THE MEWS
DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.
The Foreign news at New York, per the
Alexander, comprises nothing more inter
eating than the following details of the loss
cf the Lord 'Villiam Bentiack, East India-
man, off Bombay. Indeed it was ono of
the most melancholy and heartrending
shipwrecks, which has ever come under our
notice.
The Lord William Bentiack, Captain
Ord, with one hnndrod and fiftv troops and
passengers on board, had beon beaten off
the mouth of the harbor for two or three
days, but was prevented entering by the vi
olence of the weather. On tho afternoon
of the 17th she was seen standing across
the opening of BacK Bay in galhnt s tyle,
and every hope was entertained, if she could
stand on five minutes longer, of her weath
ering the S. W. prong of the lighthouse.
llnhappiply an immense sea forged right
over her, and pooped her, and she struck
heavily on tho rocks at ten minutes past four
P. M. Previously, Uapt. Uayman Had lir
ed two guns from tho lighthouse to wain
her of her danger, and before a third gun
could be discharged she was on tho rocks
"Heavy squalls of wind and rain soon drove
her masts over her side, and a quarter of an
hour after the commencement of the occur
rencc, she was a complete unma'nageble
wreck. The crew and passengers were
ste.n to crowd forward to the forecastle.
Three ladies were on board, Mrs. Frazer,
Mrs. ISckford, and Miss Kooerlson, also a
maid servant, and some soldier's wives and
children. Captain B. Benbow was 111 coni'
mand of the troops, and Dr. Fraser, Mr
Masorf, (a cadet; and several other passen
gers whose names we are not able to learn,
were on board. She kept firing guns and
showing the signals of distress, but alas,
little aid could be afforded. Tho sea was
too violent for a boat io live in, and the most
dismal apprehensions were entertained.
Sho first hoisted out her gig, which rode
gallantly for a while, but was soon en
gulphed. Her launch was then got along
side, and some men were seen to enter her.
One gentlepian was observed before he de
scended the side, to elevate his hands to
heaven, as.if in prayer, ho went into her,
but in a moment she shared the fate cf the
other boats.
Having nothing to hoist her out by, the
long boat appeared to be pushed over the
side by main force. She also sunk never
to rise. The cries of the unfortunate were
distinctly! audible in the lulls of the wi.id,
and filled every spectato oil shore with hor
ror and distress. No hand could be held
out to save.
After much delay boats were brought
from the dock yard by coolies, and every
means were tried to float them and steet
them to the wreck. Captains Saunders
and Hay man of the Indian navy, were es
pecially conspicuous in their exertioiiB,
leaving no means untried; while Captains
M'Greffor. Baxter, and many others, attemp-
tf-il in vain to reach tho ill-fated craft. She
tried to fix a sope from a gun after Captain
Manbv's orinciple, but failed. Meanwhile
the superintendant of the Indian navy had
nrdered the Victoria steamer to proceed as
near as it could to the spot.bnt it.was evening
before she could get the steam EUiliciently up
to move, and even then sue coniu not ap
nrnar-li the wreck with the smallest chance

tors were assembled at the lighthouse during
the evening, and perhaps a move painful
.ntt intPHRo interest was never excited in
tho society of Bombay.

