It came on-in the afternobn, a hurricane. Then followed the iisnal havoc of boats arid canvass, the surges making a clean breach over the deck; the passen ,geri,lof course, gave themselves up for lost, and efenthe crew are said to have been pretty nearly of the.sante opinion. However, the wind: went down at last, the sea grew comparatively smooth, and in twenty-four hours more, they found them selves on the barikS of Newfoundland. The writer thinks that it was fortunate for them that the storm had not Caught them in the short swell of these shallow waters, as was probably the case of the President, whose melancholy fate so long ex cited. and 'still excites,. a feeling of surprise and sorrow in the public mind. - li was lost in, this- very storm. Next day came another of the sea wonders. The cry of land started them all from the dinner•table; -but the land happened to be an immensefield of ice, which,-with the inequalities of its surface, and the effect of refraction, presented, some appearence of - a Wooded country. On that night the cry of , light a-head; While they were stilt several hundred miles froM land, excited new astonishment.. !'All the knciwing ones" clearly distinguished a magnificent revelver. The paddles were accordingly stopped . to have a cast of the lead, but in another half boric it .was ascertained that the revolver was a newly risen'star. At length land was really seen, and, after a run 'of Iburteen days, they cast anchor in the harbor of H4ifax; but as . Boston was their destinltion, they . steered far it a(once. Their prog ress had been rapid, for they entered Boston b ay in thirty-six bolas from Halifax, a distance of 390 miles.— Bo'ston is more English-looking than New York. The gently undulating shores of the bay, highl cultivated, bring to memory the green hills or England, and within the town the buildings and the inhabitants have a peculiarly English air. lAs speed was an object, the party immediately left the town by the railsay, passing through Lo- Well. and reaching Nashua. This ,is one of the rapid growths of America. In 1819 this place was a village of but nineteen houses. It now con tains-19,000 inhabitants, with churches, hotels, prisons, and banks. Here the party went off in two detachmentsonein a sleigh with six horses, and-the other 'rattled along in a coach-and•four.— .4t. the next stage the author exchanged the coach for a sleigh--a matter of no great importance to ' 4the world, but which may be mentioned as a can lion against rash changes. • ••• 00000 ' The toad now passed through Vermont, the State of green mountains. The country appeared striking; and Montpelier, where they breakfasted, seems to be a very pretty place, looking more like the residence of hereditary ease and luxury, than the capital of a republic of thriftcl aziers.

But a north -wester blaming, prevented the -hoisting of their flags, which mulcted the pageant 'of much of its intended: glory. These canoes aredthirty-five feet in length, and five feet wideinthe centre; draWing about eighteen inches water, and weighing between three and four hundred pounds; catii>lly fitted for a navigation among rocks,-rspids, and portages ; but they seem rnost-unconifortable in rough Wea ther. The waves alhe St. LaWrence rolled like a sea, the gale WaS biting, and the snow drifted heaVilydn the faces of the party. In this luckless 'condition, we are not surprised at the intelligence That at St. Anne's rapids, notwithstanding the au thority of the poet, " they sang noevening hyena," This style of travelling was not .certainly much mingled with luxury. Next morning, after "toil ' ing for six hours," they-breakfasted, "with the wet ground for their table, and with rain in place of milk to cool their tea." On this day. while running close under the falls of the Rideau, they seem to have had a narrow escape from a iina/c to their voyage; their canoes being swept into the middle of the river, under an immense fall, fitly feet in height: They now Jearned the art of bivouacking, and af ter a day of toiling through portages, reserving the severest of them, the Grand Calumet, for the renewed vigor of the morning, they made ready for the forest night. • . • • • • As the sun approached his setting, every eye in the canoes, as they pulled along, was speculating on some drrand tolerably open spot on the shore.— That once found, all were on shore in an instant: Then the axe was heard ringing among the trees. ' to prepare for the fires, and make room for the tents. In ten minutes, the tents were pitched, the fires blazing in front of each, and the supper pre paring in all its diversities. The beds were next made, consisting of . an oil-cloth laid on the ground, ;. with blankets and pillow ; occasionally aided by greatcoats at discretion. The crews, drawing the canoes•on shorefirst made an inspection of their hurts during the day ; and having done this, the little vessels were turned into a shelter, and each man, wrapping himself-in his blanket defied the weather and the world. But this state of happiness to.