Pain and disease have the same origin. 6. • From the intimate connection subsisting between mind and body, the health of the one mast conduce to the serenity of the other. 7. Proper vegetable purgation is the only medicinal mode for effec tually eradicating disease. 8. The discovery of a vegetable medicine was a desideratum. 9. This discovery was made by James Morison, the Hygeist, who also proclaimed " the medical liberty of the subject." On the right side of the stone is engraved the following Mori son was the first to protest against bleeding' and the use of poisons as medicines." On the left side appears a record of the presentation to Parliament of the following Ilygeian petitions In 1847 a petition against pharmaceutical poisons signed by 19,950 persons. In 1851 a petition against Latin prescriptions, signed by 3,331 persons." At the bock of the atone are the arms of the Morison family in bronze.

A SLAVE BARRACOON. A Port uguese merchant, named Basilio de Cunha Reis, has been apprehended in New York, charged with being engaged in the slave traffic. The affidavit on which the above arrest was effected was made by Andrew Wilson, one of the crew of the Altivie, belonging to Reis. Wilson's statement, which we take from the New York Times, is as follows :—I arrived in Boston in July, 1855, from a three years' whaling voyage. The money in which I had been paid off—as the wages of sailors generally do—soo❑ disappeared, and I was obliged to go again t) sa. I f ngaged es seaman on board the schooner Mary E. Smith ; the captain told me the ves sel was going to Monte Video, South America. We were not many days out before I discovered that the destina• tion of the vessel had bean misrepresented to me, and, instead of going to South America, she was bound to the Coast of Africa on a slaving expedition. I found that the same imposition had been practised upon nearly all the crew ; the second mate, among the rest, was im posed upon. The captain tried to smooth the deception over—said he was obliged to take this course, otherwise it would be nearly impossible to make out a crew. As the best satisfaction he could offer, he promised us all good wages ; this latter proffer acted as a salve to most, for the pay promised seemed fabulous in amount ; the agreement with ordinary seamen was $6OO, to go .to the Coast of Africa and thence to Cuba, from which pine the passage of each would be paid home ; in addi tion to this, each was to have the privilege of taking two negroes to Cuba to sell. Sailor that I was, I had too much of the New England blood in my veins to sell myself to engage in the slave traffic ; as I was situated, however, I could do nothing else but seemingly acqui esce ; the second mate, I ascertained, felt as I did. Be fore reaching the Coast of Africa some lumber on board was converted into a slave-deck, and everything pre pared for the negroes' reception. Great care was taken to keep out of the way of vessels. There were several kinds of flags on board, of different countries, to hoist AS was deemed most judicious. Guns and munitions for defence were on board to use in case of attack or other emergency. The Mary Smith landed at Cape Padron, on the Coast of Africa, and immediately set about getting a cargo of slaves. Before the entire cargo was taken on board the second mate and myself deserted from the ship and went to a slave factory, or barracoon, as it is generally called, eight miles south of Cape Padron; we here represented that the cause of our desertion was cruel treatment from the captain of the vessel we had left. The Mary Smith soon sailed, and it was lucky that, in the case of the mate and myself, principle overcame avarice, for the schooner, as I have since learnt, was sub sequently captured by a Brazilian man-of-war off Brazil, where the captain and crew are at present imprisoned. The barracoon where the mate and I were received was under the charge of a Mr. Farr 4, who was employed as the agent of a large merchant in Lisbon, Portugal. shortly after my arrival here the mate died ; I tarried there two months and a half, and during this time had full opportunity to learn the manner in which the traffic in negroes is carried on. This barracoon, like all other barracoons on the coast of Africa, was situated in a spot as little liable to observation from the sea as possible ; this was to prevent the detection of the locality by cruising vessels along the coast ; the barracoon was a roughly-constructed affair, and comprised two apart ments, one for the negro males and the other for the women and children ; each apartment was over 400 feet long, by 30 feet wide, with a space intervening of about 75 feet. Each structure