 Domestic A AD1ictiGn-Rarely have we heard

 of more severe misfortune than has fnllen upon the family of our old and esteemed

 triend, Manuel Henshaw, of Hamburg. In letter from him communicating to us the death of his son, youth IA years of age, who died on the llth inst. of canker rash, or the worst form of scarlet fever, he details a truly painful story of domestic trials. On

 his return home from Silver Creek-where he had been attending 10 his duties of col- lector of that port-on the 9th inst, he found

 nine of his ten children prostrate with the same disease-all having been violently att tackled within 48 hours; and on the follow.

 ing day the other remaining child was iIl ot the same complaint-then making ten chil.

 dren all seriously ill ut the same time. The disease was so alarming that his neighbors dared not render him any assistance, and im- aginaiion can only describe the sllfferings of the anxious father, thus situated for l2 days and nights, during which not us many hours slumber was obtained. At the date of MT. Henshuw's letter, three of the children re- mained in precarious situation, aud the others were rapidly recovering. t.t .

 .r., F. WASHINGTON, Jan. l, 1s42 d. NEW YEARS DAY AT WASHINGTON.

 Inc day IS here propitious onc,--as fair and mild as if it were the middle of Spring, instead of the middle of Winter. Not a cloud has been seen in the sky, and from mornlng till evening the atmosphere has been genial enough to make one comforta- Die without the bundling and dressing so olten necessary at this season of the year.

 At the White House " Captain Tyler was "headed" by an immense throng of People, who made their entrance at 12 o'clock, and their exit not moment before 3. It was the greatest besieging, all in all, that re- member ever to have seen for many long day.-a rush without cessation in and out. sometimes at the door, and sometimes, when the crowd pressed too hard here, in and out of the windows on both sides of the man. sion. Men, women and children were in at- tendances-all from extreme, old age, to the infant in its nurse's arms The characters of these in attendance seemed as various az their ages aud staturcs.
