The ship was dressed from deck to truck in
holiday attire ! side,buys were mustered at

guns Numbered forth royal salute, and the
commodore welcomed his guest to the

ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE OoURAGE OF
THE KING OF NAPLEs.-On a certain ocea-
sion King Francis was for hours in castle
overlooking the harbor, and during his visit
the room he occupied was three times en-
tered by eannon-balls Walking in the streets
of shooting him. "Be careful of your aim,
friend, said the King, folding his arms, "for
if you miss fire will have you shot in the
morning. Overcome by such bravery the
man threw himselfat the feet of Francis and
crsved pardon, which was granted.
What pity that talents so exalted should
have been wasted in cause so bad, and that
for his own folly and the sins Of his father, a
monarch capable of exhibiting such qualities
is driven from his throne, amid the execra-
tions oftha world.

Breaking up of tue Ice in the Hudson

Breaking up of tue Ice in the Hudson
River - Immense Destruction Of Prop
erty,
ALBANY, N. Y, February l3.-The ice
commenced moving in the river about half
past eight o'clock this morning. asa a..
The break up was sudden, attended by o
noise like thunder. Within twenty minutes
after the start the water Iose four feet and
has been rising ever since until the present
time. .- r--r .Isd st r..I
The rise is about seven or eight feet, at
half past ten; the destruction of property is
large, the ice being blocked below the
city. The damage in basins is roughly ,esti-
mated at $4,000. Boats, propellers, and
other crafts were driven up BY the force Of

A heavy tow boat and other boats were
drawn through the first story OF the frame
freight depot of the New York Central Rail-
road, the whole front being knocked out,
| and the building, which is very hong, and
two stories high, is very much damaged.
TIVE machine shops, owned by Mr.. Pun
chon, were destroyed in a similar manner.
at the foot of Hamilton streets propeller
was driven through the wall Of the Dudley
House, which stands at the corner of the
quay! cuiIs ~ ,,,ar- .l.'.u.1 4
The damage to produce and provisions in

The water, in some places, is up to Broad

reaches to Stsnwix Hall. Cellars and base

At present there is little prospect of the
abatement of the food. State-street and

The BeGrimmed AtmOsphere aud Elegant
Toilets or Women in Clncinnati.

The beRr1mmed atmosphere and Elegant
Toilets Of Women In Clncinnati.
One of the editors Of the Boston Atlas
and. Bee gives thisi exaggerated account of
the atmosphere of ofOincinnati, in late letter
from this city; '.a
Think of the ladies, after the most killing
effort at their boudoirs, TO make a perfectly
stunning dash on Fourth-street, in all the
glory of style which Solomon never heard,
nor dreamed Of with faces rivaling alasbas-
ter in whiteness-think of them ia half an
hour as spotted as the tiger and as striped as
the leopaEdl And yet such is what you see.
That is a source of modification and embar-
rassment to the ladies, you may readily be-
lieve. What can be more provoking for
instance, than for a lady, arrayed in the full
blossom Of fashion, und out for great show
and dash, to be told that an area of half an
inch, on her cheek or nose, is as black as the
ace of spsdes2 Or that her face is divided
or cut up into sections by numerous dark,
dinghy lines ? HA .H
mot much use to dress, out there" Ihear
some of our Boston ladies, who believe in
complexion as an element of beauty, say.
And they are right in saying so. Neverthe-
less, think the Cincinnati ladies make more
of dress 1han do our own. They seem tosay
in their conduct, Satan take the smoke, zoe
can face it." They do face it, as their faces
show. In Russia the accredited common
salutation of the street is, "Good day let
me blow your nose;" the latter prefer being
regarded as tcdrming, if not warm act of
friendship. This has somewhat of a coun-
terpart here, as they tell me, in, "Good day;
let me blow yeu off" the latter having
reference TO friendly attempt to clear your
face of the inevitable smut. In the morning
you are Tor are expected to bel white; at
noon mnlatto; night, black as Africa.

A PEDAGOGICAL NBRo.-A schoolmaster Of
Leeds, Purgeon by name, was charged some
weeks since, with an aggravated assault on
a boy aged nine years. The boy had been
examined by Mr.. Price, surgeon, who stated
that be found the boy had been severely
beaten over the back and shoulders. and was
covered with confused wounds, The beat
ing had been very severe, and, though he
could not speak positively, he fancied there
had been twelve or fifteen blows struck. The
magistrates afterward examined the boy
themselves, and committed the schoolmas-
ter--whose only excuse for his conduct was
that the boy had laughed at him-to two
months imprisonment. 5sapf -5f.

Z SIR JOHN FRANKLIN's MEN AND THE Es-
oUIMAUx Sir, Edward Belcher, celebrated
for his Arctic explorations, says that from
the well. disposition of the Esqui-
maux to associate with white men, il is
probable that some of the crew of Sir John
Franklin's expedition may be now living
among them. In a paper read upon the sub
ject, before the Ethnological Society, he
traces close connexion between the North
American Esquimaux and the Indians of the
Pacific shores.
There is common process Of manufactur-
ing stone implements and weapons in places
1890 miles apart, among the natives of Calf
fornia, Mexico, the Sandwich Islands, and in
the North and South Pacific. They have
ingenious instruments for planing wood /;
drills and bows for drilling holes with them I;
hammers and axes made Of bone and stone :;
imitation fish for fishing; contTivances for
catching birds, and an instrument for
Strengthening arrows by means OF steam.
The stone nephrite, which is the most valued
ornament of the Esquimaux, is also en-
ployed in China, New Zealand and Japan to
ornament the statues of their gods.

OuTRAGRoUs ISJUsTIcE AT RoME.-The
utmost freedom is certainly not to be found
at Rome, nor are the farces that are pro-
duced in the play, houses the only ones en-
acted in that imperial city. On recent oe-
casion, during the performance of the TFo-
VatOre, the usual military chorus was ap-
plauded to such degree that the police
interiered, and went round to several boxes
to take down the names of the most vocifer-
ous spectators, who were summoned the next
day TO the police Office, severely reprimanded
and prohibited from attending any public
place of amusement for three years. Signors
Alibrandi, Sejani, and ten or twelve other
frequenteTs of the opera, are among the best
known of these victims of police severity.
Signor Piperno, respectable and talented

a most impertinent and annoying rumor,
which has caused much excitement in the

appeared in several of the papers, stating
that the house occupied by the family was
haunted, and Offering large reward to any
one who would reside in it. This attracted
a large rabble on Sunday last who were
very offensive in their expressions, aud could
be dispersed only with difficulty. Measures
will be taken to secure the party guilty Of

Soil AND CHARACTER OF THE GREAT WEST
ERN PLAINS OF. AMERIoA.-These occupy q
longitudinal parallelogram, nearly 1000
miles wide, extending from the Texan to the
Atlantic coast, and from the Rocky Noun
tains to the western border Of Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa, an area equal
10 the surface of twenty -four States between
the Mississippi and the Atlantic, without a
single abrupt mountain, timbered space,
desert OF lake. There is no timber on this
area, and single trees are scarce. The soil
is not silicious or sandy, but a fine calcareouS
mould. ..... .--...- b.
The country is thickly clad with grasses,
edible aud nutritious, through the year, and
swarm with animal life. The climate is
comparatively rainless; the rivers which
abound, and which all run from the west to
the east, serve, like the Nile, to irrigate
rather than drain the nsighboring surface.
From their dimensions and position, they
may yet water the pasture fields Of the
