violent rornado in pTassachu.stt..;l

The town Of Uxbridge, Mass, was visited
Saturday afternoon, by q terrible tornado.
It seemed to begin in the north part of the
town, near the pond of the Uxbridge Cotton
Mills, the water in which was raised in large
volumes, whiried around, and then whirled
back, to its bed@-thence travelling in an
easterly direction. taking up -four barrels,
and sending them upward like balloons.
Every moyeable thing was speedily thrown
ftom its place. The shingles were stripped
lffom one building, and scattered long dis
stance in the tracks of the ruthless spoiler
Many valuable fruit trees were broken down,
and several buildings were more or less
damaged. Near the factory of @. A. Il J.
NJ. Wheelock, in the west part of the town,
the tornado cut path through the woods
three-fourths of mile long, and rod wide
Large trees, which for fifty years or more
had successfully battled with the tempest,
were broken down. One large tree, in par
tieular, which measured four feet in diameter,
was snapped of like pipe stem. After cut
tinga clean path through the woods, it rushed
along the fields of grain, laying it all fat and
broken. 1t next seized upon IL barn, turned
It end for end, and replaced it upon itsfounda-
ton, though not so skilfully as the owner
desired. How far the tornado extended be-
yohd this point is not yet known. Probably,
further reports will confirm the belief that
immense damage has been done. No proper
estimate can at present be made. Eye-wit-
IGnesses pronouncet the appearance of the tor
nado to be wonderful and fearful Its effect
was certainly wonderful. 3alr .

maladies which originate in a disordered inn

that they will be, seems more rational, and
that the proportion of disorders originating
from this source, and from the influence OF
passion, is large none can doubt. The fol-

REGULARITY OF THE Cry or oFlADEs.-Aden,
near the mouth of the Red Sea, was declared
Il free port in 1850. It's statistics since that
time exhibit an extraordinary increase in
commercial activity. In the years l844-45,
the value of its trade amounted to less than
$3.50, ,OOO in thirteen yearsit has increased
slghtfold, reaching in the years l85T-5s to
IS, 100000 One of the most important ele-
ments In this trade is coal, Alden having been
made the coal station for the steamers which
ply between Suez and India, Mauritius and
Australia. Next in value as an article OF
commerce, is coffee, which is brought by
water from the Red Sea TO Alden, and thence
exported to India France and America.
Cotton from India is also largely imported
at Alden, and is mostly sent to the interior.
The trade of Alden with Africa, which few
years back amounted to nothing, reached in
ls57-5S to nearly half a million of dollars.
The chief African port in connection with
Alden is Berbera, where q great annual fair
has lately been established, continuing from
October TO April ik The number Of vessels
not including steamers, which visited the
harbor Of Alden in l857-5s was iel. lli7 'N'

Prescription Of the Interior or sicily.

A Sicilian correspondent Of the London
Times, writing from The interior of the
island, says! .. ,t
As for the scenery, Il is the finest you can
imagine.--a continuous succession of inagnih-
cent valleys and grand mountain slopes. In
the distance we have been hitherto accoui-
panied by the picturesque, rugged main-chaiu
of the Siclian Mountains, which traverses
the whole length Of the island from Cape
Gallo TO the Straits of Messina. While we
have this magnificent background TO our left,
with frequent glimpses Of the sea, we wind
up hill and down hin among cornfelds as far
as the eye can reach, and now and then an
olive wood. From time TO time yon can OBJ
serve on the neck of a mountain clusters Of
white houses perched up among woods and
gardens, for wherever there is river near
every thing lives with an exuberant life-the
cactus, the aloe, the vine, the FIX and almond
trees, with flowers such as no hot-house can
produce, roses and oleanders in full bloom,
not shrubs, but trees. ' 4
The towns and villages, like eagles nests,
are perched up high, and secure from malaria,
which infests all the lowlands and from hos
tile attack, the approach TO them through
garden. What astonishes you is TO see so
much cultivation and so few villages and
towns-niles and miles of cornfelds before
you find an inhabited place. The insecurity

