C. Green, by the insane attempt of Alonzo Fenn to shoot his wile, poison his child, and des'roy his own life. He had been living separate from his wie for some months, and yesterday went into the tyek part of the store of Mr. Green, who is the father of Mra. Fenn, and under whose rotection she was residing, and toking © seat ina chair Eefront of her, askes hee if sho would live with him again. She refused, when he took her little child in his arms, attempted to force the contents of a vial, which, as appears in the vequel, was poison, down the infant's throat. He did not suceced, however, as the little thing kept its mouth firmly closed, and rejected the terrible dove. Fenn then drew a pistol, and fired at bis wife's head. She was sitting in a chair, within a few feet of him, with some sewing in her hands, but her suspt- Gions being aroused, she dodged as soon as he made @ motion with his arm, and the messenger of death weat harmlessly over her head, passed through a parti- tion, and lodged in a «mall coil of cord ona shelf behind her. At the report of the pistol Mrs. Fenn screamed and run through the front store, up stairs into the dwelling P pigenghs the store, The wretched man thought the ball had taken effect, and immediately swallowed jon of the contents of the vial he had in bis possession, which it was afterwards ascertained was prussic acid, & deadly ; Fenn was imp ediately arrested and odged in jail, and in the meantime a physician was sent for to cOunteract the poison, and remove it from his stomach. Dr. Knight, we believe, attended him, and pre- soribed the usual remedies, and caused him to eject the n, and was considered out of danger last night. The affair will undergo an investigation, and we make no com- ments in the case, beyond the statement of the occur. rence as it too’ place. We willadd, hewevor, that Mra, Fenn is a very amiable and estimable lady, and Mr Fenn is reputed a good mechanie.— Louisville Courier, Oct. 20, Brave Case in Cincinnati—Escarr oF Tae Fvarnve.—Lewis, who has been before United States Commissioner Carpenter a couple of days past, on the of being a fugitive slave, was conveyed to the Jury room, yesterday, when Mr. C. was to have given his decision.

Cammissioner Carpenter gave notice that he ‘would cénclude his decision on Tuesday next, provided four o'clock on Saturday morning. As soon as the ship was discovered among the breakers, the in- habitants of th village of Squan Beach obtain. ed, with the greatest celexity, three large lite boats, and after launching one of them amidst the surf, pushed off to the ship, which lay about two hundred yards from shore; and coming alongside, asked the captain how mattere stood, who told them that he supposed the ship would be got off at Mood tide. after the boat's crew had Teft the vessel she began to leak builly, and the captain thinking it prudent to keep the vessel easy, sent a kedge anchor on shore, to which, after being fastened in the sand, about twenty yards from the surf, waa attached a one anda half inch hawser, fastened on bourd to the mainmast of the vessel. The passengers on board about this time began to be quite clamorous and uneasy, although they hnd no im- mediate caure for fear; and the captain, to pacify them, ordered the government life-boaty to come alongside and take off the passengers. Thuis operation was performed. weare glad to say, without the loss of a single lite. ‘The boats were kept plying through the breasers until about o'clock P. M., when Spottord & Tillston’s new steam tug hove in “sight. ‘The capiain then chartered her to take some of the passengers to New York, who were conveyed to her by means of the boats, the surf cunning too high to admit of the steamer coming alongside. After taking about 250 of the passengers, in. cluding thore belonging to the cabia, the steamer sailed for New York, it being then about six o’clock, P. M. This closed the labors of Saturday. ‘Those who were so fortu- nate as to be on shore, were well housed and taken care of by the hospitable inhabitants living along the beach; but those on board the ship were in a ve'y uncomfortable con- + dition, the ship being bearly half fuil of water, and every, thing in contusion. The provisions became short, and the passengers were informed that no waver could be got at, as the ship had leaked so badly that it was impossible for the crew to get at the casks. There remained on bourd the ship that night, about .00 of the passengers, who spent a most wretched night, being half drowned and starved, the only provisions allotted to them during that horrible night were a few dry navy biseuit Gn