Terrillle Stain). and Disasters,
The storm of the sixth of October did'
consid rable damage in this city. It blew
many vessels from their moorings, caus
ing reat loss of property. The water
came \ over the wharves on the East River,
filling the cellars of many stores. The
largo diorama in a tent corner of Astor
Place and the Bowery, was destroyed, oc
casioning several thousand dollars loss.—
An unfinished church in the upper part
of the city was nearly demolished, the eas
tern wall being blown entirely in.
On the sea east of this,there were quite
a number of shipwrecks ; but the most
useloncholy was the loss of the British
brig St. John, from Ireland, We give a
few particulars of this fearful event:
Wreck of the British Brig St. John, and Terri-
ble Loss of Life.
The British Brig St. John, Captain Ol
iver, from Galway, Ireland, was lost on
Minot's Ledge, striking the Grampus
rocks, about a mile from shore near Co
hasset, on the morning of October 7th.—
The Captain, officers and crew, with the
exception of the first mate, took to the boat
and landed safe at the Glades. The pas
sengers who were saved, got on pieces ofj
the wreck and landed near Whitehead,
north end of Cohasset harbor. The sec
ond mate, two men, and two bogs were
lost. The balance of the crew were saved.
The captain says there were 114 pass
engers on board, and ten were only saved.
These arrived at Cohasset, viz: seven fe
males and three males: Six of them were
provided with quarters ut the house of
Captain Abraham 11. Tower, and the oth
er four at Mr. Lathrop's. All of these
came ashore on pieces of the wreck
Two of the women it is thought will not
survive—one being badly cut on the head
by a piece of the wrck. The other wo
man had a husband and three children on
board, all lost. Some fifty or sixty dead
bodies had drifted ashore and were buried.
The beach was strewed with fragments
of the wreck and dead bodies, and the
sight of the bodies, as one by one they
are dashed upon the shore by the foam
capped waves, formed a heart-rending
and most fearful picture. A large propor
tion of the bodies washed ashore were fe
males, and among them some beautiful
children, who in death, retained the sweet
innocent confiding expression which .
knocks so forcibly at the heart.
Patrick Swany, whose body was re
covered, lost eleven children, washed from
the wreck by the same wave which car
ried him into the surge. Being a good
swimmer he attempted to save his young
est child, who he held in his arms as the
timbers parted, and struck out four the
boat in which Captain Oliver and the
crew were making from„ the shore : but
no ear was open to his cries for succor,
and the strong man and his helpless child
went to join those who had gone down but
a few minutes before!
One remarkable incident I will men
tion. A fine looking, bright boy, not
more than 14 years old, sprang from the
wreck into the boiling sea, struck out
boldly and manfully in pursuit of the boat
containing the captain and crew, and af
ter swiming some time in the wake of the
boat, was picked up and saved! His two
sisters met a watery grave.
The names of the persons who perished
by this disaster we are• not able to give.—
Nearly all were foreigners. One hundred
and nine is supposed to be the number—
though it may have been much larger; as
many children was not counted in numb
ering the passengers on the ship's books.

Fashionable
Mrs. Swisshelm, of tityPittsburgh Sat
urday Visitor, one of the pleasantest and
most original writers of the age, gives the
following matter-of-fact information in one
of her admirable "letters tocountry girls:"
"There are hundreds of girls in every
large city who parade the streets in feath
ers, flowers, silks and laces, whose hands
are soft and white as uselessness can make
them, whose mothers keep boarders to get
a living for their idle daughters. These
mothers will cook, sweep, wait on tables,
carry loads of marketing, do the most me
nial drudgery, toil late and early with ve
ry little more clothing than would be al
lowed to a Southern slave, while their
hopeful daughters spend their mornings
lounging in bed, reading some silly book,
taking lessons in music and French, fix
ing finery, and the like. The evenings
are devoted to dressing, displaying their
charms and accomplishments to the best
advantage, for the wonderment and ad
miration of knights of the yard-stick and
young aspirants for professional honors—
doctors without patients, lawyers without
clients—who are as brainless and soulless
as themselves. After a while the piano
sounding simpleton captivates a tape-meas
uring, law-expounding, orpill-making sim
pleton. The two ninnies spend every
cent that can be raised by hook or crook
—get all that can be got oncredit in broad
cloth, satin, flowers, lace, carriage, atten
dance, &c.,—hang their empty pockets on:
somebody's
, chair, lay their empty heads
on somebody 4 s pillow, and commencetheir
empty life with no other prospect than liv
ing at somellirs expense—with no high
_
.er purpose than living genteelly and spi
ting the neighbors. 'lbis is a synopsis of
the , lives of thousands. , of street and ball
room belles, perhaps of some whose shin.;

