The Ohio Btate Faircommencfes at Newark to

In Now Orleans, daring the month of Septem
ber, thero were fire hundred and forty-three
deaths from yellow fewer, and the epldetnlo still
prevails.
,Odr own city is nearly free from Cholera, and
the report of the Board of Health will Bbow in
creased healthiness from all diseaws on last
week's exhibit.
There were 482 deaths iu New York last week,
of which 25 were from Cholera. In Philadel

Indiana hue elected nine nuti-Admidtstration

Ah ingenious persou suggests a method by
which the Arctic might have becu saved. It
sounds very plausible, but unfortunately in such
times men bate little time to find out new
remedies.
A third despatch has been received from Cap.
tain Loco, in which ho states that Mrs. Collins,
Miss Cellina. and Master Collins, swept
from the deek of the A:ctio as she went down—
that they did not get Into the boat whioh pre
cipitated so many into the sea.
Avertible calamity occurred at Troy, N. Y.,
on Friday morning, by the upsetting of a ferry
•kiff. Oat of seventeen persons on board, only
Mx were saved. The boatman, Edward Yetto,
was among the drowned. Those on board
were principally young men, employed at
Wheeler & Taylor’s chair factory. West Troy,
whither they were going to wotk.
BUSINBSS PUOftPBGTS—FOOU—KIUCK-
Tbe drought is over; the cholera has left our
city; the eleotlon is ever. We have now time to
return to more congenial topics.
We are. inclined to the opioion that the sea
son of high prices for food le almost over also.
Notwithstanding the shortness of the crops of
corn and potatoes in large regions of the coun
try, facts enough have been ascertained to allay
all apprehension of scarcity of food. Taking
the whole country together, fully two-thirds of a
corn crop bate been harvested; and two-thirds
of the usual supply of potatoes. The whole
amount of wheat raised In the country was
greater than lost year, wheo we bad millions of
bushels for exportation. No foreign demand
will rill for exportation this year; and that cur
pias of wheal will supply to a great extent, the
deficiency of oorn und potatoes. Of the smaller
grains there is a pretty good supply. Ilsy was
abandaut in most parts of tho country. The
imports of grain and provisions from Canada,
which are cow free of duty, will be large ; and
wiy do much towards supplying the wsnts of
the eastern States and Atlantic oities. There is
then no foreign demaud to encourage specula
tive prices, and produoe undue excitement in
the provision markets of the west. With food
enough for man and boast, and with the demand
limited to the home oousomption, it seems pret
ty certain that prices mast recede considerably
before winter.
This, we believe, is particularly true in Pitts
burgh, where flour is now as high asMn New
York. The suspension of navigation on the ft**
ers for two months, by low water, prevented the
usual supply of wheat, flour and other products
by the rivers. A rise of water ttty'sooa be ex
pected ; and • largo amounts of provisions will
doubtless come in on the first good stage of
water.
Tbe demand for Pittsburgh manufactures
this jeer cannot fall much belo v coy furmer
jeer*. They are generally artiolea of neeeeet
ty ; such aa farming ntenaila, iron, nails, gUfs
and otter articles, that most be purchased
etery year ttronghont the Treat; and tbe west is
abondantly able to-purchase them. There can
be no doubt that the large purchaser of provis
ions at highpricea last year from4be west, seat*
tsred larga amounts of money over that whole
region. Notwithstanding tbe talk of tight mon
ay markets in ' the cities, the oonntry most be
tolerably wall supplied. There is now more,
money in the eoontry than ever before; and It If
more generally and equally distributed. There
Is, then, abundant mesne to purehaee all needed
ff-rrHtt of meanfaetnree, and there will probe*
bly be about aa active a demand ae usual. Oat
merchants and manufacturers then may prosper.
The steamboat! can hardly expert os active
employment ae laet year. Every means of con
veyance was folly employed then, to carry for
vrard (be produce to tbe seaboard for shipment
to Europe.
A large amount of the shipping In the Atlan
tic ports Is Idle, and freights are low. The
name oanees will affect somewhat tbe steamboat
Interns [on oar lakes and rivers. Bat, still
mors will they affect tbe railroads. Last year
tbe Pennsylvania railroad was crowded to its
utmost eapaeity with freights going eastward
for several months. The amount of freights
will doubtless be greatly reduced this year com
pared with thc'ttflt: and all the railroad com
panies will have to be content with somewhat
redooed profits. They may expect the profits of
ordinary years. Last year was an extraordinary
one for them.
And now a word more about prloes.
We see ho reason why beef and other meats
lo our markets should continue to bear such
high prises. Beef cattle aad sheep, we are told,
can be bought unusually low.
The time for paying 50 cents, or 40, or eveo
80 cents a pound for butter canoot last muoh
longer.* Tbe fall feed must be now in "a tolera
ble condition; and the market is beginning to be
better supplied with batter.
Milk, we believe, is seven or eight bents a
quart.. Is there any oocasion now for double tbe
former price T
Whoever pays sixty-two oents per peck for
potatoes, gets less of nutritious food than the
same money'would buy in wheat flour, or ooi n
meal.
Some of these prloes will have to come down
in spite of combinations and hucksters. We
have laws against huckstering ; but, unfortu
nately, we have nobod/ to enforce them. ‘ We
have been promised some facts in regard to the
huckstering business of this city, which will be
published when received; and will show that
our citizens are compelled to pay exhorbitnnt
prices without Buy adequate cause, exoept to
enrich those whose trade is unlawftfl.
We look uponhucksters as a class not needed.
Producers of iood. can supply it to consumers,
without the Intervention of each a olaee of tra
ders.;. and their Urge profits is just so muoh un*
nefcrimrily added to the cost of food'.for the
whole community..
It Is probable that the deuuad for labor will
he somewhat reduced daring the ooming winter,
In this city and elsewhere; and the laboring
el uses especially 'are interested in the suppres
sion of all unnecessary causes of the emhanoe
neat of the price of food.

