An American banker in Lon- Peabody, whose splendid houpitalities to rymen are widely known, took it into his get ups patriotic demonstration on the f July last. As Mr. Peabody has carried ss for long years in London, and is one of » inoffensive of men, he was reluctant to ‘sought by the English government that hie celebration of our national triamph in past 3 either an ingult or a provocation. He invit- ore, eeveral officisis of high raak to his ban- -ur glorious Fourth. hardly expecting them, | to drink to the defeat of their forefathers uecess of a rival in trade. In farther proof nt no offence, he asked for the portrait lish sovereign, which he offered to hang ide of our immortal Wasbington, to show ‘te, while commemorating @ great national 4 no hostile or offensive meaning. To the fof come one bundred and fifty Americans, ale of the lish government came and usiastically to the memory of Washington, ‘Jueeu sent her portrait, to prove she repu- ‘e ety xy of her predecessor in sac- 1e Teed Colcaiea ut old. So far, so well. ster at London, Mr. Buchanan, and his Se- dr. Bichles, were of course at the celebra- little did the unsuspecting banker dream Sickles came within his gate, like the oree Of old, full of armed intentions. It is m the denouement, that Mr. Sickles had an siness in accepting Mr. Pe: ae Four.h of Ju'y. He knew eer was imtent on hia p: 1. zen diplometist long enough to learn some sks, and he determined, therefore, to pley » Mr. Peabody’s expense. The occasion trate one for a sly display of democratic of royalty; and so, when the Queen’s health 1, a8 @ matier of courtesy, our wide-avaka flatly refused to drink it.

The secretary, no doubt, rabbed | with glee atthe beautifal aes of a is oversy, which would fill the jour- je land, and finish by making him our na- jwpion.

Cuaniron Courrr, Mo., Oct. 21, 1854. After carefully perusing your remarks and published reports im regard to the present crops, | and findiag your columns still open for the discus | sion of this important subject, I feel it my duty to | communicate to you my observations and eoncla- | sions in regard to it. Croakerism may doa great deal of harm to both the dealers in breadetaffs aud to the eonsumer thereof, and it may benefit a few lucky holders of surplus from last year, or the few favored individuals who escaped the drought; bat on the other hand, light and superficial reports as to the sufficiency of the crops msy do much more harm by lulling the millions into a false and treach- erous security, and by stimulating holders of floar and meal to export. I suep:ct, from very good rea- sors, not doubting in the least your own candid and honest opinion and conviction on this important subject, that a great many of your favorable reports are superficial, written by editors, merchants and other travelling gentlemen, who, seeing high and and promisieg stacks in the fielda, made sure of a corresponding yield. I conclude so from the ae pects of the crops (gererally corp) in our State, eepecially im our and the surrounding counties. The aspect was favorable, and very apt to delude the passing beholders. They would pass by oar xuined fields, in their easy buggies, whip in band and segar in mouth, and very complacently survey the fine looking corn fivids, mistaking fodder forcorn. They would stop and congratulate us on our good prospects, and when with sorow we had torefuee the offered compliment, and tried to con- vince them of their delusion, they would shake theic heads and ca'l us “croakers.” But not only the uninitiated have been mistaken— no, ever the farmers themselves. I know of a numbsr of my own neighbors who over-estimated their pros pects by double and tripie, and wao would not lis- ten to me—who had as good, if not a better growta in my fieids than they hac—wheu I told them our ave- rage yield would not exceed ten busnels to tae acre; but now, since they commeuced gathering, the most of them find that even [ overrated. Buch was too ap: to be the case. Such disastrous weather never reigued before withia the memory of man, throughout # whole seasou—never befors wes the horizon seen tarough thyse successive months in uninterrupted brigatoess, without seudiag but one shower, aud no dew at all during the night. Consequently we were scarcely capable of compre- hending the consequences. After making these gene-al remarks, I mnst say, that in my opidion, and from all I have seen learned, the same state of things did and does exist in all the Western States,<with but a few and scarce exceptions for the better, aud that, therefore, those aa apply not only to Missouri, bat to the inion. Tae following you may set down as fairly correct for the north half of the State of Misso Indian corn—our maia an? chief reliance—Ten bushels to an acre, but fine fodder. Tobucco-- 250 lbs. to an acre. Hemp—600 ibs. Oate—A fine supply of straw, and about eighteen bushels to an acre of the 5 Wiest, which is only cultivated in the river coun- ties to any extent, has been fair; but being almost totally neglected fn the interior, will benefit the heaviest sufferers but little, they either living too far from flouring mills, or for want of means are un- able to prepare flour for their dsily food. Potatoes, beans, cabbage, and every description of Vegetabies, you may consi jer s total failure. Fruit— Very scarce and imperfect, which you may learn from tne fact that at our county seat green apples, of ordin:ry dessription, command the enor Por 0 of one dollar per bushel; dry, two dollars and a half. Our meadows have yielded about one-half of what. they generally d>, but of good quality. Now, I would state to you thut corn, for feed ani |, and tobaceo, to oped other requisites, is the saheiasicn of the De per ihe are, biked & majority of them (as te: oocu poor eee “Tands), almost a texal failure, the Nae nds, brivgiog us up to the aforessid average, beg in the hends of the larger rs gtecome And ia the absence of demand tor stock at preaent, aad the consequent # arcity of mouey, the man would undoubtediy be doomed to suffer for the want of bread before the next year’s crop, it Providence had not blecsed him vith a large abundance of wild mast for his hogs, so that, wich his pork,and ia many cages fat beef, he will make ont to live this year. As most of our corn bas been cat, aud made icto todder, I suppose we sha'l make out to winter our stock—that is, keep it alive, bat no more. Tue gen- eral reasion, t hough, is “ofa tight do,” and all trade in mules horees, as aa stock vattle, bas stopped on account of it. Tnere are no su; plies, of avy note, of last year’s crap on hand, and if another such misfortune shall befall us, and without the relief afforded us this yoar through our wild mast, then you might witness distress without paraell-I.

