MARINE DIsAsTEK.-A slip from the Norfolk
Herald office, dated July 10, 2. NJ, received at
The Exchange Reading Room, says: "The u.
: sbio Macedonian, Capt. Mayo, bound for the
Coast Of Africa, got under way at the anchorage
sbout 6 o'clock this afternoon to drop down to
HAMPTON Roads, but had not proceeded more
than half mile when sudden furry of wind
and rain from W. N. w. took her all aback, and
,rbont allowing time to clcw up or take in her
,onsa;ls drove her ascrn till she came foul of the
PENNSYLVANIA producing a conclusion which was
distinctly heard on Shore a distance of nearly
half mile. We have not heard the extent of the
damage, but from some fragments of spars which
51fted past Town Point, it is supposed that the
Macedonian is minus her gait and spanker BOOM
The souall lasted for nearly half an hour with
Great violence during which the U. S. steamer
Union and schr Flirt dragged up abreast Towns

A New MOTIVE PowER.-Dr Drake of Phlla-
delphia claims to have invented a machine to SUI
percede the steam engine. Atmospheric air is
allowed to pass into cylinder through tube,
and when admitted there is rarifed by some inter-
nal chemical agent, and the piston moves accord
ngly. All previous experiments to employ air for
this purpose have failed.
THE SHOE BUs1NEss.-We understand from va
rlous authentic sources, that the shoe business, IN
This quarter, is now in brisk and promising con-
dion. In Lynn every workman is employed,
and in this city and elsewhere, we understand,
the case is nearly the same. Wages have risen
10 the average they have maintained for the last
few years. Salem 1azeile'

County Wing being in the centre of one OF the
finest wheat growing regions of the Great West,

mated
