Few readers, perhaps, have ever seen the name of Simon Weaver in print, and fewer still would know who the man was should it be seen. Diver*, a* a das*, ami in spite of all the sale-guard* alßuded tbem by modern scieacw, paas a mo*t precarious existence, and <wch time a descent is made, be the water deep or shallow, tbe practiced direr teels that perhaps his last glimpse ot sun, shy and friends has been taken. Those ol the most experience feel this the more keenly. One night while tbe snow drove like lail against the only window in the boose, faring tbe sea, 1 found myself one of a party of divers, wreckers and contractor* for such work. I had asked many questions of the sev eral talkers forming the circle, as to the life, incidents and dangers of tbe profession, when Captain Stephen L , an old gray beard among divers and such ilk, nudged me. aud whispered that if I could get old Simon Weaver into the talking humor my tfesirc far stirring incident would be fully gratified. Cautiously approaching the subject of personal adventure under water, for Wcaver proved a little shy, by a lew well-timed questions, 1 succeeded in u briuging him out'' to my entire satisfaction. As I write tbe words of tbe old man, I seem to see tbe earnest glance, the erect figure, ami tbe almost snow-white head shaking and nodding as the memory of bis exploit* came before his mind. Taking a fresh attitude in his chair, and costing his eyes from one to the t ther of us "boys," as he called tbe younger mem bet* of the party, tbe old diver began. u Few ot our officers on duty off Charles ton in lfi6- will forget when tbe news came out to the wooden fleet that a moni tor bad been partially disabled, and that until something could be done ber situation was extremely critical. Sbe lav quite near the batteries and as though divining her danger, their guns were plunging their shot and shell against her with the fiercest energy. u It was soon known that a diver would be called into requisition to do the work under water, while the guns of Sumter lade t&ir to demolish the whole ship in a few hours. * Being the most experienced of the div ing corps on dnty at that time, the Admiral sent for me without delay, and laying the difficulty before mc, asked if I would un dertake the job. By a few judiciously put questions I was soon placed in possession of all the lacts the work to be done, and the result* to be expected liom success. *• The propeller of the vessel had been fouled by some ol the numerous obstruc tion* set afloat by the enemy, and not wishiug to emlanger any other vessel in the same manner, the Admiral desired to send me alongside in a steam picket lioat with my best diving gear, and try to maze a successful descent. 44 In due time we, that is, myself and four more whom I could trust under *ll peril, arrived at the place of And now, before going further with my story, let me try to give an idea of the situation, and its cause. A vessel had been sent in to recunoiter, and, if ueces serr, to lire '*l tie batteries to ascertain their force and strength. " Proceeding cautiously until withiu a few hundred yard* of Sumter, she had unconsciously drifted too close to the line of obstructions defending the entrance to the harbor, and in turning to come out, her propeller, as I said before, had become entangled among ropes and chains. All effort* t release the ship from her perilous position had (ailed, hence the call lor a direr. Immediately on perceiving the state of affairs, no hard task, the enemy bad opened a fearful fire from all guns within range on the single craft, and seemed bent on ber destruction before as sistance could reach her. " The shot fell fast and furious against the iron of her turret and side armor, while the water on all sides fairly boiled from the frequent shot striking its surface. It seemed a veritable iron bail. "As our little picket boat approached the scene of conflict, the firing suddenly ceased, and we were fortunate enough to get below with the apparatus before the storm again burst over the trembling ship. The cause of this apparent kindness was made known to us the following day by a deserter from Fort Sumter. 44 As the picket steamer approached the monitor, the enemy imagined t hat a message from the Yankee commander was about to lie received, looking to an armistice or surrender, so slackened fire. After wait ing a few moments, and the expected Hag of truce not making its appearance, the enemy saw that somehow they had been outwitted, and the shower of shot and shell seemed to increase in fierceness as they reopened fire. "In a short time I saw liow matters stoo-I, and succeeded in finding a place on the lee side of the turret, where, if the ship could be kept in one position, no shot could reach ine. Carefully instructing my men as to their duties, I at length got my ladder overboard on the safe side, and made it fast in such a manner that should the wind change or rise during my absence under water, my means of escape should not be entirely cut off. Leading tny air pipe up through the turret and out through one of the ports, I secured them to my helmet, and requested that all firing from the ship be suspended during my absence, for experience had taught me the danger of a heavy discharge directly overhead of a diver. " The position of the turret favored my request, and placing its back to the enemy enabled me to use the gun port as I have described. As my life would hang upon a thread at best, 1 made every arrangemei* for safety that experience could suggest, even going myself into the engine-room and enjoining upon the engineer of the watch not to allow the engines to be started upon any consideration until my return from the perilous undertaking, the success or failure of which assured the safety or loss of the vessel. The pump for supplying me with air was fixed in the turret-chamber, and as the fragments of shot, which still poured in from Sumter, miaht cut the air tube as it crossed the deck, I had arranged a stout iron pipe as a sheath, and discarded entirely the usual signal-line. " All being in readiness, after personally inspecting all of the apparatus, I cautiously made my way to the ladder, and having fixed my Jhelmet firmly in its place, and secured my kit of toole, hammer, MY, FRED.

