STEAMBOAT ACcIpKNr.-The st. Louis Republi-
can, OF the 18th inst, says: " The steamboat lone
struck snsg whilst landing al a woodward, about
four miles below BoonviIe. A part of her cargo
was damaged, and will be turned over for the benr-
n OF the underwriters. BY the exertions OF her
officers, the leak was, however, STOPPED, and she
was enabled 10 proceed"
THE Theft AT GAuDALouPE-Some Of the Off
GERS and crew OF the brig Pilgrim have arrived home
and brought further details respecting the alleged
robbery OF a large amount OF gold at the time Of
the earthquake, by the captain OF the above named
vessel. We have heard some of these accounts,
but Oh not had them sufficiently distinct in detail TO
warrant publication at ths time. We have reason
10 believe, however, that Capt CoZZ-ns Is quite as
innocent as some others, (not connected with his
vessel,) who happened TO escape from pun snment

and received good deal OF eclat for variety OF
statements and exhibitions in New York and Bos

SMUGGLING PROM TExAs.-We often hear COM
plants that articles are smuagled to Texas; but re-
Gently we have been informed that complaints have
been made the other side of the Sabine, that art-
cles have been smugsled from Texas 10 the United
States II is SAID, that large quantities of cotton
raised IN the eastern counties of Texas, have been
smugsled into the nited States, as the produce of
Arkansas aud LOUISIANA, TO avoid the duty of three
per cent levied IN the United States. This duty and
the charges for Inspection, NC. felt as great
hardshlps by the eastern planters. A planter resi-
ding near Nacogdoches, says that his cotton sent TO
New Orleans by way Of the Red River Melted him
only nine dollars bale; but if it could have been
smugsed IN as Louisiana cotton, II would have net
ted about $40 bale. The temptation for smuggling
therefore very great AS the United States Off
Gers are making siren exertions TO prevent this
Illicit trade, IT will probably be soon checked and
The eastern planters will be compelled to re sort TO
one OF three alternatives either TO discontinue the
culture of cotton, to export their cotton through the
ports of Texas or emgrate back TO the United
States, and thus place themselves an equal foot
Ing with the planters In that country.-Eous0n Te-

MURDER ON BOARD STEAMBoAT.-The Wheel

OF the death of Mr. h. w. Trmble, of that city,
