manufactures of our country.
It will be published weekly, as heretofore, in j

the Arts and Sciences.
It also possesses an original feature not found
in any other weekly journal in the country, viz :
an Official List of Latent Claims, prepared ex
pressly for its columns at the Latent Office—thus
constituting it the " American Repertory of In

Harrisbcp.g, Sept. U. —The bridge at Clark's
Ferry, belonging to the State, and connecting the
Eastern with the Northern and Juniata divisions
of the Pennsylvania Canal, was destroyed by
fire last night. It cost the State for rebuilding,
thcec years ago, $120,000, and was a most es
sential improvement. The cause of the fne is
supposed to have been the work of an incendia
ry. The length of the bridge was 4,287 feet.
Steam tow-boats will be employed to transport
freight canal boats across the river. Passengers
need not suffer detention, because the Central
i Railroad, which crosses the river about ten miles
below, is in the best order. No other damage
was done to the State Works at the base of Pe
ter's Mountain, or on Duncan's Island.
DROWNED. —We are informed that a man
named Michael Hosteller, residing in Menuo
township, was drowned in the dam at Daniel
Reed's saw mill, near White Hall, on Saturday
week last. He was that day engaged in thresh
ing grain, with his sons, in his own barn, and in
the afternoon went out, telling them be would
return in a short time. Not returning that day
nornight,search was made for hint by his friends,
and on Sunday he was found, as we have men
tioned above. No cause has been assigned for
the act, although it is alleged that he has been
known at times to have been slightly deranged.
He was a man about 45 years of age, a member
of the Mennonite or Amish persuation, and gen
erally respected by those who knew him.— True
Democrat.
DISTRESSING. —Dr. C. Seiler was stabbed on
Sunday evening last in the abdomen, and has
been and is at present, considered in danger.—
The act was done by two reckless young men,
one of thein his nephew, who had taken a horse
and carriage of the Dr.'s brother without leave,
and whom he was endeavoring to arrest. The
young gentlemen, for a heedless act, have no
doubt greatly suffered ; and should the Dr. die,
without further punishment, will never cease to
reproach themselves.— HanrLfburg Telegraph.
EF* The slate stock in theChambersburg
and Bedford turnpike, was recently sold at
public sale bv the Auditor General at an
average of about $-4,10 per share; and

sale amounting to $13,685.44.
Louis Philippe, late King of France,
died in England on the 26th ult.
An excursion party numbering about six
hundred persons, from Montreal, visited
Boston last week, and were most hospita
bly entertained by the citizens and public
authorities.
Jenxv Lind attended divine service at
Grace Church, New York, on Sunday
last, much to the disappointment of a vast
crowd that had assembled at Trinity-
Church, where it had been reported she
intended going.
We regret to learn from Louisville that
the Rev- Bishop Bascom, one of the most
eloquent divines connected with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, died in that city
on Saturday last.
MARYLAND CONVENTION. —On Wednes
day of last week, an election was held in
the State of Maryland for Delegates to a
Convention to form a new Constitution for
th:n State. It resulted in the choice of
49 Whigs, 42 Locofooos, and 12 who
were elected on Union tickets, of whom
6 are Whigs. The Convention will as
semble at Annapolis, in November, and
the Constitution which they may form
will be submitted to a vote of the people
m the ensuing month of June.
FOREIGN SEWS.
The English harvests are well advanced,
and the yield is fully equal to recent expec
tations. „
AUSTRIA AND HUXGART. —It is saiu TIUU
the people of Hungary are becoming more
reconciled to the new Government, but the
nobles of Isjth Hungary and Austria were
very much discontented.
The coronation of the Emperor presents
great difficulties. The question to be decided
upon is, whether, as was formerly the custom,
be shall l>o crowned in each separate prov
ince, or whether he shall be crowned at \ i
enna alone, as Emperor of Austria.
The Cabin.x are for the latter, while tho
provinces liercely maintain their rights. It
is thought, however, that he will not be
crowned this year.
The German and Danish dispute occupies
considerable attention,
RUSSIA AND TURKEY. —The cholera contin
ues bad in Turkey.
The Emperor of Russia has added to Ins
splendid collection of works of art the cele
brated Barbayigo gallery of Venice.
GERMANY. —The Zollvencn, which was
opened at Cassel, on the commencement of
Juiv, would continue throughout the month
of August, without, probably, oven then ter
minating the business that is before it.
There appears to be a great want of una
nimity in the Congress in regard to the mod
ification proposed by J'russia in the tarill of
the Zolveroiii.
The Cabinet of Berlin have formally re
• >!ved to decline adopting the Austrian invi
tation to join tb<- Federal Diet.

