From I fie Baltimore-Sun of February 2d. A SINGULAR CASE.; Last week, in Baltimore County Court, Judges Purviauce and. Magruder bn the bench, the case of J. S. Tyson, administra tor of Alexander Wright vs, Nathaniel Rob inson, was tried. This was an action brought by the administrator to recover a balance of 68t)0, due the estate of Alexander Wright, from N. Robinson. The evidence before the court showed that Wright,, od'his way to Baltimore as a country mefr: •. chant, to purchase goods, became indispo . sed, and, by advice of others, was induced to take a glass of toddy. He*, did so, and feeling better; he was, of his oWn accord, ,4ispased.£o.takban6thei;,glaB3jah;l tp.repeat^ it.sq pften, that,•although he had always a short time, the slave of drink., In a state of mental derangement he was carried to the - Maryland Hospital. There, under the kind and judicious treatmiTnt. of Dr. Fisher, he was soon restored to sanity of mind hud comparatively good health—although' not Bufficicnt to justify his discharge. He was permitted to walk abroad, and return. He did so, two or three times, but, at last, fail ed to return to the Hospital any more. This was on the sth of May, 1839. Dr. Fisher soon learned, however, that his patient had taken up his residence in the house of the defendant, N. Robinson, who', keeps a tav ern,iira^maU^Vay,-neai-theMary,land-Hos- pital; Feeling concerned for par ticularly for his new location, th*e Doctor went to ace him, in order, if possible, to in duce Kim to return. The inmates of the house, in the opinion of the Doctor, were decidedly indisposed to permit Wright to be seen. Wright, however, ns if accidentally and without their’?wish, stepped into the room, and as the Doctor believed, under the influence of liquor* Even in that state he seemed half inclined to return to the Hosr pital, but was finally induced by the persua sion Of Robinson to remain. He was soon reduded to the same melancholy condition from which he had been restored by .the at tention of the Doctor. In the meantime the money put into the hands of the Doctor for safe-keeping, by Wright, was demanded and obtained by Robinson, being in amount 01150 62. Wright continued frojn that time almost till death in a .'stale of beastly intoxication. Dr. Kinneman, a highly res pectable physician, was Called in to sto hiur, and testified that from the 21st of Juno to the 16th of July, he was in a state of.mental alienation. The.physician partially resto red hiin,‘ but he was immediately re-plunged into Ids former condition, in which he con tinued ontil the 29th of August, 1830, when he was taken back to’the Maryland Hospit al, where he died in, the course of -two,-or three days-.

Andrbws, whom' Wo' Saw bn - ■' :±yy' his idnding from the Nottingham yesterday’ forenoon,,we received a "verbal account ol the disaster. It was, in substance, as Jot- Ip war ••We sailed from .liiverpnoKou, .-ay last, at noon, with the wind SSW; ;£no cteW" consisted of 18, and the" passengers in the steerage of 106. We had a full cargo of manufactured goods. On Saturday morn in"- at two o’clock; the wind blowing fresh from SSW. and When the ship was under double-reefed” topkails, the Jib,' spanker, and" mainsail in, saw a steamer to windward on the. larboard-bow: The ship’s helm was in- Stantly put hard-a-port. The steamer cross ed bur bow, and we struck her right amid ships. From the force of the collision, -it vyas evident that either the ship or the stea mer would sink, or perhaps both:- instantly.l felt that the ship, the hows of which; were stove in, was sinking. . I’ cried out to „tho crow (all the pasaehgerp were below) to en deavor In save their fives. ’ They, instead of running forward,.through fear, ran aft. My Brat object Was to ejuleavor to save the crew and passengers, biff so rapid was the. sink ing of the ship, I found it impossible to do any thing to accomplish-that'object. I and the mate then ran.forward, and, {hilling the ship fast sinking, I tried to jump on the steamer. Fading in thefirst attempt, through a Momentary faintness, I made a, second, and, just as the ship was at .the water’s edge, succeeded in grasping a* rope which-was' banging over the steaiper’s side.: The mate saved his life byjumping from the forcyard arm bn the steamer’s deck. ‘ In one minute the ship sank, with sixteen of her crew and all her passengers, amounting to 122 souls; The steamer’s boat was instantly lowered for the purpose of making an attempt to save such of the crew and passengers as might be floating, but it unfortunately swamped a longside.” ■ ' • - wards heard the aefcount of the catastrophe given by the persons who were | on the deck of the'Nottingham when the collision occurred. • It is, in as follows: • “About a quarter past two o’clock on Sa-. (urday morning, when about 15 miles to the westward of Holyhead,, the weather calm, but rather thick, one of the men of the watch saw a ship bearing down upon the Nutting-, ham. - She had‘no light at. her mast, while the steamer hail three lights. He reported tjyejja.qtjo the~Becon.d mate, who was-, then atthewliceK- TimSecoiTd' slnp*and was answ'crod;/:;JIe. starboard the helm; This, (hey thought, was, not done.. -A voice from the ship, which was supposed to have been that of the captain, requested the steamer to starboard her hel|n, as he could hot bring the ship over, she not answering her . helm. At this instant the Govcrnor'Fenner struck the Ndttingham a-- midships., In less than five minutes the ship filled with water,’ and disappeared,— The steamer became quite motionless after the.shock, and the" people on board of her were unable to make the least attempt to succor those oh board the ship, which sunk bow foremost. The screams of th§ people on the wreck.wcrc heart-rending, but they soon ceased, and all was still. The steam er’s starboard aide was completely stove in, thp paddlcshaft and wheel were shivered in pieces, the starboard engine was broken, and the funnel carried away. Seventeen cows were killed, 7 more and 78 sheep were thrown overboard, and 11’died before the vessel leached port.- On Saturday evening the wreck of the Nottingham was fallen in with by another steamer, and towed into the Mersey. . . . The opinion on board (he Nottingham was, 1 that the Governor Fenner’s helm,instead of being put to starboard, as it ought.-.to have, been,- must-have been to port; fur if it had been put to starboard, the ship, would have cleared the steamer.” The passengers were all DcloW in their berths when the collision between ■ the ship and the steamer took place.' The shock caused' by it would of course rouse even those who might have been asleep. No doubt they- would make a ruslptowards .the deck.’ The interval, however, which elapsed'her; tween the shock and the sinking was sqshorfy scayceljr five minutes,: that.veiy fenyf anj'i could have succeeded in reaching iti So that, in all probability, the ihost of them hail perished in their berths. ’ The mate, we un derstand, had been married a few days only before the ship sailed on her voyage,’the .captain had given his wife a berth with her husband in the cabin’.- When the,fate of the ship-became inevitable, he attempted to run’ aft to rescue his wjfe. HFime failed him; the instinct of sclf prcsorvation becamc strong; lie sprang up the .shrouds; and reached the steamer, as we ImvervJ ready stated, by jump.- ing“ffdm the foreyard-arin.-' .

