In to days paper we extract from tbe Chronicle it Sentinel, a letter add eased toils editors front Win. B. White Esq., Cashier of the Rockersville Bank —which will be read with interest by all parties. The wider speaks out independently the feelings of every Geor gian who lias the lirnmess to exercise tnsjudge n.ent, and to act regardless of party consider ations. The truth it contains on the subject of relit!', reform &.C., and I tie expose it makes of the promises, pretences and deceptions practiced by our opponents who were a major ity in tbe lasi Legislature, and who refused to do any tiling for the relief of their constituents. We are proud to see announced from a source j so respectable, so independent, and from a section of the State where so much influence of parly dictation has prevailed to govern pub lic sentiment. Let every feeling man of what ever political party in Georgia he may be,, read and reflect upon the honest and com mendable expose tins letter contains, in rela tion to rebel measures and the acts of the op position m our last Legislature, and we veil- j lure, however much may be the kicking and ! frothing of llie party press against such semi-1 ments from those who acted with them in the! contest of the last year, many very many oth- ! er.s besides the writer of this letter, if they dol not come, out to the public through the press as lie has done, manly and in a spir.t which! evinces greater devotion to principle and pa- j friotism than to party —they will concur with I him an.l lend a willing hand to render the ne cessary relief to a suffering community in de spite of the aristocratic “ipse divil ” of the ‘ate reform Legislature who declared “they ought not if they could relieve the people” from em barrassment and distiess. We hope to see others throwing oft the harness of party and coming out fearlessly avowing their sentiments on this subject of vital consequence to the in iuterest of the whale people, with which psfrty j predilections ami partiilil'es should be laid aside, and tbe good'ot the country consulted. In conclusion we solicit from every one an impartial perusal ot Mr. White’s able and spirited letter, which bespeaks for his honesty in the support o correct | ri ciples and a de termined independance n purpose, a language 1 hough unacceptable to our opponents, wor thy of commendation from every patriotic and generous hearted citizen ot Georgia.—Feder al Union, June I. From live Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel. UtJCKGRSviLLC, May 10, 1811. M ssrs. J. W. & W. S. Jones: Gentlemen —It is the duty of all editors to advise tlie reading, and deeply interested public, of the condition and situation ol the monetary a (Fairs of the country ; and equally i.s it the duty of the citizen, to advise the edi tors of any errors they may intentionally or casually commit on those subjects, pertinent to t tie prosperity of the country. Taking this view of the case, I claim tiie light tospeak out on any subject which involves any ques tion of expediency, or of necessity, toucuing iher amelioration of llie people. The heavy 1 demand's lor sjiecie and exchange, must of I necessity close all those Banks which have given the people any circulation, and it is an easy matter for those Banks, which have been j retiring their circulation lor several years past, to sustain themselves under any pres-! sure of times. During the canvass lor the! Presidency, the friends ot General Harrison! urged his election upon the people, upon lire | ground that the then administration had lies- 1 iroyed credit and confidence, and the policy j adopted by it would bring distress upon the country, and that it would remain lor the j new administration to relieve the people and j the country. 1 was an humble auxiliary in the cause of II trrison, Tyler and Relbrm, vet, 1 never did believe that a change in the Ad ministration would afford relief to the people. We are tending, as fast as we can, to a me tallic currency, and Tyler and Dawson can not successfully interpose, because every man who holds a paper dollar, is not content until lie converts it into specie or its equivalent ; 3 nd Harrison and Van Buren have no more to do with it than the Ethiopian. Man is selfish, and thinks his case a peculiar one, and what little specie he needs, will do no harm. The people of Georgia of ali parties are vastly in debt, and tiie cotton crop is again like!v to fail, and when an editor fails, or re fuses to charge the failure ot the cotton crop of last year, as the great