Tissot, Solomon, Jordan, Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE, Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases. This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which i s divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay, 'impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility, will find this P Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his ocke va t rious wants.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease , which , for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sex es, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habi( s practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all su s pec ted. - The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing. this work, be directed and very much assisted in Investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health a nd ultimately the lives of his pupils arc sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth , an d a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health shoul d a pp ear to attack any of his young , what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis. estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

PAST AND PRESENT CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. CRIMINAL COURT.-(FRIDAY.) NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) • Ann Halton was indicted for stealing five spoons, 000 coat, one -pair of trowsers, one shawl, and ether articles, value 171., the property of William Henry Bailey, her master, and Emeline Halton, her sister, was charged with receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. The prosecutor deposed that on the 6:h of July he missed the articles named in the indictment, and gave the prisoner into custody: Police constable 10 G proved to taking the primer Emeline into custody, in John's-row, St. Luke's, .with some of the stolen property in her possession. Ihe prisoner here became excessively violent, and, pulling off her shoe, flung it across at the constable, who was stand ing in the witness-box, calling him, at the same time, a-- lying rogue. • The COMMON SERGEANT said, he did not think the case of feloniously receiving to be made out against Eineline Halton ; he should, therefore, order her to be discharged. The sen tence of the Court on Ann was, that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. John Phillips, and Ellen his wife, were indicted for steal ing several articles of household furniture, the property of John Proud. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 4th of August a distress was put into the prosecutor's premises, and the male prisoner was appointed to act as broker or keeper, and in that capacity stole the articles named. The Commow SERGEANT in addressing the prisoner, John Phillips, after the Jury had returned a verdict of Guilty, said that the fact of the capacity in which the prisoner acted ren dered his crime of the blackest hue. He should therefore, for the protection of the poorer and more distressed Classes who were subjectto the mercy of persons in the pri.oner's situation, deem it his duty to make a severe example of him. He should sentence him to seven years' transportation. John Gosling and William Brooks were indicted for steal ir.g a purse, containing half•a- crown, from the person of Mary Fitzpatrick. It appeared by the evidence that all the parties were drink ing together in a public-house in Clare-market at the time the robbery was committed. The Jury, having returned a verdict of Guilty, the Court sentenced Gosling to two months', and Brooks to one month's imprisonment au hard labour. Sarah Cole, a poor and sickly looking female, veith a -tittld in her arms, was indicted for stealing a pewter pot, value 15.6 d., the property of John Hanson. 'I he prosecutor said he was the proprietor of a public-house in High -street, Kensington, and suspecting the prisoner, he caused a policeman to search her lodgings, where the pot was found. The constable in addition said that he found some lead melted down. The prisoner in her defence said she got the pot with some porter a few days before at the prosecutor's house. 'the Jury. after some consultation, recalled the prosecutor, who, in reply to a question, said the prisoner had been in the habit of taking beer from his house, and that on such occasions ha allowed her to take it in one of his pots. A verdict of Guilty having been returned, the prisoner was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, and bard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE , MANSION-HO USE. The Commissioners of Sewers having caused on Tues day one of the clothes' dealers in the oru " clothes" mar ket in ,C utl er-street, Houndsditch, to be charged,with hav ing obstructed their constables in the execution of the duty of preventing the multitude from assembling in that place, and the Lord Mayor having inflicted a penalty for the offence, it was supposed that the market was at an end. The calculation, however, was erroneous. A complete and vigorous resistance to the authority of the Commissioners has been the consequence. Yesterday Mr. Tyrrell, the Solicitor to the Commis sioners of Sewers, attended before the Lord Mayor to complain against three clothes-dealers, who not only re fused to quit the spot, but urged others to proceed with the sale and exchange of old clothes in the usual way. Mr. Wire, of the firm of Wire and Child , a nd Mr. Isaacs, attended for the defendants, young men of re spectable appearance. • Mr. Tyrrell stated that notwithstanding the infliction of the penalty of 10s. upon the former defendant for the violation of the law, the dealers assembled and showed a determination to carry on business in the teeth of the au thorities. The defendants had, in a very deliberate man ner, broken the law, and he should therefore, as he should en all future occasions, go for the whole of the penalties, 2t each. Mr. Wire pleaded that his clients must either transact their business in Cutler-street, or the Corporation of London must procure some place for them to which they could transfer it, for it was quite impossible that they could submit to the alternative of starving. It was a question also, not only whether the Lord Mayor had any jurisdiction, but whether there was not a sort of prescriptive right upon the part of the dealers. But it would be easy enough to come to an arrangement, if the thing were not pushed on with so much impe tuosity. If the Commissioners of Sewers would give a couple of hundred pounds, and the Lord Mayor would suggest to the corporation to give a similar sum, the wealthy Jews would, in all probability, make up the difference, and erect a building in which the business of these poor men could be carried on without annoyance to any individuals whatsoever. Mr. Tyrrell then stated that liensould consent to the discharge of the defendants until Attorney-General's opinion should be procured. The justice-room was crowded by those who were interested in the question. The part of the city in which the market is held has been in a state of the wildest con fusion during the whole week.

