Easter and Lent. There are many who have no definite idea of these',atholic customs. The- Washington correspondent„ of the, New York Journal of Cointnercehrbishes some interesting information on the 'subject, in t h e an nexed letter This is Easter,Tuesday, and the Paster holidays are over—Easter which has been a holiday with Pagans and is so still with some 'denominations of Christians. t* We have, hereabouts, many of the old customs of Easter, which have been handed down from generations past, and from sources lost in the obscurity of tradition. The Catholics were, in formerttim4, the prevailing denomination in Maryland, and the Protestant Episcopalians were thepopu lar religionists in Virginia. In each they were the, prevailing, and in some sense the' established denomination, until towards the close of the last century ; and they still flourish. The Eastern cus toms prevail here, perhaps, to a greater ex tent than elsewhere in the Union. The slaves have, to this day,n holiday on Easter Monday. The Easter eggs are still' hand ed about—or pasehe eggs, i. e. paschal eggs, as they are called i France. In the Greek and Ronian Churelies, Easter was celebrated as a grand festival, and the com mon people enjoyed it as a holiday. Among the Greeks the day was spent in rejoicings. The salutation of every one, as he met his friend, , was Christos aneste, " Christ is risen." - In Rome the Pope, when there was a Pope, used to go in the grand procession to St. Peter's, and assist in high mass. In Turkey, Easter is still announced by twen ty salutes of cannon, at break of ,day ; and sacrifices of animals are made amidst the rejoicings of the people. In England, a working man would lose his caste, who worked on Easter. Englishmen try to amuse themselves—or did so in old times, on this day. The opening of the courts of law, and the - religious observances are still regulated in England by Easter. It is a holiday at all the public offices except those of Excise, Customs and Stamps. During Lent, the people had so mortified themselves, that they were glad to throw off restraints, and ,indulge in good cheer. Hence arose a thousand customs, many of which still exist, all tending to conviviality. The priests, in the Catholic countries, used to divert their congregations with 'Easter tales or Pabulee Paschales, i. e. funny stories. Some which I• have are very lu dicrous, and yet inoffensive, and probably instructive. Easter may be traced far beyond the era of Christianity.. It was a pagan observance, but was adopted by some of thci early Christians, and applied to their religion. The Christians commemorate Easter as the resurrection of Christ, the festival origina ting in the idea that Christ was typified by the paschal lamb. With them it had its origin in the feast_ of the passover, as or dained by' Moses. ;The word Eastei. is said to have been derived from the name of the Teutonic goddess Ostera, whose feast was celebrated early in the spring. That word was derived from the word osters, which signifies rising, because nature arises anew in spring. The word East has the same origin, being the quarter' where the sun rises. The ancient heathen feast was intended to celebrate the resurrection of nature; the Christian festival ( which was substituted for it) the resurrection of Christ. Lent, which precedes Easter, was also observed by Pagans, and the word is Teu tonic, meaning the "spring time of the year." Lent is, perhaps, more observed in this immediate region than in any portion of the United States, so much so that it has a visible effect on our 'markets. There is a difference of opinion whether it originally lasted forty delays or forty hours, bin the Church has established the period at forty days. The Catholics universally, and some Episcopalians abstain, during the season, from meat. They eat fish and eggs, and,to use a phrase from Shakspeare, " With LENTrzi salads cool their blood.r Many of the Catholic observances of Easter are shown to have been derived from the Hebrew rituals,, while others were of Pagan origin. The Eastern or Greek Church was, pro bably more indebted to Paganism for some of its customs, than the Western or Roman Church. As a proof of this, 'refer to the ceremony noted by Dr. Clarke,. , the traveler, which prevails in the Greek Islands, of con. veyiog Silenus in procession, at Easter. This was also ate ancient Pagan rite. If Silenus was a grave philosopher, as some assert, he presents a very merry aspect. I have an engraving of one; said to be after an etching from a sardonyx getn that be-, longed, to the late Duke of Devonshire ; and it is the very image of humor and gravity ' oddly mixed. This engraving is also a perfect representation of an antique comic mosque,in marble, which 1 possess, and which was presented to me by a friend who resides in Tuscany . , • and which is stated to have been taken frOrn Pompeii. But if there was any doubt , of that, it is removed by the description and engravings of the mosques in marble and bronze, taken from Pompeii, and belonging to the Tqwn send gallery 'in England. Theae are, all identical with the figure, in the Easter 'pro cessions in modern Greece, as described by Dr. Clarke. Thisl mention only as onelpri? of of the admixture of Pagan rites with the obser vances of the. Greek Christiana. - , , THE OLD DomplioN.—lf :ignorance is bliss, the jolliest set of fellows iri. all crea tion may be found in old Virginia, where they hare eiglapthree, thouswid chivalrous sons, who cannot read or write, Indiaq stands second in this bliSsful state. , ' School masters, ahoy !