Being bur fifteen or sixteen feet below the surface, I had no difficulty in perceiving the trouble with the propeller, which wss this : a niece of chain attacheii to the floating obstructions had ktWR* so wouud aUuit the propeller s'rult, between the blades ami st en-post, as to become per fectly rigid. " Sly tis Is preporcd for iu*t *uch work, 1 began operations at once, and soon bad two or three of the links, which *iw quite small, severed, ami as I afterward learuesi, released the strain so suddenly that the engines gave one quick, short, partial revolution, 'on a varum,' cne of the engineers told me afterward, and one of the blades stnkingjin expiration tube, threw me from my feet, and for a moment it seemed that my fate was scaled 44 The screw stopped as suddenly as it bad started, and somehow I struggled to my feet again. Seeing ut a few strokes more were needed to complete my job, I soon had the good old-ship in fighting trim again, so far at least as her propeller was concerned. " Being now at liberty to return, I cau tiously retraced my steps to where the ladder hung idly swinging to and Ire in the water, and was about to mount to the surface, wheu with a crash ami roar of ten thousand shots, a big shell fell ap|>arently right over my head, and after what seemed but the traction of a second, settled, as 1 thought, directly upon me. l*assing but a few :eet distant, it bad scare ly reached the bottom when the very earth and sea seemed shattered to atoms. u The shell had exploded almost beside mc ! Bv sme means tie hooks provided in the breast of my armor had become fastened to a rung of my ladder, else this tale had never been told. Stunned and racked as it was, the instinct ot self-pres ervation urged -i e to attempt the ascent ol my only read to safety, the ladder, when, to iny horror, the current began swaymg me back and fotth in such a man ner that I found it impossible to do aught but bold ou and trust to the chapter of cridents (or relief. " In an in*tant.a(ter I became aware of the current, a dull, regular beat, united to a seeming tremor ot the ship, convinced me that the ship was under way, and probably steaming out to the fleet. A glimpse or two at the bottom assured me of tbi*, for 1 could plainly sic it gliding past u til the shoals deepened and nothing could be seen underneath mc but water. Imagine my situation, jm youngsters who think you nave seen danger—towed to sea under a monitor! "The motion rapidly grew more violent, and had it not been for the hooks I have spoken of, death would have Wen inevi table, for my strength would not have enabled me to retain my hold on the lad der, and I should bare drowned, my body weighed down by armor beyond recovery. "AH of this time, in reality minutes, but seemingly hours, roy faithful meu within the turret chamber had not ceased to give me a plentiful supply of air, so roy only danger lay in being swept away. After what seemed miles of gtound passed over, and hours of time, the beat of the engine grew gradually slower, then stopped, and no sooner did I feel the pressure of the current relax, than I prepared to make the best of way to the surface. " I remember no more. A deadly faint scixcd me, and for hours I lay without life, vibrating between this world and the one beyond. Returning sense* revealed my four meu around me, on the wardroom table, doing their utmost in uiy behalf, and only gave way to the surgeon when a heavy groan and slowly opening eyes told that roy life was safe. '• I s eedily recovered, and for the first time learned the details of my great peril and marvelous escape. " Immediately on the strain being taken off of the propeller by the chains being cut, the engines gave the quick partial revolution which I have mentioned, nd the engineer, as in dutv bound, of course, reported th t the disability to the machin ery being removed he was prepared to go ahead at any moment. "It wa but a few minutes after this that the tide Iwgan to flow, causing the current I have spoken of, and the devoted vessel bade fair to be again drifted among the dreaded obstructions and still marer to .Sumter, whose guns never ceased their roar all this time. " Captain , to prevent this threat ened catastrophe, and feeling certain that I was clear of danger from the propeller, determined to go ahead a short distance to clear all danger from the obstructions, and then to await my return to the surface before proceeding farther. "Can-fully watching theair-pi|>eleading overboard, tlie engines w*re started slowly, and as the ship gathered headway, and the pipe remained without visible strain, it was concluded that my ascent had begun, as in truth was the fact; so instead of coining to after steaming a short distance, the ship was headed for the fleet, and only came to anchor when within hail of the flag-ship. The rest I have told you. "As no result of that day's work, I was sent home, on the siok-liat, and from that day to th s, young man," turning to me as lie spoke, •' I have never been rnsidu a diver's dress, and never intend to be agiin." As the old man approached the conclu sion, he grew quite excited, as indeed had his listeners, and as the tones of bis voice died away, the wind outside, gathering fresh fuiy, seemed to shake the old house to its very foundation.