GUILDHALL. On Wednesday last, Mr. Yates, and thirteen other gentlemen, who are shareholders in the Union Flint Glass Company, appeared at this office before Sir P. • Laurie, in order to make statements of complaint of the conduct of the Directors of the Company, and to ask the advice of the Magistrate as to the course they should purque, in order to prevent the Directors from causing them to incur further responsibility. • On Saturday Mr. Morris, the Chairman of the Direc tors of the Company ; Mr. Reynolds, the Deputy Chair man. • Mr. Wilson, the • Secretary ; M essrs. Glover, ' Cheese and Reynolds, ' Directors, attended before S ir James Duke, with Mr. Horry, the barrister, and Mr. D. Wire, the solicitor to the Company, to complain of the statements made against the Directors. After the ordi dinary business had been dispatched, the party adjourned to the private room, when the worthy Alderman stated that he thought the business upon which the gentlemen had met was not one for magisterial decision. Mr. Wilson said that a report of the previous applica tion had been published in the Times and other journals, which was not only untrue in nearly all its parts, but likely to make an unfavourable impression against,the Directors. Sir J. DUKE suggested that it would be better for the matter to stand over until Monday, when they could meet Sir Peter Laurie, who had heard the complaint in the first instance, and who he was certain would give it his best attention. It would be improper for him (Sir J. Duke) to adjudicate upon a matter which had been heard .exparte by another Magistrate. • Mr. Wire said the Directors had been maligned un- . justly, for instead of acting in the waystated, every step they had taken was with the view to the benefit of the shareholders. One falsehood stated was, that the princi pal Director had left the . country, and it was added , that there was only one of the Board of Management who was a monied man, whereas there was one gentleman now in the room who could pay more than all the liabilities of the Company, which was a bona fide one, and not of the description represented. The Directors had not ex ceeded their estimates, which had been tested by a competent gentleman conversant with the glass trade, and reported to be s u ch as to ensure an ultimate profit for the money embarked in the speculation. The Directors had no wish to bring an action against the ' papers, but they thought that the proprietors sould be ' called upon to give a negative statement through the same vehicle as early as possible, and the sooner that was done the better. 8 years a go I visited the Same Spot, and a Sister Marled to a Labouring Man a Sober and industers Man ; and I was informd they Never had any Meat, Chees, Butter, Tea or Shougar. or Beer, their Diet was Bread, or Pudding, or Vege tables, their Drink Toast and Water, no Sunday Cloaths, no, Money Saved by the Children, I Finde it is wors and Wors every year, the working Man in London is Getting Less and Less ever year, and those that Can get work their Pay is so Small that they Work Night and Day to keep them Selves out of Debt; I Work for Less and Less every year,—l very Sel dome have any Meat, Excep on Sundays, if their was Freetrado their would be as many.

