HASZA Ri'tl’s‘ (i.»\73ki.'l'fI'Ili'. ) Jflhllsi .73 * 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. ’l‘lie Detroit Free Press says-——‘f'l‘lic new bills, we are told. are coriiparatively uninjured by their long imprisonment. and exposure to dampiii.-ss, but the old snes are quite injured and defaced, whether so much as to prevent lllell” ideiititication and redemption \ve have not learned.

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.

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.

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 persons arrived there speak of the gale as having been the most terrific ever experience on that coast.

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 l l l l l . 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.