MR. VAN BUREN’S RECEPTION IN NEW YORK.

Mr. -Van Bo ren’s reception in that city bri Tuesday last, which must have been a scene of the most striking and impressive The ex- President, it will be observed, arrived in the m]dst of a violent tempest, but this, instead of checking' the nfdor of liis friends secms rather to have added to their enthusiaaiiV.— :Sucb~a”receptioif;-muBt indeed- bavebccn cheering. The Sun gays: ' . “We have seen so many pnblic receptions in fair-weather in . this city, that they have become rather tame affairs. But we yester day beheld for the first time arcception in a ston'n— j-aud such a storm! Haying; accomr panted ■th&^ spectator,, we can-speak from pcraoiial ob servation. There was sublimity as.well as novelty in the scene. The steamboat Supe rior, which had been chartered for the occa sion,deft Je'rseyCity at about.half;past three, with the Ex-President and about three or four hundred other person so aboard. It was ebb time, and the wind blowing a gale from the. south. We have seldom seen a heavier sea in the bay. The boat rolled and pitched so that it was difficult for any-one-to stamL. and the rain poured down in torrents. As] we approached the shore, \vc were astonish- j cd to find-such an immense throng crowding Castle Garden, the' Battery, and the pier?,, and braving the very elements. _As the shouts of the multitude and the music of the bands mingled with the peal of the artillery, rose above the roar of the tempest,, the scene was truly one of grandeur. From the Bat tery, where the procession was formed, to the* Park, every window and every favorable position was occupied by spectators. The | procession, which was very large, proceeded through Broadway, Blcccker street, down the Bowery,,ami through Chatham street, to Tammany Hall, where Mr. Van Buren was addressed by tlie Hon. Robert H. Morris,] and made a feeling and appropriate reply.— He was evidently ipuch aftected by the warmth with which .bo was received, despite the inclemency of the weather. We doubt whether any reception which could,have been ! given, to Mr. Van Bureii, on a fair day, would., have been more .gratifying,to bib feelings than this. It was truly an assurance, On the j part of his'friends, that they were willing to stand by him,in storm as well as sunshine,! And,if theigieople of New York will stand fire as w cl K as they, do .water,.Great Britain .may coine oh with her'troops as soon-as she pleases.’’ Tfie Standard has the following: • “At about six o’clock, the Ex-President, accompanied’by Mr.Forsyth—the Vice Pre sident of the Convention, (VVright Hawkes, Esq.)—and Major Davczac, proceeded to the Chilton House, where, the two late func tionaries have taken lodgings.

