It vrill be recollected that I^r.

T hepointhavingl deci^d by the |ine nnyjing through channel on the Canada side, the state au- thoriBed it to be sold and the proceeds to be appropriated tp the Canal fund. The purchasers on Piriday were few but were among the most spirited and en^ terprising in the state, and the Island, to gether with the small Islands which were valued at about §50,000, and by many su,p posed U) be valued too high brought sev entv-six thousand dollars. Two sites, and the most eligible sites for cities on the Island, were purchased for Mr. Noah, one^t the point facing Lake Erie, and con taining upwards of 1000 acres and the oth er containing about 1000 acres directly op posite the mouth of the Grand Canal, to* gether with Tonnewanta, Beaver ant Frog Islands—the whole amount of his purchase was about §20,000. Tonnewan ta Island containing 69 acres, and valuet afcS 12 dollars, sold for 140 0. . This may be considered as the last val uable possession owned by the state.— Lands are every where locating, particu larly on the borders of the Canal. Whether,|ifr. Noah may succeed in his laudable detigns in persuading his nation to emigrate to;*America, cannot at this time he foretold He has however, pur sued the object with great steadiness of purpose, which bears every appearance of confidence. It has been a matter of some known to be of strict veracity, was in this or two since, who ^ot only ers favoured spot, where, not only equal priv ileges await them, and a perfect freedom m their temporal and religious concerns, but every fitcjlity.of trade. Commerce, Majiufflctures, and Agriculture are at their command. It must arise from their Hav ing no knowledge of these advantages, and the presumption is, that when they are spread before them in a manner war ranted by facts, a disposition to see this chosen land will at least prevail. W e find the J e w i^ bankers in London, Paris,, Amsterdam, &c. making great loans to Mexico, Colombia'. Rio de la Pla ta, Chili—Loans for Mexican and other mining companies, to the amount of more than a hun^e^mUlion of dollars, besides continental loans. . Qnly ten millions of dollars judiciously invfested in the western district of our state, would realize a safe and golden profit, and give additional life and activity to that rich and flourishing section of our country. W e are all inter ested therefore in such representations of our actual condition, as Mr. N. may and will make to his friends abroad. There are sufficiept inducements for enterprising capitalists to build a city on Grand Island, it is within a miles of Lake Erie, hav ing the trade of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mich igan. and the great Lakes, together with Upper Canada, and the Northwest T erri tory. It is also within a few miles of Lake Ontario, commanding the trade of that lake and the markets of Montreal and Quebec—it faces the mouth of the canal, having a water communication direct with N. York; and is in every respect one of the most eligible and commanding positions in the state for a commercial city; the Ni agara river having fourteen feet water a- round the Mand, and the current near that spot vefy trifling. •In the rapfd settlements of this state it Was not to be expected that Grand Island could long have been overlooked ; and giving t6 Buffalo and Black Bock all the advantages of positipn, it will still consti place a day pr two emce, wno w t on. ronfitms the,statement made by that Pi pert imt goe^atill furthei;---declamg tha. le himself \^as an eyemtnest to the eyents which he rplates—^hat not only-stones, which are inyisible till they strike, enter the house, and like the locusts of .Egypt, infest the very “ kneading troimhs,” hut articles of fiirnit^re are suddenlj^ pushed iTom one end of the room to the other with incredible force- The family, annoyed m this manner for one or tw ^ a y s , removed from the house, but the evil followed them wherever they w e n t; and we understand that they have again returned home to a- bide the issue.

The first We name^ is that of an express, who passed thj:^ugh this place on Monday last.; Various are the conjec tures respecting him. Some supposed the government had become advised of a rising in the west of the Jecksonites to overturn the present administration, • an^ that this expres.s was sent on to propiti ate or take measures to put tliem down. Others supposed he was an express from the post-office department goingonto de tect some hiail robbery. This was strength ened by his being supplied with horses by the mail contraetjarsputhe route. Oth ers, more shrewAthnn all t|ie rest have pronounced that fc^ e;xpress is no other than an agent from some.mercantile hout.e or manufactory, huifrying to Tennessee to buy all the cotton, before the news of its rise can reach that section of thecountr}’.” W e leave these gue.ssers and their wom - dermen£,.to relate a marvellous tale that has come.to town, which is a greater tax on the public credulity than to believe any or all those conjectures put together. It is related, that some day last week and from sources invisible, the house ot Dr. McChensey, in the iTPor edge of Au gusta county, was a.ssailed with stones of various sizes, some of them hot as to hiss when they fell in w a te r; in broad day light, for several successive days, the visitation of these stones was repeated.— The windows o f the Doctor s house were all broken.—Some fell on the roof and bounded off, others entered through thick plank^atHiad been used to close up tht broken windows; that Mrs. McChensey’s family had become so much alarmed as to leave the house. At intervals these stone- visitations are said to be repeated. The house is represented as situated in an o- pen space, where it would be impossible tf. approach within stone throw without de tection. This account we have received from gentlemen of the first respectability, but who were not themselves eye witness es—^nor did they derive their information from those that stated they had. Superstitious fears are much excited in some that atribute these showers of stone^ to a supemajtJi^al cause. For ourselves.' We doubt not the faotise has been stoned, the vvindows broken, &c. but cannot think otherwise, at least for the present, than that it is the mischievous work of scm< persons (perhaps servants) about the house. cried otit ^ ‘ tain to fleav j hdise. . not ^ptain to ordCr,hMi^ft«:^^ier.

An extract, given below will be read with great interest. The details concerning the execution of Rogers, with whom ma ny of the citizens o f New'-York and this place w'ere acquainted, will at least afford this consola'-ion to his family and friends —that he died nobly professing the same love of freedom and abhorrence of tyran ny, that had ever marked his short, but gallant life. “ You may remember in one of rny let ters I mentioned an American by thenami^ ofJAMEs R ooehs , of New'-York, who I expected would lose his life for taking an active part with the revolutionists, and was condemned to death and recommen ded to the mercy of the Emperor, Pedro the first. The Emperor’s answer ariv- ed on the 2d of April, ordering that all that were condemned should be executed as soon as possible. This sealed the fate of this noble young man and two of his companions. The 12th inst. at 8 o’clock A. M. was the time appointed for the ex ecution of the three. This inhuman pro ceeding occasioned great distress to all the Americans in the place. Hia friends visited him on the llth inst. He was calm, pleasant; talked on lively subjects —maqe remarks oh people passing in the street p fa^ounted the time he bad yet to live ; it 22 hours be said “ it -was a short time t when it comes, I will die contented ; I and my companions die in a glorious cause.

They passed within a few yards of me—they were dreesed in white gowns, and walked unhound __ Rodgers walked with his arms folded and his head raised extremely high—as if proud of the glorious cause he was going to die for ; they arrived at the place of execution a- bout half past 7 o’clock, and held a long conversation with the Priests. At 8 o’ clock, they walked towards their seats. Rodgers took the middle chair, Nicolou on the right hand of nim, and Le Mont on the left; after sitting a few minutes they rose- Nicolou began and made a long and loud speech—R o g e rs followed, and then Le Mont. While one was speaking, the others bowed thpir heads to confirm the truth ofwhat said—their speeches occupied about half an hour—they then took their seats. Several times they a- rose and pushed their chairs into the sand to make them s t p d firm—the execution er then tied their wrists and ancles w i^ a small cord and drew caps over their eyes.
