Miss Sarah Louisa Adams, of Orange in this State, was drowned, at Red Bank, N. yesterday, under the following circumstances Miss Adams in company with a lady, also boarding at.Mrs. Conover's, at about 5 o'clock, went down to the river, immediately in the rear of the house, and while there, at the boIi citation of Miss they got into a row boat and rowed out some one hundred yards into the river while there, being unable to row bnt very little, the boat leaked so much that it sunk.

They both immediately jumped from the boat. The water was over their heads, and they then called to a large Newfoundland dog to come to them. The noble animal immediately obeyed the summons, and swam to the spot where Miss A. but a moment before had disappeared. It being so early in the morning, do persons were within hearing distance, except Dr.

Tilton, Mrs. C's. son in law, and Mr. Thos.Le Doty, both of whom immediately ran to the rescue. Dr.

T. being unable to swim, could not reach them. Mr. however, being a swimmer, went to the lady who was nearest him, and sue ceeded in bringing her to the shore but before he could return, Miss A. had gone down for the last time.

The body was finally recovered with a seine. Miss A. was about eighteen years of age, and is said to have been a very interesting and amiable young lady. New York Tobacco. The Syracuse Star states that Robert Fenning and Peter R.

The Case oe Professor Webstee, Sic. Boston, July 18. The heariDg of the case of Professor Webster is now proceeding before the Council 26 petitions, containing about 1,700 names, praying for a commutation, were presented one being from Sacramento, signedby E. Cheever, Attorney and 39 others, formerly of New Eng" land. A knotted crape vine, an inch in diameter capable of causing death by one blow was shown to the uouncil by a noted horticulturist.

The Kev W. Spear and other clergymen then addressed the Council in favor of commutation. The decision of the committee has not yet been made public, but it is without doubt against a commutation, and the condemned, it is said, has been informed of this fact. An attempt was also made to get a reprieve for Pearson (who is to be hung on the 26th inst.) on the ground that be is insane Boston, July 18. The report of the committee on the case of Professor Webster will not be made public to day.

There is no doubt entertained that they unanimously concur in refusing to stay the sentence of death. Later from Europe. The steamship America arrived at Halifax, yes terday, with one week's later intelligence from Europe. "We give the most important news by this arrival. England.

The sudden and violent death of Sir Robert Peel caused a great sensation in England and France. The English papers are filled, toltbe exclusion of everything else, with extended notices of the life and character of the late Premier, and with speculations as to the effect his death will have upon the politics of the country. The parti culars of his death are thus stated. On Saturday evening, June 29th, whilst proceeding from his residence in Whitehall, up Constitution Hill, his horse having shyed at something passing, kicked up his heels and threw Sir Robert over his head on his face. Although rendered insensible by tbe fall, Sir Robert retained hold of the reins, and the animal being thus checked lost his footing and fell heavily upon the top of the baronet.

Several gen. tlemen passing rendered the necessary assistance, and the Ex Premier was placed in a carriage, and removed to his house in Whitehall in a state of insensibility. All the medical talent of London was soon at his disposal. Their united efforts were unavailing. After lingering till eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, the great statesman expired, in the 63d year of his age.

The attention of Government has been called to the treatment which Smith O'Brien has received at Brice Island, but without eliciting anything satisfactory from them. Ibeland. Large public meetings have been held in Dublin, Limerick, and other cities, at which the conduct of the Government has been denounc ed by men of all shades of political opinion. At the Dublin meeting a letter from Mr. O'Brien to Mr.

Butt, Queen's Counsel, was received, confirming all that has been reported about the cruelty to which be was subjected. Nothing of special importance from France, or other parts of Europe. United States and Portugal. We have dates fram Lisbon to the 9th ult. Great excitement prevailed there, in consequence of the arrival of an American Squadron, in the Tagus, to enforce the claim of 70,000.

