the Frigate Tariff bound down, and sunk
in deep water. The Richie was much
damaged, having got foul of the Schoon-
er Globe, in beating through Texas
Straits and it is thought by many that
the accident would not have taken place
had not the Glube tackled too soon. In
addition to her freight, the r. had some
80 passengers for the Baltimore Locofoco
Convention, but was obliged TO throw
them overheard, in the encounter, on ac-

New Hampshire Institution. The Cap

but they claimed such heavy salvage,
that it vas thought best to let her 90 to
pieces rather than pay it.
