Reaching1 Liverpool on t!;o Slot, and eeein; Ihit hnire monster ol the deep tor the first lime, I felt no particular apprehension but that ahe would move in safety over the At lantic. I still think from the vaitt atronifth ahe exhibited on the bearli and Ihe rapidity of her course to the scene of her misfortune that pro petty managed, she wasoiie of the. safest vs sel that ever crossed the sea, and most rliffi b'y for speed. This had began to bo a prneral impression, so that in ioavinu the dock of Liv erpool we enrolled nne hundred and eighty. four passengers, the largest number ever enrolled in a tram vessel to cross the ocenn. . The ship's crew and all its eftarlirt amount ed to one hundred and thirty more, making in all, more than three hundred human beings. At least nne hundred of the passengers were females, including lily little Opera girls, sin fjers, Ace., daniues, with their mistress and five 'etnnle attendants. Some of these little girls, dragged front their parents and country to Eng land, for a rhcte were unwilling to embark, and ono or t 'AO were actinlly dragged screaming on hoard hv the female monster who were to make gain by tlicir soirees in New York. I said, as i saw them from 8 to 12 years of age hurried nn board, 'il is an ahaminnl inn' of cru elty, and m I say still. Two of these little ones were actually left on the wharf as they came too late to embark. Among our passengers were the Rev. I)'. Cnx of New York, Rev. Meisrs; Wheelnck and Church of the Baptist denomination, Rev. .Mr. Osgood, a Baptist Missionary returning sick with his wife and children, from a long service in Rurmah; Rev. Mr. Reed of Connecticut, and two or three clergymen. Mr. King, Minister o London, was a'ai with us on hia return home. Of Philadelphia!), were Mr. Ralston aod five ladies under Iiiscarc ; Mr. ntnl Mrs. Gard ner ; Mr. Fallon and two Indies; Mr. Samuel Ashmead and some otheri besides your corres pondent.

A anccession of shock after shock roused all, and screams began to issue from the Ladies rooms. .The wind now rose to a tempest. It was deep darkness with out. The rain began to pour down in torrents There was one bright long continued gleam of lightning which showed before and around ns the white breakers, and on each side large and appalling rocks. The lightning waa followed by loud thunder, which heard at such a time was most fearful. The Captain went up fock eta from the deck, and fired heavy signal puna, all of which rather tended to deepen the com mon alarm. Sometimes we had A Tew moments of comparative quiet, and then came ehnrk after shock, as the waves dafhed against us and lifl cd os to fall heavily on the ground. Atcachof these shocks which occurred at! frequent intervals, it seemed as if our last hour had come, and the only partition between us and the wave about to be annihilated. Our ignorance and the ignorance of thrj captain, as to where we were and what we were to meet next, and our entire inability to stay on deck, to tnnko any provisions for safety deepened the horror of our situation. For 7 hours wc remain ed in this condition and you may well imagine j they were long fearfu hours, that will be re- ; membercd while life lasts. We waited, O how impatiently for the day, and yet feared that day would dawn only to show that escape was an i impossibility. The Captain at an early period came into the cabin, and told tho collected patsengt-rs that he was certain that the ship was on a sand bank and not on the rocks, and that he thought all would be saved by boats in the morning. Rut a i he had run his vessel ashore so mysteri ously, and confessed he did know where we were, and was moreover likely to attempt to in.pire quiet by giving assurance of safrty the passengers had but little confidence in his words while the bowling wind was sweeping over the deck, and the waves thrashing the vessel with a power that made the whole mass quiver, as if every part was breaking asur.der. On the whole the passengers behaved re,ll. When it was thought that death was certain and one and all abnnt to be hurried to Eternity, I deemed il my duty, while 1 felt of course the awful solemnity of my own situntion, to say a few words publisiy, to attempt to benefit any that might be unprepared to diw. The Rev. l)r Cox followed with an exhortation and pray er. One Clergyman read a Psalm, and another still gave a word of encouragement. I believe there was never a more sincerely praying cir- c!, or a time and place, whpti and where man ! more earnestly sought strength from God. i The scene was sublime. It was the hour of human passivity and weakness, for till morning nothing could be done ns the Captain confessed. !