cause ol the distress which is coming upon the country, he is guilty of au error, for which public opinion will sooner or later condemn him. Ihe people here ask for relief, substantial relict, without regard to parties, and before next November they must have it, or else be sacrificed, The matter of relief is no party matter, and he who makes it so, will receive his reward at the bar of public opinion. If McDonald is in lavor of relief, he is (he man; if Dawson is in favor of relief, ho is the man. I most un hesitatingly declare, that the legislature should be convened immediately, tor the definite purpose of giving the people relief, even a Stop Law— you may sneer at the idea of a Stop Law, hut the people are prepared for it, and prepared to support any man who is in favor of it ; and should .the policy of the Van Buren party lead them into that channel, McDonald will be elected without doubt. 1 have buried the tomahawk of party, and shall devote myself exclusively to the interest of THE COLUMBUS TIMES. VOLUME I.] j a distressed people, and the distressed condi-l I lion of the-country. On this subject 1 know Ino man or party ; Relief! keliet!! Relief!!! j | -shtil ever be my watchword. Necessity has] j no law, and any efliirt on the part of an ecii I >or to convince ti e people that the Admuns | tralion ot V an Rureu-has brought this distress ; ! about, will be successfully met by the ques-i tions, why do not the Harrison party alivo-j I cate some measure of relief? Why do they ! not tell the people that the Banks cannot re-1 jtire their circulation in the twinkling of an t eye ! Our party, i ight or wrong, is an unsafe j and unsound doctrine, and I, for one, am uri- i willing to pursue it to the threshold of rtn. Gentlemen, it is impossible for you to know | j half the distress that pervades every section | jot Georgia; There is no wedding-cake in j I upper Georgia, and strawberries have not I ripeneu vet ; nor do our eyes repose on the ; ’ best currency, We do not banquet on the j richest viands—(editors may have their tun, | but it is death to the people.) \\ hen the property of the hontst debtor shall have been sacrificed—when universal ruin shall have; route over the land, then will von hear it j Irom every quarter. You knew your duty, | but we did it not ; lor you lautrhed at the ca- j lamities of the people, and mocked when their j ear came. Deceive not yourselves about i tfiis matter. Old Etliert is lor relief, and she j was Whig to the core. I mingle with the j people, and 1 know where they stand ; they; I can never he satisfieJ until some definite ac-; tion is had. ‘They have a right to demand ot j the Harrison editors, what they promised j them on a change of the Administration, and j where is it pray f As an indiuiduat, lam not j a subject til the times ; what 1 owe i am able j to pay, i feel only in common with my lei- i low citizens. Although lam not asubscri-i her to your paper, and have no -merest in its circulation, yet an advocacy of correct prin ciples and doctrines through its columns, would he of .substantial benefit to your pat rons, and might subserve liie higblest inter est of tbe country at large. The lematks in vour paper which gave oiR-nce, did not touch j me as an individual personally ; l do not j complain, and I am content to know that you j are independent, and to fee! that I am equally i independent. Having had hope, until lately, that the Harrison editors in Georgia would take high ground, and come boldly to tho rescue of the people, and being disappointed in that hope, 1 must content myrelf with the belief, (hat before one year shall have revolved, the Harrison party will become the minority party. Having resolved to bestir myself on the question of relief-—not die relief of Gov. McDonald either—l shall publish my views to the people, and if one editor wil> not give me a place, another probably will. Before I give the subject up entirely, I shall point out a lemedv that will lie prudent and constitution-j aI, and if adopted, will product* a revolution,! bearing in it healing for die sore afflictions of the people. l ake tour through die State, | from the sen-board to the mountains, and from the Chattahoochee to llie Savannah— inquire at every inn (or the news, and you will he answered with the words, “ Hard j Times.” Ask the planter about his situation, and he will tell you that he failed in a cotton j crop last year, and his prospects for a crop this season is very gloomy. Ask the mer- | chant how his collections have been, and