7 Qua PArEn.--The Maumee Express, Of

7 OuR PAPER.--The Maumee Express, of
this week, appears before its readers in an en-
tire new dress--more respectable in its appear
ance, and in other respects, in no wise inferior
to what i. was. By the present arrangement,
we shall be able to present to our readers over
one third more reading matter than before
This will enable us to throw greater variety
into our columns, and to treat upon subjects
suitedto the tastes of a greater number of our
readers. In the mechanical execution of the
paper, we have still many alterations and im-
provements to make, which the want of time
has this week prevented. In its editorial man.
agement nearly the same course as before will
be pursued. Politics are at present, with us
a secondary theme. We have not the ability
to lead, and we believe we have too much in
dependence to follow in the footsteps Of others,
when they are wrong. We are whig in SEN
timent, without endorsing all the dogmas ofthe
Wing party. We are in favor of an United
States Bank, without acknowledging an iden-
tity of interest between the Wings and any
State Bank in Pennsylvania. We are for
Henry Clay as the next President Of the Uni
ted States, but will support the nomination of
National Convention, il zoe approve Of that no
miaation. But 1t is to promote the interests Of
this section of country that our principal exer-
tions are to be directed-to the dissemination
of such intelligence as shall be interesting and
valuable to ou: friends at home, and the pro-
mitigation of the truth, and the whole truth,
for the benefit of our readers abroad. To this
end we shall give our attention, and we hope
and believe that the course we have taken is
correct.

Such disinterestedness was never seen before
among gentlemen of the long robe. The tale
of, 1.-TWO Gypsies upon one ass was striking
ly exemplifed on the occasion, and if two and
sometimes three lawyers werenot actually seen
astride of one poor client, it was only because
even substantial realities are sometimes wisely
yelled from human vision. e

NEW ENTBRPRrsE.--A new paper, to be en-
titled "The political Ticker" is about to be
established at Findlay, Hancock county, il
this state. 1t is to be devoted to the support
of the claims ofthe present administration ant
to the resistance of the encroachments anc
corruptions ofone of the Banking Institutions

sylvania. The editor, 1--WE do not recollect hil
name) promises to follow in the footsteps Of
Martin Van Buren,, and with characteristic in
nocence, throws himself into " the arms of the
Democratic party" for support. Really, we
wish the Quixotc editor all manner of success,
but would beg leave to inquire if he cannot
find windmill with which to flesh his valor,
without seeking it away in the State of Penn
sylvania. While we are about it, we cannot
forbear expressing our admiration of the truly
classical taste of the Tickler-man, in the se-
lection of title for his hebdomedary and no,
ping that, in spite of its unobtrusive appella-
ton, it may not be suffered to pour its wilder
ness of political sweets upon the desert all
all untickling and untickled. a

Loss OF THE ORoNoKo.-We are indebted
to one of the passengers of the boat for the
following particulars of the distressing accident
which occurred opposite Princeton Miss, on the
slst.
On the morning of Saturday, FL inst. about
half past o'clock, we were stopped to land
passenger at Princeton, Miss; the yawl was
sent ashore. 1t was detained sometime, wal
ting for passengers who wished to come on
board. AS soon as it returned, the bell was
rung to 90 ahead. The wheel had not made
more than two revolutions, when the fue of the
second arboard boiler collapsed, with report
resembling the discharge ofa heavy piece Of or
dnance. Fortunately all the cabin passengers
were in their state rooms, and with the excep-
ton of two or three, escaped without serious
injury. Had we been at meals every soul must
have perished as the box which covers the fly
wheel was torn in u hundred pieces.
The report awoke all of US. The first i'm
preston among US was that boat had run into
us; but in a moment the dense volumes of
steam told what had happened. Some at
tempted to escape by the door leading to the
cabin but found it impossible.
Fortunately most of the state-rooms had
doors opening on the guards, which enabled
them to reach the upper deck, the only place
of safety on the boat, on the lower deck nearly
every person was scalded or blown overheard.
A gentleman standing on the shore, says he saw
more than twenty in the river, two Of whom
were picked up by the yawl.
After the steam had blown of, the scalded
and wounded, As in number were brought into
the cabin, where mattresses had been spread
for them and every assistance which lay in our
power was rendered. Not one half can possi-I
bly, survive, as two of those least injured were.
taken on board the New Albany and died the
same night.
Col. N. Oliver was on board on his way to
Louisville with his stable of horses. Although
he escaped without injury, his loss will be cou(.
siderable. Nine of his grooms and riders, were
badly scalded, as well as one of his horses+-Jo@
Kearney. The Hon. Henry Daniel Of Lexingf
ton will probably lose three or four servants and
his splendid filly Margaret Carson.
Those who escaped unhurt embarked on the
steamer Peru and New Albany, and as the roll,
had not been called before welef, it will be i'm
possible ever to ascertain the exact number and
the names of those who were blown over
board, the following were remembered, Porter
cd engineer--Joseph p. Gilman, deck hand
William Jackson, ed cook--Walker Of Pitts
burgh.

