GREAT SroRM-We learn by the New York
Herald of the 18th that on Sunday last great
storm occurred in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, destroying life and property in
various places. In New York City house,
called the emission Church. was blown down
by which one woman was killed, and man
and several children severely injured The en-
bankments of the various railroads running into
the City were washed away, that several of
the trains could not be run.
AT Newark, N. j., the rain washed the rail-
way so badly as to prevent the trains from run
ming regularly, and other damage was done to
a considerable extent in the city.
In Connecticut the storm was very severe
AT Derby four lives were lost by the food. The
lumber yard of the Derby Building Company
was wholly washed out and the lumber carried
away. The loss to the Company is from $50,
900 to $4,000 The trains due at New Haven
and Boston on the 18th did not arrive at the US

Again this man of tusiion remarks :

"John Tylers def, ction caused not greater

President Pierce with the Democrats. They
determined to administer to him a rebuke, and
they have done it in the result of the election in
New York. 1t is signal and emphatic one

an overwhelming defeat
New York, that one tx elvemon,h since gave
Gen Pierce majority Of over 10000, has re :
pudiated him now by the emendous majority
of from $4,000 to 100000
Whatever John Tyler's detection might have
caused, it is very evident from the result in the
recent state elections-Ncw York excepted
that the above statement is perversion OF tru h.
A reference to the resul, in Maryland, Ohio,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
New Jersey, win settle this question and put to
shame all this empty cla'noring about the I'M
popularity of the President.
Agcin the writer remarks, that the President,
who year since received over 10000 majority,
is repudiated by from SO, 900 to 100000 majority.
To shew the utter reckIessness of this state
ment, we have only to remark, that we have as
yet received but partial returns from that state !;
but such rs have been received, indicate simply
plurality of the wing ticket, over each of the

THE SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANK

Capt, Fordham, of the American whaling
barque Harriet Thompson recently arrived at
San Francisco, from the Attic regions, has
communicated to the Commercial Advertiser
of that city, the following interesting in
tclligence in regard to the search for Sir John
franklin:
Capt. Fordham thinks that all further search
for the Erebus and Terror is useless. On the
18th of August he saw one of the ships ofthe
searching expedition, supposed to be the Plover.
She was then in the Arctic Sea, between Prince
of Wales Head and the Diomede Islands. She
was bound north and would probably winter in
Plover Bay (named after herr which was her
place of refuge last winter Captain Fordham
exchanged signals with her, but the signals
were mutually misunderstood. At the time she
was seen, the sea was entirely clear Of ice,
though the dense fog, which had hung the
water for two months, still prevailed Another
ship belonging to the exploring expe-
dtion, was in the port Clarence on the l9;h of
July.
Capt. Fordham held conversations with the
Esqnimaux Indians at places where he landed
with his boats. So many expeditions have been
sent there during the last five years, that many
Of them could talk intelgibly on the subject Of
Sir John Franklin. Their arguments were such
as to discourage Ill further search for the missing
navigators.
twas thought by such whalemen as have
navigated these regions, that the Erebus Terror
were not crushed by any icebergs or field ice
but that they were capsized by being forced upon
the surface or partially submerged ice. 1t was
tie opinion that the exploring expedition could
not penetrate further this year than az deg. N.
The Arctic Sea has been usually clear of ice,
and n,uh hoo atfyaI mill
The mountains surrounding the Arctic Sea
showed but little snow at The time whaling

IMPROVEMENT OF THE RAPIDS.


We understand that no proposal has yet been
received by the w. S. Agents tor the removal oil
distractions for either of the Rapids OF the Mis-
sissippi.
The advertisement of Capt Barney, A ent
for the Improvement of the Rock Island Rapids,
was, to our certain knowledge, in the papers IN
all the princi pal towns along the river tom 81
LOUIS t, Dubuque, for the month preceding the
4th inst, to which time proposals for contract
for the whole, or any part of the work were IN
vied. The time for receiving proposals by
Major Floyd for the Desmoines Rapids will
expire on the Goth, yet we learn from good au-
thority that not one offer has been made, exc, pit
one informal one to Capt Barney, to remove
one rock 1bout eight feet square, for the reason
able sum of $3.50!
Is it possible that there is no one to be found
among those who have been clamorous and
| abusive to those who have had this business
under their direction, who has energy enough To
undertake the work now that it is prepared and
| offered for con'ract' Where now are those
valorous individuals who vauntlngly boasled

yet remain to be expended and the blasts o

would not pay we'll for them. We, with tn

The papers which have clamored longest an
toudest upon this subject, if we recollect righ
are the Burlington Telegraph and the Galen'
papers.
| But laying aside the efforts which thes' jour
nails have put forth to discredit the work, is i
not little remarkable, that, with the enterprise
| of Western men, not one can be found willing
| to venture bid upon this work. AS largely \
the people Of Galena are interested in the boa
business, we should suppose that some one il
that town could be found ready and anxious Il
forward this important enterprise. But perhaps
their conscientious scruples will not admit o
their becoming parties to system of pecula'iol
and squandering of the public treasure, which
they have declared exists in the management o
| this work and the disbursement of this fund.
