BAH2tt5TABI.E t %VKl»MMl»AV ,.H;i.V O, IKS I. IVHTITl,'TION FOR HAVIN C1 S. It will l>c seen below , that " An Act to incorporate tlic Institution for Sav- ings in the town o f Uarn stablr ," was passed (luring the last winter session of the Legislature, and appr oved by the Governor. It is gratif ying to those who trul y wish the p ublic good, to observe the efforts which have been miule to seek and produce that good ;and it is equall y plea s- ing that those efforts have been crowned with success. We do not know of any private or sinister designs which could possibly operate upon the mind of any one, in the obtaining of an Act to incor- porate an Institution tike this, whi ch is tending bo immediately to the benefit of society, nnd more especially those who have not a sufficiency of cap ital lo engage in any vary active business. Long m;iy it flourish and be patronised by those for whom it was established. We see no- thing in th e Charter or Act of Incorpora- tion, which extends its benefits to other towns than this, and we know not , wheth- er a non-resident would be permitted to partake in its advantages or not , but hop e that the inhabitants of the adj oining towns shall be enabled to partake with wh the benefits. The first meeting, (as will be seen by advertisement ,) will be held this evening. Since writing t|m above, we have been informed by one of the Corporation , thai the benefits and advantages arising from this benevolent Institution , can be shared mid partici pated in by encb'nnd every per- son desiring, be they resident or not. An Act la incorporate the Institution f or Savings in the town o f Jtanistu- ble. Skc 1. HP. U enitrlr.il In/ the Hr.iinlr. nnd Home. itf lir.prKir.ntatiims, in (I niitritl.

[Approved by the liovernor, Jnmim v 20, J831.] Lj bkuty and EQUALrrv.—The Duk e of Saxe Wiemur , (says u London paper ,) travelling last summer in Philadel phia , drove out to visit Scliuy lkill Falls. The next morning, standit t '/ at tit** door of the hotel , hu was accosted by th e coachman in th e followin g apostroph e : " Are you the man that I drove in tho coach yester- day ? because I am tlie f ir.nllv.manwho drove you , and I have come to be paid." Very probably the editor of the Lon- don paper , is not all acquainted , with the true state of Society in thi s happy lan d. The stage driver was probably an awk- ward , illiterate fellow, as are many in the Western States ; but this is trul y a land where Liberty and L'qu ali ty reigns.— Kvcry man has his own best and dearest rights defended and secured to him by the laws ; and that fand/mgo mess of trumpe- ry, Kings , Queens, Dulcet, and Counts, are viewed in this country, by our sober citizens , as something that is trul y absurd and ridiculous. It h worth, not tillcH nor wealt h, that makes the man in the New Kng land States, at least in the view and estimation of the cool and reflecting, those who give st tone to public opinion. Tin e, there are parasites , who cringe and bow to wealth and office ; althoug h they are in the possession of those whom the public scorn and derision bus fastened up- on. And this London editor , will find ) (ere lie looks round him twice ,) that the castles , towers, and hi gh-sounding titles, are crumbling around him , and unless be is active , will bur y him in the ruins.