STEAM Boar CoLLIsroN.--As the Steamboat
Cincinnati was leaving Cleveland Harbor, on
the morning ofthe 18th inst. when near the end
of the pier she was run into by the Milwaukee,
and sunk Immediately. The circumstances at
tending this accident are somewhat aggravated.
1t was done in open daylight at place
where there was room, time and notice sufficient
to have avoided it. It was either intentional on
the part Of the Milwaukee, or the effect Of sheer
carelessness; we stood upon the dock at the
time, and Judging from what we saw of it,
should suppose it was premeditated.

4 The STEAMBOAT ANTHONY WAYNE.-This
Boat is taking high stand among the many
splendid new crafts upou the lake. In point
of speed, she stands at the head of the high
pressure boats upon our waters, and few OF
even the crack vessels can show her their
sterns in q fair race. On the score Of accom-
modations, she is exceeded by none. Truei it is
that some of the boats are fitted out in a
more snowy and expensive manner, but in all
the appliances of comfort, ease, convenience,
and even luxury, che is as good as she best.
She has proved herself an admirable sea-
boat, and the ease with which she ploughs
the waters of Lake Erie, whether they be
rough or smooth, is evidence of her staunch
construction, and of her power of engine
There are other matters, of still more conse-
quence to comfort loving traveller than even
these. Onboard the Wayne, you are always
well and cheerfully waited upon. The Cap
tain is accommodating and gentlemanly, and
ever ready to impart to his passengers any
qualification that may be in his power! the crew
is well selected, and the steward and his subor-
dinates are inferior to none in neatness and at
tention to the wants of passengers. In short,
ifyou love to be at ease in your own inn, and
enjoy the day Of you journeying take the
Wayne.
The last trip Of the Wayne, from this to
Buffalo and back, was performed in four days,
thirty six hours Of which were spent in Buffalo.

such persons, we beg leave to remark, that, we

in most cases succeeded. And this we have

BLACK LIST.

THR EsTIMATE.--" The estimate, SIR Uo
yeu know when the next estimate is to be paid!
This is the substance of query that is put to
us many times during the day. "Indeed, sir,
we do nop'--we reply. "We have not the
pleasure of knowing when the officers of the
State will enter upon their duties" The spr-
it Of prophecy Is not upon us. We have no
skill in foreseeing future and distant events.
True, we did predict, somewhat learnedly, du-
ring last year, that it would be inconvenient
for the contractors on the canal, to receive post
notes, due one year after date, and we made a
little flourish about the "honor Of the State, !"
under such circumstances. Pshaw! We were
catching at straws! What has the honor of
the State to do with the matter of paying its
poor creditors ? Has not the State Of Ohio
the best Canals, the most railroads, lin pros
pect,) the most profitable penitentiary, and the
biggest debt of any State in the Union What
other ingredients enter into the compound of
State honor? Certsinly, not that of paying
contractors who are suffering from its default 7
And the post-notes! Why, they would have
been nearly due by this time, and would have
answered the purposes of money admirably.
They would have been worn out long ago,
from the number of transfers, and would have
saved an inconceivable amount Of suffering, as
well as pecuniary loss. And the money, thon
long due, Is not yet paid, and the poor opera
tives, who have been wiled here by the prom
ised lberality of the State Of Ohio, and are
suffering g--starving want of the bread
which they earned months age; the contrac-
tors are at stand; the prospects Of the mer-
chants are broken; and the faith of sove-
reign state has become Of as little value as
