The , dense forest—in the very heartOf which, the home of 011iwachica 1.4. -groaned beneath the appalling atorm, and the deep muttering and howlidg of thei blast, were on ly relieved by the occasional leudlcrash of soma falling-tree. ;Towards midnight, the storm abated, and gradually died away, bui at was not till day ! light had dawned, that the old man appeared. it his Cabin door. , .1 -I I was immediately struck with 1 the altered ap pearance . of the Propbet.l Seine ;dreadful catas trophe, or iinpending danger, evidently afflicted him, but ia'\ answer to ' my earnest enquiries whether any evil had befallen him, he only poin ted to the prostrate form of a noble tree, which, as I now observed; had heen i dasheil to the ground, during the ! storm, close to the cabin door; while a few distant, the largo:it:midi of a dead elm threw its branches far aloft; creakidg and tottering in the wind, and threatening molnentarily, to tr vervvhelm the wigwam beneath to its fall. Breath lessly, he entered the cabin, seated himself.hy the fire, and covering his face with his hands, wits for some minutes silent..; At length, recovering his self-pos l aession, he rose from hie seat, and e. 7 tended the ,hand of friendship. . One white man ,: has been My friend,' sail he, and one only: I My last hope is gone. Your 'people have taken freet . me that stiff, upon which, in my Old age, I might have leaned ; but, my eon.'

When the last steamo't sailed, a kind of panic prevailed in the corn market ; prices were ris ing, speculators were buiiy;, and great fears existed that the stock on hand wonlilnot laq until the new crop was got in. I Wales has been giving additional uneasiness to the powers that be. Twg or three weeks hack, it was believed that the ernutp, of which the south= ern counties of the Pri l ecipality had been the. scene were exhausted, or at feast' subdued for a time. Recent events hive proved otherwise.-- The Welsh breakers of gates 'and midnight.praw lore have shown a degree of tact and daring in their illegal perambulations which proves, not only that they are thoroughly b l ended together•for a com mon object, but that they have perfect reliance on each other's fidelity. • The disclosures of a drunk en partizan led, it Will hti seen, to some apprehen sion&which were not made without desperate • ertions, and no little danger.

Govirereent lqoks passtvelyon, prepaired for nothing but to ex tinguish the flame when it breakseut.: IP this respect no change has taken place since; the soil ing of the last packet.• O'Connell hsof published a statement of his finances, which, unlike those of the national Exchequtir, shows a great - surplus over expenditure. And he talks of finder move ments, having for their abject the superieding of, - legitimate authority, which put the'quiescept po licy of Sir Robert Peel .o a still greater test, the' want of adeilaste employ t ment, the heavy tolls on, the roads, the high rents the low price of produce, and the poverty of the ;people—these, and other : irritating causes which fit men's minds for 'trea sons,' stratagems and spoils, are still force, and likely to remain. The second Repeal Tuam Demonstration took place on the ft let ult., op the rece.conrse of Gur rewa, about two-miles from the town. ft was very numerously. attended. Several resolutions were passed. O'Connell addressed the meeting, expressing great delight et its magnitude. He found great I fault sith the people of Ahascrath - ", a small vil- I lage who had broken the law by storming and in juring the policemen, (Meer whom had' taken down a triumphal arch. If wrong,_the law was open to them, and he promised them' that they should not want its protection. But the traitors of Ahascragh, instead of resorting to it, violated ;at the same the very finat,principle of Repeal As sociation, ,which required that there alicruld . be no tumult, no rioting, and no violence of arty descrip don. . I The dieruPtiori in the Church Establishment= of Scotland is now fullraml complete. .By Use .last accounts it appears that upwards of four hun dred and fifty of the meat zealous and able minis; tars have seceded, relincluished their coterriporali; ties, and abandoned all cOnnection with the State. The affairs of Spain 'comprise all that is of in terest in the foreign news of the last fortnight. Espartero, overthrown, id coniplerely out of the field, and his regency done for ever. The two parties which have" brotiOf abed the` evolution, will new begin, in all probability, to cut each Aimed throats, indeed, qymptoms of this friendly l i - feeling has already-developed itself at Barcelonia. If Espirtero could-:have paid his soldiers, he would have kept them faithful ; but their poverty, ' the absence of all legitioiate discipline, and the a bundance with which French gold was scattered to corrupt them: have breught matters to the pros. ant crisis. His army I of; late years has been much larger , than was really necessary. Half the number, properly provided with funds and ra-. dons, would We been' Much greater' service in his hour of need. However; a fearful retribution will not be long in overtpking the victors. In the mean time, there is little doubt that Christina 'will egain enter Spain,' taking with her,"in all probability, k Bourbonlson•in-law. Of course, all chance of a commercial treaty with England is at an end, seeing that , the parties have been most virulent against . Espartero are the persons who imagine they would suffer .most by' such a measure—the cotters mltnufacturors of Catalonia and their partisans.
