A sub-marine diver from Buffalo has atlast succeeded in raising the safe of tlie- American Express ompany, which was lost when the steamer Atlantic was sunk off Long Pointin 1852. It will be re- collected, that this steamer was instantly sunk by colliding with a propeller, and that a large number of passengers were lost. ’l‘he diver was protected by cop- _per armour, and was under water forty

minutes, during which time he had some strange adventures. The upper deck of the steamer lies one hundred and sixty feet under water, and far below where, there is a current or motion. Every thing there is exactly as it first went down. When the diver aliglited upon the deck, he was saluted by a beautiful .Iaily, whose clothing was well arranged and her hair elegantly dressed. As he approached her, the motion of the water caused unoscillatioii of the head, as ll graccf-iiily bowing to liini. She was staiiding erect with one hand grasping‘ the rigingg. Around lay the bodies 01 several others as if sleeping. Children holding their friends by their hands, and mothers with their babies in their arms were there. In the cabin the furniture was still tnitouch_cd by decay, and to all appearance had just been arranged by some careful and tasteful hand.

In the ctlice he found the sale, and was-enabled to move it with ease, an took it upon degk where the grappling irons were fristened on, arid the prize brought safely to light.» Upon opening the safe, it displayed its contents in a perfect state of preservation. 'l‘h_ci-e was in the safe .~j55t)lJl) in gold, $3500 in bills of the Lx‘ovci'ninciit Stock Batik and it large tiinoiiiit oi bills on other banks, aiuouiitiii-,r in all to about $36,000. 'l'lie papers were uiiiiijtii'cLl, except that they sniclled very strongly of decayed huniuii bodies, as ifthcy had lafn for so mtltiy

ears in ucolliii with their owner. Uf

course. all this money goes to the persons interested in this woiidcrful adventure.

Profcssnr Hinck, the Court architect has furnished a design for the re-tirrange- merit ofthe iiitcriorofthe so-called “ Uld 4King’s Palace." the destined fiittire re- sidence of the young Prince and his English consort. Up to the present time the rooms and their furniture have been left exactly as they _ were _«'_1l the time of the death of Fredrick Ylrilliclm III. On the tables there are still to be found his books, newspapers, spectacles and writing,implements_, as well as the many nieinentoes he eherisliedof his de- ceased Queen Louisa, the most pronun- eiit of which to the stranger’: eye is her tambour frame, with a lmll-ﬁnished

iece of embroidery in it. One of the

rst changes prodticed by the betrothal of the young» Prince with the Princess Victoria. and strikingly emblemati- cal of the future changes that will take

lace here, when the well-known sym- pathies of the young Prince and his fa- ther have free opening to exhibit them- selves, is that Count Dohna, the High Chamberlain of the Court, has to turn out of a suite of rooms, that he had been pr, mitted by the good-nature of the Ifing to inhabit, on the ground ﬂoor. count Dohna is a member of the so_c_alled Cauiarillae to which so much evil inﬁii- ence is attributed in Prussia.

IRISHMEN AND Aiuititioiins.--\Vlien the danger ofa rupture between Great Britain and the United Statesofew weeks since appeared more imniinent than at present, the Weekly Telegra h a Dublin paper of great circulation he an eloquent appeal to the Ciitholics of America on the subject. They are advised to withhold all support from the Yankees in the event of war. They are told, and truly, that they are treated as aliens, and their religion with contempt by the filliliusters in the Senate, as well as those who style tliemsclves “ Know-iiotliings” and their sympathisers. In fact, the Catholics are informed publicly —what those in America have found out to their cost—that they have nothing like the liberty in the States they could enjoy in Ireland, or in any portion of her Miijesty's dominions. It is pleiisiiiit (says the London Standard) to hear these truths told b_v the lVeelrly Tell-_;ri-apli, ii joiirinil devoted to the Church oflt nine --ii t-osiiiopolite, who accrue to care for nu land, no hoine--whose whole object and nun is the in-.i-vice ofthe Clitircli.

SEVERE tx'si.t:—I)is.is1'r.ns rinonc THE FisiieIt.\utN.—'l‘lie ale that visitml this place on the night of 'I‘iir-sday the Utli inst. has been felt with great severity in the more eastern and not-tlierii parts of the Gulf. In the northern pin-t of the island of Cape Breton it caused considerable damage to the crops, which in many places have it scorched and blighted appearance, both from the effect of the lightning, and from the severity ofthe wind and rain by which it was accompanied. Further northward, however, the storm was felt with much greater severity, and on the coast ofLabra- dor, has caused an immense destruction of ﬁshing vessels, but happily without the usual melancholy accompaniment of the loss oflife. \Ve learn from the report of Capt. Mayo, ofthe Schr. Romp, from the coast of Labrador, at'I’liiister Cove, Strait fCanso, on Monday 2lst inst. , that thirty-

as in case none ofthe wrecks could be re- paired, the crews of the wrecked vessels, 352 men in all, might perish for want of shelter and provisions.