was raised somewhat from the ground to prevent damage from the inundations to which the land near the sea-shore is liable. The sides and roofs were thatched. In the two buildings, I was told, there were sometimes 1,000 negroes. The number depends upon the luck of getting in a stock, and the frequency of slavers landing on the coast. The way the negroes are obtained is by a regular system of traffic. Persons are trained to it, who do nothing else but forage the country and steal negroes. They bring them to the bar raceons and receive in exchange beads, calico, brass bracelets, old muskets, or rum. The price allowed for a stout, able-bodied negro is about 8 dollars, and for women and children from 3 to 4 dollars, payable in goods. No children are bought less than six years of age. Such is the infatuation for strong ornaments and rum that parents sell their own children to the slave factors, and husbands their own wives. The negroes, during their stay at the barracoon, are kept chained in gangs of from eight to twelve. An iron clasp is placed around the neck of each negro, and chains attached to these clasps ; the parties are linked together. They make the negroes work, but keep them chained together while at work. The work they have to do, however, is trifling. At this place the nearest water was three miles off, and it was no small labour to bring the water necessary , for drink. Bean., rice, and maddock were the prin cipal food given the negroes. The latter is a root that grows there, and it is made into a sort of soup. No one but a negro could eat it. Within a day or two after being brought to the barracoon the negroes are branded. Eagle barracoon has its own peculiar brand mark, and chooses its place for impressing the brand. The more usual place is on the right breast. Sometimes it is on one of the arms or the back, or one of the thighs. The instrument of branding is always the same, a heated iron, with the brand stamp cut in it like a post office stamp. During the time I was here I tried to get away to go to St. Paul de Loando, where I might see the American consul ; but the agent would not allow me to leave the barracoon. Although he received me kindly at first, he afterwards changed his manner. He was a ♦ery dark, sly Spaniard, and it was impossible to get his confidence. One would not think of confiding anything to him. I saw he evidenty regarded me with suspicion, and I only sought to avert his anger. I knew, if pro voked, he would as soon make away with me as he would with a negro. He went heavily armed, and while I was there shot one negro dea I for disobedience of his orders. At the end of two months and a-half a slave ship came to Cape Padron, some eight miles above, and her captain and some men came to the barracoon to buy a cargo of negroes. This slaver was the Altivie, from New York. A cargo of 400 negroes was bargained for ; the price paid for the men, those in the best condition, was $6O ; for the women and children was paid from $3O to $4O each. M. Ferri arranged with Capt. Mishes, of the Altivie, to have me go with the captain. It was not at my solicitation, although I was anxious to get away. My hope was that I might get off in a❑ Eng lish cruising vessel. As it was I did not venture to make any show of opposition, but went on board the vessel and entered upon duty as a seaman. The Altivie was a schooner of 150 tons, well built, and a fast sailer. The negroes were quickly stowed on board ; the major part were compactly huddled in the hold. Accommodations on deck were afforded for the women and children. There was here &eels air, but the condition of those in the hold was awful. They had to lie in spoon-fashion, and were not permitted to stir out. A tolerable supply of food was afforded, but water was sparingly dealt out. The vessel directed its course to Cuba ; it landed at Santa Nearia, a desert island ; during the passage 100 of the negroes died ; the vessel was 40 days reaching this island ; here they sold the negroes to parties from Cuba, who were there in a vessel awaiting a cargo. Some prime fellows fetched $BOO each. Immediately after the sale the Altivie was set on fire and burnt ; the vessel lay here eight days; meanwhile the captain went over to Trinidad to get a passage to the United States for him self and crew, but as the charge for the passports was 6,0005, he concluded to go without them. I heard there that a great deal of money had been made out of passport money, the whole matter being very handsomely syste matised for the purpose. The captain finally arranged with the captain of the brig William Heath to bring the crew on to New York, at which port we landed on the 24th of May last."

