« MELANCHOLY POINT” IN IN.
DIA. .
A young officer in the army, having
married a lady in England, was or-
dered a short time aftei wards to pro
ceed to India with his regiment, while
the lady’s relations or the gentleman's
own circumstances, would not permit
her accompanying him, They were
therefore foro to scperate, and he
proceeded to Bengal. A correspon-
dence was carricd on between them
for some years ; and at length he per-
suaded her to undertake a voyage to
India, which she ‘accordingly did, and
arrived safe at Sangur roads. He was
at this time stationed in the fort ; and
on the very day of her arrival in the
Fivery was seized with a fever of the
country, which terminated his exist-
‘ence before his wife, and a fine child,
the pledge of their mutual affection.
‘could reach the place where he lay!
On her coming into the fort and be-
holding her husband’s corpse, she fell
into a state of ioscnsibility, which was
succeeded by that of melancholy, and
in six weeks she followed her husband
to the grave | during the period of
her decline, she used to go out every
day and sit some hours on the neck of
land on which the fort is situated,
weeping over her child: hence it ac-
quired and still retcins, the name of
« Melancholy Point.”

ans, by means of picklocks keys, who
broke open a room and stole bank
notes, gold and silver coins, watches
and plate, worth in the whole about
200 pounds. Having carefully pack-
ed up their booty, they descended to

some back premises, but were obsery-

From the St. Louis Enquircr.
A gentleman who had occasion tc
visit the capital of Texas states thai
on his departure from Nacogdoches,
he found the American settlements to
continue for about 15 miles on the
great road leading from the seat of
government ; and to his astonishment
on his return, which was in a month
he met the advanced posts of these
settlements at least seventy miles in
the interior ! However: these settle-
ments were the first habitations of men
he had seen, in travelling a distance of
nearly five hundred miles. The old
Louisiana road through the country is
still discernable, though there is not
the least sign of the abode of a civiliz
cd being forthe whole way afier the

order of the cortes establishing a port

A DRUNKEN CLERGYMAN
The congregation at St. Sepulchre’s
church was disturbed during divine
service on Sunday last by the inde-
cent behaviour of a drunken man who
made bis way into the church, and
was with some difficulty taken eut by
the Pike, one of the beadles and lodged
'n the compter, ;
When brought up yesterday to an
swer for his misconduct before Mr.
Alderman Cox, he was recognised as
a regularly ordained clergyman of the
church of England and not long since
a popular preacher at a very respect-
able episcopal chapel at the west end
of the town, where he was for many
years the established minister. He
married the daughter of a backer of
the greatest respectability, by who
he has a lovely family, all of whom
by have his unhappy passion for liquor
been reduced to the utmost distress,
and are now by his own description,
destitute both of food and raiment-—
The only visible means of support he
at present possesses 1s an allowance
of some kind from the navy of be tween
50 and 60 pounds a year. This pit

From the Village Record,
shad in Ohio.
There is no fact which we publish
this week, more intersting and exe
traordinary, than the appearance of
lin the Obio river. No insiance
we believe, has before occurred of
that fish being tak in the western
waters. It is probable, we think, that
the numerous obsiructions placed in
our eastern riy for the purpose of
‘improving the gavigation and for mills
have driven them to the necessity of
ecking new haunts and more eligible
places to deposit their young. Many
years ago, shad were abundant in our
Brandywine, but nene have appeared
nit for a long time. The salmon
were so abundant twenty-five years
ago In the Connecticut river, that the
fishermen wouldsiot sell an hundred
shad unless the purchaser would take
a reasonable proportion of salmon at a
few coppers a pound. 1 well remem

delicious fish is now no longer known
in those waters, Perhaps they may
make their appearance in the Ohio &
Mississippi. In Lewis and Glark’s
Journey to the western ocean, they
speak of the abundance of salmon take
en near the Rockey mountain, in the
Columbia river. Would it be possible
[or is the distance top great] to bring
some bf them across and place them
inthe hcad streams of the Missouri ?
