FRANCIS PAHK.MAN. The fol lowing letter, communicated for the Transcript of this day, was addressed hy Professor Webster to the Rev. Dr. Park man, and a copv retained in the possession ol the lormer, which he confided to a friend' with permission to make such disposition of it as he might see fit, alter his own de cease. We mention this in order that the gentleman, to whom the letter was addres sed, may not be suspected of having disre garded the request which it contains. (Copy.) Boston, Aug. 5, 1850. Rev. Dr. Parkman. Dear Sir: lean not leave this world in the peace of mind for which I pray, without addressing you as the head of that family which 1 have so deeply injured and afflicted, to make known to you and them the bitter anguish of soul, the sincere contrition and penitence I have felt at having been the cause of the allliction under which you and they have been call ed to mourn. I can offer no excuse for my wicked and fatal ebullition of passion but what you already know, nor would I at tempt to palliate it. I had never, until the two. or three last intei views with your brother, felt towards him anything but gratitude for his many acts of kindness and friendship. That I sh uld have allowed the feelings excited on those occasions to have overpowered nie so as to involve the life of your brother, and and my own temporal and eternal welfare, I can, even now, hardly realize. I may not receive' from you forgiveness in this world, yet I cannot but hope and be lieve you will think of me wilh compas sion, and remember me in your prayers to Him who will not turn away from the humble and repentant. Had I many iives, with what joy I would lay them all down, could I, in the least, atone for the injury I have done, or alleviate the affliction I have caused ; but I can now only pray for for- veness tor mvself and for every consola tion and blessing upon every member of our family. Jn justice to those dearest to mp, I beg to assure you, and I entreat you to believe me, no oneol my family had the slightest doubt I my entire innocence up to the moment hen the contrary was communicated to them by Dr. Putnam. That they have your sincere pity and sympathy I feel as sured. . There is no lamily towards every mem ber of which I have always felt a greater egree of respect and regard than that ol which you are now the head. From more han one I have received repeated acts ot friendship and kindness, for which I, have ev-r been and am most truly grateful. towards yourself in particular have not onJy my own feelings been those of the most sincere regard regard and gratitude, hut every individual ol my family has felt towards you that you were their pastor and menu. Ullen has my wife recalled the interest you took in her from her first be coming your parishioner, and often has she spoken, with feelings of deep gratitude, of me innuence ol your public ministrations, and of your private instructions end con versations, and ol your direction of her in quiries and reading in what related to her religious views. These she has often ro called and referred to as having firmly es tablished the religious faith and trust which are now such sourceg of consolation and support to her and our children, ss well as to myself. (Nothing that has occurred has weakened these feelings, and although those I leave behind me, may not meet yu without the f keenest anguish, I trust you will exonerate thrm from any participation in, or know ledge ol the father's sin, up to the moment I have mentioned, and may you lemember them in your prayers to the Father of the tatberlest and the widow's bod. I beg you, my dear sir, to consider this strictly a nrivate letter and by no means to give it publicity ; at the same time I will rpquest you to make known to the tmme- diate members of your family the state of my feelings and my contrition. That every consolation and blessing may be vouchsafed to yourself and to every member of your family, is the heartfelt prayer of Yours, most resp'y, (Signed) J. W. YYL.lfbi,K. advice gratis. We very often read and see advice eiven to wipes as to their demeanor towards their husbands, but it is seldom that the lords of creation are willing to write or publish ad- vice to themselves, as to the treatment oM",PB were 'ost, o dwelling nouses, me their wives. The fo lowin? from the Bo ton Times, is very apropos and sensible. Hints to Husbands. By a woman. Do not jest with your wife upon a subject of which there is danger of wounding her feelings. Remember that she treasures pv ery word you utter, though you may never think of it again. ' Do not speak of some virtue in another man's wife to remind your own of a fault. Do not reproach .your wife with a per sonal defect, for if she has sensibility, you inflict a wound difficult to heal. Do not treat your wile with inattention in company. It touches her Dride. and she will not respect you more, or love you a Uetter. lor it. Do not entertain vour wife with tiraisinor the beauty and accomplishments of other woman. Do not, too often, invite vour friends to ride, and leave your wife at home. She might suspect that you esteemed others more comnanionnhle than herself. If vou would have a rjleasant home and' cheerful wife, pass your evenings under vour own roof. Do not be stern and silent in your own house, and remarkable for vour sociabiliiv elsewhere. Remember that vour wife has as much need for recreation as vnurself. and devote a portion at least, of your leisure hours to such society and amusements as she may loin. Hv so doing, you will secure her smiles, and increase her affection. Do not, by being too exact in pecuniary mattprs, make your wife feel hef depend dence upon vour bounty. It tends to les sen her dignity of character, and does not increasp her esteem for you. II she is a sensible woman, she should be acquainted with vour business and know income that she may regulate her household expenses accordingly. Let it be remembered that pecuniary affairs cause more ri tticu tv in families than anv othpr one cause. Your wife has anenual risht with voursplf to vou all possess in Ihe worn! ; therefore she should be made aconainted. as nearly as Dossible. with that which is of so great importance to both. Do not withhold this knowlpdge in order to cover your own extravagance, Woman has a keen nercpnt on he sure she will discover your selfishness and though no word is spoken, from that moment her resnect is lessened, her rnnfidpnre diminish- ad, her pride wounded, and a thousand, perhaps ur.iust suspicions created. From that moment is your domestic comfort on the wane. THE WIFE'S COMMANDMENTS A late Cincinnati paper gives the following ns a correct version, for the use of all doubt ing hiifbands. Listen : 1. Thou shalt have no other wife but me. 2. Thou shalt not take into thy house any beautiful, brazen image of a servant girl, to bow down lo her, to serve her, for I am a jealous wife, visiting, &c. 3. Thou shalt not lake the name of thy wife in vain. 4. Remember thy wife to keep her re spectable. 5. Honor thy wife's father and mother. 6. Thou shalt not fret. 7.