Wentzell's pair•oared race, annually a feature of inte rest amongst amateur rowers, was contested yesterday, and Lambeth was c3nsequently throughout the after noon till dusk a scene of bustle and animation, which bespoke the interest felt in the tradesmen's regatta. Amongst this class of aquatic men there are many ex tremely proficient oarsmen and scullors, and Wentzell's regatta has from its first establishment exhibited first class sport. The prizes were two pairs of silver vases, both valuable and pretty ; and the rival competitors had for some days previously eudeavoured to get them se l ves by close r,",,,etion lutes _ con dition to carry thew First Heat. R. Miller and A. Ayckbourne (Light Blue) 1 R. Ayckbourne and C. Glenister (Red) 2 T. Day and W. Mills, sen B. Palamuentano and F. Knight (Dark blue) 0 The distances were from Mr. Wentzell's up to the Swan at Nine Elms, down to Searle's triangle, and finish at the starting-place. A very excellent start, under the direction of the vete ran C. Newnham, who was umpire, was succeeded by Red taking a slight lead, closely waited upon by Light Blue. They continued in this order for a short distance, but the pace of Light Blue was too good for their oppo- nents, and the latter soon found themselves in the second place. The other two pairs were soon tailed owing to a slight collision between them soon after the start. Second Heat. H. Bleuckho and E. Luttle B. Jones and F. Cross (White) 2 J. Amar and J. Burrows (Black) 0 Distance the same as before, the last-named pair were nowhere; the others maintained a smart race all the way. Grand Heat. Ayckbourne and Glenister Miller and Ayckbourne 0 Blenckho and Luttle ............... Jones and Cross The heat was rowed down owing to the alteration in tide—the men starting from Vauxhall bridge down to Searle's up to Vauxhall and back to Wentzell's. In the start the men all went off together, then Red and Blue advanced in front, and a more extraordinary race was never seen. They passed and repassed one another three times in the course downwards, and then Red led all the way up, closely pressed by Blue. In the round ing, the latter most scientifically beat the former off and were leading by three quarters of a length, when Mr. Newnhatn's rudder becoming jammed he unfortunately fouled Blue, and it was ultimately very properly cided that red and Blue should rowfagain, but R. Ark bourne having hurt his hand the race was deferred. GREENWICH REGATTA. This old-established well-conducted regatta, which is under the distinguished patronage of the Right lion. Earl Fitzhardinge, the L ird M ayor, Sir T. M.

Mo,t liberal prizes were ' given, viz., a boat, value 241. for the first man, and money prizes, amounting to 131., to all the others, the above being rowed for by six watermen of Greenwich in five heats. Owing to the beautiful day, and the general attractions of Greenwich, many thousands col lected to witness the match, the whole length of the town being perfectly alive with human beings, in addi tion to which a great many boats were out, and several yachts, dressed out in bunting, amongst which we no ticed Earl Fitzhardinge's cutter Imogene. The race, which weer very well contested throughout, ended in the following results First Heat, by West-end Men. James Allen ....................................(Light Blue) 1 John Showell William Calder (Green) o (Pink) 0 The distance was from the Dreadnought to East Greenwich, twice round.

This was by far the prettiest heat of the regatta, Burgess and Farthing went off together, and were nearly scull and scull, neither of them being clear any part of the- distance. In this manner they continued rowing desperately, and Burgess at the finish coming in with the nose of his boat only a few yards in advance of Farthing. Parsonson was nowhere.

