Terrsbls Disaster ~ sea--29e a4ses Lels--
Dessrseiisa sr ship ~ Gun Pswas<.
Letters by the overland mail convey
intelligence Of the lamentable wreck Of
British ship, supposed 10 be the Lady
Evelyn. and q fearful sacrifice Of life.
She was q fine vessel, recently built,
748 tone burthen.
The catastrophe is reported TO have
occurred on the night Of the 90th July
on one Of the clusters Of islands known
as Typongson, in the Eastern OF OhinH
Sea. situate some IL miles West Of Loo
Cho. She quickly went to pieces, and
we regret to add that out-of ego souls
who were on board, including the crew,
only six European sailors and 90 China
men were saved.
A serious loss, that of the large
barque Princess Victoria, while on her
voyage from London to Melbourne, has
been reported by the Argo. When
within few miles Of her destination,
on the 18th of August, the Victoria was
discovered to be on fire, and having as
many as 400 barrels of gunpoWder
slowed away in her hold, the crew as
may be imagined, were seized with
considerable alarm, and at once took to
the boats and succeeded in getting be-
yond the reach Of danger, when the ex-
plosion took place, shiyering the ship
into atoms.
Fortunately, a ship was attracted to
the spot by the intense light of the ex-
plosion and picked up the crew m the
boats, who were landed at Melbourne 6
/. few days afterwards.

The ChInese RebelIs0a-gaeee.s Of the 1ns
surgents-HOrrid Atrocities.

The Chlnese Rebeils0n-9aeeeas of the AnS
snrEents-HOrrid Atrocities.
From a letter dated Shanghae, Au-
gust eth, we learn that "Shanghae and
the country around are now in a state
of partial rebellion: when it will become
open and general we know not. Since
the arrival at Pekin of TAPPING Wong's
troops, news has not reached US, but
we expect to hear now very soon, that
the capital has fallen" The news from
Annoy is brought up to the 1st Of Sep
tember. The long threatened attack by
the imperiaIists commenced on the 25th
of August, but the patriots were still
in possession of the town, when the
clipper schooner MsEeppa left on the I'd
of September.
On the 29th, early in the morning,
the Imperialists effected coup de main
at Annoy, capturing, it is said, body
of 400 Of the patriots, the best part Of
whom were beheaded instanter. Sub
sequently the insurgents captured be-
tween thirty and forty of the Imperial
lists. who were as summsrily beheaded.
HoEG KoNG, Sept. 9.-The mail
which was to leave on the 7th has been
postponed until this day, so as to enable
the public to reply to adyiees by the
Formosa, which brought the English
mail of 95th July.
That all engrossing subject, the re-
beIlion, keeps us in state of anxiety
and uncertainty. Mail after mail has
been expected to convey to Europe GER
tain intelligence Of the fall of Pekin,
and the dethronement of the reigning
dynasty, or the annihilation of the in
surgents by the Northern Tartar forces.
The outgoing mail will not remove
this perplexity, for although it is conf
IDENTIFY stated that Pekin has fallen into
the hands of the insurgents, and al
though the report is widely believed,
yet no one is in a position to say with
any degree of certainty that such is the
case, yet such an eventuation must re-
suit.
The Pekin Gazette is filed with ac-
counts of victories gained over the in
surgents, but these statements are not
believed.

COUNTERFEIT CoIN.-The New York
papers state that the new American
twenty-five cent pieces have been ex-
tensively counterfeited, and large num-
bers of them are In circulation. When
not much worn they are good imita-
ton, with one exception. the milling on
the outer edge is badly done. They
are run in moulds and the creases are
not clear, and show, on particular ex-
aminations, that they are not made in
the manner Of genuine. After use they
become dark almost as copper; but a
large number of them are in circulation
that look well, and new quarters should
be examined closely.

SAINT Armstrong, of Yamhill, was shot
through the breast, exclaiming as he

tie continued with fury. The yells Of
the Indians, the howling of dogs, and
the sharp continuous crack of the rifles
lasted about one hour, when apack train
arrived with ten more. Gen. Lane at
the head of those ten followed down the
trail to the battle ground, and ordered
charge, leading himself. He received
a wound through the right arm. The
battle continued for about four hours,
and the Indians called for quarters or a
parley, when finding that Gen. Lane
was there, they insisted on his coming
into their camp. The old hero, al
though pretty badly wounded and SUI
fering much, immediately went into the
camp Tor fortifcation, for it was repre-
sented to be stronger place to charge
than "Chepultepec," and had a talk

A SrI MousE.-A beautiful Iiyi

A. SEA MoUsE.-A beautiful living
specimen of the aphrodite is exhibiting
in England. The fish is six inches long,
and presents the general appearance of
a sole. 1t is furnished with &c feet on
either edge of the under part of the
body, the extremity of each leg or foot
possessing four or FIVE tentacule. The
great remarkable feature, however, is
the fine glossy filament or hair which
fringes the animal all round, evey hair
rejecting the color of the rainbow.
Dangers of Elephant HEnting.-Lt.
Wedderburn, Of the Grenadiers, sta

bag a wild elephant. On that day,
whilst at breakfast, some natives ar
rived and informed him that they could
lead him to an elephant not far off. He
set out with them Immediately, and the
animal was soon discovered on a plain.
He was armed with rife, and having
expended upward of twenty shots with
out bagging his game, attempted to
near the elephant, when it turned upon
him, charged, seized him in his trunk,
trampled him under foot, gored him
fearfully with its tusks. and, leaving the
unlucky sportsman corpse, disappear
ed in the jungle.

tract, we present below, as of consider
able interest:

Pussch, the jocose, merry and care-def-
ant, but recently hymned in dirge-like
measure, has been effectually working
out its destiny-the peopling of grave
yards, in this city and kingdom since
last winter. Whether it be the callous-
ness of human nature or the pre-occu-
pancy of the public mind with more i'm
portant matters that has caused such
Indifference concerning the pestilence,
as has been evinced in all quarters, 1
know not; still it is certainly true that
there is here the genuine Asiatic chole-
ra, progressing precisely as it did five
years ago, when it was the precursor
of so much sorrow-both in Great Bri-
tain and in the United States.

backward step in civilization. 1t has
restored disabilities which the barbarism
of the middle-ages imposed upon the
Jews, and which were only removed by
the revolution in 1848. The Austrian
government seems determined that no

to hold real estate in their own name,
but all property of the description to
which they lay claim, must be registered