Den a in the Mine*. We are now in the earil. tblfifl, says one who has lieoP there, and the passage we walk. aiouK no freely was the led of a acaui of euai, long since rauiovud by the miners who have pushed on into (he IHIWCU of the hill, and gre no# AT work mile* away teeriny out the shining walla that uUpute their further progreto.

At intervals we are confronted by mamive woixh'ti jjoor* ted L> control current* Of Air and secure ventilation. Afbv walking a good mile, and seeing nothing but uiuhw hauling the coal car* along the track to some place in the mysterious distance, we come at last to the chamtiers where the minora are at work. We find these chaiuliers to he {auwagea like those through which we entered: some bl"o I aud high, some low and cramped, all supplied with iron track* leading to the cnj. At the ex tremities of the**' ChaUilter* or work ings the miner stand*, pick or bar in hand, delving and wrenching to remove huge masses of coal from the seam whoae lead he is following. Here is the coal we seek, and here is the miner, laboring patiently l>v the dim light of bis single lamp, isolated by walls of rock and earth from his companions, water dripping from the rtof and standing in nooU at his feet, in constant danger, and alloUsl to incessant toil. The huge chunks of coal, wrought out by manual force or Masting powder, fall into heaps on the flour and are loaded ly the miner or hi* help into a car that stands tTady, then drawn by muleft along the gangway to the shaft, ami hoite*l by machinery to the surface above. This shaft is the commencement of o{aratiotis in opening a mine, and is connected by gangways with every ehamlier worked, and some times extends a hundred fathoms into the earth. A mine rnanv hundred feet deep is in splendid working order ; tuen, and horses, filled with animation and indus try, throng the chainlrrs ; the sound of the busy hammer, pick iud car enlivens the sense, and everything in cheerful contrast with the gloom that envelopes all. Suddenly, by some unseen cause, the eircuUtionio! "air is interrupted : fire damp immediately accumulate* to an explosive degree in some portion of tho mini*, and an unthinking miner enter* the region and sets the whole in a blaze, which suffocates and consume* every thing in reach. Such is the force of this concussion and those succeeding, that those out of the range of flame an' stnnned or prostrated by tin* shock. Their lights are blown out and the warn ing that the explosion may tie rolling along the rhandlers to meet them, causes many to hurry to the nearest shaft Unusual heaps of rubbish im pede their progress, and they wainler in the wild confusion to uncertain alleys, and sink down, overcome by noxious vapors, or are swallowed up in the seeth ing atmosphere of flame that may pene trate every part of the mine. The miners of this region earn very high wagi-s the year round when they work. Those who are aolier and frugal own their own house* snd save money. The life is rather an adventurous one, and the temptation is to sjiend their earnings freely. The grocery bills of some small families average fifty and six ty dollars per month, the women declar ing that their good meu work hard for their money, and their only comfort is in what thev eat and driuk. But tin* underground work is not necessarily more severe titan certain kinds of labor done npoa the surface. It is seldom that a miner will leave the works and come to the sod to earn his living. The mining is done at so mnch per cor, and they cau have their own way. and in a dry' well veatiUted mine they suffer no severe extremes of weather, and are generally healthy. But in mine* where the beds are thin, and the way in and out is through narrow, cramped alleys, filled with fon! air, water streaming from the roof and knee-deep on the floor, and the air so heavy that a candle shed* no light ten or fifteen feet awny and mnst tie, constantly swung to keep up the flame, then the miner's life is one of un ending hardship, and must he endured to be appreciated. The tabor Question. Some time ago it was stated that ar rangements were making by the Trade*' Union Hocietios, for a general strike, not only throughout the United States, but throughout the entire civilized world. This labor question is aasnming formid able proportions throughout Europe. In England, Belgium, Franoe, Holland, and Germany powerful organizations exist among workmen for the ameliora tion of their condition and for the devis ing of schemes for the efficient proaecti tion of the great war on capital. The workingmeu'a committee of the varions European societies have summoned a general congress of workmen to meet in Berlin at some date this Winter, and in the summons the committee suggest as their platform the arganization of a general strike for the daily term of labor and for a general increase of wngea. Wendell Phillipe lately delivered in Boston, a lecture, the first of a course which he is to deliver in varions parte of the conntry, on the labor question. Mr. Phillips' discourse is a strong denunci ation of the wrongs inflicted on labor by capital, and an argument to prove that the tendency of the present great move ment is the equalization of property. Mr. Tbomss Bramey, one of the largest employers of labor in England, proposes the adoption of the system in vogue at sea, namely, the employment of three seta of men to work eight hours each ont of the twenty-four.