The
rath-
E. K. Collins— /W Sir: It becomes my
painful duty to inform you of tbe total loss of
the Arctic, under toy command, with your wife,
son and daughter.
The Arctic eailed from Liverpool on Wedaes
duy,September 20, at 11, A. M., with 233 passen-'
gera and about 160 of a crew. Nothing of spe
cial note occurred during tbo passage until Wed
nesday, September 27, when, at nooo, wo were
on the Banks, In lat. 4G:45 north, and long. 62
west, steering west by compass.
The weather had been foggy during tbo day;
generally a distance of half to three-quarters of
a mile could bo seen, but .at intervals of a few
minutes % very dense fog, followed by being suf
ficiently dear to see one or two miles. At noon
I left the deck for the purpose of working cut
the position of the ship. In about fifteen min
utes I heard the ery of " Hard starboard,” from
the officers of the deck. 1 rushed on dock, and
bail just got out when I felt a crash forward, and
ut the same moment saw a steamer under the
starboard bow ; at the next moment she struck
against our guards, and passed astern of us.
Tbe bows of the strange vessel seemed to bo
literally cut or crushed off for foil ten feet; and
seeiog that she must probably sink in a few mio
utes, and taking a hasty glance at oar own ship,
and believing that we were comparatively unin
jured, my first impulse was to endeavor tu puve
the lives of those un board the sinking vessel
The boats were cleared, and the first officer and
six men left with one boat, when it w*a found
our own ship was leaking fearfully.
The engineers were set to w&rk, being instruct
ed lo put on the steam pumps, and tho four -it ck
pumps were worked by tho p*esen{**ra atwi crew,
and tbe ship headed for tbe land, which I
to he about fifty miles distant. 1 was cniup'-lb-J
to leave my boat with the first officer and crew
to take of themselves.

