PAINFUL SUsrENCK-THR SWALLOW DIsAsTRR.-
The eagerness with which people looked out for
the news on the arrival of the Albany boats, yes
terday morning, is indescribable. Thousands re-
tired to rest the previous evening with minds i'll
at ease, from the misgvings that some friend
might be of the number of the ill.starred passen-
gengers on board the Swallow; and as very little
definite intelligence had arrived, suspicion, appre-
hension and terror exaggerated the unrevealed ca
sualties.
But another class in this city were the subjects
of even stronger emotions. Many citizens had re-
latives- brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers wives
from home, and there was great probabilityIof
their being on their passage from Albany at the
time the accident occurred. Some were certain

terval then between the first announcement of the
accident and the arrival Of the boats from Albany
yesterday morning, was a most painful one to
many.
A scene of a most affecting nature, which we
witnessed, may be related in illustration. Among
several persons who, with seepless eyes, had been
awaiting the steamer. was the wife Of French
citizen ofthis city, who was one of the absent The
steamer Utica came in sight; the half-dstracted
woman, accompanied by several male friends,
rushed in agony to the wharf. She was excess

wharf. None knew the cause of her sudden silence,
or why she stood stock still she spoke not word,
for she could not, until the vessel having approach

was in the arms of her restored husband, exclaim-
ing, "bon ciel le VOLTA! mon cher mari c'est lui
c'est lui dieu remercie." The scene was ex-
tremely impressive for not only the fond wife and
the restored husband wept long and loud, but the
bystanders were also overpowered, and betrayed

These occurrences took place in less time than
it requires to read of them. Yet with those WHO
witnessed them, their remembrance will abide
longer than even that of the departure of the
Swallow.
The SUFFoCATIoN IN CEDAR sTRKET-There
was crowd of the friends of the young man,
named James O'Connor, and his wife, who were

poor people were laid out previous to their burial,

bodies were opened, and jury were subsequently

to prosecute the officers and the Coroner, as they
did not object to the post mortsm examination on
the premises.
