PIRACY AND MURDER.

Our city was startled on Saturday last BIZ
the report OF a wreck having been discovered
in the neighborhood of County Harbor, under
very singular circumstances. We have been at
some pains to ascertain the full and correct
particulars of this exciting affair, so far as they
! have yet TRANSFERRED. The information we fur
nish corrects some misstatements which have
gone abroad; and every line of it may be relied
upon far faithfulness:
Captain Cunningham. of the schooner Bill
low, who arrived here on Saturday from the
eastward, informs US that while lying at an
Choir in harbor contiguous to County Harbor
ON Tuesday morning last, he was informed by
some of the shore people that large barque
was on shore at the back of one of the islands
in the bay. Capt. G. lost no time in manning
his boat and proceeding to the place prescribed,
and it was not without considerable difficulty
that he was enabled to reach the scene of dis
aster, so strong was the wind When he got
sight of the wreck, people Were observed on
her deck, and a man was on her bowsprit hail
ing with speaking trumpet for assistance
On arriving within hail, Captain Cunningham
learned to his utter establishment that the ship
on shore was the Saladig, of Newcastle. from
Valparaiso, bound to London with the rem
nant of her crew, (six menu the remain
der, including the captain and all the officers.
having either been drowned or died at sea
some time previous. Capt c., at the earnesl
request of the Saladin's people and at the risk
of his life, was hauled on board through the
surf by rope, which they had thrown, and
which he had fastened round his waist. One man
in particular begged him to come on board and
take the command, stating that too much grop
had been drunk. On arriving on board, Can't. G,
discovered her to be a beautiful ship, of about
$50 tons, with cargo consisting principally of
guano, but having also 20 tons Of copper; IS
bars of silver, each of about $50 lbs weipht
and large quantity Of specie, about 50 ,000-
The ship had apparently been making for the
harbor when he struck; and when Capt. C.
got on board, she had all sails set, even to the
royals; the ship rolling violently, and the
sea sometimes making a breach over her

THE BLIND SCHOOL.

The examination which took place
at this institution on Saturday the 22d
inst. was deeply interesting and crafty
ing. The variety, amount, and thor
oughness of attainments exhibited by
the pupils was truly admirable-refec-
ting the highest credit upon them
selves and their instructors. This high
intellectual treat was occasionally de-
lightfully relieved by superior perform
ances in music, vocal and instrumental
evidencing apro6ciency in that beauti-
full science promising to result in the
highest excellence. From all this
one might almost be led to- suppose
that blindness, instead Of obstructing,
facilitates the acquisition of knowledge,
were the wonderful requirements OF
the pupils not known to result from an
admirable system, carried out in the
most masterley manner, by the able,
learned, and efficient Principal. and
his accomplished assistants-two.- Of
them blind young gentlemen-de
eddy held in the highest estimation by
all who have the pleasure of their
acquaintance. Indeed, one cannot
but feel a diffdence in telling the
whole truth about gthis noble Insti-
tuition and the estimable blessings it
conters, for fear Of mourning the sus-
pieion Of dealing in fiction. Would
that they could be witnessed by every
one. Surely there would not be found
bosom so callous as to have IN it no
chord responsive to the voice OF hu-
mainly, speaking through them. This
is indeed a noble Institution, trans
forming a most forlom, helpless, mis-
cradle, and, in many instances, degra-
ded class-a burthen to the communi-
ty--a worse burthen to themselves, m
to healthy, cheerful, highly respectable
and useful citizens, capable of obtain
ing for themselves an honorable sub
sistence,-ohen handsome competen

as instructors III literature and the SCI
ences, and particularly as teachers OF
music. IN pToof of this, hundreds of
instances might be mentioned, besides
those Of the two young gentlem en-
(Messrs. Graham and Gray above al
luded to. Who can doubt that the
bene6ciaries of this Institution Will thus
more than remunerate TO the public all
the expenses incurred for that instruc-
ton which ret1eves them from fate
too deplorable to be contemplated
without the deepest commisserations-

