10 me LdtIor of me Laeette:
The ladies' Of Davenport, who attended
the lectures Of Mrs Wheeler ON Anatomy
and Physiology, wish through your col
nmns to express their high appreciation Of
the manner in which these lectures were
conducted Being nor fully aware of the
importance-the great utility, of the knowl-
edge she communicates, they deem it a
duty which gratitude imposes, to do what
little is in their power to promote the ex-
tension Of such knowledge and to encourage
one who has taken upon herself the ar
duous task of public Instructor.
Encouragement and sympathy from those
who have derived benefit from these in
structions seem to be called for, from the
fac; that there is still an amount of preju-
dice, against lady lecturing on such sub
iects, to be overcome, and lack Of interest
yet to be awakened.
Mrs. Markham Whecler's knowledge of
her icct is thorough, her mode of cx-
planning and illus trating as clear as Ian
euare can make il her enunciation distinct,
her dieton truly elegant; we would say to
the ladies' Of the various cities and towns
she may visit, that they may consider it an
especial privilege 10 have an opportunity OF
listening t9 a course Of her lectures ana
>ecing the dissection of her excellent mod
ellie. LADIES OF THE CLASS.

THE lRIsH KNOW HM.-The Dublin
Nation seems to have correct appreciation
of JoIs MITCHELL, as will be seen by the
followed notice of him, which is certainly
not complimentary although very just:
"His brain appears to have been turned,
his heart to have grown hopelessly malcon-
tent in exile, and he sees the world again
only to scoff and snecr and make it echo,
with his cgotism. Eight numbers Of his
payet still leave doubt whether the writer
is merely little insane, or good deal
possessed Of the devil"

Disastrous Shipwrecks
AND
T.oGG q" T,TTE

The following brief particulars Of some Of
the fearful consequences of storm on Lake
Michigan. are from the Chicago Daily Cou-
rant of yesterday
Itis our painful duty to record disasters Of
the most melancholy and exciting descrip-
ton, the wrecks Of vessels and the loss of
life
Such occurrences as these, happen where
they may, are at oil times read or listened to
with melancholy interest, and our sympa-
thies to certain extent are engaged III the
fate fthe unhappy sufferers; but when such
sad and disastrous scenes are enacted upon
our own coast. yea at our own harbor and
within the range of our vision, we are led to
identity ourselves with them in a measure.
and the very SIGHT naturally creates in Us an
interest which the mere rehearsal could not
inspire.
Early in the morning of yesterday fears
were generally entertained for the safety Of
the shipping, owing to the strong wind pre-
vailing tom the North. As the day advanl-
ed. however, and the storm increased, the Y
citement grew more intense an general, and
our shores became crowded with men, wo-
men and children, all anxious to catch
glimpse OF the stately vessels. with their gal
liant crews. exposed to the fury Of the con-
tending elements,
From the roughness Of the Lake, and the
direction and strength Of the wind, il seemed
altogether impossible for any vessel to make
the harbor in safety. Notwithstanding this,
however the brig Enterprise and schooner
Pilot made the attempt, and we are happy to
state succeeded Shortly after, vessel
named the "Rocky Mountains,n and bound
for this port, unable to bear up against the
wind, drifted against the southern end ofthe
railway break-water Her crew succeeded
III reaching the shore: and she is fast becom-
ing a total wreck.
Shortly after a vessel whose name we
subsequently learned to be the "Merehant."
came in contact with the shoals at the mouth
Of the h.rbor. and after continuing in that
position fer sCme time, the sea making clear
breaches over her. she was finally capszed
bv the violence OF the waves. Now it was
that the excitement in the breasts OF the
spectators became raised to its greatest
pitch Three boats seeil gthe fate ofunfortu-
nate vessel, had happily put to sea, with the
view of rescung the sufferers from watery
grave, but alas, ere the wreck could be reach
ed. five of the unfortunate crew had sunk be-
meath the waves. The remainder. three il
number, were pickeiu up and saved, although
in one instance life was almost extinct.
Asthc evening advances and the storm con-
tinucs with unabated fury, the greatest fears
are entertained lest some of the other
vessels outside Of the hlrhor should meet with
a similar fate.

A scoundrel who was acting as steward
on the little steamer Col. Morgan, during
her recent trip from Galena to Montrose, at
tempted to violate the person Of young
German girl who was acting as chamber
maid She resolutciv resisted his advances
and indignantly refused the presents which
he offered to induce her to comply with his
wishes. Finally, he became SO exasperated
that he struck her violent blow in the face
knocking her against the partition and cats-
ing blood to flow prohlsely from her face
Her cries brought assistance, when she was
rescued. The following morning Capt.
Warner hearing of the circumstances, had
the steward put ashore. after which our for
mer townsman, Mr.. James Sven, (now OF
Prescott wisconsin, who is great lover
of Justice, and an honest, clever fellow,
thrashed the scroundrel soundly and gave
him such series Of duckngs as should ef-
fectualW improve his morals. He deserved
it all, and much more.
The above circumstance occurred while
the boat was lying wind-houna at lie Claire,

Awful shipwreck,

The telegraph has already placed before
our readers the fact OF the loss of the ship
PoWhatan and schooner Manhattan on Long
Beach. The captain it seems, was the only
individual saved out Of $50 persons on board
at the time of the catastrophe. The follow
ing extract briefly tells the tale
About seven o'clock the ships masts went
br the board, and almost Immediately after
wards the hull bursted in to, and every soul
on board was launched into eternity. The
sea presented black mass Of human heads
and floating pieces Of the wreck but in
few moments all had sunk to rise no more.
The beach was strewn with the dead boz
dies Of men, women and children, pieces Of
the wreck, the baggage of the passengers,
and empty casks. Nothing remained to
mark tn spot where the i'll fated ship went
down, except surging waves beating upon
fragment OF the hull which lay upon the
beach,
"The crying Of the drowning men and the
sllriekine Of the women and children were
hushed--al lay in the deep numbered with
the dead, while the wind walled loud and
adding still more horror 10 the
awful catastrophe. All had sank-captain
officers. and crew and passengers, oftwo hun
dred and fifty persons-aota a soul aras left to
tell The tale No aid came from the govern
ment house that night, and Capt. Jennings
was compelled to remain there by himself
a lonely watcher Of the dead
