Terrible Calamity at Sheffield, England.

LONDON, Tuesday, March ID, 1864.
No country is free from great and
terrible calamities.- Now it is an earth
quake, now conhagration, now an in
undation. England has just been Wis
tied with a sudden and awful calamity
of the latter kind A few miles above
Sheffield. a small river, a branch of the
Don, had been damned like the CrOtOn,
to form a reservoir for the supply of tho
town. The lake, formed by what was
proved an insufficient embankment,
was nearly hundred acres in extent,
and at midnight on Friday night, this
whole body of water swept down the
valley, carrying away scores of dwell
ings and drowning some three hundred
persons, who were asleep in their beds
The destruction of property all theway
to Doncaster is roughly estimated at
half million of pounds sterling The
following is a graphic description from
Sheffield paper of the scene when the
food reached that town, some six miles
below the embankment
Persons who were out in the streets
when the flood broke out, say there was a
long, loud, terrible roar upon the stiffness
of the night, which increased in its inten-
sity and as they stood listening, perpleX-
ed and wonder-stricken, there came sound
-. alr ha
as Of waters dashing on rock, and this
was quickly followed by piercing shrieks,
first distant, then increasing, until up the
streets in every direction, away from the
flow of the river, there ran hundreds and
hundreds of persons in their night-dresses,
some dragging little children by the hand,
others, half-dressed, tripping and falling
and from many the same terrible eXclama-
ton came and nothing more: ooh, God (!
the flood the flood - Many of the poor,
naked and destitute creatures were taken
into the police office, where, round great
fire, they lay or stood, talking of their los
ses, or mourning for their dead, until morn
ing broke, when they sailed forth in the
hope Of saving some remnant of their goods,
or hoping against hope to meet the one they
had mourned as dead"
The Government Immediately sent
an engineer to report upon the cause
of the calamity, and there will be no
want of pecuniary aid. Mr.. Hadfrile,
one of the Members of Parliament for
the town, sent check for $500 as soon
as he heard the news. The damages
which will fail upon the Company will
take its entire capital The English
boast that if slow they are solid, care
full and sure, but they have explosions
in mines, railway accidents, fires, ship
wrecks, falling of buildings, and SINH
lar caIamities, as well as other people
In fact there is probably greater loss
of life from such causes in England, in
proportion to the population, than in
any country in Europe

THE REBEL PRISONS OF RICHMOND.
Gen Neal BOWS Experience. The Plot

One day a rebel soldier, who WAS inside,
was shot at and killed by the sentry
So angry were the rebels at this mis-
take, that they tried very hard 70 kill
a Union soldier too, and on several oc-
casions fired into the windows, when
ever one of the prisoners came near
enough to be seen. Gen Dow gave the
following confirmation of the mining Of

4 LAWYER XOnplussed.

1t Is an amusing thing TO observe the
STYLE in which some of the members Of
the bar crOss-examine witnesses in suits
that come up before the magistry Of our
city. The class of lawyers to whom we
allude assume an air of dignifed i'm
portance, and in some cases design to
be witty at the expense of witnesses.
Occasionally, however, they wake up an
original wit, under the force of which
the learned gentlemen must fall
\ case Of this kind recently came up
before a Philadelphia Alderman. II
was a civil action, over which the ma
gistrate had the power to decide. The
cross-eXamination was conducted as
follows
Lawyer Now, sir, YOU say that you
heard the defendant say that he would
pay the plaintiff SD so for the goods
Witness. - did, sir.
LAWYER. "This was in the tavern ?"
Witness. Eyes, sir.
Lawyer. "You are sure YOU heard
the agreement2"
Witness. Yes sir
Lawyer. Now. do YOU say on your

made ?"
Witness Not exactly ON my oath,

Lawyer. What do you mean, sir,
that you say no such thing upon your
oath
Witness. THAT oath. sir, is registered
in heaven; I'm not on it, but I'm I'M

The alderman smiled, the lawyer
looked rather spell-bound- He cOntin-
ued in the following manner:

VeStVali vs.. Armstrong.
SUIT FOR DAMAGES

The theatrical fracas which occurred
at the Academy of Music, of which brief
mention was made in the Union at the
time, and in which prominent Brook
lyn merchant figures in no enviable
manner, is about to come before the
public in legal form. twill be remem-
bered that the lady was so much affect
ed by the rude treatment OF her assall-
ant that she has since been unable to
meet her professional engagements,
sustaining in consequence serious pe-
cuniarv losses. For the recovery Of
these losses she has brought a suit
against Mr.. J. B. Armstrong for dam
ages in several hundred dollars
Mr.. Wheatley has also brought suit
for damages to the amount of 81 1000
against Mr.. Armstrong, alleging that he
j lost that amount by being compelled
to close the Academy on Thursday last
Processes have been served upon the
accused in both these cases by the cOun-
sci of the compliments, and the ac-
cused has given bail to answer at an
early day.
The matter having assumed this Sc
rious and threatening shape, Mr.. Arm
strong has retained the services of Gen.
P S. Crooke for his defence, and it Is
understood will to-day commence an
action against Vestvali for assault and
battery. as more speedy means Of
bringing the case TO a termination. If
he succeeds in sustaining his charge
against the lady, he will not only vindi-
cate himself from the charges which
have been made against him, but will
put an effectual quietus upon the de
mands for damages of both the actress
and the manager.
The case excites a good deal Of inter
est about the City Hall, where much
curiosity is manifested to see Vestvai,
the magnificent, as the defendant in a
suit for assault and battery. But the
friends of the outraged lady predict a
result that will be anything but crafty

Upon the field of Gettysburg,
The summer sun was high,
When freedom met her traitOrous Zoe,
Beneath Northern sky;
Among the heroes of the North,
Who swelled her grand array,
WhOrushed, like mountain eagles forth,
From happy homes away,
There stood man of humble fame,
A sire Of children three,
And gazed within q little frame
Their pictured forms to see;
Anu blame him not if in the strife
He breathes q soldiers prayer
go, Fatheri guard the soldiers wife,
And for his children care
Upon the field of Gettysburg
When morning shone again,
The crimson cloud of battle burst
In streams of fiery rain;
Our legiOns quelled the awful flood
OF shot and steel, and shell,
While banners marked with ball and
blood
Around them rose and fell.
And none more nobly won the name
Of Champion of the Free,
Than he who pressed the little frame
That held his children three;
And none were Drawer in the strife;
Than he who breathed the prayer
40, Father! guard the soldiers wife
And for his children care"
Upon the field of Gettysburg
The full moon slowly rose,
She looked and saw ten thousand brow,
All pale in deaths repOse;
And down beside silver stream,
From other forms away,
Calm as q warrior in a dream,
Our fallen comrade lay.
His limbs were cold, hissightless eyes
Were fixed upon the three,
Sweet STARS that rose in memory's skie:
To light him Ger deaths sea.
Then hOnored be the soldiers life,
And hallowed be his prayer
30, Father guard the soldiers vito
And for his children care"
