The arrival ofylic packet slop Cambridge, ( iiplain Bmsly from f.iverpool this morn ing puts ns iu possession of advices from that city to tin- lOtli, ultimo, the day tin which she sailed. Our dates from London arc to the Hilt, ultimo. The sailing of the steam ship great (treat Western hud been deferred to the !2Sth, January, and of the Liverpool to the slh Febunry. Tile Liverpool papers which have rea died us by this arrival contain intelligence of the most melancholy and distressing na ture involving the hiss of many valuable lives and an immense amount of property. We condense the following account of the melancholy event alluded to from the Liv erpool Fourier of the itih ult and also add extracts from several letters on the subject, which have been kindly handed us for pe rusal. (in the night of Sunday the (Rh. ult. and throughout the whole of the next morning, the city of Liverpool was visited by one of the most awful and destructive hurricanes that had occurred within the memory of the oldest inhabitants, causing the most dis tressing loss of lives mid properly and do ing the greatest damage to the ships in the rever, sinking several, and resulting in no less than sixteen vessels being driven a shore. It will be seen that among the losses, arc the packet ships, Pennsylvania, Capt, Hinitli. .S't. Andrew Capt. Thompson and the Oxford. Capt. Rullibouc, including the captain two mates seven seamen and four of the passengers of the Pcnunylva nia. Extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, Jan. Oth, The packet ship Pennsylvania, Captain Smith, sailed from this port for New York on Sunday, the Bth, instant, the wind being from the south-east, with five passengers and a freight list amounting to 2ff iMlb. The passengers were Messrs. VV. G. Thomp son, Douglas, Parsons, and J. T. Harrow, till of New York, and Mr, Suitor, of Car thegeuin. At 2 o'clock, on the Hth, the ship struck off l.easowe, and soon after Captain Smith and a boy were washed o verboard, when the passengers and n part of the crew look to the stern boat, and at tempted to reach the shore ; but were all lost by the swamping of the boat, but Mr. Thompson, who was saved by having on a life preserver. The third mate and stew ard were also saved. The bodies of all the passengers (except that ofM. Suitor,) the first mate, and several of the crew had floa ted ashore. The body of Capt. Smith has not yet been recovered. One letter bag, almost in pieces, and some goods have been washed ashore. Extract of a letter dated Liverpool, Jan. (Hit, The Cambridge being still detained by the boisterous weather, we are enabled to state that we have to day visited the Ox lord, where she lies on the shore, are glad to report that the cargo between deck is now landed oil the beach, and has turned out in good order, the water appearing not to have reached it. The lower hole however, appears to have been full, and the goods are no doubt much damaged. The hull ol the vessel does not appear much in jured ; on this point however, nothing de cisive can be said at present. The Pennsylvania is a total loss, and we regret to say that Capt. Smith, the first and second male, font of the passengers, and seven of the crew have nil perished. Fhe St. Andrew, is also ashore ; hut her cargo it is expected will not have been se riously dumagod. Captain Thompson and crew nave all been landed safely. Besides these, there are several other \vreel's, and the number of lives lost is great.

The Captain and about fifty of the crew and passengers of the Lockwood have been saved. All the survivors on board this ill piled vessels have been brought away ex cept one man. Ihe wife of this person was on board in a dying state and he refu sed to quit her. I lie sight on hoard was most heart rending. Men women and chil dren were lying dead over the sides, or hanging lifeless in the rigging having per ished front the severity of the weather.

