own State. From tho Trovidcncc Courier. Com. Elliott's coxdi'ct ox Lake Erik. There isnow in press in this city, a lecture delivered before the Rhode Island Historical Society, in 1836, by the Hon.

Trislam Burges, giving a graphic and beautiful description of the battle of Lake Erie, with a review of the conduct of Cant. Jesse I). Elliot, during the engagement. The lecture w. one of a series prepared by the author upon the maritinie history of Rhode Island, and the reference to Elliott was called forth by tho publication, at 'hat lime, of the famou.

autobiography 01 uio capumi oi uiu i. iai, lays a modest claim to the gratitude of the country, as tho hero to whom we arc indebted for the most brilliant page in our naval history. Tho recent publication of Cooper's Naval History, in which a most unworthy sttempt is made to depreciate the merits of Perry, has again aroused public attention'to the part which Captain Elliott took in the battle. Mr. Eurges has, at the urgent solicitation of many of our citizens, prepared a preface and an appendii lo the lecture, and placed it in the hands of the printer for publication.

The preface contains an account jf early efforts mado in Rhode Island to induce the Continental Congress to build and equip a national fleet, and to her belongs as he ha. shown the credit of having first conceived the project. ar.d urged it upon the attention of her sister colonies. The appendix contains comments upon Cooper's His tory, and a collection of interesting documents which place a seal npon the character of Com. Elliott, that will render it vain for him to remove.

Several of thesa document, have never been pnsented to the public among them i. the account of the action fr- tho log book of tho Lawrence, which was copied by an officer of that ship into his private diary, and was thereby preserved. The log book itself disappeared soon after Perry left the fleet, and the command of it was assumed by Elliott, and was never recovered. It also contained a minute detail by our townsman, Dr. Parsons, who rendered such efficient aid to the wounded in that bloody conflict, of what fell under hi.

The Associ. ation was formed in 1630, and has been in active existence nine years. It was established for tho purpose of enabling young men to acquire correct habit, of popular spcakiug, and a correct taste in literature. Of late years It lias been gaining in strength, and now comprises a great number of gentlemen of the city, some of whom are engaged in pro. fussional pursuits.

Thore can b. no doubt that such an Association, in a city like euri, may be made extensively useful. Indeed this Association, wo have occasion to know, Ins been source of very great pleasure and advantage, to those who havo been connected with it. A. it i.

now ia all respects well established, strong in numbers, and in every respect well calculated to add to the Literary resources of our city, wa take pleasure in di. rccting the attention of our citizen, toward it. We understand that it i. tho intention of the Association, to enlarge the scope of its action, and perhaps during the winter afford to our citizen, a course of Public ffthe Lyceum owing to lato occurrences, i. debarred from giving it.

Lawless Outrage. The following account is from tho Salem Whig, of Indiana. Vinccnncs is an old and popu. Ions town, where the law has been known long enough lo be respected. It is unsafe to live in a country where uch villainy and cruelty can go unpunished.

A Baptist clergyman and a Methodist classlcader had become odious to a portion of the citizens of Vincenne, on account of their extraordinary zeal in the cause of aboii. tiomsm, and were warned to have the place; this wa done, but in the night, a mob pursued them and came upon them, about six miles from Vincenne, and ruflian-like dragged tlie husbands from the bed where Iheir wives were shrieking with terror and alarm, and drove them back to Vincennca, although the unhappy prisoners only begged the miserable alternative of being taken to fields near by where they expressed a willingness to sutler ail llieirDrutai captor, intended to inflict. After reaching Vinccnncs one of them was rode on a rail until almost dead, and then tarred and feathered and turned loose. The other had first a piece of iron tied to Ins feet, and was then placed in the Watadi ruer in water up to his chin, where he was suffered lo remain until mom. ing and Uion taken out and tarred and feathered.

Seve.e Gale. It is unnrccrssary to inform otir read, crs that a severe gale of wind has taken place along our coast.

But we have strayed a long way from (juincy. The nnrseryof vomig trees at Qnincy, is contained in a strip of land fmced off from the orchard, about a thousand feet in length, and 40 or 50 wide.

