DcplCrablC Accident and Loss of Life.

1t is our duty TO announce to our read
ers calamity unprecedented in extent in
British North America, which occurred on
our waters on Saturday lst. The steam
er Shamrock left the canal basin at Mon
treal on Friday evening, and the locks
at Lachine early on Saturday morning
having in tow three barges, two empty
and one partiaIly'laden. The Shamrock
carried no cargo besides the luggage OF
passengers, whose number, we under
stand, amounted To 100 souls.
About II o'clock, when tho steamer
had proceeded only about five miles from
Lachine, her boiler exploded scattering
death and destruction. So sudden were
the effects that in less than five minutes
siyty-two human beings were in eternity.
The passengers were English, IrIsh
and Scotch immigrants, but principally
Eng cIish, and were distributed at the
time ofthe accident nearly as follows
The English, in number about sixty
five, exclusively occupied the bow ol
the weasel, white the Irish aud Scotch
occupied the stern; in tho cabin were
three English women and two men ; be-
tween decks, in the fore part of the YES.
sci, were number Of loiierers.
The Shamrock was high pressure
boat.
The Montreal Courier gives list
showing the number and names Of the
killed or missing amounting to 80.

Tomorrow, as has already been an
nounccd by Proclamation, &C., will be
observed by The People Of this State,
as Day Of Public Thanksgiving and
Praise to Almighty God, for their recent
most signal deliverunce from the "hor-
rors of civil war, anarchy and death. "
We trust that all the people Of Rhode
Island will feel deeply sensible that
there is abundant cause for gratitude to
the Giver of all Good for the providen-
tial manner in which we have been
spared in our late unhappy difficulties,
from the awful results Of civil war,
which seemed almost inevitable to the
wisest and most discerning among US.
There never was, it must be acknowl-
edged, within the memory of our oldest
inhabitants, greater cause for thankful
ness and gratitude for any merciful in
tcrposition of Divine Providence. Ev-
cry one, therefore, Of whatsoever de-
nomination of Christian he may be, that
feels and believes that there is a SU-
PREME BEING, who rules ard directs
the destinies of man, should, laying
aside all former animosties and differ
enccs, cordially unite in the solemn,
heartfelt observance Of this DAY.

THE ExAMINATIoN OF THE PRISONERS

The French Steam Frigate GoMER,
arrived at New York last week, 10 days
from Cherbourg, France, and 10 days
from Fayal. She comes to this country,
with the commissioners who arc to visit
the several ports at which il is proposed
that the vessels OF the French steam
packet lines shall touch. We have not
understood whether the commissioners
have decided to visit this port or not,
but cannot suppose they would consider
it in accordance with the strict fulfil
ment of their duty to pass US by un-
noticed.
The Courier des Etats Unis of Sat-
urday, contains long article descriptive
Of this vessel, from which we extract the
following:
The Conner is a war vessel--the lar
gest in the world, the Courier says
and is not intended for the line of steam
packets between France and the Gulf
Of Mexico. Her capacity is about two
thousand three hundred tons, her di.
mensions being nearly the same rs those
of the lost President. Her engine is of
four hundred aud sixty horse power,

MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES.

The Washington papers contain a
long correspondence between the MeXi-
can Secretary of State, and the Aneri-
can Secretary Of State, relative to our
difficulties with Mexico. The letters Of
the Mexican Secretary NJ de Bocanegra,
are very insoient towards the United
States, and charge this Government
with tolcraling and encouraging the
emigration of American citizens to
Texas, during the struggles Of that
country for independence and subse-
qucntly accuses the United States with
bad faith. Mr.. Webster in a calm and
dignifed tone answers the complaints
in full-meeting them one by one
showing that the United States is not
guilty of the charges preferred, and
that the movement complained of was
voluntary, aud could not have been
prevented by our Government. To the
charge Of bad faith, Mr.. Webster gives
the Mexican Secretary to understand
that such charge is unworthy the no
tice ofths Government, informing him
at the same time that the conduct Of the
Government Of the United States in re-
gard to the war between Mexico and
Texas, having hitherto been strictly
neutral will continue to remain so with
out change or alteration in any respect
or degree. But if the Government of
Mexico, for this, shall see fit to change
the relations at present existing between
the two countries, the responsibility re-
mains with her.
