      Tot Destruction Of The Ocean Monarch, Pa...

      TOT DESTRUCTION OF THE OCEAN MONARCH , PACKET-SHIP , BY FIRE 6 BEAT LOSS OF LIFE , The Liverpool Meecokt of the 25 th ult ., contains the following . particulars of this deplorable catastrophe : Tho splendid American ship , Ocean Monarch , of I 860 ton * burden , belonging to Train ' s tine of Boston packets , which left the Mersey early yesterday morning , in splendid trim , with about 360 persons on board / including tho crew and emigrants , ii now a floating hulk , burnt to the water's edge , ana , it it melancholy to add , that , as near as can be calculated , about 100 of the passengers are lost .

      Mr Llttledale , who Is tha commodore of the Rnyal Mersey Yacht Club , had been at Beaumaris regatta , which took place on Monday last , and be was returning in his yacht to Liverpool , with a party of friends .. About twelve o'clock , wbsn near the Great Ormshead , they observe ** the Ocean Monarch about five or six miles to the eattward of the Ormshead , in Abergele Buy , betweea the Ormshead and Abergele . Mr Llttledale and his friends were admiring the beauty of the splendid ship as she was pursuing hor course to the Atlantic . Oa a sudden tha Ocean Monarch waa observed to put ap her helm , at if returning to Liverpool . A flag of distress was

      immediately hoisted , and in a few seconds fUmes were observed to bunt out abeft , The ship was lying tight 1 b tha course of tbe ; acht , and Mr Llttledale immedie tely bore away for her . On nearing her , although there was a stiff bteeza blowing , with a heavy swell , the boat of tbe yacht was lowered , and proceeded to the ship , for tho purpose of rendering what assistance tbe could . Of course , with the swell on it would have been next to certain deitruction to the yacht bad she been ran alongside tbe ship , but tbe exertions of Mr Llttledale were of the noblest description , and ho has the satisfaction of kaowing that ho has been tbe meats of rescuing thirtytwo persons from a watery grave .

      Tho flames were bursting witb immense fury from the stern and contra of tbe veiiel . So great was tha beat in these parts that tho passengers , male and female , men , women , and children , crowded to the fore part ef tbe vessel . Their piercing heart-rending shrieks for aid were carried by the breeze across tbe blue waters . In their maddened despair women jumped overboard with their offspring in tbefr arm * , and sunk to rise no more , Men followed their wives in frenry und ware lost . Groups of men , women , and children also precipitated themselves into the water , in tbe vain hope of self-preservation , but the waters closed over many ef them for ever . No p ° n can describe this awful scene . The flames continued to rage with increased fury . In a few minutes

      tbs mlzenmast went overboard—a few minutes more , and the mainmast shared tbe : same late . ; There yet remained the foremast . Aa the fire was making its way to the ford part of the vessel , the passengers and crew of course crowded still further forward . Tothejibboom they elung in clusters as thick as they could pack—even one lying over another . At length the foremast went overboard , snapping the fastenings of the jibboom , which , with its load of human being " , dropped . into the water , amidst the most heartrending screams , both ef those on board and those who were falling into tbe water . Soma of the poor creatures were enabled again to reach tbe vessel , others floated away oa spars , but many met with a watery grave .

      The fire broke out about twelve o clock . Captain Murdoch received the first intimation from the steward , who said there was a great deal of heat coming up the ventilator . He added ( what afterwards proved to be tbe fact ) that he believed one of tho passengers had made a fire in a wooden ventilator on the third deck , which ran through the captain ' s state worn , The man bad mis . taken the ventilator for a chimney . Tbe captain Imme dlately gave orders for the extinguishing of the fire , but it was , alas ! too late . Tfaase who bave seen the fittings , up of the passengers' berths of an emigrant sblp are aware that they are made of thin deals aud spars , easily Ignited ; and fire having once gained tbe mastery there ia littla chance of extinguishing it . The captain

      attempted to put the ship up to the wind , so . as to keep , if possible , the fire abaft , but be found ho could not accomplish this , and be immediately let go tbe two anchors . From tbe great consternation in which the passengers were , ot course all control over them was gone . The captain threw overboard to the poor fellows in tbe water all the moveable spars he could find , and afterwards flung a spar into the water and followed- It , Several persons followed him , and se ' zed bold of tbe same spar . He entreated some of them to let go or ell would perish , and he showed them the example by swimming to a plank , by which he was enabled to sustain himself for about twenty minutes in the water , when he wa « picked up by the yacht .

