LAUNCH OF THE lRoS BOAT The pre-
sent freshet aifording water enough, some
what Unexpectedly, the propretors of the
Iron Steam Boat determined yesterday
morning to launch her at five o'clock in the
afternoon.
AS the hour approached, notwithstanding
the short notice given, thousands were as
sembled to witness the launch. About five
minutes before five, every thing being in
readiness, the word was gi,en to "cut
away" aud the boat started IN beautiful
style, gliding into the water without a jar
or surge. The first rush was to zee how
much water she would draw; in an instant
ii score Of joking banters passed touching
her draugLt.
Soma stood for fourteen inches, some
thirteen; --eeyen, ten, were stverally
cried out, and when she settled all were as
tonshed. Nine inches astern. Nine and
a half forward, proves to be her draught.
The instance is without parallel, timber
boat OF her capacity, similarly constructed,
would draw twenty-one inches, while the
Iron Steamboat draws but nine and half.
To guard agans, sinking, the hull of the
boat has been divided into three compart-
ments lengthwise by two staunch, water
tight bulkheads of IRON Either of these
divisions filing with water would not suf-
flee to sink the boat.
Her length in deck Is 100 feet, length Of
keel l4O feet, breadth of beam sj feet 4
inches, depth of hold 5 feet.-Phtsburg

A CurE TRIcK.-An expcdient was re-
snrted to few nights since, to obtain u
berth on board of one ofour coasting pack
cts which deserves record. Night came
on, and it was found that the number of
uerths, multiplied by two, was about equal
to the whole number of passengers. Of
course the deck and cabin caught the hind
most that did not turn in soon after the
-nlght-fall. About midnight, those on deck
thought it time for "a tide IN the affairs of
men, which taken at its flood should lead
them on to more comfortable quarters.
One of the number ran hastily to the gang
way and roared out Justify" a man over
board" This is like cry Of fire on land,
and the deck was soon covered with half
nuked men prompt to The rescue. Thclr
anxiety was dispelled just in season to learn
that every mans berth was snugly packed
with a late deck passenger. The raciness
of The joke .qaeied all indlgnation.--BHre

sTANZAS.
They think that am happy now,
For in the festive throng,
My laugh Is DER the widest heard,
And mine the gayest song.
They think, because my face Is drest
In smiles that look like joy,
That happiness reigns in my breast,
Unmixed with grief's alloy.
But thou once lov'd one, thou may'st guess
Ifjoy can be the share
Ofhim who threads that glittering hall,
The most heart broken there.
That laugh they deem so full ofjoy,
Which rings so lightly round,
Comes from torn and anguishd breast,
A laugh ulone In sound.
That song so gnily gushing forth,
Comes from bleeding heart,
Which, tho Oppressed, Is far too proud
Its anguish to impart. ar.. ..
And thus tits on, the widest laugh
To sorrow may belong, tt.a
And grief may hide Its face beneath

The gale from the west, experienced here
during last night and this morning, has fill
ed our harbor with vessels. Many Of them
had left the day previous for the upper lakes
with heavy cargoes, but were compelled to
return in consequence of the gale.
There were also many vessels on their
downward trip that were overtaken and dri-
ven IN. Some of them have suffered slight
injuries. The Schooner Marshal Ney, was
suddenly struck, and lost a part of ker main
mast, all her standing rigging, main-sai &c.
The Platina is minus her larboard quarter
railing; and The Revenue Cutter struck on
the pier in making the harbor, and leaks
quite fast. The whole of these vessels en-
tered in the night, which is the probable
reason why they were not more successful
in weathering the storm. ,st e

RAuRoAD ACCIDENT. An unfortunate
accident occurred yesterday morning to the
train of cars from Philadelphia. AS thas
train, consisting of five passenger cars and
the refreshment car, approached the depot
at South Amboy, the engine was as usuaB
detached fromit, and the train left to proceed
by Its own impetus to the dock. Here it has
hitherto been stopped at a proper time by
means otubrake. But in this instance, wlrem
the man stationed at the brake endeavored to-
employ it in the ordinary way, it unfoltu-
nately broke, and beforehe could reach an
other brake, the whole train came in con-
tact with car containing two baggage
crates, which it drove against the crane Of
the dock, shattered il to pieces, and the
posts placed there by way Of precaution.
The steamboat Independence was fortu--
nately lying at the dock, and, stopped tne

er, carried awQy one Of her wheel houses
but otherwise did her no material damage