A WORKING MAN. A Director said that the traducers knew, before they - - left Bromley, that the Magistrate had no power to ad, but they said they would apply, in order that their statement should appear in the public newspapers. The Directors were willing Sir Peter Laurie should sec all their transactions, and arbitrate between them and the shareholders; they did not wish to conceal a single trans action. The gentlemen then withdrew," upoh an Under standing that they were to have an interview with Sir Peter Laurie in the early part of the week. LAMBETH-STREET. After the night charges had .been disposed of, Thomas Sterne and Elizabeth his wife were placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, and charged with being concerned in a wholesale system of plunder on .the licensed victuallers of the district. From the evidence it appeared that on that forenoon the prisoners were met by Clay, a constable of the K division, and, suspecting by their manner that all was not right, he asked what they had in the basket carried by the female. The male prisoner replied that that was no affair of his, and abused him as an impudent fellow. Clay, who was in plain clothes at the time, drew out his staff, . and, stating that he was - an officer, insisted on searching them. He did so, and finding that the basket was full of publicans' pots, he requested the assistance of Mr. Hemmingways, the land lord of the Weaver's Arms, in the Mile-end road, who was accidently passing at the time, to take them to the watchhouse, and on their way there the male prisoner voluntarily took off his hat, and handed Clay a pint pot, nearly bent together, which he had concealed over his head. After locking them up, Clay proceeded to their lodgings, and there found a frying pan, which was evi dently used for the purpose of melting down pots, with upwards of 101bs. of the melted metal in it. On further searching, the officers found a great number of pots be longing to various publicans in the vicinity of the Mile end-road, and also a great number of liquor glasses, tum blers, 80., some of which had the name and marks filed out. Mrs. Good, landlady of the Black Boy, in the Mile end-road ; Miss Grant, of the-White Swan, in the same neighbourhood ; and Mr. Melehan, of the North Briton , Bedford-square East, identified a portion of the measures produced, and each recognized the prisoners as being fre quently at their houses.

The papers by this arrival are barren of interest to the English reader, exccpt that portion which relates to the passing of the Fiscal Bank Bill by a majority of shirt) -two votes, and which only wanted the sig nature of the President to become the law of the United States. The following are the only interesting extracts : FLORIDA. TALLAHASSEE, „limy 28. —We learn by a letter received by the last snail from Marianna, that a few days since a party of Indians, supposed to number about 30, visited the setth ment of Mr. Morris Simms, in Jackson county, about 12 miles below Marianna, near Chipola river, murdered his twe daughters, the one seven and the other two years of age, plun dered his smoke house of a quantity of bacon, a barrel f flour, and.what other previsions they could find, killed several hogs, and crippled two horses, with spears or spiked arrows. The little girls were found in the cow-pen, pierced with spiked ar rows, and their brains dashed out with lightwood notes. EAST FLORIDA, JULY 31.—Captain Seawell, iti; infantry, on a scout a few days since, between Volusia and the Och lawaha, came upon a large party of Indians, who fled imme diately on giving their fire, by w hick a sergeant under his com mand was killed. It was not known whether the fire of Cap tain S. killed any of the enemy. Some 30 acres of corn were destroyed by Captain S.

There appears to be a general prostration of business through out Mexico. In the capital it was said Don Lucas Alaman ,had failed for more than $1,000,000.

The sale of upwards of seven hundred thousand dollars State Stocks, on Monday, at the Merchants' Exchange, by the Comp troller of this State, will no doubt create a large attendance and some, excitement. This large sale is brought out on ac count of several free banking associations who have failed to meet their bills on demand. The Stocks consist of those of the States of New York, Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Alabama. The sale of so large an amount, under the ham- amer, will possibly affect the market. The rate of bills on New Orleans has declined to 5i a 54, and on Mobile to lOk a lot. U. S. Bank notes are dull at 25 per cent. discount. But one million of the million and a half of dollars the Se cretary of the Treasury put into market of the twelve million loan, has yet been negotiated, as we now understand. There is no hurry, we presume, for the other. The quantity of goods coming in now in every packet ship will hardly make it ne cessary to negotiate the full amount of the loan, for these importations are unexpectedly large. Of the Three Million Loan, Six per Cents., the State Go vernment has put into the market, but about one million, as we understand, is wanted just now. Can there be a doubt, that it will all be taken up ? The interest on 100.000 dols. of the Illinois Stock called of the Loan of 1861 remain unpaid, but this is said to be no fault of the State, whose Commissioners now in the city, it is be lieved, will soon take care of this. The interest on some of the Arkansas Stocks remain un paid, in consequence of some of the drafts remitted by the State having been dishonored by the North American Trust and Banking Company, on which they were drawn.