Towards morning the wind shifted, and after : blowing for a time violently from Northwest lulled. There was a gradual subsidence of the crowd into a silent but anxious awaiting their destiny, and some even slept. When a large wave thundered against the vessel there wasa sigh, deep and almost universal, as each regard ed it a indicative of as final breaking of the ves sel.

The final ebbing of the tide, left the ship bolt upwright, embedded in the snnd, with the wa ter so shallow that it could bo waded to the shore.

Then can our trunks, sh that by five o'clock P. .M. nearly every thing belonging to the paseengers, waa a ahore. The Irish peasantry at firet behaved well, but when they began to como in ciowda to pl mo ny, they became exorbitant, and even cherced fifteen shillings in some casta for a single cart load of baggage lor ha If a mile, from the ship to the depot, nenr the shore.

A Ci'Biot's Fact IN Ahhri lti rk We find in the New Vrfc -t'tt an aectmnt of the produc tion ol potatoes io the following manner: A gentleman in the month of .May conceivrrl that it was ueceeeary to CUt one or two more bran ches from his grape vine, and he accordingly lopped fill (ht unneceiiMty branrhe, which cau sed them to bleed, and to remedy this he split a potato into Iwu'picjee, one of whieh he sr.ick nn the end of Ihe bleeding branch. He then tied a reg fa.t to the branch so aa lo cover the potato and keep it from falling ofT, and then left it, "The rag wis riot disturbed sgain, until a day or two since, when it was rem.ivej and found to contain a crop of four small potatoes, which had grown from the pii-oe stuck cn the end ot the branch. .

Editor".1 I have but a few leisure moments to give you an account of oUr great battiest Monterey. On the morningof the 21st Gen. Taylor formed hisiir.e for battle, and mar ched up to the outskirts and fortifications or the town, keeping one bomb and his artillery batte ry going all the time. The Mexicans Contin ued to fire on lis nil day, but with no effect. Gen. Worth on one side of the town, with Col. Jack Hays and Capt. Wajkerand the Tex an Rangers ; and Gen. Taylor, nnd the volun teers on the other, wc made ogr way into the streets over th"ir breanl works, with a heavy loss on both siilen. When we n.nde the first charge, we h.-.t our gallimt Col. Wntson. The P.aUi. morenns fought bravely, and done credit to cheir city. We lost a number of men, but 1 cannot give you their names tt present. The Tennessee tnd Mississippi volunteers were cut op horribly. Kentr.ck did not stand ihe fire well, and Ohio g., ,n a hot place, bu soon incited out of it. Cspt. Barber and Co!. McCulhudi, of .Mi'-,'issippi, also fell mortally won ml eii, with a number of other officers, whose names I caorjt remember. Some of the staff ray that i,9r loss is 700 killed and wounded, but 1 t'.nnk there tnest te at least l000. The Texan Rangers are the most desperate fret of men in battle thnt I have ever heard of. They charged tip to Ihe breastworks', dismoun ted, and ruilu'd over on foot, with sword in hand. Tiny wen; each armed with barrelled rifles, and, as may be ttppoed, done greal exe cution a:noiiv Ihe copp r akihs. The .'til end 5:h rogiiucuia of tho regulars were much cut up slso, from the forty pieces of artillery nl.ich we bad to silence, as well as the miihkitry from the houe-tope. 1 will relate you a number of incidents that oeeurred during the three days: CV. MrClung, of Missisjippt, the groat duel list, got upon the liresxt works, waved his hat, and was in the act of givinp three cheers, when a bull atrtirk bun, from tti'e effects of which lie l.a since died.

