Ftuarrr.eur. Snirwattcss.—The English coast
was visited by a severe hurricane on the 30th of
March, causing much destruction of property and a
frightful loss of life. Among other vessels lost
was the John It. Skiddy, driven ashore on the coast
at Wexford; totally wrecked, the Captain, passen
gers, and crew saved:
The Howard, from New Orlcnns it was also wreck
ed at the entrance of the Mersey.
The steamer Adelaide, from Dublin to London,
was lost near.the mouth of the Thames, • and every

have fallen a prey to - the elements. 1 •
FRANCH.--At Pa l ris, although there is increased
excitement and greater bitterness between conflict
ing
parties, the only marked events of the 'fortnight'
- have been, first the revolt of one of the regiments,
which the government has• not succeed !d in quell
ing; second, a popular demonstration in a small way
against Louis Napoleon. Perhaps the most signifi
cant event in the Assembly was the proposition of
Mr. De Lai Roche Jacqueline, a friend of the Presi
dent, to effect that on the first Sunday in June the'
nation should be called on to pronounce defining
on the form ofGoverrment which it should choose
to select; that every elector. should be called upon to
inscribe mills ballot, Monarchy or Republic.
That if the Republic should receive a majority,
it should be proclaimed in the Chamber by the Pres
ifient of the Republic; and if the Monarchy obtained,
a majority, by the President of the Assembly.
This remarkable proposition was received with
solemn silence by the majority, and by decisive
sneers by the mountain party, but at length the
proposition was negatived in consequence of not
being seconded, and the previous question was im
mediately voted unanimously.
The members of the Mountain received the an
nouncement with a cry of Viva La Republique. It
is said that the President is so deeply in debt that
nothing but the possession of the Imperial Crown
can extricate him, and that lie is at present engaged
in negotiations with Russia, for the purpose of pos
sessing himself of that now necessary protection.
The government are perseveringly employed in
introducing their measure of coercion, in which the
majority of the Assembly support them.
The Paris correspondent of the London Standard
says that the Government have received desputches
from Germany %%Ilia lead to the belief that a colli
sion between4ustria and Russia is alines; unavoid
chile. The language used by both pcm ers is becom
insimore hostile.