HORRID.
The town of Wallingford, was on Tues
day morning thrown into great excitement
by the commission of murder and suicide
f A young woman by the name of Jane II
Allen, had been keeping houso for Mt. Mi
lo Hopkins, of that town, for 111 ore tlun a
year past, and was being assisted by Mr,
Hopkins in procuring a bill of divorce fiom
her husband, with whom she lived but a
short time after her marriage. On Monday
last, they both came lo this city, procured
tiie bill of divorce, and returned to the house
of Mr. Hopkins, where it was supposed
they would soon be married. 1 ho next
morning, (.Tuesday) Mr. Hopkins rose ear
ly, and taking an axe, proceeded to the room
in which the young woman and her mother
were sleeping and literally cut her 111 pieces
without offering any violence to the mother,
He then retired immediately to his own
room and killed himsclr, by cutting his
throat with a razor. No motive can be as
signed for this astounding conduct of Mr.
Hopkins as it was supposed his attachment
for tho young lady was very strong. We
understand ho had exhibited no signs of
derangement, and was comfortably situ
ated 6 regal ds a fair proportion of the
world's goods, and was considered a decent
citizen.
The New Haven Herald gives some ad
ditional particulars in the following state
ment :
On returning from court on Monday eve
ning Hopkins wished her to marry him, but
her mother coming on a visit to her, and
wishing to confer with her, she declined.
1 he mother and daughter slept together, and
Hopkins in another room. In the morning
Hopkins called on Mta. Allen to get up
which alio did not do, and ho called a sec
ond time. His calls not being attended to
he became infuriated, and having procured
an axe he went into the room and struck the
woman while in bed with the head of the
axe, each blow proved fatal, but with eav
age ferocity ho turned the edge of his axe
and laterally chopped his victim limb from
limb. The desperate man then returned lo
his own room, and with n knife senered the
jugular vein, and in a short time bled to
death. The mother escaped unhurt and
gave tho alarm.
We understand that all the parties engag
in this tragedy are of the lowest older of
eocicty and very intemperate. The iininc
diate agent in this awlul catastrophe was
rum, Hopkins having purchased two quarts
on ilonday, most of which he had ronsuin
ed,
Curious Calculation. It would require
twelve stage-coaches, carrying fifteen pas
sengers each, and ono thousand two hun
dred horses to take one hundred and eigh
ty passengers two hundred and forty miles
.in twenty-four hours, at the rate of ten
miles an hour I One locomotivo steam
engine will take that number and go two
trips in the same time, consequently will
d'j tho work of two thousand four hundred
horses ! Again, it would require thirty
mail coaches (six passengers each) and
three thousand horses, to take one hun
dred passengers and mail two hundred and
lorty miles in twenty-lour hours, at the
rato of ten miles ap hour. One locomo
tive steam-engine, will take that number,
and go two trips in the same time, conse
quently will do the work of six thousand

A late number of Chambers' Edinbnrg

on tho subject ol advertising in the puunc

ideas on tho subject, aro certainly worthy
Ihe mtention ot all who are anxious lor bu
siness, and aro simply and briefly a fol
lows: "Tho first utility of frequent and
regular advertisement is this; there is at all
times a large class of persons, both in town
and country, who have no fixed places for
the purchase of certain necessary articles,
and are ready to bo swayed and drawn to
wards any particular place which is earn
estly brought under their notice. Indifferent
to all, they yield without hesitation to the
first who asks, Then in tho country, a
considerable number f persons,who wish a
supply of them, naturally open a commu
nication with that address wind), pernaps,
leads to much ulterior business. People in
the country are also liable to be favorably
impressed by the frequent sight of the name

'1 ho advertising party acquiies distinction
in their eyes, and thus they are led, in mak
ing a choice, lo prefer him. But by far the
most important effnet of advertising is one
of an indirect nature, that conveys the ira
pression that the party, pretending or not
pietenditig, quackish or not qusckish is
anxious for business. Ono who is anxious
for business, is unavoidably supposed to
be an industrious, altentive, civil person, who
keeps the best articles at the cheapest rate
does every thing in tho neatest and most
tradesman like manner, and in general uses
every expedient lo gratify and attract cus
tomers. People of course like to purchase
under iheso circumstances, and the system
of advertising assuring them that such cir
cumstances exist at this particular shop, they
select it accordingly. Sueh are the opinions
of the old tradesman alluded to, and they
are certainly sustained by fact,for wherever
an extensive or regular system of advertis
ing is practiced, and no backdrawingor un
conquerable circumstances exist, it is usu
ally seen to be attended with a considera
ble share of success. One feature in the
philosophy of the subject must be carefully
attended to. A faint and unfiequent sys
tem of advertising docs not succeed even in
proportion. '! Drink deep, or taste not the

THE ELECTION;
The Election is over and we aro heartily
glad of it. It has been a hard fought con
test, and whatever be ihe result, we, as good
democrats, must submit. In this state, suf
ficient returns liavo been received, to satis
fy us, that it lias been a close one, so much
so, that it is impossible to tell now which

be nearly correct, yet, as we before remark
