, boat again .put out to sea. At 2 o’ clock, owing to some difficulty with the suction pipe, the fire was all put out; and in consequence of the heavy sea, the large stove chimney pipe fell overboard. Fire was again ignited, and sails were made from the awning; but was found that the boat was drift ing on the breakers on the Long-Island shore. The boat was then to the eastward of the Floating Light, and every exertion was making to get her back to port. It was soon discovered the |>oat was on fire, and an alarm was given that the boat was inflames. All hands repaired forward, and were engaged iu throwing over wood. The fire gained rapidly, and soon made its ap pearance through the deck, port holes, and cabin windows. Signals of dis tress were hoisted; but the sea run so high that they were not observed by the Revinue Cutter or the pilot-boats, which were in sight. It was discov ered that the boat would soon sink or biow up, notwithstanding the exertions of all on board. The boats were let down, and 39 in number got on board, and were towed by the steam-boat; for about twenty .minutes she was going rapidly, her engines working, and the boat enveloped in flames. They con tinued to.,be towed by the boat, and did not cut from her until it was ex- ected she would blow up, her engine cing on the high-pressure principle.- They were soon after discovered by Capt. Cahoone, of the Cutter, who immediately came to their assistance, and took them on board at seven o’ clock, just before a violent squall came on, which must have sunk the boats, and all have perished. The Cutter had to cruise until twelve o’clock, after which they were all brought to the city. The steam boat pursued her course for about an hour after they left her in flames, with her machinery going until she sunk, in about ten fathoms water. Providen tially, the steam-boat did not take the passengers of the George Canning on been board, as was contemplated. Had , she done so, the boats could not have takeu all on board, & there must have a great destruction of lives. The $ passengers state that no blame can be | attached to the captain, pilot, or crew, as they made every exertion to save the vessel. DANIEL O’CONNELL, Esq. This gentleman, a Catholic—of course a warm advocate for Catholic emancipation, and no great friend to Wellington and Peel, w'as elected, at the late Hustings for the county of Clare, a member of Parliament, though opposed by the Rt. Hon. Vessey Fitz gerald, who is also a friend to Catho- lie emancipation, but who rendered himself unpopular by joining the ad ministration. The Priests in expecta tion of a triumph, stood by the polls in full Canonicals with crufixes in their hands. The chairing of Mr. O’C. is thus described in the London Times of July 14.—Charleston Obs. Chairing of Mr. O'Connell.—'The ' town of Ennis remained extremely crowded since Saturday, the freehold ers residing at any distance having all remained for the chairing. Twelve was the hour appointed for its taking place, and at that time the town was one dense mass. The chair, about B half past one, was drawn up to Mr. O’Connell’s lodgings. On taking his <«eat, Mr. O’Connell’s was loudly cheered—he addressed a few words to the people, exhorting them to be. peaceable. He wore the medal of the order of Liberators suspended on a broad green ribband. On his right side stood Mr. O’Gorman, and on liis left, Mr. Steele—the remaining space in the car w’as filled by his principal fi-iends, who assisted him in the con test. The procession then moved on with the greatest regularity and qui etness in the following order:— Roman Catholic clergymen on horse back, followed by about 2,000 free holders, walking arm-in-arm; theqthe tradesmen, bearing, first two neatly executed models of a plough and har row, hung with ears of young corn, and numerous flags, emblematic of I their several crafts; then a large par ty bearing as flags the handkerchiefs which have been so fashionable du ring the contest, representing the ‘'‘Man of the people” in the act of speaking; these were again followed by an immense body of freeholders; after whom came the chair; this was followed by at least 5,000 people. In this order they proceeded round “fhe town in perfect ailerjeo; not a voice was raised, excepting when the chair stopped, and the signal given for a general cheer. The whole town was decorated with green flags and' boughs of trees—some of the narrow streets looked more like groves than streets. Mr. O’Connell, long before he arrived at Clare, frequently ap pealed to the people, to allow him to leave the chair they were drawing, and to take his carriage which was in waiting, but it was uot till they had passed two miles beyond it that they permitted him to do so, with many en treaties that he would suffer them to draw him into Limerick. As the cavalcade approached with in five miles of Limerick, small par ties began to appear who had come from thence; these began rapidly to increase for the space of two miles, and at that distance there could not be less than 40,000 people in waiting to escort to their city the first Cathol ic returned to the United Parliament since the signing of the treaty at its gate. These were principally com posed of the different trades—each craft bearing, as they did in Ennis, their own banners, most of them ac companied by a band of music, and carrying white wands ornamented with laurel leaves. On every part of the road where two trees happened to stand opposite, a festoon of green leaves inter.woven with flowers was hung across the road, and where they could not be found, large trees, some forty feet high, were planted for the purpose. The Garryowen Boys mus tered in great force; they mounted a large tree, nearly 30 feet high, in the branches of which sat a merry pi per; this was sefely secured on a car, and drawn by a horse. In Limeric we found every shop closed and the win dows thronged with spectators. On the spot where the terminaticn of Thoraond Bridge, on the Shannon, divides the counties of Limerick and Clare, and immediately on the spot where a square monument records the signature of the treaty of Limerick oa its smooth