» “Our crops in this section of country arc very
promising. The Upland crops were very near
being ruined, hut the timely rains which we have
had have pul a new dress upon them, and they
now look pretly,so that the Planter looks forwaid
to a bountiful harvest.
From the Western Georgian.
TheJWheal Crops
Throughout the Cherokee country are ahun.,
dant, and as far as we have been able to ascertain
are much better in tbe old settled parts of Geor
gia than they have been known for a number of
vears. The Federal Union remarks, “the grow
ing crop" of wheat in the diflerent parts of the
1 * Stale we learn, looks far better than they have
/ so. several years past. A much heavier and lar
ger crop will be reaped than has been made for
several years in Georgia.” The 1 ennessee Jour
nal of the 27th June, says “the prospect of the
farmer in this section of country, ts very cheer
ing. It is enough to make a man proud ofh.s
home, to see the numerous fields of wheat, the
best ever seen in the country since its first set
tlement. waving before tbe gentle breeze and
brightening for the harye.l. And then the oatr.
and rye, and in short, every species of grain crop
has the most flourishing appearance. Now, in
deed, may the husbandman labor cheerfully, for
he has the sure promise of a rich reward.” The
cotton crops Jn Alabama have been very much
injured by the cold backward spring. Added to
this, di tie rent kinds of insects have made their
appearance, and in some places, have swept whole
fields.

Great Itntaiii.
The most prominent topic of tire London pa»
pets is the fatal riot near Canterbury, of which
wc published a long account on the arrival of
the Great Western. The subject had been
brought up in Parliament, in consequence of ccr.
tain serious charges alleged against the magis
trates of Kent and the keepers of the lunatic asy
lum in which Courtenay had been confined, fi r
allowing him to go at large. The charge was
made in the Chronicle. Courtenay’s real name,
it seems, was John Nicholls Tom.
The affair was investigated by the magistrates
on the 4th, at Favesham in Kent, fifteen of the
prisoners being before them, four of whom were
committed on the charge of wilful murder. Nine
of the rioters were killed in the affray.
The papers give portraits of Tom, or Courte
nay, in his rich velvet gown covered with gold
chains, his long blach beard, &c. He appears to
have deluded his followers much as Matthias did
some in this city, making them believe that ho
was the Deity, able to work miracles, &c.
Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson left London on the4lh
of Juno, on a short visitto Earl Spencer.
The London Chronicle of June 7 contains a
full report of the dinner given to Sir Francis
Head, on the 6th. When the health of Sir Fran
cis was proposed, he rose and commenced a speech
in which, he said, he was anxious to explain what
had been the conduct of the North American
colonies, and that of the United States ami their
citizens; hut before ho had entered upon the de
tails of liis exposition, “lie was so much over
come by his embarrassment that he was utterly
unable to go on, and after several unavailing at.
tempts, resumed Ids seat amidst loud cheers,”
The Royal William, steam packet, it is stated
in the Liverpool Mail, was to sail from that port
for New York on theSthJuly. She is said to be

