10 The following beautiful thought, from
Goethe, is peculiarly appropriate to the presen
season:
eThe year is going away like the sound OF
bells. The wind passes over the stubble, and
finds nothing to move. Only the red berries Of
that slender tree seem as if they would fain re-
mind us of something cheerful and the meas-t
ured beat of the thresher's fail calls up the
thought that in the dry and falling ear lies so
much nourishment and life.

From Mr. r. J. Jennings, who came passen-
ger on the FL. R. w. Hill, we learn the follow.
ing additional particulars in relation to the col.
ssion between that boat and the Western
World.
Of the number of persons lost, it was impos
sible to ascertain correctly, but is supposed TO
be from ten to flteen.-Only eight or nine are
known to be lost, consisting of a man, his wife
and child, a mother and two daughters, lady
and her infant, and deck hand, whose name
wo did not ascertain. Several Of the pa,e:el
gers came up on the II i'll, and, proceeded on one
Of whom was man who saved an infant child
and lost his wife anditwo daughters, another his

our informant, as one peculiarly distressing and
heart rending.
The Western World was principally owned
at ST. Louis, and partly by Capt. Alex. Norton,
her commander, and who was not on board, hav
ing returned to ST. Louis from here She was
freightcd with ! 800 or 400 barrels flour, in
the hold. large quantity Of corn and some 90
or 70 head of the cattle, all of which were

We, the undersigned passengers on the new

recent voyage from New Orleans to Nashville
take pleasure in recommending her and her OBJ
liging officers to the travelling public. We have
no hesitation in saying, she is as safe and com

We weuld further state, that the time of the
unfortunate collision with the steamer Western
World, every exertion was made by Capt.. New
ell and his crew, to save the boat and lives OF
those on board. And that he remained with
the wreck as long as he could render assiss
lance to any one and under the circumstances,
we think no blame should be attached to the II

to.