The storm, which in this vicinity has lasted about three days, is showing some signs of clearing off, at this writing. The East River wharves nearly all the way from Corlear's Hook to the South Ferry, were overflowed. On the -North River side, we have already stated, great damage kas been done to property.:, Many poor families, residing in basements in that part of the city, have been driven from their homes. At the South Ferry, the tide rose three and a half feet above its usual height, and from two to three feet above the, common height' of spring tides. The first twelve piers leading eastward from the South Fer ry, beina ° at a high elevation, were unaf fected ; but South street throughout this distance was completely swamped, and op posite piers 3,5, 11 and 12, presented un broken sheets of water. From Coenties Slip to Maiden Lane, the watchmen on duty were busily employed in taking goods from every cellar to which they could get access. At about 9 o'clock last night, Franklin Saloon, under Franklin Market, was filled to the depth of twenty inches. Pier 15, which is sunk below the level of South strut, was completely immersed. Cellar No. 69, containing a store of boots and hats has suffered badly . .. The water took its course up to Front street, each cellar on either side beinentered. From the corner of Fulton, to Peck Slip, every cellar shared the same fate. Catherine Ferry appeared actually afloat. Piers 43, 45, 40 and 47 had the next visitation : from the first named, no less than 20 hogsheads of sugar were rolled up by the watchmen on duty. From Montgomery td Gouverneur sts., was a perfect overflow, and . the Jackson ferry had to close an hour earlier than usual, on account of the extreme height to which its bridge had been carried, tearing at the same time from its fastenings, and partly crush ing the ladies' saloon. Throughout the whole of the First Ward, scenes of extreme suffering were presented on every side. The tide when it broke over the wharves on the North River came so suddenly on the-premises located in the lower part of West street, occupied by a large number of poor families, emigrants, &c., that they were forced to escape, pell mell, and take refuge in the Station Houses. Sick families unable to move were seen ly ing on their miserable beds with their effects floating nbout them. Severe Storm at the East. Immense Destruction of Property and Lass of Life—Shipwreck. BOSTON, April 17, LP. M We were yesterday visited by a most ter rible storm and gale. The wharves are mostly overflown. The cellars of the Custom House stores, on Long wharf, were completely inundated, and the destruction of property thereby is immense. The flats at, East and South Boston are covered with water. The rails in d number of places on the Housatonic railroad have been washed up and the embankments carried aivay. The track on the Worcester railroad is undermined beyond the dam. The Eastern railroad is also badly wash ed in Many places. The new Episcopal Church, at the cor ner of Paris and Decatur streets, is so se riously damaged that it will have to be re built. 'This is the highest tide ever known to have occurred in Boston: Apprehensions are felt for the safety of the lighthouse at Minot's Ledge. The steeple of the• Baptist Church at Charlestown has been , blown down. Theo dore Lock, a milkman, who was passing at the time, was killed. A schooner is reported to have- been wrecked on Chelsea beach, and all on board are supposed to have perished. Further Accounts of the Storm in the East—Afi. not's Lighthouse, - 4e. Accounts from Plymouth state the loss of property by the gale and high tide there at from $30,000 to $60;000. Bridges were swept away, and property of all kinds car ried off. At Marshfield and Kingston simi lar destruction occurred. Mr. Bennett, the keeper of Minot's Light house, has just arrived from Colasset, and reports that the light is clear gone to the foundation, and thinks the rock was split by the force of a single sea of unusual strength. The light was last seen