The Bank Bill was the only subject of conversation in New York. (From the New York Daily Express, Aug. 11.) THE BANK BlLL.—There is, of course, nothing new from Washington respecting the fat e of ie Bank Bill ;. but, in the anxiety of its friends for its passage, more doubt of its fate is expressed. All the Whig papers of the city, :however, express strong hopes an a belief that the Executive will hearken to the voice of the people, as indicated by the House of Representatives. The Commercial expresses great fear of consequences, if a 'veto comes. The American will not stoop to contem plate them.. The Courier considers that a veto from Mr. Tyler would be " a crime." The. Journal of. Commerce rather hopes there will be one. The stock, it says, of the bank, as it is, cannot be taken up by the capitalists here. But what capitalists gave the Journal authority to speak in behalf of all? Thus, the prospects of the Bank Bill mainly engrosses the attention of the public press. WASHINGTON. AUG. 9.—We are all in the dark here as yet, in regard to the intended action of the President. " To veto or not to veto," that is the question which you hear in every nook and corner of the city. The lobbies and purlieus of the Capitol remind you of Tammany or National Hall when the polli are Closed and the multi tude are waiting the announcement of the result of some important election. Hope, anxiety, and fear are strongly written upon the countenances of all who take an interest in the issue, and I see none who do not, not except ing even the women and children of the city. I hear a dozen . stories circulating through the city in regard to what is to be done, but rely upon none of them, for as yet the President keeps his most intimate friends in the dark as .to . bis intentions. There are, therefore, the same reasons to believe that the Bill will be approved now as ever. One of the important rumours flying about the city is, that the President has called upon his Cabinet for written opinions, and that these opinions will be heard on Wednesday next. Another rumour is, that the so-called Proviso of Mr. Clay, in regard to branches, was recommended to the friends of the Administration in Congress by the Cabinet as a provision which would be likely, to give satisfaction to the Executive. The inference drawn from the rumlur, supposing it to be true, is, that it will place the Cabinet in collision with the President ; consequently we have another dozen rumours in regard to an intended and de termined resignation of the Cabinet. The Sub -Treasury Bill, you will observe, is now re pealed by the House and Senate. The repeal will be placed in the bands of the President to-morrow, and . With some acquaintance with the fact that a majority of , forty-seven of the representatives of the people are against the measure. Without any means of'keeping or disbursing the public money except under the resolution of 1816, it is not improbable. a new inducement may be presented for approving the Bank Bill: lam sometimes asked by letter what would be the effect of a veto here. My answer just now is—" Suffi• cient unto the, day is the evil thereof." The best answer, however, is, in the vote of to-day to the vote of Friday last—repealing the Sub-Treasury Bill and establishing an United State Bank. FROM FLORIDA.—We have, by way of Savannah, good accounts from Florida. Co-a-coo-chee's whole family, men, women, &c., 160 in all, have come in at Tampa ; and 40 more Indians, of another band, were daily expected there. This seems to promise an end to this disastrous war. The correspondent of the Savannah paper says —" When Co-a-coo-chee's family came in, Colonel Worth told him he might go on shore from the schooner where he was confined and see them. lie re fused to go, saying that though he was anxious to see his family, he would not permit them to see him in ir ons. The Colonel finally consent ed to let him g o on shore without his shackles, and after a warm greeting with his family, he dined with the Colonel, and then retu rned on board the schooner. • As soon as his irons were re placed, he told Colonel Worth that he had but one re quest more to make, and that.was to-.allo - ,v him and his people to go West as soon as possible 1" The large scout, consisting of six companies of artil lery, commanded by Captain Burke and a number of sailors and marines, commanded by Captain Rogers and- Lieut. Sloan, all of the navy, about 400 men in all, left Key Biscayenne for the Everglades on the 30th, and an ticipate accomplishing something towards the close of the war. Major Childs, who was to have accompanied the expedition, was left sick at Fort Dallas. The post at Key Biscayenne is to be broken up. LOUISVILLE.