tablet, a triumphal arch was thrown across the street. Here Mr. O’Connell was presented with a wreath of laurel and shamrocks, and bonquets of ribbands, by the different bodies of tradesmen, while two large cannons discharged at the moment an nounced his entrance to the city of Limerick. The uew Members of Par liament addressed the people at great length, on the infraction of the cele brated treaty, which was signed where they stood. They then pro ceeded across the narrow bridge (Thomond,) the scene of so many con tests between^lhe Irish and the Eng lish, and entered the English town; thence over the new bridge to Swin burne’s hotel where the procession stopped. Opposite the Commercial- buildings, winch were crowded with spectators, they also halted, and here again Mr. O’Connell addressed the multitude. Several of the ships in the river had their eolours flying, and discharged their guns. Rain Storm hi England From the 12th to the 15th of July, the neigh borhood of Manchester was visited by the most boisterous and disagreeable weather ever known at that season of the year. Owing to the quantity of rain that fell the rivers in the neigh borhood overflowed their banks. In the neighborhood of Stockport and Didsbury, two or three buildings were swept away, and a vast'deal of injury was done to the stocks and machinery of several factories situated by the river side. Several bridges were al so swept away, and the roads in many places became impassable. The whole of the lower parts of Cheshire, appear to have experienced almost a second deluge. In the neighborhoods of Warburton and Partington, the ap pearance was that of one wide expanse of water, and parties might be Seen in boats sailing over corn-fields, which a few hours before promised to yield an abundant harvest. It is supposed, fifom a deliberate computation, that on the banks of the Weaver Naviga tion, extending from Frodsham Bridge to Northwich, not less than 300 acres of hay grass, have been destroyed or swept awqy. In the vicinity of Liver pool less damage had been done, tho’ many of the meadows were entirely overflowed. At the Stafford Bridge, near Chester, all the surrounding meadows were under water, and men were wading in the fields up to their middle, with ropes in their hands, and endeavoring to secure the cattle.— The river Weaver, at Northwich, ro§£ so high as undermine the ware house of R. P. Hafieid, Esq. salt merchant, which fell with i tremend ous crash. The lower stories of the houses were filled and stocks in the shop cellars floating about. A house in Witton-street fell down, and the water finally became so deep that boats were procured and launched iu the streets, & many of the inhabitants Were rescued from the 2d stories of their dwellings by meari^of ladders. In the vicinity of Glasgow immense quan tities of rain^fell, but the damage to the crops was not so great as in some other parts of the country. The flood in some placts had been attended with the loss of life—several dead bodies had been picked up. Sudden Death.—We are called to the mournful task of recording the sud den death of Mr. Stephen St. John, one of our most respectable inhabitants, who in a very solemn and unex pected manner was called to try the realities of another world during the last week. Up to the hour of his death Mr. St. John was in the full en joyment of health and all the comforts of life. Hia constitution was uncom monly vigorous, and his manner of life had been such as to render him as it. were secure from the sudden attacks of the insidious foe. But how frail the tie that binds us to this world.» A- bout five o’clock on the evening of his ' death he took his gun and went in pur suit of a flock of pigeons which he had discovered at a short distance. At evening he had not returned; and fear ful of some accident, search was made, and his lifeless body was found in a field adjoining this office, his gun lying a few feet distant. There was no ap pearance of a single struggle; he had fallen in a fit, and in a moment per haps, the silver cord was broken.— The jury of inquest returned a verdict of “Death by the visitation of God.” The age of Mr. St. John was G6. He belonged to one of our most respecta ble families, and has often enjoyed the suffrages of his fellow citizens for im portant offices. Under any circum stances his death would have been widely felt, but its suddenness renders it still more deeply afflicting to his connexions and the extensive circle of his acquaintance.—Norwalk Caz. Villany.—On Wednesday morning, between 7 and 8 o’clock, two men entered the broker’s office of Mr. Chapin, William street, corner of Wall street, with the intention, as it would seem, of committing a robbery. A lad, perhaps 15 years of age, had just* opened the office. One of the villains kept his station near the en trance to the office, which is in the basement story and four or five steps lower than the side-walk, while the other after closing the back door, stepped around the counter, and draw ing a sword from his cane presented it at the lad with some menacing lan guage which is not recollected. The lad cried murder and instantly rushed out at the window, which fortunately was open, and kept op his cry. The villain, not less alarmed, dropped his cane and sword and fled, while his companion followed on crying, stop thief! stop thief! The main actor, however, was taken, as the associate probably will be. In the course of the day he was brought before the po lice where he was examined. He claimed to be a watchmaker, from Philadelphia. He gave his name as Thomas J\I. Smith, but Hays, who re members the physiognomy of the cul prit, believes his name to be Deans. He was fully committed for trial. Jour, of Commerce. Value of the British Colonies.