how busy you country girls are apt to be

The United States Boundary Survey Is
progressing. Colonel Weller denies the
accuracy of the editorial stafement in the
New York Weekly Tribune of the 30th
June, rec6vill here by the steamer Pana
ma, and widely distrihuted. Ile was de
layed at New Orleans but four days only,
arriving there on the 26th February and
departing for Chagos in the steamer on
the 2d March, where he arrived on the!
13th of the same month and at Panaina
on the 16th. At Panama he was detain
ed for %vant of transportation, as was also
Mrs. Fremont, hu had gone out from N.l
York to join her husband in Califernia, on-
til the'47th May, no vessels of any char
actor leaving Panama for San Diego in'
the interim. Ile sailed from Panama on
the 17th May, and reached San Diego on
the Ist June, one day after the time fixed
by the treaty for the assembling
of the',
on both sides. 'l i me MeNi
can Commissioner, Gen. Garcia Conde,
did not - arrive until the 3d July. The Joint
Commission of the two Goveroments Was
organized on the 6th July, immediately
ter the celebration of the 4th had been
fairly got through with. On the 12th, the
Astrolemmical and Surveying parties of the
United States Commissiou were placed in
the field 13 miles south of San Diego, :
where they have since been, up to the ar
rival of the Panama, actively engaged.—
A few days subsequently to the 12th July,
the Mexican Surveyor and corps also took
the field.
The Astronomical party of the Ameri
can Commission, at the head of which
is
Colonel Emory, are engaged in determin- I
ing the latitude and longitude of the initial.
point on the Pacific—a series of observa-j
tions, I understand being necessary to de
termitic that. The Surveyin g party, at
the head of which is Andrew 11. G ray,esq.,
has also been actively engaged in survey-I
ing the port of San Diego, with a view to i
determine its southernmost point. Col.,
Weller has given orders that on the 6th of
next month (September) a detachment
from both corps_of the American Commis
sion, shall proceed to the mouth of the Gl
la, the one to determine the precise point
at which the Gila complies into the Colora
do, referred to in the treaty, and the other!
I to determine itAatitude and longitude. I
understand also that a portion of the Mex
lican CommissioiNill soon afterwards pro
ceed to the s atneidesbitiation. The lati
tude and longittag of the initial point on,
Ithe Pacific and the mouth of the Gila be
ing ascertained and fixed, the Surveying
party.will proceed at once to in:trk ami d
monument the line in a proper manner.—
The probable initial pond on the Pacific!
will be about fifteen miles south of the town
of San Diego.
Col. Weller, I understand, has express- 1
ed the belief that lie will be able to coil!-
, Oen: the survey as far as the mouth of the
Gila, (say about 240 miles) by the Ist ofl
'December next. There is an immense!
desert of some 00 miles on this line, des
titute
of water, between San Diego and the
Colorado. Within two months however, a
stream of running water has broken out ,
not far from the centre oldie desert, which,
when the last emigrants passed over, was
about 20 yards wide and 10 feet deep.—
This will be a God send to the Commis
sion, as well ns to the worn-out and bro
ken down emigrant, coming to the El Do
rado of the Pacific.
No difficulties have grown out of the
failure of either Commission to be at Sun
Diego at the precise time stipulated by the
treaty, and the beat feeling has prevailed.
Arrested for Larceny,
We understand that a young man nam
ed G. A.,Gotwald, a native of Centrecoun

charged with committing a number of rob
beries at different hotels in that city, at
Cape May, and other places. The, prop

