Sitting /n his Wilco was a lawyer,

On the 181701.8 1111111)118 face,
You could read a knotty cage,
Needing law—

On a rough and knotty limb
Run his saw.
Now, the saw-hone seeined to we

Must be followed by the dust,

And the log upon the rack.-

Made a wound that would not heal,
Through the heart.

Should, by light and warmth, impart
Blessings to her aged heart,
Happy deed!

HARD TIMES
The embarrassments of our monetary sys
tem, throughout the country, have already
commenced to operate upon those who can
least afford to suffer at this moment. We
mean, the laboring classes. Manufactories
and workshops are being closed in many lo
calities. The New York Times of yesterday
haS a painfully interesting article showing to
what effect this has already taken place In the
locality which it chiefly circulates in. From
this it appears that " daily, now, the effects of
the bard times are felt in the large manufac
turing establishments, on hundreds of me
chinics, shop girls, sewing women, and day
laborers, who did not feel them the day be
fore." Several hundred laboring Ind, at
work in the Now York Central Park, were
suddenly thrown out of employment, on
Wednesday. The cabinet-snaking trade is
greatly depressed, wood being high, credit
gone, cash no where, stock large, and sales
small. The venders of ready-made clothes
haVe greatly contracted the employment
which they give at this season, in preparation
for the winter demand, not only in the city,
but for the Southern markets. It is esti
mated that not more than a third of the per
sons so employed will be,again in work before
January.
As the number of guests at the hotels has
sensibly declined, the proprietors have com
menced the thinning out of the waiters and
other attendants, most of whom are married,
with families. The manufacture of piano
fortes, and all such articles, more of luxury
than necessity, is also on the decline. In
short, neatly every sort of business in New
York feels the general depression.
The same may be said of the principal cities
of, the eastern States. Here, in Philadelphia,
a good , many hands have been discharged, and
we fear that a large proportion of these, unless
mitte' greatly and speedily improve, will ex
pekience hard times ere long. What provision
for the future they have been able to make we
know not, but we doubt whether they have laid
ap n for the rainy day " any thing like an ade
gnat° amount.
70 would impress one thing on those who
give employment to the laboring classes—
that, instead of discharging their work people,
Piey would rather fall back on what is called
OW time, and proportionably pay dower
wages. It is better thus, than to keep some
on at full wages, while others are literally
thrust out into the street, without any means
for supporting themselves and families. What
aggravates the evil is the pertinacity with
which, though the abundance of all sorts
produce is remarkable, the prices of all sorts
of provisions are kept up. After one of the
most prolific harvests we were ever blessed
with, these prices are not only as high, but even
higher than they were, a year ago. How the
mnititude, with diminished means, can conti
nuo paying these excessive prices, remains to
bo seen.
;Not only all sorts of farm and garden pro
duce are thus kept up, but butcher's meat and
bead also. Beef ranges at from two to three
cents per pound dearer than it was this time
twelve month: As for bread, we can only say
that flour is fully two dollars a barrel cheaper
than it was two months ago ; but the bakers
generally do not make any difference in the
size of bread. While flour is so cheap, it
winild be wise policy in every one who can
afford it, to purchase a barrel or two, for home
censumptien—for as winter approaches, the
price will run up.
'1';) the working classes—the honest, horny
handed sons of labor, who aro the solid founds
tiOn on which society is based, in town and
cquntry—we would give a word of counsel.
%hether they be in or out of work, let them
9erclse the most rigid economy, and learn
how to make a dollar go farther than they have
ever made it go before. They, and all of us,
should determine to practice rigid economy,
not only in their houses, but out of doors. The
necessity of the times requires this. And,
when the pressure is relieved, when honest
labor has full action again, it will bo well to
adhere to habits of prudent economy thus
formed. What was commenced from necessity,
should be continued from deliberate choice.
SBSPENSION OF HARPER & BROTHERS
Yielding to the pressure of the times, and
unable, under the influence of that pressure, to
collect the amounts due to them all over the
country, Messrs. 'HAMM, the eminent pub
lishers in New York, have been compelled to
suspend payments. For more than quarter of
a century this firm has been distinguished by
energy, tact, and considerable liberality in its
dealings. At one time or another nearly
every living author of America has had some
bhsiness-dealings with Messrs. 11/111PEIt. The
amounts which they have disbursed to paper
makers, type-founders, compositors, book
binders, newspapers, and also to authors and
aipts, make a mighty aggregate. Their sus
pension is a public misfortune, for we fear that
it will throw a large number of persons out of
employment—though, of course, the Magazine
and Weekly will continuo to give work to a
good many of them. There is no doubt of the
ultimate solvent) , of this house. Their assets
are said to be over $1,000,000 in excess of
their liabilities.
GENERAL HAVELOCK.
Brevet-Colonel HENRY HAVELOCK, the hero
of the present Indian strife—whose exploits
have shown him, as yet, the only Man among
the British officers commanding in India—who
has made Cawnpore as great a name in the
annals of British India, as Flassy was made by
Purr, a century ago—has been rewarded by
Lord Ettratair, the British war-minister, with
a good service pension of $9.22 per week, and
promotion " to the local rank of Major-Gene
ral in the East Indies." Ho has not even
been paid the compliment of getting (what
NELSON fought for) a gazette of his own, but
is set down after Colonel COTTON, an old
Indian unknown to tame, and Colonel Mrrou
au, a half-pay officer, both of whom are
raised to the same local rank. It was not
thus that M.i.vaLzos rewarded valor. Every
one of his Twelve Marshals of France arose
from the ranks, and received rank, not in
driblets, not in mere " local " holding, but
with its grade regulated by nothing but the
greatness of the recipient's services.
It le the belief of millions in India that the
goh-imoor diamond will always be fatal to Its pos
sessor, and that from the day it found a resting
place in the diadem of Victoria the fate of the
Englisl; Crown was Realed.

