The Austria was fine iron screw steamer of
1884 tons, built in 1857 by Messrs. Laird & Co.
OF UreenOck. one was Duilb vi nine WhteF-tlEub
compartments, and her apparatus for extin-
gushing fire was Of the first order. She had a
direct, conjensDg engine, more properly known
among nautical men as a steam hammer engine.
She belonged 10 the Hamburg and American
Steam Packet Company OF Hamburg, and is the
last one OF the four steamers built Tor that line,
combining all the latest inprovements-an
being the most costly steamer Of the line. She
must have cost upwards Of 100000, which is
fully covered by insurance on the other sde.-
She was to sail hence for Southampton and Ham,
burg on the lst OF October.
The Austria had also large and valuable
cargo, the insurance Gu which will fall the
heaviest on the other side, Wall stree. being
liable to a very small amount of it. No du-
plicate manifest has been received, and the
names of her consignees consequently Will not
be known until they are received from Ham
burg, unless the copy on board was saved,
which is not likely.

CowHIDING.-A case of cowhiding came off
on Sd stree. las, Friday evening. The subject
of the castisation was Mr.. Morgan, barter on
Sd street, and the lady who inflicted the chas-
tisement was, we understand, a Mrs. Cooper,
wife OF a stage driver of this place. Ii was
alleged by the lady that Mr.. Morgan had given
currency TO certain rumors that involved her
personal reputation and whip in hand, accom-
panied by her husband, she proceeded to the
summary punishment.
Des Moines Citizen, 29th ult.
Mississippi planter, named Griffin arrived
at Cincinnati last week with a slave mother
and three children to whom he was attached
and set them free. While there he was taken
sick and died. The old slave mistress was the
only friend near TO close his eyes in death. De-
ceased was possessed of much property.
