REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE. Two or three
weeks since, on a Saturday evening three iovial
young men Of this city, who were of rather IN.
temperate habits, met at their accust omed haunt
tavern in Broadway. In the course of their
conversation, says ono of them to another, call
ing hun familiarity by his given name -"if
die OF the cholera, won't you see me decenlly
laid out and burit - The one addressed an.
swered in the affirmative, and in his turn made
a slInar request of the third, which was acced-
ed to-whlle the third asked the salno favor for
himself should he die before them This was
all done jocnlarly and in apparent high spirits
That same right the first one was taken with
cholera, and on Sunday he needed the Offices
performed to his dead body which he had en-
gaged. The second was taken sick soon after
he had hurled his friend, and on Monday tho
third one was called to fulfil his promise--and
before Wednesday the third one himself was in
his grave. These are facts well authenticated
and names would be given were it not for
woundng the feelings of friends One of the
persons, at least, had been IN station of use
fulness and trust previous to his irregular habits.
On Friday week lahoring man in this CITY,
who had long been in the habit Of drinking
freely of ardent spirits, was cautioned as TO the
danger of such a practice, especially al this Pc
culiar time. He replied in substa nce that he
always had drank with impunity-nnd finally
declared with an oath that he would drink until
he died That very night he was seized with
the Cholera and the next morning he was a
corpse. God IS not mOcked; ,rhatsoepsr o.

The force of "Gen. Black Hawk" was re-
Ported to amount to about three hundred.
and Parquett is of the opinion thai it is near
ly all of Black Hawks amy. The force
under Gen. Dodge beng about nine hun
dred men, with hut SIX days provisions.
He has sen, to Gen. Atkinson to request
that all the mounted men undcr his COM
mand might join him, which will probably
put an end TO the war in short time.

SUPPOSED Piracy. Several weeks ago,
a Frenchman applied TO some Americans
VITO reside on or among the islands near the
mouths of the haynus which enter the Gulf
from the parish of Terrehone. These Amer
leans generally live by fishing and hunting,
but from their lawless character and intern
pernte habits, it is believed they would not
he slow in engaging in any scheme 10 pro-
cure sudden wealth. The Frenchman rep
resented that he had large amount of dol
lars hid at place called Last Island. near
the mouth of the bayou Grand Gallon he
promised to pay the fishermen handsomely,
if they would take boat and help him to
bring off the money. The offer was accept
ed tie island WIS visited, fifteen thousand
dollars dug up and put in the boat. The
maxim of honor among thieves" was I'M
known to the fishermen, for the money was
no sooner in their possession, than they he
gan threatening violence, and finally COM
PEELED the Frcnchman to relinqulsh one half.
This was done, the latter lost no time in
proceeding up the bayous and down the
Mississippi 10 New Orleans.
The possession of SO much silver by men
unaceustomed to be overhurdened with
money, was q circumstance not long TO he
neutrality-suspicious. were eXcited--and
the civil authority at ThibodanXville arrest
ed some OF them. One of the men was
about Donaldson few days ago, and is said
TO have lost $500 in one sitting at cards.
The above is the substance Of many tales.
In our opinion, nm act of piracy has been
committed, within the last 2 or 3 months, off
the coast of louisiana. Probably some ves-
sci from Rio Grande or the Brassos has been
risen on-part of the people murdered the
vessel sunk, and the specie brought to one
of the low islands between Darraturia and
the mouth of the Teche.
Few spots in the world offer greater IA
cilities for lawless acts than this part of our
coast, nor could more tempting bats he well
imagined than the large sums of money
from Mexico continually passing 10y.

GREAT PUBLIC MEETING IN PHIL
ADELPHIA.

The great meeting of naturalized Irish
citizens, held. pursuant to public notice, in
the stutehou yard, Monday afternoon,
was one Of the most gratifying and efficient
evidences Of public opinion that has yet
been given in any section of the country.
1t was impossible from the position we &C.
cupled, TO make a correct numerical esti-
mate Of the immense concourse present.
Thousands upon thousands were there
more, we have the testimony of dozen
Witnesses, by 20 per cent. than congrega,-
ed together at the recent veto meeting o.!
the Office holders, the getting up of which
called forth such dsreputable and extraor-
binary exertions. Our Irish fellow citizens
deserve well Of the community, deserve
well of the whole country; they came forth
in their strength yesterday, aud, in the most
emphatic language, declared that they had
been deceived in President Jackson, and
that they pledged themselves, as they held
sacred their oath to support the Constitu-
ton of their adopted country to maintain
that Constitution and by every fair and
honorable means, TO oppose the reelection
of Andrew Jackson.-Phiiad. Inquirer.

