sheet ice drifting down with the ebb tide bore it
away ere all the passengers were able TO jump
ashore. Notwithstanding the greatest efforts of
their companions to rescue them by hauling the
boat ashore, they We're forced TO witness their
three fellow passengers, woman and two men,
borne of rapidly by the ice, with every prospect
Of meeting watery grave, or freezing from the
intense cold
During the course Of the night, they were thus
carried down the river till opposite St Thomas, a
distance Of thirty-fve miles from the city, With
the rising tide they were again brought up as far
as Berthier, where at noon on Sunday they were
observed by the people going home from mass
and after great exertions were rescued from their
perilous situation, having spent nearly "a hours
on the river, including one of the most severe
nights that ever experienced throughout our
winter season.
Their escapeis altogether due to the exertions

affects federation. tOf the vast population of fully

the regular church; 100000 are dssenters or here
tics TO that church itself; 3,500,000 Roman Catho
lies are found throughout the wide domains ofthe
Gar; and 250000 Armenians. The Protestants
of the Augsburg Confession of Faith amount TO
1000 900; those Of the Reform Church $4,000.
There are 10000 Moravians, while no less than
g 500 600 belong to the Mahometan creed. The
Jews are 100000 in number, and the followers of
that mysterious potentate, and Grand Thibet,
amount 10 no less than half that number. There
are creeds still more extraordinary throughout the
enormous tract of territory which constitutes the
Russian Empire. 10000 are open idoators, and
no less than 100000 are addicted to the disgusting
practice of Feticsm, worshping bats, cows, and
every uncouth specimen Of brute as representa-