YORK, September •*, 1850.
• u— s^ Empire City, from Chagres,
\ia Kingston, Jamaica, reached her wharf at
this morning, She has on freight
8/-'>B.ooo in specie, and about $400,000 in
the hands of passengers.
1 he steamship Georgia, which is on her
way with the mails, has about a million and
a ball ot dollars on board.
J he Empire City brings no mails, but has
papers front San Francisco to tlie first of
August—two weeks later than the last advi
ces.
Among her passengers is Brigadier Gene
ral Bennct Riley, ex-Governor of California.
llou. S. Wood worth, U. S. Senator from
California, is also among the passengers.
The steamship Panama had arrived at
Panama from San Francisco, with the mails
to August 1. The cholera broke out on
board while she was at Acapulco, and over
forty of her passengers died of it before she
reached Panama.
She brings $2,300,000 in gold (lust, and
about 240 passengers. On the 17th th-> chol
era brake out amongst the passengers. —
Joseph Dale, of Philadelphia, (tale of Lima,)
was among the victims.
Other accounts are that fifty persons died
of it. Among the victims were Capt. G. P.
Manchester, of Martha's Vineyard, and Capt.
Ashley, of Mystic, Conn.
Persons coming through front Cltagros re
port that the Gorgona road is almost impas
sable. Most people take the Cruses road.
The news from the mines is somewhat dis
couraging. The rivers are yet too high to
work advantageously, and the ravines have
not dried up. Companies of miners are at
work turning the rivers throughout the gold
region, and we may expect good reports from
them in the course of another month.
Claims on the Y üba river thirty feet square
have been sold at S2OOO.
A company of seven men have taken out,
in one spot, in Murphy's Diggings, in less
than seven weeks, $15,000 in gold dust.—
This is their nett proceeds, clear of expenses.
Another company of six took out, in tro
same diggings, last week, forty-two p u
of dust. This company is working 54 1
beneath the surface.
The great points of concentration are the
Mercedes, Tuoluntme, and Stanislaus. En
couraging accounts have reached us from the
Calaveras. There is no lack of provisions,
and the health of the whole district is ex
cellent.
Tn one portion of the mines, a party of
M oxieans working under Americans, have j
perched themselves on a piece of table land, ;
existing on the top of a mountain, and hero,
secreted from tlm eyes of the tax collector,
they are making a pile.
The troubles at the Southern mines, par- I
tieularly in the neighborhood of Sonera, con
tinue. The accounts of murders committed
there are frightful, ami the end is not yet
come.
The Mexicans and Chilians will be driven
from the mines, and armed forces have been
organized to carry this determination into
effect. At the Mormon Gulch, all foreigners
have received formal notice to quit in one
week.
The disturbance is traced to the foreign
mining tax imposed by the last legislature.
The foreigners resisted the payment of the
tax. and when they have good claims they are
given away by individuals who urged the
non-payment ol' the tax as an excuse for their
proceedings.
A number of murders and highway rob
beries have been committed by Mexican
guerrilla bands, and the chief of one bp.nd is
now in prison.
The prospect of a large business in San
Francisco this fall is encouraging.
Workmen are engaged in grading and
planking the streets, in view of the rainy
season. Artesian wells and reservoirs have
been made, and fire companies organized.—
Everything looks cheering.
The dates from the Sandwich Island* are
to the 24th of July. Matters were in a pros
perous condition. Marty important improve
ments were contemplated by the government.
The advices from Oregon are to the 21*tof
July. There was a report that some gold
had been found, lnit the streams were so liigh
that a satisfactory examination could not be
made. There was a prospect, however, of
abundance of gold.
The I. S. Propeller Massachusetts arrived
