NEW BANKS.—The Bank of Ca:asa• que, Lehigh county ; Stroudsburg Bank, Monroe county; Bank of Chester Val. ley, Coatesville, and Shamokin Bank, have elected their directors and will go into operation at once. tXrThere is a widow lady in Phila delphia who,has 25 children, all living at home and none of them married.— Not much danger of her re-marrying un less her fortune is proportionably as large as the number of her children. OtrA patent expanding auger is among the latest inventions. It is a curious device, and will make holes of twenty two differeit sizes, varying five-eights of an inch to two inches in diameter.— It is simple and easily adjusted, and is not liable to get out of order. (it' It is stated that in the event of Secretary Toucey's acceptance of the vacancy on the Supreme Bench, tender. ed to him by the President, that Hon. J. Glancy Jones, of Berke, will be like. ly to succeed him in the Cabinet as the bead of our naval affairs. orElections were held last week in Maine and Vermont, and resulted in the success of the Republican tickets by reduced majorities. Judging from the Republican papers, the Americans didn't vote—the name being not even men• tioned. Cost of Race Horses.—The London Era, in an answer to a correspondent, says that three fourths of the horses that are bred for xacing are worthless for that purpose, and that each colt or filly costs considerably more than $5OO at three '.ears old. A Mousrint.—ln a Miramichi paper we see an account of a huge Greenland whale that was lately fallen in with by a fishing schooner Samuel Gilbert, of Gloucester, Mass., about 20 or 25 miles off land, and by that vessel towed into Tracadie harbor, where it now lies.— The whale is 75 feet long, and 25 to 30 feet through, the head 30 feet long, and the lips 20 feet. When found it was floating on its back, the most elevated part being about 20 feet above water, and was taken in tow by passing a hawser round the tail. It was'a nine days' won• der, and was purchased by W.B. Dean for $360, and half of which goes to the owners of the vessel, Messrs. Jewell, of Tamworth, N. H., the other to the crew 12 in nnmber. Death of the Oldest Person in Illinois. —Mrs. Catharine Donnelly, whose death at Woodstock, McHenry county, on Tuesday last, was announced in this pa per, was one hundied and eleven years of age, and was probably the oldest per son in this State. She was a native of the county of Tyrone, Ireland. She was the mother of twelve children. Not withstanding her extreme old age, she retained the full use of her faculties to the last, and until a very recent date was able to move about the house. For the last fifty years she has restricted herself to one meal a day, add that was always partaken of after 12 o'clock in the day. --Chicago Journal. Thu GOLD SNUFF Box.—Gen. An- drew Jackson bequeathed a gold snuff box to that "patriot most valient in the defence of his country and our country's rights," to be adjudged by his country men. The Council of New York city awarded the box to. Major Dyckman of that city, who happened . to.be a Demo crat. This raised the ire, envy, malice, and every other bad feeling of some of the Major's political opponents ; and when Andrew Jackson, jr., in whose possession the box is, visited that city last week for the purpose of its present ation, he found the bad feeling so strong that he took the box and returned home to Tennessee with it. lie will keep the momento until the division of sentiment has subsided, or, until some more worthy person is indicated to receive it. We are afraid he will never have the pleas •ure of presenting it, if the person's claims for it are to be decided by polit ical tests. If the Major had been a good Black Republican there would have been no,opposition raised to him receiving it, for it is admitted, even by his opponents, - that he was one of the bravest of the brave in the Mexican Oar. The box was donated to the Corpora tion of the City of New York, and by there - to'be awarded. if P ~~ #~;, Case in Boston.— for iar• THE PROSPECT.—Mr. Wilmot is omit ting many of his appointments publish• ed with such a flourish at the opening of the campaign. He sees that his cause is lost, and would back out of the canvass entirely, if he could. do so with propriety and honor. That Gen. Packer will be our next Governor is conceded by both wings of the opposition ; : .and the only question with them is "shall Wilmot or Hazle hurst have the larger vote ?" While the friends of Wilmot are becoming daily more disheartened and yielding; the friends of Hazlehurst are picking up fresh zeal and activity, and we shall not be greatly surprized if in a short time Wilmot is withdrawn and the op position strength concentrated upon Ha zlehurst. .The activity of the friends of -Hazlehurst may be seen in the late organization of their forces in many counties .where even a few weeks ago the seed was not apparent. It was only last w.eelo , that, they started the ball in this Cent: -.: vi av count a state'of;tiffalis ing brought about, it will be well_ for the-demoericy nfit to trust to too - easy a victory,..and become indifferent.. A concentratioi rof the opposition forces upon -Hazlehurst would create a power far more formidable than a union upon Wilmot, for the simple reason that -Ha zlehurst could enter the field as a na tional candidate, while Wilmot can nev er appear in- any other guise than as a sectionalist. Hence, although in no contingency can Packer be defeated, let us guard against .surprise by wise preparation. Let -our organization be as active and- effective as when we have before us a hard contested battle. (K:r Our neighbor of the Courier changed his quarters last week, and, consequently, we do not wonder that he has got a little mixed up—political ly, statistically, historically and other wise. His facts and fancies are partic ularly jumbled together, and we would advise an assortment under proper head ings as speedily as possible. He attrib utes the present financial crisis to the policy of the Buchanan administration, and says that it is utterly impossible for the country to continue prosperous "tin. der thefree trade system of Laeofocoism." Can our neighbor have forgotten, or does he purposely lose sight of the fact, that the.trade laws of the country were mod ified, and the rates reduced, by his own party last winter its Congress, when and where they had an overwhelming major. ity 1 Were they not at it for months and—Democratic as the measure may be—the tariff was greatly reduced when the Courier's friends had the power to raise the rates to prohibition 7 It don't look well for our neighbor under the circumstances, and with that "arch lo cofoco free-trader Wilmot" at the head of its columns, to talk about such mat ters. Its attention had better be devot ed exclustyly to-setting "straight," the "unprinci ed bogus-Americans."

