In nn article on the perils of the sea, the

in lat. 4 9, long. 47. Having then nodcGnile
idea of the quantity and extent of the ioe,
the Baltic for a lew days held her course, at
a very low rate of speed J but it soon became
apparent that a continued effort to force the
ship through the lightest and most broken
ice would tear the wheels from her sidesi
and every effort was then made to extricate
the ship from tho iep, without regard to at
taining a more oastern longitude. She cleared
tho ice on the 11th, being then two degrres
to Ihe southward, and a half degree to the
westward of her position three days befoie
On that evening a terrific gale, vceiing from
southwest to northwest commenced, and
continued till the next day, and nautical men
on board the Balric agree that nn ship in Ihe
iJo could have withstood that storm. There
is just reason for fearin? that the City of
Glasgow was in the vicinity of that ice field
and experienced lhn gAlo, ami that the
ciiiMiing mountains of ice npnn the devoted
ship caused Imr speedy destruction, as nn
skill, strength or courage in Ihe power of
man could resist audi n combination, of ele
mental strife. Shu left Liverpool on ihe 1st,
consequently on tho lllh, (die must have
been within four or five days' sail of Phila

in thu Vaid case, having volunteered his

Arthur Morrison, one of the victim of

ten lo her to come out, and tent her the ne
cessary means to do to; and about two months
since this devoted woman left her home and
friend with a heart buoyant with hope to
meet the object of her love and fealty.
About one month ago she arrived with her
child on our shores, and then for the first
time learned Ibat her husband had been en

by abandoning the camp of the filibuster,
and starling for San Francisco.
But he "'counted without his host," for Mr.
Walker immediately despatched a party in
pursuit, which overlook Morrison near San
Diego, and compelled him to return with
thorn. A second letter from his wife soon af
ter reached him, and Ihe unhappy man de
lermined lo leave Lower California, and at
all hazards return fo hi family, which need

In order to effect this, Morrison entered
into a combination with len other to desert

was carried into execution with as little de

LRTTER FROM THE F.DIT0R, DATED
U. S. Hotel,
PMadelpnia, May 9, 1854.
Philadelphia now would hardly be recog
nised by one who had seen it 20 year. ago.
It has, in that brief time, not only more than
doubled It. population, but it. architectural
style of building ha been greatly changed.
The prevailing style of building, then, wa
of brick of 3 and 4 slnrie in height, with
scarcely an exception. Ten or twelve yeait
since, a new era in building commenced, in
the Introduction of marble, granite and
brown alone, and now almost every new
.'.rucinre in Ihe business portion of Chesnut
.(reel, is composed of granite or brown alone,
elegantly carved and cut, from five to .is
torie high. These palatial structures are
nearly all occupied a stores or public build
ings, and make a most imposing appearance.
Noexpenss is spared in fitting ihem up. Some
len year, since a window of 4 panes of plate
glass was considered Ihe ni plus'ultra. Now
most of Ihe new large store have window
composed of one .ingle plate of french g!ast
which mensure 7 by 12 feel, and cost 8550,.
00 each. Two of these in the new stores in
Chestnut, near 7th, were broken recently in
attempting In pul them in. They are to be
replaced by new ones as soon a. Ihey can
be imported from Paris.
Philadelphia is growing rapidly in wealth
as well as population, and perhaps among
the least objectionable ways of spending it
is, in improving and beautifying the cily.
In the political horizon things have thus
lar worn a comparatively qniej aspect, but
parties are beginning to marshall their forces
and calculate their strength. The next cam"
paign will bo fiercely contested, and there
Rre now so many elements at work, that it is
hard lo say what a month or two may bring
lorlh. The Whigs and Native, in the cily,
will, in all probability, coalesce, and u:;ile
heir forces. The "Know Nothings" who
have absnibed the greatest portion of the
Native paily, claim to be forty thousand
strong in tho Slate. Their creed is based
upon opposition lo foreign Htfluence, and the
Roman Catholic religion. The Temperance,
or rather ihe piohibitary liquor law parlyj
are another powciful element, capable Of
setting at naught tho calculations or panics.
Much, therefore, iu tho next or coming cam
paign, will depend upon tlio course Ihat will
be pursued by these sepemle Organizations.
The late ai l incorporating tho Cleaveland,
Paiuesville and Ashtabula Railroad Company
secures 3500,000 lo the Suubury and Erie
road, which, with a similiar amount which
will be subscribed in this city, will enable
the company lo demand from Ihe Cily Coun
cils to-morrow evening, Ihe additional miflion
of dollars. This win give the company a
basis, or working capital of fiveor six mil
lions. Upon Ihis the company will be ena
bled to raise enough money by loans, on
their own bonds, lo secure the completion of
this great impiovement.
The vast increase of business -consequent
upon the completion of Ilia Pennsylvania
Railroad, has opened the eyes and somen hat
awakened ihcenergics of the Phila.lelphians.
There is therefore a jierfect unanimity of
opiuion on Ihe subject of ihe Suubury ami
Erie road. The Messrs. Moorehead will
push forward Ihe work between Suubury nnd
Lock Haven, as rapidly as possible. With
Ihis view the bridge at Northumberland wilh
be pul under contract without delay. One
of Ihe conditions of the subscription by the
City Councils, is, Ihe selection on their par,
of an engineer, who with llle engineer of Ihe
Company, are 10 decide upon the location of
the route. They have chosen Mr. Kneass, a
competent man, w ho w ill no doubt coincide
with Mr. Farie. in tha route as located.
Telcgniphic despatches fiem Boston re
ceived Ihis afternoon, announced a aeiious
riot in Ihat city, to-day. A Protestant cler
gyman was speaking in the open air, on Ihe
subject of Popery, when he was attacked by
a body of Catholics and driven over lo Chel
sea. Here he was again attacked, w hen the
Protestants turned upou their assailants, drove
them into their church, which Ihey broke
open and desecrated, by destroying Ihe cross
011 ihe pulpit. These proeeedings, though
disgracelul, lo Ihe uge and our institutions,
are, nevertheless clearly iraccble to causes
lung since in operation. W hen parlies and
demagogues commenced bidding for catholic
vole and courting catholio favor, for sinister
and political purposes, ibe germ of ihe mis
chief was laid. If there is any oue thing in
Ihis country calculated to bring about civil
war, discoid and bloodshed, it j ihis very
question, and those w ho have been instru
mental iu bringing about these measuies, by
giving "aid and comfort" to those engaged
in them, will find it a most ill advised and
unfortunate policy.