—HORRIBLE MURDER.—The Louisville (Mis.) Tablet, of the 24th ult., contains the particulars of a most awful murder by a Mrs. Roper, who, in a fit of in sanity, cut off the heads of three of her own children with an axe. The Tablet gives the following particulars : It was her intention to have killed two more in the same manner,.and afterwards hang herself with a hank of yarn, but her husband waking up, discovered something extra ordinary in her actions and seized her round the waist; after a strong effort on her part to escape from him, du ring which she tried to draw one of three knives from the ceiling, which she had previously sharpened and put there.' They reached the door, when he discovered what she had been doing. " She is the mother of eleven children, including the three which she killed. She appears now to be restored to reason, and is a pitiable spectacle of the deepest and most bitter anguish. She says, that while under the influence of a distorted.imagination, she thought she was doing a charitable action in riddin g her husband of _ the burthen of supporting herself and their five youngest children, as he .is a poor and very hard-working man.— New York Ameiican. (From the Papers of the 14th.) THE BANK BILL. The probable fate of this bill is the all-absorbing topic of conversation in every Circle ; and we are happy to add that not only all the Whigs, but every loco foco of stand ing or consideration in the city, unites in expressing their earnest convictions that Mr. Tyler cannot, will not, nay, in justice to his own character, dare not, veto the bill.—New York Enquirer. (From the American.) A letter just received from Washington, from the same source as that published by us on Wednesday last, written on ThlirMdy night, says— ‘ A ridiculous report prevailed yesterday few a few hours that the President had signed the Bill. Up to this evening I know that the greatest uneasiness was felt among friends about the President's decision." Other letters incline t) the belief most strongly that the Bill will be vetoed, but not until after the visit to be made to day, by the President, Ilea& of Departments, and members of Congress, to the United States ship Delaware. We shall yet have, therefore, some days of suspense ; meantime, we repeat always, that as to the Cabinet, they should stand firm, though the veto do come. COMMERCIAL.—The transactions at the Board on Fri day were moderate, and a rather better feeling prevailed. The sales of United States Bank Shares reached 275, at 15 to 151, an advance of 4 per cent. ; Mohawk im proved 4 ; Stoninton, 4 ; Harlam, ; Long Island, 8. —Sales after the Board : 25 shares U. S. Bank, at 15+; 25 Stonnington, 368, b 10 ; 25 do 36 ; 100 Long Island, 52k ; 1,000 dollars Indiana Sterling Bonds 568 ; 3,000 dollars Illinois Sixes, 1870, 534. The sales of State Stocks were, Canal Fives, 1855, at 85k. an improvement of 8 per Cent. ; Indiana Sterling Bonds HI, also an improvement of 8 per Cent. ; and Illinois Sixes, 1870, 534. Our Money Market retains much the same features as it has for some time past. The uncertainty prevailing in regard to the fate of the Fiscal Bank Bill, is pro- • bably one of the causes of its continued inactivity. There is still an abundance of capital afloat and comparatively but little demand for it. (From the Boston Papers of the 18th. : 1 THE BANK BILL.—(From the Daily Advertiser.) — The New York Journal of Commerce, in its second edi tion, at two o'clock on Saturday, says— , " A private letter to the editors of the Journal of Commerce, dated Washington, eleven o'clock on Thurs day night, says—" I have just heard, direct from the President's house that the Veto Message goes to the Senate at 12 o'clock to-morrow" (Friday). LOSS OF THE ERIE STEAMER. (From, the Buffalo Commercial Advrtiser, Aug. 11.) DESTRUCTION OF THE STEAM BOAT ERIE BY FIRE. AND THE Loss OF 170 LlVES.—Little did we think yesterday in penning a brief paragraph in commenda tion of the Erie, that to-day we should be called on to record the destruction of that boat, together with a loss of life unequalled on our own or almost e any ether" waters. The Erie left the dock at ten minut s past four PM., loaded with merchandize, destined for Chiago, and, as nearly as now can be ascertained, about 200 persons, including passengers and crew, on board. The boat had been thoronghly overhauled, and although the wind was blowing fresh, every thing promised a pleasant and prosperous voyage. Nothing occurred to mar this prospect till about eight, when the boat was off Silver Creek, about eight miles from shore, and when a slight explosion was heard, and immediately, instan taneously almost, the