Hkh Majesty’s Coboitation Robes.—lin
ring the whole of yesterday vast crowds of respec
table people were attracted to the house of Mr.
Edward Howe, a silk weaver, in Castle street, not
far from Shoreditch church, to view the splendid
robes to be worn by her Majesty at (lie approach
ing coronation and which werejust finished and
out from the loom on that morning.
The contract for the manufacture of the robes
os well as 650 yards of the most beautiful silk
.jr bo hanging and decoration of Westminster
At') ■ was taken by Mr. Stilwell, of While Lion
street, iVorton Falgatc, who confided the task to
Mr. Edward Howe and Mr. William Coe, two of
the most ingenious operatives in the silk trade.
Some idea may bo fanned of lire variety when
no less than 20 different shuttles were obliged to
bo in work at the same time. The principal sur
face appears to be massive gold, and the figures
which are bold and considerably raised are of the
most magnificent description. Those of the regal
crown, the rose, the shamrock and the thistle, are
truly beautiful.
The eagle, the fleur-de-lis, and other foreign
national emblems, arc also very prominent ami
beautifully executed, and do infinite credit to the
skill, taste, and judgement of the manufacturer. —
The hangings arc of a less costly description, but
are still of a most tasteful kind. The ground is
of blue satin, and the shoot of gold-colored rich
silk.
The fact of tiro order for these splendid articles
having been sent to Spilalficlds has given the
greatest satisfaction to the whole of the industri
ous operatives of that district.
The Coronation.
The preparations at Westminster Abbey are
advancing with much rapidity, the chic ( portion
of the carpenter’s work having been completed.
The oriel and side galleries aro now under the
decorative hands of the upholsterers, and report
speaks of the silks and s ull’s which are to be
used as coverings for the scats, canopies, »*kc., as
most costly and elegant. 'The orchestral gallery
is in forwardness, and when it is completed, and
the new organ, which is described as an instru
ment of surpassing power and rich lone, is in its
destined place,dt is expected that the interior ol
the abbey will present a coup d’aiil of magnifu
cence and architectural grandeur equal to any
thing attempted in Europe on a similar occasion.
The important ceremony is fust approaching;
and although the ministry would not have the
day made one of rejoicing on the usual scale ol
splendour, yet it appears the whole population of
the united kingdom will devote the day to festi
vity. London, perhaps, will not be so crowded
with illustrious foreigners as when the continen
tal sovereign visited this country at the general
peace;'but many individuals of distinguished rank
will come over in the capacity of ambassadors
extraordinary, and numerous officers of rank will
accompany them as aide j-de-camp.
It is staled that his Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke Alexander, son of the Emperor ol
Russia, who was to be present at this august
ceremony, attended by Prince Lievcn and a brilo
liant suite of Russian nobles, has not decided
whether he will visit this country, in consequence
of the early day fixed. The report that his Royal
Highness the Fnoce of Orange would come over,
accompanied by his sons, turns out to be unfoun
ded.
His Royal Highness Prince Adelbert, nephew
of the King of Prussia, it is thought, will ac
company his highness Prince Pulhas. It is said
his royal highness is possessed of brilliant talents,
and is fond of naval architecture, and that the
dock yards of this country were as great an at
traction as the. coronation. The Landgrave o
Hesse Homburg has signified bis intention of be
mg present at the coronation, and is cxpeclet
daily In London.
Os the embassies, many will be of less tplen
dor than at the coronation of George IV., bu
' those of Austria, Prussia, France, and Russia
are expected to be most splendid. Hi* hlghnes
| PrinceSchwartzciibnrg, Ambassador Extraordi
nary from Ausliia, is expected in the course ot
fortnight, and will have the high honor of pre-
) steming her Majesty with the insignia of the
- grand cross of the order of St. Stephen, of Hun
r gory, from the Emperor of Austria. The jewels
e are diamonds, emeralds, and rubies, of enormous
i magnitude ami great value,

e Count Charles do CJrunne, Count Alex.
Erdody Sic. A suite of apartments have been
engaged for his highness at one of the principal
hotels, where a series of grand banquets will bo

- princely magnificence, His royal highness, the
e Duke de Nemours, will be the bearer of a present
from his august father the King of the French.

The confusion was of course very great, but
all the passengers and crew were saved, except

r It seems that tho peace-maker Muniagorri has
1 not by any means given up his plan of .relieving

with Lord John Hay on tho evening of the 26th,
’ and that his lordship had communicated lu him a
. despatch from his government, authorizing him to
afford the independent chief all the aid he might
require for the success of his undertaking.
Muniagorri had returned to Sure on the 271 h,
! and published a shoit proclamation, in which he
announced that he had been promised the support
of both France and England in his attempt to re
’ store peace to tho four provinces, anil to obtain
1 for them the full enjoyment of their ancient

~ We yesterday received a letter from a friend
,| at Velasco, from which we make the following
- extracts: “Velasco, July 7, 1838.
’ The sales of town property here have just do.
sed, something like a hundred thousand dollars
v worth of property was sold, and only a fraction
„ of the entire interest disposed of.—Among the
d purchasers of lots we notice the names of Gen.

e intend to have their residence at this place.—
t- We also notice some of our most extensive plan
lets purchasing for the purpose of residences.
The proprietors intend laying a proposition he
'd fore the next Congress offering this place ai, the

West it is nearly central, and in point of health
a and comfort it possesses advantages over every

