BALTIMORE. MONDAY, JULY 5, 1858. In consequence of Ibe celebration of this day ns the National holiday, no paper will be issued from this olfice to-morrow W'e copy, in another column, the opening para graphs of an eloquent and genial article upon the last volumes of Bancroft's History, which appeared in a recent number of the London Athentrum. W'e do so, not merely because of their beauty and ap propriateness to the occasion, but because they come from a quarter which it is the constant and petty effort of so many who arc called our "States men.'' to teach us to regard with suspicion and distrust. W'e confess that it gives us far greater satisfaction to acknowledge one such brotherly and manly tribute, than we could possibly derive from seeing both the STYX and the BUZZARD moored as prizes of war, beneath the broadsides of the windy warriors in the Senate. Sharing with our coun trymen as we do, to the full, the just and honest pride for which every recurring Anniversary of our Independence gives new and ample scope, we are still far from being able to say, with truth, that our feelings as Americans, to-day, are alto gether those of self-congratulation. The event whose memories were mingled, yesterday, with the j worship of a thousand temples, and which, to-day, | will gladden the hearts of many millions—has, we think, its lessons of humiliation, as well as its associations of glory. Gazing upon the magnificent picture of our wealth and power and empire, we find ourselves inquiring, in our own despite, whether the Republic of to-day, with all its grander, stands in as true a majesty before the World, as when it folded but a few weak colonies within its youthful arms.— Are the men of to-day—we involuntarily ask ourselves —the men of the Revolution, and the founders of the Confederation and the Constitu tion? Is there that spirit in the people, and in those whom they appoint to rule over them, which won for our fathers the smile and the bounty of Providence, and made the Declaration of their In dependence an epoch in the history of man ? We cannot answer such questions to ourselves without pain, and it is therefore that we would step aside from the revel of those who are only glad, and ask our readers to think, while others would bid them lie proud and rejoice. No reasonable man, we presume, regards politi cal institutions as a good, in any other light than that of the advantages which they bring and se cure. Things, and not names, are what practical men pursue, so that a curse is in nowise the less a curse, because it may be called a blessing, nor a bad government the less an evil, because it has taken a good name in vain. If a government does not, in; fact, govern, but is the pretext merely of anarchy and license among those who have adopt ed it, we may call it republican, or what we will, it is none the less a misfortune or a crime. If a nation shall make itself known among its fellows, merely by its power and lust of gain—if it shall recognize the obligations of the great family to which it belongs, for no better purpose than to break them—a terror to the weak and a source of j disquietude even lo the strong, it is of little mo- : ment that it be baptized by a reverend name— j nay, it will be the worse, for thus desecrating what | all men regard as holy. Now we are far from desiring to convey the impression, that j in our judgment, the progress of our country has reached the extreme points which we have indica ted. Happily, such things are not yet. But we do mean to express our conviction, that the ten dency of our system, at homo, has been to weaken the bonds of obedience to the law, to impair the public sense of right, and sap the foundations of political and social order. We do mean to say, although with sorrow, that externally our tenden cy las been to encroach upon the rights of our weaker neighbours, and to make them feel our pow er, not in beneficence, but in spoliation: And we care not whether this has been bv the action of our Government, or of our people with the connivance of the Government, or in spite- of its attempted re straint. The result lias been Ihe same, and the spirit which it indicates is identical. Neither do we see any excuse or consolation for these things, in the fact, that our history, in these particulars, is bat the history of other nations, and that we are no worse than our contemporaries and predecessors in the world's annals. If we are no better than the despotisms and monarchies which we despise and denounce, why go through the hypocrisy of pretending to be so? If republican institutions have no better result than the systems which they seek to supersede, why go through the bloodshed and sacrifice of winning thcin? Why bring them to shame, by linking them with failure and disap pointment? Do we place ourselves in the vanguard of the world, only to lead it once again through the sloughs of its old Despond? Our idea of the duties imposed on us by the blessings we enjoy, is, we confess, different. We believe that, in gratitude to God, and in justice to His good gifts and to our selves, we have to gird up our loins for a different task. We believe that our mission