We learn by the Cleveland Plaindealer, that
the Lakes have been visited BY a terrible gale;
that five vessels were blown ashore near San
dusky Bay; that the new and splendid steamer
belonging to the 0gdensburgh Line ON Lake On
tano, had been duven ashore, near the. mouth
of the Genesee nver. and is reported a total
loss.
iThe steamer Oregon, on Lake Erie. while oil
Grand River, had her smoke pipes blown down,
and not daring to make port, she put out into the
Lake-when thirty miles out, she uHshipped her
rudder in surge, and was left to the sport Of the
winds and waves. Night came on, the wind in
creased, and the sea broke over her decks;
stoves, doors, furniture, and freight generally,
were tumbled to and fro with destructive force
and confusion. There were sixty passengers,
and all regarded their condition hopeless. Thus
passed the terrible night. In the morning they
found themselves off Cleveland, and the wind
subs,dlng, the mdder was shipped, 'stesm got
up and they came INTO port Al safety We
may expect adyices OF additional disasters.

The day Of the jubilee Of the federation Of

at COnstantinople by men Of all creeds.
They met together in a grand union meeting
As brothers; Armenians, Jews, Americans,
English, Germans; and together they sat down
10 the table Of the Lord. No division was there
then. No confusion Sr discOrd. One voice OF
Joy and thanks went up to the one God, in hymn,
and prayer, and speech, as If one heart only beat
responsive 10 His will.

rae RrI,T.h COTTON Trasr.

The following table Of the exports of Cotton
Yarn and Cotton Cloth from England, dunng
the year IS47, remarks the Providence Jour-
nal, will throw some light uPOn the future con-
sumption and price Of cotton. 1t will be seen
that nine-tenths Of the yarn, and more than
half Of the cloth were exported to the continent
of Europe and to India and China. These mar
kets ara almost wholly closed. The political
commissions in Europe have destroyed all bu-
siness, and the commercial commissions in the
East have destroyed all credit. II plain that
the production Of cotton goods In England must
fall off immensely. The effect which this will
have upon prices aud the manner in which the
effect of it may be- modified by other circum-
stances, our readers can Judge as well as we

The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun, of Monday, says:-"The Postmaster
General has succeeded this year in letting the
mail routes of the middle States at 100000 less
than the last year. This is saving Of one out
of seven hundred thousand dollars, or equal to
above Ia per cent. Several Railroad companies,
that have stood out, have come in on the terms
proposed by Mr.. Cave johnson, and the Depart
ment will go on perfectly smooth in a short
time. With these savings, the speedy intrOduc'
ton of the cheap uniform passage system is re-
duced TO a certainty.

The next thing we hear Of from Europe, as
the people become settled. will be the severance
Of Church and State. Neither the people OF
Great Britain, nor any other people in Europe,
out Of Russia, will submit to the imposition
much longer.

from this grievance. II was granted unani-
moasly and Immediately. Thus they have an
entire separation of Church and State; and Free

A rumOr having been circulated that the Of
flee Of the National Era was concerned, direct
ly or Indirectly, in the recent attempt Of a num-
Der Of slaves TO escape on the schooner Pearl, il
Is due 10 the respectable citizens Of this place,
and to myself, to give plain, full, unequivocel
Genial to the report. While determined TO yield
no right 10 menace or viOlence-s concession
which no true.hearted American will be ungen-
erous enough to demand--I feel il to be my du-
ty TO do all ! can TO remove serious misappre-
hension, calculated to provoke unpleasant ex-
element.
January 7th, Is47, in the first number Of the
National Era, made, in my Introductory, the
following declaration:
believing that the extinction Of slavery can
be effected In accordance with constitution
and law, and that this is the better way, no sys-
TEN of unconstitutional or illegal measures will
find in us a supporter. We cannot work with
contradictory means. Whenever convinced that
such measures as the laws sanction or prohibit,
are insufficient for the accomplishment of the
great object we aim at, we shall frankly say so.
The magnitude Of the cause in which we are en-
gagged justice TO our fellow. citizens Of the South
and sound policy, demand that no movement be
made in relation TO this important question, ex-
cept with the utmost oPenness, frankness, and
fair-dealing."
The declaration then made, embodied the
principles on which had always uniformly sc-
ted in relation to slavery; and in not single
instance have /, or any one in my Office, so far
as my knowledge extends, violatedit. Icannot,
consistently with my views Of what honesty and
fair dealing dictate, to say nothing Of sound poll
icy. engage, or in any way, directly or indirect
ly, take part In any movement which would in
volve the necessity Of any strategy or trickery
Of any kind.