Several ineffectual attempts were midr to stop
the leak, by getting sails »vrr tho bows; bat
finding the leak gaining on us v«ry fast, not
withstanding all our very powerful ftf,»rts to
keep her free, I resolved to get the boats ready,
and as many ladies and children placed in them
ae possible; but no toousr bad the attempt been*
made than iht firemen and others rushed into them
tn spite e/ opposition.
Bering this elate of things, I ordered the boats
astern to be kept in readiness until order be re
stored; when, to my disomy, i saw them ntt the
ropes in the l*ow, and soon disappear astern in the
fog. Another boat was broken down by persous
rushing at the davits, aod many were precipila
ted into the ecu and drowned. This occurred
while 1 had beon engaged iu getting the star
board.guard b at ready, and placed the second
officer In.charge, vhrn the same fearful scene as
the first beat tr as being enacted—men leaping from
list top of the rail twenty feet, pushing and mann
ing those who were in the boat. I then gave or
deft to the hecood”officer to (el go! and row ffttr
tbj* ship, keeping under or near the stern, to be
ready to take on board women and children, as
soon as tbe fires were cot and engines stopped.
My attention was then drawn to the other quar
ter boat, which I found broken down, but bang
ing by one tackle. A rush was made for her also,
and some fifteen got in, and cut (he taekls, and were
soon ant of si§hL i found that not a seaman was
left on board, or earpenter, and we were wlthdht
any tools to assist us In building a raft, as aw
only hope. The only offioer left was Mr. Dorian,
tbe third mate, who aided me, with the assist
ance of many of the passengers, who deserve
great praise for tbeir coolness and energy in do
ing elHn their .power up to tbe very latest mo
ment Itcfore tbo ship souk.
The Chief Engineer, with s pnrt of his amis
tents, had taken oar smallest deck boat, aod be
fore the ship went down pulled away with ebdut
fifteen persona.
We bed succeeded in getting the fore and main
yard, and two top gallant yards overboard, and
such other small spars and materials ae weooold
collect, when l was folly convinced that the ship
must go down in a very ebort time, and not n
moment was to be lost in getting the spsrelssh
ed together to forms raft, to do which it became
necessary to get tbe life boat, oor only remain
ing boat. Into tbe water.
This being accomplished, I saw Hr. Dorian,
the chief offioer of tbo boat, taking oars to keep
tbe oars on board to prevent thttu from leaving
the ship, hoping still to get most of tfie womeo
and oblldre* in tills boat at last. They had made
considerable progress in collecting the spars,
when' aft atom was givea that tbe ship was sink
ing, and the boat was shoved.off without oars or
anything to help themselves with, and when the
ehip tank the boat bad got clear, probably an
eighth of a mile to leeward.
in an inetant, about a quarter to five , P. M., the
! thip went down, carrying eetry soul cn board with
her,.
I soon found myself on the surface, after a
brief straggling with my owa helpless child in
my arms, when again 1 felt myself impelled
downwards to a great depth, and befpre I reach
ed the surface a second time bad nearly perish
ed, and hit the hold oj my child. As 1 again
struggled to tho surtaoo of the water, a most
awful and hesrtrendloff soene presented itself to
my view—over two hundred men, women and chil
dren struggling together amidst pieces of wreck of
tvery kind, calling on each other for help, ami
imploring God to assist them. Such an appalllog
scene may God preserve me from ever witness
ing again. |
1 was in tbe act of trying to save my child
when a portion of the paddle box came rushing
up edgewise, just grating my head, falling with
its whole weight upon tbe head of my darling
child. Another moment I beheld him lifolcsis in
the water. 1 succeeded in getting on to tbe top
of the paddle btx, in company with eleven
others; one, however, soon left for another piece,
finding ..that it could not support so many.
Others remained until they were one by one re
lieved by death. Wo stood in water, at a tem
perature of forty five degrees, up to our knees,
and frequently tbe sea broke directly over us.
We soou separated from our friends on other
parts of the wreck, and passed the night, caeb
one of us expeotiog every hour would bo our
last.
At last the wished for morning came, sur
rounded with a dense fog—not a living soul to
be seen but otirowo men being
left In the course of tte morning we nv some
water oaeks and other things belonging to our
ship, but nothlog that wo could get to afford ue
any relief.
Our raft was rapidly settling, as it absorbed
wator.
- About noon, Mr. 8. M. Woodruff, of, New
York, was relieved by death. All the others now
began to suffer very severely for want of water,
oxcept Mr. George P. Allen and myeelf. In that
respect we were very much favored, although we
had not a drop on tbe raft. The day continued
foggy, exoept just at noon, as near aa we oould
judge, we had a olear boriton for about half an
hour, and nothing conld be seen but water and
gky. Night same on thick and dreary, with our
minds made up that neither of ue would again
see the tight of another day. Very soon three
more of our suffering party were relieved by
death, leaving Mr. Allen, a young man, and my
eelf. Feeling myself getting exhausted, I now
sat down for tte first time, about eight o’oloek
In tte evening, on a trunk, which providentially
bad been found on tte wreck. In this, way I
slept a little throughout the-nlght,. and became
somewhat refreshed. _ , „
About an hour before daylight—now Friday,
the 29th—we saw a vessel's light near to us.
We all three of us exerted ourselves to the ut-