he j will tell you that they were light, and that he | paid 15 or 20 per cent, exchange. Ask the Mechanic what is his condition, and he will tell you that he has been thrown out of em ployment, in consequence of die scarcity’of money. Ask die officers of a Bank, how stands die case with them, and they will tell you .dial they are compel ed to redeem their circulation daily with gold and silver. In ilre face of all this testimony, editors are “ crying aloud, and sparing not.” Their watchword is “down with all the Banks, that do not pay specie to every individual who feels author ised to call.” T.:j issue between die editors and die people is fairly tm le up, and the case is dor keted; and when tried, the jury will re tire merc y for form sake, and return a verdict of “regardless-oess of the interest of the coun try” against editors. Facts are stubborn things, and when facts are presented plainly to the peop’e, they can see, feel and know them. It is a tact then, that the people are in an awful condition ; it is a fact, that some thing most he done speedily, to alleviate die people; and tin vvihave it, in despite of the combined powers of editors. Youis, vey respectfully, \\ M. B. WHITE. Corn. — Alter Culture.- As soon as the corn comes up and gets out two or three inches high, pass the corn-harrow over if, let ting your hands follow the harrow with small hoes, or wooden rakes, to relieve such of the plants as may he covered with the earth and draw a little fresh earth around all ot’ them. In a lew days turn a furrow from either side of the corn, and turn it hack again. Hands should also follow the ploughmen to perform a similar service to the one we have just spo ken of above, and when the worms and birds have done, thi, mil vour plants leaving two in a hill. In a week from this pedod run your culti vators both ways througlr vour corn, going as nigh the p ants as possible : which bv ju dicious handling of the cultivator will throw sufficiency of fresh earth around the plants to ehoak starting weds and a (lord nourishment to the plants themselves. In a week more repeat this operation with the cultivators, making thorough work. When you have gone through with this, then it will he time to throw a lull around the plants on both sides, taking care not. to make it too high, big sufficiently so to aitbrd protec tion. At the expiration of a week more give another such ploughing, and unless the season should be an extraordinary one, you may conclude that your corn is laid by for the sea son. Should however the weeds start, then pass vour cultivators through the corn orce more. Ail deep ploughing after the corn roots spread across the furrows should he avoided ; and, iudeed, in every case wliete a cloverlv or grass sward has been turned down, it never should he disturbed by being penetrated and turned up with the plough. Protection from Crows. —As there are ma ny districts of our Country where crows are numerous and prove very destructive to the corn before and after it comes up, we will de-. scribe a very simple hut most efficient scare crow which we have seen tried v ith complete success. It consists in hanging a sheet ol tin on a pole sufficiently long to be seen from all parts of the field. \\ here (lie field is large let these scare-crows he multiplied on the more elevated points, so that they may be seen in every direction; 4 will be sufficient for a hundred acre field. Every breeze of wind produces a reflection which proves tru ly irresistible to these birds of prey who in variably take wing and ilv away. Ifsuspen ded by wire or strong twine, they will re main permanent during the season, and i( ta ken care of at its termination, whi last many vears -indeed wid e even their brightness is preserved, as it is the glitter thereby which the crows so much dread. To preserve Bacon.—Give it a good coat of while wash, and sprinkle with ashes. Pre pared in tins wav it is safe from tiie ravages ul the fly, and may hang up til] wanted for use. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, ISO. (Correspondence of the Savannah Georgian) WASHINGTON, May 24. State of Parlies in the,next Congress-—The New Bank—Webster, Minister to England —Badger, Secretary of State —The Spea kership—Mr. Tyler’s Course. A few days more,-and the assembled wisdom jof the nation will ha ve commenced their opera tions of speech making and law breaking.