LITERARY CRITICISM.
TIM CAMELIA LADY, ( ~L a Dame aux Camelias,")
llterady tranelated from the French cd Ammon
DrIlA9, the Younger. 1 vol. 12mo. pp. 219. E. J.
iriarken, Philadelphia.
This most dramatic of modem French novels
was attributed, whoa first published, to the author
of "The (Yount of Monte-Chaste." It woe Written,
however, not by Dumas Pere, but Dumas fits.
Dramatic it it, to a remarkable degree, for a molo
drama and an opera—Camilla and La Trariats—
have been successfully founded upon it. The play
rose to instant end immense success, chiefly owing
to the truthful, almost painfully truthful, acting of
Madams Docile, and the opera contains a few furs
which aro among the gems &nposed by Verdi.
The original romance has never been translated
into English, we believe, until now. The version
before us is extremely well-executed. In Lot, It
may be said to be teas:of:used rather than trans
lated, from one language into another So much the
worse, say we,—tor the book is diabolically clever.
It is sensuous, and is Impregnated throughout with
mock sentimentality,which thinly veils the vicious.
nese it records.
Everybody knows the main incidents of its plot,
thanks to " Cattails" and "La Traviata," but on
the dramatic and lyrical stage the grosser details
aroJudiciously, suppressed. The luxury, the arts,
the ad life of the meretrieieus heroine aro kept
out of view, and, when the curtain falls, we pity
whore wo should ,sontlemn. Analyze the plot, and
what is it? a highly-catered narrative of the amours
of p young Frenchman who is infatuated with one
of the courtesans of Paris,—the hero sets up .for
a man of sentiment and delicaey, yet forms a ell•
minal intimacy with thle woman, at the very
time when she is under the "protection " of, and
luXuriantly maintained by, two noblemen. .The
unfortunate woman takes a fanny to this Amerind
Duval, (ono even of her class often gets st,t4gebtrd ,

feetion,) and retreats with him, from her.wid ,, dd

" Decay's effacing lingers," gots very ill, relates
his story to a friend, recovers and the book leaves
him, in a "happy frame of mind," in thebosom of
his family. So trite it is that violent passions
soon wear themselves out.
In this story, though the plot is extravagant and
melo-drumatir, the author exhibits wonderful
power and groat skill. The interest never Raga,
and the narrative runs on so rapidly as to satisfy the
most breathless interest. But the morale of
the whole book is wrong. It is the beatifies
tion of Vise. Nothing less. If not actually sen
sual, it is worse—it is sensuous. There is no
grossness of language, indeed, but a luxurious,
enervating, mind-influencing feeling runs thrmiet
the whole.
It may be told that the story is really founded
on facts, and that its heroine is a picture front
life. We know it, for wo pertootly well remember
what a sensation was created In Paris, a faw years
ago, at the sale of the magnificent furniture,
jewels, pictures, library, wardrobe, and articles
of vertu, belonging to a celebrated forme named
Mario Duplessis. But the truth of the story does
not mitigate the evil of its tendency. The worst
of all is—it is so well written that it is difficult,
hating once taken it up, to lay it down until it
ho read through, from title-page to colophon.
Would that it were as difficult to take It up!
Despite of our condemnation—it may ha partly
on account of It—" The Camolia Lady" will find
multitudes of readers. Not many will read it
openly, perhaps, but a orowd will read and re
read it in private. An adventitious interest is at
tached to the story, in consequence of the charm
ing manner in which " Camillo" has . been
played at various theatres, and is even now repro
sentc.d at tho,Arch-street Theatre, by Mrs. Bow
ers.
The book is so well translated, handsomely
printed, and neatly bound, that it is a pity it can
not be recommended on its own account. It Is dan
gerous and clever.

