Crime in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is cursed with the presence
of set of murderers and burglars. We
can hardly take up paper from that city
without being shocked with atrocious &C
counts Of the operations Of these monsters.

Samuel Morris, on Second street near o.

bound, and maIrea!ed, and compelled to
disgorgc all the cash he had in his pos
session. The scoundrels were all heavily
armed, and threatened instant death if he
attempted to make a noise. They struck
him on the forehead with the butt ends of
their pistols, and were about proceeding
TO further acts Of violence, when Mr..
Morris hired man, whom he had pre-
viously alarmed, returned with assistance,
and the whole party, numbering SIX, sue

RreadstufFs in Europe.

A Paris paper Of the lst Of February,
saws that enough wheat and flour mas
been imported into France TO feed The
neople of that country till next harvest
and il is stated that Paris alone has on
hand seventy-eight days supply. his
statement, and the large imPortanons al
Liverpool from this country are assIgned
as the causes of the decline reported by
the last steamer. The imports to Liver
pool constitute a reasonable cause for
decline. and so would the statement from
Paris, if il be true. But Of that we have
doubts. Nothing appears in French
paper except by authority of Government
and as the French Government Is, ana
has been for six months past, the greatest
speculator in breadstuh's in the world, lis
representations must be received with
some grains of allowance. Last summer,
as soon as it was ascerlaned that the crop
was deficient fully third, all the French
paperS, with one accord, declared that The
deficiency was greatly exaggerated, and
that there was an abundance for the support
of the country. Grain forthwith declined,
and Bonaparle's agents bought largely =
The same game may be played now,
About four weeks ago the London Times
stated that the French deficiency would
amount to sixry,four millions of bushels,
and that French Agents had been sent TO
various quarters of the world to buy up
grain. Upon the heels OF this, comes the
statement that France has plenty TO sup
ply her till next harvest! ltmay be So
but we doubt it. IfLou!s Napolean want
ed more wheat for less money, this was a
very good means of getting it. The high
price the lstof February caused the farm
crs in all the Atlantic States to bring for
ward all they had. When once adoat it
mustbe either sold or stored--and most OF
them would prefer to sell, whatever be the
price.--RichmOnG Wing.

Terriic Gaie3 at Sea.

Captain Phsburg, Of the ship Charlie:
Holmes, who arrived at the London
Docks on the lst of February, makes the
following report Of a succession OF violent
gales on the passage -
owe left Iayanna on the DIST of De,
ccmber, and on the LIST Of January, when
in Longitude II, a tremendous gale came
on from the southwest, with heavy sea,
causing the ship to labor severely. On
the 9th, second Gale set in, and veered
round from southeast - northwest. the
sea making a sweep over her deuh-- 18th,
the gale continued to blow very heavy,
lost from the iore.topgalant yard a sea
man named Francis Bunker, a young
Irishman, who was shipped III Havana,
and was drowned. A quarter boat was
also swept from the daviIs by terrific
sea, which kept breaking over the ship.
January 10, wind southwest, tcemcn-
dous gale, with a very dangerous sea. A.
times had to send before the wind, and
to heave to; but. scudding or lying to,
shipped so much sea as TO put herin great
peril. Being unable TO open the matches,
they got to the cargo Sugar through the
cabin deck, and threw some overheard.
"The officers, captain and crew, some
of whom have been at sea nearly all their
lives, and have traversed the Atlantic ma
ny time, say that they never have eXpe
rienced such terrific weather. At times
the ship would be lying to, merely on the
surface oC water, with the waves-whIch
were full the height of the Goremast-and
the cross seas rolling on board in differ
ent directions. Bulfor her great strength
and build, and the mercful interposiuon
of Providence, they believe she must have
foundered. The gales lasted, of and on,

Awful Predicament and Narrow Escape

One night last week two men, boat
men,) whilst attempting to cross tie canal
basin at Hays Mil, on the ice, il gave way
and they were both lie! into the water up
to their arm-pits. The water was about
nine feet deep. The hour was midnight.
The parties hung there and hallowed for
help considerable time. At length their
cries of distress aroused a white man by
the name of McCrea, and a colo:ed man
by the name of James, living in the Vi
cinily, who FASTENED to their rescue, and
by the aid of boards thrown upon the ice
cot them out and saved their lives. The
affair, however, did not begin nor end
here. There was both death and theft
connected with it. McCrea on going to
his coop in the morning, missed half
dozen of his finest hens and, on repair
ing to the place where he had rescued the
two men in the night, he found bag they
had left behind, in which he found his hens
minus their heads. The suspected parties
it is said, on the same night entered the
Oyster Saloon of Mr. John kesO, cat his
oysters--took what change he had III his
drawer--broke his bouIcs--desUoyed his
liquor--and then left the town and their
landlord unpaid--stoppcd at the house Of
Mr.. Henry Deekins, in Cumberland Val
lev got their breakfast, stole pair of pants
and are still, we suppose, carrying Oh Tor
emselges.--CumberImld .3HeganiGn.

they could get only passing glance and
nod, and had 10 endure the crush: undis-
tinguished for several hours. The robust
minister and the gentle madame had never
seen harder services at Washington.
