Tae HAftraa's FEIST Immaawrios.—The ex-
citement In arising out of the Ferry pmnunci•-
memo seems only abated for the instant, to revive with aug-
mantel energy. Yesterday the moat alarming recounts
were forwarded from Charlestown to Richmond. to
the effect that • movement for the liberation of
Brown was hourly anticipated, and that rations
barns and sheds had been fired by confederates of the Mew-
' iterated martyr. This exciting word proditeed the effect
that via to be anticipated. Lane bodies of troops were
at mai placed under arms at Richmond and at Alex-
=Aria, with orders to move this morning upon the scene
of oc,ntemplaied hostilities. The panic throughout the
State has suddenly attained the wildcat stage. In-
discriminate meats are made ; the eye of partial jus-
tice Wog itself more especially upon the peddlers, who are
to be found in every village and upon every road. Various
of these are imprisoned ; and the pursuit of them appals to
be universal. The Tennessee episode is in the meantime
proceeding; Dr. Palmer having obtained his liberty on bail.
Dr. Rowe, of Boston, to insure his liberty sad immunity
front a requisition, has taken eight from Baton, end may
hereafter be addressed inCanada.—Nero York Trams, Nov. 18.

STEAMERS FOR THE GALWAY LlNE.—Tirday
(Thanday) the Prince Albert, iron screw steamer which has
been for wine time past undergoing extensive raisins at the
works of Mr. John Lard, Birkenbead, leaves the Mersey on
a short trial trip. The Prince Albert was originally known
ass fest weed; and wan pat into the bonds of Mr. Laird for
the purpose of being considerably lengthened. The afterput
of the vessel has been covered in, making an extensive saloon
and poop deck, similsr to that of the Cansdisa steamers. Teo
effect this. the frames and plating of the chip have bees raised
and canted round in an arch, ao ea to form the roof of the
deck hr We, an arrangement which will add very materially
to the stability of the venal, while at the came time it win
madam to the comfort and accommodation of paseeogers.

Tlitcnne-Cr'eti awakes of the Prince Albert will' be a iron
acquisition to the QaM►q Nee, until the new paddle boats in
course cf construction for rho statlonare reedy. _ _

AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MAILII.—The Quebec
and Montreal Ooesa Steamship Compeey'is steamer Nova
Scotian willed from the Kersey for Portland letiridaY
(Wedeeedsy), with the Uaind States and Canadian mails
and 67 pearoegers. On Saturday next the British and North
American Royal Mail steamer America will be despcched
from Liverpool for Boron with the United States and North
American toads.

SMUGGLING BY THE GALWAY LINE.—A large
eediure of snuff was made on board the steamer Jason on
Tuesdey, which arrived from New York on Friday lest.
There were 10 casks altogether, and a great deal of ingenuity
was exercised in the packing, so as to make the coke
km the appearance of containing flour. On the tide-
wafter in charge, Denis M'Bngh, examining one of the
casks, he discovered the snuff, end on clear inspection
it was found that a king pipe was passed through the
centre of the banal at the head, the head of which
opened inunediately below the bung-hole. This pipe wee
filled with flour, so that ou taking out the bung nothing but
flour wee visible. The ten cask., which were entered as
flour, and ooneigned to a person named Faby living at
Loughran In this county, were imm-diately betted and con-
veyed to the Custom-bona, The gross weight of the snuff
sailed is ens ton. On the last voyage of the lawn 12 cwt.
of tobacco was sailed, and one of the parties implicated in
the transude' is at present undergoing six months' im-
prisonment, the other having paid the fine of 1001. The
persons who are connected with the present case will be tried
in °Away, but the exact time is not yet known.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT.—Oa Monday evening, at 5
o'clock, a sad and terrible affair happened on the Wycombe
and Theme Railway, now in coarse of formation. At •
spot called Bell-field, at High Wycombe, a abaft of nearly
AO feet wee sunk to form a cutting through a chalk hill.
Five unfortunate men were engaged pickier at the bo`tom,
when about 40 tons of earth fell and completely bur6d
them. It was full three hours before their bodies could be
rescued, and when found they were of course quite dead. One
poor fellow was standing erect with his shovel in his hand,
so momentary was the shock. The right of the men at
work In perfect silence, with torches, and surrounded by
thousand. of spectator., is completely beyond description.
ROBERT STEPLIENSON AND THE GREAT EASTKRIV.
—When Mr. Brunel was oocnpted with his test frail]. sa effort'
to launch the Great Beetarn, at the close of ono most dis-
heartening day's work, he wrote Mr. Stephenson, urging
him to come down to Blackwell on the following morning,
end enter with him as to further measures. Next morning
Mr. B.ephenaon woe in the yard at Blackwell shortly after
HI o'clock. and he remained there until dusk. While super-
intending the operations about mid-day, ha came to the end
of • balk of timber which canted up, and he fell up to his
middle in the Thames mud. He wee merely is his ordinary
dress, without any great twat (though the weather wee
bitter cold) and with only thin boots upon his feet. He
was urged to leave the yard sad change his dram, bet, with
his usual disregard of health, hie reply was, " Ob, never
mind me; I'm gaits and to this sort of thiag;" and be went
peddling 'bent la the mad, smoking hie cigar until al o met quite
dark, when the work of Ike dey tree completed. The Moo'
quence of this exposure was an intlemmation of the lungs,
which kept him to his bed for a fortnight—Freese, Maga"
rine, for December.