at Astoria on the 20th, with the joint com
mission of army and na\y officers appointed
to select positions for light-houses ami fortifi
cations. It is said they have completed their
duties as far as Paget's Sound, and they are
now examining the mouth of the Columbia.
There was abundance of water in the South
Channel.—
The Flood-—Terrible Loss of Life.
The most distressing accounts of losses
of property and life by the late flood on
the Schuylkill continue to reach us in out
exchanges. The rise of waters was so
sudden that many families were unable to
escape, and were swept oft" by the flood. !
At Reading elevni lives were lost, among I
whom were .Mrs. Sands and three children,
the wife and four children of Eli Marks, i
of Leesport, and Mr. Aaron Kemp, of
Lccsport. The number of buildings de
stroyed at Reading were 25 brick build
ings, 21 frame dwellings. 63 stables, work
shops and offices—making a total of one
hundred and nine buildings .' Tho ag
gregate loss at Reading is estimated at
$500,000.
At Tamaqua thirly-one persons were
drowned. The following are the names
given:
I'ersons Droxcncd. —Mrs. Foster, two girls and
boy ; Mrs. Edmunds, I boy, 1 girl and 2 grand
daughters ; Mrs. David Jones and child ; Mrs.
Creasing and child; Mr. George Welsh, 1 boy
and 2 girls ; Mrs. Eltingham, 2 girls and 2 boys ;
Mrs. Herion and four children ; Catharine Wil
liams, a hired girl living at Thoma3 Fosters ;
Mary McCartney, a young girl from Beaver
Meadow, on a visit to John Sewall; a young
girl 14 years of age, daughter of Daniel Oxridcr.
Itev. P. Z. Oberfeldt, pastor of the German
Lutheran Congregation of that place, came to
his death in the following manner:—lt appears
that he mounted his horse for the purpose of as
sisting the family of Mr. McNail; after which
ho attempted to gain the mountain, and rode in
a cellar above J. Broad's house, when he fell
from his horse. He was seen to get out of the
cellar with his horse, but another strongcurrent
of water dashed them both into the stream,
which was the last seen of him.
Dead Hoilies Found. —Wife of Thos. Foster ;
Mary Williams ; Rev. P. Z. Oberfeldt; a daugh
ter of Thos. Foster; two children of John El
tingharn ; daughter of Daniel Oxrider; wife
of Thos. Edmunds and two children ; wife and
daughter of Mr. Creasing.
At Berwick, Columbia county, twenty
one persons lost their lives. Two houses
belonging to George Mestler, at Neseopeek
Forge, containing about 20 persons were
swept half a mile down the creek ; only
two men were saved. The houses lodged
among some trees, and were dashed to
pieces. No names given, and none of
the bodies recovered. The Schuylkill
Haven Map says :
The damages at Young & Jones' Mt. Ilecla
Forge wa3 very great. Samuel Harting, wife
and step-dauehter; G. Clement, son of Jacob
Clement; an infant child of William Wingert;
Elizabeth, Catharine, I.ydiaand Hannah Freed ;
Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Coverlv, and Marga
ret and Henry Freed were drowned.
Mr. HOWARD, representative of Texas,
was very hostile to the Boundary Bill till
he found that it was likely to be lost, when
he turned short round and went for it, on
Friday. The Tribune thinks Howard's
skill should secure him a place in an eques
trian corps, to ride at the same time two
horses running in opposite directions.

In the equestrian department, one of the leading, and
from their novelty the most striking feature, are the won

extraordinary equestrian, of whose sk-Tl and daring vol
umes have hcen written wherever lie has performed,np

which does he use saddle or bridle en liis superb steeds,
though tbev are both as wild and apparently uofanteaMc
as when first lassoed by him on the Pampas or South
America. Their leaps are Irulv lerrilir, and it fs impossi
ble to describe the sensations of the bel'.olji r as he watches
the motions of horse and rider, which are in perfect uni
son, and which convey to the mind a strong pi< turc of the
Centaurs of Heathen Mythology.
