Such are all the particulars we have yet received. To-night we shall knqw.more of this awful affair. None of the passengers’ names are known here, and all is suspense, all anxiety. How dreadful! • -We understand that the Erie was's years old, was built and owned by Mr. Reed, of Erie Penn.; ? and cost $90,000. She is said to be a splendid and a fast boat, and of the first class. She was recently put in com plete order, refitted and painted in fine style. She was a great favorite and has encuuuler ed many a severe gale. ' from the N. Y. Sun, of yesterr day furnishes the following particulars: First outbreak of the inre.—The boat had been thoroughly overhauled, and although the wind was blotving fresh, every thing promised a pleasant and prosperous -voyage. to Tnar iliil prospect fill a-' bout 8 o’clock, when the boat was off .Silver Creek, about 8 miles from shore, & S 3 miles from this City/when -a slight explosion was beard, and immediately, instantaneously al most - the whole vessel was enveloped in flames. CapJ. Titus, who was on the upper deck at the time, rushed to the Ladies Ca bin to obtain ihe life preservers of which there Were from 90 to 100 on board, but so rapid had been the progress of the flames, lie found it impossible to enter the cabin.. Thecaptain then returned to the'upper deck-giving, OS he hurried on, his orders to . the engineer to stop. The engineer replied that in consequence of the he could not reach tlie engine. The steersman was immediately' directed fo put the helm hard a starboard.’. The vessel swung slowly round, beading to the shore, and the boats—there were three on board—were then ordered to be lowered. Two of the boats were lower ed, but in consequence of the heavy sea on, and' the head way. o£ the vessel, they both swamped as they touched the Water. Miraculous Escape of a Lady. —At this period the spectacle was appalling in the ex treme, add no language, can . describe the frantic horror of the doomed passengers.— The small' boat was lowered—four persons id |f —the captain - ju tripc’d 1 n—and the boat" filled with water and dropped astern. A lady floated by at this moment with’, a life preserve run—she shrieked for help—the captaip threw her the only oar in the boat— ■he caught it and was saved—this Inly was Mrs. Lypde, of Milwaukie, and she was the only female who was saved frum that fatal ' vessel. Number on Board—lt \a impossible to give a correct lisf of all the passengers.' Of cabin .passengers Captain Titus flunks there ■'.were between SQ and 40, of whomno dr ife were ladies. 11n the steerage there were a bbut 140- passengers, nearly all of whom were Swissand German immigrants. These were in families, all gf whom found a com mon grave in the yawning deep. The heart bleeds, as it reflects on the' many ties of en deared relationship which were'tnus sudden ly, rudely, and forever-broken.,, ■.]£ r .

John Banks has appeared before the pub : lie in'ariother 4th of July, letter; written for electioneering purposes. In 1840, ; {this “would be great man/’ vi’rotea letter to the. committee in tliistplace, who were superin tending thfi celebrationin which he abused and vilified at least two-thirds of the elec tors of the.judicial district where he resides, calling tliqra-THIEVES, ROBBERS, and TRAITORS, denouncing them as men op posed to the best interests of. our common country. -All this was done solely with a view to obtain the good will and main sup port of Thaddeds Stevens, &, Co.- Since •the publication of that letter, Lawyer Banks has receiveTa Course of lectures from the Democratic press in this State, which, has tnught.him better sense, andlearried him in some degree to regard the: courtesies.of life. We are glpd to see bis improvement in de cency, and w£ trust that the repeated severe paginations Which lie hak received from the independent and fearless editors in the de mocratic ranks, may have the desired effect of. taming that wild and savage ferocity, which seems to have been a part of his char acter'. In his letter to Dr. Worall; design ed for the last 4th of July, he exhibits a striking reformation of conduct; he does not atternpt to abuse the democratic party, but seizes upon a subject that he thinks will "M AKE HIM'VOTES! Hecomesout and talks largely upon the tariff, speaks- of the policy of the General Government, but does not even hint of- the true correct policy of our state government, in these times of em barrassment and great difficulty. Does Judge Banks suppose that the peo ple of Pennsylvania are so gullible, as- to believe that even/if he was Governor of this .State, he could in any way regulate the great Tariff Question? Can he, in the slightest way, influence .the General Government as to their true policy uponihis great question? One would think, from the tenor of his let ter, that if he could only be elected Gover nor, he would-have the power of regulating the