Of the Passengc and Death OF the Cap
tain.
The fast sailing and fine ship Eutaw, Captain
Rocket arrived last night frem Liverpool, whence
she sailed January 18th but, unfortunately, like the
Tarointa, she did net bring any newspapers. She
confirms all that the Captain ef the Tarolinta said
about the repairing and ref;ting of the steamship
Catalonia, and that she was ready for sea en- the
25:h Of January, and was advertised TO leave that
day. The passengers also say that it was the cur
ren report in Liverpool, that Lord Ashburton would
leave England in the Caledonia. Cotton had de-
ciined, and was expected to go lower every day.
The E1iaw brings l39 steerage passengers and
we deeply regret to say that three passengers died

oaly two days before, died |; and when his son went
down to board the vessel and enquire for his father,
the mate had the melancholy task Of answering him
the ships side and tell him his father had lust
breathed his last. Captain Rocket was long and
fAvorably known as one OF Our ablcst and oldest
packet captains, having commanded the Burgundy
in the Havre line, for many years.
When Captain Rocket died, there were over 30
OF the passengers lying dangerous sly sick below and
those on deck looked more like dying than living
persons. The disease that has attacked them ap-
some OF them died in few minutes after they wer,
taken = they dropped down on the deck and died di
rectly, with scarcely any premontory symptoms.

that worthy class Of men, the New York pilots, is

now more than able to do all the plotting require

gress do what is RICH. in this matter, they sho uld
reEeal the odious pilot law without delay.
