LATE FROM MoNTEvIDEo-The Pardna Er-
pedition. The barque Creole, Capt Norris, ar
rived at this port on Thursday night, from Cor
rentes, via Montevideo, with later and inte-
resting intelligence. We find the following
letter in the Patriot, dated Montevideo, June
l4th.
have a few remarks to make about the Ri
yer Parana's Expedition.
On the 4th ult., at O'Clock in the morning,
the feet weighed anchor about three miles
above the Barancas of St. Lorenzo, in the rV-
Ell Parana, where there were placed 25 pieces
of cannon, belonging to Buenos Ayres, to stop
the expedition from passing. At half past nine
O'Clock the fort opened fire on the five steam
ers, the English steamers Gorgon, Firebrand,
and Electer, the French steamers Gacende and
Fulton, which took their position abreast ofthe
batteries, whilst the English brig of war Dol
phin lead the van of the merchant vessels, a.
mounting to 100 sail. From the time the Dol
phin passed. being the first vessel, at half past
10, and the time the last vessel of the convoy
passed, after sun-doWn, make seven hours and
half firing. 1t appears very singular that such
a large fleet of vessels, in passing so many pie
ces Of cannon and within musket shot of the
infantry, Whlch playeu lDelr part, lnat not
man was either killed OF wounded among the
merchant vessels; and still more strange, that
no accident should have happened, of either
killed or wounded, on board of any of the ves-
sells of war, amounting to twelve sail, especial
ly the five steamers, which were under the fire
from the batteries eight hours. The only acci
dent that happened was four vessels getting on
shore abreast of the batteries, which the Eng
lish and French naval commanders set on fire
to keep them from falling into Rosas' hands
one being the English barque Caledonia, of
Hull, the other three being schooners from CO.
vouentes; their cargoes consisted Of amber,
hides, wool, yerba and tobacco.
There are as yet, but few of the convoy
arrived at Montevideo-only the large vessels
the weather being bosterous, all the smaller
vessels were lying at the Island of Martin Gar
cia.
There is not such a large quantity of hides
come down as was expected, but there is lar
ger quantity of yerba, tobacco and wool. Salt
hides, none; small quantity of tallow, packed
beef, one cargo horse hair, great deal of tim
ber, sc.

run out to distance of from nine TO thirteen
miles from the shore, and are about thirty-four
miles east of this harbor. They are concealed
from view at high water, and the sea generally
makes n complete breach over them. They
have been the scene of many heart-rending dis
asters, and our escape may therefore be consld-
cred altogether providential. Had there been
a heavy sea, our fate would have been sealed.
We were driven on three times: first the bows
struck, and after severe exertions in changing
the cargo and removing every thing TO the
stern, we got off, but only to get on again
astern. Again we changed the cargo, and then
we struck amdshiPs. Many of us were panied
by the immediate overhauling of the ship as
soon as she got into port yesterday, (the Sab
bath) but the repairs were considered work
of necessity, in order to get her off to-day,
when she sailed about sunrise. Many of us
have remained, although the Surveyors at this
port decided that the repairs had made the
ship entirely sea worthy. l hope she will ar

In the year of 1920 society was orgaplzcd
in this city, called the "MARYLAND EcoEoMI-
CAL ASSOCIATIONS" for the encouragement Of
american .Man1Jactures. Alexander Mckim
was chosen President; Isaac Burneston, Trea-
surer, and Leonard Matthews, Secretary. The
members OF the society were very numerous,
and had the names of UaSt number of our
most intelligent and opulent citizens, and the
influence it had upon the community was deci-
ded and great, One of the articles required the
members to encourage the use Of American
manufactures in preference to foreign fabrics;
the consequence was, all our retail stores, one
after another, kept american made goods for
sale, which was not the case until this society
was established. This, in my Judgment, would
be proper time to revive this society, or a sim
liar one. The good effects would be visible in
a very short time, as it would give firmness
and strength to those engaged in manufactur-
ing, and be the blessed means Of keeping en-
ployed many persons that must lose their daily
support, should our manufacturers be obliged
to stop their works. 1t occurs to me, that by
giving support TO American manufactures,
thousands upon thousands, females, will be COM
fortably supported by their own industry, and
our specie will be kept from going out of the
country to pay for articles which we can make
at home of an equal, if not of better quality.
Let the voice then 90 forth, that American in-
dustry shall be encouraged and protected, in
defiance of the "British Tariff biH," just passed
by Congress. If this hasty suggestion should
be favorably received it is hoped no time will
be lost in calling a meeting and organizing a
society. The writer of this took an actiue part
in bringing into existence the society of 1920,
and is now willing to lend helping hand to
establish similar one in 1876 w.

