A SUGGESTION. number OF the Boston mer
chants have asked Commander Mckenzie to allow
his portrait to be taken, and he has very gracousy
consented. We would in all humility, suggest the
proprety OF McKenzes Boston friends getting an
historical picture, instead of a mere portrait. A
view of the deck Of the Somers on the day OF the
execution, might be painted-the gallant and chi.

three victims susp, nded at the yard-arm. 1t isn't
very handsome "mug"-the accessories would give

A LITERARY PHENOMENON The acute editor OF
the Philadelphia Spirit Of the Times has pointed ou,
a very remarkable coincidence between the plot
and incident OF Poe's prlze-tale, entitled "The Gold
Bug" and those Of an interesting story, called
Imogene," which was published two years ago
by Miss Sherburne OF Washington city. We sug-
gest to Mr. Poe the propriety Of altering the title Of
his story to the "Hum.bus," when it reaches a
second edition.

NOT unrequt nty cheat their purchasers by selling an
inferior article, having no reputation as merchants

The SQuALL-The philadelphia Inquirer gives
the following account of the "gus of yesterday, as
it visited that city. Ii will be observed that it swept
over this city but hour after it passed over Phi
ladelphia and the rate at which it travelled, may
therefore be- calculated.
Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, the
city was visited by heavy gust from the N. W.,
which brought with it clouds OF dust, filling the
Streets and almost binding persons who were walk
ing against The wind As viewed from the Jersey
shore of the Delaware, the scene was striking
and grand. For at least ten minutes a light brown
cloud or atmosphere seemed to approach the city,
extending 10 considerable hei2ht 1t struck the
Delaware near Kenslngton, and as it travelled iu-
rou,y down the river, The vol mes OF dust conceal
ed every vessel boat, and building from view,
throwing up foamng rank OF waves in It's wild
march In few minutes The entire city was conceal
ed from the spectator, and the dust drilted so
thickly over the stormy water, that it was imposs-
Bile 10 many yards. The cloud occupied abon
five minutes in passing, and was seen lowering
in the distance IL travelled over Jersey, for more
than halt an hour. We much fear that some da
mage has been experienced 10 the northwest of this
CITY.
