, 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.

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.

membranes) weighed Gibs, and con

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.
