THRILLING SCENE AT CAPE MAYA Mr.. Wal
ton, of Philadelphia came very near being drowned
at Cape Island. He had ventured too far into the
surf and it appearing to be impossible for him to
regain the beach, Mr.. Germor, of the firm of Nc
Clees e. Germon of Philadelphia, proceeded to his
rescue-but soon became exhausted in his humane
attempts to save him. He retained his presence of
mind and spoke encouragingIy to Mr.. Walton, and
in a few minutes after both were rescued by the
life-boat that put out to their assistance. There
were about three hundred batheTs in the surf at
the time, and the excitement which prevailed
among them was intense

The RehaIlinn.

Our latest news from Ireland is much more en-
couragng than the first reports received by the
Cambria We had indeed suspected that the first
events of the instruction would be misrepresented
by the British Journals, and our expectations are
realized The patriot papers having been sup
pressed we have only two ways of getting in
formation from Ireland the first is through the
British papers, and the other by private accounts.
But we advise our readers to give no credit TO
English versions of Irish affairs; they cannot be
true, for were the truth spoken, the government
would fall. 1t is the policy of the cabinet to sneer
at the demonstrations of the conederates, and Tory
sophstry well knows how to torture defeat into a
victory The system of depreciation of Irish cou-
rage and contempt of Irish grievances has been so
steadily adhered TO, that many very well-meaning
persons in our country have really come to en-
terrain the notion that the Irish are well enough
fed and ought 10 be contented, and that they are
nothing more than set of cOwardly, Boosting brag-
CARTS who would from the first sight of Brit
ish bayonet. They will find themselves mistaken.
The British Government may discover when it Is
too late that English troops not invincible, and
that others than they may have hearts to dare, and
arms to strike.
In pursuance of their usual plan, the English pa
pers represented the revolt which has broken out in
Ireland nothing more than partial eleute, which
was quickly repressed by the efforts of the cOnstab
ulary force. Private advices on the contrary inform
us that there has been a bloody contest, in which
the people had been victorious-that two of the
principal cities of the Island had fallen into their
hands, and that 'royalist general had been slain
A short time will determine which of these conflict
ing accounts is nearest the truth. For our own
part we are inclined to credit the story of the peo
pie We believe that they have been victorious in
their first encounters with the troops, and this be-
lief makes our heart throb with hope for their ult
mate success.
1t is now incumbent upon every friend of Ireland
to contribute to the cause whatever he can give
whether it be money or sympathy. We say to all
who wish well to the cause, and who hate the
tyranny of England-organize organize hold
meetings, agate, do everything that may be of SER
vice, strain every nerve, exert every power for the
time has come when Ireland needs your aid.

We have received official information of the capitula

render OF this city took place the 2ith of November
last when Col Andrade entered the town the head of