upon the earth as a people, is not one of vain-glorious preaching, and rampant self-exultation—but of honest, u|>- right, manly, laborious example. Unless we work out, from our republican institutions and from our national privileges and blessings, a government which is really and practically based upon obe dience and respect; which honors the truth, and reverences right and justice; which despises and punishes license and corruption; which is, in fact, what it vaunts itself to be—our pride will be dis reputable, and our destiny must be disgrace. Nor do we believe that we can avert these calamities, unless, with our whole hearts, we take the matter speedily in hand. Prosperity and power have made us reckless. Luxury and corruption have emasculated the stern manhood of our old repub licanism. We have' gone on-, from step to step, so far, that we must stay our course now, or we shall have no power to arrest it hereafter. It is for this that wo have askorl our countrymen, to-day, to let the voice of warning be heard with the voice of feasting, and in the pride of their pri vileges to remember the solemn responsibility of their duties. Our Monarch, the People, like other potentates, has been cajoled enough by flatterers, and parasites, and court-fools. It is high time that he had learned to hear the truth, and there is no season more appropriate for his doing so, than the anniversary of the day which made him— King. The result of the riots in South Baltimore has been, we are credibly informed, to put an end to the business of those who resist the demands of the conspirators. The Messrs. SKINNER have been compelled to close their ship-yard, and suspend their whole operations. We learn that they con template testing, by a suit, the obligation of the corporation to give them effectual protection in life and property. The sooner thqt question is decided, the better, it seems to us. Business men can then make up their minds to remain or emigrate. Per aps tax-pa\ers will also discover, whether or not it be worth their while to secure the election of competent and faithful municipal officers. FBOF. AHKEND'S CONCERTS.

Isv the arrival of the steamship Tennessee, Cap tain" Forbes, from Vera Cruz, we have dates from that port to'tlic '2oth inst. We have no later direct news froni the city of Mexico, or from San Luis Uo tosi, where, it will be remembered, the frontiermen under (Jen. Vidaurri were opposed to Osollos and Miramon. the commanders of the Zuloaga Govern ment. The accounts published below favor the Juarez Government. Whether they are reliable or not, remains to be seen. We extract the following intelligence from our tiles of the Progreao, the of ficial organ of President Juarez : On Saturday last, 10th inst., at 9.20 A. M., a shock of an earthquake was felt at A'era Cruz.— The shock lasted about fifteen seconds. The Monterey Boletin Official, mentions the ar rival of four pieces of artiilerev at that place, sent from the State of Chihuahua. Sr. Coronado, the commander of the Chihuahua troops, was reported to be marching from Durango to re-establish the Constitutional (Juarez) Government there, liis forces consist of 800 men and a battery. The I'rofjrrxo has a notice of an engagement be tween the Zuloaga forces under Negrete, and the Constitutional troops under J. M. Bello. near Son qnimistla, in the State of l'uebla, on the 10th of June. Col. Negrete was obliged to retreat, not, however, until he had committed great depredations in the neighborhood. The first rifle regiment of the Zuloaga Govern ment stationed at J alapa, pronounced on the 11th inst., in favor of the Constitutional party. Gen. Echeagaray encountered them at Cerro Gor do, and put them to flight. Gen. Manero was killed in the engagement. Gen. Alvarez, who overthrew the last govern ment of Santa Anna, and resigned the Presidency of the Republic in favor of Comonfort, has written a letter to President Juarez, congratulating him on his safe arrival at Vera Cruz, and pledging a cor dial support to his Government. Alvarez, with his pintos, was at I'rovidencia, a hacienda in the northern part of the State of Guerero, cn route for the city of Mexico. Col. Cobos, a leader of the Zuloaga party, has issued, from his headquarters at Cordoba, in the State of Vera Cruz, an order enjoining all to lay down their arms, and submit to the Zuloaga Gov ernment, Gen. Santos Degallado, of the Juarez party, has captured the city of Guadelajara. An engagement between the army under Vidaurri and the troops of Osollos and Miramon is also reported to have taken place. These reports came to Vera Cruz ria the city of Mexico. The recall of Santa Anna was spoken of as a probable event; also the proclama tion of a new constitution, with Osollos as Provis ional President. The seaport of Mazatlan, the only- one on the Pa cific side hitherto in the hands of Zuloaga, is also said to have pronounced in favor of Juarez. The Liberal party in the city- of Mexico were bo ginning to give signs of life. Copies of a little sheet, called "I.a Alarma," were secretlv circulated in the city on the 2d inst., wherein the Government of Zuloaga is denounced in bitter terms, and the Liberals from other parts of the Republic invited to march against the capital, and put an end to the tyrannical government there extant. Sir Jose M. Diaz-Ortas has been elected Govern or of the State of Oajaca. He is an adherent of the Juarez Government.