Twenty one days were allowed by the American commander, for a final reply. Fears were entertained of a refusal. The Portuguese government have determined to resist the demand upon them. In relation to the difficulty between the United States and Portugal, tbe correspondent of the Times says, that previous to the arrival of Commodore Morgan with the Independence and Mississippi, some delay was occasioned, from Mr. Clay's pressing half a dozen different claims, of ancient date, and refuaing all proposals for arbitration, in a manner indicating the possession of ample powers and instructions from the department of State, at Washington.

It was also said that Mr. Clayton had shown an equal disinclination to treat with Henry Bulwer, or to hear any explanation of Tacts, relating to some of the claims arising from the destruction of the American cruiser, General Armstrong," in the port of Eayal by a British force, in 1814. Subsequent to the arrivalof the Mississippi, Mr. Clay called upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and verbally intimated that he should give the government only twenty four hours for a final resolution upon the different claims. He appears to have refused to give his ultima turn in writing, but left it to be inferred that he expected the proposal of a round sum for the whole of the claims.

Mr. Clay assumed a very decisive tone, which had the effect of alarwing the govern ment. But I believe they came to the resolution of Count Iojal's addressing a note to Mr. Clay, to the effect that no ultimatum of twenty four hours tcould be submitted to the council of ministers, unless he presented it in writing. A Powebfdl Telescope.

It is said that Mr. Water Gas Paine has invented a Telescope of most extraordinary power, by means of which the moon is brought so near as to enable a persoJ to smell the green cheese out of which it is supposed to be made. The individual who has taken up his abode in that luminary turns out to be the notori whose mysterious disappearance, some years since, was productive of such iinportani political results in several States in the Union. This Telescope is to be exhibited at the Astor House, simultaneously with the lighting of that establishment with the newly discovered water gas. It is thought tbe Compromise bill will pass about the same period.

Capture. The ship Martha, Lieut. Rush, commanding, arrived at this port on Wednesday, fifty nine days from Ambrose, (coast of Africa,) where she was taken as a prize bv the U. S. brio Por on suspicon of being a slaver, having at the time, the implements of the craft'on board.

The crew', thirty four in nunjier, were put in irons. promise to you, before leaving "the City of Churches;" and I now, "sitting at mine ease in mine inn," with a very warm and gentle shower falling softly on the dry and parched earth, I feel myself in a good mood to meditate on things past, present and to come. Therefore, rashly, perchance, have I resolved to bestow upon you, all the benefits to be derived therefrom my meditations meaning, and not the shower. I wish you would, my dear Eagle, imagine yourself perched upon the branches of one of the beautiful elms which grace the yard of this excellent house, and gazing round, not like a wild bird, but like a gentle, educated Eagle, as you are, upon all things transpiring beneath. Yonder, by one of those most delightful cottages, see that peerless beauty surrounded by a crowd of moustached coxcombs, lovely Mrs.

formerly a Brooklynite, but now the wife of a millionaire banker of New York. And just beyond, observe another group, embracing a Duke, a Count and Countess, and the President of a cer tain Life Insurance Company, together with his singularly beautiful daughter. They tell, here, a very good story of the Count and his lady. It appears that Milord," during the absence of Miladi" she was driving out had invited a large number of his jjentlernen friends to dine. The hour arrived, and though brilliant the jest, sweet the song, and happy the toast and repartee, still sweeter rose the song, still gayer was the story, and more musical, though less boisterous, was the applause, and ringing laugh in the adjoining apartment for there Miladi," without the knowledge of her better half, had assembled around her the elite of fashion among the ladies, and the choicest spirits among the men, and it was only at the close of the festivities that the occupants of either room were aware of.

the names of their near neighbors. But to leave these you perceive, in the centre walk, the charming Mrs. of Philadelphia, a lovely lady in black the beauty of NewOrleans, who has married an old and decrepid fortune and then, most happily, close beside vour obedient servant, see the fairest of the fair, the golden haired beauty of Cincinnati. On every side, you see flirtations and false curls, and figures well made to and youthfulness remarkably preserved and last, though by far the mostnumerous, the high collared, short and narrow skirted coats, which, a year or two ago, would have made admirable signs for any Moses" of them all, in Chatham street, but which now are consecrated to fcshion. There are about three hundred and fifty persons here, now, among whom Brooklyn is very well represented.