not understand how they can, from so great
distance, attend TO their fields, did you not
find now and then little round structure OF
weeds, some thing like an Indian wigwam, OF
AN English bell tent of reed. with the ground
excavated as in the Crimea, With still
greater astonishment you see that all these
grand mountain slopes, with waving corn
upon them, can not be plowed, but must
re worked by manual labor. You have been
accustomed to the lazy Palermitan beggar,
and had an idea that the Sicilians in the in

| an incredible amount of production for q
| small number of inhabitants. iil5IaI uiA

such scanty means of labor. The soil

that Sicily was the granary of Rome, The
| Crimean war and the war in Italy had given
i great impulse to the production, 30 that
1 millions Of ducats have found their way into
the pockets Of the landlords. If Sicily was
once under good government, which would
encourage instead of sitting industry and
| trade, as the Neapolitan has done there
would be soon no necessity to search for
grain on the Danube and on the Black Sea.
With reservoirs to keep what is now wasted

could be easily obtained in year. nd sii

BY recent arrival from the Coast of At
that there were seven American vessels in
the Congo River, June A, trading, of course,
but the names Of which were mot reported
English cruisers had been alongside them all,
found that they were not to be boarded with,
impunity, and prudently hauled off, as sew
eral officers had recently been reprimanded by
the AdpiiIHlty f0r going ON board Americsn
vessels without permission. Incidentally we
have been informed, that a regular feet OF
vessels clear from different ports Of the
United States at the same time and that dis
tributed among them are stores and water TO
fit out two or three of them fop tslavers, and
that when the coast is clear, they all combine
TO aid the selected vessels id nreceiving stores
and slaves with the greatest possible dispatch.
By these means, seven or eight vessels may
be all engaged in the slaye-trade, without
having on board sufficient slave material to
convict any one Of. them. 10 a~TlnGHl
This system might be termed the mutual
aid dodge" We understand that cit works
successfully. 1t rarely happens that there il
more than one cruiser near noted slave
| mart, and If she should succeed in making d
prize, she generally leaves the place with il
and proceeds to ST. Helena or Sierra Leone

The Court OF Assisos Of the Indre three
days ago tried married woman named
Maingault, of La Menardiere, on the charge
of numbering her husband, She is descended
from an ancient family Of The Province OF
Berry, named Gamache, but is without for
tune. She married in lS4l Maingault, who
was landed proprietor, and, as he was of
weak character, she not only wasted great
portion of his fortune by her extravaganza,
but ill-treated him, aud was, besides, unfaith-
full. In 1547 she left him, and lived apart for
ten years. She then returned to her husbands
house, and frequently was heard 10 ex-
press a wish TO see him dead, in order that
she might come into possession of what re-
NAMED Of his property, and marry another
man. GA p, r.. .,-..+.f +. nu'
Last year she represented that he had be-
come insane, and, as she pretended to be
afraid that he would attack her, she provided
herself with q heavy club to skill him IL he
touched her." In August the man suddenly
disappeared, and, in answer to questions re-
speoting him, she AZ one time said that he
had gone to Belgium, at another to Algiers,
and at third to Orleans. Although this
was considered strange no investigation was
instituted. - ... ..te..
Things continued in this state until March
last, when boy named Golland, who had
been In Maingault's service, expressed the
opinion that the man was not so far off as the
woman said; and when called on for an ex-
planation he related that he and his master
bad on the eleventh of August last, collected
a quantity of building stones and lime to
make repairs; that the woman had come 10
them and told his master to go down the well
of the house for the bucket which had fallen,
and had sent him (the boy) to do some job at
distance, and that on his return in an hour
he found that his master had disappeared, and
that the woman was engaged in throwing
stones into the well. The boy, therefore,
suggested that his master had been murdered
in the well by the woman csstiug stones on
him. The well being examined, was found to
be blocked up with stones and rubbish, and
the whole being got out there was found be-
meath the skeleton Of a man, which, from,
articles of dress on it, was recognized as thai
| Of Maingault. The woman was found guilty
but with extenuating circumstances, and was
condemned to twenty years hard labor.
