I They went down to one of the eating-
houses near the Fulton market to dine,
about two o'clock, and then the girls began
to talk of moving for the boat, which left
at four. Their companion insisted _ that
they should stay and see the fireworks in
Itbe evening, and said he. had an aunt who
hep-t a fashionable boardingbouse, where
theyicould stay all night, anrl return home
next morning. Jane protested that. they
must go back that night, but Susan, with
a sly wink, said they could as well stay
over, but they must go down to the boat,
and send word by the Captain to her father,
who would be waiting for them at the
landing. Jane with much seeming reluc-
tance assented,and away the three started
for the boat. They were obliged to wait,
because Susan could not find the Captain,
and itwould not do to send the tnessage
by anybody else. Three o’clock came;
and then half-past three, then a quarter to
fnutt—stIill Susan could not find the Cap-
tain. They were standing by the gang-
way when the last bell rang. It tolled,
the ropes were being cast oti‘, when Susan,
with a wink, at Jane, said, that on the
whole, she believed she would 1,20 home,
and the two girls stepped on board the
boat just as they were pulling in the
plank.
Much obliged for your politeness,“ said
Susan, with a merry laugh, and speaking
to the Isparker-gallant, who .-tood on the
pier— “remember me to your aunt.”
“ And me too,” said June, laughing also.
“ and if ever you come (l0,;\'n our way tell
us how you enjoyed the fire-works. l’m
sure you won’t forget us.”
Vvhen the boat was under way the
girls broke" out in a real Jersey laugh.
“ You did'nt lose your purse l” asked
June. I .
“Here it is,” said Jane, to speak for
itself and some of the r'ogue's money in it
too. {Only tbink,:that fifty Itlollar counter-

“But suppose,” said June, earnestly,
“that we should be mi'sta'-en, and he not

"‘-But the chap made‘ a mistake-he’s
not had much acquaintance with Jarsey

in a way which expressed the satisfaction
she felt at the result of her Fourth ofduly

flgcs of Gen. Taylor and the Presidents
Gen. Taylor was born in Orange county
Virginia, on the '2-I-th of November, 1784.
Of course he will be sixty-four years of
age on his“ birth-day this year, Gen‘.
Cass is two years older than TayloIr, hav-
ing been born" at Ext-.te_r,'New Hampshire,
on the 9th of October, 1789.. Mr. Van
Buren was born at Kinderhook, the same
year with"Gen. Cass, viz: December 5,
1782!. The following have beenthe ages
of the Presidents of the United States, at
the time of their election to the executive
chair :-—‘ ‘ 'I
1 \Vasl1ington I 57 7 Jackson 61
'2 John Adams , 61 8 Van Bureu 54
3 Jefferson I 57 9 Harrison 67
4 Madison 57 10 Tyler 50
5 Monroe . 5'7 11 Polk 49
(5 .lo11uQ. Adams .57 12 Taylor 64
The average of the above ages is about
57 1-2 years, and it is a curious circum-
stance that five of our twelve Presidents
have been of the age of 57 at the time of
their election. Harrison was the oldest
of the Presidents and Polk the youngest
when elected ——VVz'lli'am'.s- Jllonual.
‘.5 llfedding Spoz'led.—On Sunday night,
in the upper part of our city,says the N. Y.
Globe, a clerk in an importing store was
to have been married to a young lady, the
daughter of a‘ respectable mechanic. A
select party were in attendance; and as
atlie ceremony was about proceeding, the
mirth was checked by a sudden entrance
ofa female, with a child in her arms, who.
rushed up to the intended bridegroom and
claimed him as the father of the child.-
Fora few minutes all was consternation.
The young man denied that he had seen
the woman before, and said she was de-
ranged. The faiher was indignant, and
for a time he did not know which to believe,
when the affair was ended by the female
pulling out a Daguerreotype likeness of
the young man, and exhibiting it to him,
said, “ You don't know me; you didn't
give me this in Ncwburgh, when you said
you'd marry me.” By this time the young
lady who had nearly been made the victim
of a sconndrel, was taken, insensible from
the room. The father was about sending
for the police when, upon looking round,
he found that the fellow had left. The
matter ended for that night, and the next
day tbefemale t\‘l]0l_Tl be bad ruined, made
complaint beforc the authorities. »
3:?‘ In a New York court, a few days
since, during the progress of the trial of
a sea captain for unmercifully flogging a
sailor, the council for the prisoner insist-
ed on the witness describing how the oili-
cer flogged the man. The sailor, happen-
ing to have a rope in his hand examining
it, in double quick time laid it over the
lawyer’s shoulders, to the amusement of
the court, andprobably the infinite satis-
faction of the victim. -