—-V. O. Delta, June 2G. [From Correspondence of the Mohile Register ] CITY OK MEXICO, June 19,1855. There is very great excitement here in conse quence of the armed enforcement on several foreign houses, among which are some American ones, of the "war contribution" recently decreed by- the Government, in defiance of solemn treaty stipula tions, and against which Mr. Forsyth has protested, as you have doubtless heard, in the most energetic terms. Foreigners who refuse to pay- this iniquitous tax arc charged with contumacy by the Govern ment, and threatened with banishment. Indeed, an American merchant has already been furnished with a passport, ordering him to leave the Republic (! i within three days. As this refusal to"pay is in strict accordance with the advice publicly given by the American Minister to his countrymen", this last arbitrary measure is clearly and offensively directed at liim, and has prompted a very curt note to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. A suspension of all official intercourse with the Mexican government will probably- be the grave consequences, though the government fully expected that Mr. F. would indignantly demand his passports, which is exactly- what they wanted, be ing desirous of getting rid of the ablest and most uncompromising diplomatic officer by whom it has ever been forced to do unwilling justice, at any price whatever. Such an irresponsible government fears not even the wrath of Uncle Sam, knowing that it's own existence will hardlv last a month. Never was American influence or the prestige of the American name as great here as now. The course of Mr. F. has won the admiration of his countrymen and all the foreigners throughout the Republic. The French Minister, Marquis de Gabri ac, who sided with the government, is universally anathematised by- the French and others under hfs diplomatic protection, while Englishmen say- that Mr. Otway might have followed with more graceful alacrity in the footsteps of his colleague of the United States. Meantime bands of soldiers are vis iting the counting rooms of merchants and embar going their goods. At San Luis I'otosi respectable Englishmen have been compelled to inarch in the ranks of common soldiers for refusing to pay a new "contribution." The baleful fires of civil war continues to burn all over the country, and thinking men gravely ask each other where the colossal saturnalia is to end. In view of the unprecedented condition of the country at large, and of the government here, which H moneyless, and must sell territory to the United States, or fall soon, 1 cannot help thinking that Mexican nationality is approaching its end, and that there is a strong probability that the mis sion of Mr. Forsyth will be the laxt viisrion from the United States here. The most intelligent Mexicans and the mass of the foreigners, except, perhaps, the Spaniards, are warmly in favor of the extension hither of the power of that country. The English eagerly desire it as the only method of securing their enormous claims so long unpaid. The throes are quick and violent, and 1 am anxious to be in at the death of the sick man. The witnesses of the national demise would afford much curious and valuable instruction and offer such opportunities of observation and experience as are rarely enjoyed by the most fortunate in this life. THE LATE MADEMOISELLE RACIIEL. Mademoiselle Sarah Felix, the sister of the late Mademoiselle Rachel, yesterday brought an action before the Civil Tribunal against Madame O'Con nell. the well-known artist, to obtain damage's for having pirated a design belonging to her. Made moiselle Sarah, it appeared, on the death of her sister at Cannes, on the lid of January last, caused a photographer to take a likeness on her death-bed. He obtained one remarkable for its exactitude, but it was, as was said, "horrible to witness," inas much as it represented her features as they were contracted in the agony of death. As Mademoiselle Sarah's object in having the photograph taken was to preserve a memorial of the deceased for her family and a few friends, she saw that it would not be possible to offer them any thing so disagreeable to look at, and she accord ingly employed a photographer of Paris, named Gnemar, to soften it down. She made both the photographers sign agreements, by which they bound themselves to take all possible precautions to prevent either the original photograph or the modi fication of it from getting into the hands of the public. But Gliemar imprudently allowed Madame O'- Connell to take a copy of it, and she having made some alterations in it, caused MM. Goupil, the well known printsellers, to offer copies of it for sale.