After which Mr. George Thompson was intro
duced. He was received with applause and
hisses, but the disturbance was not so great as to
prevent his speaking.
He said he blushed for the city of Boston,
and that acts had been committed here which
made it stink in the nostrils ol humanity.
He abused the Union meeting which was held
in Fanueil Hall, President Fillmore, the South,
the Church, Arc.
He was frequently interrupted in his speech
by indignant hisses and cries.
There would possibly have serious
disturbance had the holding of the meeting been
more generally known.

ACCIDENT IN NEW YORK.
About a quarter past one o'clock yesterday,
Jan. 10, six new buildings in the course of erec
tion in Twenty-first street, between Fifth and
Sixth avenues, fell with a tremendous crash,
carrying with them some thirty or thirty-two
workmen, principally masons and carpenters,
who were employed on them at the time. The
workmen had just returned from their dinners,
and were engaged in topping out the wails and
finishing the roof. The houses were six stole s
high, largo and handsome to out wa’ and appearance,
but built with the most criminal disregard to se
curi’y. The bricks in the walls seemed to have
been merely touched not with mortar, (or there
was scarcely any perceptible adhesion. From
all that we can learn, this defect was the ma n
cause of the accident. The lifeless bodies of six
of the unfortunate men were taken from the ru
ins, and a number of others badly injured. On
ly three hours previous to the crush, the superin
tending architect had given a certificate that the
work was done in a substantial manner, ‘i ns
builder and his foreman have been arrested.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.
We regret to learn that Mr. Tebcou Tutor in
the College at Oxford in this State, committed
suicide on Sunday evening lust, by shooting him
self through the head with a Rifle.
No cause is known for the desperate deed, be
yond a note left on his table in which he stated ns
the reason of his determination, only, that he was
tired of life. He was a young man of great
promise, much beloved, and esteemed by all who
knew him.
His remains passed through this city on Tues
day morning for Savannah, to bis father F. E.
Tebeou, Esq, who had been apprised by Tele
graph of the melancholy occurrence.— Atlanta

THE ATLANTIC.
Much apprehension has arisen in the public
mind respecting the fate of this noble v. s.u I.
It is now twenty-four days since she lift the
—prtrtof Liverpool. The Asia, which left Liver
pool some days after her, arrived on Friday night
but brought no tidings of her. She is not a ves
sel likely to founder at sea, and if any disaster
had overtaken her on the Irish coast, sufficient
time had elapsed before the sailing of the Asia
for her to have brought the intelligence.
“If,” says the Courier, “as we deem it likely
to he the case, her supply of furl failed when
within one or two days’ sail of this coast, it is
not at all singular that she has not been heard
from. At this season of the year, it woujd he a
work ol days for a vessel of the Atlantic’s size
and rig to accomplish even four or five hundred
miles, if indeed lier commander would under,
take such a task. Some years since, while the
steamship Liverpool was on a similar voyage, it
was found when nearly half the passage was
accomplished that her coal would not hold out,
and her commander at once abandoned all hope
of getting his ship to the westward, and turned
her prow to the east.”
We certainly believe, with our contempora
ries of the press, that the Adamic is safe, and
will very shortly be heard of. Shipmasters
generally have no fears of her safety, presum
ing tliat either in consequence of some damage to”
her machinery, or from a failure of her fuel, she
has put back, or gone into the Azores. It is
stated that the owners endeavored on Saturday
to effect an additional insuiauce upon her, but
the Companies to whom they made application
declined. A small amount of insurance was ei
fected by a party having goods aboard of her, at
25 per cent against total loss.— N. Y. Recorder.

(K7"’l he St. Louis Intelligencer of the 7th inst.

49 occurred from sinking, by striking snags and
other obstructions in the river; 13 from collaps
ing flues; 9 from explosions; 8 from collisions;
14 from fire; and 20 from other causes. The
number of boats lost sum up 53. Lives (as near

Important Invention.—An Automaton Seam
stress. —Mr. Allen B. Wilson, of Pittsfield,
! Massachusetts, has recently obtained a patent
i for a machine, by which sewing of all descriptions
“is executed in a very rapid manner, and in fine
ness and strength superior to hand work.
The simplicity of the mechanism, its diminu
liveness, and tho amount of work which it ac
complishes, are truly astonishing. A single mi-
I chine occupies so little space that it can be put
I inside a man’s hat, and yet by the turning of a
! small crank, (he instrument will sew ten times
faster ilmri uny seamstress. It can be used for
any kind of sewing, fine or coarse, or for erf),
broidery. Every part of a man’s dress, coat,
i vest, or pantaloons—button holes excepted—can
1 be made by this machine, also, ladies dresses,
shirt bosoms, caps, collars, &.e. In fact there is
scarce a single branch of needle work to which
this instrument cannot be applied, sowing ten
times faster, finer, and stronger than by hand.
Smith's Rail Road Alarm. —Mr Charles A.
Smith, of Batavia, says the Rochester Democrat,
lias invented an apparatus for ringing an alarm
bell upon railroads, bv which an alarm can be
given at a station, a road or crossing, when the
i cars are a mile distant from the point. By this
means collision may’ be prevented at places
: where two opposite trains cannot lie seen by each
\ other until too late to check the speed. This is
j effected by placing a spring so that the wheels of
the cars pass over it. To this spring is attached
a wire which may be extended to any distance
! upon poles, like telegraph wires, the opposite end
from the spring being attached to a bell, which
will give tho alarm. It has been examined by
many gentlemen connected with the rail roads,
who are much pleased with its operations. The
patentees are about to put one of the machines in
operation upon the Rochester and Buffalo road.
It is simple and effectual, and will no doubt come
j into extensive use.

