READING.-There are few really good rea-
ders among us, and even those who are most
accustomed to public speaking, are often sadly
deficient in this accomplishment. What
queer examples oflalSe emphass-to mention
a common lault--do we hear almost daily ::
"Do you imagine me to be scoundrel sr?"
demanded one man Indignantly of an other.
NO." was the reply. 81 do not imagine you
To be one" This illustration Of the force of
emphasis, in giving meaning TO a sentence, is
often paralleled in the pulpit, on the stage
aud rostrum. y careless reader once gave a
passage from the Bible with the following ac-
cent and pausea; "Ard the old man said
unto his sous. saddle me, the ass, and they
saddled him" We once heard clergyman
tell his flock that "they had not followed
cunningly devised fable !" the natural inter
ference being that he did not deny the fable
but only the cunning. Another clergyman,
noted for reading hymns with an abrupt, bit
ter emphsis once uttered the bears in the
following couplet SO that it seemed to his con-
gregation noun instead of = verb:
'IIe takes young children in his arms,
And in has bosln-BEARs,"
We have all heard similar infectilities of
expression thousand times, though all are
not equally sensitive TO the jar which they
produced upon the cultivated ear. John
Randolph when dying corrected the pronun-
citation Of DIR Parrish, who was reading aloud
to him. Few would desire to be critical un-
der similar circumstances but We cannot
help respecting the instinct which to the last
shrank from mis-pronunciation.-- i. Far

Subtitle new American comedy has

nothing but high artistic merit can pass, and

consecutive nights large and brilliant audien-
ces, which, in this city, so devoted to political
strife and intrigue, routs, balls, soirees and
Conversations, is no small praise; and when

Tonight, above all others, would We like to
see the house crowded, it being set apart for a

Hurricane at Vera Cruz.

Esw 0RLEAEs, Jan. I3 BY the arrival at

1t appears that on the Goth ult, a nortAer

gradually and rapidly increased until il
amounted to terrible hurricane, involving
serious destruction 10 the shipping in port,
and an awful destruction Of human life.
During IT'S prevalence no less than seven
sailing vessels dragged their anchors and were
wrecked between the Southeast Fort and Hor-
mas Among these vessels vas the brig Men
uphar, of New York, which became a total
loss. She was owned by Hargous Bros, and
insured. Her crew were saved.
The Philadelphia connected at Havana with
the Granada, from Aspinwsll, via San Jaen
The news from Nicaragua Is similar to that
already received at New York
The correspondent of the Panama Star says
that the force left at Granada by Walker must
surely bs destroyed.
The Mexican War steamer Iturbide was al
so wrecked, and one hundred Of those on board
persisted
hide of Vera Cruz were George Cheney and
John Walker, engineers, natives Of the United
States
Mexican officers have arrived at Havana 10
take possession of the runaway steamer Dem
ocrsta, but the crew in possession refused TO
surrender her
The steamship Montezuma shared the same
fate on the Savanna, and nearly all Of her
crew were drowned.
The steamship Calhoun. which has been for
some time missing aud supposed TO have been
lost, has been heard from, in a disabled con-
dition at Alvarado. Her passengers came on
to this city in the Philadelphia. The Calhoun
is repairing at Alvarsdo.
The steamship Daniel Webster, OF NevYork,
from this port for Texas. is reported to have
experienced a severe norther near Indiarols,
on the 9th instant, and was driven ashore
A conducta Of $4,000, 900 in specie was eI-
pected at Vera Cruz from the city Of Mexico

A conspiracy had taken place among the
Spanish soldiers at the Isle Of Pines. The
leader of the conspiracy. an American seaman
named Chsuncey, was arrested and made 10

The FISH monopoly had been annulled by The
Cuban authorities, and foreign vessels are al
lowed to sell.
The American seaman Chsuncey, who was
connected with the conspiracy at the Isle Of
Pines, would, it was reported, be hung. He
had not been executed, however, al last &C