lirstuatotts Discovutty.—Among the ruins of
the property recently torn down in Walnut street
below Third by r dward Y. Farquhar, was found a
mahogany coffin containing €corpse, yesterday.-!-
The fact of the discovery had the effect to draw a
large concourse of people together, but there did not
appear to be one wise enough to unravel the mystery
which surrounds the Whole affair. The houses re
ferred, to wear built in the ;year 1770, consequett'y.
at the time of their razeing they:were eighty years
old, and ever since the foundations mere laid, they
have been in the,possession of Mr. Farquhar's fam
ily.. In the back cellar of one of the houses—No.
$9, were three heavy ground arches,
and the one on
the west side was completely hidden from view by
a wall which had been built in front of it, and which
upon several occasions, had 'attracted the attention
of the Present owner and builder.
Mr. Farquhar gave directions to the workmen,
that when the wall and arch in question, were torn
away he 'would witness the work. Accordingly,
everything being' in readil:a for the removal of that
portion of the ruins,- Mr. Farquhar came to the spot
about nine o'clock - a:ld the tearing away commen
ced. As soon as the wall was removed, the coffin
above mentioned was discovered, embedded in the
arch in an upright position. The space around it
was filled up with lime, rubbish and mortar, and the
wood of the boards of which the box was made, was
much decomposed, and the whole fell to pieces, upon
handling it: The coffin contained the remains of a
human being. It was full of v. hat was once strong
quick lime, and all of the corpse that had escaped
the destructive action of this powerful chemical
agent, were a few of the _bones, and nearly all these
were in a crumbling condition. The hip bone was
tolerably perfect, and so were several
. of the ribs;
yet it was impossible to say of what sex the deceasd
war, or to tell any thingsatisfaciory about the dead.
On the coffin was an ornamental brest plate, formed
of copper, silvered over. The metal vas so much
corroded. as to dbliterate all traces of any inscription
that might indicite the name of thedeceased. , The
wall of the arch which:ival four inches thick, was
built in a very irregular, rough, and unworklike mari
ner, while the outside. will that hid the larch, and
Which was nine inches in thickness, was sell execu
ted, being constructed of good brick, cemented in du
rable style.
The excitement in the vicinity of Third and Wal
nut street, as might be supposed, under the circum
stances, was intense, and nearly every spectator had
an impression of his own, as to how the coffin came
to be placed in.that position. Some, of codrse, sup
posed murder, most foul, had taken place; others
thought quite the reverse, while many did not
know what to 'think.' The mystery will be investi
gated by the Coroner.—Pennsylvania.
ROPE.
THE AWFUL VISITATION AT WASHINGTON.—The
blowing is the National. Intelligences accont.t If the
sudden death of a bridegroom in that city', hereto--
fore referred to in our Washington letters:
"A young man, named Charles Wilson, employed
in the coast Survey Oflice, died very suddenly on
Thursday morninz'under the following painful cir
cumstances. He was married- on Wednesday night
at Mrs. Little's boarding house. Mr. Wilion went
to bed about 11 o'clock, and was found dead by his
wife the next morning, when she attempted to wake
him. !laving taken a mixture an Wednesday even
ing, consisting of opium and ether, it was believed.'
by. many . that this draught 'ns the cause of his death. '
On'a full investigation of this distressing case by a
coroner's jiffy, they returned, after hearing the tes
timony of four eminent physicians and a post mur
tem examination, the following verdict:
"'That the deceased was a man of intemperate
habits, and had been, fur two weeks previous to this
death, constantly under the influence of orient spirits
and on the:night proceeding themorning of his:death
he manifested strong, symptoms of delirium tretnens,
and whilst in that state, about 10 o'clock at night,
he was married and minted to bed about 11 o'cluck.
that, after he got in bed he exchanged a few words
with his wife and then fell asleep, and was found
dead in his bed on Thursday morning about light;
and the jury beliertid, from the evidence, tnat the
deceased came to his death by congestion of the
brain and stomach, pr9duced by the habitual use of
intoxicating drinks."

It has generally been supposed that General Tay
-1(,),t; mlt i Oati.v in t h e flat, JIIIg Vista:
on the 24th his charger was a mule! This is true,
beyond contradiction. Whitey was then in a stall
Monterey. full GO miles distant from the fight.—
I make this statemeat to save the old humbug's tail
front such speculators; as were at work on it some
night last week, when well nigh half the hair there
of was stolen, rumor says, by some enterprizing
Yankee, who designs retailing it to patriotic anti
war Whig gentleman and ladies, by the strand, for
breast pins! The mule, be it remembered, and not
Whitey, is the equean hero for whom the Seward
curry comb should have, been presented •by New
York's illustrious statesman.
Among other strange allowances:made by the pre
sent administration, in one to Air. Bailey Peyton,
812,000 in the shape of extra lawyer's' fees. You
will recollect that he was Harriso3's District Attor
ney for LOuisana. This clain is understood to have
something to do with his connection with the gov -
moment. in that capacity. So they thus seem to be
all feathering, their nests. The.payment of this de
mand, is`said to have been refused by the'Tyler ad
ministration, as well as that of Polk.
LABOR IS TO OFTEN Dminsito..—What can be more
ridiculous, says the Albany Knickerbocker, than the
false pride shown by many of our young men. We
daily see many of them loafing aboat corners of the
streets, and seated by the bar-room stoves, well
dressed, though they do not earn their own living by
labor of any kind, and who, if they were asked to
saw a load of wood, or carry in half a ton of coil,
that they might earn a few shillings, would ihdig
witty refuse the job from feelings, of false pride.
Such drones should be kicked out of society, to
which they aro of !nn earthly use.
Mrs. Ireland and her daughter, of Qoincey, 111.,
came to an awful death by freezing and starvation
on the mountains during the past winter. They
were on their tyay to California. The wife and dau
ghter, with the 'full knowledge of their situation,
and after they had burned up their wagon for fire
wood, insisted upon the husband and father leaving
them to their fate, and seeking his own 'safety. lie
did so.
A CAVE FouNo.L—The Shepherdstown (Va.)
Register says that as the workmen at the cement
quarry of Mr. Alexander R. Boleler were blasting
on Friday week, they blow off a rock from the front
of what was soon discovered to be II natural cave.
The entrance is of the size of a barrel. One of the
men entered it the distance of a few feet, and drew
out the neck of a black bottle, and also a horse-Shoe.