A ROMANTIC HISTORY. For several weeks the gossips of Almondbury (and oc casionally in Huddersfield), have had food for chat fur nished them by the appearance is the village of a tall and moderately good-looking mulatto woman, who, when in public, generally appeared in silk dress, silk shawl, and with a feather in her bonnet. The rumour was, that she had come from Australia, with an infinity of bags of gold-dust, and was going to be married to a return convict. The facts are as follow:—About 10 years ago, at York Assizes, an Almondbury man, named Joseph Lodge, who was convicted of breaking into the house of S. Stringer, Castle-hill, and stealing 801., was sentenced to 20 years' transportation. He was sent, along with others, to work out the sentence at Bermuda. Shortly after his arrival be wag appointed servant to a doctor, and thus became acquainted with a mulatto named Jane Romeo, who kept a store, her husband being employed under Government as inspector of the convict sail-makers A correspondence was begun between Mrs. Romeo and the parents of the convict Lodge, who reside in Almond bury, near Huddersfield, keeping a beer-house. On one occasion she sent his mother 101. Duringthis time Lodge had conducted himself in such a manner as to make it likely he would receive a ticket•of-leave, and be was sent over to England to obtain one. However, before he was liberated, the Mrs. Romeo appeared in Almondbury, and took up her abode at the beer-bouse kept by his parents. Patiently sie waited, but nothing was heard of the absent Joseph. She passed as a widow, and it was said only waited fur Lodge's appearance to be united to him in wedlock. She bad left her husband and three chil dren, taking with her 8001. The husband bad, in conse quence of information he had received, written to a per son in London, who came to Huddersfield with a detec tive policeman, on Wednesday, and accompanied by Su perintendent Heaton and Beaumont, went to Bradford, where the love-stricken mulatto had been since the pre vious Friday on a visit to a brother of Lodge's. She re• turned to Huddersfield, stayed all night at the county lock-up, and requested Mr. Heaton to get her luggage from Almondbury, as she would go back to her friends aid children, but not to her husband, who bad used her cruelly. The trunks were obtained, and in one of them the sum of 500/. in gold was found placed, part in an old stock ing, part in a bag, and stitched up in some cloth. The money was transmitted to a friend, named by her, at Ber muda, and she left Huddersfield on Thursday tor Liver pool, from whence she sails to Halifax (gova Scotia) this (Saturday) morning, intending 'to go from there to Bermuda. Lodge hat not appeared on the scene, and when he does will find his "dream of bliss vanished into thin air.‘".—heeds Moron. IBER. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• MISTERS AND OPERATIVES-REPORT, OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE ROUSE OF COMMONS. The select committee appointed to inquire into the expediency of establishing equitable tribunals for the amicable adjustment of differences between masters and operatives, and who were empowered to report their observations, together with the minutes of evidence_ taken before them to the house, have considered the matters to them referred, and agreed to the following report : "Your committee have examined a great number of witnesses of different positions in life, with a view of ob taining as much information as possible concerning the subject of inquiry referred to them for investigation. A considerable majority of these witnesses concur in ex pressing themselves in favour of the establishment of boards of arbitration between masters and workmen ; but on examining their evidence it will be found that they differ as to the enistitution of the proposed boards, aid' till more as to their jurisdiction. " Before considering their evidence, or making any suggestion thereon, your committee would wish to call the attention of the house to the existing law on the sub ject of arbitration. " By statute sth Geo. IV., c. 96, disputes relating to past contracts arising between masters and workmen may be settled and adjusted by arbitration. The matter to be settled either summarily by a justice of the peace, or, if that is riot agreed to, by referees appointed by such justice, and if floe iifereea do not agree, then definitively by the justice of the peace. And by the 13th section, in all such cases as aforesaid, as in all other cases of dis pute, if the parties mutually agree that the matter in dispute shall be arbitrated and determined on in a dif ferent mode to the one thereby prescribed, such agree ment shall be valid, and the award and determine t on thereon final and conclusive between the parties, and powers are given to enforce such award. "This act appears to be nearly inoperative. Hardly any one, whether master or workman, ever resorts to it, and its existence is unknown to many people. "The following constitute the principal causes as signed by the witnesses whom your committee have ex. amined forithe failure of this act : " 1. That there exists great unwillingness