SHOCKING FATE. The following is an ex-
tract of letter from an officer of the U. s. sloop
of war Falmouth, at Pensacola
" About two weeks since one of our crew, an
old man, who was at the time unwell fell over
board during the night unobserved by any one
ne was not missed until the morning. About
week afterwards a shark was caught on board the
Saratoga, and on opening him horrible to relate)
the head of the old man was found it was sent
on board our ship and recognized. His name
was James Griffin, quarter-master; and as he had
family somewhere in the United States, think
it would be well TO publish it for their informa-
ton"

Ann Arundel County, Md. on Sunday last
Great injury was done to vegetation by the hail
stones. One account says

OF little consequence. Cantelopes were cut from
the vines and hewn to peces-the corn was lite
rally destroyed and stripped of every particle of
fodder and all other products of the soil suffered
in like manner The rain fell in such torrents as
to wash large bodies Of hail into the fence cor
ners, as much as six or seven cart loads of hail
stones in heap, and where there were no shut
tiers to protect the windows not pane of glass

EMANCIPATION IN MARYLANp.-Au emil
nent physician formerly OF Baltimore, who relin-
pushed his profession to take charge Of planta-
ton, in Ann Arundel county, Md, of which,
with one hundred and fifty slaves, he became the
owner on the death OF an uncle, has come out

emancipation. He has published and urged his
views with great power in the Saturday Visiter,
of Baltimore, whose editor represents him con-
nected with some of the first families in the state,
and as having no small stake in the movement he
so strongly recommends. ''When such men,"
says the Visiter s'with such an interest in all that
concerns the welfare and fame of Maryland, take
the field open advocates Of emancipation, there
is surely room to hope that something aciU ere
long be done to rid us of an evil so stupendous
and crushing to the moral and physical energies
