Duar Srs:—Perbaps in your dis oure on the wreck of tre Arctic, you would be williog to have & more minute detail cf th» evexts, which I men- tioned the other day, and J will therefore try to give it to you. For several days bsfore we received the news of the accident, an att-mp* wa' made t> commanicate the event to my dangter, as sho had beea a year ago t " But it rat the wreck of che San Franciaco. , becanse of her anxiety about a relative of hers, who was at sa, aud with »hom she ase9.iated the wreck, the m meat the idea was presented to her. Thus were prodoced confusion and aoxisty, which interfered with to» clearoess of the commu: nication, though the ides of a wreck was frequently and vivicly presented t) her, Oa the day before the arrival of the news, she had a call from a lady friend, who, ia the course of her visit, become entrance d und gave a graphic desorio- tion of rome of the seves which we after: learted tok place oa bourd the ill fated steamer. But the comravnication was interrupted, ard thus only an ind+fisite appr-hension of some impending Biisfortone was proouced, On the day after we receive i news of che wreck, | I rmturned home trom my office late ia the after- noon, and found my friend Mr. ia my parlor wth my daughier, Some spirit was communi- cating through him.

N.B Biunt,Ja‘e Di-trict Attorney, Bishop Waia- right, Iseac T. Ho per, Dr. Cory, and others of, epiris friends, were also present, and 0 casit ly spoke through, or to aome of us. I plainly saw the whole assemblage, and particu- larly one of them, with whom I had been well ac qusiatec. He was laboring under gieat mental * excilemeat. He excl:imed to me, “Good God, Ed- monds. Can this te tras? Is death, after ail, what you suid it was, aac is this death? Cun it ba | poseible this ie the change which death mikes ?”” Tanewered, “You see. You can judge for your: self. Bing you’ own clear intellect to bear upon it, and yeu can unc eretand it.’” “Bat,” he said, ‘where am? What mast I do? bere am I going? Is this to be always wo?” Iteld hiv, “No, by no means ig it to be always s0. But it will be difficult for me t tell you what to do, tor I canpot know all the circumstances which surround you. Bui there is one close haud who can tell you, snd who can assiat you.” “Who 's that ?” ‘he asked. Tavswered, “Onr old triend, Blunt.” He said, “Nat? Ieheserc? Where? Let me ace him. Let me hear from him where I am, and what Tam to doz” This conversation had thus far been between me and that Spirit direct, aud now Mr. Bluat came through my daughter and ssid: “ Judge, tell him I am nesr at band, ready to assist bim, and hehas only earves'ly to wisn it, tosee and hear me hineelf, Now, his mind is in such uncertainty and confusion that neither hs brother nor I can’ make ourselves visible to him.” This being said te me in 9m audib’e voice, was heard uiso by the Spirit. wo no longer paid any at- tention to me, but turned to where Blunt was, and soon engaged in conversation with him, Others cf those spirits then spoke tome. Ono said to me, that his last thougbt on going down with the ship was, that in a few moments he should be reunited again to his wife and children, who went down witn bim, but he said—and tais so much astonished him—‘when I awoke, I beheld wife aud children passing away fiom me in different directiors, and Iam ieft sloue so near the ear! Ts tais to be slwaysso? AmI never, nevar to see them again? And am I olwaysto hover thus near the earth?” Axviher, whom I had vel! known, ssid to me, with a gcod deal of Rien “Friend Edmonds, is it tive, thee, this wBYch { slways thought an illu. sion of tby insave mind?

FINDING OF THE BODY OF ONE OF THE CHILDREN~ CORONER'S INQUEST. (From the Philadelphia Ledger, Nov. 11.)

Smiley, who i ing examined the remains of child found j amid a quantity of decomposed matter, contained in a rough wooden box, about three feet long and one foot wide. He detailed in technical terms the various por- tions of the skeletons found, including the bones of the head, spina! column, arms, and lower extremities. He considered, from the size of the bones, that the child had arrived at its full time; but from the advanced stage of decomposition, it was ‘impossible to say that the child had been born alive, or to decide upon its sex. There was no mark upon the skull to indicate any violence. the compan; tion rec they dug in a spot rhe pointed out to them, and ina few minutes came to a rough wooden box, about three feet benenth the surface. ‘his is the child that Wm. Snyder told me that he and George Altemus had buried, and he at the same time acknowledged himself to be the father of it. Pamelu Myers at that time lived with her grand- mother, in the house to which the yard where the body was found was attached. It is riow oceupied by Mr. Rice. ‘The child was born on Sunday evening, February 224, 1852, aud was the next day washed and laid out by Elizabeth’ McGuire. Officer Seed corroborated the evidence of Mr, Clark, stating, in addition, that Pamela had told him of having had five children, two of which she choked to death. One of these she said she had thrown into the cess-pool of the yellow house opposite the house in which she was arrest | ed, and that it wan afterwards taken out by her uncle and other people, who buried it in the garden.

