4 AM sorry that should be obliged, 80
4 soon after my residence in this town,
thus to make an appea! to the public but
my reputation having been aspersed by
person with whom have been but slightly
acquainted, in vindication of which shall
give plain statement Of facts. A few
days ago happened to be in the Bank of
Alexandra, v hen Mr.. J. T. Ricketts, came
in, and, after the usual salutations, he be-
gan questioning me about a connection
which he said he heard had existed between
Mr.. Charles Tyler and my partner, Mr. A.
Henderson, to which ] paid no attention.
Dir. K. then said that Nj. n. did not bear
the best character in town--to which OBJ
servation | made no reply, that recolleCt.
Shortly after had business at the Franklin
Bank, where found Mr.. R. seated at the
fire, and thinking it good opportunity OF
speaking 10 him on the subject above mem
toned, | observed would thank him if
he would tell me who had said that Mr.. h.
was concerned in business with Mr. Tyler;
Mr.. RS reply was, that he had heard Sc
yeral people say so. asked him il ne
would name any one or more of them he
said he did not recollect their names but
he had heard that C.. Tyler drew bill on
A. Henderson for $40, in favor OF Il. ).

derson and refused, and afterwards paid

as his own until he gave up the author; he
said he did not care. then told him !

Mir. Henderson in my presence in such
terms as he had spoken of him al the Bank
of Alexandria, that il was disagreeable to
Eie but if he chose to speak Of him else
where in such terms il was a matter OF no.
consequence he said he did not say any
thing improper-but that lie did not care
for Mr. Henderson. myself, or any body
else. then repeated what | had said
before, and told him considered what he
had said SANDER on the firm he then got
angry, and said he did not care " damn"
for MIR. Henderson, myself or any body
else. | told him | did not wish IL be spo-
ken to in that way; he then called me a
damned impertinem puppy-which so irri-
tated NE that replied he was a mean old
scoundrel. He then ordered me out of the
baRk told blm had claim on the bank,
AID would not 90 until it was settled. He
then began 10 abuse me again and | re-
peated what had before said to him when
he took the liberty Of" giving me a blow
on the head with his stick, which did no.
quite break it, as stated by him, though il
was severe one after which we closed,
and succeeded in taking the stick from
him. He then took up poker, but was
prevented from using It by an officer Of tht
bank, when Mr.. Ricketts, resumed his seat,

hare amounted TO certain destruction. In
this dilemma concluded to lay under the
sail she was, say reefed u1izen-staysail -
small as il was il would never have stood
the force of the wind, but bellying "a
gainst the lee main rigging, was supported
by it. AT l p. m. lat that period had
been below about 90 minstes) an unfortu-
nate sea struck the ship on the starboardor
weather bow, and from the havoc it made
in its course, took direction 10 the for
ward part of the larboard main rigging !;
and it may appear singular, alter The toll
lowing account, that notwithstanding the
crash it must have made, officers nor crew
that were on the quarter deck heard it,,
nor scarcely did bucket Of water come
abaft the taferail, which was not noticed.
as it was nothing unusual suppose it
must have been full FIVE or ten minutes after
the destruction occurred before il was dis
covered-from this you can best draw
conclusion of the time. However, nothing
could be done but constant attention to
the pumps, and found by the mercies of
the Almighty, that the ship continued and
continues tight. At a. m. before dawn,
another sea struck the stern boat, as the
ship was sending, and carried it from the
stern. AT day light such sight presented
itself to my view, 10 my feelings at the
moment truly horrible-I shall describe
them as ] notice them in train the long
boat lying athwart ship, torn from her
gripes, stove, her bow on the lee waist
rail, her stern on the main hatchway from
the main rigging close forward, clear
sweep of bulwarks, and nine stauncheons
broke short off 10 the covering plank-wa-
ter casks, planks, sPars, &c. washed fore

bows, and hause lead positively started:
Such was the amazing powerofthe stroke.
Nothing remained but TO secure the fore
mast and bowsprt, and ON the 29th, at 4
p. m. having the deck all clear again, bore
up under fore-course, and on the 18th Of
October, arrived in the Weser."

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

.Fsrusalem.-A traveller, recently return"
ed from Syria, rehtes that the city OF Jeru-
salem is now in the mos; deplorable state.
lis population scarcely amounts to lI,ooe
inhabitants, who mostly profess the Mo-
horedan religion. The Turkish soldiers
Of the garrison are in possession OF the keys
of the holy sepu.chre, and allow no one to
enter, who does not pay before hand for his
admission. Every stranger is obliged TO
pay Is francs for every visit which he pays
TO the sacred tomb. The sight OF jerusalem
in our days recalls to mind the most terrible
prophecies of Jeremiah. 1t is even desert

of faith, or dread Of the persecution OF the
Mussulmen.

According TO the latest accounts from Je-

fariously prosecuted by the schisma'ic
Greeks. Several of them are said TO have
been severely wounded, and their Procura-

effort on the part Of the Catholics TO ap-