" Well, 1 am sorry to trouble you, i madam ; but 1 certainly should like to have a few miuute.-t' conversation with him." replied Young Upon this the wouian called to a little boy : "Tommy, rtut and tell your father a gentleman want* to a|>eak to him."

After the many revelations recently published on the adulteration of tea, our tea drinkers ought to be pre}tarrd for worse urwa than that they arc, according to the discovery of a French savant, consuming a quantity'of leather in their favorite leverage, sufficient in the course of a year, for the manufacture of a stout pair of l>oots. The consumption of this wholcsome article of food is not confined | t, the drinkers of "lie tea,'"btlt includes even stit'ii as iudtilge in the most costly and genuine qualities, supposing them to mix the beverage with milk or cream. It is to this most innocuous of drinks that wt> are indebted for the addition to oar chori'hed evening draught of an iugrcdicnt proverbial for its indigest ibilitv. T<n leave* contain a portion of tunnfo acid, which iu the liquid state is suspended in solution. Milk, on the other hand, contains a proportion of wliite of egg, and the two constituents being the main ingredient* of lesther, readily combine on mixing tlio fluids, lidding by the globules or leather-like substances which tliey form to the opa city of the compound liquid. We do not apprehend that this disco very will deter any of oar reader* from taking their accustomed allowance of tea. It may possibly, by the scientific explana tion of the process, even mid a new relish to their enjoyment. At any rate they ought to be th*ankfiil to learn what excellent powers of digestion tliey arc gifh-d with, enabling them to digest shoe-leather, though even this may be no novel intelligence after the convinc ing demonstrations furnished by their butchers. Ntory or a Magpie. "I will tell yon a story," says a writer, "in regard to women who eat dainty morsels in the absence of their lords. There was a lady who hail a Magpie in a cage, which talked of everything which it saw done. Now it happem-d that the lord of the household preserved a large eel iu a pond, and kept it very carefully in order to give it to some of his lords or of his friends, in case they should visit him. 80 it happened that the lady said to her female attendant that it would lie good to cat the great eel ; and accordingly they ate it, and agreed that they ueuld teil their lord that the otter had eaten it. And when the lord returned, the pie begau to say to him, ' My lord, my lady has eaten the eel.' Then tlie lord went to his pond, and missed the eel, and he went into the house, aud naked his wife what had become of it. She thought to excuse herself easily ; but he said that he knew all about it, and tlmt the pie had told him. The result was that there was 6 rest quarrelling and trouble in the ouae ; hut when tlio lord was gone away, the lady nnd Iter female attendant went to the pie, and plucked all its feathers from its head, saying, ' Yon told about the eel.' And so the poor pie was quite bald. But from that time forward, when it saw any people who wore lmld, or had large foreheads, tlie pie said to them, ' Ah ! you told about tlio eel." VEHT SAD.—A lady writing from Chi cago says, one of the saddest features is the suffering among women in delicate health. It is estimsited by a responsible physician of onr city that five hundred babes were born on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, after the fire among the sufferers. Forty were born in lan coin Park on Tuesday. Events of the most heart-rending character are luing brought to light One jmor woman on the North Side was in bed with a babe a few hours' old when the house canght fire. The inmates in their flight forgot the poor woman and her babe. She rose from her t>ed, rapped a sheet around her self and child, ami made her way to the street. There she was found dead, with the babe iu her arms. FNOOOI.NO IN THE Human ABMT.