.Nib-7vrccAs at the Rapids ofChi2.
A spectacle so distressing to the qe-
nervous heart, was never presented in
the western country as that of this dav,
in front of LOuisville.-On Saturday
four large ships, all new, and Lound for
New-Orleans, lay in line in the bason
above the rapids, waiting the rise of wa
ter, which was then on the swell, and
promised safe passage over the OBJ
atructions, so that all calculated on pas

wcr. present, felt the consequence too
sensibly to remain idle moment if a
possibility existed Of passing-sound-
ings were made and hope revived. Col.

bore down for the head grand shoot, and
passed handsomely By, rubbing the
rocks two or three times, and anchored
below. BY this time the wind had m

the rocks until they filed with water,
| which was in short time after they
struck. The apparent perilous situation
of the crews and gentlemenon board was
dreadful; in ships without rudders or
keels, tumbling from rock to rock and
rolling from side to side, in a current
which rates twelve or fourteen miles an
hour, without possibility of being re-
licved from the shore. Fortunately
for the lives on board, the ships filed
on the rocks without going to pieces.
The Rufus King endeavoured by
casting her anchors after the Tuscarora
struck, to avoid the like blow, but the
strength of the current was too power
full, she struck near the same place, and,
drawing few inches less water bound
ed past the bow, AID carrying away the
head of the Tuscarora and part of her
railing, lodged about her length below.

with the pilot and was on board the Ru-

The heavy rains last week did consi-
derable damage in the neighbourhood OF
the Ohio. Mr.. John Clarke's saw-mill,

ned and sunk eight feet, and Col. Zanc's

mill-house was discovered floating down

and 200 bushels of wet wheat taken out.
The fences have been swept away from