AN EXTRAORDINARY LUsUs NATURE. We
are assured upon the most respectable and re-
liable authority, that very extraordinary and
interesting case to the medical faculty has oc-
Cured at Little York, in this State. The head
of a fptus, furnished with hair and teeth, has
protruded itself through the side of little girl,
only eight years old! 1t is supposed that the
tGtus must have been absorbed into the system
of the child in the womb, and to have grown
with her growth until Nature has taken these
means of relieving her of the burthen. This
explanation, though attended with many diff
culties, which will be readily understood by
those acquainted with such subjects, seems to
be the only rational one that can be given in
the case. The information came to gentle
man in this city in letter from an acoual-
tance in Little York. The case is of the most
extraordinary character.-Philad. paper

SHIP SUsQUEHANNA AND THE TARIFF. The

RICH COUNTRY. The Randolph, North
Carolina, Herald, says: eight or ten gold
mines are now successfully worked in this coun-
ty. Some of these have been worked for more
than twelve months, and have been a source of
considerable profit TO their owners. Others
have been recently discovered, and give very
flattering prospects. Many of our farmers have
turned their attention to the business, and are
making very fair profits We are of the opin-
ion that this country will, ere long, become a
rich region. Gold can be found in small par
ticles in four-6fths of the small streams, and
we have no doubt, will be found to exist in
abundance in veins that have not yet been dis
covered. Few, that have embarked in the
business, have suffered much loss.

THE FRIGATE UNITED STATES. This yes.

great harmony prevailed in the ship. On the

that a plenty of sun and heat may abate the

NAVAL BOARD AT WASHINGTON. The Wash

says:
"The true object of the assemblage of the
Board of Naval Commanders, was to consult
about the subject Of rank in the Navy. Itap-
pears that there is a great deal of dissatsrac-
ton manifested against Mr.. Bancroft for his
favoritism in the Navy. | understand that
Commodore Stockton is quite in a rage against
him. He was sent to the Pacific with sealed
orders, under the supposition (and with every
preparatory that he was to take command of
the Pacific squadron. When the orders were
opened, he found himself compelled to report
to Commodore Slath. He breathes vengeance
against George Bancroft.

Anna and Almonte are still there, as are also
the two Mexican steamers. The arrival of
American vessels has very much diminished
during the last month, while that of the Eng
lish has increased. The island was generally
healthy, considering the season; but business
was not very brisk. the receipts at the custom
house during the month of June were about
100000. The U. S. schooner Petrol, Com
mander Shaw, touched at Havana on the 18th,
and sailed on the 18th for the coast of Mexico.

THE ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER HIBERNIA
A correspondent Of the New York Sun, writ
ing from Halifax, gives the subjoined account
of the recent accident to the steamer Hiberna;
and the provdential escape of her passengers
from watery grave:
You will be astonished to hear from US at
this date from Halifax, but when you learn
that we have been in the very jaws of death,
YOUR astonshment will give way to thanksgiv-
Ing to mercful providence for his preserving
care. After we left Boston on Thursday we
got into the thick fogs which hang over this
coast, and during Friday and Saturday we had
literally to feel our way through the darkness,
without the ability TO make harbor IN any di-
rection. 1t was all guess work, and the stout
est among us gave way to evil toreoodings,
which were painfully realized on Saturday al
ternoon, by the vessel striking hard and last up
on the rocks far out from land, with the ocean
waves dashing around us, and threatening in
slant DEATH will not attemptto describe the
scene which followed, or speak of the agonlz,,
ing fears which threw parents and children and
friends into each others embraces to bid fare-
we'll to the things of this word, and to make
their peace with God. Oh! what scene!-
How like the descriptions of the last day
There appeared to be no END to the difficult
ties, for as soon as we got off one rock we were
upon. another, and made this port, though in g
leaking condition. We all united in offering
thanks to God for His protecting care by which
one hundred and sixty souls were rescued from
awatery grave. The rocks upon which we
struck are called the Jeddore Ledges. They

[For the Baltimore Clinner,l


A HOUSE OF REFUGE" You brought me 10
thiS," was the ejaculation of poor, young,
wretched and deluded creature, as two young
men had hold Of her, about nine o'clock, on
Wednesday night, in the alley that runs from
Front to High streets, endeayoring to get her
home, Cfa home she had y she appearing some
what under the influence Of drink, though she
looked as if she had seen better days; and to
sthe her noise and keep from attracting Il
crowd, they would occasionally choke her; still,
on recovering her breath, she would cry out
"you brought me to this" From the pltful,
plaintve and subdued tone of her voice,
thought to myself if this poor creature, who
perhaps has been we'll educated and tenderly
raised, had an lum to flee to, to recover her
lost reputation and character, she, with hun
dreds of others similarly situated, would resort
to it as "Sanctuary" to enable them to re-
cover from the vice and infamy they have been
plunged into by the villany and rascality of
heartless men. But, alas! there is no such
House of Refuge in Baltimore for this unfor-
tunate class of beings, many ofwhom, no doubt,
pant for the opportunity of leaving their haunts
of vice and debauchery. Ye ministers of the
Gospel; ye meeting going, and ye church going
people, what exertions have you made in be-
half of these unfortunate creatures? Here is
an ample field for your useful labors, for many
of them have been so educated and raised as
moral impressions could be made, ifopportunity
wa offered, that would lead to permanent re-
formation. HOWARD.
