of Commissioner Yeh, he, AT Hong, gladly made
his way to Hong Kong, and exiled himself by
emigrating to Havana to escape the scenes Of

TERRIFIC HURRICANE-NINE PERSONS KILLED
IN ONE HOUSE.
A violent hurricane passed ovor portion oil
this county, ranging from South East 10 North
West, on "Wednesday morning of last week. 1t
struck in its course the re :idence uf Josiah
Moody, about nine miles west Of this place.
where its effects exceeded in horror, anything
that the Imagination can conceive or the PEI,
portray. The place was swept as with be ON
Of destruction; every house OH tho premise,
taken up and scattered in pieces to the four
winds, and what is far more distressing to relate
Mr.. Moody, himself, and eight other members
OF his family were killed. and several more Sc
verely wounded. Out Of fourteen persons on
the place, but one, Mir. jackson, the son-in-law
of Moody, escaped entirely uninjured.
The storm came on about o'clock, and ac-
cording to the account given by the survivors,
was only few minutes passing over; yet it left
behind q scene of destruction and suffering the
like OF which those who witnessed it, may hope
never to look upon again. When the wind
subsided, three persons present-Jackson, who
as we have said, was uninjured, one of tue
young Moody's and young man named Turner,
slightly injured-wcre left able 10 give the alarm,
to the neighborhoUd and render assistance. A
crowd Of the nrghbors was soon assembled,
who set about collecting the bodies of the dead,
and those unable to move for their wounds
Everything was done that kindness and sympa.
thy could dictate to relieve the suferings of tile
wounded, and give decent burial to the dead.
When the bodies Of tho latter were brought
together, melancholy spectacle was presented.
Nine mansled corpses Of various ages and sizes,
from the gray haired grandsire down to the
tender infant, laid out side by side on rude
boards gathered from the ruins of their late
happy dwelling, was sight to melt the heart
of the beholder. The names and ages of the
deceased are correctly given in the following
list, furnished us by one Of their neighbors, who
examined the family record:
Josiah Moody, aged So; James Moody, 90
years, with his wife Margaret j., aged 20, and
his daughter Mary F., 10 months Elizabeth
G. Moody, l6 years Martha A. Moody, IA

THE WESTERN Hoo TRADE-At Louisville, on
Friday last 300 hogs sold at six dollars and
twenty-five cents net, and 10000 green hams at
u cents, but subsequently during the day Il
cents were refused for 10000 pieces. The Gin.
cinnati Times of Saturday says:
The trade yesterday was rather dull, owing, il
IS presumed, to the high prices demanded. It
believed that at moderate prices fair trade
might be done. The receipts of yesterday
amounted to about 2,lOO head. The sales were
at s5.75, 81, S5.25 and $50, according to weight
The sales at $3.50 were for future delivery. The
market this morning is rather quiet though the
receipts are somewhat on the increase. Heavy
hogs are bringing S6.25.

HORRORS OF The SLAVE TRADE. Tho St.
Helena correspondent Of the n. Y. Journal
Of Commerce, under date of Nov oath, de-
scribes the horrible condition of a cargo of
slaves landed there from an American vessel
"Windward Of New London which had
been seized by British cruiser -
"She had been out several days when cap
tured, and had lost by death great many /;
and the poor fellows continued dying by the
dozen daily, even after arrival here, twelve
dying On the day of arrival, aud out of about
600 only something over 400 outlived the
mscriee and suffering of'the middle passage,
OF only II days. After they had been land
ed, several died ere they could reach their
quarters, and daily new made graves are
opened. | cannot lind ldnguag1 in which to
paint tho filth and disgusting stencil of this
prison-house of miserable wretched suffering
The naked bodies, filth of person, emaciated
limbs, 10 almost skeletons, wan and pitiable
faces upturned, arms, legs, or persons still
sJro from the slave-stcaler's fiery marking
brand, all presented scene most sickening.
! thought, was it possible that man could
steel his heart 50 fercely, and quench out his
soul so utterly, as to look on such scene,
with the dead and dying piling around him,
and yet gloat over his gains as he presses over
the waters bcntath Gods pure sky and wit
Messing stars, on an errand so diabolical =?
Yet it is even So. Soon after the poor wret-
ches were landed, clothing, blankets &C.,
were furnished them, and as cold water or
bread was given ON, they mutely clapped
their hands in gratitude before they drank.
IL was good 10 look on and sec the sympathy
OF generous nation exhibited in the care Of
these poor fellows, who were all decently
clad and supplied with blankets, and are
now occupying comfortable habitation at
the expense OF The English nation, until they
can b sent away to some other colonies-as,
were they sent back TO the coast, they would
at once again BE- r-sold."