.Proteesor Coppeo, of the University of Pennql
vauin, has published a small volume, "Elements
of Logic. designed na a Manual of Instruction!'
lie perceived the went of such n work, when ha
was a teacher of Logic, in the Military Aeaderey
at West Point, and he has applied himself to sim
ply it. Ho has taken Archbishop Whateley's
text-book as the basis of his own, and has greatly
simplified it, the object being to make it tin ele
mentary treaties, by which the science of logic
could be taught. The chapter which gives the
History of Logic , —including the System of Aris
totle, the login of Christianity, the inductive
science of Bacon, (whom he erroneously calls Lord
Bacon,) and the present system, is extremely lecid
and sufficiently full. E. H. Butler, Phila.
Miss A. E. Dupuy, author of several novels, has
just published " the Planter's Daughter: a tale of
Louisiana." Its name denotes its Southern lo
cality. Scenery is brightly sketched and ohm
tars well drawn in this story, but a main incident
--agentleman's robbing the buried dead of jewels
—is toe outré for credence. It makes a blot tpou
what would otherwise he a clever romance.

even contains a Dictionary of Quotations (from the
Latin, French, Italian and Spanish,) a chronologi

:=, THE PULPIT.
, THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
poiix:toa for The Prep.
Vie following is a brief synopsis of a discourse
prom:lied in St. John's (Catholic) Church, on Sun
da imorning, the 4th instant, by the Reverend
'RP Rini.
out any previous knowledge of the fact, the
ion happened to be ere of solemn high mass—
Jelailrolemn festival of the Announcement of the
rmmaoulato Conoeptiose. After a protracted sme
:Cepslon of the most Imposing ceremonies, the rev
creed Nether approached the desk glitteringly
attired in his priestly robes, and after reading eeve
-1 et nf t tices to the congregation, announced the por
tion of God's word which ho was about to consider
fit the Instruction of the people, to be a part of the
tl rit chapter of St. Luke Gospel.
The passage then read was as follows :
jr, behold, frora henceforth all generation?
sliareall me blessed !" which passage constituted
the latter clause' of the forty-eighth verse of said
chapter
ittiout any circumlocution, the reverend ex
pounder of divine truth at once proceeded to the
grand fulfilment of this important prophecy of the
holy virgin.
This prophecy had been uttered by a poor, ob
i source maiden, nineteen hundred years ego. It
web at bold and magnificent prophecy, and one
that had met a glorious fulfilment in the Catholic
Church. Yes, this prophecy had been uttered
nineteen Centuries ago, by an humble maiden
witheit friends or influence, ,4 fienreforth all gene
iratioris shall call me blessed !" and it was
their glorious privilege, as the universal church,
nineteen hundred yours afterward, to confess the
perfect fulfilment of this propheoy, for all mon
did call this maiden blessed. But, ho would ask,
why the, above all others of the house of Israel,
, was to be called blessed? She had been among
the Anent and humblest of her country—the
spume of an humble mechanic—and then, why
tole distinction? . It wan because the spirit of Rod
bad pteinpted this prophecy within her, and had
sent opt the decree that she was to become the
future mother of the Messiah—the future founder of
the church—the true religion of God, and the re
ligion that all nations of the earth were solemnly
bound to embrace. Simple gratitude alone would
require Ibis, us halted come to redeem us.
But elf our gratitude and admiration wore thus
demanded for the Saviour, how must we feel to
ward the mother. of fetus? In the reverend fa
ther's opinion, the nation or the people calling it
self Obviation, and yet refusing to call the mother
of Jesus blessed, was a heartless,
ungrateful no
tion, and could not claim for itself the common feel
ings ofjeumanity ; and yet he would ask, with em
tl_htSLO WHERE wee the generation calling itself
Christian, outetde of the Catholic Church, that
Meall her blessed in a practical way? No, no
That generation could not be found outside of the
Catholic Church a It was too true to admit of
contradiction, that the opponents to the C itholie—
the miry true Church—lead cast another foul blot
upon a second Eden, by robbing the mother of
awl of bar duo honors.
res,, yes, it was a shame and a disgrace that
practical hotrod and opposition to the maid hail
been the distinguishing feature of the opponents
to the Catholic church. But we must remember
that Mary was the mother of the God of Truth,
toad ham became the avowed enemy of all who
oppe.sedt this prophotio demand to call her blessod.
A bitter sententio was reserved in heaven to fall
upon such outrageous heresy.'
That would be an awful sentence that would
C0111(1 down from 'maven upon those who, when the
record should bo summoned from tho past, "enmity
belweon me and the woman," bail been fmnd de•
linqueat to this required devotion to the woman
who had crushed the serpent's heed. Tho reverend
Either felt a conscious pleasure in despising the
opponents to the Catholic church, because they
tfonnsnl the mother of the Cross! Tho glories of
the Immaculate Conception had early been propa