Lock wood, a British ship, with passengers, for New York, is in a similar condition. The Victoria steam tug, assisted hv the life boat, has made every exertion to save as many as possible of the seamen and pas sengers from the wrecks. They succeeded in saving a considerable number from the Lockwood and St. Andrew, hut in the latter vessel, from HO to 100 souls were lelt last night. Amongst those preserved was an infant only eight months old, whose father and mother were left on hoard. The Penn sylvanian is lying in the surf with her hull nearly covered by the sea. The captain, crew and passengers are in the rigging, anil have been there since last night, the water iiiukiug a breach over her. Lust night at a late hour Mr. Arthur, the active and intrepid manager of the steam lug boats, caused the fuel of the Victoria to be increased and went out to the vicini ty of the wrecks, to see what assistance could he rendered. Unfortunately. the night wus dreadfully severe : a boisterous and piercing wind, with a keen frost, snow thunder, & lightning, combined to augment the HuHcrings of the poor creatures who were so entirely exposed to the wrath ol the elements. It was evident that if the vessels Irept together till morning, many of the sufferers must perish from cold. This morning at 7 o’clock, those on hoard the Victoria and a large steamer, inward hound from Dotibliii, saw the Pennsylva nia and tlie Lockwood hut could not render the crews and passengers any assistance. The latter were seen in the rigging and their eries are described as most heart ren ding. The Victoria was at anchor about half a mile from the wrecks, waiting the return of daylight to renew her efforts to rescue ns many us possible of the survivors. Up to this hour iio intelligence of the suc cess of these endeavors has reached us. The St. Andrews has beaten over the hunks, and on the main. LETTER FROM THE WEST. Adrian (Michigan) Village, in Logan Town ship, is u neat and nourishing, us is on account of its location—an important place. It con tains 15 ortO trading stores, 4 hotels, 3 chur ches, several flourmills, and is rapidly increa sing, Raisin is a fine fanning town, and its population of the most respectable and intelli gent orders. The “Oak Openings” iu this township are, next the ‘Prairies 1 the most beau tiful lands 1 have ever seen : thousand of a cres, iu one body, perfectly level, unit in many instances entirely devoid of ‘undergrowth,’ w itb white and burr oaks, of gigantic stature, standing at almost a regular intervals of tw o or three rods, and supporting heavy and luxuriant crops of wheat, from altogether one of the most agreeable landscapes l aver beheld. A considerable portion of the inhabitants of this, and indeed of many tow ns in Leiiawa County are of the Society of Friends. They Hre gen erally, to say the least, in comfortable circum stances—many are wealthy. They are a free hearted, hospitable people j—may the genius of plenty and prosperity never depart from their borders. Tceumsch, ten miles from Adrian, and (15 from Detroit, is alsou pretty village, of about the same size as Adrian. Here are two first rate flower mills, one of which, I I relieve, coat nearly **loo,ooo. Tecmuseth, Basin and, Adrian, are connec ted with Lake Erie, by the before mentioned rail road. Congress has wisely made ample provision for schools in Michigan, by reserving a certain part of each township in the State, to he sold not under a given sum, and the money to be exclusively appropriated for the common schools. The forest of Aftchigan abound in game of almost every description ; among w Inch are deer, raccoons, wild turkies,” pairie hens,” quails, Ac.; While the numerous lakes and ponds are teeming with various kinds of fish, and their surface covered by innumerable flocks of water fowl. Hears are quite common here and trouble the farmer not a little, by their midnight invasions of Ills cornfield. Wolves are also found here iu large numbers. The Prairie wolf is black. They congrcgratc in herbs, and hunt the deer with uutireitig perseverance. The grey wolf is larger and more ferocious. In order to pre serve his sheep from their fangs, the farmer builds a high fenced yard, in which he enclo ses them every night. \s soon as all is quiet for the night the wolves come forth from the dark recess of tin- aneient forests, and hroxvl around the farmhouses: and seating the fold— “With their long and most offensive howl, Do ask for blood!” It is not only the blood of sheep, reader, and not as at the “seige of Corinth” where they asked for the blood of men II Aet of all the sounds which ever saluted my ears, the prolon ged, unearthly, and dev Usli howl of