      In about an hour and a half after the yacht reached the vessel , the B « zilian steam-frigate Affonso , which was out on a trial trip , came up . She anchored immediately to windward , and close to the burning vessel . She got a rope made fast to tbe Ocean Monarch , and by tbe use of the said rope , bar boats were enabled to go backwards and forwards to the burning vessel with great facility , and by this means a large number of persons were saved . The Prince of Wales , steamer which was on ber passage hence to Bangor , came up shortly after , wards , and , with the New World , packet ship , bound for New York , Bint boats to the ressua of tha paasengers , and were tbe means of saving a large number . The following are the names of the persons rescued by the Queen of tbe Ocean : —

She was iu a state of great distress at ( he fate of her poor cbl'dren , who were all low . 0 a reaching the Mersey , arrangements wi re made for accommodating those who were friendless and penniless at tbe workboute . for tbe night .

      We understand that , as soon as the alarm was given , the twobeats belonging to the ship were lowered . The mate , witb some of tbe crew and passengers , got Into one . A portion of tha crew mi passengers got Into tho other , and they setoff for Liverpool . They were , however , picked up by a smack . Had they made ) tj Mr LittiedaVs yacht , placed their living freight on board of her , and returned again to the vessel , tbe loss of life would probably h « e been much less . The stewardess lost her life in courageously attempt , ing to get tha powder out of tho cabin . There were about 25 bs . weight on board , and when she went below ta get it , it i s supposed she was suffocated . The powder eiploaed with a report like that of a cannon , but , not being confined , and there being no person at that part of tbs vessel , no damage , it is supposed , was done by the explosion ,

      At the time orders were given to let go the anchors , a numb r of women and children Wire seated In some way near the cable , and were drawn by it Into tbe water . Sixteen persons arrived last night at Seacombe , having been picked up by a fishing-boat . Messrs Parry , of the hotel , treated tbem in a very hospitable manner . They crossed to Liverpool by tbe eight o ' clock boat , Mr Baker , the celebrated comedian , was on board , and a collection wai mads amongst the passengers for the rell « f of the poor sufferers , who had lost tbeir all , and £ 2 li „ or 2 s . 9 d . for each of tbe cixtien , were collected and divided amongst tbem . Amongst them were six stamen . One poor Irtohman and his sister were also amongst the number . Tha sister was rescued by the brother seising her by tha hair of the bead just as she was slaking .

      When they landed at the pier-head , some of tbeir me ? s mates , who bad arrived in tbe yacht , greeted tbe new comers in the most tender terms , and the meeting of these hirdy sons of Neptune , after tbeir' hair-breadth ' soape , ' is described as one of the most effecting . The men actually hugged each other ia a -rough but he-nest embrace , and tears were drawn from many of tbe spectators who witnessed the touching scene . The men inquired eagerly alter others of their comrades , and tears , both ot joy and sorrow , ran down tbeir cheeks . The Brazilian frigate Affonso was out oa a pVeawe excursion ; she was commanded by the Marquis de Lis

      boa . There was also en board tbe Prince dc Jolnvllle , bis lady and snlte , the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale , tbe Brazilian Minister , tha Chevalier de Lisboe , Admiral Grenfell and daughters , and other distinguished individuals ; When the Aflwnso discovered the Ocean Monarch , four beats were at once lowered and were soon followed by the largo paddle-box boat . ' Tho Marquis de Llaboa jumped into one , and Admiral Grenfell inta the otb . tr , and were untiring in thtlr exertions to save the poor petple . The Prince de Joluville stripped his coat , and was particularly assiduous la assisting the passengers on boird the frigate .

      The passengers brought up their boxes from below , and broke them open on the deck . They took out all that was valuable in the sfaaps of money or other articles of value , but the confusion was so great that a quantity of gold and silver waa thrown about tha deck . Joshua Wilson lost hia wife and child . They were lowered towards the boat b y a rope , but ' tho poor wo man could not retain her hold , and she wiih the child were carried away . One person on board lost £ 800 aud his wife and child . Amoogsi tbosesaved were Elward Jones , lost his wife Mary aivi £ 60 in money ; John Bell , a turner , lost bis wife and £ 80-his wife bad a lever watch on her person ; Mrs Sale ( James Sale , her husband , Sarah Sale , her only child , and Samuel P . Sale , her brother , were lost ); Jane and Elizabeth Murphy , of Klllarney ; John and Mary Warburton ; Qeorgo Jones and Theodosla Jones from Bllston ; Andrew Oulton , from Dublin

