re Of the Persons attached to the american Brig Charles Daggett of Salem, Mass., by the Natives of the Fejee Is- lands. This ocearrence took place at the Island of Kan davo, or Cantab, of which Island Vendovi was head chief. The brig Charles Daggett was on a trading to these Islands, and had erected large house on shore for the purpose of drying and curing Beach le Mar, an article in great de- mand in the Bast Indies. The Captain’s name was Batchelor, and the chief officer's was Charles Ship- man. Fifteen persons were on shore, attendiag to the curing of the Beach le Mar. On the 8th Sept., 1834, the brig’s boat came on board to procure sume medicine for one of the natives. On the boat being ready, the Captain went to the gangway, with the intenticn of going on shove, but was repeatedly told Irishman (a Botany Bay convict, who has re- sided at the Islands a long time,) named Patrick O’Connel, that he had better not go, but without as- signing any reason for his caution. Capt. Batchelor therefore declined going, when Mr. Shipman said he would go, although he was told he had better not. He persisted, however, in going. The boat did not land at the usual place, but was landed some distance above the Beach le Mar, a thing unusual. The mate and men, except one (who took the boat on board the vessel) left the boat; and Mr. Shipman taking the medicine, they proceeded to- wards the Beach le Mar house, where he met Ven- dovi and several natives. Vendovi took him by the hand, with every semblance of friendship. “When Mr. Shipman arrived at the house, he perceived a great number of natives assembled, and at the in- stant of turning into the doorway he was seized around the body and arms by Vendovi, and held fast. Before he had an opportunity to say a word he was clubbed by the rest of the natives, Vendovi giving orders to murder all hands, when an indiscri- minate slaughter took place. The men in the house, with the exception of those who were up upon the racks, ran out at the other end of the house, hoping to reach the boat, not knowing that she had returned on board, when all were murdered with the exception of a few Tahiti men, who being good runners and swimmers, reached the vessel. Or- ders were then given to fire the house, which was instantly done; after it had been burnsng a short time Vendovi remarked that they were all dead, and they would now divide the plinder, which was secreted ina cave.

They say that the American Academy was endowed by sub- scription with about $8000, and in 1825 it amounted to nearly $15,000 Now, observe, the difficulties began just at this time seventeen years ago. Thisis their own statement. They now discover that the directors of the A. A. are not competent to manage their own affairs. It required the superior judgment and wisdom of artists to conduct it for them. The truth is, they wanted to obtain the $15,000; and because the di- | rectors differed from them in opinion, they have not iven to this day. to neglect to state that this “ miserably conducted” institution was established upon the li- beral principles of allowing all students free access at all times during the day, who had the use of the choice collection of statuary to draw trom, and the study of some of the best works of old masters, many of them from the gallery of Joseph Bonaparte, and the cabinet of rare books and paintings, presented by Napoleon Many of the leading men of the National had the advantage of the use of these works, without money though so bitter in their denunciations of ademy.

They are closed day and night the year round, excepting winter evenings, which is the only opportunity that the students can avail themselves of—they soon get a full school, which speculation pays very well The pupils, after spending considerable money and two or three winter seasons, begin to think it time to painta pieture ; but, alas! they have been taught the use of the crayon only. The next enquiry is, how are they to proceed ? and the answer is go to Mr. M., or Mr. I., or Mr. W., and give them a pre mium of 400 or $500, and they will teach you the art. The student now awakes, and the scales fall from his eyes, and he finds he must pay roundly (if able) to acgnire a knowledge of the profession. No- thing daunted, he spends two or three years more of his time, and then makes his first bow to the pub. jie with a picture. In afew years more he becomes but without any apparent effect.

Now let us ask this same publie (those who have had the oppor- tunity) to compare these exhibitions, year after year, as we have, and see what has been done ; compare the present with any of the former, and the result will give an unequivocal answer. Improve- ment, indeed! The best that can be obtained from their seventeen years of labor will not compare with the works of Trumbull, Stuart, Jarvis, Vanderlyn, Sully, Allston, and a host of others who flourished before their institution was in existence.

He gazed at it for some time, and finally sat down and burst into tears; he, soon, however, made himself reconciled to his lot, and was seldom or never heard to complain, but always evinced a desire fer a speedy arrival in the United States. When his sickness assumed a dan- gerous character he gave up all hopes, and said he should never see America, for his Great Spirit had appeared to him. From that time he sank, and it was hardly expected that he would live until we got in, which he did, however, and no more; for the day afterwards he died. ck part of the left and upon ascertaining that it was not fatal, Mr. Marshall insisted on having another shot, re- marking, at the same time, that Col.

Col, Wedd, while reclining in the arms of hisfriends, said that he had not then, nor had he ever had any unkind feeling towards Mr. Marshall. This, however, was not sail to Mr. M., nor was it officially communicated to him, and the parties left the ground, with, apparently, the same hostile feeling with which they met upon it.

