TORNADO. AT A1ExANpRIA. Lou.

We perceive, by an article in the Louisi-
ana Herald, that most awfully destructive
tornado was experienced in the above place
on Sunday the 9Th Jan. lasting about seven
minutes. aud committing the most dreadful
ravages on the buildings OF the town, more
than twenty being ievelled to their founda-
ton, among which was the court house. Mr..
George Anderson is reported to have lost all
bis buildings but one, and himselfa as having
received some personal injuries. Messrs.
Bacon. Scott, Yeiser, &c. have suffered con-
siderably in loss Of property but in this
Tremendous shock it is soothing TO observe
that no human life was sacrificed. The loss
is estimated at Zoo 900 dollars.

HARD TIMES,

In proof that the cry Of hard time, that is
heard in our street corners so loud and fire.
quent, is well founded, the fact may be men
toned, that at an auction the day before
yesterday, a number of Cashmere shawls
were sold at 800 dollars and upwards, a
piece. No wonder that they are ali the rage
of the day. Probably no reigning fashion
for long time has such powerful recon-
mendation to the higher order of society,"
There is little danger to be apprehended of
their becoming common. The price of 100
dollars for the merino was found TO be no
protection against contamination, [E. Post.

MAINE AND MIssouRI.

Whom the Senate joined, the House OF
Representatives have put asnndcr. 1t was
decided Yesterday. in that body, by decl-
siye vote, that the provisions for the admls-
siou of Maine into the Union, and those pre-
paratory TO the admission of Missouri, should
not be incorporated in one bill. What course
the business will now take, no one can tore
Eel. Our opinion has always been, that
Missouri would, when admitted, be admit
fed without the restriction proposed. we
think so still. IT, however, the vote IN the
House of Representatives were to be consi-
dered Indicative oil the sentiment prevailing
IN that body on the proposed restriction, we
, .hould be certain no bill ontae subject would
PASS at present. Without considering the
vote in this light, we yet think it very doubt
full whether any bill respecting Missouri,
will pass at the present session. Vat. M

The question OF an appropriation for the
