SIR: Your Cherry Pectoral is performing
marvellous cures in this section. It has relieved
several from alarming symptoms of consumption,
and is now curing a man who has labored I'M
der an affection of the lungs for the last forty
years. HENRY l.. PARKS, Merchant

tice of many years have found nothing equal
to your Cherry Pectoral for giving ease and re-
lief to eonsumptive patients, or curing such as
are curabe.'
We might add volumes of evidence, but the
most convincing proof of the virtues Of this rem
edy is found in its effects upon trial.

MIR. Clements Lecture.


IN- We are sorry to say that Mr..
CLEMENT did not receive the justice of a
very large audience at his lecture, on
Thursday night last. owing. doubtless,
to the shortness OF the notice given, and
to the extreme GOODNESS of the weather.
He read poem entitled 1.-The West, /"
which was full Of fe.like portraits, in
rhyme, of western men, apt descriptions
of western manners, happy hits at west
ern speculations, and truthful views of
western land and western resources. The
lecture was well read, and ex extremely en-
joyable, and the only cause of regret was,
that more were not present to hear it.
Accident.
LE- An accident, which came near
proving serious, happened to our towns
man, Mr.. NJ. V. Bush, on Saturday last.
He was hauling wood through the timber
north OF town, seated upon the load,
when he was caught by tree limb,
which overhung the road. and before he
had time to extricatc himself was vio-
lently doubled up, and thrown to the
ground in an insensible condition. For
tunately, another person accompanied
him, who replaced him upon the load
and drove as rapidly as possible to town.
The day being very cold, however, Mr..
Bush had, several Of his toes frozen be-
fore he reached home. We are happy
to hear that his injuries were of a merely
temporary character, and that be is rap
IDLY recovering.

A Great Earthquake.-The British ship
MinneAaha, rfrom Caldera, has arrived at
Callao, bringing intelligence Of terrible
earthquake at Copiapo, by which more than
one-half of the town was destroyed, and
causing great loss of life. The sh ock was
sensibly felt at Caldera. The Captain of
the Minnehaha reports the water as having
recsded some % feet in the harbor; he says
heavy sea. The Caldera and Copiapo Rail-
road, has suffered, it is said, considerable
damage, in consequence of which no trains
could pass over the road when the Minneha-
ha sailed.

The Great Eastern Damaged By a Gete.-
A gale recently overlook the Great Eastern
and nearly wrecked the big ship. A cores
pendent says:
The saloon skylights were blown up, and
wind and rain poured into the saloon. The
upper woodwork was leaking at every sea,
and the decks soft and splashins from the
drippings. Three anchors were down and
appeared taut to the very utmost. AT six
o'clock the break-water works were giving
way, portions of the wreck once or twice
fouling the screw, and it was found necessa-
ry to swing by one anchor. At 1890, A. M.
it parted, and the ship was adrift, rolling
and tumbling towards the shore. A second
heavy anchor was let 60, and the screw
moved ahead, but it again touled. The pad,
dies were then driven round at speed, and
were somewhat damaged by the floating tim
beers, The anchor held. Two screw golfers,
two briggs, two demmies, and one gallot all
of the links of the cable were actually drag
ged out one third longer,

MATRIMoNIAL.-Verily the blindyet withal
mischievous urchin, yclept Cupid, otherwise
known as the offspring of Venus and God Of
Loue, is playing quite fatally with the hearts
of our beaux and bellies just now. There
have to use a scriptural expression, slightly
remoddled,) been nothing on the tapis OF
late save "weddings and rumOrs of we'd
dings" We have scarcely recovered from
the onsternation produced by the reception
of numerous little cards, handso mely prin-
ted, announcing the "happiness" of sundry
parties, during the past few weeks, and we
have now in our minds eye, at least one
dozen more candidates for Hymen among
the masculine genders of our acquaintance,
who contemplate "going and doing it, in
very short time. Well, we can't blame the
poor fellows, man for must have thorough
ly weather-beaten heart to withstand the fas-
citations of the daughters of Norfolk and
her sister city. During the Fair week we
heard gentleman from the old North
State, who has travelled and seen some of the
world, declare that if he stayed in our midst
much longer he should certainly lose his
heart and be compelled to commit matrimo
ny-e. e. off he could get any one to have
him. as he had understood that our ladies
were every choice as to the personal good
looks of their lords and protectors. We. have
sometimes thought of going and doing, but