-as never destined to last long, about 't in the morning, the cryofqeve, lice," broke all .slumbei - s. We must acknowledge that the hour seems permature,.and the most pa. tient of travellers might have solicited a couple of hours more of " tired nature's sweet restorer."— But the discipline of the bivouac was Spartan. If the slumberer did not instantly start up, the tent was pulled down about him, and he found himself half smothered in canvass. However, we must presume that this seldom happened, and within half an hour, every thing would be packed, the eo sins laden, and the paddles moving to some "merry old song.". In this manner passed the day, six nours of rest to eighteen of labor—a tremendous disproportion even to the sturdy Englishman'or the active Irishman, but perfectly congenial to the si news and spirit of the gay voyagucr, A few touches more give the complete picture of the-day. About eight, a convenient site would be selected for breakfast. Three-quarters of an hour being the whole time alloted for unpacking and packing, boiling .and frying, eating and drinking. "While the preliminaries were arranging, the har dirr among us would wash and shave, each person caging soap and towel in his pocket, and finding a tnnTor in the same sandy or rocky basin which held the water. About two in the afternoon, we put ashore for dinner, and as this meal needed no fire, or at least, got none, it was not allowed to oc cupy more than twenty minutes, or half an hour." lire recommend the following considerations to the amateur boat-cluits, and others, who plume themselves on their naval achievements between l'utney and Vauxhall bridges. Let them take the work of a Canadian paddle-man to heart, and lower their plumage accordingly. "The quality ofthe work, even more than the quantity, requires operatives of iron mould.

In rapids, the towing line has to be hauled along over rocks and stumps, through swamps and thickets, excepting that when the gronnd is utterly impracticable, poles are sub stituted, and occasionally , also the bushes on the shore." Serious Affray —Two men Killed and one Morin ly Wounded—On Saturday night, about two o'clock, the house of a Mr. Minnick, living on aimall farm at. the foot of the first knob on the lower road lea ding from New Albany, Is., to Greenville, was attacked by seven men, who had gone there for, the purpose of giving the oldman, a flogging. We have heard the names of five of the\ ruflians—Mosby,, Goldsberry, William Hogg, Jos'eph Davis, and: Charles W. Murphy. It seems that Minnick hnd been away from home, and upon returning, found: it inhabited by two females of notorious character! He at once turned them out of his house ; and this act, he was threatened by the worthless gang who Went to his house at this dead hour of night; They threw stones through the window and woke the old man and his wife. Upon their proach, he heard one of then, tell the others to force the door open and kill him. Minnick imme• diately seized an axe and placed himself behind the door, and as the first one entered, struck him a blow which killed himon the spot, His comrade's dragged him, away, and they then made a second' attack, when another by the name ofJoseph Davis, .was killed in like manner; and in the third attack, apother by the name of Goldsby, was sn severely injured, that it is thought to not be:possible for hien to recover: .The others then sled. The case has been heard before an examinig court, and Minnick has been fully acquitted, as it was done in self de • 1 fence.—Louisville Democrat. J,dy 21 The fact stated in the above paragraph is per haps, not new. It has low , ° been known that Ire land, notwithstanding her famine, exportec, bread stuffs and other provisions continually. In that unhappy country is seen realized the fable of Tan talus; sustenance in sight almost in their reach but not to be obtained. The true' source of this state of things is in the distribution of land in Ire land. A few own all the territory, and reap the fruits of the soil, while the millions meanwhile starve. The evil is radical. Ireland can support even a greater population than she now enjoys; but to do so her people must have a fair share of the labor of their own h . ands. Heretofore the Irish peasant's harvest has gone to pay his rent, while his family has lined miserably on potatoes Mid buttermilk. The potato crop failing, his susten ance is gone. He still labors, he still raises grain: but his landlord seizes the blessed food of hetacrt for rent. Is not this enough to make men in Ire land agrarians ?—Phil. Bulletin. Range of the Beaver in the United States.-1n Silliman's Journal for May, is a communication from S. B.

