MoRE SoRRow AND Wharf.-The landing at
New York OF the passengers by the ship Garrick,
numbering three hundred and sixty, is described
as most distressing. One ofthe passengers states
that twelve died upon the passage and one young
woman, aged seventeen years, died from exposure
and probably previous exhaustion, after she was
taken on board the steamboat. Several of the
young children were thinly and miseraoy clad,
without stockings shoes, and the feet were bad
ly frost bitten. The citizens around Whitehall
evinced much commisseration for them, and sat
about supplying their necessities with credtabe
prompttude.

From SANTA FE.- Suspicion Of Poisoning The
tains the following extract OF letter from Santa
Fe. The St. Louis Reveille places no reliance
whatever on the runlor. 1t says: We place
no reliance Whatever on the rnmor. a city has
neveryet been occupied by an invading force with
out similar Pancs being spread. a strange eli
mate, confinement, and lack of usual comforts,
we think, will sufficiently account for any illness
which may prevail.
There is a rumor in the city to-day that the
Spaniards have poisoned the flour and meal used
by the army, which is said to be the cause of so
many deaths. The poison consists of some vege-
table substance, with not enough strength in it to
produce instant death, but just enough to derange
the digestive organs, and prevent medicine from
operating on the system II the runor should
prove true, it will be difficult to prevent acts of
violence. If true the wretches must die

LOST HIS MoNEY.-We understand that a
wealthy young man from Virginia, about 81 years
fortune in The shape of $4,000, cash, lost it all
a few nights since at gaming table. He was
on his road to New York, with the intention of
investing this money in Il commercial house Of
which he had become partner, when he acct
deptally fell among the "Phistines," who allow
cd him to coin 81 800 the first night as bait,
and the next night they heeced him out or his last
dime of the $4,000. Bought wit is said TO be
very good, but we ''rather calculate" this is a
pretty good price to pay for it.-Bah Clipper.