Y. Jour, o f Cum. The Comet nf 18:32.—Tho French j ournals have had much to say, these two years past, about the comet which is to make its apearancc 1S3J, 'I'he German jour nals beg in to amuse their readers with th e chimerical apprehensions , which the future appearance of this star may insp ire. Tht: fact isjlhat this comet mi ght approach the earth much nearer than it actuall y will approach it , without furnishin g the least ground for fear. It is known that in 1770,acomet approached within ~. r>0,00() leagues of the earth , about nine times the distance of the moon ; and those who are acquainted with astronomy hav e not for- got, that Lalandc has computed 13,000 leagues to be the distance at which a com- et could produce any sensible derange- ment of our system. The f«:ars,which these journals propagate, arise from this : that the comet of 1832 will pass near ihe or- bit of the earth (within 4 diameters and a half, thirteen or fourteen thousand leagues) so thnt , if the earth be at that point of its orbit which shall be for an in- stant , near the comet , some deranging phenomena may perhaps result ; but this case is far from possible for the year 18 J2. Piracy aid Murder.—The wreck (hat was towed in.o Sandy Bay on the 1 lth inst. proves lo be the schr liup id , Fisher , master , wich sailed ftom this port on the '28th of May.bound to Nassau , N.I' . From tho condition of the wreck , and the ap- pearance of a thoroug h search having been made for money, there can be no doubt that Mr , Curtis, tho owner , the captain and perhaps others on board were murd- ered by the crew. Wo subjoin the names of those on board at the time the vessel sailed Clun k's Cur- tis , owner and supercargo , of Now York; Joh n t'ishiM", master, of New \ oik , form- erly of IN'antucket ; John I'eltv , malt1, ol Nassau , N. I*, near <) feet high, dark comp lexion and stout hiult , about JX or : j fj years of n«;e; J ames Spencer , (Wack) cook , middling size, ordinary looking man imitit : !."¦ years ol ajjo , f» loot (> 1-2 inches li'ih. iniUuvi 'I'/j o/h/woh, seaman , about -!."> wars of ajje , .r» loot (> iuclu's stout itlilct ic looking man , florid comp le xion , li ^ lit brown hair , and bail' a prot ection us beiiiir a native of Massachusetts. But it is said am! believed that ho is a native of No w York. I'ohn Uoss, or Francis lloss—the latter is supposed to be the right name , about 2:5 or 2 1 years of a«o, about (iv« I'oetsix inches high,florid complexion , light brown hair , also hud a protection as being a native of Massachusetts, but it is said he is an F.nglishman , that his last voyage was out to Saint Baits and back in the bri g New York , and that pre- vious to that time lie had been in the Pen- itentiary—both sailors appeared to be welt acquainted and appeared to be well educated ; both had been on board of men of mar. Mr. Curtis was a native of Boston , but has resided in this city for about five years, be was a younsr man of most excellent character nnd amiable disposition , and will be a ^roat loss to his fiends. Capt Fisher has sailed nut 'of this port for a number of years, and has always sustained the character of a good seaman and an honest man. It will be seen by the above account,that there were only six persons known to be on board when the vessel sailed ? but if the five men who landed on Plum Island were those who comitted this atrocious act , it is apprehended the regular crew had accomplices concealed on board at the time.

K l'locnin" I' o.st. iiooic nutjor a Uo«uC !—A man \rlui called his name Brunson , said ho was Irom Xew York State ,was ol" middlin g hei ght , full, eyes and rather dark com- plexion , who boarded at the Rail Road Hotel , I'ond-stroet , kept by Mr. Haskell iibsco udod yesterday morning just before tin: alarm of lire. An eng in e-man who slep t iivthe same room got up to the fire missed bis boots , which wore nearl y ne w, :>iul found that Brunson was mine. On examination it appeared that B. hud got up, gone into the cellar under the kitch- en llience into the bar cellar , and throug h a trap door into the bar-room , where he toek about $I I in money and passed out iho way he came. All the clothing ho had with him was a short j acket , drab pantaloons , n surtout which did not set well ,some shirts &c. in a silk handker- fhiol , and the boots above mentioned. — Inquiry was made soon after, and it was found that he bail passed over Warren Bri dge, and meeting many people coming over to tho lirt> , turned- buck to tho city with tliem. A generous reward will be oaid for the arrest of llrunso:i. The newspapers in this vicinity benefit taverncrs ami others by publishing tho a- bove, as this mode of "robbery, may bo < a purt of his system.' $1300 has been paid the dog killers in New York. Murder.— It is stated in the Brid geton , N. Y. Observer that Sanders Powell was murdered in his own house at Leesburg, by one Win . Clark , who had slopped at his house over night on his return from a military muster. Powell came home from work at 1 o clock and requested hi* his wife to get bis dinner ; she told him he might get it himself. An altercation arose and the wife called on Clark to come down stairs,but he made no answer. Two young men who had come home to dinner, went away to avoid the clamor , and returning soon after , found P. on the bed, lifeless. His wife had gone to a nei ghbor's and Clark had absconded.— The woman has been arrested as an ac- cessary lo the murder and Clark is char- ted as princi pal. The Execution.—The two pirates Col- linet and Oadett were executed yesterday morning at half past S, on (he Jail wharf , pursuant to the sentence of the U. States Circuit court. The prisoners conducted themselves with becoming fortitude and were accompanied to the scalVold by tin: clergymen of their respective relig ions.— Th ey died without a strugg le and to ap- pearance without pain. A vast concourse of people assembled on the neighboring wharves and in boats opposite the plan: of execution. Wo are sorry to observe , ho wever , th at a number of females wen; among the crowd ,contrary to every feelin g of delicacy and prop riety. After tin: IjihI- ies had hung tho usual time they were removed to the Jail yard , where under the direction of Dr. Webster and in pre- sence of a great number r.f scienllic uj -ii- ili - men ' the power of tho d'alvanic Bil- tery was app lied with L'reat success.