_,'I‘he said Capt. Mayo, immediately con- sented for the cause of humanity to remain at all liaszards, and take off ilie Island as many ofthe shipwrecked seamen us possi- ble, although in doing so, he must deviate from the intended voyage to Pictou afore- said, forego of coal, and run the risk ofin- sureiice.

The Romp brought 3] of the wrecked seamen to the States—tlie remainder were following in other vessels. The persons arrived there speak of the gale as having been the most terriﬁc ever experience on that coast. Persons residin there for eighteen years, say that such it gale had not been experienced during that time at any season ofthe year.

We have forborne to make on comments on the conduct of Mr. John Villiamc, the under Sheritf, with respect to the Special Jury in the case of M‘ an and Wlielan, because .Vl‘l.esn has been ordered by the Court to put in by the first day of next term a full answer to the allegations contained in M‘Leon‘e iiﬂ'adavit,and its the consequences attendant on that answer may be of the utmost importance to Mr. Williams, we do not wish to antici the judgment of the Court. He will have the beiiefitof is fair hearing, and we doubt not tliatjustice will be We have no scru- ples however in the case ofassiiult in which he has been ﬁned £5. This is afail actompli and we shall deal with it accordingly. "ie facts were simply these, Mr. Williams had a

wi-itof eapias to serve upon it man ofthe name ol'Dunn, or Dunning ; in order to execute this writ he went to the sliipyiiid ol M‘Leod and M‘I{eiizie at New London rind having inquired for M‘Kenzie asked him if it person work- ing on the stage was Dunn ; on being answered in the aﬁii-mative,Williaiiis then attempted to mount the stage but failed in consequence as Mc,Kenv.ic asserts of being tipsy : Williams then asked Dunn to come down, to which Dunn

\ illiome then pulled a pistol out of his pocket and said if on don’t come dowii,I’ll shoot you and pointe the pistol at him ; Dunn said are away. I would as soon die here its any whore else; Dunn subsequently got of the stage and ran away and Wil ionic run after him with the pistol in his hand ; Williunis subsequently come to M'Kenzie’I (the witness before the Grand Jury) house and hold him, that Dunn had better settle it,for that he might have and at him if he chose. We have given the words of the witness which were corroborated by Dunn. One hardly knows in what light to present such a transaction to our renders. The scene itself must have been ludicrous in the extreme. The idea of poor John trying to climb the scaffold and failing. his then euﬁcring himself to belicvc,thct the invitation of ode. puty slierif to come down and be taken to jail would be accepted to a man. The imperious and authoritative demand to surrender, the cool urcutic reply, the insulted majesty of the low, instead of summoning the paste commilaliu

of naturally ungovernablo passions, oferl -,provocations, which it in almost impossible for A iiu to resist without having recourse to vio- ilence, and which sometimes sorely try the lpnticuccc of the best regulated tempers. We jmiglit have pointed out the sad consequences that may and must inevitably accoiiipuny the oc ‘cur ofa man, capable of conducting him- self in the manner Williams has pleaded guilty of having acted, but we think that there II no occasion, they are obvious to the most unreﬂect- ing. We might have launched out in o well deserved invectivc against the hecdlescnese and cruelty ofintrustiug a man with the execution ofun office of so much importance to the cues and-well being ofsociety,wlio is not sufficiently master ofliimsclfto abstain from intoxicating stimulants. It is absolutely necessary that: the under sherifflhould vo itrmed,for he has to cope with the most rock ‘F8 and unprincipled characters, but it is equiilly necessary that his mind should be as free as possible from unne- cessary excitciuent.

When we heard of the passing of the Bill giving to the ndininistritticn ofthe day the pow- er of appoiutin sheriffs. we were almost cer- tain it would e abused. Did the under siicrilfreuiain in office as is the casein England, let the High Slicriﬁ} be, who he mi ht, per- haps no great danger would follow, ut as in the present case, when both lligh Sheriff and Under Sheriff are appointed by the party

. in power, the consequences may be the most

disastrous. Every thing connected with the administration of justice should be free from the inﬂuence of party lpirlt, which however it may impair, can add neither to its dignity not eﬂicieiicy.
