Baltimore Sun, from Washington, as follows:
The last arrival from Europe brings as the
news of the terrible effect which the burning
Of Greytown has produced in England. The
' Thunderer," always calm and classical, alludes
to the fact that several American papers have
already severely commented on the matter, and
opines that there is no need Of discussing it
further. Instead of threatening General Pierce,
as the immortal Dante did his tyrants, with the
=" vengeance OF the poet he consigns him to the
vindictiveness Of American newspapers There

The Nebraska agitation has already culmina-
ted, and the opposition to the bill has seen its
best days Z 1t will never do as well again. The
Northern Democratic leaders have determined
not to make it a test question, and the mass of
the people like it because it re-asserts and con
firms the doctrine of popular sovereignty. OF
what use is the agitation of the abstract aues-
ton, while thousands of emigrants are pouring
into the territories to decide it practically by
their votes That cock won't fight any longer.
We learn by the British schooner Mosca, Capt.

that the bark Juno, of Boston, Capt Waiting,
bound for Boston, from Matanzas, and loaded

THE CAPE MAY-The Louisville Courier says
that the wreck of the Cape May has been pretty
effectually broken up in the search after the
cargo, and now lies an indistinguishable mass
Of ruins. The greater portion Of the cargo, con-
sisting of dry goods, has been got out in par
TALLY damaged condition The machinery will
also be recovered. Seven bodies have been
found, two male and two female adults, two
white children and one colored. These are be-
lieved to compose all the victims Of the late de-
plorable catastrophe.

MIRACULOUS EsoAPE.-A son of David Kline
of Maidencreek township, Berks county, Pa.
aged three years, fell into well eighty five fee
deep, on Sunday, the 9th inst. Consid cradle
time elapsed before he was missed, when hi,
cries attracted the attention of his father, who
after discovering his dangerous position, was
compelled to go to a neighbours house, quar-
ter of a mile distant, to procure a rope, BY
means Of which the little fellow was safely
hauled up without material injury, except 8
slight bruise in the head, and being almos
frozen by the cold water. 1t appears that h
fell down into the water without striking th,
sides of the we'll, and upon reaching the sur

effected in the manner stated.
Captain Klockgether, of the ship Windsor
which arrived at Baltimore from Bremen few
days since, met with quite an incident on til,
passage over. When forty days at sea, tn,
weather being clear, an open boat was deserted
in the distance, with, as it was supposed, no on,
in it. The captain Immediately bore down
upon it, when, on examination, it was found t,
contain four human bodies, or, in other words
skeletons, as the flesh had been entirely stripped
| from the bones. The boat was filled with water
but being of light, airy structure, had con
tinued to float for days, perhaps months, upol
the turbulent deep. In the boat were a larg,
number of fish, which no doubt preyed upon tn
bodies A few remnants Of clothing were founc
| in the frail bark, but SO much torn as to pre-
| clude the possibility Of telling whether the,
belonged to seamen or passengers. There cal
be no doubt chat the bodies were those of som
| of the many unfortunates who were wrecked il
some of the missing vessels.
