    
     ‘ Etlucation is in a very low state in Russia. 
     
    

    
     Eleven millions of franks are annually expended 
     
     on schools, which however, are, chiefly, intend- 
     
     ed_fcr the instruction of the sons of nobleman, 
     
     priests, and public officers. The mass of the 
     
     eopl_c are in it state 0 t ignorance, and, it 
     
     is estimhted, that note vc one in 300 of the

     number of upils there is very limited, and the
