this occasion; and he hoped they would
follow it up by voting in favor of the ap-
poiniment of select committee.
Mr.. ID. said this not because he had
any personal objection to The committee
on commerce, but because the question
involved great and importan, interests, of
nature in some respects local, although
they were in other respects general and
universal; and he considered it due 10
those interests and right in itself that such
a question should be referred TO men pos
sessed with the requisite local infurma-
ton, and men whose general attention
to public duty might possibly be little
qulckened by a sense Of interest, and who
would thus be urged to make an early.
fair and fail report. For these reasons
he was in favor of a select committee,
composed Of gentlemen whose relative
location might be such as to secure the
object he had just stated. When they
got full and clear report, and it was sub
mitted to the house, all he asked, all any
western man asked, was, that the facts
being laid down, they might have fair
field.

alum Us. Firc.-We commend the following to
the attention ofparents just now when we scarce
ly open paper but a melancholy statement of "a
child burnt" attracts our observation
The danger ami difficulty can be very easily
avoided 10y the use of alum. When clothing are
washed they should he rinsid out of alum wator-
the solution should be tolerabIy strong. II the
clothing which has been newly washed should re-
quire starch the alum may be put in the starch
water.--Aum should be used on all occasions; it
renders the clothing fire proof. Alclothing about
a house steamboat made of cotton should be
impregnaled with alum. For instance, bed and
window curtains, &c, such articles generally ha-
wing much ringing about them. This hint. il
attended to, will prove perfect safety to clothing
from fire.

ever he had doubted the kind and friendly

them, sufficient evidence had now been
given forever to remove the doubt. lie
had regretted to hear the gentleman from
Indiana (Mr. Kennedy calling so loudly
on the west to rally against the rest OF the
Union. The gentleman had thrown into
his tone and manner an air of defiance
against all the residue of the country.
He admitted, doubtless, that western men
on western questions should move in sol
id phalanx: but he denied that their int
eresis and those of the other states were
antagonistIcal. He denied that the south
and the nor,h had an interest IN opposing
their Improvements in the west. The
commerce on the great western waters
identified itself with the whole Union,
| and every par, of it; and every man was
supporting his own interests and that of
his own constituents when he voted for
the water courses of the great west.-Mr.
d. rejoiced to hear the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. Winthrop declare
that the whole north were friendly TO
western improvement, and that they
claimed il as a proof oGpatriotism as much
as magnanimity to vote i'll favor of it.

interests of the west and the south. When

4 Terrible Calamity.

On Wednesday, about midnight, the
steamer Shepherdess, from Cincinnati,
struck snag in Cahokia bend, near three
miles below st. Louis, and sunk immcdi,
ateIy. The boat listed suddenly, precip-
itatiug many Of the passengers who had
reached the huricanc-deck, into the river.
The boilers then rolled over the laFboard
side, which caused the boat TO right sud-
denly, separating the hull from the cabin,
which noated six or seven miles down
the river. The weather was intensely
cold, and a large number of the passen-
gers-estmateda AT 40 or GO, were down
ed or frozen To death. Abou; $50 have
been saved. The boat was purchased at
auction in Cincinnati, short time ago
by Capt. Howell, for S3,000.--lt is not
known here whether she was insured or
not. This was the first trip the steamer
had made since twas purchased by Capt.
III. He was drowned. The boat and
cargo will prove tola! loss. Some of
the trunks and other effects of passengers
have been saved, and left a. the store OF
II. n. Davis e. Co.
The following is the lis, Of articles
shipped ON the Shepherdess, as far rs
has been ascertained so bbls. whisky,

The books of the steamer have not yet
been recovered, aud consequently it is
impossible to ascertain with any degree
of accuracy, the names Of all the passen-
gers, or the amount Of cargo on board.
One gentleman lost $4,000 in money and
another thirty negroes. A gentleman
from Nashville with his child, was saved;
his wife was precipitated into the river
and was drowned. Many of the passen-
gers who were saved, were severely froz-
