Lady Alesbury did not long survive thin event. But ere she dropt into her grave at a rIpe Utd ages she saw her descendants h0iF prsSumPtive 10 the British crown. Ninw Charlt's had married, but had no Legitimate
 issue, and accordingly, his brolheP's family
 had the prospects and rights of succession. And iM realilyY two irnmediate descendanta OE the bare-Io4Jted country girl did ultimate. ly fill the thr0ne-Nary (wife of William III,) and Queen Aune, priAsesses both of a- lusrious memory
 ! Such were the fortunes Of a young woman in whom the worthy landlacy of the Goat and COmpaSseS was fearful of encouraging rash hopes, by a referance 10 the lofty posi- liOn it had been her own fate to attain in life. In one assertion, at least, the hostess was un. doubtedly righ-that success in life must be labOred for in some way or other. With. out the prudence and pr"priety of conduct which won the esteem and love of the brew. CT, the sequel of the country girls history could not have been such as it Was,.
 TNe Milleriles.-What should bs done A- We have warned our readers of the baleful influence of the horrible fanatcism preach- ed by Miller and few kindred spirits. who have recently pitched their camp in the vi. cinity of our city. We have not exaggerated the evil. Even now his bold and spacious explanations of the prophecies are in the hands of thousands of our ignorant and credulous citizens, be- wildering, frightening and driving people to. raving insanity.
 There was never more Blasting curse than such delusion. It comes like the peS. tiieEcc that wulketh in darkness. It falls upon the mind us the plague does upon the ksNn f a, ral panic. Mems judgments become unset-. tied. end they rush, the wise and the iguo-. rant, into one common frenzy.
 Where are the watchmen who sheuld warn us of the approachSOf this monstrous, error! Where are thos8 who should b0 foremost to combat M-to point out its ahsuv- dity-to bring back people to their calm and sober senses!
 Ought not the clergy of thisecity of all de- nominations to meet tat once, and take coun. sel together, that the wise may instruct the simple, and all be taught of God? Surely they cannot be indifferent to the promulga-, ton of this awful belief. Surely they must be held accountable for the evil effects of this delusion.
 Is Miller wrong? It must be easy to show it. Is he right? Then let the whole world know t. Let the pulpit speak out, cotfitln- ing the awful truth of his doctrine-or put ting, at once and forever, stop to his fana., teal error; let the press speak out 10 its mil- lions of readers setting their minds at rest-, or giving forth the warning ot this worlds dissolution.
 This delusion, as we suppose it to be, is not destined to stop. As the day drawS nigh, 1t will increase with terrible force.- Where they make oDe convert now, twenty wilt join them before the winter is over.- The awful result it is easy to foresee.
 Let our clergy, then. awake to their duty. ana speak wnlie yet men are sane enough sS. hear thcm-N. Y. Aurora.
 The Steamboat Vermillicn Burnt, and 2 FS., males dsroureI by the fames.-About o'clock this morning. the steamboat Vermillion, on her way down the Fake, while at -Iluron., took fise and burnt to the waters edge. The chambermaid and lady passenger named Davison, are supposed to be burnt as nOth. ing can be found of either since. Nc blame Is attached to any one connected with this, unfortunate affair. She was from 35O to 400 tons burthen. ClevelGnd PlainaeaLer, Nou. 0. We learn further, from one of our citizens. who arrived here last evening from Buffalo, that it was supposed. the Vermiliion had on, board about fifty passengers-the bodies of six persons had been found, and it was tho't that others were lost. Among those drown. cd was Captain Robinson and lady, just married. He attempted to swim ashore with, his wife on his back, but was unable to car- l " the load, and they both sank together. | A Mrs Clark, formerly Miss Perkins of Norwich in this state, was among the pas. sengers, with two daughters, one six and the other twelve years of age, and by her remar. kabie presence of mind, they were all saved. l They were at inc stern of the boat, and find. ing no other way of escape, she dropped them into the water, giving them directions to siege hold of a chain as they rose, which she pointed out, and which was attached. to the boat. Seeing them successful, she jump- ed into the water herself, and they all three kept hold of the chain until assistance cana to their relief.-Haryord COuront.
