ship Bengal, Of Bordeaux Captain Maynard, from
Martinique for Bordeaux, water-ogged. Took
from her the captain and crew, eleven in all, and
brought them to this port Captain NJ. reported
that on the I'd of February took gale from the
southwest, which swept the deck, carrying away
the galley; lost the cook and sprung leak.
"At first the crew almost able to pump the
water out as fast as it flowed in, but they subse-
quenty became fatigued, and the water gained rap
idly on us. The storm continued without any
change for the better till the 10th of February
when we sighted the American bark Tanaro of
Bath, by which we were subsequently rescued In
the meantime the crew had been on short allowance
of provisions and water and this time we had six
feet of water in our hold, with every sea running
over our decks without interruption. Our fac Of
distress had been flying now for eight davs but we
had sighted vessel up to this time of apy de-
scription. Our own boats were all either washed
away broken. 1t was impossible to launch
a boat, however, even if we had one. On
approaching our ship, the American bark hove
to and remained by us till the following morn
ing, when she sent a boat, with her mate and
four OF her men, to ascertain what we wanted The
mate, on being made acquainted with our condition,
decided to take as many of US the boat would ac-
commodate, on board his vessel, and on returning
to the Tanaro, the captain Immediately sent for the
men whom we were obliged to leave in the ship af-
ter the first departure of the boat.
At the time the boats were launched heavy sea
was running, and it was only at the greatest risk
of life we conveyed by them to the Tanaro"
The Tanaro was bound from Leghorn to Boston,
and was herself obliged to run for this port having
got short of water. When the hurricane came on
the Bengal was in lat. 40 II north, and in long 50
80 west When her was rescued she had
dritted to lat. 80 IA north, and long 43 IA vest
The French captain feels certain that she did not
remain afoat more than four five hours after
they lost sight of her.
PENNSYLVANIA MINING REG1oY-A correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger writing from Mi
nersville, under date of the 22d, saws:
Your correspondent has been around consider
able portion of this mining region, and finds a
| large amount of loss has been sustained by coal
| operators, in consequence Of having their mines
Hooded out by the recent heavy rains This falls
were heavy, not only operators but operatives;
1t must certainly tend to enhance the value or price
OF coal materially. As general thing the coal
miners are very needy, from the long continuous
bad times. The present active demand for large
coal for the iron furnaces and the short supply at
present, consequent on the stoppage of the large
white ash collieries, will cause material advance
for the large sizes of coal. The more experienced
and less needy operators backward about con-
| tracing for any large amount of lump coal, and
there is evidently desire on the part of iron men
to contract for future delivery; many of them are
| now soJournlng here for the purpose of making
| contracts. All the iron men, whose works are at
all near the canal, desirous to receive coal by
that MEANS rather than by the Reading Railroad
as from ten to twenty cents per ton is said to be
| saved-qulte an item in large business.
| The region suffering most from water is along
the Broad Mountain, commencing at the large ope-
| ration known as the Montekey Colliery, extending
| places about the Mine Hill Gap, and over BY the
Pine Forest, at Tamaqua it is said many of the
larger places are suffering materially. Quite de-
mand Is created for pumps, something of God
| send to the idle machine shops
LATER FROM HAYrI.-Further intelligence has been
received from Hayti, to the lst inst. strong feel
ing existed against the late Imperial Ministry who
are accused of having pocketed the government
fifth OF coffee, amounting to 50 400 OOO The popu-
lar rage was not so much against the exEmperOr as
against Vii Lubin and Count Delva MANY persons
are said to have suddenly disappeared during the
| Imperial government. 1t is said that they were
| political offenders who had been spirited away to
work on the estates of the nobility, at Just sutii
clent to keep body and soul together 1t is said that
among the blacks, good deal of sympathy is ex-
pressed for Soulouque but the mulattoes express
none. Many rumors were ahoat of large sums of
money which have been discovered by the new
| Government as baving been in possession of Sou
| louque. bag of gold was reported to have been
taken by gentleman from the in the neigh
borhood OF the palace, and taken to the new Gov
ernment. The Secretary of State had offered a re-
ward for the recovery Of large quantities of Specie
Jewelry &c, said to have disappeared during the
disturbances. Nearly S800,OOO in American gold
was reported to have been taken from Sououque,
just as he the point of embarking for ia
maica. Some puerie, but Intellectual attempts have
been made to get up counter revolution in favor
! of the eX-EmperOr.
President Geffrard had issued a decree to the
effect that from each department of the State
certain number of young shall be sent to France
to be educated at the public expense
The market was dull. The stock of -four on hand
was sufficient for the present wants.

| IHE BANK OF TENNESSEE DGSMEMBERED.-0n and
| after the lst dav of September next the Bank of
| Tennessee and Branches are required to pay out
only sucA notes the face redeemable in
gold at the counter where issued. This Bank must
obey the letter of the law; the Union and Planters
Banks refused to be governed by the Legislature in
this matter
One branch of the Bank of Tennessee cannot issue
and pay out the notes of another branch of the same
Bank Of course, cannot receive the other branch
notes unless the arrangement is previously made
tor the redemption of the notes. n O bank can CON
tnue to receive on deposit and in payment of debts
the notes of other banks which they are forbidden
to pay out. In very short space of time the home
| issue would be exhausted and all depositors would
have to be paid in gold. By this act of the Legis-
lature, the Bank of Tennessee is dismembered-it
can no longer act as unit. Each branch is in eff
feet an independent Bank, relying on its own re
sources.
The mother Bank will probably no longer attempt
to redeem the branch notes at Nashville-for theY
cannot do this without keeping on hand tw dollars
in gold for one in paper. This will prevent Nash
vile from being the money centre of the State, and
it is probable that all the branches will be able to
take care of themselves and furnish a sound
rency to the people.
