One of the ' most awful collisions that ever took blaca at eea, lwppeneJ on tho morning of Saturday,-90th-ult., aboct two o'clock. The American ship ioernor Termer, Capt. Andrews, left Liverpool the preced ing day, about noon, with a crew of seventeen men, nnj one hundred and ait atccrnge passengers, con atsting of men, women and children; and when of cfl'Holyhcad, she came in collision with the steam er JVottinhara, striking her midshipa, and reducing tier to a complete wieck. Contrary, however, k hat might be expected, the vessel cUiking sua- tniiied greater injury than the on atiuck. The Nottingham, though greatly injured, continued to float, and ultimately arrived in port; but the Gover nor Fenner was sa dreadfully shattered, that she began to sink immediately, and. in less than -live minutes wci.t to 4ho bottom, engulping in . the waves iiol less than one hundred and twenty two souls! Tho only persons saved belonging to the ship weie Capt. Andrews and the ma'e, who were both on deck when the vessel struck. The mate saved his life by jumping from the fore yatdarm on the deck of the lVottinham,- and the Contain, after fall, ir.gto 'jump on tho steamer, caught a rope that was hanging from Iit side, just as hi -own vessel was gchig down. ' The shuc ks 6f the unhappy passen gers, who were aroused from their beds by the hock, were most appalling ; but in less than Ave minutes tho vessel went down, carrying with' it every aoul ou board 'Wealth' of tUe Ksttrhaays. Every body knows, -we presume, (hat the 'Ester--hazy family is (he richest and most ostentatious in T-urope, or piebably in the world.

G. Sciti, President. Time roli ori an doe the march of genius. Newaik has produced another Clock, even more wonderful than the recent invention of our towns man, Mr. Crane. The inventor and manufacturer is 'Mr. J. U. Lafoy, who is well known to many of our citizens, and who has shown, in this produc ion, a high order of mechanical talent and ingenuity. The clock, ep-rt from the omiinerital work, is sim ply this: An crrow, the em of which is a solid glass rod, the barb or head of which is of hras, and also solid; the feather end of the arrow i of lire same metal, but it is mido hollow, and contains the whole moving power of the clock, and is wound up once o week. This airow is fastened by a pin in the centre of its stem, to a glass dial plate, on which ike figures are painted, the arrow head point ing the hours with perfect precision and regularity. An inspection of the clock presents to the cu rious obseiv, r this question. How can any move ment, conatined within the extrome end of the ar row, and ohviouily having no connection with the centre on which it turns, operate, to cause the ar row revolve! A remarkable fact, which thow Ihe impossibility of deception, is, that the arrow may be removed from the dial plate, and laid down, or even carraid in the pocket; and when replaced, will immediately return to the correct hour. The em bellicbrnent do much credit to the good Into of the artist, and it is hoped ho may derive some lasting and substantial benefit from this production of his skill. .Veicnr fiV. J.) Daily Adv. Such a clock w.is, a few day since, dmhlayed in the window of if Messrs. Bailey -Ac Kitchen, in (hi city. It attracted much attention, and gave rise to many surmises as to the modu operandi.

Long articles of doui'lful utility we mut decline, especially if unac companied by the author's name. It has been truly said that "Brevity is the bouI of wit."

Preparaliona are making to carry on an active business in the coal trade this season, from thcSha mokin mines. A single anthracite furnace al Dan ville, lately put into blast by Ulddle, Chamber & Co., is using up their ttock en hand at the rale of 25 or 30 lona per day, and yielding about 70 tons of good pig metal per week. This is but one of the three lurnaces in operation there, using anthra cite coal. The company have already conti acted wilh ihe Shamokin Coal Company for 7,500 tons of coal, to commence the delivery by the 15th of April. In return, the Shamokin Company take the same quantity of iron ore fiom the Danville ore beds, for their furnncra at Shamokin, Thus tho shipping business at this port will be in active ope ration in a few weeks.