— .Mile. Sarah protested against this proceeding, and caused a seizure to be made of the copies unsold. In support of her action certificates were produced from Count de Nieuwerkerke, Director General of the Imperial Museums, and from other artis tic authorities, to the effect that Madame o'- Connell's photograph was undoubtedly a pira cy, and it was contended that the original pho tograph was not only the exclusive property of Mad'lle. Sarah, but that in law no persons except the members of Rachel's own family had the right to represent her on her death bed, inasmuch as, though she had been a public performer, all that regarded her private life was as sacred as that of any other person. It was added that Mile. Sarah's intention was to give to the poor any damages the tribunal might award her, her object in bringing the action being to prevent pictures of Rachel on her death bed from being sold to the public. On the part of Madame O'Connell it was admitted that she had seen the photographs in the hands of Ghamar, and had to a certain extent been inspired by it: but it was contended that her work was so different from that in many respects that it must be consider ed original. It was also insisted that Madame O'Connell had the right to produce portraits of Rachel, living or dead, as from Rachel's artistic eminence she was public property. It was accordingly demanded not only that the actor should be dismissed, but that 5,0U0f. damages should be awarded to her for the wrong done her in bringing it, and bv the seizure. After hearing the public prosecutor, who declared himself in favor of MadetnoiselleSarah's action, the tribunal postponed judgment for a week. GAI.IGNAXI. fFrom the London Morning Slar.\ A SCENE AT THE HERTFORDSHIRE ELECTION. A most painful scene occurred at Hertford on Tuesday, the lsth. Toward the close of the pro ceedings of the Hertfordshire election just after Sir Edward had concluded his address with a fer vent tribute of admiration to the womanly beauty exhibited in the long line of open carriages, chaises and vans drawn up in front of the hustings, there was 1111 unwonted stir in the crowd, which parted to admit of the passage of a hired brougham from one of the town inns. The carriage having stopped, two ladies alighted one of thqrn an extremely handsome woman, of about fortv-five years of age, with fresh complex ion, and with eyes of dazzling beauty. The lady who was evidently laboring under excitement which exercised all her powers to control, advanced as nearly as she could through the crowd toward the hustings, and announced herself as the wife of the Right Son. Sir E. B. Lytton, stating that she had come according to a promise made hv her to con front her husband, and to expose the wrongs which she said he had indicted upon her, and which she had described in her works and in a pamphlet pub lished by her. The appearance of the lady was not unexpected, as her coming had been annouueed in bills and placards; but. owing to a deception which had been practiced upon her "by some persons in the town who had introduced themselves to her, she was de tained m the town while the election was proceed- L thus frustrated.*" It'was^nearly des '^ n ™uld Recognized as goon na , , nearly drowned by the shouts ofSir VrT V °^ G porters, but Sir Edward's eve caughttf w , ard 8 face paled. He looked like an,an suddenTy Vtacked by paralysis. Those near him sav he , J ceedingly. For a few moments he retained 1°- 6X ~ sition in front of the hustings, but turned hi'h P( k on the unwelcome visitor. Then he .uddenlv d ? appeared below the hustings platform, while hi" wife cried "Coward," and he having hastily signed the usual declaration, escaped into the residence of THE DAILY EXCHANGE, JULY 5, 1858. the gentleman on whoße grounds the election took place. Ladv Lvtton continued to address the audience \ assembled for more than a quarter of an hour, re peating her statements in her pamphlet, and assert ing her intention to confront her husband on every possible occasion until she compelled him t*> redress her wrongs. Her ladyship subsequently made an application to the Mayor for the use of the Town Hail, for the purpose of making a public statement; but this being refused her, she left the town early in the afternoon. Lady Lytton arrived in Hertford at 3 o'clock on the morning of the election, having posted from Taunton, where she resides. Itis need less to say that the event described has caused the greatest possible excitement in Hertfordshire. THE CROPS. onio. The crop of wheat in Belmont county will be a heavy one. The Weevil is doing some damage, but this is not extensive. The corn crop is doing well. Oats bid fair for a good crop. Tobacco looks well. The crop of all kinds of fruit will be light. In Mi ami countv there is a favorable prospect for a wheat crop. Oats look well; Rye ditto. The corn crop promises to be largely deficient. The prospects for a corn crop seem to be blasted in the Scioto Valley—the chief corn-growing sec i tion of the State. The farmers have discovered that all the corn that was up before the freshet has ; been killed by sediment deposited between the ! leaves, whilst that which was not up is generally rotten. Overflowed wheat fields are dead and rot ting. INDIANA. In Owen county, the prospect for a corn crop is bad. There is, however, a good crop of wheat, and oats and grass look well. As to hogs