B. Hill at Buffalo brings the Advertiser news CT
the storm the Upper Lakes. The storm was
very severe on Lake Michigan and the schr Ban

GULF orEKArIoSs.-The ship United States,
from Boston, arrived last night, reports tina, on
the 18th an armed brig, supposed to belong to the
Mexican Navy, was seen going into Stirrup KEYS.
On the l4th inst. saw war schooner supposed
TO be the Texian schooner San Bernard, in chase
Of tha Mexican vessel.
A passenger in the United States, familiar with
all the vessels in the Texian Navy, gives it as his
opinion that the craft in chase was the San Ber-
nard. If thar proves to be the ease, we may hear
OF an action of some kind upon the Gulf, rather
sooner than was expected.

NOVEL AMUsEMENr.-Passing the corner of
Chambers and Cha,ham-streets yesterday after
noon our attention was attractedby the shouts and
laughter of some score of Juveniles, who had cut or
formed hole through the ice tho gutter and
as ladies and gentlemen crossed the street, the
lads would point up to the houses on the eppo-
site side and cry, FIRE fire! whereupon the unsus-
pectng pedestrians would innocenty step knee
and huzzu. We saw some ten or dozen persons
thus decoyed into the trap to the Infinite amuse-
ment of the youngsters but wish readers
distinctly to understand that the youthful rogues

ferocieusy pronounced ii 81 gross tissue of false
hood and malignity;'' but the Chronicle publishes
the petition of the amiable lady and thus rather
casts shade over the veracity of the Dorr organs
G0 Rochester papers state that two men have
been arrested on charge of having felled the tree
across the railroad track near Canandaigua, as we
mentioned a few days since. Tracks in the snow
enabled the officers to track them, and an axe,
found in the house, having marks like those on
the chips cut off, tends to fasten suspicion upon
them. One of them is said to have made mpor-
tant confessions connected with the affair." We
trust something will be done which shall operate
as an eiectual prevention against similar attempts
in future.

the Wings can have no hope OF success