Some, like myself, are seeking health some, recreation and enjoyment and one, at least, a fine looking young widower, in search, as report says, of a wife. hey are here of all classes and all kinds, from the broken down noblesse of Europe, to the mushroom pabvenu of New York from the wealthy merchant prince" to the retired butcher who served him with sirloin; s.ye,mon Aigle, from an Editor down to a Justice of the Peace. Notwithstanding all thig, it is very pleasant but I left behind me.at Cozzens's West Point Hotel the most spot it has ever been my fortune to visit. And let me say, en passant, that if you have the inclination, coupled with the opportunity and the etcetera, to enjoy yourself, go there, and if it does not satisfy you, I shall make up my mind that you are as fastidious in these matters as in your matrimonial ideas. To morrow, I leave for the lovely Lake George and if nought happens, and the gods are willing, you shall hear again from Peon Slavebi in Mexico is thus described by a letter writer at Eagle Pa3S, on the Rio Grande Anj body of the working class can be sold for debt in Mexico and these peons receive the worst fare and hardest treatment of any slaves on this continent.

When they get this side of the river, they should be free.but are often too timid and ignorant, (especially the women) to avail themselves of the fact. They are a quiet, respectful, well spoken race, subject to more exuetions and requiring fewer comforts than our negroes. Their sad, downcast air is in strange contrast with the ever cheerful buoyancy of the blacks even their singing has the wail of death in its slow, melancholy notes." Premature Burials. Two horrible incidents, which show the danger of premature interment, took place in the city of Mexico. A woman was attacked by cholera, and apparently died.

She was interred in the cemetery of Santa Palma but just at that moment she awoke from her trance, and the earth being newly laid over her, she succeeded in scratching her way out, when she ran off as fast as she could go. The other case, was that of a woman who, being drunk, was thought dead, and was consequently buried. In a short time the drunkenness passed off and she managed to escape from her tomb, but her singular appearance drew round her a crowd of leperos, by whom she was chased home. Thkow Phvsic to the Dogs. At Lowell, 111., a couple were recently married, and after the ceremony was over a party of outsiders' collected around the house, armed with tin horns, and simi lar instruments of music.

They refused to retire unless the party inside would treat." A half gallon of wine, well qualified with tarter emetic was finally passed around among the crowd, and spsedily disposed of in the natural way. The scene which followed in a few minutes thereafter, can better be imagined than described. Philadelphia still in the Field. On Tuesday evening, during the alarm of fire, a most dis graceful riot took place in street, between Second and Third streets, Philadelphia, in which several hundred boys and men participated Bricks, stones, and firearms were used. Five distinct discharges of pistols or guns were heard, and two persons shot.

A young man named Anderson was shot in the ankle, and a son of Dr. Chambers received a ball in the shoulder. Some of our merchants have already been compelled to make remittances to Europe in gold dust, on account of the difficulties in getting it coined at Philadelphia. In order to save themselves, much larger amounts will go abroad to be coined into foreign gold, unless a mint is established in this city, where three fourths of the dust is brought. Jf.

The late hoar at which the resolution of yesterday was rescinded has compelled us to go to press without our usual quantity of matter. The storm. The storm now hangiug over this city, and dealing out homoeopathic doses of Aqua Distillatum every few minutes, upon the unguarded pedestrians, commenced operations about 9 o'clock last evening.

