LATE FROM ENGLAND.

The packet ship Virginiun, arrived at New
York last week from Liverpool, bringing Lon.
don papers 10 the 9th and Liverpool to the
9Th February. They contain no news Of inn
portance, if we may except long and distress
ing accounts of the continuance and progress
of the influenza. A London letter writer
says
"Thc influenza is now in every part of
these Islands, and fear it has been even
more destructive than the Cholera was. IL
falls chiefly upon the aged and wealthy. The
deaths are most numerous, and the streets
are crowded with funerals. The number Of
the sick may be gathered from the fact that
in the city Of Exeter alone, $1,000 persons
are laid up by this epidemic. In London,
about one third of the population is more or
less affected by it, and in Liverpool, there
cannot be less than an equal proportion ofthe
inhabitants laid up. Ifnegccted, it eventu-
atcs in typhus fever"

FLORIDA.

! A slip from the Savannah Georgian, con-
tains the following extracts from the Jackson
vile Courier of March 9. 1t will be seen,
that the expectation Oft an ending to the war,
by the surrender of Oseola and other hostile
chiefs, is not so confidently anticipated as it
was fortnight since.
The prospect Of peace which three weeks
ago opened bright and beautiful upon us, is
growing dim and lndistnct with the smoke
and clouds Of anticipated and renewed war
fare. The day Of peace, like the long sought
land Of Italy, reccding before the Trojan Ae-
meas, flies before MS into the future. The
prospect is viewed now through the dmness
of dstance-and the 'distance lends no en-
chnntment to the view"-although ''it robes
the mountains in its azure hue"
After all the time spent--all the indul-
geDce given. all the credit vouchsafcd to the
Seminole chiefs and their Munchausen tales
of being tired Of war, of wishing to surrender
they have not yet come in--or had not at the
last intelligence from Fort Armstrong. Mi
canopy, Philip, and Oseola, have young war;
riors, yet unsubdued. unhnmbcd, proud, dar-
ing, and as greedy for the battles broil as
ever.
Our confidence, even what little we had, OF
the war being over, is growing fainter and
taintcr--because the Indians linger in coming
in-thcy have not done as Jumper and ALI
gator promised. They seem to be acting a
deceptive part-they are mannuvering, and
are ambiguous and enigmaical in their stalks,
so far as we can Judge from what we hear
And because Gen. Jesup himself, in our opin-
ion, places very little confidence in those
chiefs who have come in.
Every preparation is being made to prose-
cute the war. News from Volusia on the 9Th
inst. says, that nothing late had been heard
there from Dade's battle ground-and nine
companies. under 1t Col. Harvey, were to
have left that place on the Sth inst. for Fort
Mellon, at Lake Monroe. Provisions. stores,
lumber &c. are being transported thither, us
if an active compagn were commencing.
We fear Gen. Jcsup has lost time by his
humanity, in giving the hostiles the time
they asked to surrender. That they will sur
render, there are yet hopes, slight hopes,
Daily we expect to hear something decisive
on this point. We must wait for what time
will bring to light.

GENERAL JACKsoN's SAVINGS. "--The
article in the Washington Globe denying
the statement which has been going the
rounds that Gen. Jackson went home
with something like 1000, saved out
of his Salary, is thus replied to by the
n. Y. Courier s. Enquirer.
The Washington Globe, aluding to ccr-
tain statements that General JACKSON had
saved some where about $4,000 out Of the
two hundred thousand which he had received
as President Of the United States, says the
General brought $4,000, Of his own money
with him when he first came to Washington,
and has been constantly drawing on his pr-
vate resources since, and that he has actually
gone home with hardly money enough to pay
his travelling expenses. If it were not for
the immaculate purity of the Globe in all
matters, and especially those Of veraclty. we
would not believe word or syllable of this
statement; for we happen to know very well
that the opinion Of the Generals stfriends,
is that he has saved even more than the larg-
est estimate. II s hardly necessary howcv-
er to meet the statement Of the Globe serious
ly-since it is apparent that its paragraph
may mean one thing just as well as another,
and that it is quite consistent with that para
graph, to believe that General Jackson has
"laid up" even more than half Of his sala-

