Wreck Of The Henry Olay-Dreadf,l Loss Of Life.
BUFFALO, October 27.-The propeller Henry
Clay before reported wrecked at Long Point, Can
ada, had thirty souls board. While the wreck
lying side up in the trough of the sea- the pas
sengers and crew ashed themselves to the rigging.
Shortly after the deck went OIL, and the hull then
turned over, carrying down all except David Keeie
and nine Others who succeeded in getting u
part of the wreck, but OF these eight were washed
off before morning; the other two held on until
o'clock on Friday morning, the wind and sea both
continuing high.
The brig John Martin then hove in sight, and
bearing down to the wreck, threw out ropes.
Keefe succeeded in catching one of these, and was
dragged about quarter OF a mile holding on TO
the rope with his hands-before be was rescued.
The other of the two, Capt Caard, formerly of the
Texas navy and the inventor of the sig nal Ian
terms, failed to get on board the brig, and was
drowned.

BosToN, October 27.-The brig Bramn, with
Buenos Ayres dates to the 9th of September, ar

the Buenos Ayreans had lost six thousand horses,

The Banda Oriental question seems to have been
settled. Oribe requested the French admiral to
take the Argentine troops on board, but he per
emptorily refused The Oriental troops finally de-
serted, and the Argentines refused to fight. Oribc
was consequently driven to the last extremity, and
the French and English refused to interfere
1t was feared at Buenos Ayres that that port
would be blockaded, the Brazilian Admiral
Gaines, whilst going up Parena river, in the
steamer Alfonso, fired into by the fort and dis

1.-THE Old Man,

No expression that we are acquaint-
ed with CRATES SO harshly on cur ear as
that Of " The old man." when it comes
from the lips of a son speaking Of his
father. The person who habitualiy
uses the expression, is either intimate
with low characters or he does not feel
that respect and Difference due from
son to parent. In excuse it is said,
tits but joke and means nothing. IL
so, it were better not to jest on such a
subject, and use some expression that
does mean something.
aOld man." is used as term of re-
proach, a sort of by-word, and buga-
boo to scare bad children, and in the
manner used expresses sort Of con-
tempt, or don't care.
There are several stages to be gone
through before the old man is brought
on. Pa, papa, and father have had
their day. As the young swell lazily
rolls his cigar rquid Of tobacco in the
corner Of his mouth, and strokes his
goose down chin, and replies with a
curl Of the lip. to the gentleman BY
whom he is interrogated-" That's no
body but the old man."
Young chaps that frequent oyster Gel
lars, beer saloons, and fashionable wine-
shops, who can smoke a "regalia," or
/ chew .ladies' twist" without making
them sick, or walk crack with three
glasses Of champagne-these are the
spries who talk Of !" the old man." who
don't know they're out.
|, We have also heard these same cha
racters speak of their mothers as the
t g old woman 7" True, it is no heinou.
: offence, yet it shows as plainly as an,
: other swagger, what company they hav
5 kept, and the estimates they place up
! on their parents love and care for )
many years.