Gen. Taylor in Canada.
The Kingston British \Vliig of the 14th inst.
thus speculates upon the result of our recent
Election. It will be seen that they understand
the workings of the Democratic policy. for better
than many of its honest advocates in this coun-
try. These extracts speak volumes. »
“it would appear by our Telegraphic
Report that Gen. Taylor has been elected
President of the United States of America.
Prior to his election the hopes of the
Whig party were very strong, and, -it is
seen by the result that their hopes were
well foun_ded._ \Ve hardly know whr-ther
we should congratulate the country on
this elevation ofI Gen. Taylor ornot. He
himself is an estimable man, and his party
is composed ofnearly all the wealth and
intelligence of the Union; but on the other
hand that party is, and ever has been up-
posed to a low Tariff and the introduction
of British goods. The cry is Protection
for native productions. Whert-as Gen.
Cass and the Democrats, although oppo-
nents in speech to Great Br’i'.:1in and her
interests, have always advocated a low
Tariff and Free Trade. Thus while the
Whigs speak the fairest to Great B'_ritain_,
and treat her with the utmost courtesy,
they clone the ports to her merchandise
and manufactures; while the Democrats
furious in denunciation, and threatening
war every instant, nevertheless freely
admit and consume the commodities of
the nation they provoke.”

beis better than Cass or Van Buren. Cass
is out-and-out anti-Briti’sh——if he had been

The following from the Springfield. ¥Re-
publicau of the 17th inst. the day= after,
gives an interesting-account of this great
dam, and its:desItructionI‘ :-I- ' - i
“From the-first‘, considerable I imperfec-
of: thegates,-which appeared to have been
water was allowed to escapefrotn that part
of the; dam." '- Measures were taken for
stopping the leak by. placingIgravel,‘brush,
&c,. over the defective part. ~ These efforts
were continued, but without: the desired
--success, until it became evidentI that theI
structure was likely to giveway, when the
dam was cleared of.Itbe persons upon it,
and crowds awaited in suspense on the
sides to witness the end that was to come.
They-had not long to wait In a. few
minutes a breach was made at the imperfect
point, which widened with great rapidity,
and almost immediately three-fourths of
the whole structure were,svvep't away, leav-
ing but a small portion on each side-—
When the water broke through the pond it
had filled to.within'sevel'al feet of the top,
and the peat upwaters rushed forth with
mighty power and dashed and l.l.lUll.)le(l'0Vel'
the rocky bed below, sweepingaway with
them the now broken andscattered but still
huge portions of -the wrreck. -‘The scene
was both magnificent and I frightful. To
describe it were impossible—no pen limner‘
could convey a tithe of the impression that
is vividly marked on the mind of all who
witnessed it. , Strong hearts trembled with-
in ther_n,and~ every face was -pale at the
sight. The labor of many minds and hun-
dreds of hands for a_ long summer—the
pride and the Icoufideuce ‘of the construc-
tors, just in the hour of triumph, -were
swept of? in an instant; and nought but
the huge wreck that remains, ispleft to tell
of the mightiest»structureIof the dharacter,
that was ever built in this ‘country.
Had not the dam gave‘. way at its centre
as it did a breakage would probably soon
have occurred at the western abutment.
The massive stones composing the sides of
the bulk heads there were upheaving under
the immenseI pressure of the water, and it
was at that point that the greatest danger
wasnpprehcnded. Had the water forced
itself through here, it would -have swept
over the whole village and caused almost
unimaginable injury. I
Notwithstanding the many rumors to the
contrary, we cannot learn that a single life
was lost on this occasion. I"lundreds of
men and women and children crossed. the
dam on the top and below, during the day ;
but the approaching calamity gave such
warning of its coming as tIoI drive all from
the most exposed points, and it is believed
that no one perished in the flood.
The dam, which has been destroyed, was
over one thousandfect long, and about-thit-
ty feet high. It was constructed of im-
mense timbers, fastened together and to‘ the
rocks of the river bed, on which the whole
structure rested, with iron bolts.
l\'L~.n.\:uz Rssrt-:LiL.—TherIe seems to be
some doubt as to the whereabouts of this
notorious criminal. She was sentenced to
the penitentiary-—as we understand it-for
one year from the 11th of November, 1847;
but at her own request was permitted to re-
maiuin the City Prison soxneinonths pIend-
ing the result ofyber counsel’s- application
for anew ‘trial. This time, Ithe District
Attorneysays, forms no part of her term in
