Although Genius like virgin gold is in almost
every part of the civilized world estimated at its
true worth, and although there is evidently some
thing of an aberration either in judgment or feel
ing in graduating talent in reference to country,
yet it is somewhat gratifying to know that even
in the infancy of our country some of our sons of
valor anil of gcnius have honorably flourished on
British and on classic ground. Our celebrated
countryman West, and his cotemporary Copley,
were for many years at the head cf the graphic
art; a sou of the father is now under the title of
Lord Ly ndhurst, Lord Chancellor oftlie kingdom;
Isaac Coffin of Hallowe! Maine, has to the order
of Knighthood the substantial honor o.f an Admi
ral in the British Navy; Knight sustains the
same standing; Capt. Apthorp and others might
be mentioned who have done honor on a foreign
soil to their native land.
While wc arc aware of the local causes which
have opera'cd on the advancement of individuals
to their high and enviable standing in the litera
ry world or in their military career; yet we can
uot but commend that noble spirit which is seen
iu the British nation as it receives to its embrace
and covers with its its highest honors the taleuts
aud geoins of anotherclime.

NEW ORLEANS, AIAY 15.—Atpful Cn-' Lnv ' 1
tastrophe.—The three story brick building on the
south side of Canal-street, ami between Camp
and Alagazine sis, occupied os the Planters’
Hotel, and kept by Charles Armstrong, fell to
the earth Inst night about half past 2 o’clock*
Repairs had lately been making in the lower
story, aud it is presumed that too much of the
supnort had been incautiously cut away.
The hotel was occupied as an eating house,
and it is calculated, contained at the moment of
the dreadful accident between sixty anil seventy-
inmates. The billinid room which had been
very full till late a’ night, had closed only a short
time before. A voting gentleman who left it but
a few minutes before the fall of tho building,
states that he passed co the opposite side of the
street, to his boarding house, went on to the gal
lery in front, where he heard three distinct and
loud cracks, resembling the discharge of small
cannon, then a sound like an earthquake, ns
the mass fell, and-for a moment after, one and
only one appalling erv, as if by the united voices
of the sufferers ! Tiic alarm was directly given
to the citizens, the bolls rung, and engine com- '
panics turned out.
Dr. Campbell was immediately on the spur,
rendering surgical and medical aid. At half
past three o’clock about fifteen of the sufferers
had been rescued from the rubbish and saved
The voices of many could be heard under the!
crushed mass, and when we left to make this
brief notice, hundreds cf citizens were exerting
themselves to extricate the mangled and bruised
bodies of the victims ofthis awful casualty.—Bui- :
letin.
We understand that there were about fifty per-1
sons iii the Planters’ Hotel at the time ofits fall. '
In tho course of tho day there were taken out'
dead the body of a gentleman from Yellow i