the wolf is ! beyond comparison the most horrible I Toi hear at the still hour of midnight, the licnd-hke sermule of sme dozen of these gaunt nmrau —to raise the window and behold their dark slim bodies eliding under it. and their great I gleaming eyes starting up at one—are among the invest unpleasant sounds and sights 1 ever experienced. nar vmei. t: vktiiu.vkh at m.vhtimu k. By the Paulin which sailed from St. Pierre, in the Island of Martinque. on the Pith ultimo, and arrived at New Orleans on the third 111-:. information is brought giving the particulars of a terrible earthquake winch visited that Island on the 11th ultimo, and spread havoc and run over the whole French colony. The vessel having left the day after (lit: disaster, the whole extent of the damage lias not been as certained. The devastation, however, was immense. Accounts where coming in descri bing the destruction of buildings, the laying waste of plantations, and the swallowing up and burial of many families. Os the towns. Port Koval appears to have been the greatest sufferer. Numbers of buildings were demol ished. and multitudes of livi s lost. The last shock of the earthquake left scarce a building standing, and the whole city may be said to be overwhelmed. Four hundred persons, it is supposed, were buried tinder the ruins. Os these, three hundred had been with drawn from under the wreck and rubish ; and excavations where going on to extend relief to others in the same situation. In ihe town of St. Pierrot the shock was not so sev ere ns at Part Royal. The commotion lasted about five minutes. .Several houses w ere thrown down and many shaken in a shatered and horrid con dition. The number of fives lost was very small compared with the destruction at other j points. The Govenor of martumpie has issu ed his proclamation, calling upon the citizens \ to succor each other in their frightful disaster, I and promising the sympathy and assistance of: the French Government. The call had been answered with alacrity, and many of the citi-; zens had joined the garrison and marines in’ digging up the ruins, opining the streets, prop-’ ping tip buildings, and reparing the desolations ■ which the calamity had made. For further : and complete accounts, we must await the i next arrival, as the Pauline left too noon to as certain all the dreadful particulars. The “key of death"— In the collection of the curiosities preserved in the urstml of A c tus, there is a key, of which the following sin gular tradition is related: “About the year 1000, one of those dange rous men in whom extraordinary talent is on ly the fearful source of crime and wickedness I beyond that of ordinary men, came to establish ’ himself as a merchant or trader in Venice. I The stranger, whose name was Tebaldo, be ■ came enamoroed of the daughter of an ancient ’ house, already nflianeed to another. He de intituled her in marriage, and was, of course, j | rejected. Enraged at this, he studied how to lie revenged. Profoundedly skilled in the i mechanic arts, he allowed himself no rest un- ; I til he had invented the most formidable wea ! pon which could be imagined. This was a i key of a large size, the handle of w hich w as so constructed, that it could be turned round with i little difficulty. When turned, it discovered a spring, which, on pressure, launched from | the other end a needle or lancet of such subtle | fineness that it entered into the breast and bu- j : rted itself there w ithout leaving external trace, j —Tebaldo wailed iu disguise at the door of j the church in which the maiden whom belov ed was about to receive the nuptial benedic tion. The assassin sent the slender steel, un perceived, into the breast of the bridegroom. The wounded man had no suspicion of injury but, seized with sudden and sharp pain iu the midst of the ceremony, he fuinted, and was carried to Ins house amid the lamentations of the bridal party. Vain, was all the skill of the physicians, who could not divine the cause of this strange illness, and in a few days he died. “Tebaldo again demanded the hand of the maiden from her parents, and received a second refusal.—They, too, perished miserably iu a few days. The alarm which these deaths, w hich appeared almost miraculous, occasion ed, excited the almost vigilance of the magis trates; and when on close examination of the bodies, the small instrument was found ill the gangrened flesh, terror was universal; every one feared for his own life. The maiden thus cruelly orphaned, had passed the, first months of her mourning in a convent, w hen Tebaldo, Imping to bend her to his will, entreated to speak with her at the grate.