I’y 150 Mexican Cavalry, and that they had
made a treaty with the Mexicans.
It is expected that we have much just cause of
apprehension at their hands— several indications
nl hostility hove already occurred. Many little
parlies ot surveyors have been attacked and some
destroyed. Capt. B. F. Cage and a Mr. Camp
hell were recently attacked near San Antonio by
a patty of Cumanchos: the latter was killed and
the Jortner was shot through, and only saved his

The Loss of the Puluski.
1 ho gallant boat has left the shore,
My native hills grow dim to view ;
•soon, soon I’ll heat the dark sea’s roar,
Which calms the soul with music new :
Each object dear which minds of home,
Now Hitting by, but paitly seen,
Would seem to crush the wish to roam,
While gliding o’er the sea serene.
The eve wanes last, still on she glides,
While ’lore her prow the waters curl;
Upon her speed herself she prides,
As round her stern the eddies whirl,
A cheering joy pervades each breast,
While o’er the wave she swiltly hounds ;
No thought of death disturb their rest,
Nor silence chill, or om’nous sounds.
As night o’erhung, hush’d was the hum
Os busy voices on the deck ;
A noiseless calm hud o’er us come,
Yet void of gloom, our joy to check :
Each tir’d guest had sought his berth,
To while away the lagging hour;
Hopes of repose took place of mirth,
With those who’d woo its gentle power.
Perhaps some few made choice of sleep,
(.Expectants of to.morrow’s dawn,)
T’ escape the threat’nings of the deep,
Or test their joys with those hy-gonc ;
Forsooth to dream of scenes they’d left,
Where sportive joy had held his fete.
Hark! Haik! that sound of hope bereft,
For ages on my heart will grate.
That sound still rings with echo loud—
Each startled sleeper’s ’pon his led,
Ono blast of steam lays low a crowd ;
A single blast, their God they meet.
Those who survive, unconscious still,
How short the spate, ’twixt life and death,
Now sought to calm the feeling chill,
Which almost stopp'd their half drawn breath.
Wc linger yet, a moment’s fears,
Do ye not hear that lushing sound,
Within its verge glim death careers,
Above the maim’d and drown’d :
With terror wing’d, aloft they haste,
While round thorn curl the frowning waves ;
High rear’d above a wal’ry waste,
Their threat’ning crests, wide yawning graves.
The luckless boat’s career is o’er,
Her matchless make has prov’d a curse ;
The rushing floods within her pour,
And o’er the sea her frame disperse.
Man too must struggle if he’d breathe,
And boldly seize whate’or he miry J
Soon, soon the floods will round her wreathe,
And bury her ’ncath their boisl’rous play.
A mass of waters whirling round,
Above her (now last sinking) rolls,
Mingles the living, dead and drown’d,
And o’er their forms the sea-dirge tolls.
Hark! hark! those screams, those wailing tones,
(Forever heard by those who’ve heard ;)
The shrill dcalh-stnieks, the bubbling groans
Os those to whom grim death appear’d.
Oh! mournful scene ; ah! hapless slate !
A single plank ’twixt death and life !
Here struggled hard against their fate,
A husband dear, a loving wife ;
A father there supports his son,
Amidst old ocean’s foaming brine;
A mother, daughters, too outdone,
A husband, father, left to pine.
A daughter, struggling ’gainst her doom,
Invokes a father’s aid to save,
He seeks her ’midst the threal’ning gloom,
In vain, she’s found n wal’ry grave.
Those struggling still are soon o’erwhelm’d,
A midst the fragments of the wreck ;
Huge timbers hy the waves propell’d,
Sweep o’er, with speed, their immers’d deck.
The living and lire dead, alike,
Yielding to their resistless force ;
A huddled mass, together strike,
Ami sink, locked in a joint embrace.
The rich and poor, the gay anil grave,
The general risk and lot must share ;
No hoards of wealth, the former save,
Nor talent, wit, the latter spare.
Who can describe that awful night—
Its hopes, its fears, its load of grief 1
The heart alono that’s felt its blight,
To which the future’s no relief.
One noble mind needs all its strength,
To bear the blow which chastens now ;
A moment’s loss, an age in length,
And misery’s stamp upon his brow.
A tender wile anil children lost,
Ami but one left to stay him here;
A son, the last, a father’s boast,
Is all that death to him would spare
The surf, the rest has cover’d o’er,
Reposing in one common grave ;
Oh ! why should wc their end deplore,
Jehovah did their presence eiavo.
Though dead to us, yet still they live,
The brightest gems in mem’iy’s store ;
Compassion, too, a tear shall give,
When told the tale in future lore.
Their knell will he a nation’s wail,
Re echo’d o’er the ocean’s wave ;
Th* Atlantic too ’ll his breast unveil,
And give to them an honour’d grave.
Os woven.