The position of the Democratic party in Penn sylvania, at the present time, is one of great and pleasing interest to our fellow citizens of other States; and to none, it would seem, do our political affairs appear more interesting, than the Democ racy of our sister Ohio. And it is not wonderful that this should be so; for, notwithstanding the mapy Federal prophesies of ruin , to all the leading interests of our State, which was to foilow the passage of the Tariff act of 1W; and the mista ken views entertained by many of ourleadingmen, (who are thoroughly sound upon all the Other great topics now dividing the country.) respecting the practical operations of that la'w ; all are now satis fled that no injury can result to the true interests of Pennsylvania, by the adoption of measures caleulated to promote the good of the whole coun try, ; and our friends have therefore determined fully to sustain that great.measure. The conse quences of the adoption of that law are now fully understood by the people; and. thoy are unwilling to make a change which Will produce an unsettled and uncertain state of commercial, agricultural, manufacturing and monetary affairs. Governor, iStrunk has been one of the foremost in supporting those broad and comprehensive measures, contended foil by the most distinguished Democrats of the country. He has shown himself to 'be aboVe the mere sectional partgan ; and, entertaining enlarged views of our domestic policy, he has been able to exert an influence over the minds of his fellow citizens, and thus has eiralted the political eharac , tc4-of Pennsylvania, far above any of his prede. cessors for many years past. We arc pleased to find evidences of the high es. , tinate in which our worthy Governor is held in other States; but more so than usual, to find so high au estimate placed upon him by. the editor of the Ohio Statesman, who has himself so nobly bat- tled against Federalism ; and who speaks the sen timents of the enlightened and intelligent Democ recy of the Buckeye State. We transfer his arti cle to our columns with pleasure ; assuring our friends of Ohio, at the same time, that the Democ eacy of Pennsylvania were never, perhaps, more firmly resolved to sustain their present chief magis irate, their principles, and the country. The ides Of October will find us no less united than we now ire; and only more devoted to the great principles lof Jefiersonian Democracy. Brethren of Ohio F I • you will not be disappointed! : Govtnx i=r-..misjtairtilirolairiary interest to the democracy of that State, and to the Union. rile name of Fris.xcis R SHUNS is a tower of ' 'strength to his party, and a word of confidences 'and hope to every lover of equal rights throughout'. 'the land. He presents the toe rare spectacle of a Ilman in whom his fellow-citizens have reposed I:trust and confidence, and who, in letter and in spir ,iit, has fulfilled that trust. The administration of Governor Shank,' in Pennsylvania. will form an :epoch in her political history; and its influence will be felt not only within her own borders, but in every State in this Union. For during that pe riod, the same great questions that have been dis cussedin Ohio, and also in other States, have been agitated in Pennsylvania. The equal rights of the citizens, and the corrupt and oppressive demands of monopolies and chartered institutions, have there met in conflict. Governor chunk has been found on the side of the people; and by his firm, just, and fearless defence of the sacred trust repos -1 ed in him by the people, he has rendered to them limmeasurable service, and entitled himself to the highest honor. Whenever the democracy of a' State shall experience the same good fait!' and steaiifast truth in her executive that has been, for 1 the last three years, manifested by Francis R. Shunk in Pennsylvania, never can the federalists acquire power within the State. The democracy, strong and triumphant, will present the glorious 1 spectacle of ,a party rejoicing in the soundness and success of its principles and the fidelity of its ser- rants. I As truth must prevail, we cannot doubt the re-1 election of Governor Shrink. And we would only , say to our democratic breOren of Pennsylvania,l I that, in thel coming elect-Ten, not only are their own interests deeply involv'ed in the re•clectiOn of ' ' an honest and worthy magistrate, but the demoo racy of the'whole Union dre watching the event with solicitude. They are anxious to see the mighty interests of Pennsilvania in the dare of such a man' as Francis R. Shunk. They desire to see the conduct of a true, leaflets, and wise public servant, ap roved by a large majority;'and they 1 ) hope to re ice ice in a proud triumph of democracy, through for reelection of one of her most Worthy sons. Brethren