press secret societies. scene was enacted that
is altogether beyond description. Mr.. Dnggan,
the Grand Master Of the Orange Lodges, " led
off the dance" and if he isn't roarer, there is
none of that genus in Kentucky. After there
had been series of all kinds Of sayings and do
ings, and the events which usually happen when
the house is wrong side up, Sir Allan McNab
grossly insulted the speaker, and was ordered TO
be taken in charge by the sergeant-at-arms, and
the speaker was making out his mittimus to send
him to prison. when Colonel Prince rose in his
place as mediator. By the way, what a per-
fecily opposite this Colonel Prince is from what
we could fancy him to be- ! have sat at the
same table with him all the time have been
in this city, and have never yet met man
who possesses more of the milk of human kind
ness than this same Colonel Prince. He is the
peacemaker Of the assembly. 1t is true that he
did shoot the brigands, who had come over in
defiance of the laws of their own country, and
were burning his property before his eyes, and
think almost any Yankee would have made
daylight shine through them under similar cir
cumstances But this is neither here nor there.
Yet Colonel Prince convinced McNab- that he
had acted improperly, and McNab apologised,
whereupon the matter was dropped, and the
doors were opened but it being two o'clock at
night, the House adjourned.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

9 The old man eloquent" arrived in Cincinnati
on Wednesday last, and was welcomed with
great enthusiasm He was addressed by the
mayor Of the city in very appropriate manner.
The Gazette, abiding to the reply Of Mr.. Adams,
says: tx
g The old man spoke in manner character
'istic of all true greatness-with simplicity, d.
rectness, and earnestness His heart was full.
He felt what he said, and others felt for and with
him. More especially was this the case, when
he replied to the mayors allusion to his venera-
ted father, in tones and language SO touchingly
eloquent. 1t produced a thrill in the mighty
multitude, and in nothing was their sympathy SO
strongly expressed as in the deep stiffness which
reigned while he spoke"
AT meeting Of the members Of the Cincinnati
bar on Wednesday evening, it was determined to
tender dinner to Mr.. Adams, during his stay in
the city, to which all members Of the bar of other
Cities now in Cincinnati, will be invited, and
other distinguished strangers from abroad.
A public meeting Of the citizens Of Cincinnati
was held on Wednesday evening at which COM
mittee was appointed to invite Mr. Adams to adj
dress the people at large on the subject of edu-
cation.
A committee of twenty-six persons were APP
pointed by the citizens of ST. Louis, on the lst
instant, in town meeting assembled, to address a
letter to MIR: Adams, earnestly requesting him to
extend his journey to that city. l''

over her, she striking very hard. The masts
were cut away to ease the ship. The water by
this time reached nearly to the ceilings. The

deck, in which situation she remained fourteen
hours. Nsrs
During the night blue lights were burned,
which were seen from Staten Island, and the,

took off all the passengers and all the crew, ex-
cept the captain and four seamen, who remained
with the ship. The wind had lulled, and there
was much less sea running at the time the bag
gage of the steerage passengers was saved, but
the greater part belonging to the cabin passen-
gers was left on board floating about the cabin.
No hopes are entertained Of saving the ship.
Some Of the goods will be recovered, but all will
