DESTRUCTION OF ANOTHER STEAM BOAT,
WITH THE LOSS OF 160 LIVES.

On Thursday Morning, the 11th inst., the steamer Pulaski
left Charlc,tun fur Baltimore, with 150 passengers, of whom
about 50 were ladies.
At about 11 o'clock on the same night, wl:ile off the North
Carolina coast—say 30 miles from land—weather moderate ai.d
night dark, the starboard boiler exploded, and the vessel was
lint, with nearly all the pas gingers and crew.
. ( From the New York Inquirer, of June 95.

Four of the passengers saved from this unfortunate vessel
reached the city yestcrda7. From one of them, Mr. William
Robertson, of Savannah, we have gathered some further de-
tails of the unfortunate event, and are able to correct some of
the statements concerning it which have found their way .into
print. At the time of the explosion Captain Dubois was
a.leep on a sofa in the wheel-house, in which were with him
Captain Pearson and taco other persons. They were blown
into the 90 ,and Captain Dubois was drowned.

After the explosirM it seems the vessel par•ed in the middle,
chain cables, some hundred tons of coal, and every.
thing about it, sliding down into the sea, the promenade

On Friday, about twelve o'clock, while
upon the ocean, two sails were seen, one in a north.-
aAerly direction, and the other in a south-westerly direction,
about five or six miles distant. On Saturday morning early,
sea a
another stn ill portion of the wreck was discovered, about five
miles distant, with a small sail and a flag flying ; this remnant
made a •
successful attempt to reach those upon the bow, whom
they• :tied about noon. They were five males; they attached
:tied
immediately to their
thousdtes fellow-sufferers upon the bow,
whose number they swelled to 23.
The 23 then proceeded to erect a jury-mast, upon which a
square sail was hoisted—the wind continuing to blow from
the s. E. which qu irter it had been ever since the wreck)
they were blown towards land, which became visible about
font. o'clock, P. M. At sunset quite a strip of land was seen,
and trees discevered. The night was passed without any
material change, and on Sunday morning, upon the occasional
hiring of fog, land was quite apparent, about three or four
miles off, which they continued to approach until they got
within half a mile. The wind, which bad been gradually
corning round, settled down to N.E. about eleven, which
blew the wreck along the coast, about the same distance from
land, during the day. The wind gradually increased in
violence, and the rain poured down during the whole of Sun-
day, until five o'clock, when it became
calm, and the rain
ceased. On that night the wind came out from the N. W.
On Monday it was clear, and quite calm. At twelve that day
the wind blew a light breeze from the S. W.
About four o'clock four vessels passed within three miles,
steeering east. On Tuesday morning about sunrise the
scheoner Henr-
y Camerdon, Capt. Davis, was seen about five
miles off, iu an easterly direction. She continued to near
until within three miles, when the exhausted sufferers were
discovered. She then immediately squared sails, and bore
down to the wreck, which she spoke about half-past eight
o'clock". M. She then passed by, and anchored within a
short distant.., Cadt. Davis lowered his boats immediately
and succeeded in transferring the whole of the sufferers to his
vessel, where every proper comfort at his command was
.humanely furnhhed to these unfortunate beings.
They gave information to the Captain of their unfortunate
fellow-voyages on the promenade deck, and, after cruising
about a shunt time, he fell in with this part of the wreck also.
on which remained, however, but Mrs. N. Smith and Mi-s K.
Lamar, Charles Lamas, two gentlemen, nd two negro
Women, ict an exhausted and worn-out condition. Ten huh
died from exhaustion, and six had left for the shore in one of the
boats which had they picked up, which they reached in sect).
It were needless to attempt a description of the excessive suf-
fering endured 'oy those on the pieces of wreck. Tilcugh four
days on them they felt no hunger, but cxperienc,d the want of
water most intensely. It rained all day on Sunday, but tl,e)

being so saturated with salt water that the rain they caught
with them could not be swallowed. Mr. Joseph Auze, for-
merly of Savannah, was clinging to the mainmast, when
fell and killed him. Judge Rochester is the individual men-