of Pennsylvania, let us not be din ' appointed ! . Cat I The Whigs in all quarters of the Union, partic ularly those who were originally in favor of the nomination of the gallant and patriotic General, so far from being chagrined at the " Signal letter, - arr rather the more strongly impressed with the belief that no better man can be elected to the high office of Chief Magistrate of this great nation, than this plain Republican and tried patriot, who, while he shrinks not from openly avowing his political principles and predilections; yet with equal frank ness proclaims, even though at the risk of a nomi• nation for the office, that 1 - ie can never yield him self to "party schcaus." The Whigs go not for party. but for, their country. They ask not for a President who will alone sustain and countenance the " schemes" of cliques and factions, but fur one who will administer the affairs of the Nation, with an eye single to the-good of the whole country, and in accordance with the precepts and example of the early fathers of the Republic. [Detroit Advertiser. (fed.) We put the above paragraph on record, for the purpose of exhibiting the base hypocricy of the federal press. The great mass of the federal party, are utterly opposed to the nomination of any man for the presidency, unless he candidly a vows his political sentiments, and those sentiments correspond with their own. A few dishonest poli ticians, who haVe hung to the skirts of the federal party for years, merely for the sake of office—ban rupts in fortune and - principle—are endeavoring to drag General Taylor into their party traces, to be the victim of their , ! party schemes." The old Sol dier, however, is too honest a man, to become a pupil and prisoner in the federal ranks, and be promptly tells them that he will have nothing to do.with their "schemes" and ",cliques"—he cannot solar forget his duty to his country as to become the tool and slave of men who have arrayed them selves against that country, and taken sides with the common enemy. " I will have nothing to do gentlemen,—you 'are worse than the Mexicans!" - Although this 'surely enough to satisfy reasonable " Whigs" )that they cannot ex pect any favors from .General Tavr.xin, yet we find e•few - persons iiithat party who affect to be satis fied With the Generes.answer to the editor of the Signal. Suppose, for a.mornent, that Gen. Taylor should be elected to the Presidency; and suppose again, that the Federalists be in the majority in the next Congress. They pass a bill to incorporate e Na tional Bank, with a capital of $30,000,000, and the bill is sent to President 'Taylor for his signature. The General reads it over, shakes his head, and sayS he Can never append, his name to any such "scheme" as that-it-is an old Hamiltonian Feder al measure—a "party stheme" to overthrow the liberties of the country, and to make the rich rich er and the poor poorer. "These Congressmen are worse than Mexicans, (says the old hero,) 1 shall veto this . bal." MEI the present Wholesome revenue law, under the ope rations of which, the country has drospered beyondi' all precedeht ; and substitute, in its place, a high. protective 'Tarill;.to build up the New England manufactories, and prostrate the shipping and agri cultural interests of the country. The bill is des patched to the White House for the signature of ' President Taylor.. " Ah, ha I" says the. General, here is morF a cif yotfr 'party schemes.' I told you I wOuld , go for my country,' and would do no act to disturb its "glory ainl.prosPerity. This new bill of yours smacks too much of Federalism—the in- terests of the country do not require its passage— I shall Jet well 'enough alone—here, take your . • party .scheme' back to the Capitol, and let my veto accompany it!" The Federal Congressmen have sundry other panty schemes" before-them,such as a bill to com mence a grand system of Internal Improvements by the General Government; a Bill to provide for the Assumption of State Debts a Bill in relation to the abolition of the Veto Power; a Bill declar. ing that Texas of right belongs to Mexico, and that the true boundary between that country and this is the Sabine river, &c, &c. But after the re turn of President Taylor's messages, vetoing the Bank and Tariff His, the Federal Congress con. elude it is high time for them to cease passing "party schemes," and unanimously resolve that Gen. 'F.A.rion is a •" traitor" to their party, and de serves to be ranked with. the apostate" John Tyler ! From the Ohio Statesman Again, the federal Congress pass a bill 'to repeal Miuralic Meeting. Purmvult to notice, the Democratic Committee of Correyondmce for Allegheny county, convened at the W ishington Hotel on Tuesday evening, the 27th inst. The lion. Charles Shaler in the Chair.

