palliate his neglect, or justify l is breach
of an implied promise. If his private
business or ease render him unable er un
willing to attend to his public duties, his
course is plain let him resign, and give
place to some one else, no that the inter
ests of the public m.iy not suffer through
his inability or neglect. No man, in our
opinion, can conscientiously hold an office
one moment longer than he possesses the
ability and inclination fait hfully to perform
the duties which appertain lo it.
If any member of the Board for Inter.
nal Improvements is incapacitated, from
any cause, from performing the services
required of him, we hope lie will sec the
propriety of his coiiMillin;; lhc public good,
by resigning. The object of the meet
ing of the Boaid at Wilmington was an
important one ; the interests of the State
were materially 'connected with it ; but
nothing could be done there, on account
f the absence of twoof its members. We
do not say therefore that the public inter
ests suffered (although Mich mijjht have
been the rase ;1 but important business
Was delayed, mid additional expense in
curred, bv the absence of those ulioin
nothing but imperious necessity should
have kept from the post of duty.

proved of the plan recommended by the
ciril engineer, and believing the object to
be attainable, expedient, consistent with
good policy, and that it can be accom
plished for the turn appropriated by the
act of last session for this purpose, they
resolved that the work be executed with
all possible, dispatch, and authorized Mr.
F'tilton, the state engineer, to contract for
the execution of it. We trust, therefore,
that these obstructions which have- been
in the way of vessels of any considerable
burthen coining into the port of Wilming

not fail to be of vast advantage, not only
to that place, but to the mercantile inter

nosTON.jAM, 23. On Tuesday niht,
Jluvjard 7'iuk, a prisoner in the County
goal in this town, made his escape, and
lias not yet been found. He is the pec
son who was some time since tried in (he
Supreme Court for murder committed in
the State prison, and acquitted on the plea
of insanity, and who, being commit'ed for
safe keeping to the goal in this town, in
September last, killed twoof his fellow
prisoners, who had been permitted to ac
company him in his room, to assist him
in reading the bible. Since the commis
sion of this last act. Re has been kept in
irons. A short time since, he entirely
stripped himself of his irons, and they
were replaced by a new set much stron
ger. I hese were shackles upon his legs,
by whic h he was chained to the floor, a
double pair of handcuffs, and an iion col
lar, uiili a chain passing from it to the ir
ons between his hands. These had teen
strictly examined on Monday, ami wcie
entirely sound, and they were apparently
so on 'Tuesday. lie, however, succeeded ,
on TuesH.iy night in breaking both pair
of handcuffs, the chain of his collar, utul
the chain by which he was fastened to the
floor. He then removed two or ihiee
thick oak planks which formed a part of
the ceiling, and were fastened bv several
bolts, broke 'wo large bars of iibii, re
moved a number of small stones in the
wall, and forced out a lare stone forming
a put of the outer face of the wall, which
fe ll upon the platfoim, and left an open
ing laige enough for him easily to escape.
By the assistance of a plan from his
room, he made his way to the top of a
shed, from which he escaped into the

was much alllicted with the gravrl, and
twice ia serious danger from small stones
lodging in the passage. I met with a
gentleman who had been in my situation
and pat rid of that disorder by sweeten
ing his tea with half honey and half su

effectual. After being fully clear of my
disease, about ten years I declined taking
honey, and in about tlnre months I had
a violent fit of my old complaint. 1 then
renewed my practice of taking honey in
my tea, and am now more than three