— I From a careful revision of the election returns, j 1 find that the Senate will consist of twenty, j nine Federalists and twenty-one Republicans \ —thestote of Tennessee not being represen | ted. The House of Representatives will be j composed of one hundred and thirty-six j Federalists and one hundred and one Reptib j licans, the States of Illinois and Mississippi ! not represented. In both brandies, therefore, I the Whig party will have a majority stilfl j ciemly large to accomplish the objects laid j down for them by the Federal official jour nal in this city, viz: the establishment of a National Bank ; the distribution of the Public Lands; a Tariff of Protection ; and the com pletion of the Cumberland and other Roads | throughout die country. To do ail this, at a j moderate calculation, will require something I like one hundred millions of dollars!—and where we are to borrow the money, and if j borrowed, limv we are to pay it when due, j are questions I commend to the serious con | sideration of the strict State Rights econo j mists of Georgia. In regard to the first of these propositions, j it is said that Mr Ewing will submit a plan ! to Congress, proposing the establishment of a twenty million bank in this city, with branch jes in such Stale, as may wish to enjoy its 1 benefits, nr sutler from its rascalities. The j object in locating litre, is to smooth i the consciences oltliWe Whigs who pretend to believe in the oneonstitutionality of such an institution, and you may depend upon it, that the first bait will take. The age we live i", is one which finds politicians save enough lor peccadilloes that a few years since would have caused ignominy to brand their names forever. But, alas, the days of honesty, like those of chivalry, are over, and “ali their glo ry's past.” Mr. Biddle’s illustration eait-tr must satisfy every one of the necessity‘of having“ a fiscal agent” for the sale keeping of the public moneys, and Mr. Tom Ew-nu’s small concern, llie Bank of Galliopolis in Onto, affords strong evidence of his capacity to fur ni'h us a “ currency”—lor, like this copper in stitution, this agent will doubtless have more sound than reality about it. It is generally believed that the message of the president will contain no recommendation ol such an institution, hut, according to the whig papers, he, will not veto the bill, when presented to hint. ‘The measure, I think, will meet the views of many of the Republican party, as the Sub-Treasury will he lepealed, and as the “fiscal agent” may all he consid ered the same as the Sub-Treasury, should a clause be inserted forbidding the Bank to dis rount to individuals. It is ihe name of Sub- Treasiirv more than any thing else, that cau ses the Federalists to suggest any substitute ; fiir if discounts are not permitted, and the notes are issued as mere representatives of debt by the government, I think it will he as hard to tell the difference between them and the present issues as to make a tweedledum and tweediedee distinction. The Bank may, therefore, tie considered merely a Bank in name, anJ unlike its illustrious predecessors, unable to iurnish Congressmen and newspa - per editors with small lavors. I do not be lieve, however, that such a plan will suit Ihe tastes of Messrs. Webster atxt Clay, as your readers may remember that, some three years since, the latter introduced a [imposi tion for the estaohshment of a fifty million monster. There is some talk stirring of Mr. Web ster’s having received a hint from President Tvler, that a visit to England would be bene ficial to his health, and as the tastes and feel ings ot the Secretary of State have always been favorable towards llie British Monarchy it is probable that he will enable Mr. Steven son to return home at an early period. Mr. Badger, of the Navy Department, will prob ably take his place as Prime Ministei; so that we shall h ve a Fox and Badger controversy immediately on the North Eastern Boundary question; and if our Secretary proves game, we may yet come ofi’ with flying colors. Many ol the Northern members are hpre, and are busy selecting their seats, making up messes, Stc. Judge Warren is the only Geor gia representative i have seen. lam still of the opinion that Dawson stands a lair chance for Speakership, although tite northern peo ple grumble somewhat on account ol his being at llie same lime a candidate lor Governor.— ‘Their votes in caucus, will doubtless he cast for Mr. Briggs, one of the Massachusetts Abolitionists, but should he be selected in that wav, he cannot he elected, as the Southern portion of their party are hound, by the best of reasons, to vote for someone connected with their peculiar interests. We are at ieogth in the enjoyment of sum mer—-if dust, heat, drought can be called en- I joyment, the office beggars, poor devils, are holding on as tenaciously as ever, and thus ; fully verily Mr. Campbell’s saying, that, 1 Distance lends enchantment to the view,” ! for I leel very confident now, that theguillo ! line will heteafter l*e used but sparingly. — The city Whigs are perfectly disgusted ! with the course pursued by Mr. ‘Tyler, and | he is attempting to imitate Mr. Monroe, by getting he good will of the Republicans.— Whether lie will deserve it, may be judged on the receipt of his message, an early copy of which 1 will furnish you.

