Destructive Gales at the
West.
From the Geneva Courier Of " ednesday.

From the Geneva Courier Of Wednesday,
SENECA LAKE.-One Of the most violent
gales which have been known in a long time,
occurred on this fake on the night of Friday
last, W hich resulted in considerable damage
to the owners of property on said lake. The
boats in tow of the steamboat Geneva, while
on its way from the head of the lake to this
place, were severed from the steamboat by
the violence Of the storm; three of which
were sunk, one or two were driven ashore and
pretty much destroyed, while the others were
foundering about on the lake until taken up
by the steamboat and brought into port, after
the violence Of the storm hid abated. We
understand that the b ats which were sunk
were loaded principally witt lumber, with the
exception ofone whose cargo consisted Of
bran and shorts.
BUFFALO, Nov. 1lth.-The wind com
menced blowing gale about 6 o'clock this
morning, and continued to increase until a.
bout ten. At that time it blew so furious as
to endanger the new buildings now being e.
rected in our city, and the shipping upon the
lake. We understand that the schooner
Adeaid was sunk at the mouth of the harbor,
the hands on board escaping in the small
boat. Another schooner came in about half
past ten, with one mast broken. Numerous
otncT VESSELS nave Dee1 COntlnudlly arriving
ut this port during the day, most of which are
uninjured. The lower part of the town is
completely overfowed as far up as Crow
street. A FIVE story brick building on the
fats, east side of Main street, not completed,
was tumbled down in mass from the very
foundation. Another four story brick dwell
ing, unfinished, owned by Danford Rich
mond, was blown down to the first story, from
which man narrowly escaped by Jumping
from the third story. Another new brick
dwelling on South Division street, unfinished
and owned by Amos Morgan, was blown
down, falling uron his dwelling, adjoining,
and crushing in the roof, and breaking through
the second story, but fortunately none were
injured.
2 o'clock, p. M.-The wind still continues
unabated.. The flats were covered with wa
ter TO depth Of from six to ten feet. Many
buildings are ahoat, and the damage will be
immense. We have heard of no loss Of hu-
man lives. The gale is unprecedented and
the height of water is greater than has been
known for years past.-By6alo Commercial

As fact, il il stated, that the kindness
which is shown to Americans by Sir
Robert Peel, whose political prospects
depend upon stopping the psogress OF
American principles, is much more re-
mark able than that of the radical who
writes so much in their favor.
About o clock, we started on fur

foot OF man had never troddeE. Ia the
peculiar words Of our Guide, now we
were on barrow hill, now cop,
"a little round-topped hill,-now on a
dod, (a smaller hill attached to u larger
mountain, )--anon among The screes,
(loose stones,) and soon meeting tarn
Ia pond At last, weary of this, we de-
waited from the route prescribed, and get
ting the best directions we could from Il
people who used such puzzling words as
these, we started for BOrrowdale. Our
guide led US along, one vale, at the base
Of Langdale Pixies to the mountains di-
viding this from yet another vale, the
ascent Of which we began over rocks,
gibbs, (mountain stream,) and feHS,
(hills.) | think we must have ascended d
1000 feet or more by most difficult path,
when Borrowdale stretched upon us in Il
long view. Langdale Pixies (high noun
tains) were yet towering above our
heads. We we were in the Hause.-
(the throat or narrow passage over n
mountain Here were the keids, form
ing the gills, that anon became skeys, Ga
larger stream than gil, and soorwere
Becks, (rivulets or brooks, running rap
idly down the mountain. On the top of
the mountain, we dismissed our guide;
and as the sun was setting, took our lone
walk down the descent to Borrowdale; !;
a walk solitary and roug h enough, | can
assure you.
This long vale, reaching nine or ten
miles, did not have in it a single inhabI-
tant. Nothing of life was seen but The
sheep. Not single tree inviow,- and
the solitude, thus stripped as the vale is
Of any thing to relieve the eye, seemed
awful indeed. We traced the streams
till they formed little river, and for "a
long time we followed the course of that.
Such is some of the country not many
miles from Wordsw ORTIZ $ re sidence, with
wales where man might live for years
almost undisturbed d, and this too in thickly
crowded England! Exhausted almost,
and toward midnight, we came down
from among the rocks upon a cultivated
vale, which is but another part Of Bor-
rowdale. The dogs gave us the first
notice that we were in the neig ighborhood
Of men. AT last all our fatigues were
forgotten in the next public house, with
its excellent beds. ! found on inquiry,
that our mountain excursion, with the
curvets we had made, was about twenty
miles, in all Of which we had not seen a
dozen habitatioDs Is.

| THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
| II is now certain that the Hon. EDWARD
EvERgrr has been chosen Governor by a
majority of more than TWELVE THOUSAND OF
the votes Of the freemen Of this State. Re-
turns from all but 20 towns give him 3O.93o-
Judge Morton, 245I0-Mr. Armstrong, 1911.
All the various combinations Of the opposlt-
ion have been again routed. With all their
untiring efforts to swell their vote, they have
fallen short of their last years strength by
about THREE THOUSAND. They last year
brought to the polls 80 ,2S7 ballots, winch
were given to their three candidates III 'he
following numbers: Morton, 19,255-Balley.
IO,255-Allen, 2,777. This year their united

increased both by the accession OF Aliens

The Wings will have decided majority
in both branches of the Legislature. In the
Senate, parties will probably stand-Whigs,

Last year the Antimasons and Tories run
separate tickets, which enabled the Wings
to elect their candidates in every county
This year they united upon the same candl-
dates, and have succeeded in few counties,
where they would have succeeded before had
they acted together

JUDGE WHTE's LETTER, which we
publish to-day in preceding column, is
truly damper to many ofthe collar men,
who vanly supposed the Judge would
withdraw from the course and leave the
field clear for the little magician.-But
in that they have been most wolully mis-
taken, and although they believed him
to be a fast friend of the old Roman, and
were cautious in what manner they spoke e
of him, they now throw off all restraint
and denounce him as a traitor in unme as
ured terms. The Boston Patriot speak
ing of Judge Whites letter, says
The reply of Judge White, to the
Committee of the Tennessee Legisla-
ture, appointed to notify him of their
nomination of him for the Office of Presi-
dent, is of more marked character than
we should have expected from this quar-
ter. The Judge has been driven by the
opposition he has met with to assume an
attitude of independence, which enables
him to speak with great plainness and
truth of the administration to which here
tofore he has given his adherence. He
describes the Jackson party almost in the
language which we have often used in
reference to it, ASA party not founded
upon any settled principles, composed Of
men belonging to every political sect, har-
ing no common bond Of union sare that Of
irish 10 place one Of Themselves IN The
highest cBice kno'on TO the Constitution, for
The purpose Of hauing aHMe honors, offices
and emoluments Of ihe government, distrib-
med By him among his follo,rers. Such
a define alton of the character of the par
ty, by one who until recently has
beena distinguished member Of it, is de-
serving Of attention. So also is the
charge against Gen. Jackson implied in
the declaration that he shall disdain "an
attempt to ,cin his ,cay to po,cer upon one
set Of principles, and Mento practice upon
another"

THE PREsBYTERIANs.-ltha has become very
fashionable Of late, for a portion of the Pres
byterlans to try some of their Clergymen for
heresy. Among others, the Rev. DR.. BEEcH-
Err, who, however, was acquitted; but he has
since been brought up again, and advised to
express his opinions in different way, so as
not to be liable to have them nsropresented,
which the doctor expressed willingness to
do.
The Rev. ALBERT BARNES, said to be one
ofthe most eloquent clergymen in the denom-
ination, has also been tried by the Synod of
Philadelphia, for heresy, which pronounced
him guilty, by a vote of 143 to 30. His her
esy consists in belonging to the new school
Divines, or as they arc called III thus quarter,
Taylorites.
In this State, it is well known that the Con-
egationalist--the same as the Presbyterans,
except IN Church Government---are also dI-
vIded on the question Of Taylorism. The old
school Divlncs, have, within year or two.

other places, at the same time. The Ca

the ascendants until reaching the zenith,
when in glttoring streams the light spread
off in every direction assuming all the tlnts
of the rainbow. Not q cloud was to be seen,
and the stars thickly studded throughout the
Heavens, shone brilliantly through the auro-
raj light, forming a celestial canopy more
beautiful than any thing imaai alton can con-
ceive. The phenomenon reached the height
of its splendor about IL o'clock, when it
seemed to lose its variegated aspect, and
flashing fainter and fainter, faded away in the
directions whence it arose.

