On the passage of the ship Alexander from New Orleans to New York, a young !ad aged ahout fourteen years, from a na turally frslieksomc and mischievous dis position, became so troublesome in his pranks that it was thre itcned by the cap tain, if they were continued that he would confine him in a water cask. Our youngster took no heed,4however, and at his next offence was put into the cask, which was hcided itp, leaving a Jari-c risk of the! bung hole for the admission of air. That night tne ship encountered a violent storm, and in a sudden lurch, the cask con taining the boy rolled over into the sea. The circumstance was not noticed by those on bo ml. Fortunately, the cask struck bung up, and floated aboilt thirty hours, wh n it was thrown upon the beach at Cape Si. 151a". Here the boy made desperate efforts to extricate him self from his prison without sdecess, and in despair give up to die. Some cows, however, strolling on the beach, were at tracted to the cask; and in walking around it, one of the number, it being fly time, switched her tail into the bung hole, which the lad grasped with a desperate resdulion. The cow bellowed and set oil for life, and after running some two lion Ired yards With the cask, struck it against a log on the beach, and knocked it, as we say, into a cocked hat. The boy tints providentially released, was discov ered by some fishermen on the point and taken into Apalachicola, where a Small collection being made for him, he was en abled to proceed north by the way of Co lumbus.

If to the ouantitv unsold lying within the limits of the States, tha amount in the territories and regions be yond be added, the agnrecate, according to the official statement of the Commissioner of the General Land omcd, will be nine hundred millions of acres.

Mrs. Elizabeth Rick, of Scott county, Ky., was most cru elly murdered on the 9th ult. , by a negro woman, her slave. The woman had been ordered to make a fire, and she threw on such a quantity of brushwood that it soon blazed furiously. Her mistress attempted to extinguish the fire, when the negro pre cipitated her into il, but she extricated her self, when the woman knocked her down with an axe, and then endeavored to cut her throat, but stabbed her in the mouth and but her longtte in two. She contin ued to use the knife until she supposed Mrs. Rick dead, and then ran into the field and told her master that her mistress had fallen into the fire and burnt herself to death. Mrs. It., however, was able to re late the circumstances, and the negro was committed. the eouu- For For For Fr F,r IV. a S Far loo THliMS. 1 copy 0 copies 50 .. 12 Si oo 5 00 10 00 20 00 dO 00 75 00 yo'its !T11V )f, trnnsmiltcd by mail, D tr ri-'i.

The Montreal Tran script relates the following instance of a supernatural visitation which comes from so resneciable a source that it is inclined to credit notwithstanding the skepticism with which il formerly regarded suchtjles. The following is the second visitation which the lady received from the spirit of her deceased husband. On Tuesday night, feeling stronger and in better spirits than she had enjoyed for several months past, Mrs; : dispensed with the presence of her attendant, reti rino- alone to her chamber, and went to bed a little before 10 o'clock. Exactly as the clock struck 12 she awakened from her sleep, and distinctly beheld the apparition she had before seen, advancing from the tible, (on which stood her night lamp,) till it stood opposite to and drew aside the curtains of her bed. A feeling of suffoca ting oppression deprived her of all power to scream aloud. She describes her very blood retreating with icy chillness to her heart from every vein.
