fed Over one hun dred and twenty of our fellow
beings have been murdered by the conduct of the
managers of that boat, and they mus, be made TO
suffer, therefore. As tn be expected, the
Courier " has been attempting to bolster
up the Company, with a long Review" in favor
OF their course of proceeding; which review
is tissue of falsehoods from be ginning end. The
simple facts of the ed down to a very
small compass there were 10 people on board and
the three boats would only hold 40 at the most so
that one half must have persisted any way the boat
murderously loaded down with cotton close to
the red hot smoke pipe the blower blew down the
brick wall and blew the flames and burning embers
all about the boat the boat fire repeatedly
and yet no extra precauion taken to protect hui
man life ; the cotton was on fire before she started
the last rip and she had tiller ropes round the
wheel, which burnt off, instead of chains. With all
these glaring facts staring in the face, we repeat
that all now living connected with the manage
ment of that boat ought to be indicted for murder

The FRIENDS Yearly Meeting com
menced in this iovn, (not Portsmouth,
as mentioned in our last paper on Sat-
urday last, and has been continued
with the exception of Sunday. from
day to day until to-day, for the trans
action of the business which common
ly comes before them at this meeting.
A public meeting we understand will
be held this morning, commencing at
half past 10 o'clock. The meeting will
probably break up tomorrow or next
day and separate for the space Of anoth-
er year. During the past week our
streets have presented quite an animat-
ing appearance-the number of Friends
in attendance from abroad, has been
quite as large, we believe, as on other
similar occasions, and the number OF
visitors from other denominations, has
also been equal to any previous year
that wo recollcct of. The weather on
Yearly Meeting Sunday was unusual
ly fine, the thermometer not rising
above 70'at any hour Of the day, and
those who came among us no doubt were
somewhat improved by our hcalthiul at
mosphere, as well as pleased with their
excursion.
Next week, VIC shall have another
festive week-the Legislature will be
in session, and the semi-centennial eel
ebration Of the adoption of the Consti-
tuition of the u. S. takes place. A
vast number, beside the military, will
no doubt, if the weather should be
pleasant, pay us a visit on that day.
Every body, we believe is expected to
attend, and from all we learn, we should
incline to the opinion that pretty much
every body calcu late to come. But
more the merrier," say We.
The following are among the mos,
prominent ministers of the Friends who
have attended the present meeting: -
Joseph John Gurney, from England ;
John p. Balderston, from Baltimore
Richard Mott and Samuel Parsons,
from New York; John Warren, John

Our city has never perhaps enjoyed
better health in August than during the
present season. We have not heard n
single case Of yellow fever reported in
private practice, and only two or three
in the Charity Hospital-,and even their
existence is doubted by many physicians.
The propects of continuance of the
same exemption from disease are GER
tainly hattering. Our streets and premi-
ses are abundantly watcred and cleansed d
every few days by heavy showers. The
banks of the rver and the levee, where
il is exposed by the subsidence Of the
current, are also washed and kept clean
by the rain. No doubt the city Is much
indebted to long spell Of rainy weather.

Among the interesting incidents at

A deep sensation was produced by
Mr.. Green, who introduced to the con-
veniion, while referring to the services
Of Gen. Harrison, living witness, the
venerable DR.. Philips, OF LawrcnceyilIe
in Mercer county, who was a lieutenant
in the same regiment with linn under
Wayne. The appearance OF the-vener-
able witness was hailed with shouts OF
applause. He testified in the trembling
voice of age that Harrison was then the
best officer in The regiment, und when
the discerning eye Of the general-in-
chief fixed on him for more responsi-
BILE station, his removal was the cause OF
universal regret. This testimony by
one of the most respectable Of our own
citizens, produced spontaneous and pro-
Tacted applause.