P.Q. Extension of the United States Territories. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The affairs of the great European Povers are now 80 disposed that their interierence with the affairs of the Western continent are entirely out of the question. There is not, at present, a single batta- lion of soldiers, nor a single ship of war, that is available for any purpose not bearing upon the great questi: n now at issue between the Czar and the allies. It therefore becqmes an object to the more ambitious of the American leadere to seize the opportunity for the prosecution of their designs, as well as to manifest their sympathies for the allies or for the Czar, as thei: favorite may be; with all of which they have no concern, since they can thereby effect nothing either for the aggrandizement of this country or the increment of its riches.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF SIMILAR CASUALTIES. Paepsricxssure Ve., Nov. 2, 1854. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ATRALD. Gince the lste terrible disaater which hae happened to the Collins steamer Arctic, Ihave noticed in your very interesting columns many communications suggesting preventives of collision at sea, and (if I Way presume 0 far,) I have given the subject as much, if not more attention, than many whose suz- gestions you have kindly published for the use of the mariner. Much examination and thought have \ Particulars of the Fire ve m the Lockport About Bo'clock last ever old wooden building next west of the which were speedily consumed. The three story b building next west of (he one in which the dre origi occupied as a boarding house by Mrs. Jackson, soo: lowed. As the wind was blowing very strongly from RRS sonthwest, the conflagration proceeded no farther to the | westward. East of the Tremont, Porter's three story brick block, occupied by L. Yarmelee as an eating house and a residence; M. Corbit, grocer; G. Douglass, four store, and Dr. Knapp, office, was quickly destroyed. Ad- | joini:g this were a one story wooden building, occupied y Mr. Fowter as a bakery, two two story wooden strac- tures, occupied by Gabriel Scott and Thomas Tolhurst as grocery stores, Mr. T. mg | the one he occupied; both consumed, Next was Judge Gardner's two story | brick building, oceupied by Gardner & Moss, law office, | and James Morgan, suggested to me the following plan as one which, | if fully carried out by the ship owners of this coun. try and Europe, would be the best insurance which cankd be placed upon the vessels ard lives of the thousands who annually embark uyon the sea. My plan is this:— - lst. Let every steam vessel provide herself with vide herself chute ane re ell, both ot wnt being heard for tue distance of vessel, whether s steamer or sail vessel, be aleo ded with a smaller bell, which shall be proved to be audible at a distance from the vereel of one mile, during modvrate!y still weather, and which may be capable of being heard at areater distance if necessary. 3d. When a fog comes on and becomes so danse as to render objects half-a-mile distant invisible, let the eignala commence by the blow of the steam fog whistle if the vessel be a steamer, and by the hea’ toll of the oh ier if the vessel be a sailer, waic! signals shall be at intervals of one minute, besaase even if they are coming right towards each other at the greatest common speed, viz., twelve miles per hour, or onefifth miles p2r minut», sup posing that they hear the amualier bell, sudible for one mile, they wil! have three-fifths of a mile to stop ip, or 1,056 yards will bs the die tance them, even if one minute elapses after each one has his signe] before the other hears it, which will make 528 yards ' which apace, either versel af the rate of twelve miles per hour, will be allowed to stop in before it could strike the other. 