The tides rose to such a height a8 to submerge several portions of the city, and nearly all the bath houses of the United States Hotel and a portion of the Light House Cottage were carried away. The lighthonse is now in a dangerous condition, as another storm of such violence will seud the breakers against its bass. The railroad track across the meadows is entirely submerged at low tide, and no train bas reached that city since the day of the storm. It is pro- bable, however, that the trains will be enabled to resume their trips to-day or to-morrow. ‘ *Tis an lil wind chat blows nobody good” is aa old saying, and the resi- dents of this locality will lesra from the dam- ages following the wake of the storm what improvements are peeded to secure protection to their property in the future. At Cape May the storm was the most terrific that has occurred for the last twenty years, and the losses occasioned by it are great. The wind drove the sea inland, and before twenty-four hours had elapsed after the commencement of the storm the sea swept over the meadows and covered the tracks of the railroad, while the waves pear the beach rose to the height of ten feet. Tbe bath houses along the beach were unable to withstand the fury of the wind and waves, and were carried away. The damage on those of Congress Hall will amount to at least $6,000, The torn ike leading from the city was covered with water, while jackson street, as far as the Sberman House, and the road between Cape May and Cape Island, were ‘also sub- merged. The conductor on a railroad was obliged to reach his train ina rowboat, The road between Beile Fiain and Manumuskin was washed away, but has sivuce been repaired. ‘The residents of those portions of New Jersey feeling the fury of the storm were greatly alarm- ed, but happily no lives were lost. THE KIMBALL ABORTION CASE, pation at the Tombs—Cross-Examina- tion of the Witnes: &e. ‘The examination in the case of Dr. George Beakley and Mrs, Nauey Cole, charged on a joiut indictment with having sed the death of Mrs. Elizabech Kimball, in consequence of injuries inflicted upon her in an opera- tion performed by them for the purpose of procuring abortion, was continued yesterday before Judge Dow- Jing, at the fombs.

Noble (whose demise was mentioned in yesterday's Herato) and the Health authorities. According to law coroners as well as practising physicians are required to furnish the Registrar of Vital Statistics with the cause of every death that may come under their official notice, and to the certificate of death ia all cases the name of the physician or coroner who draws 1t must be aflixed as a signature, In tho case of Mrs. Noble, besides two other imperfect certificates, one certificate, which mentioued only the name, age, estate, oceapation, birth place and length of residence in this city of the deceased, was presented to the Registrar's office at an unusual hour of the day four dulferent times by different persous each time. It bore no signature either of a coroner or a physician, and gave no canse whatever of death. A permit was, of course, denied each time it was presented, Four hours after the inquest had been held and ad- journed to Sunday next the following letter was received from the Coroner by the Registrar: — Marcu 24, 1867, Dr, Hawats:— Sim—The inquest on the body of Mary E. Noble is not finished, and I nave had a post-inortem examination made, ‘There 18 no doudt but there has been foul tives wantto bury the body.

To this letter the ete i erckase the ms in which of manner ‘permits ooh shoakl be granted, be could not issue any permit for the interment of the body of Mrs. Noble until he should have received a certiticate which would give the result of the medical inspection, showing the cause of the woman's death. This certificate he earnestly re- quested the Coroner to send to tbe Board before one o'clock yesterday afternoon eet the afternoon another certificate cortifying that “John Wildey, coroner, had commenced an inquest on the body of Mary E. eee thirty-eight years, wative of New Jersey,” was to the Registrar by Mr, Noell, with a note from the Coroner, which closed the per pg between the two oilicials, with the words:—‘‘I can make no alteration in my certificate,” and added, ‘‘In regard to the othe: of me by you I may say that the Coroners Inst year concluded not to file inquests in your Bureau after Benes 3 1, 1867, but makes the disposition of them re- yy law. The statute regulating the matter you will fd in Revised Statutes, title 7, article 1, seo, 8." Unlike the other imperfect certificates, this one was mgned, but lke the others it gave no cause of death. ‘On the receipt of this note and document the Registrar, seeing that to all the Corontr was bent on refusing to make out @ perfect certificate, giving the re- sult of the medical examimation which was held on the ir papers demanded ion of the Coroner, given the alter the examination, Dr Harris requested Dr. Finnell, who assisted at the medical e ‘to state the cause or causes of Mra.