there will be an average supply. In Randolph county, there will he ahont one halt of a crop of wheat. Early- oats are doing well. Corn sections, planted in the latter part of April and first of May, look fine. There will be a large quan tity of Buckwheat sowed in this county. In Dearborn county- crop prospects are discour aging. Cheat and smut have injured the wheat, and there will be only half a crop. Corn will be correspondingly short; hay is also deficient. In Jefferson county, the average number of acres of corn have been planted, the most of which is up and doing well. The wheat and other small grain never were better or promised fairer, with this sin gle exception—the rains have caused the heavy wheat to fall, which will make it difficult to put. ILLINOIS. In Henry county, the wheat fields, which a few weeks ago looked so promising, are now some of them under water; and all, to the farmer's practiced eve are unpromising. " Last year the corn crop was light, and a large proportion of it of too poor a quality to keep for market; and this year the crop will be still lighter. Altogether, the prospects for the crops this season arc exceedingly unpromising. In Jersey county, the prospect for a most abun dant yield of wheat continues good. The army worm is at work, hut has done no material damage. There will probably be a very good yield of corn this year, though much of the ground laid out for the purpose will remain unplanted. The Illinois State Journal say- of the whole State, that the wheat crop is considered to be good and a pretty- large amount in; though the rains have in jured wheat even, in many parts, not very serious ly, however. The corn crop, which is the staple of the South, is unusually late, especially in the large, level prairies, and indeed, the bulk is not yet plant ed; while such as is planted and is up, is losing fast on account of the wet. In Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin and other counties further South, where the lands are more undulating, the prospect is bet ter, as there have seldom been, notwithstanding the very frequent heavy rains of the past three months, more than two or three days together during which farmers could not work more or less. It is evident there will be a considerable amount of eorn in Egypt this year, although the prospect is and has been gloomy. There is also a great deal of fruit of all kinds, and an uncommon promise of cherries, orchard plums, and other fancy berries and fruits, but not so many apples, peaches, or pears. There is also a good crop of woods "mast," such as nuts, acorns and grapes. And in respect of crops, it may be said that, from the alluvial, undulating location of lands in Egypt, they have gained a marked advantage over their brethren north, this rainy- season. Harvest operations commenced on the IGth at Monticello and in the I'iasa regions. The grain stands well, and the harvest, with this beautiful weather, promises greatly. The fears of rust, cut worm, lodging, &.C., are mostly groundless, as yet. MISSOURI. In Calaway- county, notwithstanding the long wet term, the crops promise a liberal yield. The wheat on the fiat land is somewhat injured, and in some cases is dying out, but on the uplands the crops are very heavy and indicate a larger yield than for several years. The oat crop also promises well, and the grass never was heavier or better. Corn has been very much injured by the rains. In Jasper county the wheat crop "will be a much better yield than was anticipated. Many farmers sav they will reach about an average crop. Grass will be about an average. The yield of oats will be abundant; many farmers say- tfieir oat prospects have not been so fine for several years. Corn, though not so well advanced as usual, looks very promising. ARKANSAS. The present season has been unusually rainy. Throughout the entire valley of the Arkansas, and indeed the whole State, the complaint of the back wardness of the crops lias been almost general. The cotton crop will not average more than half the usual yield. The corn crop is very backward, and there is no judging, at this time, whether it will be a short or an average one. Oats, in many parts, particularly in Saline and the neighboring counties, are a failure, and many of the farmers will not even save seed. Wheat, from the great breadth of land sown, may, in the aggregate, come fully up to the yield of last year, but the product of each acre will not probably4>e more than half the amount. TENNESSEE. In Jackson county the cotton crop is suffering from the lice The oat crop is almost an entire failure, caused by the rust. Corn looks tolerably well, and the wheat (now harvesting) will turn out about two-thirds of a crop. KENTUCKY. The oat crop in Nelson and Washington counties promises indifferently. In the bottoms it is almost an entire failure, while that growing on the uplands is ruining from ravages of rust. The wheat crop is looked to with great anxiety. The corn looks well, anil without extraordinary drought there is no reason to doubt a fair crop. IOWA. There never was a better prospect for crops in lowa than at the present time. Wheat, oats and grass are doing