LOUISVILLE, March 1o.

Distressing Occurrence. have re- ceived the following account of distressing casunlity that occurred yesterday morning on board the steamboat Sylph from an eye wit ness, who was passenger, and arrived here in the Volant this morning. The Volant bears marks of fire on her wheel house and upper works.
 The Volant and Sylph had exchanged pas sengers and cargo just before the accident = The cargo of the Sylph was not injured. She proceeded to Frankfort, her engine having sustained little or no injury.
 FRIEND CLARKE :-The steamboat Sylph from Frankfort, took fire at the Cedar Ripple on Friday morning about o'clock. The up per deck, including the ladies cabbin, were entirely consumed: Three deck passengers were burnt to death one white woman, one black woman, and small child. Five ladies and two children, narrowly escaped from the ladies' cabin. All their baggage and wearing apparel excepting their night dresses, which they had on, were consumed. The Sylph was alongside the Volant, which, for few moments was in imminent danger. The Sylph however, was soon disengagsd and dropped a few rods below. MT Caldwell, of Lexington, jumped overheard, and with much difficulty, swan to the Volant. The father of the child that was burnt to death, was severely injured by the fire, his face and hands being dreadful ly burnt. The cool and deliberate conduct and active exertions of Captains Armstrong and Potter were worthy of commendation.

Curious Erhibition.-Attracted by curiosity, we yesterday visited the exhibition of bones now to be seen at the corner of Bienvie and Royal street. Like many others, we were led to believe, and this previous to your visit, that some ingenious mechanic and naturalist had determined to dupe the world by means ofhis profession and having only entertained the dea we are free to confess our erroneous thought and render justice, where justice is due. We do moi hesitate to say that there is not the least doubt but that these bones are the remains of the different ami
 maj species that in days of yore were found in the world First the great carnipOrous animal, of which no accurate description possibly be given, is wonder by tself and is sufficient to attract public notice, and deserves visit equally from the natural
 Ist and the novst. There are other bones of equally curious sizes, and more especially one resembling the collar bone of human being, about IA inches long. To say this was other than human, judging from sight alone, we should immediately stand con. victed of total ignorance of the human annatomy for in this one particular, the human race is alone
 but then the size so extraordinary, that are led to wonder whence came these remains, for we see nothing approaching to them in our existence, nor read we any thing of the kind having existed many years antecedent to the lives of our fathers There is another bone, much resembling the arm bone of man; it's form is peculiarly striking, and the only reason for hesitation to pronounce it human, is it's exceeding length and circumference, 1t is about 21 inches long, and that part which we should term il
 were actually human the artculang joint is about inches in circumference. There are many other bones the remains of animals familiar, at least in natural history, to the general mass of mankind, to visit all which, for practical information we invite the attention of the public. c.--Ne,O Orleans Mercan tae Aduertisev.

Fearn's CanaL Open.--The citizens of our toI were greeted on Tuesday afternoon last, with si as novel as it was gratifying, viz. the arrival thro the canal, of two Keel Boats, one of which was fl the Tennessee river, loaded with lumber potat, &c. These boats are of about twenty Tons burth and will carry from 80 to 100 bales of cotton VI ease. They went off on Thursday afternoon, in l style, under three voles of muslxetry from deta ment of the Huntsville Guards and carrying full { goes of cotton together with about 50 passengers proceeded with the boats to the first lock at Sivel mill. The lock was passed in safety, and the ' sengers returned highly delighted with the excursi The present price of freight for cotton is g 1-2 c per bale, which is less than one half of the ordin prices of the wagoners.
 We are in common with the whole commur gratified at the successful completion of this enI prize calculated as it undoubtedly is, to be of gr importance to the town in reducing the price hauling both to and from Ditto's Landing. Ev article of Tennessee produce, such as plank, ce posts, flour, corn, potatoes, whiskey, &c &c now be furnished at a reasonable rate, and the in haustable supply of wood on and near the banks the Canal will at all times present valuable stream freight. The staple commodity of the co try is calculated to supply for nearly months st dy loading downwards, for which the canal will I sent an outlet superior to the former one of haul to the river. We wish the propretors the full success in their undertaking, in which they have long persevered with commendable zeal-B.

Election Of GoUernor. r.-The editor of Tuscaloosa Inquirer, in reference to the suing election of Chief Magistrate of the Stf holds, in his paper of March 23d, the foll' ing language:
 ''From gentlemen who have visited Tus loosa from the northern part of the State, learn that in that section, Judge Gayle receive a decided majority cf votes for vernon. This is as it should be; intellig men will not permit their local predilecti to be appealed to, or influence them in choice of public functionaries."
 Now that Mir Walker was so informed, have no disposition to doubt, but as to correctness of this information, more may said. We do not believe one word of it far from receiving decided majority of votes of North Alabama, if Judge Gayle ( not find himself in lean minority, we are ther prophets nor the sons of prophets. Editor of the Inquirer is not, we are cert now to learn for the first time, that the DO larity of Col Nicholas Davis rests upon a CT foundation than "local predilections. venture to predict that these "local predi tions' will be found in the event to be CO., tensiye with the State. His friends have yer appealed so far as we know, to that spl of human action it is true that we hope might receive the united support of Nc Alabama; but it is also true that nothing m was intended by that expression than to u' wish that but one candidate should be s ported in this part of the State. Under full belief that Judge Moore cannot rect the united support even of his own coui we then felt, and still feel, desirous that name should be withdrawn from before public as candidate for Governor. If Jul Gayle is sufficiently popular to defeat Davis without the intervention of third C didate-be it so. We are willing to put contest to that issue, and to abide with a 2 grace by the result. t.-Southean Aduocate

The Steamboat San.--We visited this fine little boat the other day, and found her constructed on plan somewhat new, and as we understand the most sangulne expectations ofher owners have been realized, in their departure from the usual mode of shaping the hull, we have thought brefdescription of her would be acceptable to our readers. She is built with full stern, and not tapered off as sea ves- sels are, to ensure what is termed by seamen clean run;. and in order to obviate the difficulty of steer ing from dead water under so broad stern, she is supplied with two rudders,-one on each side, and connected by ropes so that they easily contro- ed by the helmsman The current from the sides of the boat, she is running found act upon these rudders quickly and powerfully, and enables the p- lot to turn, and hold her, with great certainty Her form presenting greater surface, with the same weight of freight she draws of course, less water than boats of ordinary construction.
 The Sun is 10S feet long, with IS 1-2 feet breadth of beam. She draws 21 inches light and 3 1-2 feet loaded. Her cabin is pleasantly arranged for sum mer, and is elevated above the main deck the ladies' cabin is on side, and is very neat and comfor table apartment the doors, fore and at may be kept open in warm weather. afording the opportunity of pleasant breeze throughi whole extent, when the boat is under way.-Mobilc Register.
