Messrs. VAN buren, and WOODBU-
RY, under the direction of AMOS KEN
DALI, are said to be hard at work de-
vising another experiment upon the
Currency. What kind of experiment
IS not yet exactly known by the Gov
eminent press, or in truth by the plot
tiers themselves. When Mr.. BENTON
arrives in Washington, something pos
tive will be known. He has probably
found out that his golden image stands
upon legs of clay-but if there is gold
enough for the salaried officers, what
matter is it how fare the people? In
the meantimeS the interval between
this time and the arrival of the great
solitary Ball Roller, is to be employed
by BLAIR, KENDALL, RIrcHIE & Co.
IN vituperatlng the Merchants, warning
against credit, and charging upon the
capitalists ofthe country, the failure Of
all the 'humble efforts" of JACKSON &
WOODBURY. to improve the currency.
The salaries ofthe privileged class are
EXCHANGED in value in proportion to the
general distress; so that they have NO
fear of ioosing aught-but the favor Of
their political masters.

BALTIMORE, June Is.

AwrU1. FLOoD-LOss OF LIVES AND
IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
The CITY of Baltimore was visited, a
bout one o'clock this morning, with the
most destructive calamity that has ever
befalIen it. During the greater part OF
yesterday, there was a considerable
fall Ofrain, which increased after night
fall, and about IL o'clock fell in torrents.
About half after twelve, the water OF
Jones' Falls had risen to an alarming
height, and not long after, one OF the
wooden bridges over the falls at Bath
street, was carried away, and passing
down the stream, lodged against the
stone bridge at Gay street.
This, Of course, soon occasIoned
an inundation and all the lower parts
II the neighbOrhood were speedily O.
xerhown. The rain continued to fall
with unexampled violence for several
hours, Increasing the volume OF water
to such degree as to sweep away the
Bazaar Bridge near Baltimore street,
Az Foot Bridge leading from the Fish
Elarket, and the Draw Bridge at the
lily Block. The Stone Bridges at
FAY street, Baltimore street, Water
street and Pratt street were not carried
away, but were greatly injured, parts
# the arches being carried Oft. 1t IS
apostolic to estimate accurately the
0ss of property occasioned by this ca
amitv. 1t cannot we should suppose
tOssibIv be less than million of dollars.
Independently OF the loss to the city
by the damage to the public Bridges
the destruction of the Centre Fountain
and the injury to the Genre Market
house, the streets, pavements, &c. cS2-
not be repaired, except by very heavy
expenditure.
But the most distressing part Of the
narrative vet remains to be told. Not
less than fourteen persons certainly,
and it is feared MANY more, were sud-
denly and most awfIlly hurried into
eternity by the sudden ''riSing of the
waters" SO sudden and overwhelm-
ing was the rush of the inundatlon that
these unfortunate persons had not time
10 escape from their dwellings, and
were found dead either in their beds,
or evidently in the act of a vain en-.
deavor to escape.
In house situated in the rear of the
German Lutheran Church, at the or
ner of Holiday and Saratoga sire cts,
were found the drowned bodies OF
Christopher Wuist, the Sexton of that
Church, has wife ard three children.
One Of the children, an infant, in its
cradlel The rest had started afrigh-
ted from their beds, onlytO feel the ut
ter impossibility of escape, from the
torrent which surged and rOared around
them. filling their apartment from floor
to ceiling,
In shantee opposite to WIRES dis
tillery were found the bodies Of
Donnelly and his WHEAT tn corner
Concord and Water Streets Dough
erty, an IriShman; on the Long Dock,
the dead body Of James Doyle, an l.
risbman.
A Shaptee, on the FaIl'1 Turnpike,
out Of the city, was suddenly lifted up
by the current and swept away. Five
persons who occupied it were drowned;
the body of one Of them a girl, has
been found, the corpses Of the others
are, no doubt. covered beneath the rub.
bish, which the wOrkmen are now en-
gagged in removing from the various
bridges over the falls.

From the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser.


morning last, as the steamboat CrusG-
der, which plies between Pascagoula
and New Orleans, was passing Rabbit
Island, she collapsed her flue, whereby
thirteen persons were scalded badly.
One was killed, three others have died
since, and the remainder are in a very
bad state. Most ofthose injured be-
longed te the boat. The Mobile on
her passage to this city found the Crn-
SGde7 In her disabled condition and
towed her back to Orleans.
The New Orleans Bulletin of We'd
nesday gives the subjoined particulars
of the catastrophe:-
Thirteen of the unfortunate persons
on board were scalded in the most Sc
rious manner, four of them were thrown
into the water by the explosion, and
had il not been forthe timely assistance
of Mr.. Smith, the keeper of the Light
House, they would in all probability
have persisted. He however succee-
ded in saving three out of the number,
the other was ostbefore any assistance
could be given him.
The situation of the unfortunate indi-
viduals can scarcely be imagined
obliged as they were to remain with
out any means to obtain the necessary
medicines to afford them relief. Du.
ring one whole day they suffered the
most excruciating agony. About hall
ofthem have already died. and the re.
covery of the remainder is extremely
doubtful. Fortunately DR.. Hough was
on board, and all the assistance that a
skilled physician could render, was free.

From the Wstumpta Sentinel.

A foul and most unnatural murder
was committed in this town on Monday
the 5th inst. Our highly respectable
townsman, Mr.. HUGH WARE, a mer-
chant of Wetumpka, was standing IN
the door of his counting room, between
the hours of 8 and o'clock at night,
in company with friend, when the as
sassin lurked within a few PAGES of his
position, and discharged his musket,
| loaded with ten or fifteen buckshot.
Mr.. Ware instantly fell and expired
without a struggle or a groan. one OF
the shot having entered his brain, and
another the region of the heart. A Cor
oner's inquest was Immediately held,
which decided uponits second sitting,
thatthe deceased came to his death by
violence, and from the best evidence
which the nature of the case would
then admit of, that Abner J. Cody, and
his servant John, were the perpetrators
of the infamous deed. John was seen
running from the direction of Messrs.
Ware and Campbell's store immediate
ly after the firing of the gun, and on
being questioned by several gentlemen,
as to his connexion with the murder,
frankly and readily confessed, that his
master, Cody, was the assassin; thathe
compelled him to assist in the commits
sion of the act, threatning his life if he
dared to disobey; that he carried the
musket to the place atwhich it was DIS
charged; that his master then received
it from him, rested it on the fence, fired
and killed Mr.. Ware. Precisely the
same facts were testified to on his reg.
ular examination, which took place
The ensuing day. In the meantime, Co.
nv was arrested, and brought before
Justices Beechet and Gray, and after
several days painful examination of a
host of witnesses-in the course OF
which, the testimony of John was sus-
tained-it was ordered by the Court
that both Cody and John should be
committed, without privilege of bail, to
The common iaiIofthe County, to awa&
their trial at the next Circuit Court, for
Autauga County. Ware had previous
ly prosecuted Cody, for larceny, which
fixed in the bosom of the latter a most
deadly antipathy against him; but the
deceased having afforded Cody fire.
quent opportunities ofrevenge, and he
failing to avail himself of them, had
ceased to entertain any apprehension
of attack, never dreaming that, in the
very moment of his fancied security,
the noiseless tread of the assassin was
about his dwelling, and that his bullet
was already speeding its way to his
heart. The obituary of Mr.. Ware will
appear in this or the next number.