cam© qnito exhausted. In about a quarter of an
hour tbe light disappeared to the east ot .us.
■Stow'afterdbyllgWr*bark hflve in sighttiffifo
northwest, tbe fog having lightened a little—
staring apparently for ns; but In a short time,
mheemed to have changed her coarse, and agafak
we were doomed to disappointment; yet I fbft
I hope that aome of our fvlloW-sufFeters may have
been seewand rescued by.them. .
Bhortly after we had given up all hopes of
faring reamed by the bark, a ehip was discovered
to the east of ns, steering directly fo# us. We
now watched her with the most intense anxiety
at ebe approached. Tbe wind ohanging, caused
her to atter her course several points. About
noon they fortunately discovered a man on a raft
near them, and succeeded in saving him by tbe
second mate jumping over the eide, and making
a rope fast crouud him, when he was got on
board safely This man s ived proved to be a
Frenchman, who was a passenger on board the
steamer which we came in collision with.
Ho informed the Captain that others were near
on pieces of the wreok; and, going aloft, be
saw us and three others. We were tbo first to
which the boat was sent, and safely taken on
hoard about three P. ‘M- Tbe next was Mr.
James Smith, of Mississippi, second-class pas
senger. Tbe others saved were five of oar fire
men. The ship proved to be the Cambria, of
this port, from Glasgow, bound to Montreal,
iptuin John RusstU, who commanded the bark
Juste Slevtnt, and was rescued by Captain Nye of
the Pacific. Of Captain Russell it would scarce
ly be possible to say enough in bis praise for
the kind treitmcut we every one of us have re
ceived from bit* during the time we have been
ou board hie ship. Hie own comforts be gave np
in every respect for our relief. The Rev Mr.
Walker aod lady, and another gentleman, who
were passengers by the Cambria, have been un
oeasing in their endeavors to promote oor com
fort. To them, and to all on board, we shall
ever owe a Jeht of gratUue for tbeir unbounded
kindness to us.
From tbe Frenchman who was picked np, we
learned that the steamer with which we came iu
collision was the screw steamor Vesta, from Bt.
Pierre, bound for, and belonging to Greenville,
France. As near as we coaid learo, tbe Vesta
was steering east southeast, and was crossing
our course two points, with all sails set, wind
wes'by south. Her anohor stock, about seven
by fonr iuebes square, was driven through the
bows of the Arctic, about eighteen inches above
the water line, and an immense bole had been
made, at the same instant, by tbe fluke of the
anchor, about two feet below the water line,
raking fore and aft tbe plank, aod finally break
in; the chains, leaving the stock remaining in
and through tbe *i<Te of tbe Arotic, or it is not
nolikely that, as ao mneh of her bows had been
crushed in, that some of the heavy longitudinal
pieces of iron roLuing through the ehip may
have been driven through oar side, causing the
loss of car ship, aod, l fear, hundreds of most'
valuable lives.
I have safety arrived at Qaebec, and I am left
without a pi nny in the world with which to help
myself. With eloqere gratitude to those from
whutn 1 have received such unbounded kindness
sioce 1 have beeti providentially thrown amongst
them, I am about to separate to go to New York
—* home of sorrow. **
! learned from the Doctor, at quarantine, last
•'vt-ning, that tho Vesta bad reached Bc. Johns
with several passengers from the Arctio, bot
c'.iiM n<it learn the particulars. Ae soon as I
ohu get ou shore, 1 shall make arraogementa to
leave for New York with tbe least possible delay.
1 take tbe ste-smer for Montreal this afternoon.