—The face of the foreigner had been everdispleasing to her, but since the death of all those most dear to her ■ I had tiecome islious (asthough she had a pre sentiment of his guilt) and her reply was most decisive in the negative. Tebuldo, beyond himself with rage, attempted to wound her through the grate, and succeeded ; the obscu rity of the place preventing bis movement from being observed. On her return to her room, the maiden felt a pain in her breast, and uncovering it she found it spotted with a sin gle drop of blood. The pain increased; the surgeons w ho hastened to her assistance, taught by the past, wasted no time in conjecture, but cutting deep in the wounded part, extracted the needle before any mortal mischief bad commenced, and saved the life of the lady. The state inquisition used every means to dis cover the hud which dealt these insidious and irresistible blow s. The visit of Tebaldo to the convent caused susp < ion to fall heavily upon him. His house was carefully searched, the infamous weapon discovered, and he perished on the gibbet. Tii k Mormons. —A letter from 8. Higdon, one of the Mormon chief* confined in the jail at Liberty, Missouri, (five* the follow ing aliening picture of the persecution* of this deluded class of lunatics:— The guttering*, the calamities, the woe and wretchedness of the Mormons is, at this time unknown to the public generally, not only since the Governor's order, but before. For a length of time before the (lovernor’s order, the Mormons bail been scourged by a company of mobbers, who were constantly wasting their property— gathering togethei and threatening them and their property, with destruction and extermination. The mob which collected in Daviess, immediately subsequent to the election, commenced a general destruction of Mormon property, and destroyed, before the authorities could disperse it, —or, ra ther, before they did disperse it, one hun dred head of cuttle; and, of this number, was the last row that some poor families possessed. And while (ienerals Vtehison, IKmnphnn. and Harks were there, the mob boasted that they lived on Mormon beef and Mormon corn. The mob amounted to four or five hundred; and you may judge of the destitution that must have been made of the property of a poor people w ho had. but a short time before come into the coun try. it was the cause of much suffering and distress among the Mormons. \N hen the mobbers were dispersed at Davies, they weutdireetly to Carroll county and commenced an attacked on the Mormons there, where they obtained a cannon for the purpose. A body of seventy families was closely invested; consisting of men women nnd children; living in w agons and tents, not having bail time to build houses. \ great many sickened and died for want of attention. In this wretched situation they were driven from Dewitt. The same even ing, a lady who was sick died in conse quence of moving her, and was buried by the way-side, without a coffin; thus was a family of children left without a mother. V multitude of children died because their parents could not take proper care of them. Vpplication was made to the Gov ernor for assistance, but lie utterly refused to give the least aid. Distressing Homicide. — V lamentable 1 case occurred at Cincinnati, Ohio, the night ■of Feb. 3d. \ Mr. Love, engineer of the Tarquin steamer, having for several nights i observed a man prowling about his porch 1 and front yard, got up from his bed on the night referred to with a loaded gun, and j seeing the same person running, .Mr. Love : tired and the man fell. On examining his lace, Mr. Love recog nized hurt, and exclaimed, “My God! it is : my friend Nicholas!” and it proved to he a i fireman of the Tarquin, a Dutchman, whose ; name is Nicholas Wentiiiger, A with whom | Love was intimately acquainted, and on terms of close friendship. Such was the confidence which Wertin -1 ger placed in Mr. Love, that he had depos ited in his hands for safe keeping about *l. 500. and had frequently expressed an inten tion to have a will made and to bequeath nis property to him (Love.) as he said he had no relations. Mr. Love is utterly unable to account for the singuiarand suspicious conduct ol'Wer tin ger, and is in great distress at the unfor tunate result. Two of the shot struck the deceased in the back part of the ncc/L which are heliov - ed to be the ones which proved so instant ly fatal. French Steam Fi<ic. atf. Vkeoce. Baltimore , Feb. I:j. This fine vessel, which lies at W aters's wharf, has already attracted very many of our citizens on hoard of her. She is iu truth a most interesting object, and a visit to her will repay even those who came j from the neighboring cities for the special purpose of