NJ Smith, Esq, as principal We have now
before us System Of Geography for the use OF

by Mcssrs. Grigg & Elliott Of Philadelphia
The authors object seems 10 have been 10 write
an useful Grammar of Geography, and not
mere reading-book, as is the case with most geo.
graphies now in use. That he has succeeded is
the opinion Of several competent Judges, and
among them Benjamin Halowell, The Distinguish.

II has always been a source OF modification 10
yirsinans, that, with but few exceptions, they
should be so dependent upon The North tor every
scboo-book in USE Now, that we have here a
work Of merit, prepared by'a Virginian, we
should extend 10 it the favor il deserves.
The peculiar merits OF The book seem 10 be
Isl. The author has selected what II il necessary
for the student TO learn or mem0r-e, and has stated
il concisely, without any mere rhetorical ouIIsh-
es. and has excluded minute details, when pro-
perly belong 10 Gazeiteers. II is, therefore,
manual OF grammar of Geography.
81. The geographical descriptions are fuller
Than those OF the books now in use, and, though
embracing more subjects, occupy only one 'h'rd
or one fourth the space.
Sd. The objects described are so classed, and
the names in each class SO arranged, as TO give
their absolute situation, al the same Time that Inc
mere succession of names is made TO indicate
their relative situation. This is valuable i'm
provement.

THE LATE STORM.-The gale of last
week was more disastrous in its effects than was
at first supposed. A number of vessels in distress
were reported of the Capes by the Norfolk pilots;
and upon a representation of the fact TO Commo-
dore Wilkinson in command at the Navy Yard,
he Immediately despatched The U. S. steamer En-
lerprise 10 their relief.
A correspondent OF the Norfolk Herald (who
Was in the gale on board The Isaac Mead) under
date Of Old Point, September 18th, says:
at is impossible 10 form any idea or estimate of
the immense loss OF life and property. We haz-
ard little in saying that no vessel out at the time
has escaped without serious damage, while ma
ny have gone entirely 10 pieces, and hundreds,
and perhaps thousands OF lives lost. Two long
boaIs, nnumerabe pieces Of ship timber, barrels,
and other portions OF cargo, and one wreck Of
vessel, men seen floating past us al various times
during the gale; all of which bear testimony 10
the assertion venured above. The writer has
seen Is OF 20 vessels making into port since the
Storm, and not one OF them but has sustained
heavy loss and damage in some part. The Isaac
Mead," Captain Pickins, Iosi all her sails (Which
were closely turIed) OF Cape Halteras on Tues
day morning, in eight falhoms water, and al The
time when The tempest was driving her with ter
rble speed upon The breakers. The wind al this
moment changed, and drfed US away towards
The Northwest She lost her bowsprit, foremost,
and suffered considerably in various places by
coming in contact with the schooner Imperial,
Captain Reid from Philadelphia, bound TO
Charleston. The schooner was run down, but il
affords US much pleasure 10 state that all her
crew were saved. One poor sailor had both legs
badly broken, and was, when we left the vessel
this morning, expected 10 die in a few hours.
TO prevent any imputalions upon officers OF
other vessels, We take occasion 10 say that no hu-
man skill or foresight could have prevented the
accident The darkness Of The night, The violence
OF the waves and wind /; and the helpless condi-
ton OF both vessels prevented any thing like fur
ther effort than was used. All hands were on
deck, and every possible means used to arrest the
calamity. We learn that the schooner's cargo
was worth $4,000. and the schooner about
$4,000.
"Since writing the above, | have seen gentle
man who reports the wreck of the schr. Walter
r. Jones, from up James river Tor New York
all on board saved, with The exception OF The MAZE,
who was washed overheard before the wreck
Another gentleman reports oar vessels lost,

The New York Tribune of Monday says, "The
movement of produce forward TO foreign ports is
going on very actively, and nearly every descrir-
ton is improving in prices. In This category are
Hour wheat, corn, rye, oats, pork, beef lard, ashes
picked meats. meal, rye Hour, lead, &c. The
improvement in flour from The lowest poin,
is nearly IS cents; corn Is 10 II cents wheat
5 to 10 cents. BY reference TO our daily
market reports, il will be seen that the pur-
chases of Flour and Grain have been very
large since the last steamship gave fresh i'm
peius TO shipments, and that shippers have been
able TO pay much better prices. Within three
days not less than 100 900 bushels Wheat, Corn,
