It is seldom that we have a more painful occurrence to chronicle than took place yes terday afternoon on the Schuylkill, near the "Wire Bridge. Three lads, sons of Joshua "Wbitwortb, wvo resides in Loooiis' place, near Twenty second aud Callowhill streets, left home iu the afternoon and went together to the Schuylkill river and crossed the Wire Bridge to the west side, where Ernest, about ten years old, went in to bathe. He had been in the water bnt a short time, when finding LiniKelf getting beyond his depth, he called Alfred, who was a year older than himself, to help him. Alfred hurried to his assistance, f nd when he reached him was seized by the drowning brother, and both went down to gether. The youngest boy, Joshua, witnessed the sinking of his brothers, and then ran to a man who was approaching, and told him of the occurrence. By the time be got to the wharf the unfortunate lads were not to be t-eeij. A boat was procured, and the bodies were soon recovered.

A curious dis covery has lately been made by the tele graphers on the little island of St. Pierre Miquelon. There are two telegraph stations on this island, one worked by an American company, which receives messages from New foundland and sends them on to Sydney, using a powerful battery and the ordinary Morse signals. The other is worked by the French Transatlantic Company, who em ploy exceedingly delicate instruments in . receiving messages from Brest and Duxbury. These very sensitive instruments were found to be seriously affected by earth-currents that is, currents depending on some rapid changes in the electrical condition of the island which interfered very muoh with the orking of the line. After adopting mea- Bies to obviate this diihoulty, it was dis covted that these earth currents were due in part n the operations of the powerful bat tery o. American Telegraph Company, thht buttery, every time it was used, actually chitrginp tm a Leyden jar, the whole little rocky .iRlBiid of St. Pierre Miquelon. And it was found ih&t by a proper disposition of the French instruments every word, sent over the American line could be made to leave its fn6-$imile with the French company; and thin, too, though the two lines nowhere come witlin several hundred yards of each other, the fexly connection of the two being through the earth. Jioton Traveller. BJIERIDAN'S rOTIONS. In the year 1805, on the day when the very animated debate took place upon the cele brated Tenth Report of the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry, the attention of a gentle man, who happened to enter a coffee-house near the House of Commons, was instantly fixed by another gentleman, whom he ob served at one of the tables, with tea, and pen, ink, and paper before him. For some time the latter sat alternately drinking tea and taking down memoranda, and then called to the waiter to bring him some brandy, when, to the observer's great surprise, a half pint tnmblerfnl was brought. Tho gentleman placed it by him, continuing awhile alternately to write and drink te.i; when at length collecting his papers to gether, be put them in his pocket, and swal lowing the half-pint of brandy as if it ha I been water, went out of the coffee-house. The Btranger was so much struck by all he had observed, particularly at the facility with which such a quantity of spirits was takeu, that he could not forbear to ask the waiter who the gentleman was. The man replied, "Pshaw! don't yon knew him ? Why, that's Sheridan; he's going now to the House of Commons." It will be remembered that in the course of this debate Mr. Sheridan made one of the finest speeches ever delivered by him, alike remarkable for keenness of argu ment and brilliancy of wit, and this under the influence of a potion that would wholly have deprived most men of their faculties. The following anecdote of Sheridan was related by one of (he oldest surviving friends and followers of Fox. This gentleman and Sheridan bad dined together at Bellamy's. Sheridan, having taken his allowance, said as usual, "Now I shall go down and see what is doing in the House," which in reality meant, and was always so interpreted by whoever dined in his company, "I have drank enough; my share of the business is done; now do yours; call for the bill and pay up." The bill having been settled by Sheridan's friend, the latter, hearing that Sheridan was "up," felt curious to know what he could possibly be at, knowing the state in which he had just departed. Accord ingly he entered the house, and to his no small astonishment found Sheridan in a fit of most fervid oratory, thundering forth the following well-known passage: "Give them a corrupt House of Lords; give them a venal House of Commons; give them a tyrannical prince; give them a truckling court; and let me have but an unfettered press, and I will defy them to encroach a hair s-breadth upon the liberties of England!"