burning on Wednesday night at 10 o'clock, at which time the bell 'was also heard _to ring. Accounts of damage by the'gale continue to come in. At the Eastward the drainage was considerable. We do not hear 'yet of any wrecks of magnitude, though the outer islands are covered with - wreck stuff: The bodies of the two AsSistant keepers of' Mi not have not-been recovered. The R. B. Forbes has gone down to re main off Minot ledge until a light boat can be obtained, which will take about a week. The steamer America had a narrow escape from Minot ledge. Important from Nicaragua. Dreadful Outrages—Fifteen Americans Murdered. . RICHMOND,' April 18. By an arrival at New Orleans, we have received later dates from San Juan and Nicaragua. Passengers inform the editor of the pi cayune that the Americans in the Nicitra gua and the Mosquito. country have been subjected to the most infamous outrages, and fifteen of their number were basely murdered. All the Americans in the coun try, to the number of eight hundred, have been compelled for safety lo make prepard tions to leave. Many were already at San Juan on the sth, preparing to embark for American ports. • The government and the people, through British interference, had taken a sudden and unexplained dislike to the Americans. BOSTON, April 18 THE WELLSBO . RO Late from California. Artival of the Steamship Prometheus--$2,,00000 in Gold Dust—Nevada City reduced to Ashes—: One Hundred and 'Fifty Bowles Burned. * NEW YOELE., April 18, 1851. The steamship Prometheus, from Chagres, the Bth instant, arrived here this evening, with 260 passengers, but brings no gold on freight. There is, however, a considerable amount in the .hands of her passengers. She brings dates from San Francisco, to the 18th of March, being two weeks later than last advices. The steamer New Orleans had arrived at Panama, April Ist, with $BOO,OOO in gold; the steamer Northerner, with $BOO,OOO, and the steamer Antelope, with 8600,000=rdl of which was at Chagres when the Prome theus sailed. There had been a continuation of rob beries when the Prometheus sailed. Fever was prevailing to a considerable, extent at Chagres. Lynch law appears to prevail in Califor nia. Two men, who gave their names as James Baxter, of Maine, and Charles Sim mons, of Mass., were hung •by the populace on Consumner's river, on the Bth ult., for horse stealing. The United States Assay office in San Francisco was in MI blest. -Messrs. blab fat & Co., who have the contract, received $lOO,OOO in three hours after they opened their office, Nevada city has been reduced to ashes. The fire is supposed to have been the work of incendiaries. One hundred and fifty houses were destroyed, and the loss is cal culated at one'million of dollars. Earthquakes—Dreadful Loss of Life. Our files by the America informs us that a succession of earthquakes - have been felt at Macri,e town of Natolia, in Asiatic Tur key, and at Samsoon, a sea-port in the Black Sea, within the same Province, and at the island of Rhodes, situate at the en trance of the Gulf of Macri. At the first mentioned place they were attended with great destruction to human life and proper. ty. The whole of the houses and stores lately erected in the town were levelled to the ground, fissures were formed• in the streets, from which bituminous vapors exude continually, almost suffocating the inhabi tants. The neigboring town of Levissey, which contained 1500 houses, has not one left standing, and no less than 600 human be-, inas are supposed to be under the ruins. l Other' villages in the vicinity have suffered the same fate. At Rhodes, the upper part of the castle, which is at the entrance of the town, fell with an awful crash, over v. helming the offices of the Austrian Lloyd's Steam NaOgation Company. Other build ings Sustained great injury. At Samsoon a smart shock was felt on the 25th of Feb ruary, but it caused no damage. Letters from Trebizond to the sth of March, state that two smart chocks had been experien ced there.—Phila. Inqiiircr. HON. DAVID DAGGE .