The Day Dawns.
The eleelion•of Hon. R. M. Young. Clerk Odle House
of Representatives, is a gratifying indication that a bet
ter state of feeling is obtaining among the Democracy at
Washington. At the commencement of tho session, al
thought in a majority we could not elect that officer, but
wore enmpolled. after the Waste of mach time, and the
indulgence of'not a little disgraceful wrangling,'to allow
-the wh L igs to carry onto prize. Now, however,. tho day
dawns 'upon the Democracy. They are becoming united,
and everything indicates a determination to work in har
ness at in days of yore. : Let the Democrats at the seat
of Gov i ernment do this—lot them stand by one another
and their principles shoulder to shoulder, and rebuke and
put down faction there in the bud, and the people will
sustain them. The state of tho country demands that
our par i ty should forget fts divisions, and seek by union,
hat:moil and consession, to wrest the reigns of Govern
ment fr i om the hands of the present corrupt and specula
ting dynasty. This work has commenced well—lot it be
contimed, and the . auspicious daWn wilt ho developed to

—Cottrusuutville courier.
The Editor of the Courier carries at the head of hie
paper's motto which rends somewhat in this wise;
"Pledged but to Truth, to Liberty, and to Law." Now,
we ask him in all cUndor, is the above paragraph **pledg
ed to Truth?" Has ho lived up to his motto? Let us
see. "It is a well established principle of moral Ethics
that he: who, in giving testimony. conceals the truth, is
as much guilty of falsehood as though he manufactured a
he out Qf whole cloth. Now, the Courier concealetho fact
from his readers that Col. Banton made the first domcin
stratiori of personal violence—that Foote was addressing
the Senate, and had not transgressed the rules of debate,
for the ' Vice President had not calkd hint to order. This,
his rernarke, as reported in the Globe, and many other
accounts we have read, prove. Ho' conceals the fact
that Benton throw his" chain from him, and made a rush
at Foote before any body was hardly aware that it was the
Senator from the Missouri the SpoUlter was alluding to.
Why not this?—why not gave the whole facts of
the case, and leave his readers to draw their own con
clusions as to the extent of the culpability of Foote in
drawing a pistol? Why leave his readers to infer that
Benton was perfectly in cuder—was in his scat—had
done nothing—and that Foote. without cause or motive,
attempted to assassinato him? We era not to bo under
stood as defending Foote—far from 10—but we like*to
see justice done, though the heavens should full. .We
dislike this making a saint o'ut of a sinner, or another
sinner worse than he really is. They were both to
blaino,' that is evident—ana both ought to be' ,held
up to the censure of the public by every press 'whether it
is "pledged to truth, to liberty and to law; ,or not.] Foote
was to blame for carryiug a pistol into the Senate, although
he al:edges that he 'had been told Benton intended to
commit personal violence upon him. Benton was to blame
for allowing himself to become excited before he bad
cause, and when so excited, attempting to take personal
satisfaction upon the Boor of the Senate. He should have
waited until the senate adjourned, and then pounded him
like a loafer, or fought him like& gentleman. He would
have disgraced nobody then bat hiinself.

A Short Sermon on a'Familiar Subject.

advantages the construction of such a road to the country
through which it is proposed to bo built, and to the public
generally, in a strong and convincing light. Ho estimates