— An English journal states that last year in the English army 41 cavalry Boldiers were flogged, who received 19,751 lashes in all. In the infantry 9G men received 4.H47 lashes, in the artillery 41 men 5,750 lushes, and in the engineers one man 25 lashes, while in the militia no case of flogging oconred. Thus, in the cavakv, for example, each of the unfor tunate culpits drew as his share 489 strokes of the oat, and a fraotion. A Famous Auctioneer. ' The most eflb ieut auctioneer that ever live.l, probably! was tie >rge By bias, ol lsindon, who flourished sUitit thirty of forty years ago. His oilvertiaementa wore marvelous pieces of composition, which none of his successors in the same buainnss have ever succeeded in imitating. He was a very " Admirable C'richtou," a man of universal know ledge, never at a loss, aud with a ja>wr of ittawuifying the good qualities of the wares It* was sclliug, such afl flo auctAran eer, before or since his day, has ever E recused. It was a literary treat to see in sell a library ; but the place host fitted for tlie display of lua abilities, was the rale of a fine country house. In IH2O, the magnificent FonthiJl Abley, ownwl by the brilliant Beckford, came"to tlie hammer. That it would be knocked down for one quarter of its real Value seemed inevitable, but Robius was ermal to the eiiiergency. Taking the oJvaufcq;* of tjio groat fan" Of Beckford, and the rumoiw which de* crilied tlie house as surpassing the grand ret palaces of the East in sumptuoua elegance, ho announced that no one would be admitted to view the bouse who did not purchase a catalogue— tmce. one guinea. The fashionable world felt bound to see these wonderful sights, and rushed in crowds to buy catalogue*. Eighty thousand of tliem were sold, aud ritople journeved from all parts of the ingdouj. to j'-ast their eyes on the mar velritts Fon thill. Iu the height of the fnmr* the sale began, and lastel thirty - three days. The abbey was knocked down for A3!tO,UOO—a third more than it* worth. Picture*, furniture, etc.. brought fabulous sums.

The Swedes is Maine. In manners the Sw i'das who have set tled in Maine are said to lie modest and retiring, but noticeably kind, obliging and courteous. To strangers they show the politest attentions, and tender them the Wannest hospitalities. They are al so kindly considerate df e*eh otbar's hap piness and wj lfsre, and train their child ren into strictest habits and morality, obedience and |*diteuea*. Their dress is at present s strange mixture of American and Swedish costume*. Those who re tain the national dross wear wooden shoes, made long and low, painted black, and with hfgh heels and p tinted or turn ed up toe*. The dress of the men does not otherwise differ from tbe various eosj tutnes seen in our own country, save that they are of somes hat antiquated pattern*. The costumes of the women and children are quaint sud queer enough. Tbe wo men and girls all wear h&nkerchiefs made of the nicest silk, folded with great ear* over their heads, and tied firmly luit softly under their chin, looking vnrv odd, to be sure,but at the same time lotii sen sible, pretty sud comfortable. A long narrow apron is also an indispensable appendage to a complete toilet. The dress itself has generally a straight, full skirt, with em or two" tucks, a plaint short, round waist, and short, straight, sleeves. The little children look funnv enough clad precisely like father and mother. The panted, reeled and catt ed little boys, end the nice little maidens in loug dnwses, narrow aproua and ker chief*, demurely and soberly tied under the Pbiu, presold the appearance of dwarfed editions of manhood and woman hood. Some of the ladies have dispens ed with the kerchief, and supplanting their places arc successfully-attempted chignons, surmounted by fiat straw lints. Quite a number of silk dresses, s few gold chains and some nice jewelry were also conspicuous. It is to pa remember ed that tficse colonists are BT no tdeant poor, but hrtmght with them a deal of baggage and money. A Cohan Execution. Lopez haajtieen executed in Havana. Having IHH-U condemned by court-mar tial he wan garrotod at the aide of the Castle of the Principe and outside the city.. He sainted the crowd, ahowing the shackles which pinioned him, when at the foot of the step* leading to the platform, and the officers in charge of nim—volunteers— fearing that he might address the People, harried him up the steps, wounved as he was. When he aat down on the bench it was found to I* too low to allow his neck to come up to the fntal Iron collar. The second time he ant down he waa too high. At last, after the fifth attempt, the garmte waa adjusted round his throat. The in strument waa ao badly arranged that it broke on the firat twist given to the crew by the executioner, and then the victim had to be lifted np, while with his head hanging in the collar the gar rote waa repaired. When 1/opex sat down the seventh time, he seemed to strain his nerves for one supreme effort, and lifting his liands to Heaven, veiled forth in a voice heard by the whole as sembled crdwd, " Death to Spain !" What followed Is conceivable only of