      D mlel L ? aty , about twelve years of age , and his sister , about seven or eigbt years wera in the frigate They were quite naked when taken on board , ' Mrs Sale is much contused . She was brought en shore tbisraoroi nTf with all the others , from the frigate , including the man with a broken leg . Mm GranfWl has taken charge if a poor child for whom no claimant baa been found . The Affonso rescued iu all about 160 persons , including 13 seamen . One poor women was on the landing-stage bemoaning the Ion of her two children ; and we have heard

      That A Boy, And Girl, Unclaimed, Are Sti...

      that a boy , and girl , unclaimed , are still on board tho frigate . A noble fellow , a foreigner , whose noma we could not ascertain , went to the wreck when there was little hopu of saving any more , and stuck to the hull of the vessle till every soul bad left her . It is said this praiseworthy individual , by his own hand , lowered 100 persons to the boats below . On landing , the passengers presented a sad and pttl . able spectacle . Many of the men and women were atmost in a state of nudity . Seme of them had tbeir heads bandaged , and some their arms , legs , and other parts of their bodies , bound op , having been injured by their coatoo : with spars in the water , by knocking against the boats , and lu other ways . There is every reason to fear that the number lost will be about 100 .

      The following persons are in theNortbcrn Hospital : — Anna Roper ( besides other injuries ) , contused leg , very badly bruised , and child . This woman took ber child in her arms , seized hold of a rope , and jumped overboard from the vessel . She held on by the rope till the boat came to her rescue , Michael Gleeson , in addition to otber Injuries , very severe laceration In tbe hand . His brother uninjured , Is alio iu the hospital . Margaret Kershaw with the child ; she Is nearly drowned , and is Buffering from immersion in tbe water . Several persons were taken to the Birkenhead hospital . Michael Gleeson states that there were several per . sons on board tbe Affonio with tbeir arras and legs fractured , besides being otherwise icjured . A steamer csme to the side and took three surgeons on board tbe Affonso , to attend to those cases which could not ba removed . One poor man received a compound fracture of the leg .

      All tbe sufferers , the greater portion of whom were emigrants from tbe south of Ireland , have lost their luggage , clothes , and everything which they possessed . Many of them when landed were nearly naked , ( From the second edition of the Liverpool Mtmry . ) When the vessel sank there was no one on board of her . Mr J . F . Froes , the Brszlllan consul , with all tha officers on board the Affonso , gave np their clothes to tbe poor creatures . We have been Informed by one of tha passengers , that a poor woman , on board tha Ocean Monarch , in a state of frenzy , cut her threat , and then jumped overboard .

      The following ia a correct statement of the number of the crew and passengers , as obtained from the chitf mate , and which may be relied upon : —The crew , in . eluding the captain , consisted of 43 persons ; cabin passengers , 9 ; second-cabin passenger * , 17 ; steerage passengere , 880 ; total , 339 . 200 ) persona arrived here last uight , and 20 wero taken by the Prince of Walts , steamer , to Bangor . This makes a total of 229 saved ; to that about 170 persons must have been lost . With respect to the conduct of tho captain on tbe oo . casfon , we last night heard many reports of a very dis . tressing character , aud we abstained from giving

      currency to tbem ; but further Inquiry this morning only confirms what we heard last night . All with wh ? m We bave converged describe his conduct as most unaearaanlike and cowardly . If half of what" we have hvad be true , a most searching inquiry should be made Into his conduct , many lives having been sacrificed ia consequence of hit leaving tbe ship , instead of remaining with his crew to endeavour to save tbe lives of those , who had been entrusted to bis care . He is spoken of in terms of the deepest reprobation , aud one of the passengers declared te our reporter this morning , that his conduct was such , that if he had had a pistol be would have shot him through the head .

      Another of the persons saved says that the fire first proceeded from the spirit store . The alarm was given about a quarter to eleven , end smoke came at that time from the store room hatch way . Some water was thrown upon it , but shortly afterwards all tbo passengers left tbe cabin , as it was Impossible to stay there . There was a very strong smell , and a vapour whieh appeared to proceed from burning liquors . About half an hour after tho alarm was given , a boat was loweied , and several persons- —whether of tbe crew or otherwise is not known —went in it , Tho captain left about that time , and was not seen afterwards . Tbe aucbors were thrown about tbe time he left . Two of the ship ' s boats were burned ,

      as the crew rrd gone away , and there was no one to get tbem out ; in fact , as our informaat states , there was no one to give any directions or to manage the ship . Wa have heard that the statement as to fire being first seen in th » cabin where tbe steerage passergera were is fnsorrect , as there was no smoke at all from that part of the v < ustl ,-tbe fire came in the first instance from ncr the steering wheel , where tbe store raom is situate . Mr and Mrs Dow , of Glasgow , had a most miraculous escape . They were for nearly two hours on pieces of timber under the bow of tbe vessel , and were several times drives from their position by the force of the waves , but regained it . Tbey were ultimately taken on beard one of tbe Alfonso's boats .