Small o1..ew York roliey. The advantage po-sed ly New York in the is-uing Mid circulation of smull not. in their own ltd in ighliOiing klatcs, haa been estimated equal to a aperie basis of 4 or 5 millions of dollars. Their Banks iie every effort to give them a wide and extensive circulation. Many thoutand are bioiigbt dowu tho Susquehanna at every f.c.het, by the wa termen, who always seem to be uhuudantly supplied wilh email New Yoik bills, and with nothing the Thete watermen, we are informed, make it a rule lo pay pu.1 nothing but their small bills, preserving MSj jjsji!.!.i ..I'. il,i,i,jtiiui.MMMgB!Mi all the silver ihey rrcoive in change, amounting generally to more than one hatf, to take beck and 'deposits in the banks from which they received the small notes. We are csed.bly informed that aumo of the New York Banks near the slate line, enter into a contract, or have an understating with wa termen who may want $400 or $500, to furnish them with that sum, provided they take double that aum in addition, in small bin's, for the purpose of having them circulated, and tho irilver change re- turned to their coffers, which in many instances a j mount to more than half the money borrowed, I Thus Pennsylvania is in a meai-ure robbed of her I -specie circulation, for tho benefit of the bonk of a neighboring state, who in return furnish her with their own small notes as a substitute. The editor of tho Sunbury Gazette, having been cornered in a falsehood by referring him to his own paper, was compelled to admit that we warmly sup ported, and wrote various articles in favor of Mr. Muhlenburg, but says (bat we voted for Ritner not withfunding. In order to crawl half woy mil of ono falsehood, he mcnnly invents another. Hi next assertion may be that we have attempted to poison a neighbor's well, or apply a torch to hi dwelling. Tho malevolence of feeling that could induce Irm to give birth to one false charge, in order to gratify his malignity, might readily prompt him to make another, still more flagrant, to further his purpose. Mr. Yonngmnn has voluntarily placed himself in the attitude of a falsifier before the public we will use no handier term. In this light Im must bo viewed by every honorable man conversant with the election of 1835. His own personal friends in this place will testify against him in This -matter, and we doubt whether ho could find a single individual among his twenty-one political friends in thia place to back hi assertion. No honorable man at least would do lo. Thero is no alternative left (he Ga zette. The editor must either acknowledge himself a base falsifier, or prove his assertions true. We daro him to do this. Neither ho nor lis skulking scribbler will undertake it. Wo are now convinced, more than ever, of the truth of whit wo more than once suspected, that the Gazette has been hired to do Ibis dirty woik, in order to draw off our attention from the doings of our Representative at Hanishurg. Let the Gazottc, howev r, rest easy on this score; wo shall notice Mr, Hoiton whenever we think il necessary for ihe pub lic ROid, but in doing so we shall always treat him ms wc have done heretofore, with a proper degrco of respect, without abusing hroi e calling him hard names. In regard to the fact of one of the editms of the Gazelle having supported Ritner in 1S32, il ia too well known in this place to admit of a doult. The junior editor, however, may have been loo green lo recollect it. When ihe Gazette can establish its character for truth, wc may condescend to give it a moie parti cular notice. 1'b Boston Atlas containa tho following beau tiful extract upon the result of (ho late election in New Hampshiie, which has gone in favor of the Democrats. Il is not surprising, that after such an exhibition of his feelings towards one of ihe mem bers of the New England confederacy, that Mr. Haughton should stigmatize the citizens of J nn sylvania as a people who hesitated about the pro priety of paying their honest debts. Mi. Haugh ton, we believe, has always been a rank federalist, and bo .stsofthat distinction. "The ekcticn in this he polled Tory state took place on Tueselay, and judging from the few scal lering returns we have received, has undoubtedly resulted in tho choice of tho whole Tory ticket for Governor, Members of Congress, Ac, by ubout the usual majority. New Hampshire is as a plague spot to the rest of New England, ihe centering point wheie meet and fister all ihe political igno rance and pollution of this country. The sunlight of trullt cannot pierce through the thick clouds of daikness ignoranoe and delusion, that cover and darken the land. 'She slanda as a wondor a marvel to men Such infamy blakens her brow, If that were the place of my Liilh, At once from her arms would I sever, And would fly to the uttermost part of tho cailh, And quit her for ever and ever ; And Ihinking of her in my long afier years, Would but kindle my blushes aud waken my tears.'