cannibals. Two volunteer officers as cended to the platform, and to prove that their victim waa really dead, they lifted him from the beuch several time*, tbey made the executioner give several more twista to the •crew, and took the face of the oorjiae—which was an undis tinguishahle mass of bloody flesh, with the eyes protruding from the sockets— in their hands, turning it toward the people. How He Hid IU A certain burglar, otxbeing taken to Ring Sing prison was asked what was his profession ? "A hank clerk," said he. He then told the following story to illustrate how he obtained his profession. The method is certainly ingenious, though not to be recommended for general adoption: '•I was watching a country bank for some little time, and I noticed that the paying teller wore a striped coat and straw hat The clerks left the bank at about 1 o'clock for dinner. I got a straw hat and a striped coat, and for several days took my seat on the steps of the bank. One day I saw my oppor tunity. The paying teller and most of the clerks were out I went In, pulled off my hat and coat, hung them np where I bad seen the teller hang his, and went around to the desk. The books were open, oud here and there were piles of bills. I went to work at the Docks, and made the moat remarkable entries ever recorded in the books of suy bank in this world or any other. I pocketed the bills one after another, and putting on my coat and hat, I went on my way fifteen thousand dollars bet ter off than ever I was before."

Tbe following article was signed by thd Captain* of the thirty-three wrecked whale** ! " Know all men by this* peasant*— That we, Master* of whale ships no* lying at Point Belcher, after holding a meeting concerning our dreadful situa tion, have all coma to the conclusion that our ships cannot be got out this year, and there being no hanxir that we i-ould get our vessel* into, and not hav ing provisions enough to feed our crews to exceed three months, and being in s barren country where there is neither food nor ftiel to be obtained, we feel ourselves under the painful necessity of abandoning our Teasels and trying to work our Bay south with our beats, and, if possible, get on board of the ships that are smith of the ice. We think it would not be prudent to leave a single soul to look after our vessel* as the first westerly gale will crowd the Ice ashore, and eitner crush tbe ships or drive them liard upon the beach. -■ Three of the fleet have already leen crushed, and two are now half oot of the water which have len crushed tor the ice, and are leaking badly. We | have five wrecked crews distributed among us. We hate barely mom to swing at anchor between the pack of It* and tne beach, aud are lying in three fathoms of water. Should we be cast niton the lwaob, it would be st least eleven months belure we could look for assistance, and in all probability nine dot of ten of the men would die of wtanmtioe or scurvy liefore the opening of the Spring. Therefore, we haTe arrived at this conclusion, after the its turn of our expedition under command of Captain P. Frmxer, of the Florida, he having with whale boats worked to the southward as far as Blossom Shoals, and found that the ice pressed ashore the entire diatauoe from our |osition in the Shoals, leaving in several places only sufficient depth of water for our boats to pass through, and thus liable st soy moment to be frosen over during the ! twenty-four hours which would cot off i ottr return even by the boats, as Captain Frarer had to work through a consider able quantity of young ice during his etiwMtltion, which cut up his boats bad HoanrabE.—While we of this country , have lieeu suffering much from fire, | China and India nave l<een visited by desolating floods, which have done an enormous amount of damagtv A Tient sin correspondent of the Norlk Ckima Hrrald says that after the partial sulmi denee of the great floods, many human bodies were found floating about in the east plain. The distress of the inhabi tants was great, and thousands of them would probably die for want of food. The bank* of the Yung-ting river—an nfllnent of the Poiho —haa burst aud oc casioned the mischief. Southern China also was suffering, and Ixxliea of drown* ed persons were floating past Swatow. In India the city of Jouopore, contain ing over twenty-five thousand Inhabi tants, haa been dissolved and borne away by the rising waters of the river Oumti.' This disaster was accompanied, or rather preceded, by deficient harvest*, and the wnole section of the country is in the deepest distress.