The London Titnet of u Uto date contains the
detail* of tbo trial before M. Bodkin, a bench of
Magistrates, and a jury, of one Andrew. Hepburn,
charged with the crime if disturbing a congre
r-tiou of Mortnuus, who were quietly worship
ping io a hall hired and licensed by them for the
purpose, in Conformity to a general statute, re
quiring all dissenting congregations to procure
t noh places of worship. It appeared that the
prisoner enured the ball, with a book and pa
• peri iu bis hand, aul while the preacher was
Engaged in the services, loudly demanded to be
informed where the text was, Ac The distur
bance created by him was so great, that the po
lice interfered, and, after violent struggles, he
was secured. Tbe mormon preacher then pre
ferred a complaint agaiuvt Hepburn for the
crime of ditturbing a worsbippiqgeoagregation
The curious part of the case Is the defence set
up by the cocnsel for the accused, who held that
as the Mormon tenets were not baaed open the
‘'received elements M Chjjatlanity; ao they could
not be cooridrfrtFtttcsUnt dissenters, and the
statute only granting the lieenae to hold meet
ings and to preach to such, the disturbing of
hlormongatherings 39UIJ not be a crime under
the sutuie. This ppint it was strenuously at
tccuptrd to hold, bat-the conrt decided adverse
ly. and the defendant wan oouvictod and hrid to
bail to appear for judgment, when called upon,
the plaintiff very feneronsly requesting that
judgment should not, be immediately rendered,;
cn tho dofeudaat’s pounds© not again to disturb
the worship of the effiigftgariou.
Tbe Times is iodi§nari at the ruling of the

the intolerant theories of Church and State, and

institutions in this Innovation. The alleged po
lygamy of the ’Matter Day Saints’* it urged
agninet them as good cause why they should not
be recognised as Christians, but the witnesses
distinctly stated that this part of their practloe
is not known in Bn gland, aod so far as appeared
upon the record before the Court, tbe Congrega

body, enjoying its legal rights in worshipping
God, under a paid Unease. The Court, in oor

To the Editor of the Z7eraM:—The Arctic might
have been saved by:simply running her stern
foremost. Here f ootB :—Water, four feet
below its surface, rushes through au adjutage
with a velocity of Iftfeet per eeeond, at five feet,
18 feet; at six feet, #0 feet per second, Ac.; oon
svquently, the Arctle, when ranotng with her,
open by first, at tie rate of ten knots an
hour—equal to 16 feel per seooad—would double
the velocity of a leakF at the depth of 4 feet, at
cloven knots, a depth of 6 feet ;*and at twelve
knots, a depth of 6feet, Ac. On the contrary,
had shebeen put abler "stern way" at the rate
of ten knots an hoto, her velocity would have
been equal to th*g veloolty of the leak at the
depth of 4 feet; atieven knots, 6 feet; and at
twelve, a depth of Ajeet, Ac. It Is olear, there
