I Indeed, the chief cause of monotony and poor f reading generally, is the fact, that very often i : the mind of the reader doe> not comprehend j t the thought <it the author, nor his heart syin- j i pathise with the feelings expressed, and lie c leads therefore mere words, hardly attaching I more meaning to them, ceitainly giving to li ' * i? . a \ i I ,i iiicin no morn expression, uiiiu uiougn uu-y j <j worn of a foreign tongue. j | There must be enthusiasm in the reader, to ' v produce effect upon the hearer.

There is imn.li that is lechanieal in reading, which every one may equirc, and without acquiring which, no one an read well. Thoughts are expressed by fords, and lie tails, who, Ibr whatever reason oes not give till! force to words, sounding acli one distinct \<^t a< a unit made of several lemeilts. Feelings are expressed by tones of he. voice and he who cannot insensibly change is voice from one tone to another, fails in pro icing the legitimate effect of good reading.

The late <>f the steamer f^Tln Francisco , j is at length known, and .terrible beyond ex: prcssion it is. Universal anxiety has become j dreadful certainty. The ship foundered, and , two hundred and forty of the seven hundred j huiujMrtfeiitgs with which she was freighted have j^fnsfisheil in the sea. They did not indeed go j down with the ship, but were swept overboard ! some da \ s before she. foundered. Hut a beI ncfieent Providence tempers the severest af1 ; (lit lions with consolations, and so this dread mi calamity migur, out mr his mercy nave liei 11 iiifiiiiiflv more disastrous; for all ? !* the : hundreds on board when tin; >-!>ij> sank wore providentially i use tied by vessels accidentally at. band. Of those who perished sonic were j of the most, distinguished and beloved of (ho 1 I land. The follow ing are the sad particulars , and the names of come of the lost, as thev 1 res ehed us last night by telegraph : Nkw Vokk, Jan. 13. The ship Three Cells has ill lived with one ' i hundred an 1 sixty persons saved from the ^steamer San Francisco, which foundered at j sea on the 5th of .January. Those who have arrived include about one hundred ollieers and soldiers and most of the crow of tlie ill fated steamer. A number of other passengers were taken o.T the sinking ! ship hy the lank Kilby, bonnd for I'o-ton, and i many by the ship Antarctic, bound for Liver! pool. j Mo-t of the cabin passengers, together with ' as many soldiers as it was deemed prudent for her to take, numbering in all about one hundred persons, are on board the bark Kilbv.? She has probably gone to Ccrmudu, having parted company with the steamer during a gale on the night of the iJOtii December, four days ' hcfoie the Three Hells left. The ship Antar'ic , has on board the resi luc of the troops, and i (.'apt. Watkins, of the strainer San JTi'itcisco, i who has nroceedcd to Liverpool with them to | see tint they are properly provided lor. J . In the gait; of the '23d December, the Sail j Francisco broached to twice, and was mum , disabled. On the tilth all her spars and sails ! were Mown away. At one o'clock in the morning of the '2.~>:h the engine slopped in eonse1 quenee of the breaking ol' the piston rod, and left the ves-el totjIJy unmanageable, the scant tiie same time striking her tremendous hlows ; under the guards, tearing up the planking fore ! and aft on both sides, and e.iusiug the ship t<> ; leak badly. The troops were then organised . into hailing parties. At nine o'clock on the Colli, a heavy sea struck the steamer amid, i diios earning awav hotli smoke stacks, all . , j 1 n . ^ * j the upper saloon, staving the quarter deck, and washing overboard a large number of persons, : killing three of the ship's crew. On the '23th, | the hark Kilby was spoken, and laid by the ; o'oner until three o'eioelt in the afternoon of j the ti'dlli, when a number of the passengers were transferred to the bark, which let go I.or hawser at ten o'clock at night, and nothing has finee been heard of her. The gale continued throughout the iOt'i and o 1st,.a number oil lie men being sick, and some in a dying condition, t iii the evening oft lie 1st Jaiuiaia, the liritNh . | ship Three Hells was spoken, and laid by the 'steamer until the 3d, when her boat was got alongside.