      The vessel waa tho property of Messrs Enoch Train and Co ., of Boston , and was fully Insured , Her cargo con . slstod ot 700 tons of iron , a large quantity of salt , and some dry goods . We learn that , In additloa to thu number stated , there were sixteen persons picked up by a smack . A bag belonging tea eabispasoeager named James K , Fellows , of Lowell , Massachusetts , was thrown over , board during the burning of fte ship , and was seen to float for a considerable dlstanca . No doubt the bat ; will be picked up , and Its valuable contents restored to the unfortunate owner . rURTHEE FABTICO & AB 8 . —TUB BOEQLON ' s STATtMCHT .

      ( From the Daily News . ) Mr Ellis , surgeon on board the Ocean Monarch , spa \ hs particularly as to tha conduct of the captain . He acquits him altogether of the culpability which has betnebuga ]

      That A Boy, And Girl, Unclaimed, Are Sti...

      against him by a contemporary ^ opinion the captain and mate did oil thai It was posilble tor men to do under the circumstances . He stuck to the ship until the fragments of ; he blazing mainmast were tailing about him : he did not leave until It wdb ah Imposslbll'ty any longer to stand the heat between the trio fires racing faro and aft . He had great difficulty ; In fact , in saving hia own life at the last , and he certainly save ) tbe live * of others In bis instructions to these who hesitated to throw themselves into tbe wafer , and there trust to tbe spars . Mr Ellis was picked up by a pilot toat out of one of tbn Ocean Monarch ' s boat ! ( the mate ' s ) , almost swamping at the time with heavy « eas , and was afterwards placed on board a Wexford smack , tbe Queen ,

      Mr Ellis states that the fire first appeared in tho cabin , and he therefore questions the statement that it was occasioned by the carelessness of an emigrant in tha steerage . Mr Ellis was sitting in the sabin , reading , at twelve o'clock In the day , when the second steward rushed in and said that tbe ship was on fire . A lady , named Aadrereg , was in tbe cabin , also reading , at tha same time , Hebellevos that this unfortunate lady , with her daughter , a child nine years old , hava been lost . Mr Andrews , the husband of this lody , hos been save i . At tbe time trie fire broke out a great number of the emigrants wera lying , sea sick , in their berths , and he attributes the subsequent eonfuslon to the alarm produced by these running naked on deck . In this way many of the children mra lost . Tbs tug-boat , which took tbem out of the river , bad not lefe them half an hour when tho first sracko was seen ; bad she stayed a little wbile longer with them every human beiug would have been saved .

      KABBATIVES OF TBE PASSENGERS , Simuel Moody , one of the crew , states that lu fifteen minuses after the fire was reported it was burning right through tbe deck and cabins , and tbe flames so rapidly spread that Wm . Walker , the man at the wheel , was compelled precipitately to abandon his post . The con-( union and noise were terrlfio , and Moody himself , in tbe general terror , leaped overboard , and swam to tbe boat which the yacht had just put out ; He afterwards returned on board of the ill . fated vessel , and assisted till he was of co further use . He adds his belief that if the passengers bad compiled with tbe captala ' s wish , and remained calm and quiet , scarcely a tingle life would bave been sacrificed .

      Tho Prince ef Wales , steamer , arrived at Liverpool shortly after five o ' clock on Saturday afternoon . Tho gallant captain , who stood on the paddle-box , was hailed with a round of . hearty and spontaneous cheering , a gratifying and becoming tribute to the exertions of himself and orew . It was found that the great majority whom the vessel bad been the means of saving had been banded on board the Bnzilian frigate . Tha num . ber & n board the Prince of Wales was nineteen . The poor creatures were huddled together for warmth la the engine-room , Tbey spoke in high terms of the kindness with which they had beau treatel oa board the Prince of Wales . One of the party bad been picked up floating on

      a spur , nearly three miles from the scene of tbe disaster , S . Fielding , of GIossop , another of her passengers , was the very last picked from tbe burning wreck . He is an aged man , and seeing no bops of safety he took up tho girl Roper in his arms , and lodged near tbe bow of the vessel , awaited bis fate . Af : er dreadful suspense , the brave Jerome , whom so many tongues bave blessed , came to his deliverance , and lowered him , with the child In bit arms , into a'boat below . The old man ' s bands were seriously burnt . At an early stage of tbe calamity tha clothes of some of the females took fire , and tbe poor creatures ran madly amongst their unhappy comrades , huddled together near the bow .