Free Trader, May 21. THE WHITE SLAVERY PROJECT IN IRELAND. j The Jamaica Negroe’s places to be taken in the cane fields by white Jrishtnen— new and startling fea ture in the Anti-Negro Slave Association of Eng land and Irelahd. By Irish papers received at the office of the Free ‘Trader from Dahlin, we learn that in the desperate game the West India Emanci pationists are playing they are determined to reduce Irishman to the condition of working ! menials on ihe Island plantations, where the I’ate negro apprentice system has so signally j tailed. Thus fifty thousand Irishmen are j wanted to fill the fields lately worked by ne gro slaves, and more recently by turbulent and saucy black apprentices, just changing,chrys ahs fashion, from serfs to nabobs. Idiere was recently held a great meeting of the Hibernian Anti-Slaverv Society in the Dublin Royal Exchange. The meeting was opened with all due formality. One of the speakers thus Evoked “ the mighty name” in his address: “There is n mighty man whose name I must use, I say must use, far he sent me here this evening to perform a public duty, a very delightful one indeed to me to perform under Ids orders, that man is O’Connell. But 1 speak of him now, not as O’Connell the politician, but as O’Connell, a member of the Irish Anli- Slaverv Association, (cheers.)” During this meeting a strong opposition was aroused against the new tangled scheme of having •‘•lrish niggers ” on the cane fields, in place of those whom God and nature ex pressly formed lor such climates and such labors. “ Richard Allen, Esq , who said lie would take occasion to allude to a matter which clearly concerned the. people of Ireland, he meant the Jamaica emigration scheme, (hear, hear.) ‘Scheme,’it might, indeed, he well epithized, for in his (Mr. Allen’s) opinion it was hut a heinous plan devised by ihe Ja maica planters to decoy fifty thousand poor Irishmen from their homes to toil and sweat beneath a tropical sun. It was the duty of that society, and of every honest and humane man, to baffle such an iniquitous design ; and it was with feelings of pride and gratification that he (Mr. Allen) alluded to ihe noble efforts made in Limerick hv their guest of that eve ning, Thomas Steele, in frustrating these ‘knavish tricks,’ (loud cheers.)” ‘The letter of a magstrflte, long resident in the colony o! Jamaica, was read to the meet ing in proof of the awful cruelty of decoying poor Irishmen to those scorching plains from whence the negroes have been driven by a cruel and misca.led philanthropy. “The magistrate’s words are dictated by the practical experience of years (hear, hear.) Jamaica might be a very agreeable resort for gentlemen who could a fiord to stay at home all day, and only go out in the cool of the evening; but to ihe poor laboring emigrant, who should be scorched beneath the burning rays of a tropical sun all the (lav long, till lie became drenched in a bath of bis own sweat, it was death, it was ruin. ‘The negro might bear it well, nay, and thrive beneath it, but to the Briton it was ruin, it was death.” Hear vvliat this gentleman, a magistrate of the colony, says: “ For God sake prevent any of mv poor laboring countrymen coming out here, unless they are actually starving. If they come out they will repent it but once, and that is all their lives. Emigration of Europeans will never answer in this country. Mr. Mitchell, of London, sent out a number of Irishmen, and placed them in the mountains of Clarendon. Half of them died; the re mainder are unhappy, and curse the day they -camfe to Jamaica. 