married ladies of Charleston, who embarked in
the tated Home steamer, and who had passed
: the summer in the north, resided for several
months previous to her departure, with a rela-
tive in this city. On several occasions while sit
ting alone in her room, she related to a number
of persous in the family, and to friends who Wis.
tied her that she could not account for the re-
markabe nppartions that almost daily were con-
jured up before her. Though at work in her
chair and awake, she would constantly have
her feelings wrought up almost to Mysteries, by
the sight of some dreadful shpwreck, the parting
of the vessel into fragments and the drowning
of crowds of people, principally her family and
friends, engulled in the angry pillows. ltwould
seem by the narrations which have been made to
us, that though little dreaming that she was to
cone to the awful realization of her horrid mag
inings, she foresaw, with prophetic cxactness all
the details o that dreadful event which has drawn
forth the sympathy of every American bosom
She frequently asked her friends what these
visions could be and what is so extraordinary is
that they came to her in open day, and when she
was perfectly awake, and in the best of health
a few weeks after the steamer Home be-
gan to be talked of, and imm ediately, as if by
some fatal impulse, she persisted with her nus
band that this should be the vessel she would go
hcmc in. The name seemed to possess charm
in ITSELF that invited those who were preparing
to escape our winter for the balmier skies oftheir
own South. Her husband had resolved to defer
his return to a later period, but it was to no pur-
pose. The lamented wife seemed bent on her
first resolution, and thus persisted the whole of
this interesting family.
From the earliest times, the truth of such mar
rations, of prescience foresight, have been i'm
pressed upon the belief of the least credulous and
superstitious minds. We do not undertake to
scan the mysteries of mental operations, nor the
secret and unknown sympathies, which may con-
meet the memorial and imaginative faculties, as
it were, by transparent mirror, with the events
of the past and future. But, certainly, though
many facts OF a similar kind have come attested
to us of our own personal knowledge in all their
dreadful gertrude we never heard one more
Clearly cnchained in all its links than that which
we have related. 1t is calculated to fill the
soul with horror, and to discCmpose the mind to
come to the awful conclusion that the entire cir
Gle of this universal being is already work car

FoREIGN Wool MARKET.-By the last advices
the demand for British woods, owing chiefly to
the large quantities which were being brought
forward, was in sluggish state. 1t was expec
ted that the prices will not rise higher than they
are at present. The quantity of wool now in
the hands of the farmers was still great, which
would, as matter ofcourse, tend to keep the pri
ces in check. There appeared to be falling of
IN the demand for wool in most of the manufac-
turing Dissatisfaction Alias.