INI By the arrival of the steamer Mary Kingsland,' at New Orleans, we are furnished with Brazos dates to theThith instant. Rumors had been cur rent there, diatUen. Urrea was about to attack: Reynosa with a force of 5000 men; and prepare- tions were being made for the defence of the place. It was said that detachments of his force bad been ,seen along the river; and his object wis believed Ito be to attack the depots for wagons and trains between Camargo and Monterey. These rumors were not confirmed by the Matamoros Flag of the 1 10th ; but there were similar' accounts relating to Carajol-; A gang of desperadoes, Mexicans and others, had been discovered near Brazos, and taken pris oners. The rancho which they had frequented had been burned to the ground. The Picayune publishes a letter from Lieut. Barker, dated June gilth, at the cjty of Mexico, in which he says that provision had been made for the release of .Maj. Gaines, but not for the rest of the prisoners. It was not expected to extend to himself, Quarter Master Smith, nor Midshipman Badgers; and that Santa Anna had no idea of re leasing any of them; but intended to send them to Acapulco, on the Pacific. Lieut. Barker was taken prisoner when in command of an escort to a wagon train, in February last. The escort was cut to pieces, and he was believed to have been murdered.. • PIE LADELPHiA MARKET.

LOCAL MATTERS ClattFoyance• As therwappears to be a•sort - of suspensiomfl public speculation on the subject of. Mesmerism I and Clairvoyance; allow me to recommend.tbe oc cupation of your Column's with the following sum mary of evidence on this subject, taken from the latest scientific,.WOrk, , (Dr!' Estlaile's.) Ido not know what kind of a doctor Mr. Julius Lemoyne pretends to be ; but if it is M. D., he had better stand posted up with information which is em ployed in as daily utility to.the human race as_the pill and lancet. It is surprising how behind the age our learned pedants 'and sciolistic professors art. With all their parade oil some subjects, in this'they revel over' the poet's, adage, " Where ig norance is bliss, 'tie folly to be wise." . Mr. Colquhoun, the translator'' of Wienholt, sup plies us, from his extensive reading, with a number of the best authenticated cases, descriptive of the same condition of things in Somnambulism and derangement of the nervous system induced by Mesmerism. The reporters_of the facts in question, are, for the most part, men whose intellectual attainments, in general, are known to be of a superior order, and, whose moral character is above suspicion. They will - be found to be principally eminent physicians, such as Hufeland, physican to the King of Fiance; Steiglits, physician to the King of Hanover; Brandis, physician to the King of Denmark; Klein, physician to the King of Wurtetn burg ; Weinholt; Olbeis, the astronomer; Sprengel, author of a His- I.:try of Medicine and other learned works•; Haia dorf, Noite, Spindler, Nasse, Nees. Von Esenbeck, Passarant, Ziermann, Hemroth, Leupoldt. " Phy- Biologists, such as Reit, Zreriranus, Autenreith, Humboldt, 'Bladed), Eschenmayer, Kieser, &c.— Naturalists, such as Laplace, Cuvier, Oken. losophers,such as Fichte, Schelling, Heffens,Baader, Hegel. TheOlogians, Such as Schliermacher, Mayer, &c. To these might be added a vast number of men of general science, and celebrated literary . characters. The French magnetists, Puysegur, Deleuze, Bertrand, George t,Cuvier, Despine, Rasta!), Husson, Felasster, Foissac,_Gauthier, Teste; constitute a perfect host. In order to deprive the most obdurate sceptics al every pretence for denying the extraordinary facts of. Somnambulism; (natural,) and Clairvoyance, (artificial,) Mesnyrism, or Entrancement, we pro-, cced to the brief enumer a tion of cases in which the controverted phenomena were distinctly and tmegivocally ma_nifested. Dr. Tutschlers, somnambulist, a 'boy of thirteen years of age, saw and recognized the numbers and pictures on cards, when introduced under the bed- cover and placed upon his stomach, in complete darkness and covered, moreover, by the hand of the magnetizer. The same occured in the case of writ• ten notes. Madame Millet, magneized by Van Ghert, saw her physician's hand and finger, by means of the epigdstrium. At another period, she recogrdzed in a similar manner, some portraits. At last, she be came so clairvoyant as to be able to read by means of the epigastrium, at the distance of a foot and a shall Miss St.