when it shifted to the N. Captain TOmIinson (withOut knowing exactly the place where he was) having found good holding ground. about four o'clock tn the afternoon, let m three anchors which took fast, and with man. agement, he soon brought them to an equal bearing but would not have been able to hold her, had she not constantly been aided by the engine. The wind continued to blow almost hurricane until daylight, when the captain discovered that he was of Crane Neck-but with daylight there was nO abatement of the violence of the gale, and if the Connecticut had not been remarkably strong built vessel, she must certainly have fOuhdeTed or gone to pieces. Every fourth or fifth sea heaved over her head hOgheads of water, great portion of which, owing to the intense cold, became mass of ice on the fore part of the vessel The passengers; (abOut 60 in number) felt all the dreadful sensations such situation Is like ly to inspires and but for the Rrmness evinced by the captain, many would have completely Responded. Ofthe few who ventered to re- main any time on deck, several were washed off their legs, and one tremendous sea carried away the star-bOard quarter boat. Until sun down on Saturday the wind did not in the least abate, and such was the depth to which the anchors had been driven. that it took the whole crew more than six hours to raise them. Sufficient praise cannot be given to the cap- tain, pilot, and the whole of the crew, for their indrfatigable exertions during the whole time: the engineers never left their post, steam being kept up all the while and the pi- lot had one of his hands badly frost bitten. Opposite the residence of MT. James D'Wolf, ir. the boat encountered body of ice, which they were two hours in passing.
 The Connecticut arrived at New-York a. bout six o'clock, on Sunday evening, with on. ly ten sticks of wood left....N '. Ado.
 Murder.-Ann Carr, a white woman. and Ann Johnson, a cOlOred wOman--pO0r, mis- erable, drunken, fraiI mOrtals, have lived in the same room tn Augusta-st. New York, for sometime past-attentiOns which used to be paid to the colored woman by man of the name of Hart, had lately been transferred to Ann Car-JOhnson was highly offended, beat her when drunk, and threatened her life several times had sometimes dragged her out at the door by the hair of her head. On "Wednesday morning Carr was found dead tn the room, and although Johnson sa,d she had been out the night previous, and was SO bad ly beaten by others as to occasion her death, yet 1t satisfactorily appeared to the jury of in.
 
 son, with a" Hickory club" It Is supposed that the colored woman had possessed her self of one of those favorite clubs used by the Trishmen at the late elections in the city. W. Aovsn Register.
 TNe Ne.c Republics.-Tt is a remarkable fact, that within the last two years, every one ofthc Spanish American Republics. with the l exception of Chill, has been the scene either of Revolution, InsurreCtion or Civil War; In Mex icO and Buenos Ayres, complete rev. olution has been effected by force Nf arms.-- In ColOmSia, to say nothing of the immense political excitement, formidable conspiracy has been developed, which had for It's object the same result, by taking the life of Bnlivar. Guatemala has been distracted by a civil law. Peru, after being itself revolutionized by the aid of Columbian troops, has extended the same favor to the Republic of Bolivia, by sending an army and deposing its President.
 Massachusetts Legislators.-A corrcspon. dent of the New York Journal of Commerce writes from Boston us follows :--"'rhe Bay State Representatives are hardy men. with healthy cOuntenancts, and very much dispO. sed to hear with both ears. and what may be said on both sides of a question:, before they judge. They sit with their hsts on. and the proportion of old bats to the new, ,throughOut the assembly, is us 4S to l." This is all right. Men who wear their old hats instead of pur. chasing new ones. will he opposed to extrav. agant public expenses. Gdzetse.
 Haruard Umiversity.-The Boston Courier says-"Mr Quincy, the new President of Harvard College, left town day or two since on visit of observation and inquiry, as we understand. to some of the principal Colleges tn the United States. His object Is doubtless to examine the internal police and discipline of these institutions, that he may Do able to enter upon the administration of the affairs Of Harvard. with all the advantages such an in. vestigation can give him. The University of Charlottesville, Virginia, is said to be the first object of his inquiry"
 Religion.-by Mackeasie.--" He who would undermine those foundations upon which the fabric of our future hope is rear- ed, seeks to beat down that column which supports the feeblencss of humani,y;-let him but think moment, and his heart will arrest the cruelty of his purpose. Would he pluck its little treasure from the bosom of poverty ?-Would he wrest it's crutch from the hand of age, and remove from the eye of affliction the only solace of it's woe!