Sunday morning, I visited the wreck, in company with Captain Brown, agent of the underwriters. I found that the vessel lay ‘about three miles north of Squan Inlet between Squan Village and Wreck vena, lying not oyer two hundred yards from shore, on the outer bar, with Ser head to the sou'h ond roadside to the beach; her back was broke smidsuips end aft of the mix: zen mast, and ber rudder all torn olf. The surf at this time was’ very high, but seamed to have no elfect_ on the ship whstever, which lay buried in the sand, with thir- teen feet of water in the hold, ‘The ship was found at this time to be badly hogged, as 1ho tide ebbed and slowed in her hold At 044, the sea running too high for the boats to leave the ship with passengers, one of irancis’ metalic life cars was brought into requisition. After being hauled on board the ship with a rope, three passengers—a man aud two women—ventured to get intv the little cocxleshell They were locked up and launched upon the briay ocean; their friends on shore watehed with great anxiety the re sult of the experiment. On its way from the ship it upset and turned completely over. However, after pulling and hauling for about ten mimutes, the unfortuoate venturers were landed in safety. On setting their feet upon ferra Jirma, an old woman, with a strong Hiberniae accent, fier’ looking about with a vacant stare, sai * Oh God, bless you ull! but sure I thought we were gone to the bottom.” ‘The man, on getting his caubeen and stick, marea bolt through the crowd to a wagon which ttood about thirty yards from there, and after reviving himeelf with a little apple jack, began hugging the meu and wo- men indiscriminately, who hed arrived in the life boat the day previous. Zupt, Clark from the Board of Underwriters,arrived about @34 o'clock, and after taking a survey of the ship from the shore, despatched a letter with a messenger to New York, stating her condition and thatof the passengers, [He then ventured in one af the lifeboats, which, rowed by six men, succeeded in getting to the ship, after taking ina litte water, Op arriving on board he informed Captain Moses, commander of the vessel, that the steamer Achilles, with two fore and aft schoovers in tow, would arrive there soon, and proceed immediately to take off the remainder of the passengers. ‘At fifteen nm: nutes to ten o'clock another trisl of the car was made, which was lowered from the ship with two women and a man enclosed in it. Their passage was a ery rough one, as the car, got among some of the highest breakers, aud was tossed to and tro like a feather upon the crest of the snow topped breakers. The under tow being very 1 trong ‘on this coast, made the surf very high and broken, ‘The friends of the passengers watched with a lively interest the wonderful car, which at times was hidden from their view among the breakers. It turned over no less than three times, taking a little water. However, it reached the shore in safety, and out popped three heads, ali eager to be releasec ‘from what they sup- pored would be their temb, ‘The man, a short, red haired Irishinan, on regaining his feet, jumped up and twirled his cap in the air ala * Ragged Pat’? fashion, to let those on board the ship know that he was quite safe and out of the whale’s belly, for the car was somewhat the shape of the monster of the deep. The beach at this moment presented a most picturesque scene, the const for miles was strewn with the passengers, who, haif starved, were devourit g everything in the shape of eatables that they came acrose, Ail the provisions in the fishermen’s and farmers’ houses were consumed on Saturday night, by those who were landed on shore; therefore it was a very hard matter for those who got ashore in the life car to obtain anything to eat or drink, and had it not been for the foresight of @ cute Yarkee from a village about five miles north of the wreck, who brought with him a cart load of real Shrews- bury oysters, and sold every one of them to the greatest advantage, the poor emigrants would most likely have been in @ bad way. ‘At 10% the car arrived with another load, contain ing @ man, two women, and a child, who were very uch exhausted and slightly wet, Onone of the bystand- king the man how he felt in the life car, he replie ‘it was like being roiled inside of @ bartel down s Lill At 10% o'clock, the steamer Achilles being in sight, the government life Boats were lannched in safety, ana reach ed the ship in a few moments, ‘At 11 o’clock the Acluiles came along side, within about } three hundred yards, and after the schooners had dropped their anchcrs @ little more to seaward of