FRENCH PoLITENEss.-In consequence
ofhaving been made known to the French
Chamber of Deputies that rule exist
ed in the House ofRepresentatives ofthe
United States, giving the privilege iof
seats on the floor within the hall during
the sitting of Congress, to members Of
foreign Legislatures, they were resolved
to maifest the same civility to the mem.
bers ofthe American Congress. The diff.
ficulty was how the affair should be
managed to place Mr. White of lorida
on footing with the members at
Washington, as there was no privileged
seats within the hall of the Palais in
which the Deputies sit. II was propo-
sed to give a place in the Tribune, re.
served for the Ministers, and those invi-
ted by them, and finally to manifest the
esprit de corps of National Legislators,
they furnished Mr.. w. with medal of
a member of the Chamber, which gives

STEAMBOAT LosIoN.-SHoCKINC
OccuRRENCE.-Yeste evening about
8 o'clock, as the steamboat Charlton had
just put out and proceeded a small way
up the stream, one of her boilers burst
by which nine or ten persons was badly
scalded-three were shot by the explo.
sion over the starboard sideof the boat
into the Mississippi, one Of whom it is
reported to have been drowned. We
could not, however, discover the truth
Of this report with sufficient accuracy,
and trust it is not the case.
As we hurried down from the Office
to the river upon hearing the noise Of
the explosion, we first saw one poor
fellow blach man, just brought to shore
in boat which had picked him up he
was badly scalded and bleeding. Two
white men had been taken ashore high
er up the landing, one of them shocking
ly scalded: the skin and flesh of his face
and every part of his person that was
exposed, were crisped and curled upon
his body, and the mucus and other H.
guilds of his frame, forced out of his
mouth, ,nostrils, sand ears,he Jared worst of
all we believe On the boiler deck Of the
Charlton lay two men, one of them the
engineer, badly scalded, the latter espe-
ciaIly, they were the only persons we
saw attended to, and applications of oil
&c. were made to relieve them. -Four
or five others were injured but not so
severely as the above. Only one pas
senger deck one, was scalded.
We conversed with a sensible man,
a cabin passenger,w who was sitting at the
time Of the explosion, between the doors
that led from the sides of the social hall,
he showed US where the boards were
torn away from under his feet, as he sat,
and he expressed himself temperately,
but strongly, with regard to the necessi-
ty of providing some suitable penalty
g for such culpable negligence" that en-
dangers the lives of so many people.
We hope if there is want of care on
the part Of the officers, they will be made
10 answer for it.
P. S. We learn that the I'd engineer
Of the Missouri Fulton, who, was thought
to be only slightly injured, died this NOR
ming, the others, it is supposed, will re-
cover. Two others have since died.

Tin cANAl.--g'I,is |ctk still continues to
proceed bristly, although quite number of
iabQfersoh several Of the sections above this
Nlese have been taken sick, and some few
deaths have occurred. Large numbers of la
borers are daily arriving, and as far as we
have been able to learn, find employment. A
meeting of most, if not all of the contractors
upon that part of the line of the canal which
lies in this neighborhood, was holden in this
place on Tuesday last, at which it was resol-
we'd unanimously, to dispense with the use of
ell ardent spirits upon their jobs. The side
cut ut this place is progressing finely and
hopes are entertai ed, that it will be compile
ted us soon as any portion of the Canal above
can be made available. The second estimate
Of labor done by the contractors has been
made during the past week, and the money
due, according to the estimates, has been paid
in by the commissioners, in notes of the Com
mercial Bank of Lake Erie. The prospect of
a depression in the price of provisions in
very short time, has awakened among he con-
tractors, increasing hopes of an augmented
profit upon their contracts, which we have
reason to believe will be attended with an in
creased alacrity in the completion Of this,
now, very necessary work. 1t is understood,
that a Temperance Society, numbering large
list of members, has been found among the
operatives upon the jobs, and that laudable
spirit for the promotion of the cause of lem
perancesis excited among that class of per-
sons.

