"When neatly ready to give I up their painful and almost hopeless task at t ho ! oars, the mm were sustained and prompted to fresh efforts hv the kind and cheering words of the ladies, whose painful situation, destitute of all comforts and necessaries, it is almost impossible to appreciate. The sufferers wore received and treated at I'rest i with the utmost kindness, attention, and hospi-j tality, both by the French autlioritics'and also by j the British Consul and English residents. At Havre the English resid ents made a subscription | to the amount of nearly , 20 for their benefit, with which to supply their most pressing necessities. The escape of Mrs. Maclennan was almost a miraculous one?she was twice separated from her child, an infant of tender age: yet the courage she displaj-ed in foeo\ering it, in the mid-t of the scenes of horror attending the rapid conflagration of the ship, show the enduring love of a mother, which no circumstance of danger to her-1 . self could cause her to forget. We regret to i ad-1 that the husband of Mrs. Maclennan is a-! moug the fearful li>t of the niis-ing by this terrible catastrophe. She, however, entertains a firm conviction that Mr. Maclennan escaped in one of the boats which lias yet be accounted for, and we understand express s an expectation i that he may }*et lx* heard of. Mrs. Maclennan is severely bruised, and her h'-alth is consi?l.?ra-1 bly shaken by the fearful suff.rings through j' which she has passed. On landbgai Soiithamp- ( ton to-day, she was powerfully affected. She i was met by her brother-in-law, and left South? atnpton to job her relatives by the three o'clock train. Miss Smith, the other female pa -sengor, had displayed a heroism and intrepidity throughout these painful scenes which place her almo-t in the rank of Grace Darling. She i- a verv prepossessing young lady, and wc understand took a jiassago by the Amazon t > join a family in j Porto Rico, with whom she had obtain d the ap- J pointment of governess. Miss Smith >t ties that, after having retired to rest on the cv.-ntful night, she was aroused by a sudden noise nTid a cry of "Fire!" She rushed out of her berth in her nightdress, but wes met by some gentleman, who conducted or carried her buck to her cabin, enjoining her not to be alarmed as the Raines would soon be subdued. From the increasing confusion, she, however, thought it b- t to provide for her own safety, and accordingly obtained possession ofa blanket and a petticoat, (snatching up the first articles at hand,) and rushed upon the d ick. The appearance of matters there, it appears, impressed her with the conviction that Capt. Syill >ns had lost all control ovyr his crew, who were rapidly launching the boats and# getting away from the ship as f.*t as theyc"uld. j Miss Smith, therefore, form d the r.-solve of J saving her own life if possible, and set about it , with a coolness quite extraordinary. She put on her poticoat, enveloped herself in the blanket, and and then making t'a-t one end of a rope to som ; part of the bulwarks of the ship, and securing J the other end to on* of her arm , she threw h r-; self overboard with the intention >f getting int j one of the boats, but, if unsitcc-ssful in tlii.s en-' deavor, to remain suspended as 1 >ng as .die could, ' and then t > drop into th" sea, prof- rring d*\ith by drowning, to th" horrible alt rnativo of j?r-r- ( ishing by fire.

She; was, however, snatched from iium"dinto d- ath, but only to encounter the horrors ami uncertainties of a stormy sea and a furious gale. In all the trying scenes which followed, her lirmness and courage never d>-scried her; in fact, ! on several occasions she took her place at the i oars, and helped manfully by her bodily exertions to propel the boat. So destitute of clothing were the crew of tie- boat in which this young i lady was a fellow-suff rer, and such an entire absence was there of anything with which t>> make a signal, that she was obliged to take oil" !i r pctticoat, in order that it might be a'tached to an oar and hoisted as ati emblem of distress to invite the attention of passing vessels. A volume would li.ne to be written to eliron iele th*? incidents attending this appalling calam- j ity, and the personal experience and observation of each survivor. To most of them it appeared as the operation of a frightful dream, 1 >ut events passed before their minds, and impressions were formed with a horrible distinctness and rapidity, which a life-time will not obliterate. The most conflicting statements are given, and the m<>?t contradictory opinions formed and advanced by the survivors, not onlv with ref'.-renee tothe primary cause of the conflagration on board th" Amazon, hut also in relation to several other points connected with the di-ciplino of the ship, j the efforts that were made to subdue the. flames. arid may other mat tors.

Louis Napoleon's principles of government are is great a practical contradiction as his title is a nisiioiner. Prince-President is no worse a conunction than a standing army and universal sufiage. There is one trait, however, of his policy vhich has not characterized the supreme autho ity of Franco since the expulsion of the' elder Napoleon. lie has nerve. lie hits not rascilla;od or temporized, lie has not played hide and leek, as did so many of his predecessors whom hauce had brought to the head of affairs.