ialed et—lipbesus, I think, was the lot anon de
signated.
Allitho great St. Barnard had revealed this holy
•votion about twelve hundred years ago Ho knew
• thia„davetion had t ,beon mode the "abject of
b , :calamity by their onpouonla, but ho / would re
mind theta that sarcasm, abuse, and ridicule
were no argument with honest men.
A minute description of this paritculai devotion
was here given, the main features of which were,
that it eonsisiod of a formula of prayer. consist
ing of passagesof the lioly Scriptures ; this devo
tion was divided into three parts, which three were
again each subdivided into five parts; and each of
which live contained throe mere sub-divisions The
peculiar characteristics of those several divisions
were illso given.
At the conolusion of this dosoription, he would
ask, in vindioation of this form, whether it was
wrong to recite the Lord's Prayer? Ico !no ono
denied the propriety of this, for it had been given
for the use of man ; and so too had this Immaculate
Conception devotion been composed for the use of
the church. Who would quostion the propriety of
this sublime and beautiful devotion? As well
might we call it wrong to recite the Angell c
and yet this salutation had been addressed
to the sumo individual they were now about to
honor—the blessed mother of Joeus, and that, too.
by the sanction of God.
:The beautiful fifteen mysteries were next at.
ldded to as compendium of the whole history of the
Bible and of the lifo of the Saviour—his conception,
birth, baptism, miracles, sufferings, orueillxion,
death, resurrection, and ascension.
This composition was said to be very grand. and
suitable for the people. It was alike suited to the
wants of the rich and the poor, the high and the low
The masses bad always been the friends of God,
because it was hero made evident that their souls
wore as precious as ours. The rosary prayers wore
also a complete composition of the whole religion of
man, and that this devotion had always boon
pleasing to God and pleasing to heavon'had been
Awn again and again by attesting miracles. But
it was sufficient to say that there was no clime or
nation under heaven from which this beautiful
prayer was not at that moment ascending to God
It was resounding from every Christian temple in
the universe; it was this day rising like incense
from the highest hill of the Eternal City; all men
united in its holy strain from the King to the beg
gar—all united in singingglory to God, and should
they alone refuse to unite with the Christian
church in this delightful service? " But"—the
question might be asked—" what means all this su
perstitious mummery"" Yet, such a slur might
have been east upon the Saviour with equal pro
priety when his lips leered with inaudible words
upon the cross, and they mit justly employ the
same answer then given: " Father, forgive them,
for they know nor what they do, "with the aim.
ple alteration of the word " do," making it road :
'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they
say.”
Now approaching the solemn ceremonies which
he had been discussing, ho reminded them of what
Jesus said to his mother before expiring upon the
tree: "Woman, behold thy son!' and then turn
ing to the disciples, lie added, "Behold thy
mother !" These undying words had been uttered
as the shepherd was about to be smitten, and the
sheep to be scattered, and how could language more
forcibly express the friendly relations which should
forever exist between men and the mother of his
Saviour! If we honored her, we had the right to
expect her love in return; indeed, by this solemn
injunction of her son, she was bound to love us,
and mere especially so on the day on which they
were then assembled. Wo should all, then, bless
her as the mother of Jesus, and adopt her as our
own, and we had hie word for it that she would be
to us a good mother in the hour of our death, and
he concluded by asking how a child of Josus could
be ashamed of the mother of Jesus.
When the sermon was concluded, the solemn
ceremonies of the festival wore commenced. They
occupied considerable time in their performance;
but as they wore conducted in a tongue unintelli:
giblo to us, wo con say nothing further to either
enlighten or edify the reader. The immense edi
fice was densely crowded on the occasion, even the
aisles being thronged with humble suppliants. The
pointed gothic arches resounded with the solemn
music of a welbtrained choir, and the proceedings,
taken as a whole, were doubtless eminently appro
priate to the time and place.
Tho New York Evening Post of the 7th re
lates the following singular circumstance • "Un
tho 21 of October we published the death of a mar
ried lady of this city, which occurred suddenly on
Thursday the let inst. Tho friends of the family
assembled on Saturday, the 3d, to attend the fune
ral; but it having been discovered early on that
day that the body still preserved its natural ap
pearance, it was decided to perform the services in
the house, deferring the burial for the present.
The body was accordingly removed from the coffin
to the bed, and now continues in a state of perfect
preservation and natural condition, on this the

