HORRIBLE DEATH FRoM IsTEmr
Another has been added to the catalogue Of
Of the victims OF rum. in the person of John
HOWE, a native of Scotland, and lately from
Toronto, where he had a wife residing. The
circumstances Of his death are thus detailed
He was employed by Mr. u. Walsh, boat
ing wood on Genesee Valley Canal to this
city. On Monday evening this man and an.
other were together in q boat, near Wash.
ington street bridge, and from there they
proceeded to a grocery where they purchases
a quart Of whiskey, and returned to the boat.
John partook eagerly of the liquor, and when
that was exhausted. went back for more !;
the other thinking be had got enough, re-
tired. John obtained more liquor and return
ed to the boat, unknown 10 bis companion.
About half past II o'clock the fire mertion-
ed in our paper Of yesterday, occurred, and
John was burnt TO death; the other man made
good his escape; and not knowing that bis
companion had returned, made no effort to
save him. His lower extremities were CON-
pletely burned TO a crisp. and IL is supposed
that he was unconscious Of the cause of bis IN
timely end. The boat had taken fire early in
the evening, and was supposed TO have been
extinguisbed. but which undoubtedly was
only smothered, and continued burning nm
til the time it broke Out. This should serve
as a melancholy admonition against The use
o Intoxicating spirifs-R0chesser Adr. 10.

COMMUNICATE J

1t appears that the Gazette and the Advo-
cate, are Of opinion that the Trustees Of the
Catholic Church have acted quite u~njustly
with Mr.. Brogard the Pastor; when acquain-
ted with the particulars OF the dissidence, they
viii perhaps change their mind. Il Is we'll
known that the majority Of the Catholic Com
gregation is formed Of Creoles whose Ian
guagc Is the French, and that majority wishes
that the preaching, be made one Sunday in
French. and one Sunday In English, which
Mr.. Brogard refuses 10 do, without alledging
the least plausible reason A respectable
Deputation was sent 10 Mr. Bregard and ex.
pressed t. him the justice Of the cause, but
am sorry 10 say that he received the Depata.
ton with very little regard and quite n~npolite.
".
The Trustees unwilling TO enter into any
controversy with Mr.. Brogard, stopped his
salaries, and We are of opinion that they &C.
led very Justly.

IMPORTANT

From the New York Erening Post, we
derive the following report, made by per-
sons of great Intelligence and competence
in such matters concerning an invention of
Mr.. Ethan Campbell, of New York, which
promises to effect an important change in
steam navigation. This invention appears
to us to be one of surprising ingenuity and
efficiency. II provides against the waste
of heat and of power, and makes an explo-
sion impossible. Mr.. Campbell's Self.
Feeding Apparatus was built for the Gov.
eminent, and is soon to be placed on board
of one oftheir steamers:-
Report of the Committee by the Amer.
lean Institute on Mr.. Ethan Camp
bells Self Feeding Apparatus for sup.
plying Steam Boilers with Water.
The committee appointed 10 examine
Mr.. Ethan Campbell's Self. Feeding Appar
atns for supplying all kinds ofSteam Boil.
ers with Water, beg leave to report that
they have carefully examined the same,
and have no hesitation in recommending
it as the most perfect machine which has
yet been invented (as far as they know for
the above purpose. $50
The machine, like many others, although
simple in its operation, and easily under
stood from inspection, is difficult TO des-
cribe, without the aid of drawings; the
committee therefore will not attempt a
minute description.
Il appears very efectually to accom-
pIish the object for which it is designed,
and when put into operation requires but
little if any attention from the engineer to
keep the water in the boiler constantly up
to the sa me level. This is a matter of FIN.
portance in all cases, mora especially for
boilers in steamboats,. as it probably will
entirely prevent and certainly greatly les
sen the chances for explosion, and conse-
quentIy the loss of life.