      On Friday evening , we ( the Livwpo-. r . Jo usual ) visited Regent street and the other streets at tbe north end of the town , where the unfortunate survivors have taken up their timporary residence . Nvver did we wit . uess such squalid misses of human beings as these surv . ' . vers present . Most of them are women , some with burns on their necks and should ; rs , produced by tbe blazing masts and spars , and others with black eyes and contused wounds upon various parts of their persons canted by frequent surges oa the tops of the waves against brobsn spats and the hu'l of the burning wreck , We conversed witb a young unmarried women , from the county Leitrim , who nae almost dead when brought on board the Alfonso , and certainly her account of hir miraculous mcue Is most surprising . She stated to us

      that long after tbe fire bad broken out somebody on deck—she thinks a female—tumbled her overboard , probably thinking that death by drowning woull be a far preferable death for her than death by burning ; but more probable still , the action was prompted by those maddening , and almost inexplicable , feelings by wMcti persona in sight of dreadful and Impending ruin are agi . tated , The ysung woman , however , after plunging into fie water , was borne upon the tops of the waves . She seemi to havo floated . Sometimes she was ascending , and at others descending . At length she caught hold of a hand . It was tbe hand of a dying woman , Tbey

      seized each other with a sort of death-grasp , and for some time It was a kind of struggle with them as to who should b 3 the conqueror or last survivor of the two . The dying woman , however , who had been shattered about tbo bead , frum having boen ' no doubt frequently dliven against the bull of tbe burning vessel , breathed her last . Her head sank , bat her bod ; floa'ed en the witcr . Our female informsnt held on by that dead body , and was absolutely saved by It , It bore her up for a considerable length of time , until at length she was taken ou board thi Al onso , where she was put into a warm bed , and had brandy and other restoratives administered to ber .

      The MHvtaots oi the wreck having lost everything but their lives , humanity is already active in providing tbe means ef alleviating tbeir distress . A subscription Hit was opened on Saturday , iu the Exchange-rooms , Loo or the Parties of Wai . es . — Tha following Is tho report of tbe log of Capt . Dani , commander of the Prince of Wales steamer , bound to Binger , August 24 , 1848 : — - ' When outside tbe light-ship I discovered a ship en fire , bearing about N . W . 12 miles . I immediately hauled op far her , and ordered ono of the boats to be got ready . In going along I discovered a boat with four hands in It . I took her in tow , and in a abort time after I saw a man fl atlng on part of the wreck , I sent tbe boat to pick him up , and got him on board . At this time there was a great deal of the wreck floating about , I lowered the boat , and sent Mr Batty , the mate , and three handj , to Sv-e if they could pick up any cine alive . As Mr Batty was getting Into the boat he discovered tbe body of a

      child not quite dead , . but too far gone to recover . I then proceeded to the sblp on fire , and got three more passengers that were floating . When I camo up to the ship she was in one flame fore and aft . I did not think it prudent to go alongside of her , but I oame to anchor close ahead of her : at this time the wind was increasing and a heavy sea running , and so much of tbo wreck was banging about tho vessel that tbo boats could not approach her with aafe'y . I then got tho passengers to assist in we i ghing my anchor , and then returned to pick up my own host . I the ? , returned to the ship , and saw from twenty to thirty people under the bowsprit of tha ship . I came to anchor close on ber starboard bow , got lines attached to tbe boata , and saved every one that was on the wreck . At this trying moment Mr Batty was of the greatest service to me , as wore also all tha oth r bands , who cheerfully and willingly assisted in saving all ftey could . —G , Dani , commander of the Prisce of Walessteamer .

