Effects of Lightning. During a great thunder storm last week, a house in the county of Waterford was struck with electric fire. The fluid entered forcibly , bursting open tho doors, and burned four inmates dreadfully, who were standing near the fire. The house-dog that had been lying near the old man, who wa much injured, was killed. A large aperture was made in the wall, and two pigs were also killed, and a horse injured. At the moment this occurred, Mr Grot ty and his family, who surrounded their own tire, were prostrated ; butrfortunately, without sustaining any serious injury. Waterford Ireland) Chronicle.

EARTHQUAKE AT LIMA. We are permitted to publish the following extract of a letter from Mr. S W. Poroeroy, Jr. to his father, giving: ao interesting description of a tiolent earthquake at Lima, on toe morning of the 30th of March. The letter is dated, LIMA, April 21. I wrote you last under date of 20th ult. Since that time this city has been

visited by one of those dreadful earth mmkpq which are looked for about once in a century, and had it continued a few j second longer the whole of Lima must inevitably have been laid in ruins. . The! calamity occurred on the morning of 30th March, at about half past seven ;

o'clock, and although only of 30 or 40 the hawser holes." The wnt m- was very seconds duration, was of such prodigious turbed, and for a considerable time nfviolence as to prostrate many buildings 'terwards large air bubbles came up in

and injured all, including the stupendous churches, some of which are so much shattered that it is contemplated to take them down, their massive walls of, 6 and 9 feet thickness, being literally rent from the top to the bottom. A I great number of houses have been pulled down by order of the authorities and several have, since the shock, fallen of their own accord, in one instance burying two or three persons in their ruins. File amount of injury to the city is es timated, by an official survey, at six mil lions of dollars, .a sum quite within bounds. when it is recollected that from

the nature of the buildings thev cannotjizens, among whom was Gen. Jackson

be repaired in many instances, but must be rebuilt. 1 he house occupied by Alsop, VVetmore &, Co. is considered one of the strongest in Lima, and is said to have cost $90,000. Some of the rooms are . cracked perpendicularly in many places, and in o'hers the upper part of the house (which is composed of bamboo sticks and mud, of about 2 feet in thickness,) separated itself from the adobes" or sun dried bricks, of which the walls, lo the height of three feet above the (loor of the second story are composed, and had ttie shock continued three seconds longer the whole top, with its brick roof, would have fallen in.

culcated by the priests, as the causes of. this calamity. Of course these designing men lose no opportunity to endeavor to retrain their former ascendency, and feeling that their occupation is almost gone, do not hesitate about the means for effecting their object. They look upon foreigners as decided enemies: not only as heretics but as necessarily imparting to the people with whom they have intercourse, a portion of their liberal notions. The residence of the heretics in the country was first preached up publicly as the cause; that the earth indignant at their being sutlered to remain among the catholics, would as it were shake them from her bosom; md we could not walk the streets for a f day or two after, without hearing knots

of cholas and negroes gravely assigning this as the earthquake's origin. It is said Gen. La Mar, ordered the monks to take heed, under pain of his displeasure, and that since, they have been more cautious. Some other reasons were assigned even more absurd and ridiculous. At Callao the shock was felt aftei the dust was seen to rise from Lima, so that

it would seem that it proceeded from the '.mountains to the sea. Those persons who were on board vessels in the harbor described the sensation to be the same n when a ship thumps violently against the bottom, and the noise like that produced by "twentv chain cables running through every direction. Several villages on tlie coast to the northward, have been destroyed. It was not experienced at the southward, but a few miles. I i-ave a letter of the 12th April, from Area, where it was not fell at all. 1 have almost filled my sheet with this engrossing subject. There has hitherto been a stated period for the occurrence of these heavy shocks, and people here feel very confident .that in their lives such another will not happen." Daily A us. Th 4th Julv wai celebrated at Cai-thage-Tenn. by a large concourse of citas an invited suest. The following Actress wa9 delivered to the general by Col. Overton, in bebdf of the conipan) : General You have been inyited'by the ci'izns of Siiiftt) County to unite with them in the celebration of this day; you have accepted the invitation, and now honor them with your presence. Give me leave, Sir, in the name of your friends here assembled, and iu behalf of your fellow-citizens of Smith Caunty, (whose humble organ I am) to tender you their unfeigned congratulations, and to assure you of a sincere and cordial welcome among them I' is not in the abject spirit of adulation, nor in the fulsome language of flattery, that we di-sire to hail )Our presence among us. No, Sir, such a d graded offering would be rebuked by the -pirit that rules this memorable anniversary. These living monuments of our revolutionary glory would scorn such vile degeneiajy, and the tXal eM patri otism ot our honored guest wiajLi dis dain such servility in his rountn mm ; but as freemen, proud of tin ir independence, rejoicing in the event that announced it to the world, we hail ou, with the animated welcome of gratitude, as its most illustrious pieseiver. We delight to contemplate ou as thyouthful hero who mingled, with patriotic ardor, iu that glorious st toggle which redeemed tins land from B: nisn domination. We trace you, with unfeigned satisfaction, through the successive variety of civil emplo) meats to which you have been called by the voire of your country, and in which )ou have displayed tha warmest and most enlightened zeal for her interest. We remember, with the liveliest sensibility, that when savage massacre had drenched our defenceless frontier with the blood of us citizens- when invasion hovered around our country, iu its darkest and most fear ful form, you rushed to the scene of danger, and, ny an energy ana skiii unpa - ii i i 1 1 ... ralleled in the annals of warfare, a. hiev-