Bulls Mud Machine, Of yesterday,
contains its usual quantum of filth and

to grace the columns of so vile print.
1t complains Of lack of original mat
ter in the columns ofthe Herald. We con-
iess that we are sometimes at a loss IA
circumstance by the by not very unusual
among the corps editoriaD to furnish our
readers with interesting original articles
but the respect we entertain for ou,
subscribers, would induce us to send
them blank sheet in preference to the
billingsgate productions regularly served
up in that paper by its scurvy pack Of
contributors, for the edifcaton Of their
readers. We should not have conde-
scended at this time, TO say thus much of
this paltry concern-the circulation of

comnunity-if we did not recognize in
the scandal so frequently put forth in its
columns, tho hand of one, who. under
the garb of friendship, has repeatedly
disclaimed any connexion with it. We
therefore beg pardon of our readers for
this departure of course long since
marked out by us.
The following specimen of their boast
ed original, we extract not merely for
the purpose Of showing its elegance of
composition, but to show how far it COM
ports with truth, as will be noticed by the

The Roman Catholic Clergy Of Ireland arc
formed into a regular Hierarchy, at the head
of which are four Arch Bishops, Armagh lthe
primate) Tuam, Cashel and Dublin.
Under these are twenty two bishops, with
Vicar General. Dean and arch Deacon in
each diocese. The number ofprests is 400,
and there are also several hundred friars.-
Their income is derived from exactions laid
upon their focks.

The citizens Of the county of Erie, Pa. have
recently held public meeting, and resolved
to build a monument to the memory of Com
modore OLIVER Ii. PERRY. The following
are among the resolutions passed upon the
subject
Resolved, That it is due to the memory of
commodore o. II. Perry, that suitable monu-
ment be erected in commemoration of the
brilliant and important victory obtained in the
battle on Lake Erie, by the Americans, over
the British fleet on the 10Th September, lS-
l3.
. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet
ing the borough Of Erie is an appropriate site
for the erection of such a monument-this
being Perry's headquarters while on the Lake
Erie being the naval station. Here the
fleet was built that bore him to victory; from
this port he sailed on his victorious cruise,
and here returned with his prizes-and here
yet remain many testimonials of that brilliant
achievement-and in all probability if we ev-
er again have an occasion for II naval arma-
ment on the lake, Erie will again be desgna-
ted as the naval station.

mass Of the people of this country are, we are
afraid, scarcely aware of the very serious and
even threatening condition of our il-omend
dispute with France. The two nations occu-
py towards each other a position of singular
embarrassment. Without any just cause for
misunderstanding, diplomatic intercourse has
been suspended and the idlest and most RI

nations, in spite of their interest and their dis
position, INTO an attitude Of reciprocal def
ance."

/ Trial of .4bner Kneeland-The trial of
Abner Kneeland came on yesterday; before
The Supreme Court in session in this city,
| 1t will be recollected that he was indicted
for basphemy about two years since, and
convicted, in the Municipal Court-irom
which decision he appealed TO the Supreme
Court. The trial came on, and after eloquent
and learned arguments Oh both sides, the
case was submitted to jury, who could not
agree, eleven being in favor of conviction,
and one opposed. The case was again tried,
with precisely the same result. Wednesday
was the fourth time that this case was
brought before jury. In the afternoon,
Judge Wilde delivered very able and i'm
partial clargc-and the jury retired; soon
after which the Court adjourned. Thursday
morning, the jury came into Court with a
verdict Of Guilty. 1t will thus be seen that
of forty eight petit jurors, who, after a full
hearing, have decided on this case, Gortv sir
have been in favor Of the guilt OF the prisoner.
The offensive language attributed to MIR.
Kneeland was not only basphemous, but dis
gustingly obscene, and such as should not be
tolerated in any Christian or civilized COM
munlty, where 1t Is desirable to preserve the
proprieties of life, or the semblance Of relig-
ION. We hope that the result of this trial
VIII be warning to the impious and licen-
tious, and show them that even in this coun-
try, where the Press is to all intents and pur-
poses as free as the circumambient air we
breathe, yet that gross blasphemy and OBJ
scenlty combined, will not be tolerated by
public opinion or the La,cs orhe Land.
A motion was filed in arrest of Judgment
which will be decided by full bench. In
the meantime the defendant has recognized
for his appearance in the sum of $500.-[.Ncr.