seeing her. She Is up arils of two hundred feet in length, and atxivt 1 100 tons burthen. She is propelled bj two steuin engines of massive proportions *nd great power, the construction of which * i masterly, and the arrangement such as to! ’ bring the v arious w orking parts under the i eye and w ithin the reach of the engineer. The machinery is entirely under deck, and the disposition of it struck us as being j decidedly better than that of the Great Western. The engine room of the A cloce, however, does not appear to be so fully : protected against accident bv lire as the Western. The cabins and apartments of the officers are commodious, the staterooms quite spacious, and all the details are pro vided which are necessary for the comfort of their geiillcmaiilv occupants. AA'e have already stated that the A'eloce was iron rigged. This peculiarity is car ried out to an extent w Inch is both novel and striking, and well merits the attention of the curious. The various fixtures—the cog-wheels ami the windlasses by w hirh the rigging is worked-meet the eye in every part of ilie bulw arks which enclose her spacious deck, and show that the system lus been fully carried out in all its details. One of the most striking features of this vessel is the arrangement by which her lofty masts are brought down to the deck, Mind her immense yards folded up so that when occasion requires it, her steam power may he used to the best advantage. And so, on the other hand, her steam machinery may he entirely dispensed with, and she may be converted into a sailing vessel, with a heavy spread of canvass at command These latter arrangeuiets, we understand, are the results of the ingenuity and science of her commander, Captain Beehnmeil. Among the visiters who were on hoard yesterday simultaneously with ourselves. ! we saw’ the lion. Vlr. Graves, of Kentucky, and the lion. J. I’. Kennedy, members of Congress, ami Commodore Claxton. of the U. S. Navy. The French Consul of Philu |delphia, Mr. Ilcrsant, came on board at ! noon,and was honored by a salute. We omitted yesterday to slate that on Saturday, at and o’clock, I*. M. the Veloce tired a salute of twenty-one guns to the tlily ; w hich was duly responded to by nn equal number of guns from the Fort, and that the Tricolor and Stars and Stripes mutually exchanged civilities.— American. PULASKI MONUMENT. The Committee appointed by the citizens ol Savannah, in June last, to procure plans and erect a monument, commemorative ol‘ these who perished in the ill-fated Pulaski, have unanimously adopted the plan furnish ed b) John Frazee, Esq. of Mew York. The citizens of other States, who were common sufferers in this melancholy eatas taophe, are invited to co-operate with the citizens of Georgia in the erection of flic monument. The following extract from the latter of Mr. Frazer, which accompa nied the plan, will convey an idea of it to our readers: “ The structure of the monument is square in plan and equilateral; it commenc ed with three steps, the top of the upper step forming a platform upporliug a rusti cated pedestal, alter titc order of the most chaste Grecian Doric. The pedestal is crowned with an entablature, terminating in low pediments at each face of the Monu ment. On the tyinpan of each pediment is sculptured the w inged hourglass, em blematic of the rapid (light of time, and over each angle ol the cornice is raised the tragic mask, an appropriate symbol, found frequently upon the tombs andsareophagic of ancient Greece. The frieze is enriched with a series of ornament, composed of the Imney-suckle llower. A plinth now rises from the plane of the terrace: on one side of the plinth is sculptured in bold relief the wreck of the Pulaski, sinking amidst the overwhelming waves of the ocean; on the side opposite the wreck scene, is intended to be in-sn ibnl a record of the melancholy disaster. We now come to the most im portant icaturr of the monument. A female figure stated on a clifl of the sea immediate ly over the wreck, with a weeping youth leaning upon her knee, present an imposing group of grief; she is designed to portray that intense sorrow and awful agony of soul among -urvivors and friends of those that perished. Nothing of this world can assuage the grief, and in the depth of heart broken anguish she lifts her weeping eves heavenword, looking to God alone as the only source of hope and consolation.'’ lowa. V correspondent of the Buffalo Journal says, that taking into considera tion, the soil, the timber, the water, and the climate, lowa Territory may be consid ered the best part of the Mississippi Valley. The Indians so consider it, ns appears from the name which they gave it.