Prom the. Rio Omnrle, Tha following letter gives some interesting particulars of the battle at Monterey. We copy from the New Orleans Delta : Matamoxas, Oct. 3d, 1846. To the editors of the Delta Gentlemen t presume yon have before this received intelli gence of the most obstinately contested battle re corded in our annals the capture ef Montery, after a three days' siege and assault. On the morningof the 21st ult, Gen. Taylor having ar rived before the city. Major Mansfield and Captain Williams, of the Topograpbiral Ene,i- Nieers, were gent forward to reconnoitre, and found but one point where they deemed an im prsssion might be made. Col. Garland, in com mand of the Sd Brigade, composed of the 3d and 4th Infantry, was accordingly sent forward, and, exposed to a murderous fire, dashed directly into the city. la the mean time Gen. Worth's divi sion commenced the attack, at the same mc Vnent, upon the fortifications in an opposite quar ter of the town. Worth's bad been intended for the real or principal assault, while Twiggs' di vision was intended merely to effect diversion in bis favor by a feigned attack. But it so hap pened that the false attack led by Col. Garland resulted in being converted into the principal one while Wortb'a division, although it per formed everything in the most gallant style, met with comparatively little opposition The 2d Brigade having advanced into the city, the Ten nessee, Mississippi, Baltimore and Ohio Volun teers were ordered to take a very strong fortify cation, the advanced post of the enemy, railed the Horse Sshoe Fort. 'J hey advanced, the Ton netseeans in front, under cover of some corn fields, notwithstanding a iremendousjire from the tops of the houses, and from the Cathedre.'j Fort or Citadel, committed terrific havoc aiv.or.g them. Nothinj daunted, however, they rushed on and stormed the fort with such impetuosity that the enemy, now exposed also ttt a fire in the rear from the 3d Infantry, were 'forced to aban don the plate with the utmost precipitation. B this time Worth's division !iad made Considers ble progress, although Iketr loss was small. On the second day Worth bad reached the Cemetry, a very stronsly fortified position, surrounded by a high wall ; this wa. tnkfn, end a mnr'ar p'art ted there, frClti which shells were thrown int4 the Plaza. The Amer.ran. had found lh !re. or ids city barricaded with stone .tl!; hut i.o oh-iv cles, nod fTinuliie were found insnnrn ,i;,;ii'e, by Arr.ej-ican valor! The enemv themht to have Monterey recorded in his-tory as tho Sara gossa of Mexico, and to win nnfading laurels in the repulse which they were to inflict upon thr) American forces. The fierce-l of the fight was in the very street of the city, and there the deadline's of Tcxnrt retribution found no obstruction to is reverse in the wall of stono which had been reared to oppose its advance. The Texans acting as light infantry, actually made their way from house Id house with axe nt( rpades. At the end of the fipht they hnd to mourn the lo?s c: Co plain Gillespie. On the evening of the 2.1), o-f forces had erH tered the city aall points every ii'ptant po sition excepting the citadel had been captured j but so desperate was the contest, that on oti tempting to form the 31 Infantry but 71 men could be collected, commanded by Capt. Hen ry, the youngest Captain in the Regiment. On Ihe morning of the 21th, the attack was sgain commenced, but during the day the enemy ca pitulated. The American force engaged wad six thousand, the Mexicans from nine to twelve1. The 1os of the enemy is estimated st l.'iOO lit killed and wounded our will reach OiXl. Lieuh Col. McClurg, of the Mississippi Volunteers ha died of his wounds. For ihe first tim sine" the commencement of the war, our Volunteer" forces have had an opportunity of proving that the aspersions tvi frequently heaped upon them. are unfounded; they havo covered thertitelves) with glory. The principal loss f.-!l upon the .Mississippi and Tennessee Regiment, snd 3.1 nnd 4tN In-' fantry. They were forced to fl-ht their wsy' inch by Inch into the city : ihelr udvineea were" made over the bodies of their fallen comrades J but the almost insurmountable obstacles whieff they encountered, served only to add fresh ftfel to the tire of their enthusiasm. When thr? armistice wss entered into, they had made their' wsy into the very midst of the enemy, and were in such a position that, had the fight lusted onrj day longer, the slaughter amnn; the Mexicans1 would have ber-n tremendous L Iu lW''n to the regular Mi jrican force, the America oa were compelled to eneotiutef thi whole ruasa of the popuhtkm, wfio fired op theru from the top cMJJiouscs, doors, aerl windows.
