; Faf we arc indebted
to'a friend who'came down in the boat this
morning, and they may be relied upon as
correct in all the leading features attending
this melancholy occurrence.
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

THE GREAT LETTER WRITER. .
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. It has.been -stopped in tramiiu/ani
some of it has been consumed.
The corn great value and

.degree the market price of other products—

Suppose these bVicCa may be out of the cal'*

‘their toils, yet' they-will rejoice with us, that
there is every prospect mat the humblest

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,",

“that niny.be adopted, it must be taken for. grunt*
ed that Her Majesty persists 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

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. A province.'bordered by an open

them to see him in irons. The Colonel finally
consented to let him go on shore without his
