The recent storm caused many disasters at
Baltimore and Philadelphia, At Baltimore

there for many years. - Four. schooners were
capsized and sank in the harbor at the foot
of Broadway, six more at a place called the
Warehouse wharf, four more at anchor upon
the Middle Ground, also went dowe, as (lid a
brig anchored in the stream. Nine persons
were said to' be drowned on board these
schooners, so far as known, but the. Ameri.
`can says that there were none. immense
quantities of wood and timber were swept off
the wharves, chimnies were blown down,
houses unroofed, etc. The Ohio Liquor Law,
a very stringent enactment, prohibiting the
retailing of liquors except native wines, beer,
and eiderlhas been prononced constitutional

lower house of the Massachusetts Legisla
ture has lust elected Henry Wilson, Free
Soil, to fill the vacancy in the representation
of that State in the U. S. Senate, caused by

The State Senate has yet to ratify it, but will,
no doubt, do so.

Monday. The House passed a resolution of
inquiry relative to the refusal of Spain to
accord to our citizens the free access to the
Courts of Cuba for the collection of debts.
It is 'understood that is the case, notwith
standing treaty 'stipulations. The French
Spoliation bill was taken up, discussed,
amended, passed in committee, reported to"
the House, and passed; but pending the
question on agreeing to the title of the bill,
Mr. Walsh-proposed a satirical amendment,
which caused quite a disorderliscene, lasting
until the adjournment.

quently, destroyed the sleighing. The deaths
last week, in New York city, were 437; in
Philadelphia, 185. Mr. Slidell has been re

The Central American expeditio'n, under
Col. Kinney is threatened with a •proclanut
tion from President Pierce. A revolutionary
outbreak in Cuba is looked for as, according
to recent advices, much excitement was pre
vailing there.
A CI!AROE OF BRIBERY.—The Harrisburg
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
states that when the bill supplementary to
the act of 1847, defining and punishing the
offence of bribery, was up for consideration
in the Senate a few days ago, 31r Price made
,the following statement,:
"That after the passage of the consolida
tion bill through the Senate, and while it was
yet pending before the House, ho was di.
reedy approached by a member of the House,
asking compensation for the support of the
bill, and its sate conduct through that body.
Ho promptly refused to be engaged in such
a transaction, and remonstrated with the
member upon the impropriety of his course,
representing the justice of the consolidation
bill; and thp unanimous sentiment of the
people of Philadelphia ill its favor. The re
ply was, that he was aware of that fact, but
he thought there was ‘somellting in it,' and
that he might as well make a little, and that
he knew fifteen others who were ready to aid
in its passage for a reasonable compensation.
Thoroughly disgusted at the man's venality,
lief Mr. 'rice) arose in order that he might
depart, when the miserable creature tun ed,
and as a last appeal exclaimed, "can't you
yirc us jive dollars apiece?'"
lltlsil REBELLION.—The 2nd or "Irish 13r:-
gado," as it is called, of -Philadelphia, com
posed of volunteer•corps made . upmainly of
foreigners, is out in open rehellitm against
the constituted authorities..lt scorns, just
before going out of office Gov. Bigler, in his
capacity of Coimnander-in-Chief;
.appointel
Col. Patrick W. Conroy, Brigadier General
pro. tem. and issued orders for an inspection
of the Brigade and an election for Brigade
officers. Pollock, for good reasons no
doubt, appointed Col. WILLIAM I% SMALL,
Brigadier pit tem. in place of Conroy, and
leduntermanded the election until further or.
ders. Gen. Pat. refused to obey, and issued
his orders that thB election should go ahead.
It came off a few evenings ago, (nobody at•
tending but the Irish) and Mr. John Tyler,
j'r., was the chosen Brigadier.—Gen. Small,
of course maintains his position, and regards
Gen.• Tyler's election - as a grand farce.—
Whether it will lead to war ; or wler when
and how it will end, remains to he seen. We
guess, as a finale to the whole pro2eeding.
the "Irish Brigade." will be drummed out of
the service:
TIIE CONSUMPTION Or'
years ago, three men by hand work, could
scarcely manufacture 4000 small
„sheets of
paper in a day, while now by the use of ma.
chinery, they can produce 60,000 in the same.,
time. It has been calculated that if the pa
per produced yearly by six unwhines (meld
be put together, the sheet-would encircle the
world: Nowhere is the paper so much val.
ued-as in the United States. In France,
with 35,000,000 of inhabitants, only 00 tons
are produced, nearly one seventh of which is
for exportation. In Britain, with 28,000,000
of inhabitants, .95,000 tons are produced,
while the amount produced in the United
States is nearly as great as prodaced by
France 'and Ritgland together.