the ship, the boats began to make bet with the passengers to the Fleamboat, aud continued so doing up to 3 o'clock P. M., without any accident. . While the passengers were exchanging ships on the water, an old schoolmaster, named Allen Nixon, was ad- dressing the emigrants on shore, on the performance of their duties in this country, the land of their adoption. He cautioned them to beware of all intoxicating drinks, and if they bad money to keep it, (quite an unnecossary warning.) He dwelt upon the follies of Irishmen, and said that a great portion of these who eame here were, he was sorry to say, very much addicted to the use of spirituous liquors. ‘The babits and customs, said the lecturer, of the Americans, were far different trom those of the nitives of the Old Country, and it would be necessa- ry, a8 soon as practical, for those who arrive here from Ireland to accustom themselves to the ways, manners and customs of the Yankee nation. He seemed anxious to impress the full force of his words upon the memories of those present, (some of whom were hungry enough t# ent a horse, if it was well cookec,) to be respected among the ‘American people, and do their duty henceforward as good naturalized citizens, The lecture was, however, not as well attended by the emigrants as those who lived in the heighberhood—the latter’ party having rambled all over the country in search of apples, pumphins and other ve- iretables, which they devoured with avidity, to “appease the cravings of a hungry appetite.” ‘The surf on the beach was very highfabout three o'clock, andthe wind blowing fresh from the northwest at the time, produced so dangerous an undertow that nong of the boats could venture on shore, fer the height of the breakers was frightful, yet beautiful and grand, ‘The tide was flowi ut the ship being full of water, remain- ed fart in and, Some time after this, the bows of the wreck appeared to an observer on the beach to be settling in the sand, which bad the effect of the bend in her bull amidships still more visible. The landing of the == being “inished, the steamboat proceeded on er ee to New York, ing all the ngeca that could am no doubt, many of them strayed among the ‘of quan Vi and did not return in time for the steamboat. It , everybody for en miles around brought down their wives, sons and originated. Mr. Clapp, the proprietor, is of opinion that it commenced in the kitchen, as he discovered a hole burn- ed through the floor, immediately over it during its early progress. When first seen it cou!d-have been extinguish- ed with a dozen pails of water, but there was no hose in the building, and the water had to be conyeyed from cisterna outside of the building. Soon after the alarm of fire was given, between two and threeJhundred persons assembled around the hotel, and rendered all the assist- ance in their power to extinguish the flames, but they spread so rapidly as to defy their utmost exertions, and in less than tour hours after the fire was Giseovered the hotel was one maas of ruins. So rapid was the work of destruction that not more than oue quarter of the furniture was saved, and that in a damaged condi- tion. Major Wm. W. Morris, the commander of the fort, which is about three or four hundred yards from the ho- tel, sent fifty or sixty of his wen to the assistance of Mr. Clapp, but the only aid they coulé renger was in the say- ing of the furniture. Great confusion and excitement pre- vailed at the time among tho residents of the buildings adjoining the hotel, and it was with the greatest diflicul- ty they saved their dwellings from the flames, Wet cx pets were thrown over the roofs, and the walls were satu- rated with water, to repel the devouring elemont. Ali the buildings escaped destruction with the exception of a seal one immediately adjoining and belonging to the otel. Mr. H. D, Clapp, the proprietor, and from whom we received our information, was sleeping in the hotel, with Mr. Jervis Henshaw, a friend, who had accompanied hira from Brooklyn ia the early part of Sunday evening, and both would have perished in the flames but for the sagacity ofa large Newfoundland dog, named Casco. This animal, it appears, was locked up in a room in another part of the building, near the place in which the fire was first discovered, and forced his way out to the sleeping apartment of his master. When he reached the door he found it closed, but the noble animal flung himself against it repeatedly, till he woke both his master and his friend from their slumbers, just in time to . Clapp told us thaf'when he first ving proposition: will be submitted to you tl Us evening.

