Kmosron, (U. C.) Ocr. 6.--An unfortunate colli.
sion occurred on Saturday night between the steamer
William IV. and the United Kingdom, which, as
might be expected, produced considerable damage to
each. In the former we regret to learn that one of
the crew was killed. Both vessels, however, pro.
ceodcd on their course and continue their usual trips.

"'”S7r.fiiI:o‘iiis, Oct. 6.--‘Va have just received intel-
ligence that the splendid steamboat Louisville, of
this port, on her way to New Orleans, was snagged
and sunk about thii-ty-five miles above the mouth of
Ohio. The passengers and crew, and a greater
part of the cargo, the engine and furniture, saved.

An old man, by name of Richard Roberts, who

young man was shot and mortally wounded with a
pistol hall. ‘He "died the next ‘day, Mr. Thomas

care ‘of justice, but, adds the Observer, it is not be.
lieved that he intended to shoot Grooms, but to de-

_ fend himself against the attack of several others that
were at the time menacing and pursuing him. Be.
tween Grooms and Jones these appears to have been
no ill.will, and the conduct of Groopis was by no
means censurablc, and it is supposed his object was
to interfere in bchalf'ofJones.

Vermont against the World .'—-At the last session

unknown person, while going home from this placo'-:

existed among the surviving friends of the parties.
And these feelings have, pcrhaps,led to the unhappy
deed we are new recording. On the day oflhe late

Greenhaw’s shop, walking aboutthe door in astoop-
ing position, apparently hunting for something-—
Lewis rode up, had a gun with him-—e.nd the first
words that attracted the attention ofthose present,
was his commanding Roberts notto advance towards
him. Atthis salutation, Roberts. straitcned himself
from his-steeping position, and as he did 30, Lewis
fired and lodged the contents of the gun in Roberts’
abdomen, which caused his almost immediate death.

The truly distressing pature of the transaction
detailed above, will be more painfully apparent,
when it is known how intimately the combatants
were connected. The father of one and the mother
of the other, were brother and sister.

L0\\’[-.'LL, Oct. 1,6.-——Accz'1Zmzt.——A most distressing
accident took place in this town last evening. Mr.

Mills, having occasion to go into the upper story of

Michigan.--The people of Michigan have deter.
mined by vote, not to take oventhe preliminary
steps towards assuming the rank of a. State. The

Heavy Dam.ages.—-A suit for breach of promise
of marriage, and seduction, was tried before, the
Circuit Court, in Lexington. on Wednesday last.
The parties, Miss Clark, of Clark county, pla'intifl',
and Mr. Rodgers, of‘ Fayette county, defendant,
were cousins. The damages were laid at $10,000,
and the Jury, after a patient investigation of the
case, ggyfp averdict in favor or the plaintifi‘ for that
sum. ‘e understand that llm r-imnmnthncon of the
case were so aggravated, that the Jury would have
given a verdict for a much larger sum, had it been
claimed. VVe believe this is the largest verdictever
given in the United States in any similar case.-—

Accident.-—We regret to learn, that John Van-
dike,jr. whilst employed in the marble quarry of
Mr. Wm. Frees, in'Whitemarsh township, Montgo-
mery county, accidently came to his death on Satur-
day afternoon last, about five o’clock. As a. box of
stone, which had just been raised from the quarry,
was being emptied into a cart, one ofthe stones, of
a tolerable size, fell from the cart and rolled thence
into the quarry, and after bounding several times. it
struck the unfortunate individual directlyon the,
skull which it dreadfully fractured, and he survived
but four hours aflerwards. He has left a wife and
four children to bewail his untimely end.——[Ger.

Cnonana AND Coivu«:'rs.——'I‘hs most probable hypo-
thesis in relation to comets, is that they-are the
agenls for distributing electricity through the plan-
etary space.

Tho prevalence of malignant diseases may be at-
trlbuted to the want or excess of electricity in the
atmosphere.

A succession of minor causes may have d

isturbed

earth. The revolution of the earl h "rm" ~*'°°‘ '~°
must, unL_y account for the apparent progress oftho
cholcric influence from east to west. ' 

The visit of two comets, in the year183Q, may b

‘the mea-is for restoring a healthy medium to our

atmosphere, particularly as one ofthem will cross
the orbit ofthe earth. .

I throw out these hints, as we do bottles on the
ocean, to attract the attention of the curious, and
lead them to make observations. Cuwrxus.