—, under the care cf Dr. Lehmann, actually discovered the color of cards, by means of the epjgastrium i—through the , same medium, IMaria Rubel, in Langenburg, read sealed letters, nay, even written characters, enveloped - in a cover ing of double linen. Kleser's epileptic boy, read fluently by means of the pit of the stomach. Dr, lief his watch. She also - recognized the pfetnr.---: .y-StgtlM-,-17,,,,,-..--...--1---1,.....,..........t.--1.--.any other patientS; the functions of other organs were- also manifested at the epigastrium. Dr.Josepb Frank's patient, Louisa Barkmann, recognized and felt the taste of sugared water, at the epigastrium region , and heard at the same place. A servant girl, mag netized by Be Talent, also heard at the epigastrium. Dr. Klein's patient said " This is very comical, I hear by means of my stomach," and she laughed aloud, at the singularity of the phenomenon. Her cars being stopped, she said, " That is of no use, I hear with this," pointing to her stomach. In the ease of others, the common senses seem ed to be transferred to the points of the fingers-, as in the ease of Miss M'Evoy of Liverpool. .Profes sor Kieser's patient, Anthony Arst, read with his forefinger and designated cards in the same man .. ner. Nay, when he held his elbow out of the win- Idow he saw every thing in the street to the distance. of 150 paces. Van Ghert, somnanbulist, saw by means of the lingers, as also Madame Millet and 1 Maria Rubel, formerly noticed, Dr. Derri;s patient 1 An idiot somnambulist boy at Helmstedt read flu ently by means of his breast and fingers. Dr. Meyers' patient at Durken.in Rhenish Prussia, heard with the points of his finger's: One of Dr. Dr. Kerner's subjects heard with her , fingers some times, and often with every part of her body. 'Arti-, cles of food she tasted with her fingers, as with her mouth. The second referred to, saw only when she placed her finger on the pit of her stomach or, on the crown of her head. She sometimes hearth , smelt and saw with the point of her middle finger. Other cases are recorded in which the patients saw and heard with the nose; chin, the elbow and knees, the toes and all the prominent parts of the body. Augusta Miller ofCarlsruhe, saw with her forehead, her eyelids and her eyebrows. Dr. %Ver ner mentions, as a singular peculiarity, that his somnambulist (natural clairvoyant) posiessed the' power of changing the focus of the ... vision at pf.-a sure. (This case is for sale at W. S. Caldwell's, under the title of '"Guardian Spirts.”). In some cases, it would appear the whole body be comes as it were clairvoyant. This was the case with Dr. Heneckenis patient at Bremen, who saw without the assistance of the eye or any other spe cial organ. And she expressly_ declared that such persons were more clairvoyant than those whose perceptive faculties were localised. The foregoing facti - , it is presumed, must be suf ficient to convince every candid and unprejudiced mind of the existence in certain states of the Or ganism, of the phenomenon of sensible perception, without the use of the appropriate organs. - It pre sents a body of evidence in support of the exist ence of natural and artificial clairvoyance, given by the same description of persons, -thysicians of eminence and unimpeached honor. Unless we re ject all human testimony,clairvoyance is a subject lon which it is useless to accumulate facts and evi dence to "taboo" its impression, on the human mind. RANI, COURT Housr.