Four eenturies ago, in 1453, America was as yet un heard of in the older parts of the world; fom ° ceata- ries ago the only vessels that navigated these waters were some canoes that hardly ventured beyond th * Nar- rows, and certainly never went farther than Sandy, Hook. ‘The rmoke of no whi:e man’s home had gone upwa td in these territories, Kurope, four centuries ago, mater Lally and commercially was as different teom what it is ma W as Amerivacf that time was from the America of the }pre- sent, Ships crept along the shore from cape to cape, , aad the merchants made heir bargains with sword ia haut '— for the mariner was half sailor, half soldier, fighting h {s way into the interior of the countries where he wisha 1 to bargain, There was one moral principle of gover ment, bowever, that existed in Europe at that time, which was above all‘nationalities, above all dynasti and above all existent regal power, namely—the jurisdic tion of Rome, which prescribed hmits and gave laws to the ambition’ and avarice both of individuals end com- munities, This Europe and ‘this America were in this condition four hundred years ago, when it came into the inind of an illustiious individual, inspired by Providence, to unveil the knowledge of a new world. I willexplain the character of this illustrious individual, and of his tuccestors, in their spiritually Catuclic cha- meter ; for, after reading Washington — Ieving’s life of Columbue and Bancroft’s History,as well as hearing Mr. Evere't’s lecture on the same subject last season, | besides reading other works, Ido net find that any of them appreeiate the Catholic.character of the early dis- coverers of America, and, therefore, they depart from the matter of the subject which they have illustrated in books and orations. (Applause.) I propose to prove to you the es entially Catholic character of Coluubus, that is motives were Catholic, that his conduct in the en- terprise was Catholic, aud, in fact, that it was Catholic genius and Catholic zeal that gave a new patrimony to the world. (Applau Columbus was bora in 1436, in Genoa, and brought up at the university of Pavia; at the age of manhood we find him following a seafaring life, and at the age of twenty-four a captain; in 1470 he was a resident of Lisbon, where he remained for fourteen or fifteen years; from ihence he proceeded to the court of poker on ivod of Spain tone-rhrough the Atmesae cost he had conoel red of » thing fur b asleep. ‘was ogain awakened by the same noise; and thinking that there must be semething serious in it, he called to his friend, Mr. Henshaw, who was in an a ‘\joiaing room, and asked him if he heard the noise. On receiving an affirmative answer, they both got up, and opening the door of Mr. Clapp’s room, they found the faithful Casco outeide slightly burned. “To his vigilance and sagacity, they both acknowledge themelves indebted for their liver, and it is certain that he was the first to give the alaru. ‘The Fort Hamilton Hotel was a four story building, and was built partly of brick and partly of wood, and was ca- pable of accommodating n-arly five handred visiters. The only persons in the building were Mr. Clapp, Mr. Hen- thaw, and a servant girl; all the boarders having left it last month, The furniture was valued at $25,000, about $13,000 of which is insured in the Park, Howard, and Irving Insurance Companies of this city.’ The building was the property of Mr. George 8. Gelston, who was in ancther part of Lovg Island with his family when it was destroyed. We were unable to ascertain anything about its kping insured, but it is confidently believed that it bas been in several New York companies, to the amount of $2,000 or $30,000. Mr. Clapp has rented it tor th Jast four years, but befcre that it was occupied as a boarding liouse by Mrs. Ripley. Part of the building was erected in 1751, and about ten years ago an extensive ad- Gition was made to it by Mr. Gels it is probable that it will be rebuilt by next summer, as it was one of the most popular resorts near New York. Its situation was not surpassed for picturesque beauty. Erected on the brow of a hill which overlooked the bay it commanded a magnificent view of the scenery for many miles around. The fort, with its frowning vatilements, lies at a depth of several hundred feet below it, and every vessel that leaves or comes into our port can be seen with the great est ease from its elevated position. To these it was a landmark, for it was one of the first objects seen by them on entering our waters. Yesterday morning the syectacle presented by the burning building was grand and imposing in the extreme. The reflection of the fire ‘was discernible at the Battery, and by some it was thought that the whole village was in flames. Nothing now re mains of the hotel but a mass of ruins; the walls have all fallen in, and the lawn in sront is strewed with broken furniture, New York State Politics. KINGS COUNTY WHIG NOMINATIONS.

