FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER
WILLIAM B. FOSTER, JR,
OF BRADFORD COUNTY
CANAL COMMISSIONER.
The editor of the Gazette in referring to the pre
ceding' of the Railroad Meeting; says that "the Dem
ocratic candidate for Canal Commissioner, is suppo
sed to be apposed to the '!right of way." In reply
to this uncalled for insinuation against the democrat
ic candidate, we can say that Mr. Fosrsit, has
given the must solemn assutance to the ft iends cf the
measure that he had net . and that he sr mild not op
pose it—that be did not bowever.consider it his duty as
Canal Com'r., to interfere with legislation,unless
upon officially to communicate with the Legisla
ture. We hope, thetefare, that the editor of the Ga
zette will cutrect his statement.
GREAT FLOOD!
We are informed, says the Chumbersburgh Times,
of tho 16th inst.. that the Su;trehannts river is high
er than it has ever been known and the great flood of
water is sweeping all before it. On Saturday the riv.
er commenced rising very rapidly, and on Sunday
morning presented a most fearful prospect—the Clerks
Ferry bridge was moved by it, and rushed along the
impetuous stream taking with it the Harrisburgh
bridge, from the island to the town; and four new
spans of the Cumberland Valley Rail btidge, which
had been put up last fall.
On )esterday evening a train of cars arrived (tom
the Cumberland shore, by which we learn that the
g‘irs of the old bridge, from the island to Cumberland
side of the river were sinking.
The town of Harrisburg is almost surrounded with
water. The Cassel, it is thought, is very much injur"
ed; the Philadelphia Rail Road also.
is feared that the great quantity of ice, together
with the bridges, saw mills, &c. &c. which bate been
taken sway, will move the Columbia Bridge; although
it is very firmly built. We bees heard of no lives be
ing lost; but where such a calamity as this has hap
pened; it can hardly be supposed that it is uuatteuded
with lons of life.
Them has been no communication with Hatrisburg
from the Cumberland bank, since Saturday night; what
has been the effects of the flood in regard to the lives
of citizens, and properly, cannot I,e known until the
river i■ low enough to be boated.

THE OLDE.Ft TlME.—Queer people were GUr fore
fathers, and queer laws did they enact Among the
records of South Reading, Mass.. the following entry
is found under the date of 1662:
“This year the town ordered that no woman, maid,
boy no gall shall sit in the South alley of the meeting
'house, upon penalty of twelve pence fur each day they
shell sit in the alley after the present day. It was
further ordered that every dog that comes to the meet
ing. after the present day, either of the Lord's or
/ectute days; except it be their dogs that pay for a dog
whipper, the owners of these dogs shall pay six pence
for every time they come to the meeting.”

whose maiden name was Cornish, died recently in
Lee, Oneida county. At the time el her death, there
were living 12 of her children, eighty-fire grand chit•

descendants had died before her, making the whole

March 17, 1846.
Pursuant to the above notice a mass meeting of die
citizens of the Borough of Birmingham took place at
the public school house. The meeting wus organized
by calling Edward Ensell, Esq., to the chair, and S
Steel, Esq., was appointed secretary. The chair brief
ly stated the object of the meeting in a few pertinent
remarks, when the following resolutions were submit.
ted by Mr Phillips, and were unanimoudy adopted.
Resolutions of a much more violent character
were offered by Capt Welchem; which the meeting,
though much excited ,did not at this time think proper
to adopt.
Rejoiced, That the unfriendly course of Philadel•
phis, in legal d to the Right of Way to Pittsburgh, can
only be accounted fur by sinister interests operating pri
vately against the public good, nt by 15U1:11 blindness
to the true prosperty of the whole—as esti only rro•
coed from contracted vision.
Resuived. That the city of Philadelphia, assuming
to be the besot of this great Commonwealth, must be
denied that merit—becauste while she te,eives nutri
ment and sustenance tom every other portion of the
Stet; , she secret. ell within herself, not sends bw•k

The Pons, under the command of dames Berry, ass
at nechor nt K•ltinria for about twenty da)s before she
took on board the slaves, during a Lich time she sta.
closely watched by her Di stannic l'Oritetriv*• brig Cyr

morning of the 27th November the 'ygnet got under
way oral stood tome*. Immediately ferry gave up the
..hip to Gallon, who commenced getting oa board the
water, provision., and .laver; and so expeditious were
they in their movements, that at rigl.t u'eTta k thvt

