Steamboat BURNT. The Sun which
proceeded on Monday last week from New
York, below the floating light, for the pur-
pose of towing in vessels in danger of being
intercepted by the new tariff, took fire and
was burnt. The Commercial Advertiser
gives the following particulars, furnished by
a gentleman on board -
The whole number of individuals who
went out in her was 80, there being, besides
the captain and crew, two extra pilots, some
captains of vessels, and five or six passen-
gers who went for the sake of the trip. At
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after towing
the ship George Canning for two hours, the
Sun was about 10 miles distant from the
floating light. The large stove pipe, sud
denly fell overheard, heavy surge having
broke the four stanchions by which it was
supported. The engine, in consequence
could not be worked to advantage; and ex-
tempore sails were made from the awnings !;
but it being found that the boat was drifting
fast on the breakers, they were taken down.
1t was then attempted to work the engine,
and the crew were for an hour and half
endeavouring to hold their course towards
the floating light, when the captain cried
out, All hands forward, we are all in
flames J." The crew and passengers ran
forward, and endeavoured to remove guam
ity of wood, beneath which the flames were
seen bursting upwards through the deck.
But the fire ragged so fercely beneath and
all around, that it was impossible to remove
the wood fast enough, and they retreated
aft. The captain remained at the wheel !;
and several of the crew forward, doing their
duty faithfully at this moment of peril. A
signal Of distress was raised, half mast high,
consisting of shirt and handkerchief; but
the waves ran so high that they could not
be seen by the Revenue cutter, or pilot boat,
which were not many miles distant. There
had been heavy sea and violent blow on
the night preceding. The two boats or
yawls were now lowered, it being about six
o'clock, into which most of those on board
got, and were towed by the burning steam
boat for about 20 minutes-the captain and
hands continuing on board, until the flames
spread over the whole vessel, when they
dashed themselves by ropes and descended
by the rudder into the boats. The Sun was
completely enveloped in fire, which assembled
to great height, Illuminating the sky and
sea for many miles around with ruddy
glare, and bursting through every port hole.
Fearing the boiler would burst, the boats
were cut adrift, and left the Sun in one light
blaze. At the distance of a mile or two, the
steam was heard discharging itself, the ex-
cessive heat having raised the valves. They
then saw the Revenue Cutter making for the
floating light in chase Of brig, but their

NEWSPAPERS. The Boston Palladium
came to us this week in dress so new-so
fashionable-so common-so much like 9TH
er newspapers--that we opened it with
painful anxiety to know the cause of such
change; and, prepared as we were for the
event, we confess we were much grieved to
discover that its spirit had fed, and that the
shadow only was before US. Lest our ewes
might deceive us, we again and again ex-
amined the sheet, but, alas, no trace-no
relick-of the New-England Palladium was
there-the body stood, deserted by the soul.
We had SO long been accustomed to well
come the periodical visits of the Palladium
in its calm, peaceful, consistent, and useful
course-in which it had no competitors, for
as its path was unattainable so it was sought
by none; in which it contended with no
enemies, for it provoked none-that we cher
ished the hope that it would, like the princi-
ciples which sustained it, strengthen as it
grew, and cease not till it answered the
natural demand of death and then to have
attempted to resuscitate it would have SEEM
ed almost sacrilege. Like every thing else,
however, the Palladium has fallen victim to
the esprit of Improvement which is abroad
in the land"
Our readers are already appraised that
Messrs. Young & Minis have relinquished
the management of the Palladium, after
more than forty years faithful service, to
Mr.. G. V. II. Forbes. The exteriour of the
paper has in consequence undergone per-
feet change, and we almost wish it had
changed names, for that of the Palladium
is so inseparably connected with the name
of Young & Minis, that to retain it un-
der the new form Of the paper seems like

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1928.

GT Two woollen factories, it will be seen under
our domestick head to-day have been burnt; one in
Uxbridge, and the other in Milford Both are said
to have been occasoned by the spontaneous combus-
ton of the waste WOOL We can hardly account for
the fact that, during such uncommonly damp sea-
the past has been, this waste should have been
suffered to remain without being guarded against
such an accident. An instance of spontaneous COM
bustion recently occurred in Virginia in spt-box
filled with saw-dust, which may account for the
burning of Saw-mills and Carpenters Shops, where
moist saw-dust has been swept into a heap. The
canvass cover ola wagon, newly painted, and after
wards wet by shower and rolled up, took fire re.
Gently and was almost consumed, making hole
likewise through the bottom of the wagon. 1t is a
singular circumstance, and must be somewhat aggra.
waiting to the propretors of the Milford factory that
policy of insurance was actually made out and
was to have been delivered to them on the day the
factory was destroyed.