ART CRlTlolol.—Ambroso Philips, the poet,
was very solemn and pompous in etinversation.
At a coffee-house he was discoursing upon pictures,
and pitying the painters who, in their historical
pieces, always draw the samo sky. "They should
travel," said ho, "and then they would see that
there is a different sky in every country, in Eng
land, Franco, Holland, Italy, and so forth.
"Your remark is just," said a brave gentleman
who sat just by, have been a traveller myself,
and oan testify that What you observe is true ; but
the greatest variety of skies that I over found was
in Poland." "In Poland, sir?" "Yes, in Poland ;
for there is Eablesky, and Barbionsky, and Jahlon
sky, and Podebrasky, and many more skies, sir."

LOSS OF THE JEROME KNIGHT
Eleven Person■ Five Days on the Wreck—An
other Thrilling story of Suffering at Sea.
[From the New York Dolly Times of the 9th ]
The Jerome Knight, Captain !Bram Perkins, was
wrecked on the 23st alt , off the coast of North Caroline.
The vessel belongs to Messrs Whiton, Brown, & Wheel
'a right, in Boston, and had left Wilmington, N. C ,
Incited with lumber for Marseilles and a market She
was a staunch built vessel, only a year and s half old,
and already rode out two or three violent gales. There
were eleven persons on the vessel when she was wrecked
—the captain, mate, steward, five seamen, and the cap
tain's wife and two children. one of them an infant but
nine weeks old. Five days after the barque was a reeked,
the parties were picked off by the brig &Beretta, from
Rio Janeiro bound to New York. and brought safely to
this city. Captain Perkins hoe gone on to Boston to
report to the owners of the lost barque, and the crew.
immediately upon their arrival here, hurried to their
homes, the most of them living in Boston and its vi
cinity. The wife of Captain Perkins still remains
in the city with her two children One of oar report
eta called upon her yesterday, and received the follow
ing detailed statement of the particulars attending
the loan of the barque and the trying experiences of
hense;f, her two children, her husband, and the crew of
the vessel:
On the afternoon of the Met of September last, the
Jerome Knight left Wilmington, N. C., but as the
wind was blowing very fresh from the northeast, it was
deemed inexpedient to go outside the bar that night.
Next morning at daylight nhe got under way, and pro
ceeded on her voyage, with a fresh breeze blowing from
the northeast lowan! evening the gale increased in
violence, and the topsails were dome reefed, the vessel
heading to the southeast. The wind increased during
the night almost to a hurricane, and there was an ugly
cross sea. The vessel laboring heavily, wan put under
short sail, and all hands were occupied throughout the
night on deck. Mrs. Perkins lay sea-sick in her berth,
thbugh it was her tenth voyage to sea with her hus
band, and she seldom was sick.
The rst intimation she had that the vessel was in
danger' was shortly after daylight, when she heard the
order event° heave the deck-load overboard. Soon after
a heavy sea boarded the barque, filling the cabin, car
rying the deck-lead overboard, starting the stanchions
and causing the vessel to leak badly. Seizing her in
tent, which was sleeping beside her In one arm, and her
buy, eight 3 ears of age, who occupied an upper berth, in
her other aria, Mrs. Perkins sprang out, and instantly
(send herself up to the waist In water. Everything had
been washed clean out of the cabin, including all their
chests and trunks, containing her own, her husband's,
the children's clothing, and every other movable ent
ail,. Reaching the companion-way, she called out to her
hr eband, '•Are Me going down '" The seamen were
cutting away the foremast, which in a moment more
want over the side with all the sails and spars attached
to it Vila was done to ease the vessel, and prevent her
tram capsizing. The next order was to secure the iuualt
bar.. e , Wtala woo ticrani over en f....p--ef the house, bet
before it could be done a Bea stove and swept it over
board
The pumps were manned and efforts made to free the
easel, but the vile nearly full of water. All efforts to
got her before the wind were unavailing, as she was too
much water-logged to obey her helm, and so lay help
less in the trough of the sea, the swell combing and
