SIR: We have just noticed in the New
York Courier aud Enquirer of Saturday,
an article they have copied from your pa
per, in relation to the loss Of the ship Queen
Adelaide, which article contains some deep
ly Injurious reflections upon the captain
and owners Of that ship.
The chronometer alluded 10 WIS hired in
the customary manner of MIR. w. ii. u.
Riggs, of yoGr city, said to be one oi your
most respectable dealers in time pieces.
1t was recommended to CAPT. B1rstew IN
the most favorable and unqualified terms.
Mr.. Riggs however remarked that the
chronometer had not been at sea for about
two wears.
Can't. Barstow' : knowledge OF lnnars Is
next called IN question; touching this point
we are authorised tn stnte that he has a
theoretical knowledge of iunars, but, like
nineteen captains ont oil twenty, does not
practice them in sailing from the Atlantic
ports either to ports in the Gulf OF Mexico
or in Europe.
Ii is next mentioned that the captain was
below during the second mates wa'ch. =
He had it is true been below Il very short
time when the ship struck, but as 1t WAS Il
fine star light night, and the ship supposed
to be ninety miles from any dangerous
point. such a circumstance should mol draw
upon him The impura,ion Of being ''careless
Of the property committed TO his care"
Capt. Samuel Glidden, one ofllie owners,
took charge merely to snperlnt end the lad
ing Of the ship, and it was well understood
that he did not contemplate performing the
voyage himself He had requested us, at
an early stage Of the vessels loading, tp
engage master, and at our rccommen-
dation he engaged Capt. Bar>tow, giving
bin as high wages and perqnislies us are
allowed to our most experienced packet
captains. This alnson to pay, is in re
ply 10 the nsinuaion that the owners eX-
ercised undue ''etonomy.'
Captain Barstow, now about twenty-five
years old, has sailed for us as an officer of
ship about six years--is one of the most
active and intelligent young men sailing
out of New York. At the time OF taking
charge of the Queen Adelaide he had been
one voyage as maslEr; that voyage was made
in one Of the best New York ships, and
was performed to the entire satisfaction OF
his employers
Col. John Glidden, Of New Castle,
Maine, was the principal owner of the
Queen Adelaide a, the time. she was wreck
ed. The concern is Of The highest respect
ability.
We submit this simple statement of facts,
without farther comment and hope you will
give it place in your paper.
Yours respectfully.
G. BARSTOW s. POPE, Of N. York.
The @. A. was insured for only Sl4 900,
and nothing on freight. Peyious insurance

MARYLAND,

The news from Maryland, is decidedly
unfavorable. We were aware that no stone
would be left unturned by the loco iocoS'
in the remaining States to secure a gam
sufficient, If possible, to counteract the
gains made by the Wings in previous elec-
tions, and thus be enabled to keep oil Con-

tlons and abuses al head quarters, until al
ter another presidential canvass, at all
events But we did not believe, although
many of our friends have feared 1t, Chose
no were aware of the arts and lnirIgnes
of the locos to secure this end) that the
staunch republicans of Maryland, would
permit themselves 10 slutnber on, at mo-
ment so critical, when all their energies
were necessary in behalf Of the "nation' S
cause" But it is so--and the Notifying
fact must be recorded, that Federalism trl-

Do we not then deserve as good Boat as
any other persons? This community will
not be satisfied till first rate sea Boat,
equal if not Superior to the Portland, is
built opIy between BATH and BOSTON
three times week, and TO be connected
with good river boat to Augusta. We
hope another year may witness this want
consummated. Augusta Banner.
We cheerfuIIy add our assent to the cor
recness OF the above paragraph. The fact
is sooner or later things must settle down to
the system proposed by friend Drew In
fact, the only.rcason why the project has
not succeeded before this, is tic spirit Of
envy or something else fostered by few
up-riyer "cxclusive" geniuses. Now the
people Of Bath don't care fig, above what
is proper and right, but the business COM
munity this way, the support Of this kind
ortravel-calls loudly FOR this Improvement.
We prophecy-whoeger starts first
rate boat, superior to the Portland 10 leave
this place, and puts an elegant and safe
boat on the river to 90 up as far as Angus
Ia, and accommodate the public, will take
the custom, and be handsomely supported.
We are led to make these remarks, III con-
sequence of the prevailing dissatisfaction
with the present arrangements. The pub
lie are loudly calling for larger boat, and
they have a right to expect it.
