MELANCHOLY Occurrence AT CAPE MAY
We regret to announce, says the Phlade phia
American. that John Troubat, Jr,, of the firm
OF Albone & Troubat, General Commission
Merchants, No. south wharves, was drowned
while bathing in the surf at Cape May, at |
O'Clock on Wednesday morning. The tide was
down, and the unfortunate casualty was occa-
stoned by his venturing out too far. The body
came ashore near the Light house at 5 o'clock
the same evening and was brought TO Phadel-
pha on Thursday afternoon. The deceased
had life prescryer on when he went in TO
battle, and it is supposed that it must have be-
come united. II was washed on the beach Just
as he was seen sinking. Every effort was made
to save him, and a whale boat got within few
feet Of him when he disappeared. The mean-
choly affair cast a gloom over every thing on
the island The sister of the deceased had ac-
him to the Cape, and left the beach
only moment before the occurrence. Mr.
Troubat. who was young man, had been sue
cessfully engaged in business, and was highly
respected for his integrity.

To THE HUMANE. Mr. George Smith, who
was private in the third company OF the first
battalion eth Regiment, at the battle of North
Point, and who has the certificate of Lieut.. Col
Kennedy Long, Major Samuel Moore and
Capt. Wesley Woods, that he conducted him
self in that engagement with cool and delibe-
rate bravery, has been unfortunately disqual-
fled for exertion for his own support for many
months, (having been severely afflicted with
rheumatism is now in necesstous and de-
pendent condiion-and. as he "did the state
some service' in the time of tribulaton and
danger, he confidently appeals to the liberalty
of the citizens of Baltimore, not to permit him
% suffer, now that he is deprived by disease of
lhe power Of assisting himself Those who are
disposed to contribute TO his relief, will greatly
obhge him by depositng whatever they may
think proper at either of the newspaper Offices
OF this city. Nothing but necessity could in
duce him to make this appeal to his fellow
citizens, for he would greatly prefer (were it in
his power, to labor for his support, rather than
tkhs ask assistance from others.

EXTENSIVE FoRGEEIEs. About two or three
months ago, forgeries to very large amount
were committed upon the firm of E. X. Clark
& Co., of N. York, from which they and other
firms were losers to the amount Of nearly So
900. 1t was discovered that the forgeics had
been committed by a man, named Leon Cold
smith, formerly in the employ Of large mer-
The matter was placed in the hands of Gilbert
2. Hays complaints having been made at the
Police Office, and after while the gentleman
was discovered to be in Chicago, and reqnsi-
ton having been obtained, officer Huthwate
started off TO arrest him. He attained his OBJ
ject, and arrived in New York on Wednesday
with Goldsmith in custody.

accidental DrO,cning A youth named Town
send Porter, aged IA years, son of Mr. Charles
Porter, of the firm of Hammond s. Porter, chi
ma merchants, was drowned about 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning, in the Spring Gardens, a,
the foot of Eutaw street. He was playing up.
on some logs, when he unfortunately fell over.
board, and not being able TO swim, was drown.
ed. Every effort was made to rescue the un-
fortunate youth by the bystanders, but without
success. William Cassell, 4 youth, deserves
great credit for his exeItions: he plunged into
the river with his clothes on, and remained
swimming and diving about, until he was SO
completely exhausted that fears were entertain
ed that he would suffer like fate. The body
was finally recovered, but not until life was
extinct. An inquest was held by Rufus b.
Gallup, Esq, coroner, and the jury returned a
verdict of 'Accidental drowning"
The Jackson Monument. The delegates Sc
lected by the different wards, to meet in con-
vention to take the necessary steps to raise a
monument in honor of Gen. jackson, met on
Thursday evening, at Democratic Hall, South
street. Chief Justice Roger b. fancy was
chosen President; Asa Needham, Esq, and Col.
Henry Myers, Vice Presidents; +. Yates
Walsh, Esq, and Dr. VIM. T. Leonard, Secre-
taries There not being so full an attendance
as was desirable, the meeting adjourned over
to Friday night next, to meet at the City Hall.
Burglary. The dwelling of Mr.. Robertson,
in west Madison-st., was broken into on Thurs
day night, and articles of clothing amounting
in value to about sixty dollars, stolen there
from. The thief entered by cutting through a
shutter of the window of the back building.
Sharks. We learn that during the week, a
large flock of geese, belonging to person re-
siding in the neighborhood Of Bear Creek,
have been destroyed by the sharks. Several
Of these ''monsters of the deep" have been
seen in the neighborhood of the city, and their
continuance is assigned as reason for the scar
city of fish. which are generally more plentiful
at this season of the year.
Rev. DR.. Wyatt. We regret to learn, says
the American, that the health of the Rev. DR..
Wyatt, the beloved Rector of ST. Pau's
Church, is so delicate that in the opinion of
his physicians sea voyage is deemed indis-
pensable. We further learn that the vestry
have made arrangements which will enable
him to embark for Europe about the first of
the ensuing month. We need scarcely add
that this faithful and Jealous servant of the
Lord will bear with him many and fervent
prayers for his safety, and his early return to
his family and church in renovated health.
