Bth inst. and rose on the morning of the succeeding Saturday, having previously disposed of all the cases upon the dock et, except a very few, in which the par ties were not prepared for trial, The continued docket of cases is very light in deed, compared with that of any former term of this Court for the last fourteen years. It is due to the present Court tol say, that the vagy limited number of cau ses now remaining upon its docket is al together attributable to the intelligence, tact for business, and indefatigable per severance of the Court, ‘ Prosrecrs or Newrorr, We rejoice to learn that a number of our enterpris ing and wealthy citizeng, are about erect ing a couple of steam factories for manu facturing cotton cloth, The situation of Newport, and cheapness of real estate, afford a most decided preference to this place over any other in the State for the location of manufactories of any dcscrip-: tion. When these factories shall be es tablished, and several new ships, as is now in contemplation, added to our list of whalers, we may confidently hope that Newport will exhibit that scene of busy | employment, which she was accustomed once to do. It may not be amiss here to state that most of the boarding houses in this town have been enlarged and fitted up invery handsome style, for the recep tion of our southern friends and other! strangers who usually resort here in the summer season, a great number of whon we learnhave alrcady secured accommo dations for themsclves and families. l We hove served up a pretty ample dizh of poli-' ties for our friends this week, as will be seen by reference to our political head. Although the room it occupies has precluded the insertion of con siderable miscellaneous variety already in type, still we entertain no doabt but that it will be pal atable to our readers generally, 1 “Those who have glass windows,”” &e, ' The Jackson papers in this State have commenced a great outery against Mr, Clay’s friends, calling them federalists, Hartford Convention men, and vaiious other hard names, While we are con strained to pity those who are compelled to resort to such miserable electioneer ing as this, we would ask these pure and immaculate republicans, who call such men as Gov, Collins and Stephen B. Cor nell, &e. federalists, if they are ignorant of the fact, that Jeflrey Hazard, the as piring old gentleman from Exeter, whois now in nomination for Licutenant Gover nor in the Jackson prox, is one of the re-| al old fashioned federalists, whoese urdcut; devotion to the federal party, “in the times that tried men’s souls,”” was the only means of first bringing him into né tice. Afterthe feclings of party subsided, Mr. H. was permitted to retire into pri vate life, for as a Judge of the Supreme Court, an oflice which he held for seve ral years, the Legislature weighed himin the balance many yecars ago, and he was found wanting. This same old gentle man has lately been drawn from his re tirement, new varnished over, and oll'er-l ed to the freemen of Rhode-Island as one of the old Jeffersonian school. So much for the pure republicanism of the Jackson candidate for Lieut.-Governor,' to say nothing of the rest of the prox. i Thie Jacksox Corrusronpence.—We commenced two weeks ago the pul)licn-? tion of this novel and in some respects in teresting correspondence, between the President, Vice-President, &e. with a promise to continue it in every succeed ing number until entirely finished.—We were at that time under the expectation that what we then had before us compris ed the whole of that correspondence— but we now find that the quarrel between those gentlemen was even then progress ing, and is still progressing—we are, therefore, compelled to suspend at least for the present, the further publication of this voluminous controversy, which, after all, has merely for its object, the personal aggrandizement of those two worthy gen tlemen. . Ture Newrort Busnnay Scuoon Usiton, held its annual meeting in the Rev. Mr. Beecher's meeting house, on Monday evening last. There was present at the meeting, a large number of the most respectable part of this eommunity; and the whole proceedings were caleulated 1o inipress most deeply upon their minds, the importance and grow ing utility of that modest and unpretending institu tion, the ““Sabbath School.” We were so unfor tunate as to he necessarily deprived of the privilege of being present on that occasion, and of witness ing the exhibition of talent displayed by the gen teman who addressed the meeting in favor of the object which that society has <o constantly had in view.

I E From the Boston Mer. Adv. of Saturday last. ‘ Mu~iciear Covrr—March Term, 1831, | Among the numecrous indictments re turned yesterday by the Grand Jury was one against Paine Dowxes, for steal ‘ing a trunk and its contents from off’ the back of a stage passing at the southerly part of this city, the property of James Stevens, Isq. who is engaged in the topographical survey of this Common wealth, | I The prisoner plead guilty to the indict ment, and the facts disclosed to the Court (digplayed a reckless destruction of prop ety scarcely ever equalled in the histo ry of crime, | . In the trunk stolen by the prisoner were all the papers containing materials for protracting the map of this State, and| ‘a manuscript map of Rhode-Island with ‘the Indian names carefully collected; a’ bond for $2000; deeds and other papers, ‘evidence of title to a large tract of land in Carolina; with notes, accounts and vouchers to a large amount, all ot which ‘the prisoner and his confederates burnt, to conceal the evidence of his offence.’ Besides these, there were several math ‘ematical mstruments and parts of others, of great value, which, with the same de sign, the prisoner broke up, to sell the metal for old brass and silver. The on ly profit which the prisoner attempted to secure, in addition to the few cents pro cured from the materials of these nice and expensive instruments, was by the ‘sale or wear of the clothing contained in’ ‘the trunk, part of which was found on his ‘person at the time he was arrested. The loss to Mr. Stevens, is irreparable. In dictments are pending against the ac complices of the prisoner, from whom, hhowever, the injured party cannot derive any compensation, ; ' The prisoner is a young man, not quite 20 years of age, and had formerly been ‘considered a quiet and industrious lad, but an unfortunate connexion into which he was led with an abandoned female & a circle of vicious companions, through whose instrumentality such connection ‘was formed have led him to desperate ‘courses, and this wanton destruction of property has been the consequence at once ruinous to himself and disastrous to the respectable gentleman who was so ‘unexpectedly the sufferer, | Navy Provorions. | Masters Commandant Wm.

I HERALD OF THE TIMES. From the Providence American of yesterday. l Mar or Ruone-IsLanp.—We noticed ‘the other day, the loss sustained by Ma. Jor James Stevens, of Newport, in Bos. 'tun, his trunk having been stolen from the stage. We regret to learn that among ‘his valuable papers, which the thief de- Istroycd,was the manuscript map of Rhode ilsldnd, upon which he has devoted such assiduous attention. Fortunately the Imap had been entirely traced upon the ‘copper plate, except the names of places, ‘&c. These Major Stevens had collected ‘with great care; and his business to Bos ton was, in part, to have them traced on the plate, which would then be complete to give the impression. Mr. Stevens is Inllowcd by act of the General Assembly, auntil July next, to complete the publica tion of his map. He will now have to collect all the names of places, &e. which have been lost. T'o aid in this very de desirable object, he has forwarded to us several proof impressions of the map, ‘without names of places, §e, If any gen tleman will aid in this objeet, he can be furnished with that portion of the map, which he may be disposed to fill. Every citizen ought to fecl an interest in restor ing to Mr. Stevens, what it cost him so ‘much labar to procure in the first instance, The minuteness with which this map s traced, exceeds any thing of the kind, on s 0 large a scale in the United States, | A map of the World is to be published on the 20th inst. at Philadelphia, by Mr. Tanner, who, it is stated, has been at great labor in preparing it, It is said to be beuutifully executed, and to con tain mueh o reccommend it to the public.