We have not yet received from Newport our report of yesterday’s proceedings, but we learn thet the committee | to whom were referred the petitions for a constitution, ex- tending the right of suffrage and equalizing the represen: tation to the General Assembly, have reported a bill call- ing a convention for that pury It provides for extending the right of voting for dvle- sates to the convention to all Amaticas born citizens, resi- dent three years inthe State and one year in the town in which they offer to vote. It was supposed that the bill would pass, and that the General Assembly would rise to-day. Since the above was in type we have received {rom Com. Comstock and Gaptain Gladding, of the steamer Massachusetts, the following additional in- telligence, which is of an important character. Governor King left Providence last Thursday in the Massachusetts for Newport. He has ordered | all the militia of the State to proceed to Providence. Steamer Providence would take the troops from Newport, Bristol, Warren, and other towns, so that at least 3000 men were expected to be under arms in Providence on Friday. They were to march with- out delay to Chepachet, the head quarters of Dorr and hissword. Providence was placed under mar- tial law last night. The Charter Assembly adjourned on Friday from Newport, to re-assemble at Providence at its next session. Before adjourning, it authorised the vernor to place the whole or any part of the State under maitial law. It also passed an act, calling a Convention of the people ef the State, for the pur- pose of forming a new Constitution. The election of Delegates to the Convention isto take place on the last Tuesday of August, and the Convention is to assemble at Newport on the 2d Monday of September. (From Providence Chronicle, June 24.) Our community remain in the same state of agitation, alarm and uncertainty. A strong patrol were on duty through the night, and we hear of nothing transpiring. Our advices from Chepachet are up to early this morn- Jon Abs insurgents then numbered about five hundred, and were hourly increasing. They had not, as yet, of- fered any violence to the surrounding neighborhood, but the farmers were much agitated ana very justly alarmed. The Dorrites have evacuated Woonsocket, and pro- ceeded to the camp ground at Chepachet. Wagons loaded with muskets were passing over the roads from this place, bound to Chepachet. Muskets to the number of one or two hundred, reached Chepachet yesterday, from Boston, having been purchased there by the insurgents, ‘We understand that orders have been issued for the mi- litary throughout the State to hold themselves in instant readiness for farther orders, and that # portion of the com- panies may be expected to take up their line of march for this city this afternoon.

It goes on the table (sa matter of course, but there can be no doubt of ts acceptance by the Senate. A joint resolution, oroviding for the payment of a sum of money now ia the Treasury to Pettrick, the sculptor, was read a third time end passed. Itisin part payment for is labors in preparing a pedestal, &c. for the statue of Washington. The bill to change the commence- ment of the fiscal year, was read a third time and passed. The claims arising under the Dancing Rab- bit Creek, was taken up and debated until Mr. Ev- ans got out of patience and moved its postponement. The little tariff bill was then called up and Mr. Rives made a strong and conclusive argument against the distribution feature. He showad most indubitably, that the distribution bill could never have become a law without the limitation clause —that the whigs were pledged to permit dis tribution to be suspended whenever the du- ties exceeded twenty per cent—that this was a vital, integral, and inseparable portion of the bill. The debate was continued to a Jate hour, when a motion to strike out the proviso was lost bya tie vote—21 to 21. The billwas then amended on a motion of Mr. Evans to suspend distribution until the Ist of August, and passed by one majority. After some unimportant morning business, the House went into committee of the whole, and took up the private bill calendar, upon which a couple of hours were spent, when the consideration of the Navy appropriation bill was resumed, and debated until the hour of adjournment. Rumors are still rife of changes in the Cabinet, but there is nothing just now worth repeating. Baitimore, {Correspondence of the Herald.) Battimone, June 25, 1842. Mx. Eprror,— The next news we expect to hear fromthe east is an ac- count of a duel letween the Hon. Tom Marshall, of Ken- tusky, and Col. Webb, of the “Regular Army,” or rather ofthe Courier and Enquirer. It is presumed that the fight either hay, or will take place, at Newport, Delaware, or at Elkton, in Maryland. Certain it is, however, that Marshall and his friends (brother from this city, and others); as also Webb and his friends, wore at Wilming- ton, Delaware, yesterday.