1 see they have shipped 300 from Limerick. God help the poor fel lows!” We take the Report of this famous meeting from that oblv conducted paper, ti e Dublin Freeman’s Journal of April 9.h. There was one queer contrast drawn by one of tbe speak ers, Mr. Sieele. which we extract from a spirit of sheer fun, just to show Texas and ihe United States what pieposterous misconc p liot.s of national and sectional character are choked down foreign throats as gospel, and received with loud cheering and applause. Mr. Steele says: “Ft may perhaps appear to be a startling paradox ii’ I affirm that the anti-slaverv association and O'Connell have not done the Texians moral justice; they have riot indeed. Ido not stand up here to eulogise Texas and its constitution, but ‘the devil is not so black as lie is painted.’ and llie vials of your wrath have, in my opinion, been wrongfully poured in such a Niagara cataract upon the ‘Texians. And now I will tell you why; your Texian slave-holder is a fine, no ble,open-hearted, dare-devil, ruthless, highly respeclabie ruffian, who, in chivalry of mis creancy, disdains all snivelling, sneaking, heaiing-about-the-hush circumbendibusses, in bis transactions of bis making slaves of his brother men. No, ladies and gentlemen, be, like a man of noble spirit, ‘goes the whole hog;’ he glaums his victim by the throat, lie drags him into slavery, be makes him bis beast of burthen, he annihilates in him all hopes of liberty, and lie works him until he die. (cheers.) Now, 1 pray it may be remembered that I do not eulogize this system. I only say that we are to compare it with worse in the United Slates of America, and even than in America (as Hamlet says) ‘worse remains behind.’— Is not the miscreant Texian, such as I have described him, an angel of light in comparison with Tne Yankee bowie-knife slaveholder; and the noisome Yankee slave-breeder, vaunting of American liberty, its star-spangled banner, and ihe equal rights of men, an intensity of the ridiculous, and of horrible iniquity (peals of applause)? Well, I told you that ‘worse j remains behind.’ ” Hurrah for this, the last but the greatest of ail the Irish bulls! Yankees proper will be I something surprised to find that they are either ! slave-breeders or slave-holders. Landlord's Lien. —A principle of consid erable importance in a commercial city I !;e this, W3 settled by a -decision of our Su preme Court, last Monday. A landlord seized lor arrears of rent, goods Hint had been deposited on slorage in the leaded prem ises. The owner of the goods sued for a res toration, on the ground that they were not | liable to the landlord’s lien. Avery able and (considering ihe dryness of ihesubject,) an eloquent opinion was delivered by Judge Bullard. The point decided was, that a land lord’s privilege does not attach to the proper ty of third persons stored upon leased prem ises. If any claim for storage on the articles is due and unpaid, it may be seized, but the lien of the landlord proceeds no further. — Reasons of public policy, as well as common sense and justice, sustain the judgement of the Court.—New Orleans papers A la mode de Brandon. —We learn from the True Issue that ihe Union boys burnt up or,e day last week 6350,000 of their notes.— This was the iast resort of the Brandon finan ciers to raise the value of their worthless is sues.

Fearful, Collision. —The terrifying col lision which occurred at sea a short tune since, between a Philadelphia ship and another un known, is thus described in the North Ameri can : The packet -hip Susquehanna, as she lies near Walnut street wharf, is a curiosity. She has literally been rescued from toe jaws of the great deep. She came in collision with an other ship off the banks of Newfoundland, on the Blh insl. at 4 o’clock in the morning. The night was not dark, hut the sea was running high, and they did not discover each other until the (earful collision. The Susquehanna’s bowsprit is taken oil’ clean, and the cutwater torn and wrenched from the ship in a way which shows the encounter must have been tremendous. She was running at the rate of nine knots, and shipping seas constantly at the time. The impression on hoard the Sus quehanna is, that the blow was so hard, and so near the centre of the other ship, that she must have been totally disabled,if not stove in, causing her to sink immediately. Al ter the collision, she slewed round and gra ted past the Susquehanna, with such rapidity, that no opportunity was given to discover who she was, or the extent of her injuries. The impression on board is, that she was an F.ast fndiaman, or some ship of the largest class, and as the cutwater of the Susquehanna is ta ken off low down,site was upon the top of a sea at the moment of the collision. Conse quently the other ship must have suffered the more severely. No