General Jackson 's Reply. Sir Permit me to offer you my sincere thanks, for the complimentary termsin which, as the organ of my fellow-citizens of Smith County, you arc pleased to greet my arrival amongst them. I accepted their polite invitation to celebrate with them this day as a neighbor and friend, conscious that in thu? manifesting his respect for the birth of li-

berfy, he could not be charged with a

desire to court popular favor, nor they with a disposition to gratify a spirit so unworthy. No, Sir, the patriotism displayed by many in this assembly, during the last war, would not bear the imputation, and 1 trust will never authorize it by any aci ot servility whether to an old commander, or to any other citizen. 1 am truly grateful, Sir, for the good opiniou of my fellow-citizens. Obtained without a sacrifice of conscience, and ilhout a violation of the interests of the country, it is the greatest of all earthly rewards, and as such do 1 regard that hich you have so eloquentl) expressed. Unbiassed by the hopes of other, and animated by an ardent devotion to the inestimable blessii g of liberty, it must consign to infamy the authors of the piesent system of calumny, and uniting with the great stream ot public opinion, cannot fail to bear down tne machinations of the demagogue, and bring hack the government to its original simplicity.

On Sunday afternoon, July 20, (says the Albany Dailv Advertiser) "on board the steam-boat Matilda, while on her way from Troy to Albany, two men got in a fight, on the after deck. The captain and owner of the boat interfered, and succeeded in separating the combatant?, when some of the other passengers

pretending that t!;Cy conceived inat these meu were imposed upon, assaulted the captain and owner; the hands of the boat interposed to protect the cfikers; other passengers, chock full of fight, and of the creature, assaulted them, and the battle became almost general and very violent. Several persons were hurt, but not seriously. Six of the most turbulent were finally secured in the forward cabin, until the boat arrived here, when the mayor was sent for, who, with a number of constables, went to the boat; she having been kept off in the stream until their arrival, and escorted them lo the police office, when justice Cole committed them to piison. Yesterday they were bailed to appear at the next sessions. They are all foreigners, and have been but a short lime iu this country; five of them reside here and in Iroy. There were about fifty passen

gers on board the boat, a number of whom were females." Torrigviano and the Inquisition. F .m Anecdotes ot ' F.m,ifi. Toriigviano had undertaken to carve a Madonna and child of the natural size, was gjVtJ1 hi,n 0 a reward proportioned to the merit of his work. His employer (the duke dn a-) was one of the ifirst granth es of Spai ', and Torrigviano, torir,er work, lie had passed a creat part of his life iu travelling frem king dom to kingdom in search of employment, and, flattering himself with the hope that he had now found a resting place after all his labors, the ingenious artist, with much pains and application, completed the work; and presented to Ins employer a matchless piece of sculpture, the utmost effbits of his art. The grandee surveyed the stiikirg performance with great delight and reverence, applauded Torrigviano to the skies, and impatient to possess himself of the enchanting idol, forthwith sent to demand it. At the same time, to set otT his ge nerosity with a belter display, he loaded two lacqueys with the money; the bulk was promising, but when torrigviano turned out the bags and found the specie nothing but a parcel of brass maravedi, amounting to only thirty ducats, vexation upon the sudden disappointment of his hopes, and just resentment for what he considered as an insult to his merit, so transported him, that snatching up his mallet in a rage, and not regarding the perfection or (what was to him of morn fatal consequenre) the sacred character of the image he had made, he bioke it suddenly in pieces, and dismissed ihe lacqvies, with their load of farthingto tell the la!.-. They executed their errand too well. The grandee, in his turn, hied with shame, vexation, and revenge, and assumicg, or peihaps conceiving horror for the sacrilegi ous nature of the ai t, presented hims If before the. inquisition, and impeached lbs artist at that terrible tribunal. It was iu vain that Torrigviano urged the right of ah author over his own creation. Reason plead at his side, but superstition sat in judgment: the decree was death, with torture. The holy t fhee lost its victim, for Torrigviano expired in prison, and not under the hands of the executioner. Fatal Affray. On Saturday evening last a quarrel took place between James Jackson, sometimes called Cobus, and John Thompson, two colored men, and half brothers, in the town of Victor, near Brownsville, New-York, which resulted in the death of the latter. It appears that James went to the house of his brother, for his clothes; that, after some altercation, he xvas ordered out of the house, and his clothes thrown out of tne wmoow into the street ; thathechallenged his brother to come out, with a threat that he would lay him up for the summer, if he did. Prevented by his dow, upon a back stoop. As he reached the ground, he was met by James with a large club, which the latter had broken from the fence, and they both aimed a blow at each other nearly at the same instant, but without effect. A second stroke from James club upon the hind part of his brother's head, broke his neck, and caused instant death. The man-slayer immediately fled, and was puisued and arrested in the village, the next morning. On Monday he underwent an examination before Justice Chipman,and was fully committed for trial.