tariff'us he pleased, and that his-opinion upon the subject must control the destiny of the nation. . ‘ ‘ ‘ / ’ttd o pea nhni- Every boy in the street, who reads the let 'ter, can but sec-the attempt at low election eering cunning—an effort to catch votes, and a desire to evade every great question of state government, and state policy. If he wants to write letters, let him come out, and DISAVOW IMS CONNECTION WITH THE U.'S. Bank; let him, if he can, refute the charges that have so often been made against him, that he was in favor of chartering Bid dle’s Bank—Ritner’s Great Regulator? Why dont he come .out and show that he ‘did -not advise Ritner to sign the charter of the U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania, and that he did_not advocate the passage of that in famous bill which has reduced to waat and beggary so-many-innocentvictims? I'iie.people may pay some respect to. his letters, when he clears his skirts of these and some-matters, equally obnoxious, which now rest upon them. ’ But -neither begging for one term, trying to flatter the people about the policy of the nation, upon a subject over which he. has no control, nor long la bored abuse of the-democratic party, will ever make the people believe that John Banks is fit for the office of Governor, un lers he wipes off the stain which now rests upon his reputation. Let him lay this flattering unction to his soul, that no man can be elected Governor of Pennsylvania, who was the main friend of the United States Bank, chartered in 1836, by the Legislature of this State; no man who aided in the BUCK. SHOT WAR, was its friend and advocate, and who is un der the cuntrol qf Stevens, Burrowbs and Ritner, and hoodwinked by them. These men have "damned themselves to everlast ing fame.’’ The prayers of those - helpless. beings, who are writhing in distress which has fallen upon them by the infamy of trad ing, politicians, who planted . this thorn in; their path of life, are daily ascending to the Author of all .Good to preserve; our happy state from their destroying liand. We would advise Judge Banks, if‘he chooses to write any more letters, to make himself clear of these charges'if he can.— Every honest man demands it, if he suffers *his name to appear as a candidate. The Crops—their average—probable prices of near* - ' Actual information, as to the condition of the crops, will be of importance, especially to the farmers, who have grain to sell. We open, no doubt, hundreds more of newspa pers, pyery day, from every portion of the country, than any other establishment. It haa been pur.especial wish'-to gather,'for the benefit of our farmer-friends; such in forma tion as they might rely upon. The wheat crop is now nearly all housed; and compared with the great crop of 1839, we think it will be the truth to say, it is not an average.— Compare it with 1838, and we are confident it is. In tho State of New. York, from the best sources; of information, is. believed there maybe a falling off. compared; with 1839, of one-fourth, if ln Ohio;, there is a deficiency compared with 18,39. Michigan and Northern Indiana will probably show an excess. The Middle and Southern States will about holdtheir own. Take the whole , country, and we doubt whether there is now on hand any great sur? plus of bread stuffs. An immense quantity ; of wheat and flour has been taken into Buf falo. this season, but a very small amount has yet. reached New .York city.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FfC- We annex another story from the annals of real life, as recorded by .a correspondent of the London Court Journal. The letter is dated ‘.‘Manheim, June 19th, 1841”—and details an incident of. the most affecting character. The, story, it will be seen, is that of faithless man and a broken-hearted woman.— lnquirer. A BROKEN HEART. A circumstance occurred here on (lie 15th ult., so singular-arid affecting, po much more incredible' than most tales of fiction, that, thougjivthe partieswere of a humble station, it deserves to be recorded among the roman ces of real life. On that day a young wo man of an interesting, and respectable ap pearance was seen to enter the city, carry ing in her aritis an infant, and leading a nother three, years, she inquired for the bouse'of aman to whom.it appears.shehad been affianced at Hamburg,' and who,had left her there under a vow to sliortly return to keep his'promise of marriage; but finding that he continually, on some new? pretence, put off the fulfilment of his engagement,-she herself-thoughtit best to go in search of him. - Having easily discovered his abode, she. Wm,“by ny with another girl :and her relations, and ajjiout.tu pfoc.eed.at the very moment with her to'the altar. It was .in vain'that the first. claimant threw herself on her knees before her faithless Drantigham (a person to' whom a : woman is engaged in Germany, is ■so called) neither.her tears noc-prayers, nor the sight of his children, moved him: she was repulsed' by the .whole party, and. the doorclos.edagainst her, and shortly after wards the’ marriage ceremony was being performed in the church, and the ring just placed on the finger of the second , bride, when.her rival entered with the children.