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

Of the Effects Of soalffg the Seed
IN Chemical Solutions before Soasm.-
The society established in France, un~
der the title of "Societe d'Encour2ge
ment," offered, in 1910, a premium Of
5000 francs and a gold medal, to the
agricultarist or any other persons that
could produce sure method ofimpro-
wing the growth Of wheat and other
grain, to prevent the seed and plants
from the injury of insects, and from
rust, &c.
Mons. .Hauterive, ofthe Department
of Haul Rhrin, was the person that OBJ
tanned, in October, lS43, the premium
and the medal according. to the decis-
ion ola commission composed of four
chemists and four agriculturalists,
which had been appointed by the So
ciety, who after repeated trials of FL.
Hauterive's process, came to the de-
cision Of awarding him the premium.

were made possessed no peculiar prop

erty, except that it had not been ma
nured for several years. The vigor of
the plants, according to the report
made to the society by the commission
appointed, can be ascribed to the seed
having been, before sowli, subjected to
certain chemical solutions, for exam,
ple-seeds Of wheat stepped in the So
luton and sown OH the 9th of June,
had by the 10th Of July filtered into
nine, ten and eleven stems of nearly
equal vigor, while seeds of the sample
unprepared, and Sown at the same soil,
had not filtered more than two to three
stems. The advantages derived BY
using Mr.. Hauterivc's process are nu-
merous. The wheat viii Yield more
than double when the seed is soaked in
the solution-it will hasten the harvest
atleast ten to fifteen days sooner. No
injury can be apprehended for the seed

thai even field nice, rats orbirds, will
not destroy it after being sown-hies
or rust will not in the least harm the
plants when growing. Mr.. Hauterive's
solution or process is equally beneficial
for all kind of seeds, such as barly, oats,
rye, clover, &c only the soaking in the
solution takes more or less time for each
kind of seeds.

THE CATACOMBS OF PARIS

Professor Durbin in his work on Eu-
rope, gives a sketch of the catacombs
OF Paris. He states that part of the
French metropolis which lies upon the
part Of the Seine, is the Oldest; and from
time immemorial the stone for building
was obtained from quarries lying under
the CITY. It is supposed that the ex-
cavations extend under one-sixth of
the city. In1785, suggestion was
made to convert them into receptacles
for the dead; and it was finally decided
that the remains Of the millions tn at
had passed away from the capital du-
ring ten centuries, should be removed
to these subterranean abodes. The
rubbish was removed pillars were built
up in solid masonry, and particular
portions separated from the rest by
strong doors, with locks, to serve as
the first receptacles. In 1856, the
bones were conveyed in funeral cars,
from one of the principal cemeteries,
and were precipitated down perpen-
dicu!ar shaft into the cayerns below
The contents of other cemetries were
soon placed in the Catacombs, which
were rapidly augmented by the massa-
ores fthe Revolution. A little building
is erected outside the Barriers d Enter
in which is the opening of the princi-
pal shaft. The Professor and his par
ty descended by ninety steps,and founc
themselves alone in the cayerns.-
They followed their guide about
twenty minutes, and came to strong
door door, each side of which was
! ornamented with pillars of Tuscan
architecture. The door was open,
and as the party passed the TIRES
hold the strangers found themselves
surrounded by walls Of human bones,
which the glare of their tapers show
ed to lie regularly piled up from
the roof of the:quarries. The bones
of the legs. and, arms are laid close
" in order. with their ends out
wards; and at regular intervals, skulls
are enterspersed in horizontal ranges,
disposed SO as to present alternate rows
of the back and front parts Of the head,
and sometimes a single perpendicular
range is seen still farther varying the
general outline. Passing along what
seems to be interninable ranges OF
these piles of human beings they came
to several apartments arranged Hlpe
chapels, dispositions Of the piles Of
legs, arms, and grinding SOULS. How
new, how strange, remarks the author,
were the associations ofthe place

life in the gay and wicked city-its