(Applause.) In the contract. signed with Ferdinand ‘and Isabella he states it to be his inten- tion to devote the pzoceeds of his share of the pro cb ures to squander npoo what waa then He afterwards applied of fits of the enterprive to the rescue of the holy sepulchre at Jerusaiem from the hands of the infidel—a most Catholic intention. (Applinse.) Co: lumbus may be considered the last of the Crusaders, a descendant of Louis of France and Godfrey de Bouillon, who thought it a great disgrace that the holy sepulehre should be left in the hands of idolators and believers in the Koran. (Applause.) In that contract made on the banks of the Vega, and in his last will and testament be- fore departing upon his last voyage, we find that the hope a recovering the holy sepulehre was always ia his mind, Cppiare) in that will he mentions that twenty-tiv men should be equippec for the recovery of the holy se- pulehre at his expense, and that his nephew and heir— Fou Diego—should place them under the authority of some Christian prince. Such had always been his intention, as he expected by railing west to find some strait which would bring him to Joppa, and by this means march to Jerusalem, that city over which David wept, but for whose Geliverance there had not, for so long a period, been felt any sympathy in Western Europe. (Applause.) Wash. ington Irving says, on this part of the subject, that Co- lnmbus intended the most noble project relative to the disposal of the proceeds of his discovery—he desired to found a munificent institution ia his pativ ity for the poor, to build a church where masses should be said forever for the souls of those who sailed on the voyage, and to eifect the rescue of the holy sepulchre. Judged by these intentions, no greater Catholic layman than Colum- bus ever stood upon the continent of Karope, or continent of America, With regard to the Catholic co-operation tt at he ieceived in his enterprise, we find that he came to Spain, after twelve or fourteen years’ residence in Lsbon, a sea captain, offering to find a new world for any power that would furnish him with two vessels. When he ar- rived Ferdinand and Iss bella were engaged in a war against the Moors of Granada; they brovght it’ to a conclusion in 1492, and, at the same time, agreed with Columbus upon the terms of his cutfit. In the agreement made with the court of Spain, he stated that it was his intention to Lars the aborigines into the fold of the Catholic Church, an to spend tLe produce of his discovery in the rescue of the holy sepulchze.

The university of Salamanca may have been behind the age, but it is certain that Columbus won over to his opinions the principal pro- fessors of science in the coutry, To hold in that age the opivion that the world was round, and that by sailing dne west be might return doe east, and that there wae en antipodes to us, was most repugnant to the general be- lief at that time; but still the University of Salamanca way open to conviction. and it is to her credit that Colum: bus was allowed for seven years, to preach doctrines ap- parently opposed to the Seriptares, for David calls the sky fh tent, and the earth a floor beneath it, From these cir Comstancer it 1aust have been more extragrdinary for the people of that age to swallow such apparent inconsisten- Ces than for us, in mcdern times, the wonders of mes- werism. Those who have mentioned that Galileo, a hun- ‘ved yeats Inter than Columbus, was persecuted by the Cuthelie Church for this deetrine, have only one of two riternatives to cheose--either that the churchmen of Spain inthe tire of Columbus, endeavored to reconcile sense with scripture, or not. The fact of their eudsavoring to do so is a proof that they were constent studeats of the Scriptures and readers of the Bible, Applause.) The conduct of the most Catholic of nations, and of {te court, under Ferdinand and Isabella, ls a com- plete refutation of the inference that’ nad been drawn from the treatment of Galileo, that the church was opposed to sound sense, and that it wished to keep the people in ignorance of the revelations of God to mon.

Lecture of R. Ogden Doremus, Professor of Chemisty in the N. Y¥. Medical College. Notwithstanding the rain, quite a large audience as- sembled last evening, in the lesture room of the New York Medical Col'ege, in Thirteenth street, to hear the first lecture of » course, by R. 9. Doremus, Profswor of Chemistry. The subject was “The history of creation, ss taught by modern science, compared with the Mosaic account.” The lecturer carse forward at precisely 74 o'clock, ang! was greeted with applasse. He said: Ladies and Gemtlemen—At eveniny, at set of san; when we look up- ‘on all the glories of the heavens, we are led to reflect om the esuses of creatiory and we ask ourselves, why do the thin bodies float through space with seeh precision? It is pleaing to reflect that wecan define their cates, and that the human mind is capable of eppreciating the works Of God. I shall his evening procesd to illnstrate my theme with various experiments, and, considering that Ishall attempt to crowd.» great deal intow small com- pass, I hope you will excuse me if any of my ex- periments should fail, ‘Let charity rele the board spread for brothers.” The chemist would) assert, that the primitive condition of the earth was the gaseous, and not the fluid or ihe solid.