FoREIeN.-Since our last, the packet
ship Europe, from Liverpool, has arri-
we'd at New York, bringing Liverpool
dates to the lst of July. There is no in
telligence of much interest. We copy
the remarks of the New York Express,
relative to the news by this arrival.
FRIDAY, P. M.
The intelligence from London brought
by the packet ship Europe is decidedly
favorable. There had been no recent
failures either in London or in the ma
nufacturing districts, and it is asserted
that the Banks have all escaped injury
from the failure that had previously ta-
ken place. The serious decline in goods,
however, had effected the strength of
many Of the merchants to such degree
that it will be a considerable time before
they recover their strength and vigor.
The Bank Of England had become more
liberal, in regard to American paper,
and had discounted pretty freely where
the security was undoubted. This had
given considerable relief to class of bill
holders that previously suffered much in
convenience. Large amounts of specie
had began to reach England from the
United States, which had rather surpri-
sed them, as the previous accounts that
had been received were of the most
gloomy character. The merchants en-
gagged in the East India trade were great
ly relieved by system of hypothecat-
ing goods, on which loans had been made
with the greatest facility. This system
had not only sustained the merchants
but had prevented great sacrifices of tea,
indigo and silks. Prices Of these arti-
cles had. consequently, been well sus-
tanned.
A very large portion of the acceptan-
ces of the three American bankers who
had suspended payments, had been pro-
tested by various houses in London, for
the honor Of the American drawers
and large funds had reached London, ID
meet this description of bills. Itappears
that many Of the American houses anti
cipating the misfortune Of these bankers,
had sent forward large amounts Of pro-
duce and funds to pay these bills in case
OF accident, SO that they should not be
returned to the United States. Ant
werp, Havre, and Paris, belonging to
American houses, had reached Eondoi,
for this object. So great had been the
amount, and SO suddenly had they been
placed in London, that It created quite
a sensation in the money market. One

on this, he of Boston expressly declares, that

that the editorials of the New York Express

SoLEMNITY ANDSHIN PLAsTERs The ed
itor of the Miami of the Lake has directed at
us one Of his long articles, which like those
pre-emption rights called "hoating claims,"
will apply almost any where and any how
We have been at a loss whether to class his
effusion with the "Bulls" of the Sovereign
Pontlf of Rome, resembling them, as it un-
doubtedly does, in its solemn fulminations, or
with those of the more witty descendants of
St. Patrick, to which it is more than equal,
from it's pure Irish richness of expression.
At any rate, he has come out upon us with an
unusual display of that laundering sublmity,
which is SO purely his own, and that, because
we jested little upon the subject of shin
plaster currency, and has tried to charge us
with want of fixed principles. Hear him =
tsTo tell how near the truth it would be to as
sert, that the above editor Chats u.s. possesses
no fixed principles upon any subject, is not
for us to demonstrate This forcible assault
upon our harmless language, reminds us OF
parallel case which we will give, both for its
beauty. and for the purpose Of directing the
studies Of the editor to the lessons of wisdom
which it contains.
sIt is pretty impossible to convey those
IDEAS to others, whereof we are not possessed
Of ourselves, for in SO doing we are liable to
fall into errors, from which it is pretty mpos-
sibIe for us to be eradicated therefrom.
But, seriously; Of our own principles we
make no boast. We shall never so far consi-
der the Miami of the Lake, the organ of the
whig party, as to take its editor for our alno-
ner in political whiggery, especially when he
nllows his pento give publicity to sentiments
like the following ~

The STEAMBOAT o. NEwBERRy.--T This
fine boat, has, during the last week been un-
dergoing material repairs. Her false sides
have been taken off, and her engine improved,
80 as to vastly increase her speed. 1t is said
By those who came up in her from Buffalo,
that her rate of travelling has increased at
least, two miles per hour, speed which will
enable her to keep pace with most, if not all
the boats now afloat on Lake Erie. Capt.
Reed, the commander, lis well known to our

REsPoNsIBILITY OF STEAM-BoAT Or
FICERs.--We are astonished at the appa.
rent apathy with which people hear of
Steamboat disasters. They form an
expected portion of our Western news,
and the tidings of their occurrence is re.
ceived as matter of course. 1t would
almost seem that people had from their
frequency learned to regard and treat
them as unavoidable accidents. In Eng
land, as has already been stated in the
Sun, they manage these things different
ly. An investigation follows a Steam
boat disaster, and in the case of late
explosion there, verdict of manslaugh-
ter was returned against the engineer.
Under all the aggravated circumstances
of culpable carelessness which caused
the destruction of the Ben Sherrod, we
do not hear of any judicial investigation
into the conduct of the officers ofthat ILL.,
fated boat. Our paper of to-day con-
tains the news of yet another +" accident"
on the waters of the Mississippi--a riv-
er which, called by the Indians the z" Fa-
ther Of Waters" bids fair to be made by
the wicked carelessness of the whites,
the grave oftravelers. 1t is no use to
say those things must happen, while the
history of Steamboat navigation in the
Eastern States and in Europe so COM
pletely contradict such an asserlion.-
