ANEcDorE OF IRvNG.-One of the best articles in
the Atlantic Monthly for November, is the 'Recollec-
ton of Washington Irving, by his publisher G. P
Putnam" from which we take the following person
al anecdOte:
"The Sketch Book also received considerable
new matter in the revised edition; and the story
in the preface, of the authors connection with
| Scott and with Murray, added interest to the
volume, which has always been the favorite with
| the public. You will remember Mr.. Byrant's re-
marks about the change in the tone of MIR Irving's
temperament shown in this work as contrasted with
| hnlcEertocker, and the probable cause of this
| change. Mr.. Byrants very delicate and judicious
reference to the fact of Mr.. Irvngs early engage
| ment was undoubtedly correct. A miniature of a
young lady, intellectual, refined and beautiful,
| was handed me day by Mr.. Irving, with the
request that would have slight injury repaired
| by an artist, and new made for it, the old
one being actually worn out by much use. The

| APPALLING DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBGA-A death

almshouse on Thursday last that presented the most
shocking symptoms of that disease. The victim
was one Mary Dietrich, an industrious German
washerwoman, who lived in Jefferson street in the
Nineteenth ward. Three months ago. while hang

W. c. BRYANT AND TIRE WINANs SrEAMER.-Wm.
Cullen Bryant, editor of the New York Eceninq
Post, is visiting the coal fields of Western
Maryland During his stay in this city he visited
the Winans' steamer of which he writes to the
Post as follows:
L do not know what may be the expectations of
the Messrs Winans in regard to its speed, but the
| talk at Baltimore is of making the passage to
! Europe in four or five days, bearing with it the
mails and specie and few passengers. As look
ed on this enormous iron shuttle, the velocity of
which can be scarcely more affected by storm and
| head winds than that of fish, and thought of it
| darting through the sea with the speed which is
claimed tor it, it occurred to that if a sailing
vessel should come in its way it must be pierced
through and through, like pine shingl by
| bullet.
