S1,EAM BOAT DISATER.

The Car of Commerce. commanded by
Capt. J. Cook, and owned by Messrs.
Walter, Cock and Hardin, of this place,
burst her boiler about 10 o'clock on We'd
nesday last, the 18th inst. in the Canadi-
an reach, Mississippi, about $50 miles be-
low the mouth Of Ohio. She had taken
inwood about three miles below, and while
running under a high pressure of steam
the force pump was discovered to be out OF
order. The engine was stopped, minute
or two, while the pump was righted, with
out 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 being thus elevated, sent the contents
of the boilers backwards on the upper
deck, carrying all before them, and pro-
ducing terrible hayock among the deck
passengers. Nearly fifty persons were
injured; Of whom few were killed at the
instant. The whole number known to be
lost, by the latest account from the boat,
was between 10 and 20--and many 9th
ers were so so severely injured, that there
was no hope of their recovery. The
whole loss of lives It is supposed viii be
upward Of twenty. Most Of this desuuc-
ton was caused by scalding. The suffer
ers who were not Instantly killed were 10 a
most deplorable condition. The captain
escaped unhurt. One Of the pilots was
slightly injured. Both the engineers were
dead. and nearlyaI the rest oftho persons
belonging to the boat Only one Of the
cabin passengers was injured and he IS
dead. The damage to the boat herselfwas
much less than might be expected from
the terrible destruction among the people
on board. We have received this iaior-
nation from several Intelligent gentlemen
who were passengers, and others who have
since passed the boat. The passengers,
arrived here, speak in high terms Of the
good conduct Of Capt. Cock on this trying
occasion. F0cHS.

OUR NAVY-We noticed few days
since. the fact of the heaying ont, at the
Navy Yard, of the 81 gun ship Hudson,
for the purpose ofundergoing some repairs
preparatory to her sailing cruise. 1t
will no doubt astonish those unacquainted
with naval science to learn. that a vessel
of her size was hove down. her copper la
ken off on one side, recaulked, the copper
put on again, and the ship set up in her
original position, by eight O'Clock on the
evening of the same DAY; We under
stand that the officers and men employed
ON this occasion, received the warmest
appreciation from Com. Chaunccy, the
commander in this station, on the success

It commenced about FIVE O'Clock, and las

very sharp and vivid, and therain descen-
ded in torrents. During the storm, a large
tree situated close TO kitchen Or the
farm of Mrs. Williams, near Lower NAL

The two Houses of Congress terminated
their legislative labours, for the present
session, on Saturday night The meeting
this morning is merely a pro fo77Ha matter;
and before this paper viii be in the hands
ofthe greater part of our City readers, the
adjournment viii have taken place.-Ihe
House of Representatives were taken by
surprise, on Saturday, by the unusual
course ofAIr 5. Wright, evidently the re
suit Of concert and consultation, IN moving
a vote Of thanks to The Speaker. Such a
resolution, at the first session Of a Con
gross, unless where the Speaker resigns
his station, is entirely without precedent
It is true, that the leaders oftbe Opposition
have omitted no opportunity, during the
session which has Just terminated, OF ex-
pressing their universal and unqualified
contempt of precedents; and IN this case
they have given another practical illustra-
ton Of that feeling. The Speaker has
certainly merited the thanks of his party.
Those thanks he has now received. But
the people may be as much at a loss as
we are to discover any extraordinary mer-
it in his course, or ability in BIS decisions,

MY hair Is grly, butnot with years
We heard ofmany instances where
in fright it is said, has produced very
strange effects upon the human system.
The following account we give, upon the
authority of a highly respectable medical
gentleman residentin London. At 1.-THE time
of the funeral of his late Royal Highness
the Duke of York, a gentleman well known
for his antiquarian researches. whose name
we withhold, descended into the Royal
cemetery at Windsor, after the intcrment
had taken place, and busily engaged
himself in copying inscriptions from yari-
Gus collins. While thus engaged. and alb
sorbed in thought. he heard the door of the
cemetry close, with an appalling sound,
the taper fell from his hand. and he remain
ed petriied by the knowledge of his awful
situation, entombed with the dead. He
had not power to pick up the taper, which
was soon extinguished by the noisome
damp, and he imagined that the cemetry
would not be re-opened until another royal
interment should take place; and that he
must soon, from the effects of famine, be
numbered with the dead. He swooned and
remained insensible for some time. At
length recovering himself he arose upon
his knees, placed his hands upon a moul-
dering coffin. and, to use his own words,
''felt strength to pray A recollection
then darted across his mind, that he had
heard the worlmen say, that about noon
they should revisit the cemetry, and take
away some plumes. sc. which they left
there. This somewhat Gained his spirits.
Soon after IL O'Clock he heard the doors
turn upon their grating hinges, he called for
assistance, and was soon conveyed 10 the
regions Of dav. His clothes were damp,
and a horrible dew hung upon his hair,
which in the course of a few hours turned
from dark black TO grey, and soon after to
white. The pain which he felt in the soap
ula during the period of his incarceration,
he described to our informant to be dread
ful. This is, perhaps, the best authentica-
ted account upon record Of a mans hair
turning gray fIem fright.

which should call for so extraordinary
mark of appreciation. Did the OPPosl-
ton party in the House consider it neces-
sary to direct and fix public opinion on the
subject! Did they desire, by this course,
toawe the people intothat admiration which
they might not voluntarily express! Was
it intended to convert the voice of the no
ton into a mere echo Of a party acclama
ton? We are justified in supposing that
some such motive led to this movement;
because we are utterly at a loss TO perceive,
in the career of the Speaker, any of those
indications of mental superiority or pohu
cal magnanimity, which, of themselves,
would be sufficient to warrant this novel pro-
cedUe.

the desperadoes Duff Green and Russul
Jarvis: it receives the special patronage of
the Jackson party in congress and indeed
the establishment is we'll understood to be
the property Of certain members Of con
gress. The character ofthe paper may be
inferred from that of the editors. Incredi-
bic pains are taken to extend the circula-
ton of the Telegraph, and the mails are
literally crammed with the large packages
which are sent in every direction. Mem
bers Of congress, in their zeal to serve the
cause ofJacksouism, send forth large mum
bcrs Of the paper for gratuitous distribution,
and by an abuse of the fanking privilege
send them free Of charge for postage. 1t
is said that Mr. Moore of Kentucky, in a
single week fankcd some thousand OF
them. The New York National Advocate
says, "a gentleman saw a few days since
in the post-oflice in this city, after the O.
peniug Of the southern mail sereraL bush