sundry items OF female apparel, such as silk

THE FOREIGN MA1Ls.-TAe Loss of the
Royal Choter.-Our files by the Asia, at
New York, and the Hungarian, at Portland,
have come to hand, but their contents have
generally been anticipated.
The papers contain very full details Of the
wreck of the steamer Royal Charter; after
fine run from Australia, when endeavoring
to make Liverpool from Queenstown. Out
of four hundred and ninety-four souls on
board, only thirty mine were saved, leaving
a total of four hundred and fifty-fve per-
sons lost, either by drowning or being killed
under the falling decks, timbers and iron
work of the ship when she went to pieces.
1t is estimated that she had on board from
100000 to 100000 in gold. letter thus
describes the scenes that ensued on the YES
sci going to pieces
Atabout clock, the waves beating a.
gainst her broadside with continued avio-
lence, she suddenly snapped asun&er amid
ships, and tumbled in pieces like Mouse of
cards. The scenes on board during the last
hour was painful beyond description
Wives and husbands, children sand parents,
lovers and friends were embracing each 9TH
er with the consciousness that they were
about to meet inevitable death.
The Rev. Mr.. Hodge, clergyman from
New Zealand, before this, had commenced a
prayer meeting in the saloon, which was
earnestly participst ted in by most until the
crash and ruin and the flooding of water
rendered panic universal. About twenty
six persons managed TO get ashore, but it
was more through Providence than design
or ability, for they were all washed on the
shelving rocks, and as narrowly escaped be-
ing washed back. Indeed, many were wash
ed on and off several times, and many who
thought they had secured land, or held fast
by iutting rock were hurled back again to
a watery grave.
On the vessel breaking open, numbers OF
people were to be seen floating about for a
few minutes, but what W it'll the strength of
the waves, the masses OF debris which COW
cred the sea, and struck many brave and
struggling mans brains out, but few were
able to gain firm hold Of land. At eight
o'clock in the morning nothing but the
wreck scattered about, and corpses left on
the strand, revealed the terrible catastro-
phe that had betallen nearly five hundred
human beings, few hours before glowing
with joy at once again sighting the shores Of
Old England.

THE ENGINE Room AT HARPER's FERRY.-
This room, in which Brown and his party
took their position, remains untouched since
the day Of the struggle. The broken sides
are still unrepaired, and the doors are per-
forated with bullet-holes. The white-wash-
ed walls are stained in more than one place
with blood, and at the back there is a hor-
ribe long red splash extending nearly four
feet and more than four inches wide, thick
and encrusted, and here and there dotted
with something beside gore-small frag-
ments of human fesh--which is pointed out
as the bloed of Brown, which poured from
his face as Lieut.. Green struck him with
his sabre, while he lay PROSTATE before
him. They keep this stain upon the walls
of their Armory, they say, for the sake OF
example. t..

In Leghorn, on the 9TH ult., remarkable
scene took place. For the first time the
Jews of that city offered up prayer for a
Christian prince, and invoked the blessing
of heaven upon Victor!Emanuel, King of Sar-
DINA. The prayer was recited by Signor
Roberto Funaro. At the first word the
three thousand Jews present, with the
exception of few old men, rose to their
feet, land remained standing until the close of
the prayer, to which they all responded with
an overw helming "Amen."
The Eco d'Italia, in reporting this inter
esting fact, gives the text OF the beautiful
and touching invocation, of which the fol-
lowing is but an adequate translation
"May that One who watches over the
safety of kings, who gives dominion to prin-
ces, whose empire is from everlasting to ev-
erlasting; may He who liberated his servant
David from the murderous sword, who open
ed a way in the sea and a sure pathway
through the rushing waves; may de bless,
guard, defend, succor, elevate and exalt the
King elect, Victor Emanuel.
"May the King of Kings guide his foot
steps, preserve his life, and shield him from
all danger and peril. May the King of
Kings, in his clemency, exalt the star of his
destiny, and grant long and peaceful reign:
May the King of Kings give to him and all
his counsellors and ministers power and
courage. NAV this be His Divine pleasure;
and let all the people say Amen"

this stage he was called OFT to dinner, and

cure peculiar style of pen, which thought
would facilitate the operation. We both set
to work again simultaneously, and though be
stopped occasionally to mend his pen, (he