STEAM PowER.-Tho New York Express
tells of n curious fellow in the cellar Of the
great Astor House, without head or heels,
tongue or ears, hands or feet, who is ironing
clothes in one place, washing in another,
grinding coffee, rubbing knives, roasting tur-
kies, etc, pumping ten thousand gallons Of
water per day, and throwing much of it into
the sixth story; the maids use him to dry
clothes and TO boil them, and rail road there
/ is to move the clothes presses in. Indeed,
he is chambcrmaid, washerwoman, knife
scourer, kitchen maid, cook, coffee grinder,
clothes ironcr, bathng-room boy, etc. etc, all
at the same time.
| This curious fellow is named "Avery's
Rotary Engine" For seven months he
has worked more than ten hours per day, at
the speed of more than three thousand revo-
lutions per minute, at cost for fuel Of 81,
1-2 day, and at the end Of the time was in
as good condition as when his labors first
commenced. The original cost is only $500.

.7ccident on the Worcester Raiiroad.-We

separated from the cars, and run Off the rails
down the steep embankment near Ncedham,
carrying the engineer with them. Most hap
PLY he received no injury, although the en-
gine boiler burst, and the engine and tender
were dashed to pieces. Since the preceding
was in type, we have learnt that the accident
was occosioned by the breaking of The crank
shaft, and that the speed Of the engine was
only five miles an hour. No blame is attach
ed to the engineer The height Of the en-
bankment is fifty feet.-Boston Transcript Of

Daring .Nma Robbe,y.-We learn from
memoranda furnished us by the attentive su-
pcrintendent of the Exchange, that the mails
from Louisville, Ky. for Philadelphia and all
towns to the eastward, dated on the Sd inst,
have all been plundcred; the letters broken
open. and such oftheir contents as consisted
in money abstracted. Many mutilatcd letters
have been found in the hold of the steamer
Benz. Franklin, running from Louisville to
Cincinnati, the ratc of which craft has been
arrested. and upon whose person s POO were
found. The mail between those two places
met similar fate. A large package Of the
torn letters has reached the Philadelphia Of.
fee, from the postmaster at Cincinnati. The
robber above mentioned, is now imprisoned
in that city. The losses sustained are not yet
fully discovered, though it is believed that
they are very heavy. There is an account
OF a robbery from Cincinnati journal, which
may be the same as the one here mentioned
but from certain passages, We are led to infer
that it was previous act by the same hand.

to be unable to speak. II is supposed that

ORDINATIoNs.-On Wednesday evening,
Of last week,an ordination was held in ZIoN's
CHURCH, in this town, by the Rt. Rev. AL
ExANDER V. GRIswoLD, ID. ID. Bishop of the

Diocese. There were present also of the
Clergy, Rev. DIR Crocker Of Johns Church,

Waylcn, of Devices, Eng. and Washington
Van Iandt, of this place, for the Order Of
Deacons. Prayers were read by the Rector
Of the Church, and the Sermon was preached
by the Bishop. 1t was founded on Rev. 4th
ch. 9th, 9TH and sv. 1t was lucid and able
exposition Of that remarkable prophetic Wis.,
ion, and was rendered strikingly appropriate
to the occasion by the delineation which it
suggested of the sacred Office ofthe ministry
The Bishop portrayed the minister of Jesus
Christ as he ought to be, and as the Church
has happily seen it exhibited in his own pure,
exemplary, Jealous and industrious life for
half a century. The ordination service fol-
lowcd-when the candidates were presented:
Mr.. Wayen by the Rev. DR.. Crocker, and
the Rev. p. ii. Greenleaf and Mr.. Van Zandt,
by the Rev. Mr.. West. The services were
concluded by the administration of the Holy
Communion, in which the Bishop was assist
ed by the Rev. DR.. Wheaton, and the Rev.

occasion were deeply solemn and interesting,
and will not soon be forgotten by those who
witnessed them. w. V.