The steamer Niagara arrived at Milli

erpool dates to the 6th instant, her day of
sailing. The following is the telegraphic
repott of her news as given by the Peon
sylvanian of the 1 F.lth and 19th.
Ii fga the most important political news
by this arrival, is the possible and even
probable rupture of Russia and Austria
with Turkey. It forms the chief topic of
discourse in the English and French jour
nals, as well as amongst all classes, and in
its paramount importance the Roman dif
(lenity, as Well ' hs till other matters of na
tional importance, appears to have been
almost wholly lost sight of.
The most recent accounts from Con
stantinople state that the Emperor of itos
sia lets made a formal demand through a
special envoy to the Porte for the surren
der of Kossuth, 13em, end other patriots,
who played a prominent part in the late
Iltingarian struggle, and who have sought
refuge at Widden, on the Danube, in the
territories of the Sultan.

to bully the Sultan into a compliance w ill
his demands, has talon on abrupt depart
ure from Constantinople, and Count Timlf, l
the Hessian Minister, lic.s closed all diplo
matic relations with the Porte.
England and France, through their res
pective representatives, have prevailed with
the Sultan in keeping him firm in his res
olution. Already in England and France
cabinet councils have been held, to consid
er these grave eirCuinstnnee. Not the
slightest doubt can be entertained or the

the surrender of these devoted 111011, 111 at.

Paris Journal des 'Moils, of the 4111, sa vs :
' , We are glad to learn that England and
France are most cordially united in their
determination to support their aniliassa
dors in the advices given by theta to the
Porte, respecting the extradition of the
Hung:lrian refugees. A note has - been
drawn up these two powers, urn m i st 9u!...

satisfaction by the Jodi iiid des Dcbats.
Prince Rodgival having returned to St.
Petersburg to tell his tole oldisappointmOt
to the Czar, Fund 'Effendi, -the present
Commissioner in the Danubian provinces,
has been sent by the Sultan to the Czar
to anticipate Prince Rodgival's statement,
and the attention of all Europe is anxious
directed to the North to learn the issue of
the aflitir. The Sultan hits counterman
ded his voyage to Smyrna and the Archip-
logo.
The army of Hi wnelia is ordered to
hold itself in readiness, and the local
troops are being embodied.
There is no reason to doubt but that the
best accord prevails between the English
and French Cabinets, end it is said that a
powerful French and English squadron
will be ordered into the Mediterranean
forthwith, to be ready for any emergency
pending the issue of this absorbing gees-

