r-rre3 LOSS OF THE AUTOCRAT, A Tbrrifjic Scene. A passenger who was on board of the Autocrat at the lime or the collision with the Magnolia, 100 miles from New Orleans, has given the Louhville Cou rier a brief description of the scene. The collision was at day-break weather clear, and the whole wide Mississippi for a channel. All the deck passengers, thirty in number, one engineer, and three cabin passengers, were lost. No names given. There were .eight ladies, all of whom were saved. The Autocrat sunk in five minutes in deep water. A Mr. Ferguson, wc do not know his place of residcnce, hut understand his father is landlord of the Gayosa House, Memphis, snatched Irs child from the arms of his wife, and ran to the forecastle, leaving the mother, in the wildness of his alarm, in the ladies' cabin. He stood by us a moment, ar.d made such appeals to save himself and child, I trust in God I never may have occasion to hear again. Wc got him somewhat calm and quiet; and for which he stopped to thank us ; j but the next moment the cry "we are lost' was heard, and indeed it was cruelly true with therm for he attempted to leap to the Magnolia, and fell with his child into the piti less element to rise no more. His wife was saved, and as she stood on the shattered wreck watching with the w'ldest eagerness for the husband and child, she saw a man struggling in the water whom she supposed to be him. By maniac yells and distracted appeals, she induced attention to the drowning man, and by power almost superhuman, he was rescued, and when he reached the boat, the Jady fell round him with her arms, and bless ed God for the salvation of her husband. Poor, hapless, widowed woman ! she awoke from a sad and cruel dream clinging with frenzied tenacity to the neck of him who was another's. You may partially imagine surrounding scenes when the gentleman thus saved remar ked that he almost wished indeed it had been her protector instead of himself. OCrX great cathedral is projected by the Roman Catholics, in Washington city. It is estimated to cos' Sl,000,0003and is to be paid for by contribution from all the Catholics in the Union, and by donations from .Europe. A lot of ground, three hundred Cet square, lias been secured for it. Hasty Legislation. The hasty and precipitate manner in which business is often dispatched in legislative assemblies, towards the closing periods of a session, renders it a matter of wonder that absurdities, such as ihe annexed paragraph relates to, do not more frequently occur. It is reported of a king who was in the habit of signing papers carelessly and without reading them, that he once signed a document decreeing his own deposition. It would be well that legislators who enact laws without knowing what they are voting for, should by such foolish inatten tion to duty consign themselves to private life: Negroes in Iowa A Good Joke. n incorrigible was has succeeded admirably in T T perpetrating a capital joke upon the iowa Le gislature. In passing upon the bill prohibiting negroes from entering that State, and affixing heavy penalties upon them when they do en ter it, J. T. Morton, of Henry, who is both a whig and a wag, moved an additional section, " that the bill should be in force from and af ter its publication in the Ioiva Free Demo, cral" the Abolition paper at Mount Pleasant Tiie bill went back- to the House so amended. The amendment was accepted by the House, mid the bill passed. After while the idea be gan to eke through the hair of a member that the abolition organ might decline publishing the law, and thereby kill it stone dead, and he moved a re-consideration, but failed, and the bill was left to be sent to the Governor in that crafty shape.

