eyes. JOHN SEIGLING. Jr. ESQ, young and pro-
missing member of our bar, and m active and USE
full citizen, died yesterday, after painful and
lingering illness of several weeks The fact that
death loves shining mark is fully proved in the
death of this talented and much beloved young
man. He was the idol and admiration of a wide
circle Of friends and relatives md the solace and
comfort of IN aged and doting father. Like hun
dreds of others, he has been called away in the
young morning of life, when every thing in the
future was bright and promising, and Il lhudaole
ambition was urging him on to new and untried
paths of usefulness and honor. His talents were
of high order, and he had chosen the profession
OF the law as more congenial to his taste and hab
its, and as opening wider field for usefulness and
distinction than any other. Three years ago he
was chosen member Of our State Legislature by
very fattering and complimentary vote, which
expressed the confidence of the public in his use
fulness and ability. ..
An inquest was held yesterday by H. NJ. scHRo-
DER, ESQ.,, over the body of q man named SAMUEL
C. COLE, q native of Philadelphia, who shot him
self with pistol, on the bridge leading to the
Bathing House, off South Bay Battery, Of which
wounds he died about seven o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t appears from some papers found on
his person, that he was q carriage painter and
trimmer, and that he had contemplated suicide
for several days. He accomplished his wicked
designs by discharging pistol in his mouth, the
ball going through his head and coming out at the
top. He was doubtless driven to this rash and
fearful act by excessive intemperance, which ter
minated in delerium tremens.
The fore and aft schooner, William and John,
which reached this port yesterday from Miami
and Indian River Florida, brought the sad intelli-
gence that the schooner, II. r. Roberts, which
sailed from this port for Indian River about the
Goth September last with cargo of stores for
United States Troops, was wrecked on Indian Riv-
er bar, on the 28th of September. The vessel is
total loss-the cargo was saved partly, and in
damaged condition. The crew and passengers
escaped safe ashore There have been many ma
rine disasters this season along the Florida coast,
which have resulted in the loss of lives and prop
perty to q large amount.
By the arrival of the British steamship, North
america, we have advices from Liverpool up to
the 7th instant. The sales for three days in that
market, reached 80, 900 bales at small advance
on former prices. The sales in this city to-day,
up to two o'clock, amounted to 800 bales, at prices
ranging from III to II cents. The market seems
to be regaining some of its former activity and
buoyancy, and the demand is becoming quite lively
with corresponding disposition to accommodate
holders.
The Theatre opens tonight with the play of the
sJealous Wife," to conclude with the musical

sign to acquaint himself with the drama Of the old
world, as we'll as to collect suitable talent and
stage equipments for the present season. There
