A Story of Saftriag at Sea.
On the 25th of,i'ebivary last, the Schoo
ners S. R. Soper, CaPt, Samuel Soper, sail
ed from Provincetown, for.a cruise in the
Atlantic ocean, for Whale..Nothinis unusual
happened until about the lnet'of ;Tirly, when
one morning a school of whales was discov
ered. Three boats were
. immediately low
ered, each containing five men, and com
manded by the captain, first, and second
mate. The second mate killed the first
whale and towed him to the ship. The
other whales then started ofl, pursued by
the boats of the captain and mate. 'Phis
was in longitude about 77—in latitude about
34. They continued the pursuit, and final
ly the captain fastened to and killed a forty'
barrel sperm whale. By this time night
• began to set in, and no vessel was to be seen
from the boats in any direction. This was
rather startling, as they 'had no provisions
or water on board, but upon consolation they
•concluded to stick by the whale until morn
ing, in the hope that with returning day
light they should be able to find their vessel.
When morning broke, the horizon was anx
iously scanned, but no vessel was to be seen.
All that day was spent in cruising round
after her, and at night another consultation
was held. They had •compasses, but no
;time, and the captain ordered that during
'the night they should each go in a certain
'direction, and meet in the morning. The
mate, Mr. Samuel Genn, of Provincetowti, '
states that he followed these directions care
fully, but when the morning daWned, the
captain's boat was not to be found. He
spent a portion of the next day in searching
for the captain, but finding his efforts vain,
and that his crew were beginning to sufli.r
dreadfully for food and water, they being in
an open whaleboat. without protection from
the fierce heal of the sun, he concluded that
it was best for him to shape his course for
the nearest land, which he did by steering
aN.N. W. course. They 'had a sail, but
it was not of much use. Their suflerings
front this time cannot be described. For
once they saw a vessel. She was at sonic
distance, and the sea was very rough, so
that, the mate deemed it impossible with
safety to steer for her ; and as thoSe on board
did not see the boat, they witnessed her dis
appearance with the feeling that their last
hope was leaving them.
It now began to blow severely, and the •
mate was obliged to rig a "drug" with his
oars and whaling lines, with which he teas
enabled to lie to without danger. When
the gale ceased, he again put sail on the
boat, but the crew were almost at the last
gasp of suffi , ring, their lips were black, and
death seemed to stare them in the face.—
For the last twenty four hours, so great were
the pangs of thirst that they began to drink
salt water, which usually brines on delirium
and death in a short time. At the end of
the sixth day they made Cope Fear, and
went ashore, reaching 13eaufort, N. C. Nit..
Germ and one of the crew, Cornelius Prince,
of Boston, worked their passage in a vessel
to New York, and reached this city on Sun
day last, and are now nt Provincetown.
What has been the fate of the captain
and the five men in boat is unknown.—
They may have discovered the vessel, or
they may hove reached the shore. If they
did not, they have probably all perished.—
There was a short rain one day while they
were on board the boat, but they had no
means to catch it. The second mate and
five men are on beard the vessel, and she is,
therefore, probably safe, and will arrive at
some Atlantic, port in a few dot's.
The face of the mate still bears the im
press of the terrible sufferings he has un
dergone, in parched and blackened lips and
sunken.and death•likc features.—B. Tree.
• Escape of a Convict.