to go before a magistrate, as bearing some appearance of a criminal proceeding. " 2. That the arbitrators being appointed as each case arises, it is not known beforehand who they will be, and there is reluctance to refer a dispute to the decision of an unknown set of men. "3. That the workmen object to magistrates in manu facturing districts, inasmuch as they are generally ma nufacturer-,, or else in some way connected with manu facturers. " To obviate these objections it has been proposed to establish in the various manufacturing districts courts of conciliation, similar to the Conseils de Prud'hommes which exist in France. It is not necessary to give here any detailed description of these institutions, as two ac counts of them have been furnished—one by the Board of Trade and another by Sir Henry Halford, a member of your committee, both of which accounts are appended to the evidence. A member of your committee, Lord Goderich has also given, and the Chancellor of the French Legation in London has furnished valuable evidence re specting the successful working of these institutions. Your ,committe I would, however, point out that these conseils have no power to adjudicate with respect to fa turf contracts. Several attempts have been made in this country to establish systems of arbitration without the intervention of law. They are raid to have been successful so long as they lasted, but have been generally of short duration. A system of arbitration now established in the potteries works well and is deserving of consideration. It has lasted three year , , and a desire is there felt that it should receive legal sanction, which it is thought would secure its continuance. "It is proposed by some of the witnesses to extend the jurisdiction of any courts of conciliation that may . in this country be establi s h e d b eyon d that o f t h e C once d e de Prud'hommes in France, or that recognised by the Arbitration Acts in England. These witnesses consider that either party to a dispute as to the terms of a future contract should be entitled to have it adjudicated upon by these courts, and that although their decision should not be legally binding, yet, being published, its moral etfect would in most cases insure a compliance with it. Some witnesses expressed a desire that these courts should have power to regulate the rates of wages. "Toe employers who have given evidence before your committee have differed in opinion as to the propriety of establishing tribunals of this kind, some of them, as Mr. W. E. Foster, thinking that they would In ruostca=es be productive of more evil than good, others, as Mr. M. D. Hollins, being strongly in favour of their establishment. " From the evidence before them your committee can not but arrive at the conclusion, that the attention of the legislature might with advantage he direct 3 d to the sub - ject of this inquiry, and are of opinion that the formation of courts of conciliation in the country, more particu larly in the large commercial and manufacturing and mining districts, would be beneficial. Your committee would suggest that such a measure might be introduced as an amendment in the present Arbitration Act, by a reconstruction of that act in the 10th and 13th sections, by which means both masters an l operatives would be enabled, each from their own class or calling, to appoint referees, an equal number by each party, having power to elect a chairman unconnected with either side, having a casting vote. Such a tribunal to be appointed for a certain period, and not for any particular controversy. "In addition to the above suggestions, your com mittee are of opinion that it would be desirable, in order to give greater permanence and force to such boards of arbitration as those above alluded to as having been formed in the Potteries and other trades and districts, that authority should be given to the Secretary of State, on application being made to him, to license boards of this description, and that immediately on such licence being granted to any such board it should be invested with power to decide all questions relating to existing contracts which might be brought before it, and to en force its decisions. "Your committee are, however, of opinion that it would be impossible to give these or any other tribunals any power whatever of forcibly regulating the rate of wage , ,, although advantages might frequently arise, even in disputes on that subject, from the existence in the distriet of a board of arbitration chosen from among the masters and workmen in the trade in which such dispute might occur, a.r, in the opinion of your committee, both parties would frequently be willing in that case volun tarily to refer the question to the decision of such a board." DOUBLE MURDER NEAR DOTER. On Sunday the town of Dover was thrown into a state of the greatest excitement owing to the perpetration of one of the most horrible crimes that has been committed in this neighbourhood for many years past. During the morning intelligence was received that the bodies of two young women had been found, stabbed in several places, and lying in a hollow near the high road between Dover