STEAMBOAT Collision on the Dclarare--
The steamer Ohio, with about hundred and fiG-
ty passengers on board, was runinto near Green
witch Point Landing, below Philadelphia, at
eight O'Clock, by the steamer Commodore Stock
ton. The Ohio sunk and her upper decks were
covered with water in twenty minutes. Terri
bic CONSERVATION prevailed Many swan ashore
and large number of ladies and children were
taken off by small boats. The CONSERVATION
was so great, the light being eXtngnishcd by
the water, that the extent of the accident could
rot be ascertaiacd. Two or three were drown
cd, and it is unprecedented that many others found
a watcry grave.
The Commodore Stockton was severely dam
aged but did not sink. The Ohio was complete
~ stove in. There were several BaltimOreans
and Phiadclphians were on board.
The steamer Ohio now lies on the Jersey
shore opposite Smiths Island in 10 feet water.
Boats are now engaged in taking off the turn-
tnre. A man raned Taylor has been found
dead, and it is feared two others are drowned.

We have received from friend a few copies
of this ably conducted Monthly, edited by JAS.
DAVENPORT WHELPLEY, New York City, From
what opportunity we have Lad of examining its
, contents we are admirably pleased with the
style of its literary department, and have no
doubt that its POLITICAL articles correctly reflect
the national tone and character of whig politics.
As an able exponent Of whig sentiments, and
at the same time, valuable literary and critical
Review, we commend it to the attention and
support of those thinking mon who call them
selves wings. And because it is called 1rhir.
let no one suppose it is filled with the common
place trash which is trump:ed forth from petty
country journals, from VIC to week, as the sonlv
sure guide" to correct theory of governmental
policy.
On the contrary, its readers are treated once a
month, it may be, to an article from some di>tin-
guishcd champion of the party, setting forth the
peculiar tcnets of the Rcview-or it may be an
interesting biography of some great man.
But the main body of the work. from month
to month, is filled with Interesting and valuable
miscellany, in the literary, critical, and tiogra-
phical vein which affords to the general rcadei
mass of information and qualification rarely OBJ
tanned in works of more cphemcral charac-
ter.
We lave received great deal of pleasure
and we hope some profit, in reading few of its
able compositions. We hope that those of our
friends who feel able, and have time for rcncc-
ton as we'll as reading, will avail themselves of
the same means.

tains one hundred Iagcs, with one or two SPLEEN

vcrtiscmcnt Of Mr.. Clark of Chicago in anoh-