cries were heard, and in the confusion of the crash, and anxiety for self preservation, no distinct knowledge of the cliar acter of the other ship could tie learned’ The opinion on board is, that the man at the wheel of the ill'fated ship must have been killed in stantly. The whole of the painful encounter is only another evidence of the unavoidable hazards of navigation. Perhaps the ship in stantly foundered, and atone “fell swoop” all on hoard were ushered into eternity together. If so, iter fate will neversatisfactorily beknown, and the history of those engulfed with her, must continue to be involved in doubt and obscurity forever. Renovation of thf. Peach Thee. —The editor of the New England Farmer says that a gentleman residing at Cambridge, Mass., informed him that charcoal placed around the roots of a diseased peach stock, was servicea ble tn restoring its vigor. He immediately removed the soil front arouud the tr-nk of a sickly tree in his garden, supplied its place with charcoal, and was surprised at its sud den renovrtion, the rapidity of its growth, the tenacity with which the fruit clnng on to the branches and ilie unusual richness of its flavor when matured.

We learn fiom Quebec, lhat on the 17th inst., an enormous mass of rock and earth de tached itself from the Cape, immediately op posite the Custom House, carrying vvitli it part of the GoVernmen. garden and fortifica tion wall, and crushing, in us descent, eight houses a fid their inmates. Every eflbrt was inst intly made to rescue from the ruins the unfortunate victims. Twenty-five dead bodies have already been discovered, and nine or ten severely wounded, carried to the hospitals. The following are the names of some ol the proprietors and occupants: Mr. Williams, rigger, (family in the house.) A store next to Mr. Williams-. A store next to Blaikston. Widow Birch, occupied by Mm. Conners.-- Mr. Gaulin and store, occupied by himself— Mrs. Gaulm taken to hospital. J. Young; house occupied by himself. Mr. Lemons— house occupied by Vital Roy and family— saved. House occupied by Mr. Lewis. Those of the dead who have been recog n zed are, Mr. Gaulin and two children, Mr. Cote, M. Chartier, Mrs. and Miss Comers, M rs. Gailaher, Robert M’Gibbon of the Po lice, D.nninick Greelv, Patrick Doherty, John M Her, George Jones an 1 wife, D. Fitzpatrick, Jane Crawford, Ellen Reed, John Considine, Jane Hays, and Julia Saint Laurent, Mrs. Williams, and two children, Miss Young. The portions of the clifi which gave way fell about two hundred and fifty leet, so si lently and suddenly that none of f lie un f ortlJ . naie inmates of the houses beneath fiad anv warning to escape. From a state of perfect health, and of joyous carelessness and happL ness, they were unconsciously ushered into the presence of their God, without preparation tor so sudden and awful a change. The ladies of the Hotel Dieu, with kindness and benevolence, received seven of the injured individuals into their establishment, although there were no vacant beds in the regular wards at the time of the calamity- These seven are likely to recover. 1 here were several very remarkable es capes. One most extraordinary case was that of V ;lal Roy and family. His house was hurled into the street and partly buried beneath the ruins, together with their beds, &.. himself, his wife, a servant maid and an apprentice boy, escaped entirely unhurt, and his infant was extricated from the ruins of the fallen chimney a short time after the affair, almost unscathed.’ It lias been confidently slated that the shock of an earthquake was distinctly felt in various quarters, from Diamond Harbor to the Up |>er Town of Quebec, at between 1 and 2 oY(i.ck during the preceding night. Similar falls of a portion of the Cape have previously taken place, hut unaccompanied with any serious consequences. The only cause assigned is the numerous springs filter ing through the crevices of the rock, which failing into clefts, expanded hv frost during the winter, increase the fissures and loosen large masses of rock which subsequent natu ral operations entirely detach, till whole bodies are removed from their positions. From the Globe, May 31. MEETING OF CONGRESS. The extraordinary session of Congress came together to day—for what, we shall not paibably learn to-morrow Irom the President’s Message, although we yet hope that the Chief Magistrate will ehdw liimiiilf to le at the head of the Government, and not permit Mr. Clay to supersede him in l it office of re commending the measures of Government.