and Folkestane, about four miles from this plite, both having evidently been brutally murdered a short time previous. On inquiry it was ascertained that the poor creatures were sisters, and that they both belonged to Dover, and from an investigation since made, it ap pears that their name is Back, and that they are the daughters of hard-working people living at Albion place, in Dover, the father being employed as a labourer upon the harbour, and the mother helping to gain a subsistence by taking in washing. The eldest of the girls was rather more than 18 years of age, and was named Caroline ; and the youngest, Maria, was about 16. It is supposed, beyond all reasonable probability of doubt that this appalling crime has been committed by a private in the 2d Regiment of British Swiss Legion, a Neapolitan by birth, and known in the regiment in which he belongs as Dedea Redaniez; for during the stay of the 2d Regiment in Dover, this individual contracted an intimacy with the elder of the unfortunate girls, and it appears that, at the time the legion was encamped at Aldershot, he carried on a correspondence with her. She, it appears, returned the affection he had expressed for her, and some pledges of their mutual regard had passed between them, including a likeness of Redaniez which was in the possession of the unfortunate young woman. On Saturday evening last, it would seem, Re daniez came from Shorncliffe, where the Swiss Legion is butted, upon a visit to the girl Caroline, whom he saw at her father's house in Albion-place. While there_ he asked her to return with him to Shorncliffe, for the pur pose of visiting a sister of his, who, he told her, was staying at the camp ; and after some hesitation it was proposed that they should set out for Shorncliffe, which is about 10 miles distant from Dover, at three o'clock on the following morning. The poor girl, it seems, fell readily into the trap which was laid for her, and begged her mother to allow her to go. The mother refused for some time, it seems ; but at last she gave her consent upon the understanding that the younger sister, Maria, should accompany them. No objection was raised; and Redaniez left, saying he should call for the sisters at the time at which it was arranged to start. During his con versation with the girl Caroline, however, it transpired that he was labouring under jealousy, and that he was impressed that another serjeaut in the legion had been corresponding with her, and that she had received those advances favourably. The girl denied that anything of the sort had taken plase ; but failed, it would seem, to remove the Neapolitan's apprehensions, for before leav ing the house he asked for his likeness. On getting possession of it he threw it in the fire ; but onlbeing re monstrated with upon this strange behaviour, be smilingly observed that he intended giving her a better one, and by this manner lulled any forebodings that might naturally have arisen in consequence. At three o'clock on Sunday morning the poor girls left home for the last time in company with Redaniez, who was seen proceeding with 'them upon the road to the camp by a police-officer named Herd who was upon duty, and whose attention was rather particularly called to the soldier from the fact of his having, some time be fore, been in custody for assaulting another member of the force. This policeman is therefore certain of his identity, and as the description Herd gives of him cor responds. exactly with 'the description afforded by the girls' parents, there is no doubt wh a t ever t h at th e s i s t ers left Dover in this man's company. They were subse quently men in the eoldier's company about five o'clock, passing -a roadside public-h halt from Dover_ Nothin,, fu_ wa3i a Ird of the party until the lifeless bod. tlae)your‘ivon i en were discovered on the grass, in the parish of eve' e . Perne, by an employ of the South Eastern ItailYv ay Company, named Cu r li ng . Thi i man was walking al, mg by the edge of the seas, about seven o'clock on Suart a y morning, when he observed what he supposed to be two females lying asleep on the grass, heneeth the spot oio which he was standing. He proceed there chiefly omit of curiosity, and was horror-struck on finding that the first fenale he came up to had been murdered. The bodies were about twelve paces apart. He immediatitly ran for assistance, and by .8 a i clock Superintendent Ste,tr, of the Folkestone division of the Kent constabulary a,r,d other parties were irr - ittendance. Upon the bodges being examined by 16:- Bateman, a surgeon, it was found that each had received four At t abs about the breasts, and that three on each bodyitiv e ere fatal. The eldest had also received a,cut througli,the band, as if she had resisted the murderer's atta , ckijand her clothes were also disarranged. It is b u t r i ght to state that, upon examination, it was discovered that some one had recently bad sexual intercourse with the elder girl ; a n d horrible as it app ears , it i s , th ere f ore, only fair to as sume that the soldier csntmitted the first of his diabolical crimes while his unfortunate victim was receiving hie embraces. Tne