Boston Eve.

Gazette. From the N. Y. Evening Post. The spot which has lately been purchased for a Ccmc.

tery on Long Island near Gowanus, and which has rcceiy. ed the name of the Green Wood is one of the most beautiful situations that can be imagined, certain, ly one of the most beautiful in the neighborhood of thia city. Il seems almost impossible to compriso a greater number of picturesque points and striking combinations of the elements of scenery in the compass of two hundred acres, which is the extent of the grounds. Scarcely any one who visits it but will agree that it is almost too bcauti. ful a spot to be given up to the dead.

A larirn nronortion of the surface is covered with trees and shrubbery of luxuriant foilage, and in mine places of very dense growth, among wincn winning carriago to are now making. But there are open space, surrounuca of cedars and other trees from which you have sometimes a view of the city of New York, sometimes of the haibor of Statcn Island, sometimes ot tlie cliarnnng village of l'latbiish, and sometimes of the Atlantic Ocean. From an eminence, which we should judge to be the high. est point of land on the west end of Long Island, you have a prospect or the harbor and ol mo Aiiannc ai uiu same time. The surface is finely diversified with hills and hoi-lows, and in one of tho latter is a deep little lake, lying in the midst of a thick growth of forest trees and shrubs, tho verdure of which touches the very water.

It lies so quiet, ly within tho high hanks and the sheltering forest that the wind can scarcely descend to agitate its surface, so that it presenrs a perpetual mirror to the luxuriant vegetation around it. Its sleeping and unruffled waters will agree with the silence and repose of the grave. 1 he soil is well adapted to excavations, and the building of tombs, by its sloping surface and its dryness. The path, which work. men are cutting throuch it in various directions are well planned to bring out the picturesque beauties of the place.

It has already become a favorite drive for carriages on a fine afternoon to cross at the South Ferry and pass an hour or two in threading the maze, of roads through the thickets of the cemeterv. Among the rhruhs is a profusion ofror-nus florida or dogwood, with many azaleas, which in the spring will make the grounds a wilderness of flowers. The idea of making places of interment safe from the encroachments of the spirit of trade, bv placing them with, out the great cities, and by the beauty of their situation and arrangements, is taken np in earnest in more than one place in this country. The people of Boston set tho example in opening the cemeterv at Mount Auburn, and the Baltimore papers speak of the situation of their Green Mount CYmetorv, a new undertaking, in the highest terms. The persons who have engaged in laying out and opening the Green Wood Cemetery have not done so with any view of making a profit, for their plan is siirh as to preclude that entirely, and the proceeds of the sales, after paying the original price of the land, arc to be employed in bcauti.

fying the spot. Montgomery, in his World before the Flood," has given an agreeable picture of what he imagines to have been the burial place of the patriarchs. It has one Mo ravian peculiarity, the absence of monuments. We quote the lines: A scene sequestered from the haunts of men. The loveliest nook of all that lonely glen.

Where weary pilgrims found last repose; The little heaps were ranged in comely rows. With walks between by friends and kindred trod Who dressed with duteous hands each hallowed sod. No sculptured monument was taught to breathe Hit praises whom the worm devoured benrath; The hieh, the low, the mighty, and the fair, in death, were undistinguished there Yet not a hillock mouldered near that pot, Byone d.shoncrrd or by all forgot To some warm heart the poorest dtis was drar. From some kind ryo the meanest claimed a tear And oft the living, by affection led. Were wo, alk in spirit with the dead.

Where no dark cypres, cast a doleful gloom. No blighting yew shed poison o'er the t.milt. Put, tilnlc and red with intermingling flowers The graves looked beautiful in Kin and Green myrtb-s fenced it. and beyond their bound Ran the clear riil wilb ever murmuring sound Tn-as not a scene for Grief lo nourish care-It brratlied of Hope, and moved the heart to prayer."

Mr. Meade and two men remained in charge of the prize, while Mr. Porter, with four others, went ashore to arrest the leader, and Ins accomplices, ho were on the beach. On their approach the blacks I. sped into the boat, and pulled toward Ihe schooner, when Mr.
