We have seen "a circular from the
Treasury Department, addressed to the
Collectors ofthe Customs, dated lst Sep
tember, referring to the Act regulating
passenger ships and vessels, which was
approved March I'd, 1919. This act is
sent to the collectors "for the purpose of
correcting a misapprehension that pre-
walls in some ports, in supposing that the
rule Of computation under some Of the
state laws, by which two or more chill
dren, Of certain ages, are considered as
equal to one full passenger, may be ap-
piled in reckoning passengers under the
Act of Congress it is deemed proper to
state," says the circular, "that the act
makes do distinction in regard to age,
and that none can be recognized by the
officers who are charged with its execu-
ton but that every person Of Dhateuer
age, OiU be considered passenger.
We believe there exists some misap-
prchension on the subject Of carrying
passengers among our merchants, for
many suppose that two children, under
a certain age, count only one person.
This is erroneous, and we take this, the
earliest opportunity Of correcting the i'm
preston. N. Y. Mer. ADV.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 26. j, is stated
in the Louisiana Advertiser of this
morning, that number of fishermen
and their families amounting to no less
than $50 person, had disappeared dur
ing the late gale at Barataria. The
huts Of these unfortunate people were
all washed away, and the boats into
which they had fled for safety in the
storm, are no longer visible. 1t is
much to be apprehonded that every
soul perished. A great number of cat

AFFECTING INCIDENT. az once tsays
Dr.. Currie, of Liverpool in my early days,
heard, FOR it was night, and could not see,
a traveller drowning, not in the AMMAN but
in the firth of Solway, close by the mouth
of Ihdt river. The influx of the tide had
endorsed him in the night as he was pass
ing the sands from Cumberland. The west
wind blew tempest, and, according to the
common expression, brought in the water
three feet abreast. The traveller got upon
a standing net little way from the shore.
There he dashed himself 10 the post, shout
ing for half an hour for assistance. till the
tile rose over his head! In the darkness of
the night, ard amid the pnuscs of the hurr-
cane. his voice, heard ut intervals, was ex.
quisitely mournful. No one could go to his
assistance no one knew where he was
the sound seemed 10 proceed from the spirit
of the waters. Bnt morning rose the tide
had ehhed and the poor traveller was found