A combiration of made to prodace a flame so intense us to melt a diamond, as fllustiated by the lecturvr. Another combination of gases was made to produce ajar of flame, so light aud brillantes to dazzle the eye of the spectator, Let us again recall the Mosaic account :—* And God said let there be light, and there was light.” This, 1 consider the second stage of chemistry. The first is, as 1 have stated, the formation of the earth, and the second is the formation of light. The lecturer said that all matter was tending towards a comnion centre; and to illustrate thts, a ball of oil rested around a smali iron tube, in a large jar of liquid, A rapid turning of this tabe flattened the globe of oil at the pells, an e the bail the form of a spher id, accountizg for the shape of our earth. A more rapid evolation of the world of oil, threw off from it various particles, each forming a ball of its own, stil,’though, the liquid revolving around the com mon centre—thus illustrating the planets with their satelites. The resuli in the contact of cert#in metals next received the atter tion of the lecturer. By electricity alight was produced equally dazzliug with that produce: by the unity of the grsex. Animal lite differ’s from vegetable life in this respect: vegetable life depends upon external forces, and animal life toa great extent depends upon forces generated within itself. Tbe nervous system ofa plant is the sunbeam. The nervous system of animal life ts quite Gifferent. According to the Mosaic account we had voge- table life firet. And is this in perfec’ harmony with the teaching of science? We first had the earth, sur- rounded with heat contained in the gases which sur round it, and then vegetable life had existence, After that comes the light of the sun, perfect balanes of the gases and heat, and then comes man. We have now asound us numberless globes—the stars, and planets, and satelites—not made for the pleasure and amusement of astronomers, but greater we know inmagaitude than oar earth, and perhaps higher than we in the scale of ra tional existence. It is not difficult to account for the solid state «fthe earth. ‘The unity of certain gares pro duces corgealed bodies andgreat cold. Experimenting again, the lecturer produced snow and ice by the union of ether with certain prepay ations. Various degrees of cold, ovens as taenne oa Vo fovea mercury, were produced by the action of gases, from which the lecturer accounted for the solid state, which arose from the primeval gazeous state, which he claimed first existed. Frm the action of there gases, the exrth became congealed and crusted, and the various other bodies which roll throagh the skies. ‘The lecturer closed his very.interesting experiments with an eloquent argument, harmonizing the teachings of science with the writings of Moses upon the formation of the universe. 2 Park Benjamin upon “ Americanisms.” Last evening, at the Hope Chapel, Mr. Park Beojamin delivered a leeture upon “ Americanisms,” before the “Columbian Literary Club.” About fifty persons were present. The lecturer commenced. by an appeal to the national pride of his audience, and threw in a Jittle patriotism as oil in the salad which was to follow. He said that all the really great minds of England—the Car. lyles and Lyellsa—eulogised America aud the American people. There had been al o a great change in the En, press, and the leading journals now spoke of us with more respect. The lecturer said that he meant to include in “Americanisms '’ thore peculiarities which were really original wih us, and also to point out some which were supposed to be our own inventions, but which In performing the last named daty he in- stanced several words supposed to have been coined here, but which could be traced to British standard works. He then proceeded to say that we were a utilitarian nation; in the appreciation and creation of the beautiful we were far below the rmaliest European kn Our architecture was imitative. We had but one sculptor, and, in fact, we crested Fardly anything original, except ships. We were also imitative in political and social aristocracy.

Mr. Lowrie delivered a brief address, The object of their society was to advance the cause ef true evangelical religion and universal freedom, Thele church was totally distinct from all slaveholding sects.
