HE NoRFoLK.-This steamer has at last
been raised and gotten upon the ways at the
sectional marine railway establishment of
Mir. Nash, in this city. The aperture in her
hull is very large one, and We cannot i'm
agine how that lighter made such a hole.-
She will be speedily repaired.
Loss OF THE FLORA TEMPLE The last o ver-
land mail received in England, announces
the loss OF the ship Flora Temple in the
China Seas. The Flora Temple belonged to
Baltimore, having been built in 1858, and
W as an A. ship Of 1915 tons, valued at $780,
coo. She sailed from Baltimore about IS
| months ago, under command Of Capt. Chas.
johnson, for Hong Kong, and was there
chartered to convey eight hundred Coolies
to Havana. She was engaged in this service
when wrecked. No particulars of the loss
Of the ship have been received as yet; it is
Only stated that 80 Of the crew had reached
Manilla-the remainder, with the coolies
supposed to be crowned.
Capt johnson is a native of this City, (son
ofCharles johnson, Esq, of Norfolk Coun-
| ty,) though his family reside in Baltimore.
A brother OF Capt. j., also went out in the
snip in the capacity of Supercargo, and was
doubtless on board when wrecked. 1t is
earnestly to be hoped that the fears natural
iy entertained by the friends of these esti-
mable men, may be dissipated by speedy in
telligence OF their safety; and that the full
accounts OF the disaster may show the loss OF
Life among the coolies. to be greatly le.s
than is now Supposed. -Heratd.
We learn that some four or five youths
belonging TO this city were in the Flora
Temple with Capt. Johnson, as apprentices,
and much uneasiuess is felt by their parent
regard to them. They are all of very re
spectacle families.

the time of Adam, the moral hygiene of the
people has occupied the attention Of SavanS;
very many wise aad good men have spent
their time and money TO Improve the condi-
ton Of their rae ; I'd it is consoliug re-

convincing evid Auces Of the fact. The City
Jail is nearly e,upty; there is but one per

he is rom ighooring county; some three
or four are contined tor misIeneanors, and

The &layor's Court has be n almost deserted
of late, and our JeemS informs US that it is
d very rare thing that be can procure real
good item from that once prolific source. -
He SAYS, there have been no manifestations
OF rowdyism, us demonstrations OF lnsub-
ordination, no symptoms OF dissipation, no
determination to overthrow the nation, nc
kind OF abomination, no deterioration OF the
morals of the population, very little inebri
alton, and so indication OF disposition to
cessation of the good intention of the popu
laton.