whole vessel was enveloped in flames Captain Titus, who was on the upper deck at the time. rushed to the ladies' cabin to obtain the life preservers, of which there were from 90 toloo on board, but so rapid had been the progress of the flames, that he found it impos sible to enter the cabin. He returned to the upper deck, on his way giving orders to the engineer to stop the en gine, the wind and headway of the boat increasing the fierceness of the flames, and driving them aft. The engineer replied that in consequence of the flames he could not reach the engine. The steersman was in stantly directed to put the helm hard a starboard. The vessel swung slowly round, heading to the shore, and the boats—there were three on board—were ordered to be lowered. Two of the boats were lowered, but in conse quence of the heavy sea on, and . the headway of the vessel, they both swamped as soon as they touched the water. We will not attempt to describe the awful and appalling condition of the passengers. Some were fran tic with fear and horror, others plunged headlong madly into the water ; others seized upon any thing buoyant upon which they could lay hands. The small boat for ward had been lowered. It was alongside the wheel, with three or four persons in it, when the Captain jumped in, and the boat immediately dropped astern, filled with water. A lady floated by with a life-pre -1 server - on. She cried for help. There was no safety in the boat. The Captain threw her the only oar, and was saved. It was Mrs; Lynde, of Milwaukie, and she was the only lady saved. In this condition, the boat—a mass of fierce fire, and the passengers and crew endeavouring to save them selves by swimming, or supporting themselves by what ever they could reach—was found by the Clinton, at about ten P.M. The Clinton left here in the morning, but in consequence of the wind had put into Dunkirk. She laid there till nearly sun-set, at which time sho ran out, and had proceeded as far as Barcelona, when just at twilight, the fire of the Erie was discovered some 20 miles astern. The Clinton immediately put about and reached the burning wreck about ten. It was a fearful night. All the upper works of the Erie had been burnt away. The engine was standing, but the hull was a mass of dull, red flame. The passengers and crew were floating around, screaming in their agony and shrieking for help. The Vats of the Clinton were instantly lowered and manned, and every person that could be seen about was picked up, and every_possible relief -afferded. • The Lady, a little steamboat, lying at Dunkirk, went out of the harbour as soon as possible after the discovery of the fire, and arrived soon after the Clinton. It was not thought by the survivors that she saved any. By one A.M., all was still except the dead crackling of the fire. Not a solitary individual could be seen on the wild waste of waters. A line was then made fast to the remains of the Erie's rudder, and an effort made to tow the hap less hull ashore. About this time the Chautauque came up and lent her assistance. The hull of the Erie was towed within about four miles of the shore, when it sunk in eleven fathoms water. By this time it was daylight. The lines were cast off. The Clinton headed for this port, which she reached about six o'clock. Of those who are saved, several are badly burned, but none are dan gerously injured so far as we have heard. ORIGIN OF THE FlRE.—Among the passengers on board were six painters in the employ of M r . W. G. Miller of this city, who were going to Erie to paint the steam-boat Madison. They had with them demijohns filled with spirits . of turpentine and varnish, which, un known to Captain Titus, were placed on the boiler deck directly over the boilers. One of the firetnen, who was saved says he had occasion to go on deck, a nd seeing the demijohns, removed them. They were re by whom is not known. Immediately previous to the bursting forth of the flames, as several on board have as sured us, a slight explosion was heard. The demijohns h a d probably burst with the heat, and their infia placed, but minable contents, taking fire instantly, communicated to every part of the boat, w hich having been freshly var nished caught as if it had been gunpowder. Not a paper nor an ar ti c le of any kind w as saved. Of course it is impossible to give a complete list of those on board. Of cabin passengers Captain Titus thinks there were between thirty an d forty, o f whom ten or twelve were ladies. In the steerage were about 140 rants. nearly nearly All of whom were Swiss and Germane migra They were mostly in f a milies with the usual proportion of men; women, and children. The heart bleeds at the thought. It is a singulard icio)!ntehi:3ll2ceetshpaottthweheErerithe e was asbuhrninegd at almost e ton was burned in June, 1838. Captain Brown, who mandbed the Washington at that time, happened to be on board the Clinton, and was very active in saving the survivors of the Erie. We have never seen our city in a more profound gloom.. The destruction of the Erie and the appalling horrible loss of life, impress the heart of every one. The Mayor of Buffalo, immediately upon the receipt of t h e intelligence, very properly convened the Common Council, when appropriate measures were taken to re lieve such sufferers as were in need of assistance. LATER.