which time The clouds began to break, and tho
squalls less furious. Got the ships head to the
n W and hauled the yards round, the sea still
raging as before and nearly ahead, curling and
breaking over the ship in every direction. At
noon the storm ceased; but the sea continued
more violent till 2 P. M. at which time itceas-
ed gradually with the Withdrawing lasted
about IS hours; during which time it gives me
much pleasure Ito state, the officers and crew
conducted themselves with great GOODNESS and
presence of mind.
At halfpast 5 o'clock on Monday morning,
we were in the greatest possible danger.
Mr.. Stevens, one of our passengers, who was
an eyewitness, says ofit-''a peculiar lifting Of
the horizon in the east, with an appearance of
an amber colored belt Of ligbt low down on the
horizon, warned Us Of an approaching blow
Presently it came, a perfect tornado, driving
before it the clouds Of spray, and as it neared
his, fairly lifting the white foam from the waves
like a shower Of rain. AS the squall struck US,
the ship careened over and buried her gunwales
in the ocean, and lay for few minutes stricken
powerleSs, and apparently at NE mercy of the
savage waves that threatened u engulph U.s.
This was the trial, the last round fought be-
tween the elements and our gallant vessel. At
this critical moment the engine was true to her
duty Still went on its revolutions, and round
and round Numbered her iron wings. Gradu-
ally recovering her upright position, the good
ship, with head quartering the sea, came up to
her course, and all was well. 1t was the eli
max of the storm. The last great effort of the
whirlwnd king, to send US to the sea-giants
cave below.
On Monday about 10, the storm had abated
sufficiently to admit of standing on the upper
step of the companion-way with safety. twas
sublime, but an awful spectacle, The ocean
still labored under the effects of the hurricane.
The wind veered 90 points in So hours; it is
impossible to imagine or describe the wild and
tangled confusion of the waves. Rising TO a
height apparently greater than that l'the main
mast, they eaped and roared around the ship,
as ifhungry and maddened at the loss of their
prey. At times the Great Western seemed as
if lowered by unseen spirits into her wateGy
grave; and every moment you expected it to be
filled i'll, and her requiem sung by the winds
amidst the wilderness of waves.
But our danger was past, and with grateful
hearts on Tuesday morning, all assembled in
the cabin to render an act of common prayer
and thanksgiving.
Rev. Dr. Smoker read psalm and made
some appropriate Introductory remarks, and
Rev. Dr.. Beecher addressed the passengers at
length and with much force on the mercy we
had experienced, and prayer was offered.

DREADFUL AFFAIR AT Murder
by Il BaLtimorean-.4rre8t Of the Murderer, On
Sunday night, at Cincinnati young man
named Edward Byington, an engineer of one
of the Louisville mail boats, was killed in an
ARRAY with another young man named Church,
tailor by trade, and native of Baltimore -
The Times of Monday says:
Church, with two or three companions, was
passing the corner, when Byinglon, purposely
or accidentally, ran against him. Church, who
was somewhat intoxicated, demanded why he
did 50, stating that he allowed no man to run
against him; to which Byington gave a rough
answer. One word brought on another, and
they we're about coming to blows when they
were separated by their friends, who endeavor-
ed to persuade them to part and end the diff
Guilty. AS Church was about leaving, he used
q provocative expression towards Byington,
when he (Byngton) attacked him with cane,
which broke with the first blow. They then
came together, when Church drew knife and
stabbed his opponent several times. He then
started down Third street, in order to make his
escape-Bymgton pursued him about hall a
square, when he fell, and in a few minutes eX-
pred. Church was pursued by others to Wal
nut street, where they lost sight ofhim,
Church was arrested this morning, as he was
about going to work, and was lodged in jail 10
await an examination before the Mayor.
He has a mother living in Baltimore. The
knife with which the dreadful deed was done,
was large, neatly finished Bowie knife; it
was found in the street yesterday morning.
This is truly dreadful affair-a cold booded
murder. Byington was an inohonsive man,
and we'll known on the river and in this city
where he was IA scd.
The Herald gives the following as the origin
of the alftay:
The murdered man, whose name was Ed
ward Byington, with friend, was going from
the ST. Charles Exchange along Third street.
When they came to Main street they met Sc
veral Baltmoreans, among whom was a man
by the name Of Church. When they met,
some one from the latter company called out
to clear the path for Baltimoreans, and bragg
ging that they could whip any Buckeye. By
ington expressed a willingness to try strength
with them, as he was a Buckeye. An en-
counter ensued, and Byngtou seized a small
cane which belonged TO his friend, and was a.
bout to use it when Church stepped up with a
drawn knife and stabbed him twice, once in the
side, and once in the stomach. Byington, af-
ter he was stabbed, chased his opponents across
the street where he fell
The Atlas states that when Church was ar
rested he was about to give himself up, alleg-
ing that he acted in self-defence.

