PHILADELPHIA, Aug. lo.-One of the
prettiest touches of feeling Of which we
have ever heard, was witnessed in the
conduct of certain Indians from the in
terror who some years ago visited our
city. When the statute in the Hospital
yard was pointed out to them as the
figure of MIauoN or WILLIAM Penn,
they all, with one consent, fell down on
their knees before it--thus testifylng in
the strongest manner in their power
their reverence for the character OF one
of the few white men who have treated
their race with humanity. 1t was not
an exhibition got up for efieet--it was
the result of burst of feeline-of a
deeply implanted feeling which neither
time nor distance had been able to era
dicaie. 1t had descended from father to
son, had been cherished in the western
wilds, and evinced itself in the midst of
civilized society, b, the strongest OF
natural signs of reverence.

Launch Of The great Ship in Canada
The immense vessel which has been for
some time building at Quebec, and
which has been named the Columbus"
was launched on the Gath ultimo, amidst
the establishment and CALCULATIONS OF
thousands of spectators, WHO, at an
early hour, had assembled to witness
this interesting event. Never, say the
Montreal papers, was there such scene
witnessed in Canada, and never did the
population of Quebec exhibit so intc-
resting a spectacle. There was not
steam boat or equatic conveyance in
port, fit to be hired, that was not put
in requisition; and the most of these
being furnished with bands of music,
and decorated with i.ags and streamers,
approached the site of the launch IN a
manner truly unique, and highly arpro-
pria.e to the business of the morning.
The moment at which this leyiathan was
knocked off the blocks, and plunged
into her destined element, was really
interesting and grand; and words are
only wanting TO convey the thrilling
emotions which lfeayed in every breast,
when the happy circumstance oi the
safety of the vessel herself, and all a.
round, was pronounced by one unan-
imous and rebounding cheer from all
present. Afterthe launch, this extraor-
binary vessel was flowed by three steam
boats to the channel opposite the Falls
of Montmorency and the spectators
returned home IN numerous, in perfect
good humor, and highly grati6ed with
the magnificent scene which they had

POLICE COURT. The Hon. Mr.. Quincy,
Mayor of the city, was brought to trial upon the
complaint of Ashael Drake, carter, for galloppng
his horse so as to endanger "pcrsons standing or
walking in the streets, lanes, and alleys" 1t ap-
peared in evidence, that the Mayor on this day
week, sallopcd his horse through sea-street, at
7 O'Clock in the morning; and two witnesses tes-
titled that the galop was manifcstly dangerous
to persons who might be passing through the
streets at that time. The Mayor, though he
pleaded not guilty because he considered his
rdnl not to be dangerous to the ctizens) yet
expressed his desire to be fined by the Court, in
order to show that no individual could be placed
above the law that those appointed to execute
it were equally as anenable to its penalties as ev-
cry other person;-and that every one, whatsocv-
cr might be his situation, must expect to incur a
fine upon being proved guilty of driving at an i'm
moderate rate through the city.
Justice Orne summed up the case, and after
dilating upon the circumstanc cs, fined the May
or the sum of 50 and costs, amounting to Sc "a.
We ought to add, that ut the time mentioned
the Mayor was engaged on public business, was
Fastening to meet committee, and there were
very few persons in the street.

The same arrival brings intelligence that
the Spanish armed brig Marinero, with a
crew of 80 men from Cadiz for Havana, fell
in with the Colombian armed schr. Gen. Pa
dilla, OH the 1st off Salt Key Bank, and both
vessels engaged for half an hour, when the
Padlla hauled off and Immediately after the
Spanish brig blew up, the Padilla's boats
succeeded in saving 81 of the Spanish brig's
crew, which She sent into Matanzas Oh the
I'd inst. in Droger.
We are informed that the Marinero, was
an elegant new vessel, recently built i'll this
city By Mr.. Bcacham. The vessel was i'll
surcd in this city to the amount of S25,0g0
she was from Cadiz bound to Havana,
with a valuable cargo which was also insured
here.--Iatriot.

Terrific Erhlosion.-On the 10Th Of June,
an alarming and disastrous event took place
on board the schooner Caroline, of Arbroath,
in Scotland, Peter, master, bonnd to Bridge
port from Riga, laden with hemp. About
o'clock i'll the morning tremendous clap OF
thunder came on, accompanied with hail OF a
prodigious size. In the course OF few min
utes, e. ball of fire was seen by the whole
ships crew. who were on deck, to fix itself
on the top of one of the metallic pumps,
where it remained for upwards of a minute
an explosion then took place as if to rcnd the
ship. The master, standing at distance OF
about ten feet, was struck on the side, and
thrown at least fifteen feet by the force of
the explosion, and was much hurt; two of
his crew were also considerably bruised. \
second explosion followed about half mast
high, which produced most tiightful scene;
the gah,, gatf:topsail, and the .,rcatcr part of
the upper rigging were all on fire, and burn
ing with such fury, that III few minutes the
mast head bolts were completely melted.
! The disabled crew used every cNcrtion to
get supply OF water, as near the !irc as they
could, and fortunately succeeded in subduihg
the flames. Considering the combustibe ma
ture of the cargo, had the mainsail and low
cr rigging caught fire, the ship must have
been destroyed, the cargo lost, and the crew
have persisted. The weather being favora-
bic, the vessel is safely arrived at Bridgeport
larbor, and the captain and crew in a fair
way of recovery. Mr.. Peter, who is an ex-
pcricnccd and intelligent man, attributes the
attraction Of the lightning to the metallic
pumps of this there can be no doubt as
three heads of hemp were found burned i'll
the hold near the pumps. The damage sus,
tanned by the ship is estimated at ESQ, and
she will be detained here ut least fortnight
: before she will be again fit for sea. The ac,
cideht happened as they were passing rount
the Scaw Oh tho coast of Jutland.

A MODERN MIRACLE.

A singular display of the goodness and Pow
ers Of Almighty God, at Camp Meeting
held on Tengier Island, august 18th 1924.
Miss NARcIssA CHIpPfN, a highly res
pcctablc young lady, nineteen years OF age,
and a Jealous christian, was, on the evening
of the 18th instant, say about eight O'Clock,
50 operated on by the spirit of God, that her
face became too bright and shining for NOR
tai eyes to gaze upon, without producing the
most awful feelings to the bcholders. 1t re-
scmblcd the reflections of the sun upon q
bright cloud.-rhc appearance of her face
for the space Of forty minutes was truly an
gelic during that time She was silent, after
which she spoke and expressed her happy
and heavenly feelings, when her dazzling
countcnancc gradually faded and her face
resumed it's natural appcarancc.-Ih he wri-
ter of this paragraph was an eye witness, OF
the circumstance above statcd-such u sight
he never expected to behold with morta
eyes, and to give IA true description OF which
would be beyond the ability of mortal man
While she remained in the situation above
described, she was seen by more than tive
hundred persons, few of whom have SUBJ
scribed their names hereto.