Tue Earraquaxe.—It has been satisfactorily as- certained, that the extraordinary agitation of waters observed on the 7th of May in many parts of Missis- sippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia, was caused by an earthquake. Yet no other evidence of such a phenomenon was perceived except in Attakapas, where a slightshock was felt. It will be recollec- ted that the terrible disaster in St. Domingo oc- curred on the same day. Important Exp: tox,—Lieut. Fremont, of the corpso! Tepegreies Engineers, left here under orders from the War Department, about ten days ago, with a party of 20 men, on atourto the Rocky Mountains. The object of ie expedition is an examination of the country between e mouth of the Kanzas and the head waters of the great viver Platte, including the navigable parts of both these tivers, and of what is called the Southern Passin the Rocky Mountains, and the intermediate country —' e view to the establishment of a line of military posts from the frontiers of Missouri to the mouth of the Columbia ri- ver. This expedition is connected with the proposition now before Congress, to occupy the territory about Co. lambia river, as proposed by Dr. Linn’s bill. The great River Platte is the most direct line of commu- tion beween this country and the mouth of the Colum. and that route is known to be practicable and easy ; it therefore becomes important to ascertain the general cha- racter of that river and the adjacent country, and the fa- cilities it will be likely to afford in Persians the con- templated settlements in Oregon. This Southern Pass, or jepression in the Rocky Mountains, is near the source of the extreme western branch of the River Platte, and fords an a6 passage for wagons and other wheel carri ges, which have Gitta oth passed overthe Mount: upon that route, without difficulty or delay ; and it is portant that the latitude of this point should be ascertain. ed, as it is thought that it will not vary much from the line established between the United States and Mexico, b the treaty with Spain of 1819, If this Pass should. fall south of that line (the 42d Tec of north latitude), i may become decessary to examine the conntry north of it: the line of the Yellowstone, and sonth branch of the Columbia, would, it is thought, afford the next best route. Lieutenant Fremont, though young, has haa much ex- perience in surveys of this kind, having made the ‘Topo- graphical survey of the Des Moines river, and having os. sisted the scientific Mr. Nicollet in his great survey of the country on the Upper Mississippi. He is well supplicé with instruments for making astronomical observations ; for fixing the latitude and longitue of important points, and a Daguerreotype apparatus, fortaking views of im- portant points and scenes along the route; and if not ob- structed in his operations by large bands of wild wander. ing, Indians, wh ich sometimes trouble small parties pas- sing through that region, may be expected to impart much valtable information to the p+ Roce Ling and to the coun- try.—St. Louis Reporter, June M4.

Moorhead, cousin of the Senator from this State, for about fifteen minutes, in the most masterly strain I have ever heard, in the vindica- tion of Capt. Tyler; after which Thos. Bell, Esq., spoke a few minutes, showed the inconsistency of Mr. Clay and his worshippers; after which, it was unanimously Resolved, That the capa pressure of the times, the scarcity of money, the low prices of produce, imperative- ly demand that Congress should establish a sound curren- cy, on the plan proposed by the Secretary of the Treasu- 2d. Resolved, That Captain Tyler, by his firm and in- dependent conduct as President, has won for him the gre. titude of every true American citizen. After which, it was Resolved, That the Hon.C. A. Wickliffe be invited by this committee, in behalf of the citizens of Kentucky, to become a candidate for Governor of this State in 1844. After which the meeting adjourned. JOS.

At the opening of the Board this morning stocks were heavy, but atthe close, they became more brisk. Prices, however, showed 9 decline from those of yesterday. Har- lem fell 1}; Delaware & Hudson } ; Indiana 5’s j ; Illinois }; Long Island}; New Jersey 1; Mohawk } Farmer’s Loan | per cent. Sales of New York State 7 per cents were madeat 3 premium, being a decline of ¢ per cent. New York State stoces have all been on the decline since the closing of the books, and the rates have fallen nearly 3 per cent including the dividend, which is 1} per cent.— Most descriptions of stock are looking down, and the cause may be found in the disgraceful condition of the na- tional finances. While the revenue question is unsettled, there can be no revival of business, and the gloom which such a state of things casts over all monied operations is sufficient reason for inactivity in sales. Charles Stebbins, Esq., Tate of Madison County, and formerly Bank Commissioner, wat unanimously elected President of the Farmer’s Loan and Trust Company, at « meeting of the Boarit of Directors held on the 294 instant. The Company has derived much advantage from recent measures vigorously prosecuted to recover tome of ite doubtful debts. The interested brokers, opposed to this work of reform, have heen actively engaged in endeavor: ing to depreciate the stock in consequenc: ‘The Ist of July is rapidly approaching, when the com- promise act will be completed and the distribution laws go into operation according to existing acts. Ja regard to the revenue laws eminent men are divided in opinion as tothe power of the Government to collect any revenue without special enactments after the 30th of June. Jt has been stated, however, that the President feels fully autho- rised to prescribe rules for collection. Under such cir- cumstances, however, the matter will undoubtedly be contested, and the revenues suffer largely in consequence. The distribution will take effect on the Ist of July, nomi- nally however, because there is no funds ia the Treasury todivide, and the distribution will follow the fourth in- stalment of the old act, which was never paid over. It is very evident that the States will never get the money and the gripe of the epeculators will never close over the le- gitimate funds of the Treasury. The opinion seems te be entertained that the new manner of assessing duties ac- cording to their value at the port of entry, instead of on their foreign cost, would make the 20 per cent duty about equal to that now levied. That isto ay the freight, ex. penses, charges, sec., on which the duties are now to bo cast, will be about equal to the three tenths per cent which are to come off, consequently that the effect upon the re- venue will be the same as if the present state of things were tobe continued. The ability of the different collec- tors to levy goods in this manner, is however a matter of Cou unfortunate condition of the Alavama currency sanonly be equallc’ by the blind infatnation of the pon- yle who continue to recelve the worthless entissions of in- olvont banks in payment of pro‘uco and goods.