4th. When a vessel hears the signal of the small bell, let her continue her signals aud stop as quickly an possible. Let her then ascertain, by her apeak- ing ore the direction of the other, and after aece: eae direction and indicating ner own, if they are both steamers or both sailers, let the one bailing keep her course, and irdisating the same to the other vessel by firing a musket and hy blowing the whistle twice; but if one be a steamer and the other a sailer, let the steamer veer out of her course, giving way to the sailer. 5th. Woen the vessel again begins motion, let such metion be slow; asthe larger signals can be heard before the smaller, it will be useless for a vow sel to begin her small:r signals until the larzer ones of an approsching veasel bé distin:tiy heard. I would suggest as a common bell, ose which was stationary, and struck by an iron rod moving fresly in @ cylinder, such as a common pipe having 6 moveable sn at one ep a nian yy i end a spiral spring; by regulating position of ¢] ot tom we could regulate the intensity of sound; thus as the bottom was moved towards the top of tae pipe, the eee eoad force the hammer or rod up- 8 ag! the bell with aforce proportionally greater, and we could thus obtain any required sound. Awuicus. CAPACITY OF ONE OF THE ARCTIC’S BOATS. {From the Philadelphia American, Nov. 6.] Our readers will remember that the steameship Osprey, which arrived at this port lately with a large number of the passengers of the steamship City of Philadelphia, brought hither fron*Newfoundland one of the boats of the lost steamship Arctic, being that in which Mr. El- ward Baahlam, the second officer, left the ship, and in which twenty-six persons were saved, though she had less than that number at the time she parte: from the vessel. At the request of Mr. Collins, the capacity of this boat was tested on Saturday, in the Delaware river, in order to ascertain how many persons she might be able to hold safely on an emerge The water was rough at the time of the trial, 12 o’¢lock, at woon, the wind blowing what is technically termed a ‘single reef topsail breeze.” At the request of M amber of our well known Philate Jed on the occasion, and four exp nel the vars, end t pont ax wore found wilkng to go at the point of depar- ture, just above Pine street wharf. There were fifty- seven on board, nearly all of whom were was the general epinion that’ she would full seventy. Certainly she did not seem to be full, as her gurwales were fr in sixteen to eightee: the water, and there was apparently plenty of room for & dozen more pas: ers. nod that in this instance. the no carefully studied arrangement of persons in ort many could be crowded in, all being permi le for themselves, except, urse, that fains, naturally enough, as: them to economize room. Thus the thing was 1 ‘le to conform as much as possible to the cirenimstances of the | wreck, and the test was altogether as fair as could be sired.’ ‘The boat was shoved off, and rowed out in stream, over toward Windmill Ish same distance, then up again, ma cireuit. ‘The river being rough, the boat w: ey i » see the effect upe utifully 5 or side. or in the trough of the waves. Of can hardly form a judgment of things at sea from the enev of a river trial like this; but it was the opinion captains aboard that with the guidance 1, then down sf wmuch heavier load. This trial attracted much attention along Delaware avenue, and a large erowd collected at various points after the boat was in the stream to watch her movements. Those who stood upon the wharves describe the spectacle as quite imposing; and such, in- deed, it must have been, for the boat was skilfully managed, aud worked admirably. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Among the various inventions to save life in case of accidents at sea is one by Thomas Hodgson, of Brooklyn —namely, that of converting the upper portion of paddle boxes into permanent life Boats, and for which he has taken measures to secure letters patent in Europ and America.