Washing. ton Stout., ten years of age, fell head foremost into a well 45. feet deep, with 7 feet of water in it. Help was fortu• nately-near-at band, and, he was drawn out in a bucket, with no injury save two' slight scars, It was almost a miracle that he was nat drowned, or killed by striking against the wall of the well. Courtship and Marriage by Express.. —A wedding took, place on th'e light ning express train of the Michigan Cen. (rat Railroad yesterday, between Kalam azoo and Galesburg. The happy'couple were Mr. W. H. Webster,of Otsego coun. ty, N. Y., and Miss Emeline C. Breach of Gurnsey county, Ohio. They were married by John Edwards, Esq., a Jus tice of Kalamazoo. We are informed. that the courtship took place during the ride from Chicago to that point.— When people of the oppositesexdo their courting in the short space of some four or five hours,, while riding at the rate'?f 'about thirty-two miles an hour, and mar ry while riding at the same lightning speed, we think no one will dispute that this is a fast age. The happy pair went to Cleveland by steamer last evening.— Detroit Adv.,. Aug. 28,.. STUFFED ottass.—The owners of the famous house, "Vermont. Black Hawk," and "Lady Suffolk," both deceased, have had their skins stuffed at an expense of about $lOOO, and have applied to the managers of the coming horse exhibi tion at Springfield, Mass, for room to - exhibit them within the enclosure.— Mrs. Treat, of Grandville, Michigan, after enduring the most brutal treatment ry,em a drunken husband, ended her di:rubies by binding her child to •her perao4 and leaping into Grand River. Saturday, September 19, 1857 APPALLING CALAMITY. FOUNDERING OF THE CENTRAL AMERICA ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED LIVES LOST Arrival of some of the Rescued at Norfolk and Savannah—The Ship Deserted by the Chief Engineer—Rumored Safety of the Ladies and Children—Over $2,000,000 in Gold Lost. • During the past three days the most painful excitement has prevailed in regard to the safety of the U. S. Mail steamship Central America, Capt. Herndon, from Aspinwall, with the San Francisco mails of August 20th, five hundred and twenty five passengers, making, with the crew and others about six hundred persons, which left Havana at 9 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, September Bth, bound to New York. She had on freight about $1400,400 in gold from California, besides a con siderable stun in the hands of passengers. It is also supposed that she took on board at Havana about $BOO,OOO in specie, and the total amount on board may be estimated at nearly $2,500,000. The steamer Empire City left Havana about an hour later than the Central America, and the two vessels were in sight of one another until the af ternoon, when the Central America outran the other, and was seen no more. On Thursday, about noon, as we learn from the captain, of the Empire City, one of the most severe gales ever known be gan, continuing without intermission until Mon day at 12 o'clock, the wind varying during'the time from northeast to southwest around by the west,tatd blowingfurionslY from each point.— This 'Teripest esiMtitYpiy near the Etw, pire City, but she was ablate get into Norfolk on the 15th inst., but in a desperately crippled c on dition. The same gale caused - the total loss of the steamship Norfolk, from Philadelphia, bound to Norfolk, and a number of other vessels. A vague telegraphic despatch from Charleston, on Friday morning, led to the most sad forebod logs. But the last ray of hepe was soon destroy ed by a despatch limn Norfolk, stating that fifty passengers,rescued from the Central America, bad arrived ut that port. The Central America went down on Saturday, the 12th inst., having become a total wreck in the fearful gale that commenced ou Thursday, the 10th, and continued, with little abatement, until Monday, the 14th. Tae following is the total number of persons reported aboard the 'Central America: Crew, • Pissengers, . Whole number, . Number reported saved, Total lives lost, The officers of the steamer are spoken of as the choicest men in the employment of the coiimany, being distinguished for ability and trustworthiness. Fifty passengers, including twenty-six females, were rescued by the Norwegian barque -Eloise, which has arrived at Norfolk The officers were all lost except Mr. James M. Frazer. Tho chief Engineer, Geo. E. Ashby, took a boat, and_deserted the ship. The two millions of dollars in specie, which were on board the Central America, were lost. The sea eras very heavy at the time the ship foundered. . The steamer was lost when 200 miles off Cape Hatteras. The steamship Empire City, which sailed from Norfolk to N. Y.; takes a part of the passengers. • It is positively stated that all the ladies and children who were passengers in the Central America were saved on board the brig Marine. Statement of Henry H. Childs. HAVANA, September 18.