The manifesto of the Pope, has appeared
in an official form, and has been received
with feelings of deep disappointment, if not
resentment, in all quarters. The feeling
was especially participated in by French
soldiers, several of whom were put under
arrest for having torn down or otherwise
defaced the copies of the manifesto affixed
to the walls.
The Anmeity in particular was made
the object of popular odium. The attitude
of the French military authorities is quite
expectant—it awaits orders from Paris, but
disapproves de filet° the measures order
ed by the Papal Government ; and whilst
the Cardinals dare not walk the streets of
Rome, for fear of encountering the popu
lar fury, the - victims marked out by their
Inquisitorial deprees, walk about freely.
The Pope, relying upon Austria or Spain,
or both, and being promised funds from
Russia, seems to imagine that public opin
,ion will come over to his side, and this
shuts his eyes to the most obvious conse
quences. The debates on the subject, in
the French Chambers, arc anxiously look
ed for, and should the French troops be
withdrawn from the Papal States, there are
strong reasons to apprehend that a fresh
revolution would immediately break forth.
From Vienna there is nothing new, ex
cept that there is increased gloom and des
pondency on the part of the inhabitants.
From Spain we have only reports of a
fresh Ministerial crisis, but not one word
seems to be said of the serious attempts
which . have been meditated agaihst Cuba.
FRANCE.
The Legislative Assembly resumed its
sittings on the Ist inst., M. Dupin in the
Chair, and 490 members in attendance.—
Thq proceedingswere simply of a formal
character. M. de Tocqueville, having de
manded an additional extraordinary credit
of 140,000 fracas, besides the sums al
ready voted for the expenses of the Roman
intervention', until the 31st December next,
the Minister did not anticipate the period
when tho troops might be withdrawn, but
he assured the Assembly that the results
already obtained', justified the hope that an
occupation so glorious for the French ar
my would be speedily terminated. The
procedings of the Assembly • on Wednes
day were devoid of interest.
The suspension of intercourse between
France and America caused much sensa
tion in Paris, when first announced, but
rumor having gnined general belief that
England had offered her mediation, that
feeling considerably sabsidcd. As soon
as a despatch is terminated, M. Marrast or
M. Thiers, it is expected, will be sent to
Washington, in the place of M. Pots:-in.
Gen. Lamorriciere's mission to Russia
has proved a complete failure. He has
left St. Petersburg, on his return to Paris,
without being permitted to present his cre
dentials to the Czar, as the Ambassador
of the French Republic.
Gen. Lamorriciere therefore returns to
France without having an opportunity of
speaking one word with the Emperor, on
political matters, rind the only memorial
heowill bring back of his mission, is the
recollection of' sundry Reviews and the
splendid suit of Circassian armor present
ed to him by Nicholas, immediately eller
his arrival at the Imperial !lead Quarters.

ENGLAND-NEWS EROM SIR JOIIN
A communication from the Lurch of

that hopes are entertained that the news
brought by Captain Parker, of the True
Love, arrived at I lull, from I )a vis' Straits,
of Sir John Franklin's ship htliiing been
seen by the natives as late as Marcll last,
beset by the ice in Prince Regt7tit's Inlet,

From the same sou reports have been
received that Sir John Ross' ships are in
the South of Princp.ltegept's Inlet, and
that the vessels of both i - ;xpeditions are
safe. This hope is somewhat strengthen
ed by the telegraphic message to 'the Ad
miralty, since received, of the Mayo"' of
Hull, where the True Love arrived lak
March.
cholera is rapidly disappearing from'
till parts" of England, as well as all parts of
Europe, where it lat,s,faged so Ipng and
fearfully. •
The Irish journals nee filled...with ac
counts of most sanguinary ,conflicts be
.tween the tenantry and the 'landlords for
the possession of the corn ; and the long
chdrished feeling of hatred between the oc
cupiers of the soil and the owners have
noW broken out with n degree of violence
which threatens very serious results. Al
rendy numerous lives have becti lost.
In the Kilrush linion,a sentence of evic
tion has passed auninst no less than , l6oo
souls from their h r Ome, and their holdings.
From such an unpromising state of things,
it is not to be wondered that emigration is
proceeding with a fresh impulse.
The conviction and condenmation, in
England, of the female Rebecca Smith,
for murdering her infant child, we have
already published, with an intimation that
a horrible suspicion rested upon h e r o f
having killed several of her children in
the same way. We have now to add the
--Conlessimi of the wretched woman since,
her c onviction. She had ten chilatten„
nine of whoin died in their infancy, the
elilest_only being now alive. She was
tried for the murder of the youngest of
i
these children, an infot of a month old,l
but she has confessed to the chaplain of
the Devizes jail, where she is waiting her
execution, that she had pro\ iously mur
dered seven other ocher children in the
like manner. Yet this woman was reli
gious, in her-outward deportment at least.
She attended divine worship at dile meeting
houses every Sabbath day, and reguarly
said her prayers—praying at night by
her own s howing,.tha_t she might be pre
served throughout the night, and returning
thanks and praying for furthre mercies in
the morning, and while she was praying
and thanking God for her own preserva
tion for a period of years, she was the an
nual and deliberate destroyer of her own
offspring, no sooner bringing them into
the world, than administering poison to
get rid of them, and this, too, in a manner
most unnatural !---converting the chan-1
nel of their sustenance into the means of
their destruction by applying the poi Son,
arsenic, to her own bosom, that the chil
dren might suck it off, calmly looking up
on them, sickening, pining, dying ! Well
might the Judge say that he wanted words
to express his horror at such a crime.—
The only motive the wretched criminal
assigns for such deeds of horror is that
she feared that her children might come to
want. She bore the character among her
neighbors of being an inoffensive and in
dustrious woman, and there is no doubt
that sh 6 has suffered privations, her hus
band being given to drunkenness. Her
father was a Market-gardener, and she
had £lOO bequathed at his death, but the
whole of this sum was squandered by her
husband. Suspicions were entertained
that she also endeavored to poison her
surviving child when in infancy, but this
she firmly denies; on the contrary, she
expressed the greatest affection for thiti
child, her only fear (as she says) being
that when she is gone, her daughter will
be neglected by her husband.

