Tbe terrific hurricune which blew from the northeastIn the tat week of October, which extended from thoBermudas to the Rinks of Newfoundland an<t thcuce totho British coast, will not soon be forgotten by those sea-

hiring men who witnessed it in all its force. New Yorkwm not froo from a visitation of it, an those who recollecttbo rain and wind storms and high tides of tho 23d, 24thand 25'h of October will readily recall. Every day since

Uv n our shipping news columns have been telling thetale of tbe fury of thus terrible nor caster; and the testi

mony of all tti.- captain- of those vessels that were caughtb it is that tli y never experienced such a hurricane, al¬

though -uine of ttiem had been at sea for twenty or thirtyyears. Uy our ship news of yesterday we learn tliut eventhe United States frigate Sab.ne, the tlag »-hip of the Para¬guay expedition, had been terribly handled iathia storm.had lost her maintopsail and foresail, bad uad her bowsstove in, and her steering apparatus injured, and had be 11

.bliged to put into Bermuda to repair damage*. Fourdays did the storm ravage the island itself, doing .u nion*)

damage to property on land, and to tho shipping in the

adjacent waters.

THE MITWKR.H was on the night of tho 17th of October, 13f>7 , that

Mr. John Swanston, residing at No. .310 Went Twenty-seventh street, was murdered. In company with Rodger*on the fatal night were two other lads, Daniel Cunningliainand Stephen Mcfilvney. They were well known to thepolice of tho Sixteenth precinct as loungers about thecorners, and for years had been frequenters of the noto¬rious dens in Seventeenth street and neighborhood. It issuid that one of these boys had attempted a robbery thatsame evening, and drawn either a knife or a revolverupon another individual, who was going home in companywith his wife.

It was in Seventeenth street, near highth avenue, thatRndgeis met his two companions, on the evening of the17th ot October. They walked together for some time, stop¬ping repeatedly at tho saloons to drink. Hum soon madethe youthful murderer reekless. Passing a fruit stand,he demanded an apple of the boy in charge, ami u|k>iihis refusal assaulted him Willi a drawn knife. The boyescaped into a store close at hand, and the threoyoung men continued their walk up Tenth avenue.Near the corner of Twentieth street they stop|w>d atanother saloon, where they drank freely As they cameout one of them, seeing a person jgo l>y whom he thought

he recognized, exclaimed, "There goo® u :nau that I wantto whip," and hastened forward. Hs companion* keptpace with him us he went. It was now about ton o'clockat night.

.The deceased had gone out with his wile to do somemarketing for Sunday, and the two were on their wayhomeward. They YK'lv hut a few Heps from the coineroi Twenty first street when three young men overtookthem. Rodgcia carried his arms a kimbo, so that OMelbow hit bwanaton violently as he wont by him. Thedeceased resented the indignity, swinging his irnis aadberating him in severe terms. The young tn'ti turnedback and attacked him, one of them with a drawn kn.feHwaoston fried "Murder,'' and attuinptod to ward oil thoblows, but without meets*. He received a wound in theBide, iud fell to the ground. The shrieks of his wifealarmed the neighborhood; a crowd gathered at the spot;but it wns too Into. The uDiortuuAto iiuui was brciituiiijjhis last, aud the assailants hod escaped.Ah Swanstou fell, luunuubatii and McCtviicy went

down two b'ock^. then turned to tho right and tied towards Hudson river. Rod:;ers ran down Twenty tlrststreet, and went home, whero he remainod over night.On Sunday he went over into Sew Jersey.where ho wassecreted tcveral days.Meanwhile the police oi the Sixteenth precinct spired

no t tlort to discover the r» ¦trator of the murder. Ui|d.Carpenter obtained intelligence of Cunuingbam. an I ir-rested him on Mondav. WeUm-day Ri.yrswas arrei ted at Woodbridge, where he had form i > re¬

FRKFA RATIONS FOR THE gXEi UTION.At half past teu o'clo k Sheriff Will t main his ap¬

A«»:n 20 ytwits. jIt will be ubeerod that the inscription would ieatl >ih to

believe that Rodgert' Christian name was "John," whereas ho was tried and convicted undor tho namo of James.Whether the discrepancy was the result of tho engraver'sstupidity or done by order of tho culprits relatives we

know not. As the hour of the execution drew nigh thenumber of spectator* gradually increased. Among thoae

by the executioner and some half down Deputy sa«ii^,entered tho ce'.l of th<> condemned and inl'oi med him thattbe 1'atal hour liad arrived, Rodgert received Ins v -iterswith much calmucsH, saying lie was only U>> reaiy to fol¬low timi to the scaffold. The executioner then pro^eedo Ito pinion the culprit and pa.« the rope around Ills nek,all of which Rodders boro with unflinching bravory andresignation. As the noose was adjusted to lirn nock hosmiled and gave other eviden o of his intention to dio likea man. It was no show of bravado, but a c,alm, settled'!« 'termination to meet Ins fate with true Christian forti¬tude. The prisoner was ix»le, hut complacent. Every fea¬ture of his countenance denoted penitence .mil a lively faithin the hope of everlasting redemption. He was attired in

a pair of light colored pantaloons, a whito linen shirt and(hoc*. Attached to his shirt bosom was a cross of a pe¬culiar yellow color, which had been presented hnn somodays previously by his parents, (everything being inreadiness.