      , Capt , MusDocn , —In a letter to the Livibpooi . JodbvaL the writer says : — 'In tho last paragraph but one of your journal of this morning allusion is made to the reports respecting Captain Murdoch . Allow me to state , in a few words , what I know to be true regardlfg this gentleman , The reports to his prejudice bave beos wicked and malicious In tho extreme , I was one of the last on the quarter deck with Captain Murdcch , Throughout this fe & rful affair be displayed tho greatest courage , cnolnefl ' , and preset ce of mind , He was deserted by tho greater part of his seamen , and was rnly assisted by two or three of tbe passengers In tho execution of bis orders . I was , a « I stated , amongst the last , if not tbe last , near tbo captain . Tbe flames were

      ragins fearfully in the vicinity of tbe mainmast . Communication was In a few seconds cut off from the fore part of the ship , and it was only when hemmed in and expo « ed to tbe most feaful ef deaths—that of fire—that Captain Murdoch took to ( he water , I should sey he was the last man to leave that part of the ship , and tvhen h « did leave it he could not have reached ( before , castle hed ha wished it . I f receded him but a few seconds , and leaped into the sea from the bowsprit rigging , having myself been obliged to climb alongside the vessel's bulwarks .

Looke , and W . P . Glbbs , three seamen on board the Ocean Monarch , were examined . They uuwimounly concurred ia exculpating the captain from blame . In other respects their evidence did not supply any material facts to the ample information already given , The subscription in aid of the suffarors by the burning of tbe Ocean Monarch amount to £ 1 , 750 .

      An inquest ou the body of tha female child , name unknowu , landed from the Prince cf Wales , steamer , was held oa Friday morning , at tho Picket-house , MenaLbridge , before the coroner for Anglesey , who took the depositions of four or five of the passengers rescued fto . m the 111 fated vessel , tfee Ocean Monarch , All spoke to tbo breaking out of the fire , its rapid progress , and destructive eff cts , but none could speak as to hew It originated , Tho deceased child was picked up alive by B * tty , chief mate of tbe Prince of Wales , who exerted blmselfgreaUylnone of tbe boats .

      STOCKING-MAKING IN THE UNITED STATES . The following is from a letter publlthed la the Not . tingham Review , Gormanaown , N . America , July 2 , 1818 , It is very neivasary that the workmea ef tbe old couu . try should be male aiqaalnted with tha true atate of things here . It is utterly deplorable to hear tbe lamen . eatton of a many ; they bave been led to believe that they have only to bo landed safe on shore for plenty and prosperity to smile upon them ; but believe me , dear sir difficulties here are more numerous than many arewilling to suppose . I can easily accouat for man look , ing te this country with minds fall of bopa and expects , tion ; neglected and oppressed at home , everythingaround them ( except the bounti-g of nature , which appsar in abundance ) fir < bode a Pttll gloomierfutura the mind , searta by disappointment , aaturally look ' s to-America aa tbe land cf promise .

      Should you think well to came this to be published I have no doubt many will s * y ids too gloomy an ac ! count for America ; to such I have to say , I am sorry I cannot send , In accordanen with truth , something to cheer those who wish to leave their native land because they cannot get an hovest living by their Industry . Many erroneous opinions exist with respect to tbe price of pro . visions in thin locality , Houae-rent is much hi gher than in Nottingham , Groceries are ten per cent , cbeaptr . The idea of cheap proriarens has originated by their being very low out wtat . Two dollars and a half is paid rcr board here ; out west it is not more than one . half chat amount .

      Da « r sir , if I succeed in disabusing the minds of come of my old friends , I shall not have laboured in vain . I do no ' , contend that we aw no better remmmaterl here ; I freely admit that those in wark can do better than in Eagland ; but tbe time i » not far distfint when a portion of those employed in manufactures will have to move to some locality , and cultivate that land ; the Improvements iu machinery will compel them , however reluctant , to change their occupation . The far west oppears to me to be the onl y place for the population that alread y crowd tho large towns and cities , There the soil Is productive in tba extreme ; the rolling prairies decked with nature ' s richest fragrant fl ) wers ; the forest pine rearing his stat . ly form pointing to the bright cloar sky above ; rivulets , brooks , and lakes , abounding witb fieny tribes ; tho wild deer bounding over hill and daleall inviting man to come and parti , k i . of nature ' s abundance iu store for bim .

      TBE INFORMER POWELL , ( F .-om the Jforniwp Post , ) Oa Sunday several meetings of Ciiartist asd Confede . rate clubi were held . Precautions were taken by the police commifsionrrs to prevent disturbance at any of the go . hsrloga . This was thought tho more necessary from the fact of Thomas Powell , tbepersen who gave evidence agaiait tbe Chmigto , 'having been searched after and threatened whh aB * a » lnatloB . A few days back . person oaJed upon MrsLmdley . of 23 . Gloocester-row . Hoxton , and inquired waeth . r Powell lived there .
