/ DaEADruL o cuRREnce AT RArnBuN's
HOTEL. -ATrEMPTED MATRIc! DE AND SUI
eide The inmates Of Rathbun's Hotel, in
broadway. were startled this morning by a
sncc sson Of loud screams ,sulng from the
chamber Of Mrs Rathbun, the wife Of the pro.
prlelor, and on entering the room she was
found lying on the floor, wetering in b'ood,
from severe wound in the throat, inflicted
with razor by her son, who was near the
spot, also bleeding profusely from a wound in
his own throat. The particulars, so far as we
could gather them, are as follows:
Loomis Rathbun, the attempted murderer,
is about 35 years Of age, and has for some
time past led most dssoute life, being drunk
the greater part of the iime and mixing with
low and abandoned characters all the efforts
of his friends to reclaim him proved Intellectual,
and his fa,her finding that reformation vas
hopeless, gave him up to his vicious courses,
permitting him to live at the hotel when he fc,
disposed; bu: little was seen of hm, as he
was out most ofthe day, and found his way to
his bed room at all hours of The night Fol
the past week he has been on drunken spree
and The dreadful act was doubtless perpetra.
ted while in state of dilirum tremens
About 6 o'clock, this morning, he appeared
at his mothers door, with razor in his hand
and saying, "Good bye, mother" drew The
instrument across his throat ,inficting wound
Of a severe, but not Of a serious charac' er-
His mother. in alarm, rushed to him and seiz-
ed his hand, when he turned furionsly upon
her, and exclaimed, 4" "D--n her, I'll kill
ker," and throwing her down upon the floor,
knelt upon her body and cut her throat almost
from ear TO ear. Her cries were heard by one
of the walters, who ran to the room and sue
ceeded in dragging the son off the body, and
secured him until assistance arrived. A eur
geon was Immediately summoned, who exam
ined and dressed the wounds that of the man
is not Of serious character, but great Tears
are entertained that Mrs Rathbnn will not re.
cover. and at the last accounts she was lying
in very low state.
The son. who is evidently insane, was prop
erly secured, and will Immediately be sent to
the Insane Asylum to await the action of the
authorities in the matter.-NeO York Mr.

TEMPEsTuous SuBLIMITY OF ORAro ~
Tie Boston Chronotype, in reporting the
speech of Mr.. Choate on the Philips viii
case, says:
The marvellous difference was manifest
IN moment, though Mr. Choate was very far
from coming up to that tempest of ora,ory
hich would have cen raised by stiff oppo-
siilon. Still he rose like an angry and well
br( wed thunder storm, and lightning flashes
and distant erumblings told US in a twinkling
that Jupiter ,onans was on hand We can
only family describe, not report such a
speech.
When he came TO the averment of the IN.
due influence of MIR. Quincy he said that he
could hardly trust himself to speak of its af
forgiveness and audaciousness. On this poin,
he was subimely dcclamatiory, and laid on,he
soft soap upon the venerable cx-President Of
Harvard and the old Philips stock, in a style
which would have deligh ed the highest ars.
tocracy on earth, and ha,,ered the very blood

ers tina. Bennett spit out some Of his slim C

that we knew the cause of his unfounded char.
ges, aud If he had anything more to say, Dr
desired TO have the public enlightened on the
subject, we would cheerlully. accommodate
HIM, as all the facts were in our possession
It. conclusion, we have only to say that
we have replied TO this false charge in the
Herald because some of Our contemporaries,
elsewhere, may be induced to believe that the
Herald is possessed Of some reliable informa-
tion on the subject, and therefore come 10 the
conclusion from what he says that /, season
at Newport, this year, is a total failure
so frankly, because we have no desire to de-
ceive people, or to make false representations
on the subject. But we intend 10 have the
facts correctly stated, and no one shall mis-
tate them, without contradiction from US.
But in order to substantate our assertions,
we will give few facts, and they are
stubborn things, although they have never
yet troubled the New York Herald, as its
power OF locomotion is so great, that it invl-
riably passes over them by a single stride
From the 10th to the 2lst Of July, last year,
there were 469 arrivals at the Hotels during
the same days this year, there have been SEQ
arrivals one Hotel was reported last year,
which is not this. There were 46 arrivals at
that house last year, during the days named,
and this year no report from it has been pub
lished, and its arrivals are consequently not
enumerated IN our estimate. Ii has however,
received about the same number that it did
last year, and consequently we show By fg-
ures, to the satisfaction of every honest man,
that the arrivals at the Hotels this year have
been about one hundred more than they were
during the corresponding week Of las, year.
Besides this, there are very many more, as
we have already stated, this year, at private
boarding houses than there were last year.
Now, we ask every candid person if we have
not clearly and indisputably proved the asser-
tions of the New York Herald to be absolute
ly false

a Prayer for the National Fast.
BY WM. II. CRAISTnNi

II BY VIM II. cRAHsToN,
Oh God Of heaven, our righteous Judge.
We bow before Thy Throne,
As suppiauts for thy promised grace,
Through Jesus Christ. the Son
We feel the burden of our sins,
The justice Of Thy wrath -
But Oh, in mercy, sparew snow,
\ From deaths surrounding path
The guilt of years we freely own.
The love Of SIN we yield,
So spare us from the curse we sought
Behind Thy Mercy's shield.
Stay Thou, Oh God, that dread disease,
Now sweeping DER the land
And give Thy white-wirged messenger
| Der us no such command.
Der every hill, in every vale,
The dead are sleeping now,
And sriefs own new-made signet rests
On tvery oher brow
Lhe old, the young, the innocent,
The loving and the loved
The Mother. virgin and the bride,
Oh God, Thou hast removed.
Heal Thou the broken hearts Of those
Who stand beside the dead,
And while they drop me bitter tear
Above the dear ones bed
Oh, hear their prayers, by sorrow bowed,
To Thy high Throne in heaven,
And raise them TO righteous life,
OF all their sins forgiven.
Spare us, the living, from Thy wrath,
And Oh, avert the doom
That hangs above our guilty heads
And hurls us to the. tomb.
Give us purer air TO breathe,
And keep our faith secure,
That when the closing scene mus, come,
We may its pangs endure.
Then, when the book Of life is close,
And our.. last breath is riven,
Bear Thou the wandering soul from ear.h
To Thine own peaceful heaven.
Oh, hear and grant the nations prayer,
Which now we humbly make;
And Thine shall be the praise fore'et
For Christ, the Saviour, sake.