- “Gentlemen, —I am deeply cerstble of your

A win! Shipwreck. a
We have this week to iccord one of the most v
calamitous cases of shipwreck that ever came tin- j
de r our notice. Os the forty one hitman beings
on hoard lwo only were miraculously preserved, (|
one of whom u highly respectable and intelligent y
young man,second son nf Mr. David Willis, ship
owner, of this town and who was second mate .
of the vessel at the time of her loss, has furnish
ed us with the following particulars; The Mar- J
garcl of Nowry, transport, of 826 tuns burthen,
commanded by Mowbry, after taking in a quan
tity of stores in the Thames, for the use ot her J
Majesty’s troops in Canada, proceeded to Cork,
at which place she completed her landing- Wail
ing from thence on her place of destination on
the morning of lhe26lhnlt. having on board in
addition to the crew which consisted of the cap- (
tain, the chief ami second males, and twenty live
able seamen, two officers’ladies, with their elnl
dren, seven in number, the captain's wife and .
child, two ostlers, and twelve horses. The wea
ther at the time of her departure was fine; hut
shortly after noon a fresh breeze sprung up from |
the SHE. which as the day advanced increased I
to a gale, accompanied with thick showers ol d
snow. At about half past llp. m. the ship being y
still on the same tack,in the darkness of the g
night, and during a heavy fall of snow struck on
the rocks lying oil' Cape Clear, at the distance ol
about a mile from the main—the sea making a
complete breach over her; and shortly after the
captain his wife and child, were successively en
gulphed in the raging abyss. The chief male s
with a view to steady the ship, which was heat
ing violently on the reef, ordered the carpenter to «
cut away tha main shrouds and mam mast, which 11
was promptly dune, tlic|mast being left about two | V
thirds cut through. The whole of the crow and j
passengers then sought refuge in the forepart of |
the ship, wiih the exception ol the survivors, Mr. <
Willis and a seaman of the name of .laores John
son, a native of North .Shields, who lashed thorn
selves to the mainmast, on the windward side.
Shortly afterwards the mainmast went over the
lee, carrying wiih it the two helpless seamen,
who on their again rising to the surface flouted J
freely. A few minutes afterwards the foremast
went by the board, hanging over the lea aide of
the vessel, only attached to her by the shionding,
with the unfortunate Sadies and children lashed .
thereto for safety, the remainder of the crew elm
• gingto various pans of the ship. At this tno
I ment the universal shriek of despair which hurst
from the dnvoted group, was of the most heart
- rending description. Mr. Wit). and hmcompan- ,
- lon in misfortune at length drilled clear ol tho
I wreck, surrounded by an accumulation of horrors,
exposed to Ore fury of the mic.v .“term, and en
ve/oped!hy the darkest shade of night tile; magi
to which they were lashed 'Continued to drift iii
the direction of Cape Clear, until six o’clock, a.
rn. when they perceived a largo dog «f the Now
foundland breed, which had belonged to Ihte Issi.
fortunato chief male, swimming towards them,
and which they contrived to place on the mast
beside them, fn this hopeless condition they re
mained until half past 10, a. m. when they reach*
ed the shore, well nrgh exhausted. The saga*
cioua brute which accompanied them immediate
ly on landing fact ofl to a protective station,
where by the singularity 0 r it, actions, it attrac
ted the attention of four ol the coast guaid who
were eventually induced to follow it, which cir
cumstance led to the discovery of the guttering
ma ri iiors.— Sunder tan d Beacon.