During the month of June whale was
exposed for exhibition in Brussels. One
of the newspapers says" We are inform
ed that the proprietor of the whales skel-
eton intends to present to the inhabitants
of Brussels a spectacle which has drawn
crowds at ,Ostend and Client. He will
give tomorrow, at half past six o'clock in
the afternoon, concert of musick in the
interior of the whales belly. Twenty-four
musicians will be placed together in
the cavity Of the thorax of the enormous
fish, and the principal parts will be per-
formed by the first artists of Brussels.
The prices are fixed at one form so cents
for the first row, form for the second,
and rs cents for the third row."
QUEBEC, AUG. Is. The HARVEST.
The last week has been without rain, and
much of the crops have been housed. 1t
is now certain that in the Parishes adj
jacent to Quebec the wheat crops have
been very much injured by blight and rust,
and that they will be under an average.
The other grain crops, and particularly
oats, are good. The quality of the hay
is very inferior, and the crop much under
and average. In low grounds, potatoes
have entirely failed; the turnips are in the
same condition: so that fodder must be
eOaIUc and high. Tho maathar has been
warm for day or two past--Gazette.
LATE FROM THE LA PLATA. Intelli-
gence from Buenos Ayres to the 18th Ju-
ly, has been received at Baltimore. Hos
tilities were still carried on with activity
by the belligerents, although Buenos AYR
can Commissioners had sailed for Rio de
Janeiro, for the purpose of negotiating
peace. The merchants of Buenos Ayres
had loaned $4OO, 900 to the government.
and Admiral Brown was actively applying
the money for the reinforcement of the
navy. The brig Allison, Jones, of Balti-
more, which had arrived but~a short time
before, was purchased by the Government
for the sum of $4,000. The Buenos
Ayrean privateer, Gen. Brandzen, Capt.
DE Kay, in attempting to run into Buenos
Ayres, was so closely pressed by the
blockading squadron that she was run
ashore, and finally blown up. Sixty of
her crew were killed and wounded in the
action. Captain De Kay and part of his
crew escaped in boat. The battery on
Point Lara opened fire on the Brazilian
squadron, and sunk a fourteen gun brig.

lishman) lost an arm.-BOSt. Courier.

PEACHES. We are glad to perceive that
our citizens are paying increased attention
to the cultivation of fruit, especially the
peach. No spot can be more favourable for
this object, and no land is better adapted to
the growth of fruit trees of any kind than
that which abounds here. The cultivation
of fruit has hitherto been too much neg
lected.
Mr.. Ezra Sawyer has presented us with
some peaches, from his farm, (rare-ripes) of
excellent favour and very large. One meas

The heavy rains of last week caused a
sudden rise ofthe rivers, and in some places,
we understand, the consequences have been
destructive. We learn that the Connecticut
rose to great height. 1t is even said that
the rise was 80 feet, and that several bridg-
es between marlborough and Hartford
have been carried away. We have, howev-
er, no authentick information on the subject.
The Albany mail, via marlborough and
Greenfield, due here on Saturday, at2 o'clk.,
did not arrive till Sunday morning, about 1.
Two bridges at Winchester, over the Ash
uelot river, were carried away, and it is said
also several mills. The mail west of Brat
tleborough was not brought, as none had
been received there since Thursday. The
Connecticut was impossible at the ferry in
Greenfield, and no western mail was brought
upon that part Of the route.
The Nashaway in this town rose probably
6 feet in the course of IL hours, but no dam
age was occasioned by it.

KENTUCKY ELECTION. The result of this
election has been, at last, officially obtained
and does not turn out to be so much of a
ii e 8; +he aerra PARTY thoy have
allowed themselves TO UuIsIuer II. 1t Is no
wonder, however, that in the great excite
ment of the occasion Misrepresentation of
the state of the votes should have been
made. In our last, on the authority of sew
eral administration papers, we stated that
the GOVERNOR, 1t. Governour, Senate, and
House of Representatives of Kentucky,
would all be decidedly of the Adams party.
The official returns now received, however,
contradict this very essentially. The Adams
candidate for GOVERNOR, Mr.. Metcalf is
elected by majority of 700 only; and
the Jackson candidate for 1t. Governor is
elected by a majority of 1889. The Senate
will contain jackson majority of t,co, and
the House Jackson majority of t,celve.
Whether this state of things indicates that
the vote of Kentucky will be given for Jack
son as President, or how to form any opin-
on the subject at all, we confess ourselves
ignorant.
We are particular to make this statement,
because in our last we assured our readers.
on what we then supposed good authority,
viz. the National Journal, that not only had
the GOVERNOR of the Administration party
been chosen by majority of 1900 at least.
but that the Lieut. GOVERNOR, Senate, and
House of Representatives would all be de-
cidedly for the Administration. We now
perceive that it was the zeal, the hopes, of
the Journal, on which its statement was
based, rather than its knowledge.
In truth, there is very little dependence
to be placed nowadays, upon newspapers
though we say it who should not, perhaps.
The safest way is to wait patiently for facts
to speak for themselves. The speculations
of editors all tend to what they desire, rather
than to what is probable from an impartial
and candid examination of passing events.
AS to the bearing which the Kentucky
election has upon the Presidential question,
we confess ourselves unable to give any
opinion about it. We think, however, that
all depends upon New-York. The Legisla-
ture of that State meets in few days, and
soon, no doubt, some light will be thrown
upon the subject. But, after all, "there is
no telling who will be GOVERNOR till after

The Salem papers state that all the shares
of the Mill Dam Corporation have been sub
scribed for. 1t is to be hoped that the long
winter OF discomfort which has frowned upon
the progress of this corporation will now be
changed to glorious summer of success.
Salem possesses immense natural advantages
for becoming a great manufacturing place,
and publick spirit and union of energies
are all that is wanted to make it so.

The new editor of the Palladium will ex-
cuse us--we would by no means infer that
the paper is like to deteriorate in his hands,
or that its appearance under the new form
is not altogether honorable to him. The
peculiar character which has so long mark
ed the paper, and the universal esteem in
which its proprietors, as conductors of a
publick journal, are held, justify as in our
remarks; and much more, even, might be
said without injury or disparagement to any
one who might succeed them.
Mr.. Forbes is already very favourably
known to the publick as an editor, of liberal
and enlightened mind, and as writer of the
first order. The first number of his Palla-
dunn speaks much in his praise, and we are
persuaded that the old subscribers to the pa
per will have reason to be abundantly salts
fed with the transfer of their support to its
new proprietor.