Tbe coffin was borne from the “entrar ce to the chancel, both the ministers prece- ding it and reciting the following:— Iam the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he t believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shail he i never die,—St, JoMh xi, 26, 26, Tknow that my Redeemer liveth, and that ho shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though af- ter wy skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall] ace God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.—Job xix, 25, 26, 27. We brought nothing into this world, and it Is certain we can carry nothing out, The Lord gave, and the Lord | hath taken away; blesced be the name of the Lord.—L | Tim, vi. 7; Jobs. 21. When the coffin was placed in the chancel, the following antxema, taken from the Thirty-ninth and | Ninetieth Psalms, were recited;— Lord, let me know my end, and the number of my days, that I may be certified how long I have to live. Lehold, thou hast made my days as it were a span and verily every man living is altogether vanity. For man h in ayain shadow, and disquieteth himselt in vain; be heapeth up riches, and cannot tell | who sball gather them. | And now, Lord, what is my hope Truly my hope is | even in thee. | Deliver me from all mine offences, and make me not a rebuke unto the feolish, When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it | were a moth fretting a garment: every man therefore is but vanity.

As soon as thou scatterest them they are even as a slee p; and fade away suddenly like the grass. Ta the morning it 1s green, sod grower up; butin the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered. For we consume away in thy displeasure; and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation. Thou hast set our misdeeds before thes nd our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. |. For when thou art angry, allour days are gone: we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told. ‘The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so etrong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but Iabor and sorrow; 50 scon passeth it away, and we are gone, “o teach us to number our days, that we may apply | our hearts unto wisdom. | Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Hely Ghost As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. “Amen. After the anthem, the following leason was tead by the miniater first-fruits of them that slept. death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive, But every man in his own order: first-fruite; afterward they that are Christ's, at his coming. ‘Then cometh the end, when he shail have d steem by doing it, and therefore declined it.

Mrs. Etizabeth Hamilton was the widow of Gene- ral Alexander Hamilton, and the daughter of me and was married in the same city in December, 1780. General Hamilton, at the time, was in nis twenty-fourth year, ani occnpied the position of Aid to Geni Washington,/with the rank of lieute- nant colouel.

Up to the | time of her death, it is sald, she always | wore the widow's dress. At the age of nine- | ty she did not appear to be more than | and whosoevgr liveth and believeth-iu me, shall | seventy, and was in perfect possession of allher | barded, mental faculties. There are come who will doubt- less remember the visit she madé to Boston, about = yesr ego, and the attention she attracted a visit toa horticultural fair held in Faneuil" Hall. | She was received with marked distinction, and was | invited to take a seat at the desk, side by side with | the President of the ixstitution. There were clergy- menand other dignitaries, but she was the only woman admitted on the platform. In the course of yarious addresses made from the table below, richly | loaded wrih flowers, fruits, &c., Webster arose aad | begged leave to announce that the daughter of Gen. | Salnyler and the widow of Gen.

In co: nec | tion with Mre. D. Bethunebhe founded the New York Orphan Society, and for several years ac‘ed as its presiding officer. For some years previous | to her death she resiJed in Washington with her daughter, but seldom mingled in the fashionable circles of that city. Before her manisge, snd a stort time previous to the exe: ution of Major Andre, General Hamil- ton wrote her the following letter, expressive of | his dissent to the harsh dscision of the court mar- tial which sentenced bim:— Heap QUARTERS OF TIE AR>ty, TAPPAN, Oct. 2, 1780. * #* * — Poor Andre suffers to-day. Every- thing that is amiable in virtue, in fortitude, in delicate sentiment and accomplished manners, plead for him; but hard-hearted policy calls for a sacrifice. He must | die, I send you my account of Arnold's. affair; and, to justify myself to your sentiments, I must inform you that I urged a compliance with Andre's request to be | shot: and J do not think it would have had an ill effect. truth ard sincerity. Mre. Hamilton and sometimes, from a narrow disposition, mistake it. Wien Andre's tale comes to be told, und present re- sentiment is over, the refeatng. him the privilege of choosing the manner of his death will be branded with too much obstinacy, It was proposed to me to suggest to him the idea of an ange for Arnold; but I knew I should have forfeited the impropriety of the measure. I confess to you 1 had the weakness to value the esteem of a dying man, be- cause I reverenced his merit. Two days before his death General Hamilton made tke following will:— In the name of God, Amen, I, Alexander Hamilton, of the city of New York,-counsellor at law, do make this | my last will and testament, as follows:— first. Iappoint John B.