As time progressed towards the small hours of the night, the winds began to gather their forces for a grand onset upon awnings, tree9, and whatever else offered a show of resistance to voting the storm the freedom of the city." About midnight Old Boreas was upon his high horse, and rode along our streets, banging the stutters against the slumbers of the sleepers, while his attendants of the tempest cut down branches and strewed them in the way," and in the language of a final count of an Arkansas indictment, amused themselves by kicking up a darned fuss, generally." Empty store boxes and barrels seized with the insanity of the elements, and went dancing queer polkas along the pavement and racing each other at a speed derogatory to the ordinance againstjfast driving, through our most popular and spacious thoroughfares. The rocking of the houses, the shrieks of tortured signs, the groaning of rusty shutters, the hoarse roar of the raging waters of the kennels, all curtained in by the rent banners of the conflicting clouds which blackened o'er the firmament, formed just such a panorama of terror as the excited soul of the poetic genius (to use the unapproachable language of the editor of the Advertiser) likes to remember about It's a pleasant thing to be awakened out of the grotesque lights and shadows of dreamland, to col lect your scatred senseee to the appreciation of the grandeur of a midnight tempest 'specially if you have an abiding sense of security in the stiength of your own domicil. Goodness gra. cious kuoWB" (see Advertiser,) we had a Burfeit of the sublime and beautiful, as we gave, from the dry side of our attic window, an hours audience to the careering storm. Talk no more to us of the economy" of this locofoco administration "We doubt whether our Coon predecessors ever got up such an extravagant display of wind and water, clouds, and embryo earthquakes as was vouchsafed to the good city of Brooklyn, last evening There's our gage on that question, and our cotem porary of the Star is defied to make the most of it.

As the silent foot of the morning came steadily on, over the rich lawns of Long Island, the main body of the rebellious winds retreated across the bay, towards the "Jarsies," leaving only a rearguard of light armed zephyrs to skirmish with the advancing day. Such a scene as the battle field presented to the eye of morning, has seldom been witnessed in this church protected city of sinners. Stalwart trees lay as if they had been stricken down by the breath of the passing battle. Awnings hung in ribbons by the last hook, from half the stores in the city, and waved their ragged remnants after the retiring Every street was carpeted with the limbs and leaves wrenched from the beautiful trees, so long the pride of our beautiful city, while every thiog above below arounu, gave evidencejthat the elemental row oi the night, had been conducted on a scale of magnificence "rarely equalled and never excelled." The Stoem. The storm which visited our city last evening, appears to have had a pretty extensive and violent range.

A Telegraphic despatch from Baltimore, dated yesterday, says "A tremendous storm has prevailed 'here all day, and is now more teriffie. The wind has increased to a strong gale and is blowing from the south east. The steamer due from Norfolk at 5 o'clock this A. M. has not arrived, and some anxiety prevails for her safety.

The Bay is exceedingly rough, The tide is unusually high, and is overflowing the wharves, thereby doing considerable damage to the streets! which are thoroughly flooded with rain. There are now some apprehensions entertained that the shipping will not escape injury." A despatch from Philadelphia, last evening, says Our city has been visited by a tremendous ram storm, which commenced at noon this day, and is still pouring down in torrents. Wind S. The steamer Robert Morris, which left here this morning, for Cape May, when within 20 miles of the Island, had to put back to Wilmington for safety, owing to the storm." In New Youk, the storm of last night seems to have made more general havoc amongst the awn ings and trees than in this city. The parks are literally carpeted with boughs and leaves, and many beautiful trees are prostrate.

We noticed several in the City Park, which had been torn through the centre of trunks, and the trees thus completely destroyed. A great number of the iron awning posts in Broadway were "snapped like pipe stems" by the hurricane, and scarcely an awning can be seen that has not suffered some, the greater part being converted into streamers' In the upper part of Gotham, we hear, several tin covered buildings were unroofed, the metal being neatly made up into rolls and deposited in the streets. The Commission to run the boundary between the United States and Mexico will sail from New York, for Lavacca, Texas, on the evening" of the Sd proximo. Passed Midshipman Shaw, upon whom tbe details of preparation are devolved, who deserves credit for his diligence and energy in the business, completed, on Monday last, a contract for a steamer, which is to convey the corps, consisting of 110 persons, with the baggage, apparatus, amounting to 100 tons of freight. The eteamer will carry out a U.