breaking over her. Mrs. Perkins and children were
placed on top of the house, and lashed firmly to keep
them from being swept away by the sea. The crew
also lashed themselves in the main rigging. Signals of
distress were hoisted to attract the notice of any vessels
that might be passing. but all further attempts to get
the vessel under control and bead her to the westward
were abandoned. Their only hope was to be fallen in
with and rescued by come friendly sail.
The gale continued unabated throughout the thy.
Our lady sailor found it ss much an she could do to pro
test her infant from being smothered by the spray Iler
husband held the little boy. The children had nothing
on them but their night garments. They were hungry,
but as It was impossible for either parent to leave and
procure food, they passed the day without it, and with
out water.
As night approached it was necessary to display two
lights, one below the other, as a signal of distress. Oise
of the men being made fast to the end of a piece of
running rigging, essayed to find the lamps in the cabin.
and, if possible, some provisions also One lamp was
found in order, but the other was without oil, and the
oll•can was underwater. In this dilemma, a bottle of
castor oil was fortunately found, with which the lamp
WWI tilled, but then there were no matches to light theta
with. Ono of the crew worked a couple of hears trying
to ignite two sticks by rubbing them together, but when
the effort proved abortive, another search discovered
some matches, and the lamps were both lighted and
placed in the riggi❑g Two hams and four cans of pre
served moats w ere all the food that could be found
The gale continued through the night, and such was
the violence of the sea, they were in constant fear that
the vessel would go to pieces. It was a dismal night.
The children utterly exhausted, slept it out, however
In his dreams the boy cried for water, but there moo no
fresh water to be had
Toward daylight of the 25th the gale moderated. Ma
hope once more revived that a sail would appear. They
were only about seventy five miles (tom land, and in
the direct track of vessels bound northward. They
watched with longing eyes, one man being stationed to
the main top gallant crosstreas all day, but no sail ap
peared, and night again closed around them They
passed,it as they did the previous one, only with less in
convenieigeo from the roughness of the sea. The little
boy cried constantly for water. The mother thought
he would perish from thirst In the agony of the child
both mother and father forgot their own sorrows The
infant had a better time of it He was 'diving in
clover " His supply did not fail, and in their misery
the little fellow's smile was all the comfort left, except
hope. Portunately it was not cold; the water of the Gulf
was tepid, though while the wind struck them they
were somewhat chilly.
Day dawned once more upon them. (the 2tth.) and
every eye was strained to catch a glimpse of some sail.
They were doomed, however, to pass the whole day
without seeing one. Heaven sent them one relief.
however,ln a generous shower of rain. They caught a
barrel water from it, which fully satisfied their thirst.
They passed the night of the 2t3th, and the day and
night of the 27th, with no material variation of their
experience. On the morning of the fifth day they saw
a. sail to leeward, at a long distance, but it passed on
without observing them. In the afternoon another sail
was discovered to windward. It bore down to them,
and proved to be the brig Altevella, from Rio Janeiro,
bound to New York, which took the wrecked company
on board, treated them in the most hospitable manner,
and landed them safely in New York on the 3d inst.
They were all entirely destitute, and most of them
had sore limbs and boils, caused by the hardships to
which they had been exposed, but all very thankful to
the merciful Providence which had saved them, They
all express great gratitude to the captain, officers, and
crew of the Altevella for the kind attention shown them
on board of that vessel.
The Jerome Knight SI EVA valued at ill,OOO and was
fully insured In Boston Captain Perkins is an old, and
has been a successful sea captain, never having been
wrecked before except in one case, when ho put into
Bermuda in distress.