— It is perfectly clear now that Mr. Clay pre sides in both Houses of Congress. Air. White, who comes from the adjoining district” to Mr. Clay s inKentuckv, was elected Speak er of the House to-day, bv less than a major ity ol all t lie votes in a full H use, without any qualification lor the station but what he borrows Irom his docility aid devotion to Air.’ Clay. The President of the Senate,’ Mr. Southard, has always been in perfect subor dination to Mr. Clay, both in Air. Adam’s Cabinet and in the Senate. To him, the nod ot Air. Clay will be the law of the Senate.— \\ ilh both the presiding officers at his beck, and a willing majority to follow, Mr. Clay may consider himself the extraordinary Congress. Il Air. lyler subihits himself to the same dic tation, Air. Clay may say, Fa'm tbe State.” He is certainly in a fair way to command the Executive authority, if it is not volunta rilp resigned. He will, doubtless, in a day or two, place himself at the head ofthe Commit tee of Foreign Affairs. Here he will lay down the course of Secretary Webster as to’ our loreign relations. , Every body knows that while in the Senate, Webster’s spirit was ever rebuked by Mr. Clay’s, as Anthony’s was by Ciesar’s. At the head ot the Cabinet, while his assuming supe rior has the command of the purse alid the sword in Congress, he will be less able to mako resistance, than in his independent position ia the Senate. It, then, the President resigns himself to the Secretary, the whole result will be to make Air. Clay the sole heir of all the glories of the hard cider campaign, and Gen Harrison will have done what tie said, as soon as the election was known, he woMld willingly do—he has in effect resigned his power, iu the, lirst year of his Administration, into tho hands of Air. Clay. The old General, we think, did not exactly mean what he said, but death has lealized tor Air. Clay wdiat was said an mere compliment. We never before had a deputy President, but as the friends of Mr. Clay, after repeated trials, lound It In vain to’ attempt to make him President by the vote* of the people,We cannot but give them credit for the dexterity by which they have Compassed the object, by contriving to ’have the power , deputised to him. National Theati.e burnt—loss or Life. —'The efforts of incendiaries to destroy this costly structure, have at last been successful. On Friday evening it was set on fire in eight different places, but by timely discovery the flames tvere extinguished. This morning, a bout 7 o’clock, it was again discovered to be on fire, which proceeded from the stage and scenery. The efforts of the firemen to extin guish the flames were unavailing, and the building was entirely destroyed.’ During the fire the rear ‘wall fell upon the roof of the three story brick building next ad joiningon Leonard street owned by Air. Pitcher and oecupied by Julia Brown, crushing in the roof, and burying beneath the’ ruins a°young woman by the name ofMargaret w j lt> lodged in ihe upper part of the building The Theatre was built upon leased ground, arid said to be owned by W. E. Burton, who had the management of the Theatre. This Theatre, as most of obr readers know, was situated at the corner of Chapel and* Leonard streets, and was nearly new—a The atre on the same site having been burnt three or four years ago. We cannot learn that there was any insur ance except SIO,OOO insured in two office*, out of the city, SSOOO in each. The cost off the building was something like sso,ooo,'and the scenery, dresses, &c. belonging to the manager, were very expensive. To relieve choaked Cattlil and Hob-’ ses— ln your January number, I see direc tions to relieve choaked cattle. - I Will give you one so much simpler and better, that ybdrs is comparatively worthless.’ Raise the fore loot to relax the rtmscles of the leg; then tie a bit of whip cord, drum lino or other strong string round the arm just a bove the knee ; let go the loot, and if the horse or cow dees not put it to the ground, a quick stroke with the whip will make it do so, and the operation is performed and the animal■ re lieved. But how? He will be relieved, Ftell you and that is sufficient. My Crude notion is, the pressure of the hard chord on the nerves in the arm creates the same sickening sensa tion in the animal that a-stroke on the elbow causes in the man, the nausea relaxes the mus cles of the throat and the exertion of the ani mal caused by the pain acting at the same time, causes it to throw off the substance with which it is choaked.
