We are indebted to a friend for the following: It may be interesting here to mention a circumstance illustrative of the general feeling of the town in those days with regard to slavery. In the spring of 1798 or ‘99, a foreigner named Andriesse, originally from Holland, who had served many years at the Cape of Good Hope and in Batavia as a commodore in the Dutch navy, moved into the town from Boston, where he had lost, it was said, by unlucky speculations and the tricks of swindlers, a large part of the property which he had brought to this country from the East Indies. His family consisted of a wife and four children, with from fifteen to twenty Malay slaves. He lived only a month or two after his arrival in the town; and his widow, immediately after h

It was finally again removed, in 1845, to the south side of School Street, above the Unitarian Church, where its old white oak frame still remains under a new covering. The paper mill referred to became the property of William Parker of Cambridge; afterwards of Major Uriah Moore and Enoch Wiswall. The latter, with Samuel Coverly and John Holland, of Boston, afterwards erected a Cotton Factory at the same point, and they were incorporated October 24, 1812, as The Waltham Cotton and Wool Factory Company. Betwenn 1780 and 1790 John Boies first made use of the water power at the upper fall by erecting a paper mill, and soon after a dwelling house.

--The following cases were disposed of yesterday morning: John McCarthy, of the Mississippi Rifles, and James H. Mills, of a Texas regiment, arrested for taking more drinks than they could stand up under, were discharged on promise of immediate reformation. Henry, slave of Alex Rowlett, charged with stealing a bag of peanuts, was sent down for correction. Tazewell, slave of John Carr, was sentenced to thirty-nine for stealing a middling of bacon from John H. Claiborne. John Holland and Luke Finn, charged with being drunk and disorderly in the First Market, and threatening to assault Semon Greenburg, were each required to give $150 security to keep the peace. Finn was also committed to jail for five days for contempt of Court. Daniel Keys, for an assault upon Mary Sullivan, was held in $150 surety to keep the peace, and a former recognizance was declared forfeited. The Recorder thought the quiet of the city would be further secured by placing Mrs. Sullivan als