—Henry H. Childs, one of the rescued passengers, states that the Central America left Ha vana on the - Bth inst., having had delight ful weather and .a calm sea from Aspin wall to that port. On the afternoon of the day of sailing from Havana we had a fresh breeze, and on Wednesday it blew very strong. At night it increased and rained in torrents. On Thursday the wind blew a hurricane, and the sea rose very high. On Friday the storm raged.with unabated fury, and at eleven. o'clock, A. M., itivEts first know - n aiming the passengers that the steamer had sprung a leak and was making water fast. A line of men was formed, who went to work in bailing the water from her engine room, the fires having been already extinguished by the- furnaces . being overflowed. We gained upon , it so much that the firemen were enabled . to get up steam again, but this continued for only a few'tninutes, when the fires were . again extinguished, and. the en gines ,were abandoned. The bailing, however, was continued in all parts of the vessel, and kept up until she finally went down. During Friday night, the water gained gradually, out all - being in good spirits, we worked to the best of our ability, feeling that when morning came we might probably speak some vessel, and be saved. The fatal Saturday came at last, but brought 'nothing but an increased fury of the storm. Still we worked on.— Abotit 2 &lock, P. M., the storm lulled a littled, and the clouds broke away, so that our hopes were renewed, and we all worked like giants. At 4 o'clock, P. M., we spied a sail and fired-guns. Our flag being at half-mast, it was seen, and the brig Marine, of Boston, bore down upon us. We then considered oursafety certain. She came near, and we spoke to her and explaned our condition. -She laid to about a mile distance, and we, in only three of the boats, saved all the wo man-and children, and they were safely put on board the brig. As evening was fast aproaching we discovered another sail;-which respond ed to our call and came near us. Capt. Herndon told them our crippled condi tion, and asked them to lay_ by and send a boat, as we had none left. She prom ised to do so, but this was the last we saw of her, exept at a distance, which grew greater at every mument. - - At 7 o'clock we saw no posibiliiy of keeping afloat much longer, although if we could do so until morning, all would be saved in a short time. A heavy sea for the first time broke over her upper deck, and our hopes faded away. Life preservers were then furnished to the passengers, and we sent up two rockets. A tremendous sea then swept over us, and the stearner,in a moment,went down. I think that some four hundred or four hundred and fifty souls were launched. upon the °can, at the mercy of the waves. The storm at this time had entirely sub. sided. We all kept near together, and went as the waves took us, There was nothing, or very little said, except each one cheered, and courage was kept- up forlwo or three hours, and I think for that space of time none had drowned. But those who could not swim became eichadsted and one by one - gradually pass ed to eternity. The hope that boats would be sent to us from the two vessels we had spoken to, soon fled from us, and our trust was alone in Providence; and what better trust could you or I ask for? I saw my comrade fast sinking, and at one o'clock that night, I was nearly alone on the ocean, some two hundred miles from land. ',however heard shouts from all that could do so, that they were not far from me but, I could not see them. Within an hour from this' time, I sae? a vessel, as judged, about one mile from sae. Takibtfiesh courage, I itruciclout for the vessel, and reached it when nearly exhausted ; but was drawn on board by ropes. It proved to be a Nor wegian barque, from Balize, Honduras, bound for Falmouth, England. I found on board of her some three of my com rades and at nine o'clock the next morn ing we had forty-nine noble 'fellows on board. And these are all I know of hav ing been saved. We cruised about the scene of disaster, until we thought that all alive had been rescued ; and' then set sail. . . The steamer was valued at $300,000, and was not insured. The company does not insure any of its ships. The freight lists and other papers of the ship were all on board, and duplicates cannot be obtained from San Francisco under five or six weeks. The specie is supposed to be all insured, either in New York/in San Francisco, or in Lon don. The Atlantic Insurance Company usually takes large risks of this nature. The larger amount of the loss will fall upon the foreign insurance companies, probably fully two thirds, and the reclamation to be made from them will form a basis upon which to draw bills of ex change, and thus stand as an equivalent for the shipment of specie to the same amount. It is be lieved that our own insurance companies are lia ble for about live or six hundred thousand dollars. Their_losses will certainly not exceed that sum, and as the companies have all been transacting a very successfa,business during the year, they are abundantly able at the present time to meet the obligiVeltirWrom this sad calamity with lout seri °Minnie:Lc* JENNY Otto - Grildschmidt., the htiiihandlif Onny Lind, is at present in England, making arrangements for the removal thither of his family, which is passing the summer at the village of Obericessnitiz,4ear Dresden, and has recently been4ncreased by the birth of a daughter . ..