— The shock was too much for her; she -fell down .dead. The body was carried to an inn, where it was afterwards dissected, and the veins of the heart appeared to be' torn asunder —a proof that the term “a broken hearf’is a mere poetical one, but that, how ever rare the occurrence, it may, as in this instance, actually take place: , This tragic story being soon made known, the populace, to the amount-of many hund reds, followed the funeral of the unfortunate woman: but before committing her to the grave, the cortege repaired with the coffin to the house of the just married couple.— There they broke the windows ,and,-in a‘,vo ciferous manner, called on the bridegroom, whose name, was-Pral, to open the doors.— The police were now assembled, and ..had much difficulty, in preventing ■ the mob, many-of them armed, from executing sum mary vengence on the moral culprit. It is worthy of notice while all this pass ed, tlie opera of Don Juan was representing in the theatre, (the celebrated Madame Has sel playing-Johanna) and the audience e vinced their feelings of indignation by noi sy acclamations at any particular parts that bore reference to : the -real drama that had just been, acted, outside.... - The Grand Duchess Stephanie, with her well known goodness of heart,, hag taken the children under her protection, and a large, subscription been made for them by the opr ulent merchants of. the city. The whole scene speaks well for the Germans, and re-, minds us of the old adage—Fox populi, vox Dei. • • Most Horrible.— We copy the follow ing account of the most distressing and re volting has ever come with in our Knowledge, from the Louisville (Ken tucky) Tablet, of the 24th ultimo. "One of the most awful deeds that has perhaps ever, come within the knowledge of the human race, was perpetrated in the vi cinity of this place, .on Sunday ■ morning last. by a.Mrg. Roper. She killed three of her ouni children by culling their heaife off with an axe. From the information .which we have received on this subject, it seems to have been done while in a fit of mental derangement. It was her intention to have killed.two more in the same manner-and afterwards hang herselfwith a hank of yarn, bu t her husband waking up, discovered some thing extraordinary in her actions and seiz ed her around,the waistj after a strong effort on , her_ part to escape from* hipi, during which time she -triedto draw -one of. three knives from the ceiling, whioh she had pre viously sharpened ahd.pnt there, they reach ed the door when he discovered what'she had been doing.' ' . • , “She is the mother of eleven children, in cluding the . three which she killed.' Sim appears now to be restored to reason, and; is pitiable spafilacle of the deepest and; most bitter anguiah. ; She .says that while ‘Under the ‘influence of a distorted imaging tion .she thought she. was doing a charitable action’in ridding her husband of the burthen of supporting herself and their five youngest, children,, as he is a poor and a very.hard working man.’’., 'f,", Oorraponienu of the National Intelligencer. ■ [■': ■' ’V ' New Yoiut, August 4,1841. { .

The Chinese Governor-had been sent in chains towards Pekin, and it was reported ho had been strangled on the way, because he could not keep the British from blowing up the Torts at Bogue. The ‘Emperor from Pekin yet' issues’his orders thht the barbarians must be exterminated/ The loss of the Chinese in their'various engagements' wasestirnar ted at 3,500 or 3,000 mm, and about 800 pieces of cannon.

It would appear that England is determined at all hazards to 'maintain her Can aria possessions: “In any measures,” Lord John Russell says, “that niny.be adopted, it must be taken for. grunt* ed that Her Majesty persists in to maintain her Royal authority in Neither the honor of Her Majesty’s crown, nor the support due to her loyal.subjects in British North America, nor the provident eareof the Em pire at large, would permit any deviation from this fixed principle of British policy. . “At the same time Her Majesty’s advisers are not insensible to the difficulties imposed upon them in carrying into = execution the purposes of the Crown.

To trifle' with the fprtune of men. whose lives and properties are "freely devoted to the service of England, or to en courage foreign aggression by neglect or apathy would.be far'Worse than the spontaneous -surren der of thesO' important possessions of the crown. The Canadians might, in such a case, incur no risk; no blood need tie "shed, and - the treasurers of the empire "might bo "spared.
