remorse is copied from the Philadelphia
U. S. Gazette. What a lesion does it
convey!
"Clough, the murderer of the lovely
and amiable Mrs. Hamilton to the time
of his ..sentence, and being remanded to
prison for the last time, continued to as
sert his innocence. On that day his
manner changed, and he became appa
rently penitent. In conversation with
a gentleman preparing for the ministry,
who had been Ids schoolfellow, he de
clared that he had laid a plan for Mrs.
Hamilton's death a month before it took
place; that he had determined if she
won Id not have Him, no other person
should have Her.
41e now describes his dreams as be
ing of the most horrid and terrific kind;
& relates one, in which he imagined him
self descending a flight of stairs of inter
minable length, ending in a black and
indistinct abyss; the stairs seemed to
turn, and left him hanging by his hands
until he could hold on no longer. When
the Court House bell rang to announce
die verdict of the jury, Clough was found
lying on .the floor of his cell writhing in
agony. His situation is indeed dreadful;
' sleep, the sweet restorer of nature,
brings no relief to his desolate spirit;
and he evidently longs to escape from
the ocean of agony upon which he is
tossed, and lie down upon the shore of
death."
tt?Clough, since 'his conviction, had
well nigh effected his escape" from prison.
He used a sharp stone in making a hole
through the wall of the jail.

An important Discovert. C. S. Ra
lineso.ue, of this city, "Professor ..f m..ny
Sciences, Architect, Draftsman, cV." has
announced to the public, the discovery,
by himself of a new mode of erecting
buildings of all kinds, so as to render
them entirely incombustible. He de
nominates this discovery by the term hi
combustible Architecture, and alleges the
following as the advantages of the new
style, all which he offers to warrant, viz.
I. Buildings will be fire proof.
. 2. They. cannot be set on fire on pur
pose. 3. They cannot catch fire from neigh
b ours.
4. They will last longer.
5. They can be warmed in winter at
one third the actual cost.
6. They will bo insured at a mere
trifle.
7. They will be warmer in winter.
8. They will be cooler in summer.
9. They require no expense of fire en
gines and firemen.
10. They will save the lives of 100,000
persons doomed to be burni alive.
II. They will save 100 millons of dol
lars of property doomed to be burnt.
12. They will look neater and more
convenient inside.
These unquestionably are important
considerations, and tin? Professor speaks
most certainly of his ability in ; erfnrm all
he promises. The modus operandi of
this new style, he wisely and discreetly
keeps to himself, bui with munificent lib
erality he offers to divulge lite secret to
any architect for the sum 81000; or if any
demur at this price, he declares he will
himself undertake the erection of any ed
fice, and receive for payment the saving
in fuel and insurance, and in the expense
of the building it being part of the Pro
fessor's plan to build houses of this kind
at a much cheaper rate than in ihe ordi
nary way. Certainly we bespeak much
attention to the Professors declarations.

Melancholy Casualty. worthy and
respected young man of this city, Mr. G.
Ha Nam, was drowned on Saturday eve
ning last, in Gregory's mill-pond, about
three miles from Town. He left hen;
with his wife and child late in the eve
ning, intending to carry them on a visit
of a few weeks in i he country. Arriv
ing at the pond, he found the stream con
siderably swollen, but not thinking the
passage dangerous across the dam lie
pushed on, his wife and child for greater
security, having gotten Out of the gig.
He had not proceeded many paces, When
the horse took fright, and leaped from
the dam into the pond, dragging the un
fortunate young man with him. Both
sunk, and after ineffectual struggles to
reach the shore, both found a watery
grave. The wretched wife and child
were the only spectators of the heart ren

