BsAu. We have now beautiful weather,
and our streets are daily thronged with
the beauty and fashion of our city. Our
fancy stores present truly sublime sight,
all dressed off in beautiful and costly
manner. Christmas of eighteen hundred
and fifty-seven is about to dawn upon
us. TO some it brings gladness and joy,
with no recollections of the past to mar
their happiness, but to Others it has no
charms; it is the same day to them and
as they think of their present situation,
they heave sigh and think the ways OF
Providence are strange.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DROWN.
Neon Sunday evening last, young
man fell overheard from boat, near the
Navy Yard, and after sinking three times
was rescued by two gentlemen who were
near by. On pulling him out of the wa
ter, they thought all chance of restoring
him to life was gone, so they pulled their
boat over to Ferry Point to carry his Boz
dy home, and after they got to his house
his relations took charge Of the body and
having hopes, though very slight, OF res
toring life to it, adopted the various rem
edies resorted to usually in such cases
and thus, after life had been apparently
extinct for at least half hour, he was
restored to the bosom Of his family, and
is now well and hearty and attending to
his daily vocation.

ALL A-BAoK.-It will be remembered
that a short time past at a very numerous
meeting of the citizens of Portsmouth,
resolutions were adopted instructing the
Town Council to take the necessary
measures to petition the Legislature of
Virginia for an act of incorporation for
the Town of Portsmouth; which was
done, and the President Of the Council,
G. w. Grice, Esq, yesterday appeared
before the County Court and made ap-
plication to that body for the appoint
ment Of Committee to confer with the
Council upon the subject; which the Court
refused 10 grant, The refusal was quite
unexpected, as the people of the county
were understood to be by very large
majority in favor of authorizing the in
corporation. We have not heard what
step the Town of Portsmouth, will next
take in the matter. Probably the next
court will decide differently, if not, we be-
lieve the law makes provision by which
its citizens can obtain their rights in the
premises.-We learn that all the magis-
trates on the Bench except one, Were from
the county .-Herald.