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE BURNING OF THE WASH-
INGTON ON LAKE ERIE —The boat could have been run on
share, it is thought, had not the engine unfartureve ly stopped
a short time to pick up the yawl. The Washington left
Cleveland June Ilth, at eight a.m., and at two aim. on Sa-
turday reached thlter 'Creek, where she was burnt—thirty-
two miles from Bufido. It is difficult to picture the scene of
horror when the passengers were waked from their slumbers,
in the midst of flames. Numbers precipitated themselves into
the Lake, and in shrieks of despair, sunk to rise no more ;
s"me clung to boards, &c., and thug got ashore. The Sinai
boat took off tu coy-five souls. It is thought forty in nil
perished. Many remaining on board, it is believed, were
burnt to death—some most hoi:ritly burnt plunged into the
water, and were thus drowned, suffering a double death, A
Mr. Shadds is the only survivor of seven of his family. Mr.
Michael Parker lost hiS wife, parents, sister and her child. A
poor Englishman and two of his children were drownod. Alse,
a newly married couple who jumped overboard, and sunk in
each others arms.' Most of the crew were sinved, also a e
Captain. One hundred Life Preservers, says the 131ffalo-
nean, would have saved all on board. Several of the passel:.
germ died, it is helieved, of convulsions from terror.
The Rochester Democrat has the following: —" In addition
to the foregoing, we learn by a gentleman who barely escaped
with his life, that one lady who lost her husband and two chit,
dren was picked up alive, although, by holding on to the boat
the fingers of both her hands were burned off, and her face
shockingly burned also. It was supposed she could not live.
LOSS OF THE STEAMER MUSCOGER,--The steamer liins-
coqee, of Columbus, Captain H. W. Van Vechten, late in the
service of the United States, was wrecked in a Bale of wind
and went down, about 40 miles to the northward of Cape
Florida, on the 234 ult. On her passage from Indian River
to Apalachicola, she came to in fair weather, for the purpose
of cleaning out her boilers. This, we believe, is a usual pre-
caution with steamers at sea, and deemed indispensable. '['hey
were found, on examination, to have been burnt, and the
engineer went about the repair, Before he had completed
the repair a germ arose very suddenly, which fora while it w-s
hoped she would be enabled to ride out, by keeping her head to
windward. But the wind continuing to increase, on the second
day her cabins were cut away. During the night of the
second day the wind increased to a gale, and three cf the
hands were swept off by the sea, which made a clean breath
over her decks. The boat also commenced leaking Lally,
and all the hands were kept at the pumps. For a while it was
hoped by these means she might be kept afloat. But on the
third day, the wind still freshening, the leak increased, aed
she filled rapidly, that it was with difficulty the hands emelt'
take to the boats tefore she went down. Two small boats
were brought elonsi le, and the Captain, together with one of
the owners of the steamer, who was on board, and the crew,
19 persons in all, leapt in ; but before they could all leave the
steamer, he boiler deck was level with the water, She went
down immediately. The mate, Mr. Richardson, in effecting
his escape from the steamer, owing to a sudden lurch, fell me-
tier the boiler deck, anti his shoulder was badly fractured. lie
was rescued, however, by the timely exertions of Captain Van
Vechten, and placed-in one of the small beats.
Thus exposed, without water or p.ocisiofis, on a coast in-
fested with hostile savages, they had nothing better to propose
than to make fur the nearest white settlement. Fortunate:y
the storm abated, and a breeze sp-inging up from the west-
ward, they struck off for Key West. After being nut four
days, they were picked up by the steamer Girap, and lauded
in Key West ; at which place they chartered a sellout r, fled

The Mustoyee was owned in Columbus, Geo, and was not

Hollidaysburg. June 19, 1838.
This place was visited this

witnessed in this part of the country.
It comtne.iced raining last night about eleven o'clock, and
continued to pour an uninterrupted torrent until about 4,
when the waters of Juniata were found to be rising with feu.
ful rapidity. The arches of the viaduct were soon found in-
sufficient to allow the passage of the flood, and the whole of
the Claysport was soon under water, the turnpike presenting
a continued sheet of water, with the call-road for its bank, for
half a mile, The water coilinucd to rise until it was four or

The Senate did not sit to-day.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. Adams, who as every
me thought, had spun out hig long yarn on the Texas report,
took the floor, and began his speech over again. He accused
the House, the Speaker, and the Committees, of treating me-
morials disrespectfully, and, as an instance of it, he mentioned
that the Mese, at the last session, refused to receive a peti-
tion from slaves. The Speaker interposed and pronounced
Mr. A.'s rep-larks irrelevant to the question, and out of order.
Air. Adams insisted that he was in order, and that the Chair
teas out of order.
. The Speaker called upon the HOUSe to support hilt, and Air. Adams appealed to the Mew to support him. ' Mr. A.

petitions, when the Svc, ker directed hint to take his seat.
Several Members called to the Sns,rg.ennt.at-A-:its to force the
Member from Massaehuimtts to tinier. Much uproar ensued.
Pirindly, the House, by a vote of 115 to 36, sustained the
chair. Mr. Adams then proceeded in order till tile expiration of the hour.
ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.--The 9th of July has been
fixed, on the part of the House, for the adjournment of Con-
gress. The vote postponing the subject was, reconsidered,
and the resolution fixing the 9th was passed by a vote of 145
to 69. The Senate will, of course, concur.