Never were a people more palpably hum bugged than were a host of the voters of this,, country by the. Whig cry of. “change,” “change” and “belter times.” The promises of the latter Was to be immediate. It; was only to be.known that Harrison was elect ed and the price of produce; and labor* and every tiling else' was to run-.-up to a range beyond that of. any fonhpr time. Well, what is the result? , Why, flour.is down to $4, and all grain in. proportion. : This is a, matter lor farmers to ponder uponi How is it with wages? How is it with nil other matters? 'the people must answer these questions. In the mean time we . give the following from thb New Era as to the point. It forms part of a dialogue between a Whig and a Democrat, who arc discoursing upon the “Roittail tibscd Inaugural,” about Bru tus and Cesar, the Denii, and the Uurlii, iuul every tiling beside what is of interests tile pe^jjfc—.Gratia no talks, a good deal of nothing. —Baltimore Republican. “Voil add your whole parly, with Harri son at the head, have promised every thing for oltr good, and he still promises every thing, yet declares nothing. He has noth' ing for the; “public eye.” “Bflt my, friend you must give ;him time.” “Time—how much time do you want? Your great lead er'Daniel Webster eaill, that 24 hours after his election was known, the times would j improve—tilings would rapidly correct them' selves—confidence would be restored and nil-would look prosperous. Did yoli not say all .this?” .“I believe that we did say something of the kind.” “Did you mean to cheat us or were yon deceived, friend Sol.” M\Voll, I donU know.”, “Don’t know ;ha! Did you not promise., or rather did your whole party not promise, (bat if Harrison was elected, the farmer should bo immedi ately blessed with better prices for his pro ducer” “Yes, I think, ive did,” ‘lDid you, not pronme'an .extra dot tiir for pork and an extra dollar Or two .for flour, provided' Har rison was elected, and have these deceitful promises been realised?”. “Why no, not exactly. I believe pork and flour paid the fanner so little as now, and it seems to be getting lower all the time—but you must wait.” "Wait neighbor Kobinson —:ho.w, long must we wait? You promised all these immediate benefits,.and not tine is fulfilled. -Thc-laborcr that you gulled with the song of high wages, where.is he? And did, you not promise the planter 12j; cents a pound for his cotton if Harrison was elected, and , XOif Van Buren wa% re-elected, and has J that been realized? Have-not the banks broke .avthird time since the election of H-ar lison? And has, Harrison dr his federal and speculative Cabinet instilled any confidence into commercial affairs? Answer me these questions neighbor Robinson.” “Well, to tell the truth, friend Strong,.! do-think the promises were too large, and that it would been better, if’ the old Hero had come out full and explicit on all the'leading topics of the country, then we should have known what to think.' To tell the truth, I- do not think things are going.to mend immediately, and 1 begin to fear they trill not be cured so soon now as if Van'Boren had been re elected, for in a , fact, neighbor Strong, we are all afloat, one knows what we arc going to have or what we are going to dir.’* “Exactly so. Under Van Boren, the policy was fixed afid settled,, it would of course have prevented the speculative times of 1836 and 7, which all but bankers, and specula tors wjshcd : for, but 'we should soon have [regulated, and conformed our business to the new state-of things, and all would have moved on prosperously and hap py.

Six thousand but. la us 1 1! for chamber fund-, tore!! to accommodate a log. cabin Presi dent, who it was said in the Palladium was to rise at" 4 ami dine at 12. We did not know before, that log cabins had any cham bers to them. One would, hare supposed, that instead of buying new' furniture these friends of “Harrison and Reform?’, would have ordered “them gold spoons” and other luxurious things ihal they usodlutalkabout, to be sold-, and the money put into the trea sury. ' liot nu—the “gold sptVous,” the "ot tomans,” and the “divans”, and the ‘’soft, sofas” arc all to be kept in the parlors;,of Gen. Harrison’s log cabin, for his daily use, atul six thouaaml dollars besides, arc appro priated for the better-fixing out of the'rooms above. The bed room furniture .as it now is, waS good enough lor Gen. Jac.kson’s fam ily, and Mr,. Van liuren’s family—but it wont do for the reformers!! They: must have six thousand dollars worth more added to it. It canbot be said that: Gen. Harris, soii?B family is larger than Gen; Jackson’s , or Mr. Van Burcn’s—the latter having been,' ' unmarried men. He has. no children living,' with hint at hoine.’ I The whig jiapers have.■ also told its that his wife and himself, made all, the 1 family—and they have also'told os that Mrs. Harrison, will not be in Washing ton the first yeai-; and even if she was tu be there, it certainly could not take six tliilUs-* and dollars to buy the additional furniture she would require. Gen.iHarrisoh_.they all say, will havefhe- family olf his son-tu-laW, who is to be his private secretary, in (he , house with- him, and theicfore willVequire ’’ more furniture. But Gen. Jackson had a . private secretary and family with him: , anil Mr. Van Burcn had his private secretary, and his family with him also,, In this res- ’ pcot Hie three were aintilarljr with families asheir alike as foDumbers, as could' be expected.
