on Wednesday night, between the schooner
Millsvllc, Capt. Powers, from Baltimore, with

Two of the Juniors and one Of the Band were
hurt, though not badly.
Capt. Griffith, of the Chesapeake, states that
he had lights up, and thinks they could hardly
have failed to be seen from the schooner if a
lookout had been kept on board; whereas, ow-
ing to the thick darkness, it was impossible for
him to see the schooner in time to avoid her.
Capt. Powers, who has since arrived with his
schooner, states that he had light burning in
his pinnacle; and that he endeavored to avoid a
collision, but could not, as the steamer bore
immediately down on him, and the collision,
Became unavoidable on his part. His schooner
has also received much damage having her
bowsprit, night-heads and top-tmbers carried
away, bulwarks stove in, Sc. So, who was to

ry apparent that both are badly beaten"
REVIVAL OF MILLgRIsM- Strange tunGtcism
The Jamaica Long Island) Farmer gives some
idea Of the consequences OF a revival OF Mil
lerism.

out that he was also doctor Of physic, and hac
important revelations from Heaven connected
with the second advent. GAN must, said he
"pomit up the Derii, and his evil works." anc
he proceeded 10 administer powerful emetics tc
believers. A few of the sisters who believed
! themselves to be greatly under the influence o
the enemy Of all righteousness, took so large
dose of the doctors vil-destroyng aud soul
purifying powders, that two respectable physi
clans in the village were sent for, to administe
something to prolong their lives till the grea
day of destruction should arrive; as from pre-
sent indications their publications must end in
the dissolution Of the earthly tabernacle The
! physicians refused to attend and some of the
friends of the deluded females, less under thu
influence OF Millerite mania, threatened tn,
Doctor with personal violence. Under the in
fuence Of his fears, ne fed to the sea shore
pursued by an engaged mob, and escaped an OK
ira coat of tar and feathers, by getting on boar
a soop bound for New York. Wallace Smith
Of Patchogue, a full believer of the Millert
