THRILLING ScENE-Two DRowKMo Bors
REscuEp.-About eight o'clock, on Sunday morn
ing, Michael Fitzpatrick, dyer, employed at one
of the factories at Manayunk, was bathing in the
canal basin, above the town, with two orphan
nephews, aged about seven and ton years, whom
he was suddenly attacked with cramp, and sunk.
Being most excellent swimmer he had taken his
nephews out into deep water for the purpose of
learning them to swim. The Oldest boy could
swim little, but upon seeing his uncle sink he
was paralyzed with terror, and, as well his
brother, were at the point Of perishing. At this
moment Joseph Foster, young man who was in
bathing, dashed out to the of the boys, hav
ing the presence of mind to push before him
plank that providentially happened to be in the
water. The daring young man, on reaching the
drowning boys, was seized by both of them, and it
was with the greatest difficulty that he prevented
himself from sinking. He finally succeeded in
getting the boys upon the plank, when the rest Of
his task was an easy one. The rescue was most
gallant deed, and reflects honor upon the actor in
it. The body of the unfortunate uncle was re-
covered about an hour afterwards.

EXTENSIVE FRAuD-SUccEssFuI SwrNDLE OF
MERCHANTS, TAILoRs, AND OTHERs.-Some time
in the latter part of April last, John Millikin, an
Englishman, recently from Canada, with two
companions, named r. M Chatterton and D. P.
Chatterton, came to Cincinnati with quite an ex-
tensve supply of fancy goods, toys, jewelry, &c.,
and created some sensation in the streets with the
stories of the large establishment they were about
to open in this city. 4#tgr
Subsequently the parties disposed of this stock,
and opened commission house to supply custo-
mers south and west. They took residences for
their families, had carriages and servants, and APP
parently were men of wealth. They bought
largely of groceries and other articles, which they
regularly shipped to customers. This went on for
some time, when the persons from whom they
bought presented their bills, and they were not
paid. Suspicious that all was not right gained
ground, and agent was sent to Louisville, where
he found one of the Catterton s. who there received
the goods shipped by his confederates in Cincin-
natl, and sold them at any price he could get for
cash. The parties have been arrested.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August Is, 1853.

WASHINGTON, u. o., August Is, 1853
Mr.. EDIroR: In an extract from the Courier
and Enquirer, copied into your paper of the Sd
instant, speaking of the improperly Of Commo-
dore Stringham s salute to Baron Bruck, the Aus
tran Envoy at Constantinople, it stated: "Which
Bruck is the same person ,cho ,oas guilty of the
grossest injustice to,cards .qerican Consul some
time back, tearing dozen his flag, &c."
1t is perfectly true that the American Consulate
at Constantinople was, in 1851, violated by .aus-
trian forces, led on by the subordinutes of the
American legation, during the absence of the
American Minister; and there is no doubt but,
while the honor of this Republic has been thus
trampled on, no unnecessary demonstration of
courtesy should have been shown by our naval
officers to the agents of Austria before suitable
redress had been obtained. At the same time JUS
tce requires that the shame and responsibility of
the act should bear individually upon those who
rendered themselves guilty of the offence and not
upon Baron Bruck, who at that time was not in
Constantinople. W
The unnatural combination of Austrians and
Americans, who organized and carried on this un-
precedented act of vandalic burglary, was COM
posed of Messrs. de KEEL, .Mihanouich, and Baron
Baum, Of the Austrian party; and John p. Broom
and III. "A. Homes, of the American. Brown was
the Dragoman Of the absent Minister and oficiall,
used the po,oers of the United States legation to
achieve the above act r

Distressing Casualty,

Letters were received in the city yesterday from
the Rio Grande, bringing the painful intelligence
of the death of our valued young fellow-towns-
man, Thomas Walter Jones, son of General Wal
ter Jones. He was attached to one of the sur
veying parties of the Mexican Boundary Com
mission, and was engaged in this duty on the
Lower Rio Grande when the sad accident hap
pened which suddenly closed his earthly career.
This lamented youth possessed every manly and
amiable quality, and the death of no one of his
age in our city would have been more deeply la
mented by the community or by so large and re-
spected family circle. The following letter from
MIR. Radziminski, chief of the party with which
MIR. Jones was employed, gives the particulars of
the affecting accident:
''It is my most painful duty to have to announce
to you that it has pleased the all-wise Providence
to terminate the days of my young friend and
assistant, Mr.. Thomas Walter Jones. He was
drowned this evening, on our return from the
survey, by the small boat upsetting in squall
''Afer the boat had almost filled, Mr.. Jones
handed me the instruments fer the purpose of Civ
ing his assistance to bail the water; but the at
tempt to bail was followed by the boat filling com
pletely, and sinking beyond our depth. Not know
ing how to swim, and feeling firm bottom unde
my foot, sprang up and came to the surface a
the same time with Jones, but he most unfortu
nately struck for the shore, distant about twent
yards; and |, by superhuman effort, succeeded
in reaching my fingers ends to the Mexican, VIII,
being astride on the capsized boat, pulled me OF
top of it. My poor, young friend sunk half-wa,
between us and the shore to rise no more, Will
few inches of space, and as many seconds o
time, saved me. '-Intclligencer Of yesterday
