NEW LIBERTY POLE.

Monday afternoon a number of respectable citizens assembled on the spot where the LIBERTY TREE once grew, and re-erected a Liberty Pole to display the flag of our country. It was to have been erected at the time LAFAYETTE visited this city, and the following lines were then written for the occasion by the late Judge DAWES:

Of high renown here grew the Tree,
The ELM, so dear to LIBERTY.
Your Sires, beneath its sacred shade,
To Freedom early homage paid.
THIS DAY, with filial awe surround
Its Root, that sanctifies the ground,
And, by your FATHERS' spirits, swear
The Rights they left you'll not impair.

JACKSON MEETING.

The citizens of Boston and its vicinity, disposed to support ANDREW JACKSON for the next Presidency, have been requested to meet at Washington Coffee House, this evening.

Hon Mr LLOYD declined the invitation of his fellow-citizens of Boston to partake of a public dinner, contemplated in respect to his long, able and arduous services, in the U.S.Senate. In his letter to the committee, declining the honor, he states, among other reasons that influenced his decision, the necessity of immediate retirement after his public labors and the approach of the National Festival.

stated in the Philadelphia Freeman's Journal, that "according to some records in possession of a clergyman in the neighborhood of Boston, seventy years ago there was no rain from the 16th of April, until the 10th of June." The drought the present season, has been nearly as great.There was scarcely rain enough in this vicinity, from the 19th of April to the 20th June, to lay the dust in the streets.

*We should be pleased to receive some extracts from the Records here alluded to.

BOSTON QUAKER BURYING GROUND.

The workmen employed by the overseers of the society of Friends, to take up the remains of those interred in the Quaker burying ground, for the purpose of reinterment at Lynn, completed the labour yesterday. They were employed nine days, and removed the remains of 111 who had been buried there. The following facts respecting this ground we copy from the Boston Courier.

The land in question was perchased in the years 1709 and 1713, by the Society of Friends, or Quakers. As they were not then incorporated, this as well as their other real estate throughout the commonwealth, was vested in trustees for the use of the

society, till the year 1823, when a law was passed giving the overseers of the respective "monthly meetings of Friends" corporate powers, and vesting in them all the estates, both real and personal, within their respective territorial limits, previously granted by any persons to the said society, or to their use. In consequence of this law, the overseers of the monthly meeting for the district in which Boston is included, took possession of the land in question. A ruinous building was at that time on the premises, which was formerly their meeting house; but having been wholly unoccupied for nearly twenty years past, they caused it to

be removed. There being at present few, or none of the society residing in the city, and this lot having ceased to be used for many years, either as a place for burial or for public worship, the overseers, under the direction of the society, applied to the city authorities for leave to remove the remains, to be deposited in the burial ground of the society at Lynn, and leave was accordingly granted. The persons now living, who formerly held the estate in trust, have disclaimed on record, or have given quit claim deeds to the overseers, of all their right to the premises, excepting one individual, against whom a perpetual injunction has been issued by our Supreme Court, forbidding him from making any claim thereto. The object of the society is to purchase a more suitable place for public worship, in some more retired part of the city, and to dispose of the lot in question, that it may be appropriated to some useful purpose.
