led, a few days ago, on the authority
of a Cincinnati paper, that n certain
extensive dealer in pork, ard leader
Of the fashion Of that city, had com,
mitted extensive forgerics aud run
off. 1t is snow stated that the Villains
name is More, and that his depreda-
tons amount to the large sum of
$4,000. The affair has created Il
great sensation in "Porkopolis."-
Moore was a man whose whole con-
duct implied inellable contempt for
small matters. Last summer. he gave
a Pic Nc party which cost him a
thousand dsIlars. He dressed most
exquisilely and was the "mouId of

talked more superbly than any body
else, and capped the climax Of fash.
greatness in that very respect
able town, by the most superb fnan-
cial operation in its annals.

The recent. distressing disaster to the
~Shepherdess, it is hoped, will rouse the
whole country to the vital importance of
the Immediate Improvement of the navi-
cation of the Western Rivers. 1t is
folly to talk about Western Interests; and
Western advantage in this matter! The
entire Union is interested in the safe
navigation Of our Western Waters-as
many..a bereaved and sorrowing heart,
thousands of miles hence, will feel-will
realize, when the overwhelming news
of the loss Of the Shepherdess, and the
untimely and dreadful death of friends

We notice an extract, from Brownson's
Quarterly Review anew periodical, in
which he comes out fla,-footed against
Mr.. Van BureD. He says: "NIr. Van
Buren, comes OF the stage again as the
Representative of the same old corrupt
and corruPting system of party tactics,
followed by the same swarm of greedy
sPoilsmen, with their appetite for plum
der, sharpened by the few years absence
they have been forced, through the re-
mains of the original virtue and patriot
ism Of the country, to practice" He
makes the broad alternative the defeat Of
Mr.. Van Buren,, OH the ruin of the coun-
try. Mr.. Brownson is said TO be a man
Of sense; we know that it was the esti-
mate once formed Of him by some folks.

The late St. Louis papers are filed
with accounts of the loss of the steam
boat Shepherdess, which struck a snag
about three miles below St. Louis. Ac-
cording TO the latest accounts il has been
ascertained that about fifty lives were

every exertion which humanity could
dictate TO relieve the distress of the sur-

been lost within a few weeks past be-

accompanying the same, sent 10 him for
The purpose CT obtaining subscribers to

that "he may rest assured that Bowling

fused TO publish the letter.
