The British brig Boomerang Of Dundee 90 days from
Newcastle, short Of provisions, was towed up to The
city from the lower bay. The tide last night was vesy
full, and we may expect TO hear Of some damage %
merchandise the piers and in cellars fronting on the
rivers. The easterly wind has driven the drfce In
on Staten Island shore, and rome difficulty was expe-
rienced by the feyboas in getting from the landing.
The following steamers are due: The John Beli from
Glasgow; Ariel from Aspinwall; Roanoke from NosN
folk with the wrecked passengers of the Bremen ship
Globus; and Georges Creek from Charleston. The
steamships Montgomery for Savannah and PaRersbuag
for Wilmington N. c., left their piers, and probably
anchored below.

A "taking" portrait is that Of Mr. George ID.
Crosby which has been presented to our literary friend
TO add as we suggested to the artistic treasures d
his lbrary'C by the Chief of Police, accompanied BY
the following epistle:

We have emphasized certain lines in the above let-
ter TO suggest to the physicians, professors, and po-
cians that they had not in grcss neglect of obvious
duty refused to testify against this swindler he would
probably have been prevented from continuing hss
deTredtons; whereas he is now at large to cheat and
steal, perhaps do worse even than that.
We advise our readers to be their guard against
this scoundrel. He has sanctimonious viage, with
heavy eyes and thick lips smooth-shsved face dark
lair and big ears. lie is rather TALL and of good sd
dress, and decenty clad. lie wore black ovcrcost
with velvet collar. His photograph, which can be
seen in the Rogues Gallery, makes him look even
worse than he seems but just like what he is-a poor
wretch and the meanest of scoundre because he robs
kndheared people by exciting their benevolent feel
ngs.
