Extract of a letter received at Charleston, dated, Georgetown, July 14,1838. » “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. From England.

By the arrival this forenoon of the packet ships Virginian, Harris, from Liverpool, and Burgun dy, Rockett, Irom Havre, lire editors of the Com. mercial advertiser have received files of English and French papers to the latest dales, which are from London to the 7th, Liverpool and Paris to the Bth, and Havre to the 9th June. 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 a vessel ol great speed, and first rate accommo dations, 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, 0 lu the wealthy nobleman’s suite will be the t Landgrave ot Futstembcrg, I'rince Archer 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 '• given to the elite of the nobility, on a scale of - 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 Jossie Ritchie, M’Lachlan, arrived in the f river from St. Domingo, was boarded by a pirate 15th April in the Mona Passage, about 70 miles NE. of Mona Island, who finding the cargo ma ** hogany, took a cask of beef, the captain’s watch, 1 and some clothes belonging to the crew; she was about 170 tons, full of men, with a narrow stern, fillet head, painted masts, and very large sails, and a yellow painted streak all round, with false ports, 3 France. The Paris papers of June 3J announce- the , arrival at that city of Mr. Muhlenburg, envoy , extraordinary, Sic. to the Court of Austria from , the United Stales. He was presented to the , King of France, with Mr. Clay, his secretary, on the 2d. The bill for tho reduction of the 5 per cents , was to be reported to the Chamber of Peers on i the 9th. f The Chamber of Deputies was engaged upon a i bill granting an extraordinary credit of 18,171,408 , francs, for keeping up the French possessions in ■ the North of Africa. A Toulon letter dated June 2nd stales that the r brig of war Dupctit Tbouars was ordered to sail i immediately on a secret mission, supposed to , Mexico. The Toulon papers state that the sloop of war i Porle, the brig Voltigcur, and the transport Indi i enne, had received orders to sail for the coustjof i Mexico, and that the brig lladine had sailed for i the same destination. Belgium and Holland. It was reported in the Paris journals that Prus -1 aia was preparing to enforce tho surrender by , Belgium of Vanloo and other strong places 1 awarded to Holland; but those reports were not . credited at Beilin. It was not doubted, however, that the combined cabinets were disposed to en , force a final settlement of the disputes between Holland and Belgium. , Hanover . The Hamburgh Correspondent affirms that the , opposition in the second chamber is strong enough , to ensure a vote in favor of the constitution of 1833. Hamburg, June I. — The Nicholas I. steam . boat, Captain Btahi, bound from Petersburg to Travemunde, with 132 passengers and a crew of , 33 men, was destroyed by fire in the night of the 31st of May, between 11 and 12 o’clock, ofl'Cross Klutz, about five English miles from the road of Travemunde. Tho ladies and children had reti red to rest, and the gentlemen were still at supper or at cards when the alarm of fire was given. The , captain, with great presence of mind, steered to.- . ward the coast, and ran the vessel aground about 100 paces from shore. The confusion was of course very great, but all the passengers and crew were saved, except five persons, viz: three passengers and two of the crew, who arc missing. Os eleven carnages on ! board, two were thrown overboard, and the oth ers burned, and most of the passengers’ oU'octs * arc lost, 'i'he mail hag and tho despatches of 1 three couriers could not bo saved. The only mo ney on hoard was a barrel of gold, which it is ho. pod may be recovered. [ Spain. r It seems that tho peace-maker Muniagorri has 1 not by any means given up his plan of .relieving ’ the Basque provinces from the afflictions of the civil war. We find the annexed paragraphs in one of the London papers. 1 A letter from Sure of the 28th, informs us that Muniagorri had had an interview at Passages, 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 * privileges. The number of volunteers already enrolled un der his banners, exceed 700 ; and in the night ol * the 20th the lieutenant colonel of the second bal -1 lallion of Guipuscoa came to Ware to offer him his services. I Don Curios left Estella, with his ministers, on the 291 h of May. Just before his departure he - caused the Bishop of Loon, tho auditor-general, 1 and the fiscal, to be arrested. The auditor-gen eral, Scnor Barrtcarti, it is said, was shot two hours afterward, and it was reported that the same 1 fate awaited the bishop and lire fiscal. 1 Don Carlos arrived at Toloso on the 31st, and B on the next day reviewed his troops. Generals [ Zariatcgui and Elio had been condemned to death General Guerguc was disgraced, and was to be succeeded by (Jen. Marolo. h ;.

II Ali Effendi, second sccrctarv of the Turkish embassy at Vienna, drowned himself in the Dan c übe on the 27th of May. Cause unknown, but if supposed to he a violent attack of home sickness. „ From the N. O. Picayune, July Vi. ( j Texas. ~ 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. . Lamar and Col. Bee. We understand that they 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 permanent seal of government. Its po--ition du ! ring the war is highly advantageous—East and West it is nearly central, and in point of health a and comfort it possesses advantages over every e t other place. I, We have learned by a gentleman just from ;j,n Antonio, that a deputation of 12 Cherokee , chiefs had just returned from Malatnora:, estorffd 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 hh) hy hi* coolness and presence of mind. He cut the bow strings of one of the Indians, and succeeded in reaching a thicket where he defend oti himsrU, for some lime, against a huge party. Cage was a disciple of Uowie and an old Indian fighter, and but (or his skill and courage would have been killed.” For the Chronicle <jr Sentinel . 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. Canada Adairs.

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 Chcrokces. 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.

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.