Letter from Sacramento— Politics—Califonria for Pierce—Business, §c., $e. ‘The recent election in this State has certifiel the strength of the democratic party. Not only did the national democracy, or harda, of California have to contend with whiggery, bat with the Castom House clique, which went tothe support of the adminis- tration. ‘The edministration organs here try to foist a lie upen the country, by a signal success of the Pierceites.

The democracy here had, as they have elge- where, everything to contend st. There rayed against them not only their old foe, the whig party, made confident of success by divisions in ranks of thetr opponents, but a powerful combination of unscrupulous and skilful political traders from their own midst, whose avowed and expressed object was to ve the State over into the hands of the whigs. Rely- ing, however, upon their inherent strengt! Justice and integrity of their cause—the beauty of their politi- cal system, and the “intelligence and patriotism of the masses, they went into the fight determined to conquer. ‘And conquer they did, A most signal rebuke was ad- ministered both to whiggery and treachery, while a truly democratic President was most emphatically en- dorsed. i Now, what the Times and Transcript Kens in the election to propitiate a emile from the administra: tiom is beyond our comprehension.

Literary Intelligence—The new Anti-Slavery Novel, “ Ida May,” Unpublished— Macaulay's History —Its Continuation Further Postponed—Dilatori- ness of Historians—Editorial Changes— Mr. Forrest, §c. “Ida May,” the new anti-slavery novel, is au- nounced io appear on the léth, by Philips, Samp- son & Co. Iam indebted to them for an advance copy of the work, and a brief account of it, seeing vy hat so much hag been promised from it, may not be unacceptable to ycur readers. Ida May, the heroine of the tale, is the daughter of a couple in easy circumstances, living in Penn: sylvania. Her mother died when she was buta child, shortly after which she was boldly seized on the bigbway, by a couple of gentlemen in the kid- napping line, who are 20 lost to a sense of the pro- Prieties as to trade in Anglo Saxon flesh and blood, a8 well as in that of Africa—dealers in silk as well asin wool. In the hands of these impartial free trad- erashe is 0 badly used that they sold her, suppos- ing her to be dying, for thirty dollars, to a good-na- tured planter of the name of Bell, who supposed her tobe of African blood, She is nursed through a fever by an old negrees named Aunt Venus, who plays quite a part in the story; but on her re-overy her memory of past events is all but entirely obliterated. She one day sees a young gentleman, smiabla as a sbepherd of Arcadia, and much more sensible, who, it is plain to the experienced reader of novels, is destined. to be the hero of ‘he tale; but who, at this, its earlier stage, comes like a shadow and so departs. At length Mr. Bell, in ebedi ence to his wife’s orders, sold Ida and Venus toa slave trader, who took them Seuth, where y fell in with the hero of the story in a rather ro- mantic fashion, Walter Verian—that is his name— [ethene bathe Venus is bought by his unsle, «arles Meysard, avd both are 5 to Wynn Hall the reeidence of Richard Wynn, the husband of | Charles Meynerd’s sister, Emms. Here are intro- doced a number of new characters—Mr. and Mra. Wynn, their daugtter Mabel, Charies Maynard, and ers. Wynn Hall isin the Palmetto State. Here Ida recovers her powers of memory so far as to re- collect her own name when ete -chauces to hear it mentioned, which leads to tte discovery of her posi- tion in toolety. and thas her father is supposed to be dead and her reiatives poor. She is adopted by Charles Maynard, ard here—as the play bilis have it—an interval of eight years is supposed to elapse bet the close of chapter nine and the com. hat she has been to. them the stillness reigned, and a calm came over them all, as | and afterwards went into the yard, where she must |- also bear the lmage of the heavenly.