Norwich to Worcester, then from Norwich to
Providence and then from Norwich to New

not fail to afford every necessary aid IN their

wright in the Wellington Factory since IT was
started in 1914. He is man possessing rare

ALLEGHENY PORTAGE RAIL Roam. This
great work which will connect our eastern and
western canals, is progressing with much in.
dustry. The works of greatest magnitude are
n tunnel near the western termination Of the
line: 900 feet long and "a feet wide by % feet
high cut out Of solid rock; and viaduct of
hewn stone across the Little Conemaugh River
The tunnel is a srupenGous work, which a
mind unaccustomed to see the effects Of human
industry, would consider almost lmpraclicable
The enterprsing contractors drive the work
night and day, and are now nearly half through
this tunnel shOrtcns the distance Of the road
about two miles. The road is % feet wide
calculated for two tracks. From the present
state of the work we think this valuable i'm
provement will be in operation during next
summer. The cheapness Of transportation
from Philadelphia to Pittsbnrg by this route,
will give an impetus TO trade such MS has not
been experienced before Philadelphia Gazette

REBELLION. Notwithstanding all that has
been said and sung about the adjustment of the
Tariff, the spirit of genuine Jacksonisn is as
rlIe as ever in South Carolina. These attempts
at rebellion were to be expected. II the Presi
dent expects Georgia to nuH1y the Supreme
Laws, he cannot expect South Carolina to pur.
different course under the same crcum
stances OF real or Imaginary complaint. While
the President is himself spurn;ng the conslitu
ton, as he has just done in appointing Gwynn
alter the Senate had twice rejected him, he
cannot, if he would, rebuke the threatened lrea
son of South Carolina. These alarms of NuI.
LIFfcAIIoS and DISUNIoN are the natural fruit,
Of Jacksonism. The country must reap what il
has sown. When Messrs. Hayne, McDuffie
&c, elected Andrew Jackson President of The
United States, they struck more fatal blow a
the UNION than that which they now mediate

CHOLERA CHARM. The peasantry of the
counties of Dublin, Wicklow, &C., in Ire
land, seem TO labor under strange delu-
sion. In order to arrest the ravages of the
cholera, what is called "bessed turf" that
is, piece of burning turf is seized 10y one
person who runs, as if for his life, to serve
seven neighbCrs with it; the neighhors are
each bound to carry the "blessed turf" to
seven others. that the live turf may, through
their insirnmenality, touch every place and
every soul in the land The fre-carriers
appear like creatures beside themselves,
and run wildly, bareheaded and barefooted
on their benevolent GRAND. They appear
ed on the Three Rock Mountains in the
vicinity Of Luhin on Tuesday, coming from
'hG interior Of Wicklow they telecraphed
the alarm to Klnsale and Cork by Wednes-
day-on the same day the fre-carriers ap-
peared at Cavan, in the North, and they
have reached Donegal and Fermanagh! 1t
has been attempted (soys the Dublin AIver-
tlser,) to give political complexion to this
extraordinary and fantastic movement
We imagine, however, there are no politics
in the matter. 1t is some old superstition, to
I've traced perhaps even earlier than the in

NEW ORLEANs. july %,


On Friday night, the 18th inst, hetween
ii and ~ O'Clock, the Levee, in front of the
ship yard of Messis. Howard g. Varian, on
the oppasite side of the river, caved in, TO
the no small alarm of those residing in the
immediate neighborhood. A schooner moor
ed to the Levee, was cast adrift end had
her rudder knocked off. While the people
belonging to the ship yard were endeavor-
ing to board the schooner. another part of
the Levee fell in. carrying blacksmith shop
along with it. But little damage was done
to the ship ways at the yard of Messrs. H.
g. V. The Levee continues caving in grad
ually. both above and below the ship yard.
The Levee on this side from Cont to JEFF
ferson-street, has also caved in considera-
bly,, breaking away the wharves and stages
built about two years ago at heavy ex'
pense by the corporation. These occurren.
ces. peculiar to the mud banks of the Mis-
! sissippi, are occasioned by the river reced,
ing rapidly into its bed. 1t is now at a low
er stage than we remember to have seen il
ut this season OF the year.