On Saturday last we visited Sing, Sing,
where we learned that a convict escaped from
the State Prison the day previous, in n very
ingenious and skilful manner. James Dunn
the-convict in question, although but twenty
years old, had served one term in the prison
and had been but a few months returned on
another sentence, which was for his life.—
Ile worked in a weaver shop, and managed
to procure strips of india-rubber cloth, with
which he mode a tube, some six feet long,
and water-tight. To the end of this he at
tached a bag of the same material, and sha
ped like a duck. During the' forenoon of
Friday, he left his shop and managed to
elude all the vigilant keepers until he reach
ed the river, where he threw off and secre
ted all his clothing; and, with his India Rub
'ber life-preserver, plunged into the water,
:Sinking to the bottom, he kept one end of
the tube in his mouth, while the bag floated
upon the surface, through which the air pas
sed to supply respiration. In this manner
he went some distance from the shore, and
'drifting with the tide, he passed the guards
and keepers and all the men employed along
-the Prison docks, the Railroad, Robinson's
dock, the Farmers' Dock, at the lower land
ing of the village, Mansion House dock, and
up to Colyer's dock, a distance of half a
mile. At this point, some part of his pipe
gave way, and he had to rise to the surface
and swim ashore. Here lie found a num
ber of men and toys, who were astonished
to see a stranger swimming from a bay four
miles wide, at mid-da'y, and under the burn
ing sun of one of the hottesedays of the sea
son. On .gaining the shore he remarked,
with perfect composure, that he had "won
the bet." Some ono inquired where his
clothes were. Ile pointed to the upper
landing, and remarked thnt lie had “left
them up there when he went in." Ile then
started up the railroad truck, and meeting a
Mr. Fowler, lie pointed to a person still fur
ther north, and inquired of Mr. Fowler
that man had a bundle of clothing ?" He re
ceived a negative answer, when he replied
that !the had stolen his clothes while he
went in swimming," and then started off a
few hundred yards, when he left the road;
entered (len: Van Wyck's grove.—
Scion after lie was observed crossing the
aid:fields toward the Dale Cemetery,
in the same condition in which he left the
river, sirid,which he has not been seen,—
Peekskill Repub.
The Epidemic,
. .
There are few, il'any, parallels in histo
ry to the presentiiiitation.... But a week or
so ago, we were - inviilved in unpleasant con
troversies with .medicul gentlemen as to
whether the diseise, which Was taking oft
several hundreds of our citizens weekly,
was an epidemic. It was charged that we
were exciting a panic in announcing and
declaring the fact. Two weeks have scarce
ly Passed and the epidemic has become a
pestilence, one of the most destructive, ma
lignant and distressing which ever fell upon
a people.
Considering the number of persons liable
to the epidemic, (the unacclimated,) there is
nothing in history to equal the present mor
tality. Deducting our native population
and those who have had the fever and be
come acclimated, we should regard it as a
large figure to fix the unacclimated at 30,-
000 at the breaking out of the lever. Of
that number at least three thousand have al
ready been buried, and every day adds two
hundred more to the ghastly record.
Should it continue in the Caine ratio, this
frightful number will be swelled to 5000 by
the Ist of September, which is usually the
date, when the epidedic begini its ravages
in our city. For the week ending on the
7th August, its victims were one thousand.
That for the week now passing will be as
large, and thus, unless some t.uddvn and
milor:0 for change occurs, the month of
August will be held ever tnemorable in our
annals for the largest proportionate mortali
ty which has ever occurred in the history
of pestilences.
It will equal the violence of the Black
Plague of the; Fourteenth Century, and ex
ceed that of the Plague of London, in 1654.
The latter has been regarded the severest
pestilence of modern times: and yet, out of
a population of five hundred thousand, it on
ly slew sixty thousand, in one year, where
as the present epidemic is destroying at the
rate of four thousand per month, nit of a
total population of not over eighty thousand.
and of a population liable to the disease, of
•not over (10,000!
It is true that, in previous years of this
city, there have been days, which have ex
hibited a larger atonality in one day, but on
no other occasion has the aggregate weekly
mortality been as large, nor the progress of
t h e di sease SG steady, regular, and unbro
ken ! What is the worst aspect of these facts
is, that the season (or the prevalence of the
epidemic has barely commenced.
In 1547, the deaths in the beginning of
August did not average ten a day. We
have, therefore, at least three months for
the pestik3ece to run. There is no hope that
it will terminate-its career, unless with the
exhaustion of material. At the present rate,
this event woold . appear not:to be distant.—
At least fifteen thousand of the unacclimated
have already had the disease, arid are eith
er convalescent or tenants ofthe tomb. We
have heard of a great number who have re
covered. Many of the physicians declare
that they have lost none of their patients.
Indeed, it would appear that the thous
ands, who have already died could not have
had die advantage of medical attendance,
as the physician's all declare that they have
lost no cases! It is wonderful how success
ful they are, considering the vast amount of
mortality! If our estimate of the number
who have been attacked be correct, there
would remain not more than fifteen thous
and of unacclimated persons, which at the
present ratio, would bafely affard material
to last out the month of August.
