VA correspondent of the New York
Tribune furnishes the following incident
of the wreck Of tho steamer Empire:
AFTER the Empire was struck. and
while sinking. two mothers snatched what
they supposed to be their own infants, and
rushed upon deck, and in their fright
threw themselves into the water. Ono
of the devoted parents held the child to
her bosom. and both were saved; while
the other sustained hers until it breathed
its last, yet still holding on TO the body
until she was rescued. The surprise of
the mother may be imagined when they
discovered that in the confusion attend.
ing their escape they had each taken the
Others child. And while the poor wo-
man who had supposed that her little one
was lost pressed to her bosom her own
babe, the other was frantic with grief to
fnd too lato that she had preserved ano-
theirs child and lost her own"

THE FUTURE.


Years are coming-speed them onward -
When the sword shall gather rust,
And the helmet, lance and falchion,
Sleep in silent dust.
Earth has heard too long Of battle,
Heard the trumpet's voice too lOug.
But another age advances
Seers foretolG in song.
In the Past, the age of iron,
Those who slaughtering met their kind,
Have ton often won the chaplet
Honor's hand has twined.
But the Heroes ofthe Future,
Shall be men whose hearts are strong
Men whose words and acts shall only
War agains. the Wrong.
But the sabre, in their contests.
Shall no part, no honor own.
Wars dread art shall be forgotten,
Carnage all unknown.
Years are coming, when forever
Wars dread banner shall be Hurled,
And the Angel, Peace, be welcomed
Regent of the world.
Hail with song that glorious era,
When the sword shall gather rust,
And the helmet, lance and falchion,
Sleep in silent dust.

ed by considering the profession of arms
in its relation to the moral law, it seems
not soldierly to avoid them, or 90 round

Of those great commandments, without

that we should love our neighbor as OUT

within the true scope and meaning Of
this commandment, the border Samari-
tan, however despised, or however despi-
cable he may be, is our neighbor-upon
these points nothing was said. This may
have been accidental, but we deem it an

highest obligations of Christian people,
to support any institution which cannot
bear exposure to the clearest and direct

elf what Lord Wellington is reported
to have said in the British House of Lords

eight Of whom had military titles.
In the Academic Hall, where the ex-
animation was conducted, we observed
several flags taken in our war with Mex

Extraordinary Case Of Religious
ImDOSitiOA.

A large number of the Protestants il
the neighborhood of Wednesday,, Oar
laston. and other places around Biz
mingham, have been imposed on by 4
man who pretended to have escaped
from a hong confinement in the monas-
terry of st. Bernard, in Leicestershire.-
About the second week in April this per-
son arrived in Wednesday,, and took re-
fuge with Mr.. Petty, Methodist min
lister, who afforded h m food and shelter
His story spread rapidly, and after some
time he was prevailed on to write mar
rative of his sufferings, which was pub.
lished in the Protestant Watchman, un-
der the title of "Six Years Captivity
and Sufferings among the monks OF st.
Bernard. Charnwood Forest" and was
circulated in thousands. This story, af-
ter giving q plausible account Of the wri-
ter's birth, asserts that he was taken to
the monastery at fourteen years Of age.
and forcibly constrained to take the dress
of the order, 30 be baptized, and to as
sumo the name of st. Cecil. He told
wonderful stories Of the mysterious dis
appearance Of other brethren of the or
der, and Of the severe punishment inflic-
ted on himself for the most trivial breach
of disipline Awful summonings and tri-
ais before the midnight tribunal, with
solitary confinement, on one meal of bread
and water day, attest the skilfulness
with which the artistic part Of the mar
rative was worked up.
At length, on the 9Th Of April, Mr..
Jefreys, (for that he said was his name, }
according to his narrative made his es-
cape with imminent danger. and threw
himself on the protection of the Protes-
tants of Wednesday,. Ia an appendix
to this narrative were affidaMts from two
persons. to the effect that they had seen
St. Cecil at the monastery, and now re-
cognized his identity; also testimonials
from Mr.. Raag and Mr.. w. 8. Nayler,
that they had seen, upon the body of
st. Cecil. marks Of severe punishment
and shocking cruelty. For about six
weeks Brother Jelfreys was toasted,

From Bo,oen's North American Farmer, Sd inst.
The Money Market, which was decidedly tight
few days since, has at length become somewha,
easier, and in New York, we learn that loans may
be negotiated at 6 per cent. on Treasury notes at
call while it was anticipated that the Banks, be-
ing partially relieved ofthe pressing demands upon
them for specie, would soon discount with more
liberality. We perceive that commencement,
of the Spring Trade is already imparting ANNA
tion and activity to the commercial emporium
In Philadelphia, money out Of doors commands
from 9 to 10 per cent. on good paper-the Banks
just now not being particularly liberal-but the
truth is, business paper has of late been rather
scarce, though considerable amounts, the product
of the nascent and coming trade, will shortly be
in the market Very little specie has been remit
ted to Europe for some time past, but it should
not be overlooked, that the drain for California is
considerable. Up to this date, the gold fever has
proved vast expense, especially to the cities,
while the receipts of the yellow dust have been
but trifling Stocks are. rather inactive, though
since Friday last, when the foreign news by the
Europa was received, they have been more BUOY
anti especially in shares and script of national pr
otherwise of high character. The Niagara, which
sailed on Wednesday last, took out large amourN
of United States stocks for market in London and
as remttances for the ful6ment of orders. The
demand for sterling exchange was limited, and the
quotations low-say l07 to l0S. The intelligence
brought by the Europa is of highly cheering
complexion, except as regards breadstuffs, which
are rather dull. The great manufacturing towns
in England are busy-cotton is active and prices
are we'll maintained-stocks have improved, and
money is abundant at very low rates.
