Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the meetings have general)/ been well attended.

Sickness at Cairo.— -There has been a sad stale oi affairs at' Cairo. In ctmseqncnce of the suspension of navigation, fourteen large steamboats were compelled to lay lip, end had there set ashore some two thousand deck passengers, chiefly emigrants.

They were staying in the adjoining woods, keeping up large Gres, and at the last accounts there was op possibility of getting away.

The Public reeling.

The follow we copy from the Lafayette Courier, one of the best democratic parly papers in this Slate:

The tide of public sentiment is setting strongly sgaipst liquor, .drinking, Hqoor selling and liquor manufacturing, not only in Indiana, hut over the entire country, and, that the maea of the people demand a prohibitory liquor law, in some shape, is a self-evident fact. There is no use shutting our eyes against the signs of the times. A prohibitory law is being tested in Maine, Vermont. Michigan, Wisconsin and one or two other States, and the people of Indiana and the remaining Stales will not be content until they have made the Dial also. The present temporal dissolution of the great political parties affords a favorable opportunity for that tfi.al tu be made.

Thera are two hundred and eight 'hotels’ in our city, says the Cincinnati Daily Unionist, over six hundred red groggerles, beer shops, and coffee saloons; in all of which, or. nearly all, spirituous liquors aro sold, mostly of the cheapest and vilest description, capable of killing rata or turkey*buzzards.at thirty. pace*. A correepondent of the Boston Traveler, writing from Vermont says the' Maine Law is a fixed fact in that Stale. The writer says:

Never did a lav produce a more Salutary change in so short a lime. A grog shop cannot be found in our cities or large towns; our jails hate been emptied, and poverty and wretchedness have fled before the resistless'infjuen.ee of that jaw.

Tl}e Annapolis Republican, hailing from the goot| State of Maryland, says: Judging Irom the feeling expressed in the different counties in this State in favor o( a prohibitory liquor law, we are satisfied that a law will be passed by the next legislature, submitting it to the vote of the people fur their ratification or rejection.— A large number of members are pledged to rote for the passage of such a law, The Maine Gospel Herald estimates the direct annual saving to the Slate from its prohibitory liquor (aw. at a million and a half of dollars. The indirect saving of time otherwise Inst, propeity destroyed, criminal prosecutions, is as much more; not less than three millions in all. The editor says: Under the operation of die Maine Law we have few crimes, our jails are almost lenamless, our poor farms are for sale, drunken rowdyism is scarcely to be met with, even the hovels of our former drunkards have almost disappeared throughout the slate, or been so renovated as to be comfortable and neat, and thousands of children are neatly clad and sent to school, where once they wandered about nearly naked. While thousands of husbands and fathers, wives and mothers, give thapks to God lop the blessings of the Maine Law.

In speaking of the operations of the Mains Law, Hon. Ho.race : Greeley says: We are on terms of ready and familiar intercourse with the practical temperance men of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Is* land and Vermont: and we say what we know when we assert that nineteen-twen-tieths of all those in the Slates just mentioned who personalty abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors! are this day hearty advocates of the Maine Law. The assertions that the law does no good, has not dimtshed drinking, <fec. t dir., come not from them, but almost entirely from those who drink and sell. Maine has recently m-affirmed her devotion to the ■principle of prohibition, by the largast majority she ever gave it; Massachusetts has likewise just elected her llitrd fljame Law Legislature.. . In addition, we may stale that all the clergymen in tho United Slates: all the religious newspapers and periodicals; the good-pi? n °f all parties, and the leading political, literary, agricultural and independent newspapers, are out in favor of a strong and tangible prohibitory taw. |s there any person who will oppose so good and benevolent a law? We hope not!

American Duellists Abroad.

The New York Herald of Saturday informs us that Mr. Soule, our Minister at Madrid, (ought a duel with the Marquis de Turgot, and Mr. Soule junr, did the same thing with the Duke of Alba. ,We dislike to give space lo the records of such folly, but our readers will desire to read the accounts supplied by the Herald, The following version was current in Paris:

A dqel has taken place betwpet) the Marquis de Turgot, the French Ambassador, and Mr. Soule the American Minis* ter at Madrid, in which Lord Howdcn acted as sepppdto the Marquis deTuigol. It appea;a that another duel had previously taken place betwen the Puke of Alba aqd Mr. Sonic, Jun., son of the Minister, arising out of the quarrel to which I al* ludpd to some time ago, and which look place at the French Ambassador's ball. It will be remembered tlpit the Duke of Alba was overheard by Air. Soule speaking disparagingly of the dress of Madam Soule whom he compared to Mary of Uurguddy. At first the poke of Altja declined the cor/e/sent him by Mr. Soqle, op the ground that the quarrel Vas a political one; but since then he seeras. to have reconsidered the matter. The parties fpughl with smallswords. The.-par-affa|r lasted three quarters of an hour. At length Mr. Soule fell; when the Duke with the point of his sword to his forced his opponent to retract, Ji appears that the duel between the Marquis de Turgot and Air, Soule sen., originated in the same affair, so that the puke of Alba, by one joke about an American lady's style of tlreas, has contrived to gel up two duels.