—Mr. Mac Queen, in a letter to the Duke of Wellington, whreh appears in Blackwood's Magazine, says: “The following facts arc with deference, submitted to your grace". These pos sessions take from Gf-eat Britain and Ireland, annually, for their internal consumption above 4,000,000/. the produce of the British soil and of Bri tish industry; they export annually to Great Britain, and Ireland,‘agricul tural produce to the value of 9,000,- 000/. exclusive of freights and charges nearly 3,000,000/. additional, all of which latter*um, together with tvfo- thirds of the produce, is again expend ed in this country on British labor and British supplies. These possessions give pertinent employment in the di rect trade with the mother country, to 260,000 tons of British shipping*— The mother country draws nearly 7, 000,000/, of revenue, annually, from their produce consumed in it, and they add, yearly, nearly 3,000,000/. to the exports from Great Britain to foreign countries.” Outrage.—A man calling himself Hamilton, alias Wilson, &c. who has been delivering lectures in the west ern country, has been convicted of a brutal assault on a young female, and sentenced by Judge Howell, at Canan- dagua, N. Y. to five years hard labor in the State Prison, at Auburn. The Brain.—This organ is larger in man than in other known animal.— Its general weight is, according to Soemering, 21b. 5 1 -2 oz. to 31b. 3 3-4 oz. I have weighed several at 41b. The Brain of Lord Byron (without its membranes) weighed Gibs, and con tained more medulary substance than ordinary.—Dewhurst's Essay on the for mation of Man. FATTENING SWINE. According to the opinion of the Rev. Mr. Elliot, the best time in the year to shut up hogs to fatten them, is the month of August. 1 rather prefer the month of September, when it may be depended on, that they will not suffer at all by the heat in their confinement; and there will be time enough to make them fat, before the weather becomes extremely cold. He that altempts to fatten his hogs in winter will be a loser; for it has been found by long experience, that they do not gain in their flesh near as fast in a frosty, as in a temperate sea son. I therefore take care to get them fit for the knife by jthe begin ning or middle of December, and I should choose to kill them still earlier, were it not for the advantage of keep ing the lean part of the pork for some time without salting; as it most com monly may be done by exposing it to frost, in the cbolest part of a bouse.— But a very important question is, what food and what management is best in fattening swine? Peas answer well, when the price of them is low. But I ain constrained to give the pre ference to Indian Corn. Let them be fed in September with green ears from the field. There is nothing they will devour more greedily than this corn, and even the cobs with it. In Indian harvest, the unripe ears should be picked out, and given to the hogs that are fatting, without delay; or as fast as they can eat them; for it will do them four times as much good in this state, as it will after it is dried, it being difficult to dry it without its turning mouldy or rotton; so that they will scarcely eat any bf it iu this state, unless they be kept shorter of food than fatting hogs should be. After the unripe corn is used, that which is ripened must be given them. If it be thought most convenient to feed them with corn of the preceding year, it should not be given them with out soaking, or boiling, or grinding in to meal. For they will not perfect ly digest the hard kernels; it being of ten too hard for their teeth. It has been thought by good judges, that the corn will beat least a sixth-part more advantage to the swine for soaking it in water. But there is, if I mistake not, still more advantage in grinding it. W,hatnew corn is given them, may be in ears, as it is not hardened enough for grinding. I know of nothing that will fatten hogs faster than dough of me s al and water. But as this is expensive food, the dough may be mixed with boiled potatoes, or boiled carrots.— They eat these mixtures as well as dough by itself; and it appears to make no material difference in the fattening. In this mixture barley meal will answer instead of Indian; which should be attended to in our more northern parts, where two bush els of barley may be as easily raised, as one of Indian corn. Both kinds of meal I have found to be a good mix ture with boiled potatoes;but it should by all means be a little salted to give it a good relish. While hogs are fatting, little or none of the wash from tlie kitchen should be given them. Their drink should be fair water, which they rel ish better than any other drink a good deal, when they are fed only on corn, dr stiff dough. To prevent measles and other dis orders in hogs, while they are fatting, and to increase their health and appe tite, a dose or two of brimstone, or an timony, given them in their dough, is useful, and should not be neglected. Some change of food may be advi sable, in every stage of their exist ence, as it always seems to increase their appetite. But while they are fatting, laxative food In general shouts be avoided, as these animals are sel dom known to suffer by costiveness, especially when they are lull fed, but often from the contrary disorder. If they chance to be costive, a little rya will help them. In feeding, steady care should bq taken that not one meal should be missed, nor mis-timed, and their wat er should never be forgotten. They should always have as much food as they will eat up clean; But never more than that quantity, lest they de file it and it be wasted. A little at a time and often, is a good rule. I. their skins be scurvy, or inclined to nianginess, a little oil poured upon their backs, will cause it to come off. And some say a small mess of rye now and then, as a change in their food, is good against these and other disorders. If the issues in the fore legs should chance to get stopped, every attempt , to fatten them will be in vain. These, therefore, should be watched; and if found to be stopped, they should be rubbed open \yth orn cob. Rubbing and currying their bides very frequently, is of advantage to keep up perspiration. It is grateful to the animals, as well as conducive to their health and growth. A prop er scrubbing post in the middle of their pen will not be amiss. And du- : ring the whole time of their flitting, they should have plenty of litter.—- They will lie the more dry and warm and will be more than paid for, by the increase of good manure.—J)eanc.