One reason given by the Coroner for his opposition to the permit law is that, for “lack of withesses,’’ ho had to postpone the inquest, when he of all others knows, say the Board of Health, that the evidence of his depriy coroner, a regular phy: sician, as to the medical examination made on the body, ‘was all that was required to obtain a legal permit. The Board of Health contend that the caus» of the physician certifies to; the facts of the case being sub- jects for the Jury's attention alone; and they therefore cannot see, in the face of the evidence of George Wait Carson in this case, which is as conclusive as to facts as the physicun’s—deputy coroner’s—must have been as to —— Lo a pi. eaeiet giving the cause ', the inquest should be adjourned an entire week for “lack of rwitnesooe,* ‘We Jearn that late last in Harris ranted burial permit.

MAYORALTY NOMINATION IN ST. LOUIS, Sr. Louis, March 26, 1861. Jamee 8. aunsted fore cecton by the Radieal Convention TRIPLE SHEET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BERALD. ‘Lest amy one of your readers should be bothered or despondent about the ability of the nation to meet its indebtedness, by reason of the recent clamor of those ‘who are attacking tip public credit, let me ask his atten- tioa to some of the resources of the country which may be confidently relied npon. The debt of the nation is to be paid by the people, who bave their own and local debts to pay besides, It is paid by taxation mainly upoh what they possess or what they consume, consequently the more they have or the more means they can get the easier and sooner will {t be paid. The questions how, when and by whom it is to pe paid, admit of one answer, viz, :—as soon and as easily as possible. ‘The sources of our wealth are three—First, the charac- ter, skill and industry of our people; second, the natural ad of the country we inhabit, such as ter courses, &e. its climate, soil fe productive Capacity os! ird, the can convert the foregoing into valuable commodities for our own and the world’s markets. In the first of these particulars we are foremost among nations, Half a century of unexampled Broarons pay ate, are. thrifty, energetic, and that staining 4 powerful independence and unity, In the second clement of wealth uo country under heaven possesses such bounteous provisions of nature, pone such a fertility and variety of produce, nowhere such @ store of the precious metals, and the hardly less precious fron and coal; none an equal distri- bution of the natural highways or such a reserve of natural forces. The last element, which includes our agriculture, manufactures, mining’ and the distribution of these products through the channels of trade, is equally our rightful boast. In agricultural products we have no equal; in manufactures and mining we have but just begum to develop our resources, which may pond caeeeee the whole of the world besides at no tant day. Such is the solvency of the nat: and accumulation of wealth under the genius of our native bias and institutions, Half or two-thirds of a contury bas been spent tn building the dwellings, clean- ing und fencing the lands, erecting the store houses, which already rank aman the first tn the world, What upparalieled progress’ Great as it is, it is onl; germ of greater things to follow, the pon seed on ots great harvest of richness, The same people which has spread over atract half as large as Eorope and reciaimed it from wilderness, will, in another filty years reap the results of whieh the past fitty are the mere founda- tions. In 1860 the entire real and personai property of the country, not including the government lands and property, was $12,760,000,000; and its annual product $3,750,000,000, of which one half was agricultural and the other manufactures, mining, &e. This is very well for a people who had to build, besides its local roads, thirty thousand miles of raiiroad, five thousand miles of canals, eigity thousand miles of telegraph, besides milis, ‘shipping and the like. The value of the property cannot have depreciated during the past six Fears, notwithstandivg four years of war; for while one third of the country was checked in its career, the other two-thirds were still advancing, so that the national debt is less than a tenta of the aggrevate value of the rea! and persona! property of the peuple to-day? Now, there are two ways of paying off the debt; re- trenchment and economy of the revenue we have, and multiplying our productive capacity. To pay with what we now have, or to.go to work diligently and get more to pay with, | Pay we must, honestly and honorably: first, becavee it is just and right that we should, and second, because it 18 safer and more prolitable iw the long run to do so, Credit is capital, and thé faith of the nation must be kept, alike from reasons of conscience and policy. It is our blessed fortune to be producers of three things which are in universal demand, and which we ‘can {urnish either easter or cheaper than any other na- tion. These are cotton, breadstuifs and the precious metals The fibre in which the world gan best be clothed, the food it eats, and the articles which borh savage and civilized have come to regard as the standards of all value, The two agrien!tral products we can produce n such quantities as te fully stock or overstock the natwal markets; that is to say, we can raise so much cotton a: d grain t it will chenpen itself, ‘Europe takes from vs no more grain than sue uveds a prices fixed by the scant or plenty of ber nearer harvests. Unul some cheaper means of trangport can be devised, we must be content to build up our own market for our breadstats at home, ‘The case is a little different with cotton, there being no danger that for at least ten years to come : @ shall apticipae the urowing demands of tho wor'd, This is of less consequence, since we may expect to ren) ize nearly as much trom a crop of two and a balf m I Kons in 1867 as we ditt from four millions in 1880. We can in this instance dictate the price. Moreover,-1o ra’ more cotton we need. more labor, more capital, and tin for incteased ity.- Europe will be giad to serd ‘both wheo our poiitical:skies shall eem brighter to bur timid sigdt, ‘With our minerals the case is quite different. The ‘market for preciois metais is practically inexhausib\ inappeasable. ~-Both bop peng millions of Europe pee aries ana Asta — out fat hands for gold. silver, crying “ive, give.” @ magical eanerey. of these metais; that chough intrinsically of Fite jue, they have she rarer quality of paving debts all the world over. They cost labor to get, and thus far the supply bas been quite inadequate to the demand. Now, we possess, Jocked un in the western of our continent, among the hills and valleys of two hundred trougand ¢quare miles, gold and silver which in amount is practicaily untimited, The most distrastful traveiler who ever returned thence never dared to set limits to the supply. Singularly enough we have both labor and capital enough to increase the juction ef gold and sliver tenfold. All that is needed is to lessen the cost of ex- tracting it, and all that is needed to do this 1s to cheapen trausportation to the beds of ore, so that they ed work them at greater profit, This is the burdea of every story that reaches us from those “Here is wealth in abundance,” say they. “Give us road: jive us communication with the rest of the wurld. Let in to ug the light of civilization; the comforts of home; the subsistence you can spare so well, and the tools with which to work, an! we can pay your debts and get rich too,’ “hail they not have them? There is no danger that the market wfll be glutted in one day with too much bullion. The injection of two thou- sand millions into the world’s store during twenty vears has bad but slizbt impression upon its current value. We may go on supplying a thousand millonsa year for the next twenty years without a fear of the price being cheapeved below the limit of cost of production. fhe best estimates agree in placing our average yearly pro- duct for a decade at about a huadred millions. The au. thorities are not agreed upon the proportions contributed by the respective areas, bat the following come very near the mark:— $ California and Oregon. .. Idaho, freight, fuel, labor, management and ‘Traind, that the net pron to the community is perhaps lese than flity mil- lions, but the actual capitalists receive probably less than ten milions, Now everybody concedes that the same, capital, labor and machinery there present would suflice to produce four times as my at half the cost, if the ‘was open to from their commodities, What a prospect is bere opetied up to the national foture, Four bandred millions of ballon at a cost of about twenty-five be reduced in favored loca‘ it — nape ng ne wagon freight across tween California and one in a single year, over thirteen million dollars, respectable traific for the most costly road in America of that if there were no more and no other.