Kossuth Fever. t Kossuth's late trip from Pittsburg to Cleveland. Ohio, < resembled o grand triumphal march. The fever in Ohio j is raging with a burning fervor, beyond any tiling on ? record. The Railroad track was literally curtained with i the gaping multitudes, huzzaing for the Great Magyan ( and straining their eyeballs to catch a peep at Hunga- < ry's Representative. He was fairly shouted along from f station to station. At every depot, turn out or water- < ing place along the entire line, deputations and com- ' mittf"s met him. welcoming him among them. As ] soon as the car would stop, a Judge, a General, or Ks- 1 quire somebody would mount the rostrum, and ring the ' usual changes in praise of Hungary, non-intervention, 5 and that embodiment of human freedom the Magyar, whose replies would often bo cut off by the shrill whistle of the engine hurrying him on to re-enact the same ] scenes all over again in the very next ten minutes. J At a point called Salem. Mr. Marshall bade him welcome, it is said, "in a beautiful address." In replying ' to which, Kossuth begged them in complimenting him j not to forget his cause. At Alliance J. C. Vaughan in- 1 troduced the committee to tho Magyar. Judge Spalding, in their behalf said some line tilings; promising ' 011 the part of the people of Ohio, "money, bayonets, ' stout hearts, and stalwart arms." Judge Harris, at Canton, delivered the welcoming speech, and coiiclu- j fled by handing over a cheek. ( At Alliance, Committees from Ravenna, Hudson, Bedford, Ac. met him, but when tho ears reached Ra- ^ venna, "a mighty mass of people" had gathered. Judge Drayton spoke, The citizens gave Kossuth $300, as other points had dono where lie had stopped. At Hudson, the Magyar found liissystem over-taxed, 0 and was too feeble to speak. Gen. Wilson headed the p committee from Cleveland, where the reception was beyond any tiling ever heard of "'mcmg the Lukes." Kossuth 1ms run the Oiiioan's stark mad, and if ho has a common share of the weakness of humanity, his head will bo turned by these demonstrations, and he must become as crazed as a March hare. He seems so far, determined not to turn fool because his hosts aro, fir he never lets t'.iem forget the cause of Hungary, and pockets freely all the dimes, which an over-heated enthusiasm tenders him.' May lie never cross Mason 'j and Dixon's line in his triumphal rides and exciting j demonstrations. How it Works. If there is a man on the face of the earth, that can g call our governmental machinery one of right, justice | and equality, after reflecting upon the Christiana niur- j ders, in which a citizen of one State, is shot dead like j g a dog, by an unbridled mob of another, while in pursuit ^ ^ of lils property and enforcing a right guaranteed by the j Q Constitution, and made plcnopotential by a patchwork I ? called a fugitive Slave Bill?reflecting also upon the j Dretericcs jumped up by all the State authorities to savo | the guilty from their doom?the sham trial aud acquittal in the Superior Court?their subsequent arraignment before tho Stato Court?the bribery, corruption, and perjury practised to shield tho culprit?the accused , ~ turned loose "unwhipped of justice"?all the solemn | 11 forms of law made to be unmeaning mockery?wo say, J j; fl*there is a man on the face of the earth who can call j { this goverumeut one of right, justice and equality, after j v seriously reflecting 011 these things, that man has an ; . imagination capable of anything, even to iraagiuo him- i self warm and comfortable by the side of Sir John , 11 Franklin, or 011 the top of the highest iceberg3 in the li Arctic Ocean. j j< Our readers are awaro of those cases boforo the Uni-1 ? ted Suites Court, involving the charge of Treason.? ; j When this Court dismissed the accused, they wcro ; handed over to the Stato Courts of Pennsylvania, to an-: ' Hwcr to the charge of murder.

We commend to the attention of every reaer, the following extracts from Mr. Brent's Report: "In this connection I will also state, that a w weeks before the trial. JVter Washington rid John Clark, two important witnesses for the iroseention escaped from prison without breakup a lock or tiring any force, as proved on the rial by a witness; and though I cheerfully acquit lie marshall of all privity with their escape, yet he fact remains, that there was treachery on the J art of some officer within the wall? of the pris- 4 n. Another remarkable fact was the corrup ion oi a government witness, by ttie name 01 larvy Scott, a free negro, who had thrice testb ied?once at Christiana, once at Lancaster, and nceat Philadelphia, to the fact of being an oyeritnoss to the murderer of Mr. Corsuch; and iow on this trial, influenced by bribes or some ither corrupt consideration, when placed on the tand by the United States, opouly confessed hat he had thrice committed perjury, and then wore on this trial that he was not present and :new nothing about the affair, which peijury ras received with open applauses in the court oom. Again: the cuuucil for the defence ap>lied to the court for an order to bringout some wenty-four of the negroes, to see which of them ould be identified as participants in the treason, >y Henry It.
