.IonN TYLER's OFFICE HoIDERs.-The True
Democrat of Burlington, VIA Loco Foco paper
of the truest stamp-takes Col. Hyde, the old
Van Buren,, and now Tyler, Collector of the Gus
tom House at that port, severely to task for the
manner in which he discharges his duties. 1t
states that the Hon. w. P. Briggs, who was ap-
pointed By Gen. Harrison, finding that the Inspec
tors Office at ST.. Adams was utterly useless,
abolished it entirely-saving thus in two years
/ $3.50 10 the people. This act met the unanimous
appreciation of both parties. The Democrat says
that some time last May Col. Hyde re-estnj-
4 lished this Office and the same person, who has
already drawn $500 from the people for doing
absolutely nothing, aoas re-appointed, with
salary of $3.50 per annum!
THE STEAMSHIP CoLuMBIh.-Wc learn from
sl;ps from the Offices of the Boston Times and
Mail that there is no longer hope that the Column
bia will be saved, but that she has probably before
this gone entirely to pieces. The St Johns
Morning News of "wednesday contains additional
particulars concerning the vessel. The ladies
were taken ashore by boat from Seal Island
Light, and the rest of the passengers were sue
cessu in saving all the valuable furniture on
board. The Columbia had driven on the rock
five feet above high water mark, broke her back
on Wednesday, and at the latest advlces was
swinging by her bows-ceram TO he dashed IN
pieces by the ordinary commotion of the waves
and winds. The passengers held a meeting, at
which Hon. Abbot Lawrence presided, and adop-
ted resolutions acqutting Captain Shannon OF all
blame, and thanking the officers, stewards and
crew for their efforts, and proposing to raise
sum Of money to compensate them and the m
habitants of the Island for their generous hospi-
talty. The report that the Columbia was seen
entering the port Of Halifax was of course I'M
founded.
SAD RAILROAD AccIDENT.-A correspondent OF
the L. S. Gazette narrates sad accident which
occurred on the lehigh and Susquehannah Rail
road near Wilkcsbarrc on Saturday last. MI
Theodore Titus, with his wife and son, attempted
to descend the tunnel plane in a common truck
by the aid of brake alone, although they had
been warned to use shoes also. They soon lost
all command of the car, and on reaching the bot
tom of the plane were thrown upon the ground
with great violence. Mrs. Titus was thrown 4O
or 50 feet, and, her head striking on rock, was
instantly killed; and both Mr.. Titus and his son
were 90 severely wounded that their recovery IS
not expected.

LATE FROM ST. MARTINs.-By the bark lecla,
from ST. Martins 2sth ultimo, we have received
intelligence from that place. Produce is very
scarce, especially molasSes which is the staple
produce of that Island.
The Earthquake which was felt al st. Thomas
was also felt at st. Martins, and the shock was
much more severe, but it did not cause much al
arm as they have become accustomed 10 it.
Every thing has been very peaccable lately among
the slaves.
The health of the Island was very good There
was hardly any business dong, and very hard
times No American vessels left.
