ResernblaRos.-An instance has lately oc-
Cured Of two persons resembling each other
SO closely as TO produce very unpleasant con-
seqnences.-A man was lately tried for theft
at Baltimore, and indicted BY the name OF
Henry Chase alias John Butler, against whom
the evidence was 50 direct that at first no
doubt was entertained Of bis guilt. II turned
out, however, ia the course Of the invesliga-
ton, that the prisoner, who had never borne
any other name than John Butler, had been
mistaken for a person named Henry Chase,
the actual thief, whose resemblance 10 the
prisoner was so great that it was difficult 10
distinguish them apart.-They had both a scar
Of the same kind, and on tie same part Of the

TORNADO. Yesterday afternoon. about 4
o'clock, during a heavy fall or rain, accompa-
MED with, thunder and lightning, a sudden
squall or tornado was experienced from w. n.
w. which continued for about fifteen minutes
with considerable violence. The extent Of
ground passed over does not appear to have
been extensive, as in many parts Of the CITY il
was not felt Ia others some fences were
blown down, slate torn from the roofs or seve-
raj stores, and trees Frustrated. Its effects
we're principally felt in the neighbourhood Or
WillIamsons, Taylor's and Jones' upper
wharves, where several vessels we're lying
with their sails loose, which BY the violence
ofthe wind, earned away their fasts, and other
vessels, and we're driven into the stream. The
tide fortunately ran up, whilst the wind was
down the river, or more damage might have
been done. Az one time the Revenue Cutter
was in imminent danger from The ship Cliff

brought too In time 70 prevent injury to tie
former.