first-rate, and corn, though late, shows every appearance of coming out well. MINNESOTA. The corn is up and growing finely, and so with ail other kinds of grain—oats and wheat especially look well. The promise of an abundant harvest is everywhere apparent. GEORGIA. Crops between Atlanta and Augusta never looked more promising. The stands of corn and cotton are good, and the appearance of the plant healthy. In the counties of Talbot and Marion the corn and cotton crops are very promising, and some two or three weeks more forward than last year: about an average of each planted compared with the last. Wheat in some localities has yielded abundantly, while in others it has proved a com plete failure, in consequence of the rust and smut. Oats, in the gray lands, are worthless, having been completely ruined by rust, but in red lands they are some better, and* will make seed. AN IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE SOUTH. An educational movement was commenced some time since under the auspices of the ten Southern Bishops of the Episcopal Church. The design originated with Bishop Polk, of Loui siana, in 185(1. During the year he succeeded in obtaining the co-operation of the Bishops of the Dioceses included within the plan, and it was subse quently fully endorsed by the clergy and laitv at all the Diocesean Conventions. These Conventions appointed trustees to meet in conference and settle tlie plan of proceeding, and organize a system for co-operation. That Convention of trustees met on the 4th of July last, at the Lookout Mountain, in the vicinity of Chattanooga, in the State of Ten nessee. The Bishops, with lay delegates from most of the States, and trustees duly chosen, formed a numerous body of distinguished men. They framed a declaration of principles and basis of action for the founding of a university on an ex tensive scale; completed the permanent organiza tion of a board of Trustees and appointed Business Committees for the preparation of a charter, the collection of information on the subject of a site, the preparing of the ways and means, and the de termining of the whole mode of proceedurejn the work. The board then adjourned to meet at "Mont gomery, Ala., in November last. At that Convention, which was also fully attend ed, a site was unanimously agreed upon for the lo cation of the University, subject only to the con dition that a satisfactory arrangement could be made with the proprietors of the property, and that an act of incorporation acceptable to the board could be obtained from the State of Tennessee.— The title selected was that of "University of the South." The place selected for the site is at Sewannee, on the plateau of the Cumberland Mountains, in the State of Tennessee; and the domain secured to the University, by incontestiblc title, consists of six thousand acres of land, of which land the beautv, salubrity, accessibility, and other physical advan tages of the spot, Bishop Polk—who was Chairman of the Committee on Locations—speaks in the fol lowing glowing terms, as singularly adapted to the wants and uses of the University : I have visited all the places offered, and examined them with an eye specially directed to the particu lars required to be combined in a location suitable for our purposes, and I have no hesitation in saving that the one chosen, is pre-eminently in advance of every other presented. Its health is unrivalled, its water abundant and pure, it is surrounded by a country of rare vertility and beauty and great ex tent, it has easy access to any amount of fuel in the forest and mines; building material of several va rieties of sand and lime stone is abundant and at the door; lumber of the best description and in any quantity is as readily at hand. It is in the centre of a domain of above 6,000 acres of land secured to the University, and is reached with perfect fa cility by a railroad running through the centre of this domain and connecting infmediately with that system of railroads which as radii penetrate the whole circle of the surrounding States. The climate is among its greatest attractions. It is as cool as new England in summer, is free from its intense rigors in winter, and its elevation ex empts it from the chilling damps of the New Eng land spring, and at the same time raises it above the level of the intermittents of our Southern au tumn. In short, we have reason to be grateful to God for having thrust down into our cotton zone a plateau so accessible and so admirably adapted in every particular as a refuge for our children dur ing the period of their educational training, and so well fitted lor the development of their mental, moral and physical natures. This tract has been given to the University by trie proprietors of the adjacent territory, with ad ditional facilities, among which is the right to cut pine timber on the other property for builting pur- ! poses, to the amount of a million of feet: the privil- j ego of transporting 20,000 tons of building stones or j other material, free of freight, on the railroad; and a free donation of 2,000 tons of coal from the adja- i cent mines. The preliminary steps for the establishment of a great University arc thus far completed in the most satisfactory manner. COLLISION AT SEA BETWEEN TWO PHILADELPHIA VESSELS—PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE.— On Wednesday night, about 12 o'clock, the schooner Klisha T. Smith, Captain Lee, and Triumph, Captain Artis, both from Philadelphia for Boston, coal laden, were in company about a quarter of a mile distant, Cape Cod bearing S. E. bv S. live miles oft'. The night was clear and both vessels had been in company over four hours, and consequently were seen each from the other. The E. T. Smith was to windward and a little astern, when a severe N. E. squall com pelled both vessels to shorten sail. The Triumph hauled her jib down, w as brought head to the wind, and had stern way, but her companion, when the squall struck her, up helm, evidently with the in tent.on of passing to leeward. In attempting to do so, sliestruck the Triumph on the starboard quarter with such violence that all hands supposed she would sink, and jumped on board the E. T. Smith, except James Hawes, the cook, who was below. The Triumph was thrown on the other tack by the collision, and when the vessels separated, was headed to the eastward. Capt. Artis, seeing her still afloat, savs that he urged Captain Lee to put about, and enable him to regain his vessel—at all events, to save the cook; but he would not, alleging as an excuse that his own vessel might be driven ashore, although the land was five miles distant, the squall past, and no apparent danger near—so both cook and vessel were left to their fate. The E. T. Smith arrived here this forenoon with the crew of the Triumph on board, who hail lost everything. The Triumph belonged to Bridge town, X. J., was eight years old, valued at SB,OOO, and had on board 230 tons of coal. She is not in sured. The E. T. Smith had her jib-boon and head gear carried away, but sustained very little damage in her hull; it is very probable, therefore, that the Triumph was not as badly damaged as her captain and crew imagined, and may yet be picked up.— Against this supposition, however, is the fact that her lame side was brought to leeward by the colli sion, and consequently open to the water.—Ronton Traveler, Ist in*t. QUARANTINE AT BOSTON. —The Boston Quarantine authorities, a day or two since, were thrown into a ferment from the discovery that the ship Tropic, which had arrived from Havana, had lost a number of her crew by yellow fever, and that the steward's wife, who had died of the disease, had been brought home in a barrel of spirits. The vessel had come to the <lock without even stopping at quarantine. She was sent hack for purification. Some of the New York merchants have lately ordered their captains, who have gone to Havana, not to load for New York, on account of the deten tion to which they will be subjected at our Quaran tine, but to go to Boston or Philadelphia. But Boston, too, appears to be waking up to the neces sity of protecting the public health. They must be on their guard, or they may lose the consign ment of a cargo of molasses. STORM IN MINERVA, OHIO THREE PERSONS KILLED. —On Sunday morning, 27th inst., a violent storm occurred at Minerva, doing considerable dam age, killing three persons and striking many others. A daughter of Mr. Miller, near Havard, was killed: also two teachers at the meeting house in Troy, the house being sadly damaged, the floor torn up, Ac. Mrs. Frvett and the oldest daughter were violently struck, another daughter was struck in the knee, breaking the skin and passing down the leg. The family were all together at the time. Drs. Dibble and Keelv were also stunned: indeed, all the inhab itants of Minerva were more or less att'ected. NEW USES or COTTON. —Every year developes some new use of cotton, which takes the place of other materials, sometimes openly and as an im provement, and sometimes by fraudulent admixture. Many of the fabrics called "wool and silk contain more of cotton than of the material of which they profess to be made, and many articles for which cot ton was till lately thought to be an unsuitable mate rial, are proved to be better made from that than from the fabrics that were originally supposed alone to be adapted to them. The Charleston Courier announces that a process has been discovered by which cotton can be com pressed into a solid form, harder than wood, imper vious to the elements, tire-proof and water-proof, and capable of use for building purposes, at about one third the cost of brick.

Wood's Hair Restorative,* 1 am prepared to say, that it fully makes good its recommendations, by restoring to more than its original lustre, hair that has become gray, or faded from age or disease. It will give the hair a soft and pliable texture, and what is of still great r import ance than that, it is restored to health; it imparts to the whole system its renovating, healing properties, and has a tendency to restore health and prolong life, and give to the aged the appearance of youth. Its unequalled proper ties ought to recommend it to every family. Try it, ye who labor under any disease of the head, and you will never have cause to regret its application.