—By the Robert Fulton, Captain Hart, we learn that two more persons were saved by the people of Dtmkirk. One was Frederick Parmlee, bar-keeper of the Erie, and an American, name unknown. The Fulton also picked up two boats, one beloning to the Erie, and the other a sail-boat belonging to Dunkirk, which was swamped on its way to the rescue. Those on board were picked up. (From the Buffalo Commercial of Wednesday.) TILE ERIE.—The Clinton, as soon as she could dis charge her cargo- yesterday morning, returned to the scene of the disaster, to pick up whatever could be found. She found no bodies, nor any thing scarcely to repay the search. The water was covered for miles with cinders - _ sit I fragments of the wreck, more or less chl..tred, nd and that was all. Dr. Harris, the Coroner, who acco panied the Clinton, has furnished us the following : d " Alexander Lamberton , musician, from Erie, at, Frederick Parrnalee, bar-keep er, were p icked up b a y small boat after the Clinton hadleft. Parmalee was the water seven hours, and & bowed great presence el mind in exerting himselfto save f i n d some one :Mr. Gelston, the browther in-law of Col. Reed. He gave Mr, Ge tion— and whe n. the lston a plank, iiich. he had secured for his own preserv. boat had ceased to move, afte r waiting' to -a he took one else to whom he could re nder assistance, . of the fenders of the boat , and b y managi.l to keep F upon it, he succeeded in preserving his own pieces of charred wood, and p ortions of the b(O4 er; found floating, as well as part of the goods that ronlahk'l without being entirely consumed. The boat also P2eko& up the wheat measure, which was the means of C.11%71-11:1.- Mr. Williams, This is about all that has not ah' ea k f come to your knowledge." Notwithstanding the heroic and self-sacrificinm act or. Parmalee, we fear there is no rea son to hope that G el ston was saved. In addition to what is stated respec-tiEg Parmalee's gallant conduct, we learn from the Rep-ob lican of this morning, that Mr. Engar Clemens, too, the engineer abandoned a plank on which he was floating - t o three children, and after some search found a box or bale, which he also resigned to an old man, and aftk being some time in the water at length reachi.4 the boat to which Captain Titus was clinging. We learn that Mrs. Lynde, too, the only lady saved, en oced as much coolness and intrepid it y as an y one on beam. Her presence of mind never forsook her for a The Ric moments - nblican farther says — Mr. Para: glee gives a most terrific descripti on.

He, too, is a gallant fellow, and deserves the highest commendation. SOUTH AMERICA. DREADFUL MUTINY AND SLAUGHTER.—The b, tr. Sardius, from Buenos Ayres, brought dates from th at port to the 19th June. The only intelligence of conse quence, is of a mutiny which broke out on the night o. the 11th' on board the" iliverista- bark of war, Twenty fifth May, one of Commodore Coe's squadron in the harbour of Montevideo. The native portion of the crew commenced an attack upon the officers, who were soon joined by the foreign seamen, amounting to 45 in num ber. A brisk fire of musketry-and pistols was opened and kept up for an hour between the parties, when the officers were further reinforced by the crew of three boats manned from the squadron. Tbey rushed upon the muti neers, and after some resistance overcame them. It is re ported that 30 were killed on both sides, including three officers, and a considerable number wounded—eight of the mutineers were shot the next morning. It is said Monte Video papers of a later date are silent respecting the mutiny. On the next night another Riverista brig of war was observed to be on fire, and before the flames were extin guished she was so burnt as to be rendered useless. Commodore Coe in his corvette and the bark Twenty fifth May sailed from Monte Video on the 16th. The Argentine squadron, under the commatuk-of Ad miral Brown, expected to sail in a few days from Bueie Ayres. It is understood that General Echague has opened thr campagne in Corrientes.