'contiiiiie to inform you of the e ff ect
produced on the country by the American
Manifesto. By the Upper Cariatlas re
ceived by yesterday's mail, it appears Nat:
it has been there received in the Spirit
which I foretold it would judging., ' from
the manner in which the journals of that
section of the country had treated the pre
liminary steps. With only the exception'
of one paper, the Kingston Chronicle and
News, all the. other Upper Canada papers
vet received, have greeted the Manifesto
with one burst of loyal indignation. The
Chrnicle (5- News does not openly avow its
sympathy for the movement, but consid
ers the manifesto to he got up in an unex
ceptionable manner, and thinks the ques
i tion worthy of weighty consideration.—
The Hamilton Spectator, Sir Allen Mc-
Nab's organ, desires to impress upon the
Montreal Annexationists, that they must
expect nothing but stern opposition from
Upper Canada. In Toronto, the Patriot
land the Colonist, the eloquent organs of
the loyal tory party there, treat the move
ment as seditious and treasonable. They
strongly protest against the movement, &
in the most emphatic language, appeal to
all the prejudices of their readers; to "the
stirring memories of a thousand years;"
to their ancient loyalty; their old affection
for the loved flag, under which they have
fought, bled, and conquered ; and joined to
which, appeals to their old antipathies for
Republican Institutions and the States.—
The Toronto Globe, the ministerial organ,
is, of course, furious; and thinks the Gov.'
ernment ought to promptly, check the
movement.
So much for the Upper Canada press.
But I have some doubts if it correctly rep
resents the public opinion of that section
on the momentous question of annexation.
Mr. Wilson, in his prospectus of the pro
posed annexation journal, says that he be
lieves a majority in Upper Canada-are in
favor of annexation ; and I have frequently
conversed with gentlemen who have re
cently travelled in different virtu of Upper
Canada; and they have informed me that
there is a strong and growing sympathy in
favor of it. Some districts, I have been
told : would go nearly en masse for it.

A QI'EFR FR EAR OF NATUIIE.—WO
Were shown, on Wednesday last, the
queerest freak of nature we ever saw.—
We doubt much if there ever was such a
nother instance in the world ; and if sci
ence can solve the mystery which sur
rounds it, we shall be greatly mistaken.--
A Mr. Green, of Girard, while engaged in
butchering sheep, found in the lights, or,
lungs of one, a quantity of lead, weighing
at least half a pound. This load is some
six or seven inches in length, and in shape
a cry good representation of a tree with
out foliage. It has some seventy or eigh
ty prongs, or limbs covered with buds,.
luld at the base a root. The lungs were
in a healthy state, and time sheep in good
-orOcr. How came this in the sheeps
lungs! Will the scientific and the learn
ed inform us ?—Eric Observer.
