DEPARTURE OF THE SIRIUS.

The steam packet Sirius departed from
New York for Portsmouth and London, at
l o'clock on Tuesday, May lst. She had
so passengers on board. 1t is stated that
on heaving the log in the neighborhood of
Sandy Hook, she made full nine knots an
hour. In noticing the departure, the New
Era says:
"About hundred yards from the outer
wharf of Castle Garden lay the Sirius, with
her ensigns displayed ut her mast head, and
the steam Kissing out at the waste pipe,
while scores of our gay club boats kept
shooting around her dark hull, and numer-
Gus dashing skitfs belonging to the White
hall boatmen were hanging on to her quar-
ter, waiting for parties that had gone on
board to take last farewell of some Of the
many passengers bound to the eastward on
this new sort of exploring expedition.
Shortly after II. o'clock, one of the Brook
lyn ferry boats went along side with the let,
ter bags, and after brief interval, during
which we couIdsee the merry tars engaged
in getting their anchor apeak, the ferry
boat sheered off, and those on board sen
up a cheer that made the weIkin ring a
gain, which was replied by those en- boarC
the steamer with increased effect if posi-
ble.'

amazement, that the magistrates could not
entertain such complaint. The Swedish

cision, but an old Swede, who was in the
police court at the time, could scarcely con-
tain himself. "Libertish," said he, sis
coot, it is very well; but not too moosh; too
moosh is bad, very bad. Dey have in this

1t has been the practice of the whig ed

left for our euIidite neighbor to give us the
intelligence, that Wolf was not elected gov

of Gov. Wolf during his last three years
administration.

We last week gave heart rending ac-
count of the explosion of the boiler of a
steam boat at Cincinnati, Ohio. Later ac-
counts, which we publish to day, repre-
sent the accident still more severe and APP
palling. Instead Of the loss of 1875 lives, as
first given, it is now stated that there were
not less than 900 or $50 ferished. We
also publish the account of another steam
boat explosion on the Mississippi, by which
from 20 to 90 persons were killed. Both
accidents are stated to have been caused by
carelessness and mismanagement on the
part of the commandants.
Cannot Congress do something TO render
less dangerous this mode of travelling? 1t
certainly has the power, and why shall not
that power be exercised! and not allow ev-
cry ignorant worthless scoundrel, who as
pires to the command of steamboat, to
trihe with the lives of his fellow beings for
the sake Of gain or notoriety.

PRENTISS AND WORD.

The en.rance of these gentlemen from
the State Of Mississippi, into the House 4
Representatives, bringing rs they do, the
recently expressed voice ofIhc people upon
their expulsion, and the causes of il, is a
triumph of moral aud political principle.
Though as Americans we have Roman
form of dccreeng triumph, YET this is one,
in the ewes If the nation, and in the mind
of an immense maj rity Of the people.
There is lesson in this last act to the
Democracy, which they ought not to for
get. When MIR. Preniiss was absent and in
Maine, the Governor Of Mississippi ordered
a special election only for the special ses
sion. Advantage was taken of Mr.. Prem
tiss's absence, and Messrs Claiborne ami
Gholson were elected. These gentlemen
f2ted during the extra session upon imp9r-
Mr.. Clnib5ffe and the Wings acqoiesced.
from the people, by h0yo.wgon many votes
light, that he was friend of Nai2!se
Blnk. When the present Congress met
and the close state of parties W - known
1t was deemed more important than ever I,
the Van Buren, men TO secure the p1pulal
branch Of the government. Previous voting
had shown them, that the two members from
Mississippi, on a great many occasions
would carry with them mainrity of the
House. Hence Messrs Claiborne and Ghol.
son were called upon 10 hold over; though
in the mean time another election bad been
held in Mississippi, and the people had de
cided for Prenliss and Word. When the
two Wing members came to Washington
they were shut out Of their seats, the two
Van Buren, members insisting upon keeping
them! The Van Buren, m jorty in the
House, not daring to resist the right Of I,
State to he represented by men Of hor own
choice, were guilty Of the. Inconsistent acl
of DISTINGUISHING Mississippi, and sending
back the members elect and uon-elcct, upon
the people. Mr.. Ghoson like sensl5le
man, became sick, and did not run. Mr.
Chihmne, like silly man, did run, bnJ
not to Congress-but 10 Texls!--afler he
pretty well ascertained his coming defeat.
Now Messrs. Preniiss and Word, twice
elected, take their seats, AMI hy mai jrity,
which even Mr.. Speaker Polk, cannol pote
out OF the House again We Illus as Wings,
have the honor Of making the State OF Mis-
sissipPi, a Wing State, and seeing her ably
represented, while at the same lime, we
have the satisfaction Of seeing the people
put a veto upon a violent act of a onr
tSpeaker) majority parry in the House.
Taking all in all, it is the greatest Wing
triumph we have recorded yet.