H., Major-General Drummond, C.. 8., Di rector-General of Royal Artillery ; Colonel Cockburn, Lieut.- Colonel Dundas, C. 8., and Major Chalmers arrived at tins marshes to witness experiments with shells invented by Mr. Smart, Mr. Howard, and Mr. Reece. Mr. Smart had 6 shells.. Mr. Howard 5, and Mr. Recce 12. Major Belson had the command of the gunners and drivers who fired the guns, all 32-pounders, and Lieutenant Shaketpear bad the charge to insure that the river was clear of vessels. Owing to high water haring taken place at nearly 11 o'clock, there were so many vessels going down the river with the ebb tide that it was halt past two o'clock before a shot could be fired. No. 1, Mr. Smart's, went through both bulwarks, and graz ing the mound in an oblique direction, ascended over it, and proceeded onwards towards the river without exploding. No. 2, Mr. Howard's, exploded near the mouth of the gun, the fragments proceeding onwards, and one of the large pieces entered into the mound about ten yards to the eastward of the bulwarks. Nn. 3, Mr. Reece's, went through the front bulwark, ex ploded in the centre, scattering the fragments eastward said westward, and driving one of the large pieces through the rear bulwarks. No. 4, Mr. Smart's, exploded at the mouth of the gun. No. 5, Mr. Howard's, exploded in the same manner. No. 6, Mr. Reece's, exploded about 100 yards from the mouth of the gun. No. 7, r. Smart's, exploded at the mouth of the gun. N o . 8, Mr. Howard's, exploded in a similar manner. No. 9, Mr. Reece's, went through the front bulwark, ex ploded in the centre, and scattered the fragments in all direc tions, several large pieces remaining in the wood, into whick they had sunk several Indus. No. 10, Mr. Smart's, exploded at the month of the gun. N o . 11, Mr. Howard's, went through both blwarks, and exploded on entering the mound behind them. No. 12, Mr. Reece's went through the front bulwark, and exploded in the c.,,p,utre with good effect. No. 13, Mr. Sme.rt's, explcded at the mouth of the gun. No. 14, Mr. Howard's, exploded in a similar manner. No. 15, Mr. Reece's, exploded in the centre after pasain through the front bulwark, a large piece being forced through the rear bulwark. No. 16, Mr. Smart's, exploded at the mouth of the gun. Nos. 17 and 18, Mr. Reece's, exploded in a similar manner. Of the shells fired to-day, six by Mr. Smart all exploded at or near the mouth of the gun, evidently at the moment of their projection. Of the five fired by Mr. Howard, foar ex ploded at the mouth of the gun, and only one went through the bulwarks and into the mound before it burst, showing it was too secure. Of the seven fired by Mr. Reece, four were excellent, bursting in the centre betwixt the bulwarks with decided effect, and the other three evidently were too easily ex ploded at or near the mouth of the gun. It is probable, where any succeed, the inventors having them numbered, may easily rectify those experimented with in future, by adhering to the proportions of the igniting materials used in those that have been success'ul. At precisely four o'clock the officers and men marched to the barracks. The facilities afforded by the Board of Ordnance for the c . v. periments deserve the warmest approbation of the public, as great patience and care is requisite in handling and firing Rro jectiles of such a destructive nature, and as yet happily with out any accident. To-day twenty of the gentlemen cadets belonging to the first.: or practical class studying at the Royal Arsenal were present, and remained during the whole time of the experiments.

DEAD CONFORMITY.—The objection to con forming to usages that have become dead to you is, that it scatters your force ; it loses your time, and 'blurs the impres sion of your character. If you maintain a dead church, con tribute to a dead bible society, vote with a great party either for the government or against it, spread your table like base housekeepers—under all these screens, I have difficulty to detect the precise man you are ; and, of course, so much force is withdrawn from your proper life. But do your thing, and I shall know you. Do your work, arid you shall reinforce your self. A man must consider what a blind-man's-buff lis thi this game of conformity. If I know your sect, I anticipat e your arg ument. I hear a preache r announce for his text an d topic th expediency of one of the institutions of his church. Do I not know beforehand that not possibly can he say a new and spontaneous word? Do I not know that with all this osten tation of examining the grounds of the institution, he will do no such thing? Do I not know that he is pledged to himself not to look but at one side • the permitted side, not as a man, but as a parish 'minister He is , a retained attorney, and these airs of the bench are the em p tiest affectation. Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handker chief, and attached themselves to some one of these communi ties of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particult.r , Their every truth is not quite true.—Emerson's Essays o Self-Reliance
