July 15, 1S30. From the North-Carolina (Fayelteville) Journal. The "Free Press" printed at Tarborough, after the comple tion of the present volume, is to be increased in size, improved in its appearance, and to be called the "North-Carolina Free Press.' This has, hitherto, been an ac tive, intelligent and orthodox pa per. Under the belief that it will still remain so, we anxiously hope it will receive a full share of public patronage. From the Washington (N. C.) Times. The Editor of the Tarborough Free Press, is making arrange ments to enlarge his paper. Ah! We wish our subscription list would let us do so too. We hate dunning most con foundedly, and hate still worse to be dunned; but the lean condition of our old, faded, and time worn pocket-book, admonishes us to dun, dun. Good subscribers, pay us i1p) an( we wji reward you with ix fair receipt, beginning with, RectWed of John Slow pay, three dollars for subscription to Washington Times; or if you are particular, we will have them printed.

The razor with which he is supposed to have inflicted the wound, remained firmly grasped in his right hand. It is believed that the act Was done early the preceding night, as his body, when discovered, was perfectly cold. The deceased was a native of Ireland, but has resided in this city for several years. He had enjoyed the benefits of a liberal education, and is represented to have possessed a fine classical taste. He was quite a gentleman in his appearance and behaviour, but was unfortunately subject to fits of intoxication, during which, reason seemed entirely dethron ed.

A Committee, we understand, was appointed to examine into the actual state of the Institution, with respect to its debts and re sources, and to report such meas ures, as may be deemed expedi ent, for relieving the present em barrassments of the Institution, and improving its future condition. This Committee consisted of Messrs, Iredell, Cameron, Moore, Henry, Bryan, Webb, Ilobards, anil YVaddell, who made a detail ed report upon the several sub jects referred to them, in which, efficient measures were recom mended for carrying into effect, the objects embraced in the resolution. ib. Loadstone A correspondent says the SalisburyJournal, informs us, that this mineral has recent! been discovered on the planting of Capt.

The ore is found incorpora ted with the rock on the surface of which there is a considerable quantity; and they are no doubt abundant beneath the surface. Death by Lightning Qu Tuesday, the 13th inst., during thunder storm which passed over the upper part of this county, the house of Mr. Wm.

Their father and moth er were absent, and no person at home but the four children. Faycttcvillc Obs. The Census. We understand that the population of Raleigh is between 16 and 1700. By the census of 1820 it was reported at upwards of 2G00. We believe, however, that the population has not diminished; but that the ap parent difference is owing to the circumstance, that a nmber of families, living in the immediate vicinity, some of them possessing many slaves, were included in the enumeration of the city popula tion, of 1820, and very properly excluded from that of 1830...$. Census of Petersburg. By the enumeration just completed, the population of Petersburg amounts in the aggregate to 8300 inhabit ants. By the census of 1820 our number was 6G90.
