OCCUPATIONS OF THE AMERICaSs.-The census
returns of the occupations of the people of the
United States are curious and Instructive The
number OF BARRIERS and brok ers is about the same,
and between the two people get well shaved.
Ther are about eighty professed doctors to one
professional undertaken Only eighty two people
informed the census takers that they were authors,
while no less than two thousand individuals as
sumed to be artists" There are one hundred
thousands blacksmiths and the same number of
merchants. The lawyers out number the bakers
by ten thousand, there being twenty four thousand
of the former and fourteen thousand of the latter
The hatters and the tobacconsts are about equal
in number. The carpenters number two hundred
thousand; the masons sixty-four thousand; the
tailors fifty thousand; the wheelwrights thirty
thousand the saddlers twenty three thousand
There are more confectioners than wst-hmakers,
more weavers than teachers; more vinegar makers
than showmen; and the same number of wagon
makers than as edtors. Strange to relate that,
among the returns of the trades, not politicians
IL enumerated. and the tables of the professions
do not include q single patriot.

ers, brought out the scene with the wreck OF the
pier. the anxious crowd upon the shore, and the
police out In strong relief At daylight . fresh
party OF searcheSs, armed with graphing irons
and drags, commenced operations; but until near
nine o'clock their labor WAS for nothing.
Between eight and nine o'clock, Messrs VIM.
Alexander and John Ramsiey, who were IN . boat
engaged In graphing, brought up upon their hooks
body from point just below the sluice into
which so many were precipitated A general rush
was made tow ards this spot, and 1t WAS sometime
before 1t was known whose body had been recover
Ell the excitement was meantime most intense -
The body proved to be that Of Miss Rhinedollar
IL WAS placed upon n settee and conveyed to the
residence of her father in Lancaster street Coro'
ner Delavan was In attendance, having been upon
the ground during the night. The inquest will
probably be commenced this afternoon.
About three quarters Of an hour later the body
OF young Wolverton was recovered by the same
party, at about the same spet. The remains were
sent to the residence OF the father of the deceased
The crowd about the wharf was very great du-
ring this morning, and the presence of large po-
lice force was necessary TO keep the throng off the
wrecks of the pier
The CAUSE OF THE DISASTER
The general impression seems to be that the out
er end Of the Eastern section settled, carrying with
is the shears already described. The guys At.
tacned toh6 shears caused the latter to break OF
rear the bottom and fall nwards. We are
informed that the workmen upon the pier became
alarmed during the afternoon at the premonitons
of crash and refused to continue their labors
upon it. 1t is also stated that the persons upon the
pier had been advised to stay off of it. as it was un
safe; but they did not heed the caution.
The graphing for the bodies was continued up
to l2 O'Clock, without any result large number
of spectators and interested persons remained in
the neghborhood of the scene until that time.
when nearly every person left the wharf The
search will be resumed this afternoon.
