ports, when off the island OF Jamaica he was
chased on the 9th OF April by plratcal schoon-
er. and fired INTO three times, and then left. The
bng was IN ballast at the time, and the supposed
reason Of the pirates leaving her was, that she
had nothing on board worth taking she at the same

TO Gaudaloupe.
a severe shock Of earthquake was felt at Guay
ANA a week or two before the Magnolia sailed,
which alarmed the inhabitants very much.
At Barbados very severe shock was felt at
the time OF the earthquake IN Gaudaloupe. On
the 9TH April very heavy shock was felt at eau
daloupe which shook the vessels IN the water.
and alarmed the people on shore 50 much that
they fed in all directions, supposing they were
to have repetition of the late shock which
caused 50 much destruction in that place. Slight
shocks are felt almost every evening.
Capt. Delano saw al Guadaloupe the most
striking evidences OF the ravages of the earth

FARMERS CLuB.-We have long wanted such
an association in our City, the resort Of such vast
numbers of Farmers and others who appreciate
improvements IN Agriculture. Not having any
point of attraction, no opportunity has been afford
ed for them to meet and exchange ideas. They
should meet and each relate what he has By cx-
pcricncc found useful in planting, cu!tvating,
gatherng,--thc different breeds Of Cattle raised,
and facts showing their uses and value for differ
ent purposes, &c. The Secretary should make
accurate entries of every thing important,
These Clubs have been popular and useful IN
England, and IN tins country as far as they have
been tired. In order to save time, 1t Is their
practice to meet monthly or quarterly, and, con-
sulting economy IN time and money, have PLAIN,
substantial dinner, employing their time in con-
versa,ion on subjects connected with their occu-
patton Generally some fine fruit and other pro
ductons OF the season are brought along. and en-
rich the table. Many of our farmers, gardeners,
sc would gladly avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity of showing some of their choice Produc-
tons a table adorned with few forest flowers
would have a fine effect The first meeting will
be on the 22d of June at O'Clock p. NJ, at Col.
.Jessups Pacific Hotel, l62 Greenwich-street
The Board of Agriculture meet at the same place
the same day, at II O'Clock NJ, to transact busl-

who, as our friend says, has been deeply injured
BY recent publication OF an parte affidavit in
Chanccry, in u case Beach rs. Beach TO which
she was no party, and with which she ought not
to have been connected. We cannot involve our
paper in the entirely private matter alluded to,
which has not before been alluded TO by us,