Rochester, March 15, Charles McVean, a -son of David McVean Esq., committed sui cide by shooting himself through the heart on Thursday evening. Mc was a young man of highly respectable and wealthy connexions, had just returned from Michigan, and was spending the evening at an uncle's with his wife, when suddenly he arose, kissed his wife, and drew a pistol and shot himself in the pre sence of all in the room. The moment his wife saw what he had done, she took a bottle of chloroform and drank it, and is now in a very dangerous state. The cause of this rash act is said to have ben in consequence of some difficulty between the father and son in rela tion to the division of some properly. Much sympathy is manifested for the amity. A man named John Mnrett, a resident of Pittsburg cut his throat on Thursday, with a razor, which put an end to his life. He left ,his dwelling early, with the purpose, as was supposed of working on his place. He was not again seen till 8 o'clock when his body was found about 20 rods from his house, stiff, with his throat cut and stark in death. Nothing unusual had been noticed in his man ner except, perhaps, a growing gloom and rspf coming to twnnt. He was a native of England, and .rfbp'ut 23 years 'of nge. GREAT FIRE IN'CM'LISLE. The most extensive and destructive fire which has ever occurred in our borough, took place this morning between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock. It orginated in the stable at tached to Scott's Hotel, and notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the citizens, it spread with frightful and terrible rapidity the wind blowing fresh from the northwest. It soon spread to the adjacent buildings, and in the course of a few hours no less than fourteen dwelling houses, twenty two stables and warehouses, and one church (the Luthe ran) were entirely consumed. Several horses and cows perished in the flames. The loss is estimated at 850,000, only about 88,000 being covered by insurance. The fire was got under a: 4 o'clock this morning. No lives were lost, but several persons were seri ously injured. It is supposed to have been ihe work of an incendiary. Kossuth. The uhores of the Mediterra nean will re-echo the shouts ol Freedom, when it is announced that Kossuth, the Hungarian hero, will in all probability be carried from his asylum in Turkey to the United States, there to take rank among a people who have enrolled his name among their fondest recol lections, and who hold up to their children the example furnished in his model character and sublime patriotism. It is not yet certain whether the Sultan will agree to the offer of the United States. A former offer made when Gen. Taylor was President, was declined, owing, so Mr. Brown, our late Consul to Con stantinople, believes, to the opposition of the Austrian minister, resident in that cily. It is to be hoped, however, that the Sultan will have no objection to the present proposal ; es pecially now that the time for the confinement, of Kossuth and his companions, as limited by himself, will expire in May. If he should do so, the world will be impressed by the simple grandeur of these patriotic hospitalities. Favoring gales and resistless steam will carry on the brave vessel that bears this pre cious freight ; and when the heroic Magyar warrior reaches our shores, the PEorLE will receive him with open arms as their guest and their brother. In this brave land he will soon find a field for his ambition, and a thea- trc for that senilis which shook the Senate of Vienna with the thunders of its courage and its eloquence. Fennsylvanian. TERIBLE TRAGEDY IN .PAULDING, MISS. New Orleans, March 9. A negro in Paulding. Miss., violated the person of a white lady, and afterwards murdered her and her son. The citizens turned out en masse, and burhed the nero alive. Don't Grumble. He is a fool that grum bles at every little mischance. Put the best foot forward is an old and good maxim. Don't run about and tell acquaintances that you have been unfortunate ; people do not like to have unfortunate men for acquaintan ces. Add to a vigorous deter minathn a cheerful spirit ; if reverses come, bear them like a philosopher, and get rid of them as soon as you can. Poverty is like a panther, look it steadily in the face and it will turn from you. OCT Some people are always behind hand in this world : they cannot get along : can not make both ends meet. They are mode rately successful in business and they make enough to supply the ordinary wants of life, and yet year after 3'ear they fall into increas ing embarrassments until they are ruinously involved in debt. The reason of this is very simple, and we might elaborate it at large to the edification of our numerous readers , but as Mr. Micaber has felicitously demonstrated it, we will give his language as nearly as we can recollect it. "Annual income twenty pounds ; annual expenditure nineteen pounds, nineteen shil lings and sixpence result, happiuess. "Annual income, twenty pounds ; annual expenditure, twenty pounds and sixpence result, misery." We think it quite unnecessaiy to add a word to this short, but lucid explanation. Asdre. Was the life of Miss MoncriefT ever written 1 mean the celebrated daughter of Major Moncrieff', of the Brittish army, du ring our revolutionary war ? Several biogra- phical notices were written of her, but not the events of her whole life. She was a more dangerous spy than Andre. She managed to become an inmate in the family of General Putnam, who commanded at West Point, and in her drawings and groupings of flowers gave her father, who was at the head of the engi neer department, the plans and state of the forts and defences. Col. Burr, who was aid to Putnam, discovered the stratagem.

The Daily Tribune is issued every morning except Sunday on a large sheet of fine white pa per, forming eight pages of six columns each, or about the size of two average Country Newspa pers. About six of these pages are new every morning ; the aggregate of Editorials, News and Miscellanies being greater than that of any other paper in America, and greater than any but one or two in Europe, though its price is but half that of other first-class Dailies in this Country and less than one fourth the cost of similar journals in Eng land. Two Evening Ediiions are issued to sup ply each subscriber with the latest news up to the hour when his coppy must be mailed. The Tribune is edited in chief by Horace Gree ley, who has special charge of all matters per taining to the Politics and Legislation of our own Country. Its Foreign (Old-World) department is in charge of Charles A. Dana, assisted by able correspondents in London, Paris, Constantinople, &c. &c. Its California intelligence and its City department are in charge of Bayard Taylor, as cictort hv nn nfiirient corns of Reporters.

The Semi-Weekly Tribune contains nearly all the non-advertising matter of tho Daily, except such as is of local interest, or has been superseded by fuller and more exact advices before the Semi Weekly is issued. It is of the same size with the Daily, and has few adevrtiscments. The Weekly Tribune is issued every Thursday morning, and contains most of the matter of the Daily with more summary accounts of such In vents and Proceedings as cannot be published in full. We mean that no Weekly shall surpass this in giving a full graphic and faithful account of what the world is Doing, whereof it is Thinking, and how it is Progressing. The Tribune is not quite ten years olo, and has obtained an aggregate circulation of not far from sixty-five thousand copies about two thirds of them on its Weekly. Every subscription is paid in advance, and the paper stops when the advance pay runs out, so that no man need hesitate to sub scribe from an apprehension of being dunned for arrears, perhaps after he has lefi the place 10 which the paper is sent, in ignorance that it is continued.
