A letter from Paris, of 27th May,

says:?
" The royal bounty has not been

of the interior to present to him the .
report, upon which he had recently I

rVeam*Boat Incident*?An occur
rence of a singular nature took' place
on l>oard the new horse-boat at the
ferry between Fulton-street and
Brooklyn, on Sunday evening last,
which we state by way of caution.
One of (he persons on hoard thought
-proper to tii*e off a skyrocket while
the IwMit was uuder way on the river,
which frightened the horses* anil by
aMiddten exertion a block was started;
ami the w ater wheel thrown out of
geers. The boat immediately lost
her headway, and the horses, reliev
ed of their accustomed load, started
in full speed. In this situation the
boat was fast drifting towards Gov
ernorVlsland, and attempts to clieck
the horses had proved fruitless. At
lenght one of the horses foil, and
was dragged several Jimes round
the circle, and the others were final
ly brought tinder subjection. No in
jury was experienced, except by the
poor horse, who is on the recovery.*
Brutal Suicide.?Yesterday a mad
Bull made his escape from an enclo
sure at Brooklyn, near the Turnpike
Gate, and ran with great Airy down
the main street, overturning every
thing in his way. - When' he readied
the ferry he made a plunge at a man,

is ittcommand with several companies
of tlie regiment. *
j Col. Atkinson's regiment, 6th in

* Western Engiueer anchored
at the upper end of the town, -where
she yet lies. In passing tlte' Inde
ndence and St. Louis, then at an
chor before tHe town, she was salu
ted by these vessels.
A description of this beautiftil lit
tle boat has been given to the nnblic.
We remark, however, some further
particulars which deserve to be no
ticed. The kor of the vessel ex
hibits tlVfc form of a huge serpent,
black ami scaly, rising out of the;
water from wider the Iwat, his liead
as high as the deck, darted forvflllrd,
his mouth open, vomiting gfQoke,
and apparently carrying the boat on
his back. From under the I mat, at
its stern, issues a steam of foaming j
water, dashing violently Along. All
the machinery is hid. Three small
brass field piecqy}, mounted on wheel
carnages, stand on the deck. The
t is ascending theYapid stream
at the rate of three miles an hour.?
Neither wind or human hands are
seen to help her; Ami* to the eye of
ignorance, the illusion is complete,^
that a monster of the deep carries'
her on his back, smoking with fati
, andlashing the waves with vio
nt exertion.
Her equipment is at once calctila
ed to attract and to awe the savage.
Objects pleasing and terrifying are
at once before ni?^?artillery; the
flag of the republic; portraits-of-a
white man ana an Indian shaking
hands; the calumet of peace; a
sword; then.the apparent monster
with a painted vessel on his back,
the sides gaping with port holes,
and bristling with guns. Taken al
together, and without intelligence of
her composition and design, it wotdd
require a daring savage to approach
and accost^ier with Hamlet's
sj>eech.? W
" Be thou a~ spirit of health, or goblin
damned,
Bring with the aire from heaven, or blasta
from hell,

tlie negro there in the act of cleaning
the shopkeeper's shoes, he proceded
to uuarrel with him, and finally, as
is charged* gave him a mortal wound
with a l)irk, of which he instantly
expired. He trust this shocking
event will put an end to the jiresent
unwarrantable custom, in a civilized
country, of youths carryir^ about

ed to lie published, for the benefit of
4roHotr Planters, who arc requested
to communicate the result of their ex
[lcriments to the {Society.
REPORT.
The Committee appointed by the
Agricultural Society to exmine into,
and report upon the expediency of
recommending to the Cotton Planters
of this State a change in the culture
of Cotton, proposed to the Society
by one of its members, Menj. Sea
brook, Esq.; viz. That of turn
ing down -the Cotton in the end of
the mohth of October, (he thiuks
about the 80th, probably the best
time) with the view, 1st, to prevent
the late Pods from beiflg stained by
frost v &l* to make Pods arrive at a
greater state of matririty, open fast
er ; 3d, to increase the quantity and
improve the quality of the Cotton;
and 4th> to diminish the lal>or of
harvesting, Report: That they fyve
examined a sample of Sea-Island
Cotton, of a fine quality, and color,
which was gathered from1 plants
raised in a garden in this city, and
turned down late in October last,
while in a foil state of vegetatiou;.
that they have also examined some
Pods taken from the same plant,
about the last of December; these
pods lure small in size and must have
faen very yotihjg wjjen the ttfees were
turned down; thfc Cotton is free
from stain, and, in the ouinioti of
your committee, uninjured by frost
or weather. Your Committee have
deemed it |>roper to avoid all theory
upott; the subject, and to confine
themselves to a statement of the re
sult of llie only experiment that has
been made, which, in their opinion,
has been tuch as to afford a we 11 -
grounded hope, that this plan of
turning down Cotfon will answer all
the purposes above stated, and be
highly beneficial to Planters general
ly; and they, therefore, strongly re
commend further experiments, at
different periods, ahd on a more ex
tended scale; and they also recom
mend to thole who may be disposed
to make experiments, that particular
attention be given to the time of turn- *
ing down the Cotton, and its growth *
and forwardness as to bearing; to
the quantity of Cotton which has
been gathered before it was turned
down, and . to tliat which has bee^
gathered afterwards.
