.UcCmry. This unfortunate individual, now
in Jail, awaiting his trial, upon charge of hav-
ing murdered Paul Roux, of Georgia, while
temporarily in this city, is fast recovering his
wonted health and vigor, which was somewhat
impaired by an effort at self-destructon, soon
after his arrest, and while in prison in New
York. Close confinement, however, leeps him
somewhat enfecblcd, and those who had no pre-
vious knowledge of his personal appearance, up
on seeing him now, could scarce form an idea
Of what he was previous to the commission of
of the crime of which he is accused. His full,
dark eye, has lost much of its lustre; lis color
changed; his lips swollen; and his coultenancc
robbed of the light and fire of former life, is
:, settled and gloomy. He is as cheerful and COM
posed, however, under the circumstances, as
could be expected, and evidences considerable
hope as to the result of the severe ordeal
through which he is soon to pass, in the trial of
his case His spiritual adviser is regularly in
attendance with him, and he is preparing him
SELF nevertheless, to all human appearances,
for the worst. HIS case will, probably, come
up for trial in the City Court, on Monday
next.

Swanping of a Sco,o-.Narrow Escape from
Dro,cning. Yesterday afternoon about two o.
clock Scow heavily laden with chairs, boxed
up for the South American Market was swamp
ed in the middle of the river, between the Point
and the Lazaretto The chairs, we learn, were
the property of Mr.. Jacob Daily and were in
tended to be shipped for Valparaiso on board
of the barque Hortensa, lying at Donnell's
wharf. The two men in charge of the scow lost
all control over it, caused by the high wind,
which at the time was blowing complete gale
forcing the Scow past the Barque into the mid.
die of the river, when it soon filled with water
in consequence of the heavy seas breaking ovel
it. The officers Of the U. S. Receiving ship,
Immediately sent out to the assistance OF the
two men, who were seen clinging to the float
inc boxes, three boats we'll manned by the har.
) DIV sons of Neptune, who succeeded in recover.
/ ing the men and placing them safe on board
f the ship. The boxes mostly floated on shore
at Canton and we believe were all recovered i'll
damaged state. The Scow also drfted ashore
near Harris's Creek.
