The Louisville (Ky.) Focus, received last
evening contains the following particulars rela-
tive to the unfortunate disaster on the Missis-
sIppi:-" The. Car Of Commerce, commanded
by Capt. J. Cock, and owned by Messrs. Wal
ter. Cock & Hardin, Of this place, burst her
boiler about 10 O'Clock on Wednesda, last,
the l4th inst. in the Canadian reach, Missis.
sipPi, about 136 miles below the mouth of tho
Ohio. She had taken in wood about miles
below, and while running under q high pres
sure OF steam, the force pump was discovered
to be out of order. The engine was stopped
minute or two, while the pump was righted,
without blowing off the steam; and when the
engine was started again, about the third stroke,
the stern head Of the middle boiler gave way,
and drove the boilers forward, with the end
down on The bow. The stern end beng thus
elevated, sent the contents Of the boilers back
wards on the upper deck, carrying oil before
them, and producing terrible havoc among tho
deck passengers. Nearly so persons were in
Jured, Of whom a few were killed at the in.
slant. The whole number known to be lost,
by the latest accounts from the boat, was be-.
tweon hftecn and twenty-and many others'
were SO severely injured, that there was mo-
hope Of their recovery.
The whole loss Of lives it is supposed will be
upwards Of twenty. Most of this destruction
was caused by scalding. The sufferers who
were not instantly killed were in a most de-
Plorable condition. The Captain escaped un-
hurt.

DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC.

"When we reflect on what has been, and is

OF the responsiveness of this Republic TO all

for lofty efforts. What brilliant prospects in

The old world has already revealed to US
in us unsealed books the beginning and end
of all its own marvellous struggles IN the cause
of l!borty. Greece, lovely Greece, "the land
of scholars and the nurse Of arms" whero

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

On Satard0y the committee on accounts
made their report which was read Tho JUS
tices of tho Peace who examined TYooiIayt,
charged for their own and Witnesses fees, ono
hundred and three dollars. They allowed
themselves but two dollars day during the
examination, sum small enough in all reason.
The House so considered it, but the Senate
thought dollar sufficient and allowed accor-
dingy. An act relative to tho modo of draw
ing jurors passed and concurred in by tho Sen.
ato. An act authorising in certain casos tho
electors Of President and Vice President. TO
fll al vacancies that may happen in tho oloc-

plcation from tho "Franklin Bank" the style
Of tho institution was changed to "thc Presi-
dent Directors and Company Of tho franklin
Bank" The petitioners for Banks, assigned
for this morning. were on motion Of Mr.. Haz-
ard, postponed to the next session. John B.
Braid and Edward Reid, confined for dobt,
were authorized to petition the Supreme Ju-
dicial Court for the benefit Of tho insolvent
act, in the same mannor as though they had
resided in this State three years, agreeable to
tho provisions Of tho said act. An act author
ising tho funding Of the State debt at an inter
est Of four per cent passed the House, but was
postponed in tho Senate. Mr.. Allen Of P. ad-
vocated the passage Of the bill. lie said that
the same principles should govern men in their
Legislative capacities, that regulated their
private transactions. Individuals who prompt
ly discharged their debts would be willing to
pay the States debts, but those who wero ad-
verse to paying their own debts, he thought
would be in favor of postponing the proposed
act. The committee on tho bank returns

fairs Of the Narragansott Indians. The act

GrtTo day cloecs the choice of Presidential
Electors which commenced on Monday in the
state Of Now-York. On this section of the
country, all are aware, principally depends tho
final question. 1t is probable returns will ach
us before our next, but our readers must not
be di-heartened should tho first intelligence
from that quarter DO unfavorable, because it is
known that the city Of New-York and ito vi
cinity, on account Of the numerous body Of for
eigners thero. are in favor Of General ia ckson
whilo nearly tho whole OF tho state bosides, in
cluding almost all tho solid and substantial
yeomanry tho country. arc friendly to Messrs
Adams and Clay.
Nineteen out Of thirty six Of the Electoral
votes of New York will, in all probability, se-
cure tho election Of Mr.. Adams. We know
well that taero is not a patriotic citizen who
does not dread whatever may be consequent
on The choice Of tho BLOODY TYRANT of
Louisiana and Florida. The expressions Of
Great Britain prior TO the war Of the Revolu-
ton, were small IN comparison to what tho
free citizens of this now independent republic
have suffered at hIs hands We know that lit
tIe-very lktle is TO bo apprehended by tho
friends of tho Administration respecting the
present trial; but should ho succeed, it be-
hooves US all 10 be on our own guard and as