So secretly are the movements of thé, Brotherhood carried on that the utmost perseverance’ fails to draw out anything upon which an opinion cam be based as to the designs of the F.

The citizens speak in the highest terms of praise as to the quiet and orderly manner in which the *‘invaders” condi sayin the people of Malone bave a most decided Gympathyr oie the movement. The popuiation of this town-and county (Franklin) is made up in large part of Irishmen, the | arsed riion of whom are in that condition of life faminarly known as “well to do.”’ As mighi naturally be expected, the Brotherhood had a host of adberenta- bere—more, probably, in proportion to its population’ thanany other county iv the State. Fenian orations,. Fenian meetings and Fenian balls (for many of them. feel inclined to dance old Ircland into innagennrseeh are> not rarities among the people of Malone. There is some= thing in the name, too, that smacks of Celticiem; ascrutiny of the physiognomies in the strects would almost convince a strauger that he had been suddenly. dropped into Ballyshannon or Carrickfergus. Ove thing is certain: the Fenians could have no headquarters on this side of the line where they would meet with warmer sympathizers than here, An incident is related to me (i give it tor what itis worth) which shows tnat some movement Canada-ward is being silently made. and that there is ground for the “‘scare” now existing north of the St. Lawrence. The great number ‘of pianos that come boxed up here via rail is astonisbing; and more astovishing still is the fact that the parties to whom these boxes ar» directed are not of the class, socially speaking, supposed to take any very great degree of interest in the digital exercises pertaining to such instru- ments, .

It may be that for strategical reasons the anticipated cam- Paign is to be carried on differently from the last one, when Malone was made the base of operations for the left wing of the Fenian column. Just tweive miles northward from this point the Cavada border is reached? and there is no water crossing necessary, as at burg. For this reason the invading forces ched from here in 1866, and, sooth wo say, vo this point they marched ac! co aiter having fatied in the attempe to take Canada, Whether there is soon to be a repetition of this marching and countermarching, time will tell. Ne United States troops have as yet made their appearance here to * head off’ any Fenian enterprise tbat may be ins embryo; nor are there avy now at Rouse’s Point. Those who were in the latter place have been removed to Plattsburg, which seems to be the rendezvous for all: that have been despatched to prevent any infraction the neutrality laws in this section of the frontier.
