A SAD INCIDENT OF THE MIssING STEAMER.
Last winter, a gcntlemanly and well cdu-
Gated Englishman arrived in Philadelphia
with his little son, and having hired furn-
ishod house, sent to England for the rest of
his family. Soon after, letter came from his
wife, saying they would take passage in the
Steamer City of Manchester. Subsequently
another letter came, stating that she had not
been able to make her arrangements i'll time
to sail in the Manchester, but that she should
certainly sail in the City of Glasgow.-Somc
time after this, letters came which she had
mailed at the time of embarhing in this ship,
and now he was unspeakahly happy with the
almost certainty of seeing his wife and child
rem in a few days. But alas day after day
and month after month elapsed, without any
appearance Of the steamer. DAILY could nc
be seen at tie steamers wharf until all hope
had fed; and now, it is stated he is in luna
tic asylun--a rauing nianidc.
