DREADFUL PicTuRE OF VIcE AND ITS Re
suLrs.-The Baltimore Sun furnishes shock
ing picture OF recent case Of crime aud It's
consequences in that city. A woman Of re-
spectacle connections fell fram her purity some
years since and became an su,cast. She fol.
lowed through the different grades Of vice from
guilt and shame TO iutan,y aud despair from
gilded luxury to squalid poverty. until at length
she was compelled to herd with the most mis-
erable Of the dissoluts blacks in the suburbs
She bad long been discarded by her friends.
but sister hearing Of her destitute state, sent
a benerolsn, gentleman to seek her and to en-
dsavor TO reclaim her TO the path Of virtue. lie
found her in y frame house in Put-street, near
Hartford run, in the midst OF motley assem-
blase Of blacks aud whites. of the most depisv-
ed character, and surrounded by filth and all the
squalidness Of poverty. The ger,lemsn left
her some relief, and on Friday last he sent two
others Of the same Mind disposition TO see her.
When they entered the bouse a scene pressn-
ted itself almost too horrid for description. The
blacks and other inmates Of the house were ri
oting in a bszstly iptoxicatisn, aud 10 one OF
the rooms the body OF the ~ieteh who was once
psre, pisus aud lovely, was found lying on the
floor a blosted corpse, surrounded by filth, and
yet more horrible, the rats had devoured nearly
one siie OF her cheek. The dsmoas who held
their orgies in the howell. yelled their curses at
the gentleman for asking them to remove the
corpse 10 more fitting place. and they were
compelled TO hasten from a scene which almost
chilled the blood with horror. and which moth
ing but an imperative sense Of duty would ever
have compelled them to look upon. Notice
was gives TO the proper authorities, and the
corpse was ialsrfed the same evening.

Steamboat Cotlisior.-A great excitement
prevailed in New York on Saturday week in
consequence Of a collision between the steam
boats Napoleon aud De Witt Ciuioa. The
Napoleon is an Albany boat, which has been
put on against the old company's boats. with
the avowed intention Of affordiug cheap pas
sage TO the public between New York and Al
bany. There has been some rapeorous feelings
between the parties in consequence.
1t appears that the Napolson arrived first
from Albany on Friday nigh, and took the birth
or the Clinton, which boat had to seek another,
further up the river. On Saturday, at 5s'elsek.
the Napoleon started for Albany, with about
four hundred passengers, and just as she got
abreast Of the pier where the Clinton lsy, the
latter shot cut from the wharf, and pumped d.
reetly iuto the side Of the Napoleon. The blow
caused the Napolsou TO e,resn 50 much that
the water run over her deck, and the cesfusieu
fright and excitement Of the passengers was
appalling. Ii is avsued by many who we're
present; ,ha, the Clinton Kept her wheels in
motion, foreing her ahead and pressing the Ma
poleon over. until the Csptsin Of the N. fired
three shots from srotsry pistol, at the pilst OF
the Clinton, all Of which took effect 10 the wood
work close 10 him. The Clinton then backed
OFT. aud both boats proceeded up tho river.
The whole affair will be subjected, as i,
ought. TO n Judicial iuvsstig.tiou,-the Cap