The water was 21 feet above its common level ' ne destruction to life and property was truly appalling. The greatest damage was pone at the INescopeck forge; there 20 lives smith-shop, carpenter shop, coal house (nearly full of charcoal,) were swept away. The forge is left standing, but it and the dams and races, are so much injured as not to be worth repairing. The loss is estima ted at not lessdhan 8,000. The property belonged to S. F. Headly. Esq.. of this place, and Mr. George VVestler. of Nesco- peck forge. Ihe persons drowned were workmen and their families.

When that boat with five persons left the house, we covered our eyes With painful anxiety ; we could scarcely hope that so frail a bark could survive that raging flood ; but it had stout arms and hearts to man it, and when they landed safely in the eddy below, we breathed for the first freely again. Mr. George Westler and his family were rescued in the same way, from their house at Nescopec forge, by Mr. Peter Shiner; and those who witnessed his exertions on that occasion, are loud in their praise. He had his boat taken from the river over the hill and landed at the creek some 30 rods directly above the house in which the workmen and their families bad collected, (then 23 in number) and then pushed out upon the swiftest part of the flood where it was thrown into angry waves by the dam and tried to reach the sufferers) but in vain. The wild waters were too strong for any human arm, and as he was carried like a bubble past, all hope must have left them.

But three persons were saved, viz: Anthony Reichart, (pick ed about the time- he was being carried into the river,) Samuel Smith rescued by John I Williams and Thomas Stackiioise, who had also brought a boat near to Lvans' mill, to aid the sufferers.

It was confidently expected yesterday morning that the Atlantio would arrive in the course of the day, and crowds collected on all points where a look out down the Bay could be had, eager lo catch the first plimpse of her hull in the dis tance. The sky was very thick towards Sandy Honk, with a strong wind from the southeast, which led many to fear that the steamer would be detained till night. Nev ertheless, large number lingpred all forenoon around the Canal st. pier, where a sort of t.ri timphal a i cade, hung wilh flags, had been erected. The writer left the City at 11 o'clock, ki the Siaten Island boat. The sky by this time was much clearer, though the green shores of the Bay were still somewhat obscured. On landing at Quarantine we proceeded at once to ihe office of Dr. A. Sidney Doane, Health Officer of the Port, where we found Mr. Barnum and Mr. Theodore Eisfeldt, who had been the whole of the previous night in wailing for the Atlantic's arrival. Still there was no sign of her coming. Confident, how ever, that Capt. West would succeed in get ting her 'through by daylight,' wr resigned ourselves to another hour or two of expecta tion. Toward one o'clock, two guns were heard in the direction of Sandy Hook, and imme diately after Ihe signel-flag of a steamer was run up at the Telegraph station below Clifton. In a few minutes the Atlantic hove in aiuht, her giant bulk looming through the light mist which still lay on the outer bay. There was no Swedish flag at the Quarantine, but Dr. Doane promptly ordered the German Re publican tri-color lo be run up at the stafl", as Its nearest of kin, and conseqnenily a compli ment to the distinguished songstress. On pas sing the Narrows, the Atlantio fired a second salute, and stopping her paddles, came slowly on wilh the tide. Through the courtesy of Dr. Doane, we took a seat in his boat, and were carried out over the fresh, dancing swell, as fast as four pairs of stout arms could urge us. The immense aleamer rose above us like a mountain, as we ran under her quar ter, and it was something of an undertaking to climb the rope hand-ladder to her deck.. The passengers were all above, grouped nbout the bulwarks, or looking after their ef fects amid a wilderness of baggage. On the top of a light deck-house, erected over the forward companion-way, sat the subject ot the day's excitempnl the veritable Jenny Lind as fresh and rosy as if the sea had spared her its usual discomforts, and enjoying the novel interest of everything she saw, with an apparent unconsciousness of the observation she excited. At her side stood Dir. Jules Benedict, the distinguished composer, and and Signor Giovanni Belleti, the celebrated basso, her artistic companions. Mr. Barnum, who by this lime climbed on board, with a choice bouquet carefully stuck in the bosom of his white vest, was taken forward and pre sented by Cnpt. West. But Mr. Collins had for once stolen a maich on him, having got on board in advance, and presented Miss Lind a boiiquet about three times the size of Barnum's. The sonctress received the latter with great cordiality ; her manners are very frank and there is an expression of habitual good' humor in her clear bine eye which would win her Ihe heart of a crowd by a single glance, She is about IWentv-nine vears of age, and rather more tobnsl in face and person than her nnrtraits would indicate. Her forehead is finely formed, shaded by waves of pale brown hair ; her eyes, a we have said, light, blue and joyous her nose and mouth though moulded on the large Swedish type, convey on impression of benevolence and sound goodness of heaM, w hich is thoroughly In keeping with the many stories we have I jjjj a serious loss of life seemed almost lnevi heard of her charitable doings. Millie. Lind lablo. The spectacle was most alarming ; was dressed with great taste and simplicity. She wore a visile of rich black cashmere over dress of silver-gray silk, wilh a pale-blue silk hat, and black Veil. At her feet lay a silky lapdog wilh ears almost half the length of its body ; it was of a rare breed which are worth their weight in gold, and was a present from Queen Victoria, Mdlle. Lind wasaCoom pauied by her cousin, Mdlle, Ahmnn-en. The English mi:o-oproiio, Misa Andrews, bus uot yel arrived. Mr. Benedict and Signor Belleti are both men of between thirty and ihirlyfive year old. The former, who is a German by bitlh, has a vigorous face, wilh that expansive breadth of forehead which always marks a composer ; and wears a thick blown mou lache, as ia becoming a musician, Signer Belli!

