Painful Incidents The New York papers
are filled with painful incidents connected with
the loss of the Steamer Atlantic, We regret
to learn that Mr.. Robert Hope, of Baltimore,
is among those who found watery grave by
this sad calamity. Forty bodies have been re-
covered, and there are still FIVE more known TO
be lost. 1t appears, after all, that the dead
bodies were robbed by some wrctcles, bearing
the semblance of human beings. The CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer Tvs;
! 1t is now ascertained for a certainty, that
gold watches, wallets, and other articles Of
value, were taken from almost every body, and
if some escaped being pIIaged, the reason was,
that the dress and appearance did not promise
much booty TO the pluuderers
! The Rev DR.. Skinner, in his funeral ora
ton over the remains oflhe amented DR.. Arm
strong, expressly stated that nothing was left
on the body by which it could be identified, The
pockets were cut away and removed, with their
contents, His watch was likewise taken--n
fact every thing OF value The people on
Long Island owe il to their character to trace
out aud punish the wretches who in the midst
Of 40 much suffering aud woo, caused by he
hand OF Providence, let loose their base passion
for gain and an4ared to it by pIuuaering the
dead. ] his course 1t Is TO be hoped they VIII
adopt.

young VIE was at length converted to Il terri
bic certainty by the fatal news that ne had en-
parked on 'he Atlantic and was among the
dead, Still kind of unnatural hop led the
wteS heart uht'l yesterday, when letter
came to say that the boy OF her husband had
been found, and buried at Norwich. She be-
came tor time entirely insane: hut her cruel

spalr. Scarcely aware OF what she did, and
apparently TO getting even her child, she lett

from the earth and bring him with her, Alas!
the paiIid object OF such tender sollcItudo Is no
f more anything but frozen dust-caresscs and
tears cannot warm 1t back to life. 1t Is but an
icy monument which Death has carved to mock
her love.
