Whether this can be best done BY procession to

The Vest India Hurricanes-An infinite deal of

The Vest India Hurricanes-An infinite deal of mischief seems 10 have been done in various parts of the West Indies, which give further counts to-day There appears to have been two hurri at interval of about six weeks The 1st is that mentioned in Jamaica accounts as having occur red in the Islands of Trinidad and Grenada on the 23d of June. which swept from thence the coast of South America, until it reached Honduras, where
 its violence principally felt the 27th and 2Sth. The other is that in which Barbadoes suffered so yerely; it commenced there on the night of the 10th of August, the wind at N. E. On the. 11th it was felt at Martinique; it appears then to have swept a. cross the Caribbean Sea- until it reached the Island of Cuba, where it commenced on the 18th, and con-
 nued its destruction until the l6th. Its course then through the Gulf of Mexico. until at New-Or- leans the 16th and 17th it committed the ravaees which we gave an account of in paper of the 1st instant On the North side of Jamaica the ag- tation of the the 18th and 18th of August is represented as having done an infinite deal of dam age but was unaccompanied with wind; the commo- tioD having been occasoned no doubt hy the com mencement of the gale to wndward on the 10th.
 It will recur to the recollection of the reader that the very remarkable atmospheric phenomena, and the strange appearance of the sum- noticed along the whole coast of the United States was about the time of these gales; 18th and l4th of August here, and somewhat later at New-York and Boston, The clue is thus furnished to the mystery. .-SarannaA Georgian.

 Dr Mitchell We alluded briefly yesterday to the death of this distinguished scientific man, which was announced to us but short time previous to the publication of the paper. He died in his sxtyeighth year, after an illness which afforded little room to hope for his ultimate recovery; but still his depar- ture was sudden and unexpected. He was a man who, with wonderful faculty of retention, and unr- ing industry, had accumulated more knowledge as to facts books, and natural history, than most men, however celebrated, of this or any other age There were few subjects on which he could not furnish such information would lead the inquirer alright in his own researches. He enlarged the boundaries of discovery in natural science and stimulated and assisted all who were pursuing the same objects.- He was for great number of years professor of va rlous branches Tn the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and was Dean of the Faculty, His la bors are dispersed in many volumes. Many cab
 nets are enriched by his collections. And there are few philosophical societies of note in the world, of which he was not member. He was elected to
 the assembly of this State soon after the revolution
 and was afterwards member of Congress, and the colleague of De Witt Clinton. His acquaintance with history, and with civil and international law
 was extensive and accurate. There was an amia- be simplicity in his character, connected with a consciousness of his own acquisitions, which was confounded with vulgar vanity only by the vulgar mind. He did much to promote the cause of science; and science must regret his loss. The funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon, from his late residence; and his obsequies will no doubt be attended by the different learned bodies and literary and scientific societies of the city

Irccndiary Publications. excitement produce ed few months since, in the Southern country, by the discovery of several copies of the notorious "Walker Pamphlet" is doubtless still fresh in the recollection of most of our readers. Notwithstand- ing the pointed rebukes which the publishers of that infiammatory production received from many of the well disposed and refecting part of our Northern brethren, it appears that some misguided and delud- ed fanatics are still bent on exciting colorcd population to scenes at which the heart sickens on the bare recital, and which, instead of improving their moral or physical condition, cannot fail to over whem tho actors in ruin, and curta the privileges of all the others. Let them view the first fruits of their diabolica projects in the Southampton ere, and pause-an awful retribution awaits them.- A letter from gentleman in Washington City, dat ed 29h ut. to the Postmaster at this place, says:
 "An incendary paper, "The Liberator," is circu- lated openly among the free blacks of this city; and ifyou will search, it is very probable you will find it among the slaves of your country. It is published in Boston or Philadelphia by white man, with the avowed purpose of melting rebellion in the South; and am informed is carried through your country by secret agents, who are to come amongst you un- der tho pretext of pedling &c. Keep sharp look out for these villains, and if you catch them, by all that is sacred you ought to barbecue them Diffuse this information amongst whom it may concern."- Tarb0rough Free Press

 Signor Paganini had few minutes before left the Hall, presume, for the purpose of procuring his violin, and just returned when the applause upon the health of the Lord Chancellor was at it's height might, without any inordinate stretch of vanity, have looked upon as occasoned by his own appear ance. He instantly ascended chair and commenc- ed solo, at the very point of time when the Lord Chancellor seemed to be just about to rise for the purpose of returning thanks for the drinking of his health. Some voices cried "On, Lord Brougham, Lord Brougham-no fiddler" The musician howe yer, proceeded and the noble and learned Lord re- maned silent for the whole evening.

 British 'sloop of War arrived at Port au Prince, previous to the sailing of the Cicero the officers of which reported that after the late hurricane she had put into St Jago de Cuba in distress and had found the town nearly demolished; many lives were lost, and all the shipping and the harbor had been destroyed Two American vessels had been driven ashore near the entrance of the harbor and it was supposed that all on board had perished, no bodies having been found on or near the wrecks. The coffee crops in the neighborhood of St Jago suffered severely, and much injury reported to have been done in the vicinity of the town
 No damage was done 10 the town of Port au Prince, though it was said that the coffee crops throughout the island of St Domingo had sustained considerable injury