other poor girl was probably attracted to the spot by the cries, and she then must have fallen a victim to the we,pan still reeking with the blood of her sister. The bodies were removed to the nearest public_ house and an inquest opened before Mr. T. T. Dela sause, coroner for the district, yesterday, and subse quently adjourned. The superintendent constables of Folkestone, Wing. ham, and Canterbury, and the police immediately com menced a vigorous search after the murderer, and he was traced to HaOree, about five miles from Canterbury, where be posted two letters, one addressed to the mother of the deceased, and the other to the captain of his com pany. They were both written in German. In the former the wretched man alluded to the intention of the girl (Caroline) to go to Woolwich, at which he appeered much hurt. He also expressed sorrow ft r what he had don,. The murderer was afterwards seen in the '-` of Chatham, about three miles from Canterbury, where he subsequently attempted to commit suicide. Observ ing some labourers coming along the road towards him, near the viaduct of the South Eastern Railway, the murderer took out his knife, and plunged it into his body three times. The men ran up to him, and Mr. Bond, a surgeon, was quickly in attendance. He found him entirely pulseless, but after administering a little stinau• lant he rallied, and was removed to the Kent and Can terbury Hospital. Mr. Reed, another surgeon, then examined the nature of the wounds, and found that the knife had passed through the lungs, and that the-unfor tunate man was in a very critical state—indeed, it i s hardly expected that he can live. It was about 5 o'clock this afternoon when he was discovered ; he bad the two cloaks belonging to the murdered girls, turned inside out, and wrapped round him, with the view of hiding his uniform. IU.RNIAG OF THE NORTHERN INDIANA. (From the Bu f falo Courier, July 21.) The first mate, Mr. W. H. Wetmore ; the first engi neer, Frank Farrer ; and Charles E. Marsh, clerk, ar rived in this city at noon, and we have gathered the following statements direct from them. Mr. Wetmore, who had charge of the vessel at the time, made the fol lowing statement : "We left Buffalo Wednesday evening, July 16, at seven o'clock. Thursday morning, about ten minutes past eleven o'clock, when about halfway between Point-au-pelee Reef and Point-auopelee Light house, the engineer sent a man to me and said he want ed me below, and when I reached there the first en gineer, Mr. Farrer, was getting the hose ready, and attaching it to the fire-engine. Mr. Farrer said, Mr. Wetmore, she's afire.' There is a round hole, usually covered with a plate of iron, which was off, between the engine-room and the emokepipe, on the starboard side. I saw a light underneath the maindeck. I turned about and ran to call the men, passing some on the deck, whom I told to run to the engineer. I proceeded to the forecastle, where two or three of the men were sleeping, and told them to rouse. I immediately ran back to the engineer, and found he had got to work with the fire.engine, and also saw the names bursting through the hatches. I saw she was badly on fire, and ran to call the second mate for the purpose of altering her course. Thence Iran to my room, which was along side of the wheelhouse, to get my axes, and had hard work to get through the flames, which burned my hands considerably. As I came forward I met the second mate and one of the wheelsmen, who said they had the beats out on the cranes. I went immediately on to the pro- menade deck with my axes, and when I got there I saw the forward boat was crowded with men. I felt sure they would all be lost, unless I could get them out of it. I took an axe in my hand and ran forward, arid told them they would all be lost unless they got out. " Mr. Farrer, the engineer, and the second engineer were trying to pull them out of the boat, and succee led in getting some out by the greatest possible exertion. At that moment the cranes gave way by the weight of those in the boat, and she went down end forward, and spilled most of them into the water. The boat would hold 13 or 20, and was crowded to excess. When she went down I knew what would result, and did not stop to look at her, but turned round and met the men whom I had sent aft. They said they could not get aft, as the flames would not permit them. I then turned to the passengers and begged them to keep cool, and I would save them all, at the same time knowing there were abcut two cords of plank about half way aft on the lar board side. I ran where the plank was, and also called to the crew and such of the passengers as were near, and urged them to get the planks out. I brought out an armful and then went back to the oppposite side and brought back another lead. I constantly urged the passengers to obey my orders, and f would insure safety. I got them at work getting out plank and wood• work, such as doors and panelings. " We then rushed into the cabin and hauled out the dining tables and threw them forward. We cut away everything that could of ird any assistance. " A woman shortly after came to me and said, am alone with