lOMKTIME in the month of March
5 last, a man calling himself ALEX
ANDER J. MAURICE, came to this
place, professirg to be a Univcrsalist
Preacher, and as such, was cordially re
ceived by the friends of Universalis.
Some short time after his arrival, his
friends becoming his sureties, he was en
abled to purchase one half of the Printing
Press, types, ana otner materials used
in the office "of the Carolina Sentinel, to
gether with some other articles, amount
ing m all to about &1H00. Scarcely have
six months elapsed, when this same un
principled scoundrel has shamefully ab
sconded, and left his friends to pay his
debts. Since his departure from this
place, we have heard ot his having car
ried away u goiu waicn entrusted to nis
care by a lady in the country, for the
purpose of having it repaired in this
'jlace; of his endeavoring to pass a note
forged by himself to the amount of 300;
of his purchasing several watches on the
eve of his departure, for which he gave
his notes; of his borrowing sever tl sums
of money, and finally leaving his tavern
bill unpaid.
This notice is therefore to caution the
public, (particularly in Philadelphia and
New-York, where he has been seen,) to
discountenance such a villain.
Said JL EX A ND E li J. MAURICE
is about five feet five inches high, dark
complexion, black hair and' grey eyes,
with a very prominent forehead.

1 n tc rn a 1 1 mp ro ccmcu ts....On
the IGth ultimo, a meeting of
iheeitiztms of Wilmington was
hold, for the purpose of Liking
into consideration the sfate of
commerce, &c. between thai
pluco and Fayetteville, when
Christopher Dudley, Esq. was
called to the Chair, and Dun
can G. M'ltae, Esq. appointed
Secretary. . The following re
solutions were then adopted;
Resolved, That this meeting, deem
the act of assembly, incorporating the
Cape Fear Navigation Company, to
gether with the immunities and pri
vileges therein granted, unjust, op
presMve, and unconstitutional.
Resolved, That the operations of
ahr Company have in the opinion of
this meeting been partial, dilatorv
;ujd injurious.
nesolved, That a committee be
appointed to dtaw up a memorial o
the Legislature, setting forth the
cause of complaint; and praying re
d.itss, and obtain signatures to the
same.
, Cajqfs Mine. This Mine is
now worked by a Salisbury
Company, who have leased it
lor a term of years. The fol
lowing can be depended on as
a correct statement of the pro
duct of the Mine at this time.
Of the hands employed, there
arc 33 negroes, 10 of whom
are women, which includes all
that are employed about the es
tablishment; the capital inves
ted is $20,000; and the weekly
product of Gold is from eight
to nine hundred pennyweights,
The expenses per week are
$125. One-sixth of the pro
duct of the Mine is paid to the
heirs of the late James Capps.
A steam-engine, of 14 horse
power, has been put up at the
Aline, which is applied to pum
ping water from a shaft 90 feet
in depth; the engine also works
two mills for grinding the ore,
on some of the late plans. The
engine consumes cords of
wood in 24 hours.
The Company have lately
established on Mallard Creek,
about G miles east of the Mine,
and have now in oporation, 4
mills for grinding and 13 poun
ders for pulverising the ore, all
by water power.
At the Mine they are 75 feet
deep from the surface on the
principal vein, which is not so
rich as it has been, but the ore
is more abundant and the vein
more extensive, tit was stated
to us about a week aro, that
the last 3 feet in depth on the
vein had produced as large an
amount of Gold as any former
3 feet in the Mine; and at the
present depth of 75 feet, the e
vidence of future productive
ness is as flattering as at any
former period t--Cj a f Jour,
Use of Cotton in ike Nary.
Reports from three several
naval Commanders, on the
subject of the experiments
which have been made with
cotton sails during the past
year, are among the documents
transmitted to Congress accom
panying the Secretary of lhe
iavy s Report. Captain Mc-
Call states in an official letter to
his Commander-in-Chief, Com
modore Elliott, that the sails ot
his vessel, which was supplied
with a full suit manufactured of
cotton, had stood the test of
twelve months trial, during
Vol. Vll v0 ai.
which time ihe vessel had been
almost constantly at sea, and
her sails in constant use. The
winter winds on the Coast of
Mexico, where tho vessel was
cruising, and the squalls in
summer, are frequently very
violent. Lieut. Boerum, who
commanded the Erie, made a
similar report. He states that
he is much pleased with his
cotton sails, and .thinks they
will stand every test. ;It had
been apprehended they would
be found unmanageable- in wet
weather, but Mr. Boerum re
marks on this point, that as lit
tle difficulty was experienced
with them as. with other sails;
and that they hold wind better.
Commodore Elliott, in trans
mitting those opinions to the
Department, suggests the pro
priety of using cotton also as
the material for the wearing ap
parel of seamen in warm cli
mates. Twilled and dyed blue,
he is of opinion it would make
excellent shirts, trowsers and
jackets, and would be condu
cive to health in a climate
wl lere a better absorbent mute
rial than linen is required.

Imprionmcnt for Debt...Tho
hiladelphia Gazette publishes
statement of fortv eases? nf im
prisonment by magistrates of
the city and county, in which
wiesum total ot debt was but
823-40i, while the cost amoun
ted to $70 20. In one of these
cases, a man was imprisoned
thirty days for a debt of tioo
cents. In another case a debt
of $1 50 appears to have been
divided into two debts of 75
cents.
Beggars. In Philadelphia a
beggar upon crutches lately en
tered a bar room, imn orino-
charity. He had a dog, which
he offered to sell for 25 cents.
One of the company, pretend
ing to be a constable, entered
and charged him with stealing
the dog, and took him into the
treet, as if to take him to a
magistrate, when, giving him a
chance, tne beggar threw awav
his crutches and scampered
out ofsiffht ina minute!
'Theological Duel. Last
week a disputation was held at
the church in Miltord, JN. J. be
tween the Rev. Mr. M'Calla, of
Philadelphia, and Air. Lane, of
the sect calling themselves
Christians and who deny the
divinity of our Saviour, and the
existence of a Trinity, and who
had challenged Mr M'Calla to
the disputation. The ques
tion vas: 'is the man Christ
Jesus the supreme and eternal
GodrMr. M'Calla in the af
firmative, and Mr. Lane in ihe
negative. Several of our citi
zens attended the discussion in
whole or in par!.
It is said that a Mr. Clow of
New York, who was in atiend
ance at the debate, and belongs
to the same sect with Mr. Lane,
has -challenged Mr. M'Calla to
another discussion on the sub
ject iu the city of New York,
on the 4th Tuesday of -March
next, and that. Mr.' M'Calla,
who atlopts as his rule, never to
give and never to refuse any
challenge of the kind, has ac
cepted the challenge.