Interesting Statistics.
A gentleman who keeps the run of facts,
figures and babies, has just laid before "an
enquiring world" the following statistics :
The whole number of languages spoken in
the world amount. to 3,064 ; 587 in Europe,
0:16 in Asia, 276 in Africa, and 1,264 in
America. The inhabitants of our globe
profess more than 1,000 different religions.
The number of men is about equal to the
number of women. The average of human
life is about :33 years. One quarter part
die previous to the age of 7 years ; one half
reaching 17 years of age, and those who
pass this age enjoy a felicity refused to one
half the human species. To every 1000
persons only one reaches 100 years of life,
to every one hundred only six reaches the
age of 66, and not more than one in 500 live
to 80 years of age.
There are on the earth 1.000,000;0(X) of
inhabitants, and of these :3:13,333,333 die
every year, 91,324 every day, 3,730 every
hour, 60 every minute or one every second.
These losses are about balanced by an equal
number of births. The married are longer
lived than the single, and above all, those
who observe a sober and industrious con
duct. Tall men live longer than short ones.
Women have more chances of life in their
favor previous to'being 50 years of age than
men have, but fewer afterwards. The
number of Marriages is in proportion of 175
to every 1,000 individuals. Marriages are
more frequent after the esquinoxes ; that is,
(luring the months of June and December.
Those born in the spring tire generally more
robust than others, Births and deaths are
most frequent by night than by day. The
number of men capable of working or bear
ing arms is calculated at one fourth of the
population.
Some of those statements are rather sin
gular, and yet many of them are susceptible
of an easy solution. That marriages ,take
place wore frequently in June and Decem
ber. than any other months of the year,
was just what we have always suspected
was the case. Those who marry in June,
do so because they can't help it while
those who conubialize in December; do so,
doubtless, to guard . against the chilly pil
lows whit:l distinguish the frostbitten months
of winter. The matches which coma oft
in June, re commonly Jove matches, and
are briatiyi.t about by green fields, and the
contagiuot ,
.influence of bobolinks and yellow
birds ; et de those which happen in De
cember, uro brought about, in a great de
gree, by nilxing plain mathematics with the
market value of flannel under gaiwnents.—

Discontent in Canada.
The Montreal Chronicle argus that there
can be no such thing ns a contented colony.
Self-government or indePencence is neces
sary, it holds, to give satisfaction. We
quote : •
"In this colony, a few years ago, the
French population were disatisfied. All
power belonged to England and a few pet
colonists.
.The provincial assembly was
composed principally of persons who could
only legislate upon their own grievances...—
Public improvements were lost sight of im
migration interferred with, and the public
education neglected in view of these grie
vances. All these, after much expenditure
of fustian, were ultimately summed up in
the celebrated ninety-two resolutions, an ap
peal was had to arms, and a defeat, equiva
lent, as it has temporarily turned out, to a
triumph, was the consequence. But of what
avail in the way of producing contentment
has been the result of placing the govern
ment of this country entirely in the hands
of the priesthood of Lower Canadal. As
suredly it has been of no avail whatever.—
It has only had the effect of making the pre
vious contents, the English inhabitants of
the province, noncontents. It produced the
annexation manifesto. It has led to a cry
for the Union of all the provinces. The pro
vince is ns intemperate, as unruly, as dis
satisfied as before, the only difference being
that the whole English population is arous
ed against "nos institutions node lan gee
el nos lois," and perceives in the home gov
ernment a defender of the Catholic faith in
Canada. This is to be regretted. But how
can jibe remedied ? A union ofall the pro
vinces would assuredly annihilate French
supremacy, it might not male the provinces
more British.
"Canada is becoming powerful, and will
be free. She insists upon liberty of speech
and will toss from her those little meo now
in authority, who fancy they can withhold
it from her. The Melbourne Argos writes
in the same strain for Australian Indepen
dence."
European News.