tone hundred and three slaves. Instead ..andm,

five mile.. to the north of Kalondn, when they &nen,
eted the Cygnet in the offing. They immediately fir
•
led all their Milk, and shifted art 'l,lr the .hoer, that
the negroes lined the brash. in hopes of a shipwreck.
They continued in this situation moil met idtan, when.
finding they had not been discovered. they set their
lower sail. in order to clear the ore, and a. the
Cygnet drew off hem the lard, they afterwards net
their more lofty ones. Two days afierwolibt we rap.
tured her. l ler crew consisted of •Vpaniarde, Peru
gorse, Brazilians and 1100.0 from other countries, and
although continuing under the American flag with
probably American parts, not one American was O n
board.
As f could not d;•patch her the evening of her cap
lure, she kept company with us dint night. The next
morning I r e gretted to learn that eighteen tied tired.
and one jumped overboard. So many dying in short
a time was accounted for by the captain in the necessl•
tv he bad of thrusting below all who were on deck and
closing the hatches when he fir at fell in with U 4 in order
to escape detection.
TO, vessel has no slave deck, end upwards of eight
Lundred and fifty were piled, almast in bulk, on the
water-014kS below; these were males: about forty nr
fifty females were cot tined in oneritslf of the round-'
tierce cabin on deck, the ether Italia the cabin re
maining fur the use of tire officers. A. the ship appear
ed to be less thin three hundred and fifty tons, it seem•'
ed impoesible that one-half could been lived to cross
the Atlantic. About two hundred filled up the spar•
deck alone, when they were permitted to come up
Itorn below, and yet the captain assured site that it
',edits intention re have taken four hundred mere
on board if he could hove spared the time.
The stench from below was so great that it was im
possible to nand more titan a few moments near the
hatchways. Our men, who went below from cariosity.
were forced up sick in a few minutes; then all the
hatches were off. What must have been the suffer
ings of these poor wretches when the hatches were
closed? In SRI informed that very often in these cases,
the stranger will strangler the weaker; and this was
probably the reason why so many died, or rather were
found dead. the morning after the capture. None hut
an eye-witness can form a conception of the horrors
these poor creatures must endure in their it unlit across
the ocean.
I regret to soy that most of this misery is produced
by our own countrymen; they furnish the means of
conveyance in spite of existing enactments; and al
though there Sr. strong circumstances against Bery,
the late master of the ••Pons," sufficient to induce me
to detain him, 111 should meet with him, yet• I fear
neithet be nor his employers can be reached by our
present laws. He will no doubt make it appear that
the "Pons"-was beyond his control when the slaves
were brought on board. Yet, from the testimony of
the men who came over from Rio as passengers, there
is no doubt the whole affair woe arranged nt Rio be
tween Berry and Gallano before the ship sailed.—
These men state that the first place they anchored was
at Onin, near the river Lagoa, in the Right of Benin,
here they discharged a portion of their cargo, and re
ceived on board a number of kogsheads or pipes
Alled aria scaler. These were stowed on the gt ound
tier, and a tier of casks containing spirits were placed
over them. They were then informed that the sea•
eel was going to Kabindafor a load of slaves.
On thir arrival at the latter place, the spit it was kept
on board until a few days before Berry gave up the
command, covering up the watercasks in order to e
lude the suspicions of any cruiser. For twenty days
did Berry wait le the roadstead of Kabioda, prouteted
by the flag of bis country, yet closely watched by a
foreign man ofasitr, who was certain of his intention;
but the instant that cruiser is compelled to withdraw
for a few hours, he sprigs at the opportunity of en.
ricking himself and owner, and disgracing the ling
which had protected ; hint.
As we are short hooded, I shippe d hero- time'
much: to their gratification, who came coos as person
gers is the Pons, from Rio to Rebind., In order that
their testimony may betaken should Berry be in . the
U Son our return, and committed for trial. 1 have
landed the balance of the prize crew here, with the
exception of one who died of coast fever a gtw days
after he came on board this ship.
I have the honor to be sir, with much respect, your
obedient servant.

THE Citizens of Pittsburgh continue Lobe offered
an opportunity to effect insurance upon their prop
erty, by a Domestic Institution, located among them
selves, based upon Domestic Capital, and conducted
by Directors, in whose prudence, integrity and good
faith; .hey can readily ascertain, whether they may
repose that undoubted confidence and security, which
should ever attend an insurance transaction.
To persona whose property has, already, bean
dernaced, or destroyed, by Fire or Water, the adman
tage of personally adjusting a losa with an institution.
sr Hems, will be strikingly evident. To those who
suffered by the Great Fire, this particular corporation
needs no recommendation. This prompt payment of
the whole amount of its losses—NE.lll.r TWO II UND.

guarantee of future security.
It is the port of all prudent men, however fortunate,
to anticipate calamity for the purpose of avoiding its
effects. To such us have hitherto escaped. us well as
to those who have sustained loss, the facility of pro
tection and indemnity, offered by this institution, will
be the strongest inducement to avoid the reflections
and regrets which must be experienced by those who
suffer toil /iota hope of reslitution.