The Madrid correspondent qf the Cronjcle, writing under the date of Dec. Ip, gives the following version of the Son's affair.

A duel look place yesterday, at 4 ,P M., near the Pedro, between the Duke of Alba and Mr. Soule jr., son ol the United States J3nvoy at'this.Court.The seconds of the Duke were General J. de la Concha, and the Count of Punoornstro, and those of Mr. Soule were Col. Milans del Bosch and Mr. Perry, secretary to the American Legation. The parties fought with swords, but fortunately without either being wounded, (at far as 1 canjearn.j and it ended in the seconds drawing up a minute of the proceedings as having been conducted in a manner satisfactory to the honor and reputation of both parlies. It also agreed, l am told, -.that the letters which have passed between them should be mutually withdrawn.

Loss or the (>on. Item.

The following particulars of the sinking of the Gen. Bern, and. the loss; of fifteen lives, were communicated in a letter to the Memphis Enquirer of the Olh insl. The accident occurred at nine. o'clock ai night; _ . ; ... \ A few miles above' Wilriul Bend, in what is called ‘'Grand Ou't-off, ,, the S. B. Gen. Bern; freighted Irom Cincimnil for Arkansas river, met with a sudden and overwhelming destruction. Descending the river with** full head of steam, ‘she struck a snag near the Mississippi'-shore; upon which she poised herself for;a moment, when she commenced:swinging; in which operation she was torn Ihtoajhousand atoms. Within, five .tninutea the boat bad sunk to the humcane deck; when the whole .cabin floated ofl, leaving the hull with about fifteen deck passengers below tho surface, the former a mutilated wreck, the latter hurried yiptimt of accK dent into the presence qf their God, .without a moment of preparation. The cabin passengers and crew, when the boat struck, hurried to the upper deck, Sptne four or five of the former-were thrown off, and were found struggling in the waves, with fragments of the boat supporting them. , fortunately for the sufferers, the Saranac came to their rescue. Within ten minutes of the accident the gallant crew of t|te falter boat were ministering to the sufferings of the j 11-fa-ted travelers. The first intimation which tfie writer of this article (who was a passenger on the SaranacJ had of the accident, was from the hoarse yell of the sufferers tp the waves. Steam was slopped —(fieri were audibble the earnest cries and supplications of the poor sufferers for help—each begging in the (post pjteops terms for the "yawl.” ' The Captain of the S, gave his orders, and nobly did the gallant male perform his duly. His sturdy arm wan soon at the helm, while his coarse and commanding voice seemed to encourage and revive the spirits of (he poor suffers. Their supplications were increased—some from fragments, more from the main deck, and a few scattered along the bank* who had swam ashore, each urging, by all the afgumehls at command, for speedy help. The lnat,e of the S„ fully self-possessed, wenl’to the spfferers wljq had floated lower dowt) the streatp, and commenced fits ascent, relieving alt in his way. When he had reached the deck of the Bern, it was discerned that there was s ipso under the deck, yet struggling for life, his cries scarcely audible. The mate soon procured an axe, with which lie perforated the deck, and drew forth {lie suffering victim, who, almost instantaneous with his delivery, became insensible, and ao remained for several bouts.

The sufferings of the crew was beyond any h ng that I have seen, save in the case of the ill-fated Webstar—some insensible, others almost life fais-the distress may be imagined, but not described. The officers and crew of the Saranac deserves all praise fur their noble exenlona in behalf of (he poor sufferer?. They , rescued about twenty-five sufferers, most of whom, but for their fortunate interposition, would have been consigned to a watery grave. About 12 o'clock wa metlhe steamer Octimt, upon which the survivors fall - 1 believe) re-embarked. The writer of the foregoing saw Capt. Montgomery,.who informed him that his

officers und crew were all saved, and lhai probably about fifteen deck passengers were lost. All the cabin passengers were saved. ' ‘ ' v '" -T

Foreign: News,

- The rupture between Persia and.England happened anterior to the declaration of war by.