Merchants' Manufacturing Company.
This Company, incorporated by .the
legislature, with a Capital of $80,000,
has already commenced operations.
They have erected a capacious four storv
brick building on the river uear Fleets'
Bridge, which has elicited universal ad
miration for its peculiar adaptation to
die spinning of Cotton Yarns,and the
manufacturing of goods; and it lias been
pronounced by gentlemen from the North,
fjohversaut with the subject, not to be
surpassed by any of the mills it that sec
tion of the country. The maddnery in
this building is all of the latest improve
ments, and frdih its beautiful fnish and
substantial construction, reflects great
credit upon the Maiteawah (N. .') Com
pany by whom it was manufactured.
The Company have likewise furchased
the Cotton mill, contiguous to dieir new
building, formerly belonging t Messrs.
J. F. Wily & Co. Who u the wh.ile es
tablishment is put into full operation they
will rim 3,500 spindles, and a number of
looms capable of weaving from 1500 to
2000 yards of Cotton Cloth per day; leav
ing a surplus capacity to add consideru
tdy to the machinery.
In addition to the above mentioned
improvement, we learn that the Bland
lord Cotton seed oil mill, which was
burnt down some months ago, has
been rebuilt, on an improved plan
and considerably enlarged; and the
large water power at Eitrick Bunks, a
short distance beyond the Corporation
line, has recently been purchased by one
of our enterprising citizens, Avho we be
lieve is iiiakmg arrangements to uvail him
self of ils fine manufacturing advantages.
We have not heard to what particular
purpose it is to be appropriated, but if to
the spinning ofcottou, there is, as we have
been informed, power more man suffi
cient to driVe 10,000 spindles. Our dis
tant friends will thus perceive that our
march is omcard- onward.

Shiptorcck. VUn New Brunswick
Gleaner relates the occurrence of a most
melancholy wreck at sea, involving the
hiss of n brig from Ireland, full of pas
sengers, and all. on boird: bn the morn
ing of th- 5th May, during a severe gale,
in lai. 46. Ion. 31, Cap't. Denipsey, of
Hie ship Kingston, discovered 'at a short
distance to I re warn, aJ rig jyihg oh her
beam ends with a flag of distress waving.
Capt D. instantly bore down towards,
her when she proved to be the brig Albi
on, of Clork; crowded with passengers.
Having reached within hail of the unfor
tunate vessel, a heart rending scene pre
sented itself. We beheld, says Capt.
D. the brig, reeling ere she took ihe hist
fatal plunge witnessed the cool intre
pidity of the sailor; even at such a mo
ment and listened with feelings ihe
most harrowing, to the piercing shrieks
of the ill fated passengers. The rrevir
of the Kingston1 flung their best boat in
to i he boiling Atlantic; but ekertion was
vain, the angry ocean soon made her its
prey. The Albion went ddwh with ev
ery human soul oh board.
"They sunk into the deep, vvith bubbling groan,
Without a grave, unknell'd uncof&Vd and un
known." The Kingston soon left the awful
spot, on which not a vestige oif any thing
belonging to the brig was visible. Capt,
I), could not ascertain to what port she
was bound;'
The Cholera. The accounts from the
Soutli West, of the ravages oft his dis
ease, are awful indeed. It seem to have
spread terror and destruction through
out the Valley of the Mississippi; and
along ihe banks of the river of that
name, as well as those of Ohio, from
Wheeling down, to Now Orleans, it is
much prevalentand very fatal. At Mays
ville owing to death and desertion, out of
a population of three thousand, scarcely
more than one hundred remained; add at
Lexington, Parisj Cyndiiaua, Flemings
burgh, Ijawreneeburg, Georgetown and
other inland places in Kentucky, the Cho
lera has mown down its victims with re
lentless violence. It was likewise appear
ing in the different towns in Tennessee.
At New Orleans there was no doubt it
was prevailing epidemically, and the
deaths from Cholera' and Otlier diseases
h id been from forty to fifty per day.
We cannot give half the details; and it
would subserve ! no good, purpose to
place them in our columns. We would
rather employ the whole of our space,
and every faculty we possess, in urg'ng
upon the minds of our readers, and es

son Edward Simpson, and died instant
ly, on the afternoon of the 20th May.
While Mr. Dobbin was at dinner at his
dwelling, half a mile distant, Simpson
got into the Store house thror a porch in
the upper story, and took possession of a
room which he had formerly occupied.
On returning from dinner, and learning
this circumstance Mr. Dobbin ascended
the stairs, probably with a view of eject
ing Simpson from the premises, or or
dering him to depart. He was met by
the latter, at the door of the apartment,
and shot down as above mentioned.