On Friday Mr. H inch man's bank bill was dis cussed in the Houso during -tho morning session. In the afternoon the vote wo taken, and the bill defeated yeas 49, nays 47. On Saturday, the bill in relation to the Banks, introduced by W. Spackman, which had been debated for aeveral days, passed tho Senates, by a strict parly vote, the Whigs voting for and the Democrats against the bill. This bill suspends tho penalties against the banks fur an indefinite limp, but allows them to be sued on their notes, cVc. and the money col lected, as debts are collected between individuals. They must of course pny in Specie where judgment is obtained nnd execution issued against Ihcm, but (heir charters cannot be forfeited. The bill uleo allows the bank lo issue small notes for five years, and places some restrictions upon their loans. This bill will be considered in the House to morrow, but will not pass without material alterations' I how aver think thai a bill, suspending the penalties a gainst the banks for a limited time and allowing the issue of small notes, will pass. Petitions in favor of it, signed by persons of both parties, aro daily presented. Some relief of ihe kind must be provi ded ly tho Legislature, e the Stale will bo Bank rupt, and the business and trade of our people ruined. The bill to incorporate the real estate bank of Lancaster, passed tho Senate by a vote of 12 to 11 ten s. nalors being absent. I do not think it will pass the House. In the House on Saturday the bill to incorporate a company to make a rail road fi oni Hariisburg to York was defeated and a bill passed finally allowing the Middlclown and Colum bia turnpike company to convert their road into a railway. This road when completed, will be a great convenience lo those ahrng tho Susquehanna who trade with Baltimore, as they will then be able to travel the whole distance from llarrisburg to Balti more by rail road. It will undoubtedly in a few year bo extended to Sunbury. A compony for that purpose was incorporated several years eince. Yebleiday the bill to incorporate the American Sunday School Union was considered in the House and ufti r having been debated some time was nega vrd. The other business which has been before ihe two Houses during, was not of much general Interest. rOH THK AMFniCAX.

