THE TORNADO AT THE EAsT.-On
Monday evening there was a very Sc
we're storm. though less destructive
than the terrible hurricane which
swept over so wide a tract in Illinois
on the day previous. At Baltimore
many houses were struck by lightning
ami hailstones Of an immense size fell,

ing our residence in this city we have
witnessed no gale which has prevailed
with equal fury for such long time.
The waters of the Lake had risen
carly in the day so much that some of
the residents near the terminus of the
Jefferson and Lake Railroad deemed
the safety Of their families perilled by
the action of the wind and waves, and
sought refuge in this city. We did not
hear of any loss of life at the Lake,
though several narrowly escaped G
waterly grave during tho fury of the
wind and waves.
The rain fell in torrents and was SO
fiercely driven by the force Of the gale,
that it was at times during the day,
almost impossible for man or beast to
stand against the pressure. 1t is sell
dom we are visited with storm OF
equal duration and violence. We may
expect distressing reports of the ship
ping on the coast.

The louisville Canal Emlargement.--
The work in this great public thorough
fare progressing quite rapidly the
Courier of the 25th says:
The contractors of this important
work have evidently commence in
earnest, and during the past week have
had fully three hundred laborers at the
work of excavation along the site of
the new locks. Theirprosent iabors arc
along the bank of the river, commenc-
ing about opposite the foot of the reef
in Sand Island chute, extending dia-
gonally through upper Portland to the
canal dock. They have dug a ditch,
VARYING from five to twenty feet lin
depth, the entire length of which is I'M
deriaid with lime stone and slate. That
will cost immense labor to remove, but
it will make the work more durable.
The masonary work is to be laid in the
best water-lime cement, anda contract
has, we believe, been closed with Capt
Irvine, of the McHarry Hydraulic Co
ment Factory, at Shippingport' for ono
hundred thousand barrels of cement.

He is even now just completing tho

from rolls, dampened, printed upon
both sides, at the rate Of forty thousand
impressions an hour, folded ready for
the carrier and the mail, This machine
is as high as common two-story coun-

~ The Concert and Ball, of Satur-
day evening last, though not quite as much
crowded as one on former occasion, was
comfortably supplied with attendants, suf-
ficient in numbers to render the perform
ance exciting and agreeable. All present
appeared to appreciate the superiority OF
the music with which they were favored.
Many of the pieces performed by the in
struments alone were accomplished in a
style seldom equalled by any collection of
performers in this or any other city.
The Music continued to enliven the
spirits and buoy up the feelings of all pre-
sent in pleasing manner even after the
hour set apart for the commencement OF
the Ball had passed, and the lovers of the
dance, became somewhat impatient to en-
gage in their favorite amusement, for the
enjoyment of which many had specially
attended.
About twelve o'clock the Hall was ar
ranged for dancing and when the Band
struck up as many as could find places
were Immediately upon the floor and
eager to participate in the innocent and
attractive amusement which was then to
follow.
From the satisfactory manner in which
the Concert and Ball was conducted, and
the general jovial good feeling which pre-
vailed during the evening; the desire o.
oil to obtain amusement and enjoyment
without enoroaching upon the rights OF
customs of any one present; and the entire
absence of any and all action which could
be termed ro,odyiSn,, inclines us to the
opinion that the Institution ofour friend
George" will shortly be considered equal
if not superior to any place of amusement
in the great city of New Orleans.
When we left the Garden at an early
hour, good humor had full sway-the Sa-
loon was filled with those interested in the
dance, and parties were seated on many
portions of the grounds--in the arbors--
and in squads of various numbers, all ap-
parently enjoying themselves as best
suited their inclination. So should it al
ways be.

Col. Rudlcr.--Of Col. Rudlcr, tho
second in command in tho Walker cx-
podltion, the Augusta (Ga) Dispatch
says:
Col. Rudler resided in this city from
early boyhood up to stho former Mica
raguan enterprise of Gen. Walker, and
has sisters residing here, He was high
ly esteemed among his acquaintance
hero, who appreciated his warm gon-
orous nature, and his brave, manly
qualities. His whole attention had for
several years boon directed to the
scheme of extending our government
to Central America, and his devotion
to Gen. Walker was moro like n brother,
than the more attachment which at
tends the fortunes of war. When he
wrote us few weeks ago from Trux-
lilo, he seemed hopeful and buoyant,
though his friends regarded tho land
ing there n sad misstop. Let those who
do not commend the purpose, which
led him to sacrifice his life, cherish
his memory rs brave, generous aud
honest man.

| More Slaves Cdptured.-We copy the
following from the Norfolk Herald Of the
9th:
The hern.. brig Storm King, 81 days
from Monrovia, arrived here Yesterday in
charge Of Lieut.. A. K. Hughes, of the y.
s. steamer San Jacinto. The Storm King
was captured by the steamer on the 8th of
August, off Congo river, in lat. $40 S.,
hours, and had on board CTS negroes,
which were afterwards landed at Monrovia.
When ordered to hoist her colors the
reply was, in Spanish, emo lntende," and
having no nationality she was taken. The
Storm King, we believe, isthe same vessel
which escaped the vigilance Of the New
York officers some time since by bribery
is owned in New ork by Anthony Vieara,
or some such name-commanded by a
Massachusetts mar-and the crew COM
posed of New Workers, Jerseymcn and
| Spaniards. The vessel has been taken in
charge by the U. S. Deputy Marshal for
! this district.
When the Storm King parted with the
| San Jacinto, the latter was in pursuit Of
another SLAYER, said to have 1000 negroes
on board.
Lieut.. Hughes reports that the prize ship
| Erie, with over 500 Africans on board, ar
rived at Monrovia, Aug. ODD, in command
Of Lieut. Donnegan, U. S. NJ, having been
captured by the U. S. steamer Mohican.
Tiocnty-oae Shots and .StiU AJiue.-
The Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser, Of
the 25th ult. says:
We learn that serious ARRAY occurred
al
Wednesday night last, in which young
man by the name Of c. Dawson, and a little
son Of MI. Brooks were shot. The
wounds Of the former are not dangerous,
but the latter received twenty-one shots
in his body, and although still alive at last
accounts, his life is almost despaired of by
| his friends. The shots. were aimed at the
| father of the boy. John Day and Lewis
Watkins have been arrested and impri-
soned, charged with having done the
shooting.

the stubble canes are remarkably dry,
and not sweet; while others state that
that this parish will make an averaged