Joun HOWLAND, a be gp roe yf soldier, died at Pro- yidence on the 5th inst., aged 97 years. Mr. Howland was born in Newport, October 31, 1757, and at the age of 13 years removed to Providence, as an apprentice to the late Mr, Benjamin Gladding. ‘The stirring times of the Revolution fired him with patriotic ardor, and under its impulse he entered the army. He was with Wash- ington at Trenton and Princeton, and subseq Gen. mn Rhode Island. In common with his compatriots in arms, he suffered in‘ iva- tion, to which were added the pains and forts ef sickness.

On south si Niagara street, Dr. Chase’s two story stone house, the Tremont barn, and another, a row of two story stone Aweljings, owned by J. G. Porter, and a small wooden house, were annihilated. Crossing Niagara street, the fire soon enveloped the tower of the Co: tional chureb, on the southwest corner of Church and ra streets, and all that remained of the fine stone edifice were four blackened walls. An old two story wooden Re dwelling, in the rear of the church, was also burned; | | and another one on the alley, occupied by Mr. Gibby.

Shaler, flour store; a one story wood- en building, used for a ‘meat market, and W. Lusk’s ta- vern, two story wooden house, all burned. Here, by the untiring efforts of the firemen and citizens for four hours, the progress of the destructive elemeut was eta: Le Such was the foree of the wind that large coals were carried in a perfect hailstorm over the numerous build- ings situated between the buraing edifices and the brow of Pioneer hill, three of which—a stnall dwelling on Lock street, between Ontario and Caledonia, a large old shell used asa storehouse, and a smaller one near by—were burned. Had it not been for the most vigorous eiforts on the part of the inhabitants in that quarter—among them many ladies—hundreds of familles would have been turned into the streets houscless. Never has Lockport experienced so destructive a con- flazration, and one which so imminently threatened the cestruetion of a large part of the town.

From the Lockport Courier, Nov. 3.} ‘We doubt whether a more fierce and uncontrollable fire ever raged than this. It broke out about six o'clock, and in less than two hours every building which was de: stroyed was burning. The wind blew very high, and spread the flames with a rapidity which defied all edforts to subdue them. First it extended to the Tremont House, and before the engines could be brought to bear upon it, this building was beyond hope. In ten minutes it had cross. ed the alley to Porter’s block, and continued unchecked clear through to Canal and Ou io streets. The barns block made a terrible fire—the flames extending. hun- dreds of iuto the air, and ineither direction as the wind listed. The heavens were completely filled with flying sparks and embers, and they fell like rain on the steeples of the two churches, whi took fire. The amount of loss sustained is immense for a place of this size, and it will bo years be- fore it can recover the blow. But we ean but be thank- ful that it is no greater than itis. When the fire was at its height no one had hopes of its being stayed where it was; aud hag the wind been © little more westerly the fire would inevitably extended to Main street, and, once there, there is no doubt that both sides of Main street would have heen swept. As it was, the greatest vigilance bad to be exercised to prevent that result. Sparks from the fire repeatedly lodged on tho Courier block und adjoining building. We are told that the light of the fire was plainly seen in Buflalo and ot Medina. ‘The Buffalo firemen and the railroad company deserve great credit for their prompt- ness in responding to our appeal for aid. ‘The Budalo companies that came were engines No. § and 10, hook and. ladder No. 1, avd hose No. 2.