Having arrived on a very warm day, at ihe pleas ant town of .Inunuma, when the evening came I allied forth to rxercUemy liml s, and refresh my spirits, by a ramble. On enquiring for the walks of the pi ice, I w as politely favored with a deccrip lion of theni.and concluded lo lake tho ono which terminated at an edd church. Il proved lo le a de lightful way, and, for the longer part of it, entirely beyond the noise aiA bustle of the town. Tho lural scenery was beautiful, and hcie and there wus a lofty tree on the edge of tho path, which had es caped the destructive axe. The forbearance of the citzens was ctrditable to them, as it showed no IUiIk re finement of fe ling to epaic, the venerable tree for, how often docs the love of gain racrif.ee the monuments of ages for the purpoi-e of removing a (light hiuderance to the annual profits of the gn und, or, a barl aicus spiiil amuse itself in the woik ef destruction, at tho expense of antiquity, coiivoniu.ee, and the most cherished associations of hoary time. Whether there be any constitutional disposition in mo to dwcil on the grand and lovely fecues of niture, or, whether, through early familiarity with tin m, her inspiration seized me, or, fiom the com bination of these caascs, it is not important here to attempt the deti-uon. One thing is sure, that I have always loved to ramble amid solitudes and shade, to wind my way along the stream, or trace the mazy brook, by its gurgling through the thick bushes, and to climb the sleep and shaggy hill, and Cult the ipiiit of independence a I bavo stood on its summit, and laken in the encircling prospect, and allied myself lo nature as a (rue bom heir to aH her potses.-ions. Probably I am inJibted, not a little, for this spirit, to the place of my nativity, beautiful indeed for situation. Gentle reader, if you have not seen Wilmington, let me introduce you to it sight, and environs. Located on gradu ally rising ground from the North and South, and in a westerly direction, is has the k rpenlino Christi ana cirek on the S.iuth, tho broad Delaware on the L'osl, and a iloping onphithcatre for a mile or more on the West, which completely overlooks the city, and brings the noble river into complete views with its expanse of water bearing up verse! of every size, and, especially the big ship of every nation spreading their snowy wings to Ihe breeze that waft them toword their destined poits. Though there is much of the beautiful, mixed wilh gentle grandeur, in these portion of ihe scenery, thai which bolder on the Brandywine on the North, display ilsirf in romantic wildnes. Theie is a milo long race and more on either side of tho creek, with It boltoni of gravel and rock, over which the limpid water courses il sleepless way lo put 'm mo lion Ihe group of noble mills, the flour of which is celebrated in every niaikct. On the right or left, according the aide of the creek ascended, there Is1 foot-way between it and tho race, frequently of companionable breadth, occasionally lined and sup ported by rough stone, one which on the edge of the stream, then opening Into a space Interspersed with trees and bushea, and anon, the advancing country, wilh lapering or more hilly face, metling and kis sing the pure water of tho race. Three dams occur along this distance, while now a bed of roeks all ahnpes, stares up in your faec, and almost evry where, some insulated rock peeps out of its watery confinement, or advances its woll proportioned f-idea or frowns upon you in all it naked boldness. Leaving the grand race, you proceed along the creek with tho continuous country on the left, yet, for some width, dressed in il native rugged gar ment", and enter and wend your way among, fac tories of various kinds. These evidences of human life end industry, sprinkled along its margin, scarce ly interrupt the Impressive charaelcr of the natural scenery, situated as they aro amidst the seal of un- tamcahlo rudenest. And then the dashing stream, in, and around them the waterfall in the vicinity the simplicity of the woikmrn, and their little mansions perched on tho craggy hills, with their cool spiing surrounded with mossenvered rocks, and overhanging trees, tend to sustain the solemn love linesa of ihe scene. If they somewhat eoften the feelings, while they break in on the naked doaala tions of the picture, ihey do not effect its harmony, as they act upon the mind, for the moment, like the screaming eagle on the lowering dill", that diverts the attention of ll.e enthusiastic snuntercr within nature's bold domains, and gives his soul a brealh kig spelt from the oppressive action of its w Id con templations. Though il is nearly a quarter of a century since circumstances under the controling destiny of Prov idence, forced me to seek situation elsewhere, yet often, how often does memory revert lo the scene of early days, and imagination picture afresh ever dear spot, and associations crowd on the vision ir all tho life of experienced reality ! But especially how I Jjvo to dwell along iho Brandywine, unli the mind, under its sadly pleasing musings demand relief, and it is necessary lo dissolve tho spell i tears, and quit the templing field of though'. Stil filial duty calls me, now and then, on a visit to m native tiome, wncn l take my nil oi me "joy c grief" in revisiting tho place consecrated and en bahned by the dew of youth. Alone (ful wl. would have company at such a time, except of kit dred spirit) I traced my varied way, but most eag to plant my footsteps on tho walk along the rac O ! what a rush of feelings then, solemn, sa.l, swe a I think of by-gono days, and all the intcrvenii history of companions, and relatives, and friem and feel that youth can never return, and compa the present with the past, and dart along the fulu with thoughts of every hue deiived from the got and the bid, and the uncertain, of the chcckcn but sealed boo't of Providence! Sill, onward I nmid a growing multitude of recollections started every atep. There is the stone on which I li thirty year ago tosavo my foot from the water, that vciy spot I gathered the modest violets wh still bloom, in succc.-sion, as beautiful as ever. Y der I descended the ateep, and fearfully leaned i ward to pluck the half-ripe grapes.

His pupils in the swimming art wil; always remember him wilh siTcction and gratitude ; aud if he be dead, the writer would gladly be one ot the number, to raise a crnot.iph lo hi memory fa cing the spot were he e xercised hi benevolence.