four little children.' She had at the time one in her arms. • 1 took it and passed it up to a passen ger who was on the deck. The woman then passed me the other three. Soon after another woman passed me a babe about six months old. Just previous to this time the Missi-sippi, which was about five or six miles astern when the first broke out, had picked up most of thorn in the water. By this time her small boats, and those of the propeller Republic carne alongside to pick those off from the Northern Indiana. The boats were full of life-preservers. The persons in the boats kept throwing the buoys overheard, and called to the pas sengers to jump over. The women seemed afraid to do this. A passenger about this time said to me, 'Take this child, and I will go and put them (the passengers who would not jump) overboard.' I took the child, awl had another under my arm, and three more clinging to 1113. The passenger (whose name I did not learn) worked heroically, and succeeded in getting three women acid men into the water, and then I lowered the children away to them by heaving lines. My friend, the pas senger, was the last man, with the exception of myself, who left the vessel. " Provieus to leaving her 1 walked aft from 15 to '2O feet, :sod stood there without experiencing any incon venience from the flames; I then lowered myself on the forecastle over the side to see if there was any one. I found no one, and lowered myself into one of the Mis sissippi's boats, which had just come out. We pulled the boat round to the stern of the steamer and took off two men who were hanging to the rudder. We then pul!ed round to the leeward and saw some in the wheel. I called out to them to swim out from the boat if they could. They not doing it, we pulled under the lee of the wheel house, and then underneath, and found two ladies and a gentleman ; got them on board, and told the men to back away, as there was danger of the wheel house droppine on to us. " We then pulled for the Mississippi, and on arriving there asked Capt. Langley for a boat to assist in saving the wreck. We took a lifeboat and rowed to the pro peller Republic, and asked bins to take hold of the wreck, to which he promptly acceded. She was then towed into Pigeon-bay, where she lies grounded 200 feet from shore. I should think I could have remained half an-hour after we abandoned her without any inconve nience. When the flames were discovered the most in tense excitement and panic prevailed among the pas sengers, and it was impossible to maintain any kind of order, and no attention was paid to my repeated appeals to obey my orders, or they would all havebeen saved. It is my p os iti ve op i n i on t h at not a single person would have been lost had they observed presence e 1 mind. I did not see a single person drown, looking constantly after the boat itself and those on board. It is my itu presaion that not more than 20 persons were lost, and of those the, majority were lost by the falling of the forward boat in the 'early part of the disaster. I deny that the Northern Indiana was racing at - the time. We were nearly an hour behind time when we started, and we were running at ordinary speed. We were allowed to carry'4olb., and at no time had more than 281 b. or 301 b. " In conclusion, I desire to return thanks for and bear testimony to the gallantry, energy, and good be haviour of my officers and crew ; also to the noble and efficient efforts of the officers and crew of the Miseis sippi and the propeller Republic. Captains Langley and Weaver did all in their power aid us in saving the passengers, and to them the credit of saving so many lives is due. "Two or three sail vessels, the names of which I do not know, likewise rendered every assistance in their power. I know that some were picked up by these vessels, but what became of them I am unable to say. " W. H. WETMORE. "Buffalo, July 19." Just previous to the breaking out of the fire and before a ny thought of such a disaster had been started, one of the passengers, who had in hid state-room a sum of money (some $3,000) went and took from the package about half the amount and put it in his pocket. When the alarm of fire was given he found it impossible to reach hid state-room, and the balance was lost. He could not explain to himself why he took a portion of the money, or why he should have taken any of it, at the time he did. It was a stiggestiOn of his mind, which came involuntarily, and without apparent cause —one of those incomprehensible things for which there is no explanation. About one-half of those saved lost their ail and are entirely destieute, some entirely so. One man and his wife had $2,000, their all, with which they were going west to purchase a farm. They lost all, and had hardly clothing to cover them left. Another man going west with his family and 500 dollars, all his amp for years, and all lost. A poor woman with four children, the oldest about eight years old,.lost everything, but saved their lives. Another woman with two children, one at the breast, was saved with ' her little ones, but nothing else. ici t :hi t eat ars t ri► h car d :37. 0 CO, e st • 313 Jo a 3 11l 3 v Ld