"Here is itia tfev? World at last the grand New World' first seen by my fellow-country. man, Columbus!" Notwithstanding the wind blew a small gale, Mdlle. Lind remained on the wheel-house, observing everything with great curiosity and delight, till the ehip was made fast at the pier. As we passed Castle Garden, a Swedish vessel the Maria, which arrived yesterday from Gefle lay in the stream, with the national flag at the gaff. The Nightingale recognized it at once, and waved her handkerchief to ihe sailors on board. She inquired of Dr. Doane the name of the vessel and the condition of the crew with much apparent interest. As we neared Canal atreet pier, the inter est was increased by the sppctacle of some thirty or forty thousand persons congregated on all the adjacent piers and shipping, as well as all the roofs and windows fronting the wa ter. The spars and rigging of vessels the bulkheads along the wharves, and every other spot commanding a sight, were crowded, while every fender at the Hoboken street Ferry House was topped with a piece ot liv ing statuary. In addition to the usual flags at the pier, a splendid Swedish banner was floating in the air. From all quarters, crowds of persons could be seen hurrying down to wards the Atlantic's dock. The multitude increased so rapidly that we began . to fear there would be difficulty in making a way through it. The distinguished visitors all expressed their astonishment at seeing so many well-dressed people in the crowd. Mdlle. Lind, especially, was very much struck with the air of respectability which marked the thousands assembled. Turning toMr. Barnum, she asked, "Have you no poor people in your country 1 Every one here appears to be Well dressed." The Atlantic ran past the pier as she came up, turned and went down stieam some dis" tance, and then glided slowly into her place, some little time elapsed before she could be made fast and the gangway adjusted. The immense crowd was kept away from the im mediate neighborhood of the vessel by the gate across the pier, inside of which about fifty persons had been admitted. Mr. Bar num's carriage, with his pair of beautiful bays, was in readings at the foot of tlio gangway. J Del inside tne gale, a number ot triumphal arches of evergreens and flowers had been erected. The first arch, fronting, the water, bore the inscription : "Welcome Jenny Lind :" after which came another. with the American Eagle in the centre, and the words "Jenny Lind, welcome to Amer. i ica," in large letters around the span. The anding place, from the steamer to the gates. was overhung with stars and stripes, with the fjag 0f va,i0Us 0 her nations tastefully dispo- 8ed on either side. This beautiful display was got up under the direction of Messis Da vidson, Stewart, and Delmano, attaches of Barnum's Museum. A large number of the Museum's people were on the ground, most of them carrying boquets. We learn from those who boarded the Atlantic that the crowd on the shore was most dense and suffocating, and that five or six persons had been pushed into the dock in the struggle but were rescued without injury. Many had been in wuitlng on the ground for several hours. As soon as Capt. West had conducted Mdlle.Lind lo the gangway,lhe rush commen ced. Mdlle. Ahmonsen, with Messrsi Bene dict and Belleti, followed, and all four took ihelr seats in the carraige, Mr. Barnum mounting to Ihe drivers place. The crowd inside the gates immediately surrounded the carriage, clinging to the wheels and crowding about the windows, cheering all the while wilh an enthusiasm we never saw surpassed- The multitude outside began to press against the gates, which were unbolted in all haste to prevent being forced in. Scarcely had one gate been thrown back, however, before the torrent burst in with an energy frightful to w;lness.
