u order to meet the cars on Wednesday. There ; were two California merchants who had just re- i turned, having with them nearly $500,000 in j gold, which I think will he lost, as the boat has tlihs morning floated off in deep water and sunk. Theie was also $10,000 in California dust in the safe, and I think the actual loss is not far from $000,000. The Captain did all in his power, hut no earthly power could have done any thing under the circumstances. Had the cane brake taken tire, all who had got ashore and in the brake would have been burnt I got considerably bruised internally, and one of my | bands is slightly burnt, but 1 am thankful that j it is no worse. The safety valve ropes burnt off, or in all probability the boilers would have burstcd, the fire having melted the joints of the ; ^ atftfim nines, and a irreat many persons, suppos ing the boilers were bursting, jampod into the | river and wee drowned. It never will be c >rrectly ascertained bow many lives were lost, as none of her books were saved. But one thing is sure, neither lady nor child remains totell the tale. There was a passenger on board who had a life-preserver and could swim, but refused to give it to a lady who asked it for her child. AH the ladies were w illiug to sacrifice their own lives for the prescription .of thair children. C. W. S. ' Mr. James (1.

"Some ignorant and infatuated person in Cardington.Rushhurv, and other parishes," says an English provincial paper, "are signing n petition to the Almighty to chain i!;e devil," &c. TiikFat Jury.?Much amusement and quite a commotion was excited at the Court House. ----- - - . ' I I on Friday last, by rather curious coincidence.! A jury was summoned to take an inquisition of lunacy, and never were men of greater icci^ht, imparnielled to act in the weightier mutl-r of the luir. A portly gentleman, aldennatiic ia his proportions, arrived first and took his seat; and soon another and yet another came, until the i ponderous complement was complete. As the ' goodly company increased in number, smiles and winks began to be interchanged; broad grins next followed, and finally inextinguisha- ; We laughter shook the room, in which a consid-, erable number of spectators, attracted by the ; odd fellowship, merrily participated. The re- j a'pective weights of fifteen of the Jurors were ' ascertained, and the aggregate was 3354 lbs., j an average of 223 9-15?the minimum bei ig 200 and the maximum 280 lbs. Whether this assemblage was the result of malice preiK'iise, , on the part of the Clerk, or other ofliecr, who 1 drew the jury, or was merely a fortuitous con- j currencc of portly gentlemen, is a problem yet to be solved.?Charleston Courier, 1 '2th inst. Tiik Blasphemer's Dratii.?'There is som?- ! thing so dreadfully startling in the following facts, and so tearfully exemplifying the grievous in and extreme peril of blaspheming the name I of the Eternal, that had we not made minute and carelul inquiry, even among the very haunts of those living where the occurrence took place %ve seould have believed the whole to be an ex /iggerated rumor of some ordinary and every ,day casualty, rather than the awfully-true nar- ! (Tative of a dreadful judgment. Ou the morning of Sunday last, a married wo- ! roan residing in the Friars, Fields, named Sarah M organ, was observed with an infant in her arms, near her own house, disputing with a woman named Elizabeth Volan. A quarrel of a very voilent character, so far as words went, ! ensued, and in reply to an obse v.;:i??n made b\ i the woman, Sarah Morgan cx< I d ned that she | hoped that l??d Almighty would ' ike her blind, .deaf, dumb and stiff, if sue u.\1 * '* ',( r* !. self upon her in a particular ma-iner. Almost . i directly she staggered, let her child fall from I her arms to the ground, and would hoi'SOn f\n- i .patently have fallen, but that her neighbors pi). ' mediately assisted her into the house. Dr. Stack was promptly in attendance, who. we neak scarcely remark, coiiliuucd to render her every assistance which medicul skill and humanity could suggest. From the moment that she was thus mysteriously strickened to the j hour of her death, at half past one o'clock on Wednesday morning, the only words she uttered, and just after she was born in were, "Lord, have mercy on my poor soul?have mercy on ] my children !'; and then her voice failed her, and i she became dumb, her sense of hearing was de- < stroyed, her eyes became glassy and sightless, and in about sixty hours from the moment in 1 which she was struck down, death placed his \ icy hand upon her, and she became a corpse.? This fearful event has produced a patnful sensation even am ?ng the abandoned creatures of the locality in which it occurred.? Monmouth (Eng.) MerlinDa.
