C 2; The Louisville Calamity. The funeral of the persons killed by the fallinga of the Chinch in Louisville, took Place on Monday, tlee stores being closed and the bells tolled, at the suggestiod of the Mayor:. The services took place in the First Presbyterian .Church, (Rev. Dr. Breckenridge's) which was densely crowd ed. The bodies of the dead were placed upon a platform of the tower, and the exer "cises were conducted by several clergymen. The spacious yard attached to the church also crowded. • At the opening of the e xercises the Rev. Dr. Morrison, who officiated at the ill-fated church, remarked that on the Sabbath that had proved so disastrous to life, he was re quested to Preach' but it was not geneally •known that there would be divine service, hefted the small number that were assem bled, there not being more than 85 persons in the house at any . time on Sunday. On next Sunday it was expected that the pastor recently invited would be installed" During the sermon, which had been com menced later than usual, the storm came 9p and the main door of the basement room where the meeting was being held,- was blown open. An elder of the . .church im mediately rose and closed it again. The door was forced open a second time, and again closed. A third time the door was forced open by the violence of the wind, not withstanding the elder was pressing against it at the time. -Instantly the whole house was filled with particles of sand. The speak er had his eyes filled with fine dust, as well as his audience. This caused some distur• fiance in the assembly, and most of the per sans rose to their feet, and some jumping out cf the windows near where they where sit ting. Dr. Morrison said he had not time to re cover from the effects of the gust of wind shot struck him with particular fury, before he heard a cracking sound over head, and in a moment of time after the tempest blew open the door. with such violence, the whole walls had fallen: Immediately about the pulpit in which he was standing the plas tering was not broken, and to his right sev eral old ladies escaped unhurt. He express ed himself as being greatly shocked at the suddenness of- the calamity, and when he fairly recovered from the blindness caused by the ascending dust, a most terrible sight presented itself before him. He saw two men already dead, the head of another man greatly mangled, just appearing among the rubish ; a lady clasping her child in the ag ony of death, and a yoting lady with her bo-' dy bent across one of the seats and her face most horrihlyedistorted. Prom different parts- of the building he could hear the emits of the dying and the stifled screams of the crushed. Of the injured pers.one, only one, Mrs. Marshall, has yet expired. Miss Duff is in a very precarious condition. Another Mrs. Marshall, is not expected to recover. The other injured parties are in a fair way to re cover. Capt. Greenlow, of the steamer Memphis which boat was badly damaged, thus de scribes the tornado :—He was on his boat, standing on the forecmtle, when the first blast of the hurricane struck her. Ile saw the block'of the houses of Mr. Beatty crum ble to the ground, and before he could utter a warning cry a those around, the storm was upon him. He clasped his arms around a staunchion to uphold himself, and in the same instant heard a rushing sound over his hand, and a noise that was likened to the crack of an immense wagon whip. He saw the greater part of his cabin root, and the entire railing; pass over his head, and alight upon the river; 50 to 75 yards ahead of him. A moment after, the hull received a terrible blow, and.was whisked.from its moorings overto a reef of rocks in about the space of time it required to draw a breath. Alexandtr Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton was one of the men .nbuut whom Mr. Webster loved to speak, lie entertained for his character the highest Teseect and admiration. Mr. Webster was fond of instituting historical parallels. He thought that there was a striking resern-.* blimce in the histories of the younger Pitt and Hamilton. They were both men of premature" intellectual strength. They both attained renown at very early periods of life. Pitt was made Prime Minister when he was twenty-four years old, and Hamilton had written some of his best essays on the financial condition of the country when he had not passed that age. There was al-. so a striking resemblance in their style of, composition and turn 4,rnind. They were both men of great determination and of in domitable courage. Both were conserva tive in their politics and cared little for pop ular clamor. They were both eminent Fi n¢¢nciers. Pitt, by his genius and skill, was 'the pilot' who w,eathered the storm, when Ertgland was surrounded with impending ruin ; and Hamilton was the great Ameri. can Secretary, who "smote the rock of the national resources, and abundant streams of revenue burst forth; and touched the dead corpse of the public credit, and it sprang Upon its feet." Both were the leaders and idols of their respective parties, and were consequently maligned and hated by oppo— sing factions. Hamilton was a brave and • accomplished soldier; Pitt, though he had never "led a squadron in the field," carried' England in safety and triumph through a long and bloody war. Pitt was the best parliamentary debater and orator of his time in England ; and Hamilton was equally dis tinguished among the orators and debaters of America. Pitt was the favored' minister of his sorereign.; Hamilton was the cherish friend, associate and favorite of Washington. Cincinnati Gazette. This h the Age of Inventions•" It is truly said that the Nineteenth Cen tury is an age of inventions. Every day We see chronicled some new and "valuable improvement." The last important inven tion, and which we think will work admi rably is an improvenient in thelrakes on rail read cars. It is the invention of a* gentled man named Henry Miller, or Detroit, and consists as we learn of a small iron cy fin der, of about four inches in diameter, in which Is a piston, to the rod of which is at tached levers, by which the brakes are worked. Each car is supplied with one of these cylinders about its center, which are fastened to its underside between the wheels; and mental pipes, with necessary stop-cocks run the length of each car, supplying the steam for the working of the piston, which moves the brakes. A trial was made on the Pontiac Road, at a speed of 30 miles per hour, and the train was stopped in twenty seconds, or within a distance of 550 feet. The advantage of this improvement consists in the perfect com mand that it gives the engineer of his train. There is no time but what an engineer can see danger on the track more than forty rods ahead, but while he is whistling for the brakesman to apply the brakes, the forty or fifty rods is• passed, and the obstruction is close at hand, before the speed of the train can be checked. By This invention the bra ' kers are applied with immense power at the I moment the Wenger is perceived, and with a well constructed apparatus in perfect or der, any train can be brought to a stand still in about the same time it takes to blow the whistle.—lndependent W/zig. A I►itosophical WIMIRD• As an exhibition of the right kind of peo ple for this world, we give place to the fol lowing letter of a woman to her husband in California. It is bad enough-for a woman to be left to her own resources, without be ing visited with other misfortunes in addi tion. She appears to take things easy—as she should "My Dear Husband—As it is some time since you left us for California, I suppose you would be glad to here how we are get ting along in your abserice. lam happy to say that we are all enjoying very good health on the whole. Just at present two of the boys have gcit the small-pox, Aman da Jane has got the typhus fever, Betsy is down with the measles, Samuel got hooked by a cow the other day, and little Peter has just chopped off seven of his fingers with the hatchet. It's a mercy he didn't chop them all off. With these trifling exceptions, we are all well and getting along nicely.— You needn't be at all anxious about us. 'I almost forgot to say, that Sarah Matilda eloped hist week with' a tin-pedler. Poor girl ! she's been waiting for the last ten years for a chance, and Um glad she's mar ried at last. She needn't have taken the trouble to elope, though, for I am sure I was glad enough to have her go. She was a great eater, and I find the baked beans don't go off near so fast as they did. The way the girl would dig into pork and beans was a caution to he rest of the family. 'The cow took it into her litad•yesterday to run away, which was very unfortunate, I'm sure, for the barn caught fire last night and was consumed. I was in hopes that the house would go too, for its very incon venient, but the wind was the wrong way, so i,t didn't receive much injury. 'Some boys went into the orchard the oth er night and stripped, all the\ fruit trees. I am very glad of it, for if they hadn't I pre sume the children would, have 'nude them selves sick by eating to Muck fruit.'--.llba ny MA RRI IE ID. On the 22d inst., by the Rev. Wm. B.