FIRE AT CUMBERLAND. The Cumberland
Civilian says, that fire broke out in the block
of buildings on Baltimore street, known as Nc
Cleary's row, about O'Clock on Tuesday even
ing last, which was very near consuming the
whole row. The fire companies succeeded in
extnguishing the flames, however, before it had
time to spread. Almost the entire upper story
of Messfs. Sullivan, Mcneil, Ainsworth and
Hayden's houses were burnt off. We are glad
to know, that they succeeded in getting their
property out of the houses with bat compare
lively little loss.

SANTA ANNA-HiS Desire for Peace. The
New Orleans Bulletin has a letter from Vera
Cruz, dated August LIST. The Bulletin says:
The writer thinks Santa Anna is disposed to
come to terms with the United States, but con-
Slderlng the inveterate feeling ofhostilty which
exists among The mass of the Mexican popula-
ton, or ''the lower class as our correspondent
terms them, he believes it will be impossible to
bring about peace, by any other means bat
good, hard knocks" He says this class are
all IN favor Of a prosecution of the war, al
though every thing ia the country indicates
weakness, "The clergy plead poverty" he
says, merchants have nothing to do but talk
politics, numbers of houses both here and in the
city OF Mexico have failed, clerks are all idle,
and the suficrngs among the lower and MIDI
ling classes are very great, but notwithstand-
ing all this they insist upon the war being car
RED ON, and preparations are making on a large
scale to do sou Concerning the Presidents
proposition to enter into negotiations, he says:
the people here do not seem prepared for such
Il result and the President might as well have
sent so mach blank paper"
Speaking Of Santa Annas arrival at Vera
Cruz, he says, che was particularly cool with
foreigners, and as thought especially sowith
the English" This GOODNESS so marked to-
wards the English residents, our correspondent
is OF opinion, was caused by the belief on the
part OF Santa Anna, that they had mcdded too
much with the affairs of the country.
HE Conn TRADE AND THE ENGLISH News.
The news, says the New York Express, is very
favorable, and the advance in England greater
than we have had occasion to notice in long
time. A letter from the highest authority, da-
ted Liverpool, Sept. lIth, says
The flour market has advanced materially
since the sailing of the Cambria; and though
there has been less doing, yesterday some thou
sand barrels changed hands at 27a2Ss. in bond,
and 30a3ls. duty paid. The best white Indian
corn is held at 43a44s for $50 lbs, but there is
now pause" THE price of flour at Liver
pool, on the Sd Of September, was 23a24s. in
bond, and 36a38s for $50 lbs corn.
The position ofthe crops may be thus stated:
The wheat crop is an average one in amount,
and the grain is fully as heavy, fnot above the
average weight, while the coarser grains and
pulse are much damaged and the potato crop
a failure.
Tho present prices in Liverpool do not war
rant the purchase of -four for shipment at any
thing above the rates of yesterday-that is
s. 30. Prices over this, it will be seen by cal
culation, must be returned to the American
buyer by further rise in England.
