.4ccideat.-On Saturday evening the Sd inst.
after dark, whilst the steam boat W lillian Penn.
Capt. Jetfries, was on her passage to the city,
and when near to Marcus Hook, she unfortunate
ly ran on sloop bound down the river, when the
sloop was thrown on her beam ends the head OF
her mast resting on the bow OF the steam boat.
The soop had no cargo on board, and her crew
consisted Of Capt. Townsend. his brother, one
man. and the sister Of the Captain, who was at
the time in the cabin, and SO sudden was the rush
of water that she was unable to escape. In a
moment and with his accustomed humanity, Capt.
Jeffries with his brother Isaac Jef'ries. boarded
the soop. and with the assistance of Lieut.. Frank
lin Buchanan of the Navy, in little more than an
hour cut hole in the side and deck of the vessel,
sufficiently large TO enable them to draw out the
unfortunate young woman, who had for this length
of time been up to her chin in water; the moment
she came into the air, her reason appeared
to forsake her. She was taken to the cabin.
where Invested of her wet clothes and wrap
ped in blankets previously warmed b, the stove,
and every attention bestowed on her which kind
ness and medical skill could dictate, IN two hour,
was quite restored to her reason. 1t is believed,
the untoward occurrence arose from the crew Of
the sloop becoming alarmed at their near approach
to the steam boat, and in their confusion, they
suddenly changed the direction Of the sloop, so
as to bring her Immediately across the bow of
the boat. q. 5. Gag.

in the last resort, to use the language Of
the Virginia resolutions, "to interPose

thick and curling smoke that twisted and
