From London Papers.

The Clydesdale steamboat, Capt. Turner, on her
passage from Glasgow, to Belfast, took fire. with 20
passengers on board. One person persisted. 1t was
about 10 at night when the vessel was discovered to
be on fire, at which time she about l2 miles to
the North of Corsewell Light House.
Captain Turner never for moment lost his pre-
sence of mind, and the conduct of his crew was
exemplary. Finding that the only chance Of safety
was in running the burning masses ashore, he gave
orders to the pilot Maxwell, to that effect. and the
latter Immediately putting the vessel about, stood
manluly to his post, and steered for the Corsewell
light A common sailing vessel would have been
irretrievably lost but here the paddles were kept
at work, the internal heat of the vessel adding to
the velocity of their notion and those who trembed
at the destruction impending over them, had the
satisfaction to perceive that she dashed on at speed
only inferior to their wishes. Kennedy, the keep
er of the Corsewells light, attending to his du-
ties between l2 and 1, when he heard strange and
indescribabe sound from the Westward. In short
time, he discovered bazy light in the distance, and
the shouts Of terror and despair became stronger
soon afterwards he perceived Clydesdale one mass
of fire, her bows and mass covered with human be-
ings and Maxwell, the pilot, standing undaunted at
the helm, surrounded by flame and smoke. Most
fortunately the vessel was accidentally seered into
the only indention in the bold headland of the
Corsewcll Point; and being held by one of her pad
die boxes coming in contact with the rock, the
whole Of the passengers got on shore, truly thank
full for their miraculous delivcrancc.

II. M. RIDGELY.


To the People of the State of Delaware who have
euer Uoted jackson Ticket.
late number of the Delaware Gazette assigns as a
reason for supporting the jackson tickets this State that
if those tickets succeed, Henry M. Rdgey will be sent
back to the Senate of the United States.
For this very reason am resolved not to support the
Jackson tickets. Those who suppose Mr. Rdgely to be
favoe with the people of this State have missed their
man He h. at this time obnoxious to the voters of
Kent and Sussex than any other person in this State.
In the year 1923 he procured for himself scat among
the trustees the poor Kent County, and i'll defiance Of
the laws Of humanity brought among the board those ho
rid oulrages the feelings of the people which will
er be forrue while humanity hold, place in the bosom
Of man. He refused to suffer any allowance to be made
to bury the Dead and when it was complained to him. in
two different cases, that the poor could not be buried
without allowance, he repled--ther cicases rotted on
d,nehiR was nothing him. Every application for
bury the poor by his influence rejected and in one
dead body remained object disgust for three
days before it was buried. The public Indignation arose
to the highest pitch The voice OF humanity raised
in vain The language of Henry NJ Rdgely still the
and he prded himself on his obstinacy 1t was
at this time that he wanted to be Governor, and SO sensible
the Federal Conference of the odum which had justly
fallen upon him. that they refused to him and took
Samuel Paynter as their candidate.
At last the people applied by petition to the Legsla-
for redress against Henry NJ dgey and the Legs-
a.ura passed another law the Goth january 1924 d
recting, in language which could not be mistaken, the
burial Of the dead Still Mr. lgely evaded this law. and
refused by equvocations and shungs to carry into
ecuon that the burial OF the poor remained while he
was trustees constant theme Of cutlery peo-
pie.
For the truth fths apply to the following men, and if
they will contradict the facts here forth, set my state
ment dow, false.
Ask John Burton the physician Of the poor, Jackson
man. ask Daniel Wason of Murd-Henry Carter and
Joseph G. Rowland, who trustees at the time

The explosion is supposed to have been owing t"
the pipe which conveys the waste steam from the

so dreadfuy lacerated that no hopes were enter

On Saturday morning. number of large cases,

on the quay of the Princes Dock. The machinery
which was of great value, was about to be exported
