Effects of Temperaacs..-We entered day cottage in the suburbs of Cork. A woman was knit ting stockings at the door It as neat and csm- torable any in the most prosperous district of Eng
 land. We tell her brief story in her own words, as nearly as we can recall them. ''My husband is a wheelrlglu, and always earned his guinea week He was good workman, and neither bad man nor bad husband; but the love for the drink strong
 in him, and t wasn't often he brought tue home more | than five shiings, out of his one pound one, on Saturday night; and it broke my heart to see the children too ragged to send schoo to say nothing of the starved look they had out of the little could give them. Well, God be praised he took the pledge; and the next Saturday he laid twenty-one shilmgs upon the chair you sit upon. Ohi didn't give thanks on pended knees that nght Still was fearful Il wouldn't last. l spent more than the live shil- ings was used to, saying to mysel may be the ms- ney wlll be wanted than it is now. We'll, the uexl week he brought the same, and the next, and the next until eight weeks passed; and glory be to God, there change for the bad in my husband , and all the while he asked me why there was nothing better for him, out of his hard earnings. So l felt there fear for him; and the ninth week, when he came home to me, had this table bought, and these six chairs-one for himself, four for the children, and one for myself. And was dressed in a new gown, and the children all had new clothes and shoes and stockings, and upon his chair put bran sut, and upon, his plate put the ! bill and resale for them all-just the eight sixteen shilings they that I'd saved out of his wages, not knowing what might happen, and that always before went for drink. And he cried, good lady and good gentleman he cried like baby but twas with thanks to God. And now, where's the healthier man than m, husband in the county of Cork, or happier wife than myself, dacenter better fed children than own liur?" IL IS most unlikely that such a family will again slnk into poverty and wretchedness. We might add largely to these cases, not only from what we have heard, but what we have seen.-Halrs | Ireland.

 We have not yet got any of the Bank Reports of this State, and it is now just eight days since re- cesed news of any kind from Tuscaloosa, which, es- tmating distance by time makes our seat of govern ment asdisant as New York.
 In one of the country papers, however, we find sketch of the most important matters eontained'in two of these reports. From this we learn that the commissioners of the State Bank compliment highly it's managemen-state that the principal difficulty they found the investigation of the old accounts upon which suit had been brousht-suggest the pro- priety of changing the mode of cou,pensaing the Bank Attorney, and give a full and concise view oi the condition of the institution.
 The report of the Bank of Montgomery shows an increase in the accommodation debt of that Bank tn- ring the last year of over two hundred thousand do lars-staes that the Bank is organised, it is certain that the increase will goonsuggests the pro- prieiy of prohibiting such increase by law-says that great injury had resulted to the Bank from the laithessness of sherils, it being hard to get ney from them as from the debtors thenseyes-re- comments the appointment by law of Rank Mar shal, and alu,es the frauds upon that nstitutlun These frauds. it states, committed by persons high in character and standing. Paper from Autau- ga, utterly worthless, had been well recommended The same was the case in Dallas to over six thou, and dollars, and in Dale to more than twelve thousand dollars. Forgeries of the names of the members from Benton, had, through the exertions of these members, been detected in eight Legal steps had beentaken to secure the Bank far possible but there were .undoubie lily vast conspraces from Florida to Tennessue io deliaud the Banks. Touching these frauds, there should be a thorough examinations The whole interior last summer rang with pubic indignation respecting them, and it is due the people there, well to the Bank oli- cers, that effort should be spared to lay the guilt where properly belongs. If the reports of the diff ferent popular committees appointed to investigate them be correct individuals of character were either directly, by cousion negligence, leagued with them. How far they implicated should be known | to inc public.

Harricane.-There was terrible hurricane at Richmond, iii this State, week ago last Sunday which did much damage. John T. Mason, Esq. had three of the chimneys of his dwelling house blown down. his fences laid to the ground, and one of his out houses partly uproofed
 A. II. Foster, Esq, residing upon the opposite side of the bayou, had his gin house blown down, contain- ing about 30 bales cotton, ginned and in the seed, which was destroyed.
 J. M. Wilkinson, Esq. living about tw 0 miles south of that place, had the west siia of the roof of his dwelling house blown of, and all his negro quarters prostratedi but no the plantation was injured.
 The house of Alr, Andrew Jemson, in the vicinity, was perfectly demolished Mir. J. his wife, and two small children were in the house at the time it com menced falling, but escaped without receiving any serious injury.
 The cotton gin the Dape place, near that village, was totally destroyed, and large pieces of the frame sent whzzing through the air for hundreds of yards
 Numerous other houses materially injured, fences laid the ground, and trees in every direction torn up by the roots. .t
 It is impossible to form any accurate idea of the loss which the planters have suslaned--The crops of cotton have been almost entirely destroyed on every plantation which the storm passed over.-N. Orleans Crescent City.

Brig Plgnm-We reposted a. few days ago the loss of thissvesse since when captain Shepperd has arrived in this city, in the schr Lady Warrington, and furnished with the following additional partic- ulars. The brig sailed from Boston on the 18th of October with cargo of ,402 casks lime bound for New Orleans. On Saturday, Both (l7 days out, ) at midnight, on the watch being called, strong smell of lime attracted attention, and fearful that it was on fre the set about clearing the cabin and fore castle, but before they had made any progress, the fire burst through the deck, by the chain pipes, and the vessel was almost imme lately in flames from stem to stern, the officers and crew having barely time to jump into the small boat, without an article of provisions. They remained near the vessel until she burnt the water and sunk in lat 26, 30, long. S4 20, and afterwards they continued near the spot
 in the hope that vessel have the light of the burning brig and directed their course for it. Thus in small boat, m the midst of the ocean, with out food or water, did the officers and crew rema in from Saturday night to Thursday noon, when they were fortunately fallen in with by the bark Ernma of London, from Honduras, bound to London, who treat ed them with the greatest kindness and humanity On the following day they were transferred to the schr Emily Knight, bound for Pensacola, where they arrived in safety. The captain expresses his sincere. thankfulness and gratitude to captain John Spence, of the Emma, and captain Drnkwater of the Emily Knight for their attention and kind offices to himself and crew.-Journal of this Morning.