A New Enterprize. — A book of 550 pages lias
been published in London, with (dates and a map
of North America down to the 4Dlh deg. of nonli
latitude, di tailing a plan of a rail road across
j Nova Scotia and the Canadas from Halifax to the
j Pacific. The idea is magnificent. The route from
< Halifax to Quebec is already surveyed. The
I distance from England to China by this proposed
! road is shown to b ofifteen hundred miles slim ter
1 than the nearest route across the United Slates.
I Tiie cost of the road is estimated at 1 1.000.()()()/,
: averaging 5000/. a mile. To build it 20,001)
convicts are to beset at work at once, paupers
i are to be sent over, and Canada is to be raised
to great dignity in the United Kingdom. Five
I millions of people can be spared from England,
Ireland, ami Scotland, to settle along the route
! and populate it to the Pacific. The scheme is to
| relieve Great Britain of her pauper burdens, re
generate the old monarchy, and establish her
firmly on the Ain lienti continent. Jonathan will

The entrance was made from the back yard by
means of an augur. Several holes were bored
and a piece taken out until an opening was made
sufficient to admit the body of a -small man.—
The nrticl os stolen consisted mostly ofsilvercups,
spoons, forks, &c. Fortunately, the watches,
pins, chains, and other more important valuables,
had been locked up in a safe, where they are
usually kept at night, or the loss would have been

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX.
Bos’o-i Jan. 20.—Some astounding develop,
menis relative to the recent disappearance of a
young girl named Brown, the daughter of a
highly respectable abolitionist, are being made.
It appears that the father had expressed himself
indifferent as to whether his daughter married a
w hite man or a negro. She took him at his word,
and a few weeks since eloped “with a black man,
married him, and, in his company, went to ttic
different dens in Ann street, in one ofwhich she
was discovered by an officer, and carried to her
father. She is now in the Lunatic Asylum.—
The affair has been hushed up here on account
of the respectability of the parties.

Outrageous. —The Dalton Times of the 23d
i inst. says: “On yesterday morning tho passen
ger trnin from Chattanooga was delayed near an
hour at the Tunnel, in removing some timber
and rocks which had been laid across the track
by some base hearted villain, for the purpose ol
j throwing the cur off*the track. The perpetrators
of this diabolical act, it is hoped, will not escape
the punishment which they deserve, for thus

Novel and Frightful Punishment. — Mr. Lyn

! Society of London, descriptive of a mode of
punishment, peculiar to the criminal code of die
Celestial Empire. A Chinese merchant, nceus

sentenced to die by the total deprivation of sleep.
The execution took place at Amoy, in the month
of June last. Tlio condemned was placed in
prison under the surveillance of three guardians,
who relieved each other at every alternate hour,
i and who prevented him from taking any sleep,

JUST FKOII THE PRESS i
r|NHE BAPTIST PSALMODY. A Collection of
J Hymns for the worship of God, by B. MaNl*,
1). 1)., and 11. Max..y, Jr. Published by the South
ern Baptist Publication Society, and for sale at (lie’
Depository price.
The compilation of this work originated in a felt
necessity. It was undertaken in accordance with
the request of numerous Associations in the State of
Alabama. Tlic Board of the Southern Baptist Publi
cation Society had received repeated solicitations to*
publish a Hymn Book for our Southern Churches,-
indicating quite an extensive conviction that no
Hvmn Book in use among us was likely to become
the Book of the Denomination South. While they
were deliberating in relation to the mutter, it became
known that the brethren Manly had compiled their
Book. It at once suggested itself as desirable, if this
book should be found adapted to their design, to adopt
it. rather than bring out another almost simultaneous
ly with the publication of this collection. At the so
licitation of the Board, the MS. was submitted ttf
their inspection, and arrangements having been en
tered into by them for securing the copy right, thw
whole work was subjected to a rigid examination’,
under the direction of the publishing committee, and
m connection with one of the compilers. All the al
tera ions lint seemed desirable to render it such a
H vmn Book us the Society should publish, were made,
arid the result of those labors is now respectfully ten
dered to our brethren and the Churches, in the hope
the earnest prayer tliattiie great Head of'the Church
will bless it to the comfort and improvement of his
Zion.
It has been an object to restore the hymns of otir
standard authors, us far as might he, to their original
lorin, and also to give a place to such hymns, as,
though deficient in literary excellence, are eminently
adapted to the great purposes of sacred music. The
cultivation, and the expression of pious sentiment and
feeling, will add to the interest and value of the vol
ume. It contains 1,290 hymns. That it will please
the taste and meet the wishes of every one, is no!
supposed, but we can confidently recommend it as au
excellent Hymn Book.
A. M. POINDEXTER.
Cor. Sec. S. B. P. &.
We subjoin the following recommendations;
I very cordially unite in recommending it (tho Bap
tist Psalmody) lu the Denomination, as well suited to
the great purposes of the department of Music, in tho
worship of God in private, social, and public devotion.
WM. B. JOHNSON, i>. P.
The undersigned having, at the request of the
Board of the Southern Baptist Publication Society*
examined portions of “The Baptist Psalmody,” com
piled by B. Manly, 1). D. and B. Manly, Jr., cordially
recommends it to the Denomination as well suited to
promote the piety and elevate the taste of the Church
es, and■ admirably adapted to (he uses of both social
and public worship. J. L. REYNOLDS, D. D.
By the request of the Board of the Southern Baptist
Publication Society, 1 have examined portions of “The
Baptist Psalmody, ’’ now in process of publication by
them, and cheerfully commend it as a good selection,
to the favor of my brethren and friends.
R. B. C. HOWELL, D. D.
I have examined a portion of “Tho Baptist Psalmo
dy,” and find Mie hymns, in general, excellent, mid
well adapted to the purposes of devotion. The entire
work will doubtless deserve to be classed among tho
very best hymn books extant.