The latest intelligence from the Cherokee coun
try is contained in tho following article, from the
Western CJeorgiau of July 10:
“We arc informed by Col. James Liddell, Uni
ted Stales’ Agent lor settling Indian claims, that
both tbe treaty and anti treaty parties, express
themselves us perfectly satisfied with the Isle ar
rangomenls of the United Slates Government,
in extending the time ol their removal to the first
September; which will give them, it is thought,
ample time to arrange and bring to a linal close,'
their business in this country. They (tho Cho
rokeos) have moreover pledged themselves to
throw no obstacle in|lhc way, or|ask futtherdelay,
but on tho contrary, use their influence to recon
cile lire disallcctod part of the Boss, dan to tho
measure. They are to ho divided into ten de
tachments, and lortn encampments at ton differ
ent points on the Tennessee River, and lines of
boundaries laid off around each, which no Imli
on will be allowed to leave without a written per
mit from under the hand of the officer ip confe
rnanft Those who formerly resided in the same
neighborhoods in Georgia and elsewhere, and
who wish to settle as neighbors in Arkansas, are
suffered to occupy the same encampment, which
has been productive of a great deal more harrno
ny attd good feeling among the common Indiana
than at first existed. They have also, entered
into a written contract to suppress as far as in
their power, and discountenance every thing lib«
drunkenness, and sutler no spirits of any descrip
tion, brought into thejcncumpmcnt. When the
lime arrives for their departure, they will leave
within two days of each other, which will bting
it to the last cud of the month before the last or ’
tenth detachment will be able to take up their line
of march, lly this time, the planters through
out the Slates through which they pass, Will have
their crops gathered, and provisions of all kinds
will bo obtained much cheaper, than they could
possibly be had at l his lime. This no doubt, will
save the Government some thousands, especially
when wo take into consideration the large <|uan
lily of provisions laid in at Ross’ Landing and
Calhoun, which, had they taken their departure
at the lime stipulated, would have come under
(be hammer, and in all probability sold for a trifle,
in comparison to tiro first cost. Too much praise
cannot bo awarded Gen. Scott, so the faithful
and satisfactory manner in which he has perfor
med his duly to the Stales interested; to the Uni
ted Stales Government, and for the kind and li.
bcral treatment the Indians have received at hto
hands, and at the hands of the officers and mcr<
under Iris command.”
A StNutii.Au Cask for Medical Men.—
On tho morning of the Fourth, while the sal
ute was firing on the Bailcry, two young men
were bathing rn the rear of Castle Garden.—
1 he two were diving into the water just at
the moment when one o I ihe heavy guns wan
discharged. It was observed that they re
mained under water un unusual length of time;
but they at length crime up, and appeared to
(Ire bystanders to behave m a strange and tin
itsnri/ manner. They were rescued mid taken
from tiro water, and what is horrid to relate,
both were utterly bereft ol reason. They wore
conducted to their homes, where one of them
remained till l''rulny in a state of insanity, at
which Inna there wore signs of returning rea
son. iho other in still a maniac, ami has
been sent to the Assyhim at Bellevue. N. Y
Exjiresi.
A singular and fortunate escape is mentioned
in the Inst Zanesville Ga/.eltc. Mr. G. Franker
ol that place, having plunged in the Muskingum
river with a view to bathing, had scarcely dived
hall a rod before he fell himscll caught in the up
per lip by a fishing hook of very large size, and
suddenly thrown hack. After an ineffectual at
tempt to loosen the line ho caught it in his teeth
and succeeded in biting it in two, and swam lo
shore with the hook fast through his lip. Ho
was held under water by (he line, and had he
failed in severing it with his teeth, he would have
been obliged to tear tin? hook from his lip, or sub
mit to speedy strangulation. —[Columbus (OhinJ
Iteg.]
At ci i»knt.—The whole of the plastering on
the ceiling of the church on Schuykill Third street
fell on Moutlay night, and crushed the body pews
ol tho building. Tho house was built by th
Methodist Episcopal denomination, upon ground
given for that purpose by William Hwaini Esq.—
Hail tho accident of Monday happened during
the hours of worship, there would have been a
terrible loss of life, and much personal injury hex
stile.'. Providentially no person was in tho buil
ding when the plastering fell. It is supposed (list
the accident occurred ir consequence of the great
beat upon some of die limbers of the roof.— Phif.