mittee of the whole. Mr. (" Horse-Shoe Robinson") Ken-
nedy, of Md. was the principal speaker. He is a good Whig,
and a
.handsome speaker.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN JANIAICA.—We have received
by the John IV. Cater, Captain Crane, our files of Kingston
p tpers to the 6th of June. The Legislature had been convened
to take into consideration the state of the island, under the
laws of apprenticeship for the labouring population. The
Governor in his address to the Assembly recommends the early
and equal abolition of apprentices of all classes, in the confi-
dence that the apprentices will be found worthy of freedom,
and that it will add as a double blessing by securing also the
future irteresta of the planters. He distinctly informed the
Assembly that her Majesty's Ministers would not entertain any
question of further compensation ; pronounces it " physically
impossible to maintain the apprenticeship nil any hope of
successful agriculture ;" and thus concludes :
" Jamaica is in your hands—she requires repose by the re-
moval of a law which has equally tormented the labourer and
disappointed the planter.
" A law by which man still constrains man in unnatural ser-
vi.ude. This is her first exigency. For her future welfare
she appeals to your wisdom to Legislate in the spirit of tho
times, with liberality and benevolence towards all classes."
AMERICAN IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.—The imports of the
United States for the year exding 30th September, 1837,
amounted to 140,959,217 dollars, of which 122,17 7,) dollars
imported in American vessels. The expotaa during the
year ending the 30th September, 1837, amounted to
117,419.370 ds:llars, of which 95,564,414 wore of domestic ar-
ticles. The exports in American vessels were 91,207,593 dol-

EMIGRATION FROM CANADA.----Wa have recently seen a
letter front the London District, U. C., which goes far towards
corroborating the statements given in the annexed article from
the Hamilton Express, It gives a melancholy picture of the
state of affairs in the Upper Province
'• Emigration from this Province to the United States still
continues, notwithstanding the immense numbers who have
already left ; but it has elian7.ed its character, end now in-
stead of being composed of men of strong poli•ical feelings,
embraces the more cautious and industrious classes-.-Old coun
•
trymen as well as natives. Military clangour keeps one por-
tion of the people from brooding over the general depression.
while a morbid melancholy seems to have seized others, who
are apathetic as to the consequences of passing events, mid
look upcin emigration as a pancea for all their ills.
To such an extent has emigration been carried on, that in
same parts of the London District, we have credibly been in-
formed, there are not males enough left to gather a tithe of the
crops. Some farms have sacrificed their homesteads for a
t• ilk, whilst others have actually abandoned them.
But this is not all. The spirit of chastise is extending like
an epidemic, and several parties from the country are now tra-
versing the western states, looking for locations to provide fur
an extensive emigration. Something should be done to stop
this general depopulation of the country and give hope to the
people; what ought to be we leave to the wisdom of Lord
Deehatn, merely observing, that from a very wide inquiry, we
are led to believe that ;t general amnesty for political offences
(with certain excepted) would b:ing back many valuable sub-
jects, retard the departure of others, and restore confidence
among the ina,s of the people.

INQUEST ON TUE TWENTY-SIX CHILDEN
DIiOWNEd AT SILKSTONE.—The deaths of the unfortunate children were
eau:a:it in tha following melancholy manner. The whole of them,
amountinz to twenty-931d iti number, in consequenee of the alarm
and confusion, went up the fbot-ral or day.hole of the pit, whereas,
had the" remained in the ph-bottout, they would'undoubtedly have been
all saved, as the watet did not reach the bottom of the pit. When the
children had passed through a dmr, a little more than half-way up the
day-hole, they were met by the watts, which, having previously broken
dow. a wall in the day.hule, that had dammed it up, went with redoubled
((nee, and the children were driven hat k against the door and there
Browne t, with the exception of two. Those two escaped in the most
providential and miraculous manner, by being washed into two sits its
the side of the day hole, where they remained until the stream of water
had pas4ed. The children, on being taken out of th7' day hole, were
immetbately conveyed to the residences of their difiltrent parents.
The inspection of the bodies, therefore, by the coroner and jury, wars a
work cf no small difficulty and labour; and as the g,eater tart of the
jury were on foot, the inspection occupied from five o'clock, the time of
c.ssembling of the jury, until considerably atter eight. After going to
the houses of the entire number drowned, time jury went to the Red
Lion, at silkstomme, where the inquest sat, and after a Midi' coahnitatioN,
returned a verdict of Accidental death."—SlaSiela Mercury.
'ROLLS' COURT, FIIIDAY.—Lord Langdale gave
judgment in the case of " Tarleton v. Barnes," which, he observed,
cattle before the Court upon a plea, alleging that in March, 1832, the
plaintifl' Wed a bill against him in the Court of Exchequer respecting the
same matter, and that upon being served with
process, '.e on the lathof
April, 1835, appeared and put in a Vea, which was a! owed, but that the
suit was nut dismissed; and was still pending. The question raised was,
whether the all:mane,: of the pica in the Court of Exchequer (which was
referred to in the present plea) determined the suit, and operated as sr,
dismissal or the bill. He had inquired into the pract.ce of the Court of
Exchequer, and with sums variation in respect of costs, it was subs' An,
tially similar to the practice in this Court in similar ett,;(l. On the a low_
once of such a plea in the Court of Exchequer, the defendant oh rained
:;04, costs but the elfe,:t was not to dismiss the bill and put at, end to
the suit, If the case was such that the Meet of the plea cou'd not be
avidded by the amendment of the bill, the allowance of the plea would
be an effectual bar to ally further prvseranion of the suit, btdt the hill was