From the America's news the Eastern
question wears a more serious aspect. It
would seem that the question of pence or
war lies in the decision of the Czar, who
does ocit show much inclination to avoid the
consequences of disturbing the peace of Eu
rope. But his- answer to the proposition of
England, France, Austria and Prussia could
not he known by those powers until the 10th
or 12th inst., aud as their proposition made
it imperative that the Russian troops must
be withdrawn from the principalities. or,
otherwise, the English nod .Frenci ' fleets
would be ordered to the Bosphorus. If this
should be the case, it will requitre some
ground and lofty tumbling in the nrt of dip
lomacy to avert a- rupture. A writer from
Liverpool says ; "Until the 10th or 12th of
August, therefore, we must totally disregard
all rumors. either favorable or unfavorable.
No one but Nicholos himself can know what
his intentions are, and the multitude of state
ments telegraphed from Vienna, Paris and
elsewhere. are for the mere purpose of in
fluencing the markets. At the same time
it is right to state that the conduct of the
Russirin generals, in the Principalities would
indicate an intention to maintain permanent
possession, and nothing has transpired else
where to show that Russia intends to re
tract." Further, both Russia and Turkey
continue their warlike preparations, and it is
evident the longer the negotiations are con
tinued, the more likelihood of war.
Great sympathy is manifested in France
for the Turkish cause, and no less than fif
ty-two French field-officers were on their
way to enter tho Turkish service.
The unsettled state of European affitirs
has had a depressing effect upon the Liver
pool Cotton market, and the quotations for
middling and lower grades have been redu

VERBATIM.
Mr. EDITOR.-AS I had the pleasure of
attending a County meeting, held in this
county on Saturday last, by those who etyle
themselves friendly to the constitution, and
the present administration, I thought proper
to state to you seine of the most amusing in
cidents which took place on that occasion.
Well I can tell you, it was somewhat amus
: ing to witness their proceedings from begin
, ing to the end, they didn't quarrel or noth
ing only they did, nor they didn't neck one
another only they did. Well I can tell you,
they had a whole grist of prepared resolu
tions brought there by the sound ones,
which caused a great deal of trouble to get
thorn adopted by the meeting; however they
managed at last to get them acknowledged
by a darn'd hard scrable only they didn't.
Two of the said resolutions were not exactly
agreed to vie: the lst was to instruct the le
gislative members to go in strong for the
sale of the public weeks, which resolution
was violently opposed by a f eller who went
theie by the name of Sant 13- 4 well this
feller worked himself like.darnation, he did,
he told the good old Democrats that the reso,
lotion was nothing but a whig measure.
"God save the po n. tool of an Editor who
prepared said resolution and carried it
there in his pocket. although he told the old
Illejor, lie did not care two buttons about
having it passed," and in case of the sale of
the public works they would most assuredly
be purchased by whiff monopolists, any how.
A number of other fellers, one by the
name Jim W—, told dutch speeches in favor
of the resolution with the old tax payers.
Jim having convinced his hearers that said
works did not begin to pay expanses. and
said, let it be a Whig was - ere, that when the
wings were right, it would certainly be
Democratic to go with them, well there, I
' thought. Jim was about half right, and two
thirds of those present appeared to think
the same way, but nevertheless, they were
out-generated as usual, a few of the leading
ones; who managed to make the greatest
noise, managed to defeat the resolution. The
2nd resolution approving of the course pur
sued by our Honorable Senator during the
List session, was decided by the chairman
to haVe carried, although there was a num
ber of nays, well there was. There was a
number of other incidents of like import but
we are afraid of trespassing too much upon
your time, but we hope the next time the
animals get loose, we will be able to cage
them. Yours, &c. A \V.IIIO.
A Furlane Mark by a Misfariane..—Mr Quig
ley, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, it is said,
bought it large qumuity of tobacco last winter,
expecting to ship it to the southern market be
fore the 'season of low water anti high freights.
Unfortunately the Ohio fell before be• could get
his tobacco out of Green river, the consequence
of which is, it has advanced in . value on his hands
to the amount of f 20,000.
Libertd. —Oen John Sidney Jones, a well
known and wealthy citizen of Philadelphia was
arrested in New York, a few days since for
speaking in the public streets. His subject was
the mismanagement of Railroads. He refused
to accompany the officers, who were forced to
to bind his wrists with cord, by which they were
much lacerated in pulling him along.