NEW ORLEANS MARKETS.
WEpNEspAy MoRNINe, Dec 9th, 1s43

WEDNESDAY, MoRsINe, Dec 9Th, 1s43.
A very fair business has been transacted
in this market since our review Of Satur.
day last, more especially in one or two ar.
ticles to which we make reference below.
The Cotton Market has been very much
excited, and notwithstanding the %unfaora.
BILE accounts from Europe, prices have
largely advanced. But on the other hand
many begin to believe that the estimates
Of the crop have been exaggerated, and
assuming the probable receipts ut this port
rs a criterion for other places, do not i'm.
aginc that The total supply will exceed
100000 bales. 1t is loo early in the
season 10 pass any positive opinion on the
CORRECTNESS Of those figures, but should the
yield really not turn ont larger, we do not
hesitate TO say that prices ought 10 i'm.
prove And it is under this influence that
Factors are not offering their Cotton nj
present, having received Instructions from
their constituents 10 bold on.
The weather has been fine and favora-
Bile for outdoor business. The river is H.
sing slowly.
CoTroN-In our report Of Saturday
morning last, we stated that the Cotton
market had closed with great frmness on
the evening previous. and that notwiih-
standing the unfavorable accounts, from
England, prices had an upward tendsn-
cy.
The operations Of Saturday fully con-
ffmed this impression, as buyers entered
the market with great spirit, and took
about 10000 bales, at an advance Of LA a
3Isc. per ID. The business was 10 some
extent Of n speculative character, which
may account for This sudden and rapid i'm.
provement.
On Monday there was less Cotton offer
ing, although The demand continued equal
" good, but the transactions fell off in ex.
tent, and did not exceed 400 bales, at
prices fully as high as were paid on Satur.
day. Yesterday f,ctors offered Lore spar.
ingly, and there was likewise less DISPOSE
lion TO purchase, which will account for
the diminished business, the sales not
amounting to more than 1900 bales, ma.
king the total ira nsactions ofthe past three
days, 5000 bales. Besides what was
done on speculation, the business has been
chiefly for Northern account, most Of the
European buyers being unable to operate
at the present advanced rates. There has
been more excitement in the Cotton mar.
ket since Friday, than we have noticed
for some time past. VIZ have altered our
quotations to conform with the actual pri-
ces lad.

g. w. Kendall has given a severe over
hauling % Mi. Marryatt and clearly convicts
him OF plagiarism In his late work. .sTha
Narrative and Adventures ofMonsisur violes.'
Mr. Kendall says; ~ 8B3 ~ 3t
at was while travelling between Montery
on the Pacific coast, and Santa Re. that Violet
came upon a community of prairie dogs, an
account of which, 10 given at the close of the
eleventh chapter of tho I" Narrative sf5a ha
snow, | am inclined 10 dispute that there
Is settlement Of these strange animals be.
tween Monsery and Santa Fa--far from i.
| only intend to point out the truely wonder
fnI coincidence, that precisely such a settle.
ment as the Monsieur visited, I myself saw.
some hundreds Of miles east Of his dog COM
monwealth, and what 10 more, that / describ.
cd II. in precisely the same language 40 Cap
tain Warryatt has put into the mouth OF the
young ~royalist, 10 tho Naw Orleans picay..
une of July 1642. Unfortunately for Cap
tain Maryatt's last work, 1t also happens that
my account was copied into tho New York
Courier & Enquirer Of the 28th Of July, 49,
42--by comparing them, you will be struck
with the remarkable coincidence that the
same words, verbatim, were used some fifteen
months after by the great English writer.
This commonwealth Of prairie dogs | claim
as mlne-mine BY right Of previous discovery
and first possession." ar q 49,
Again Mr.. Kendall adds;-
F." In q series Of hastily thrown off skeiche,,
published 10 the Picayune during the sum.
mer Of f642, | gave q narrative u the march of
Santa-Fe expedition through western Texas.
To my great surprise, | find that Marryatt
conducts Monsieur Violet over the same
road--he sees the same sights, mentions; the
same incidents, uses the same language
that | had previously recorded. He eneoun-
terd the same dangers, endured the same pri-
~vations. chased the same bufsloes that We
did: and, what 10 even more remarkable, the
young Frenchman travelled with two OF my
particular friends, one IL whom he names
Fitzgerald. This latter circumstance / new.
er could have believed, had I not seen in this
well authenticated r. narrative and even
now entertain serious misgiviDgs as to its
truth, IN an much AZ I cannot believe that
any Of my friends ever had the hsrdibood 10
travel the same road twice. I certainly was
with them the first time they journeyed tow.
ard Santa-Fe; / know that they then saw en-
ough and suffered enough to make them ex-
tremely weary Of travelling the road the Sc
cond time, even though the daring Mons.
Violet was ready TO accompany them.
But to be serious. In this q Narrative, I"
either Mons. Violet or Capt. Marryats has
stolen, librally and bodily stolen, portions of
my sketches as published in 1912, taking.
now and then, a fIlsehood Of unparalleled and
most stnpendous atrccity to some ofthe incl
dents. 3 *@tAtasS H
