 This morning, al half.past o'clock, about mid way between Grand Gulf and Rodney, (which are about twenty miles apart, the steamer Pathfinder, Capt. Moses, from Yazoo, with full load oi cotton, 1iSl bales, was discovered to he on fire. As we are informed by apar' of he crew, but few minutes s'nce arrived here, immediately ensued a scene of cUnus ion and dismay which may be much more ca si Iv imagined than described. Soon there was run ming to and fro, and then screa"rs and cries really terrifying The pilot was forced to leave the wheel by the smoke, which nearly suifocated him. al- ter he had steered the bow of the bout for the shore The engineer also forced to leave his post, be- could be made, and when the ilane ragged ierces the bow ot the boat was pointed up stream. Several 1i the crew commenced throwing cotton bales overheard, and many saved themselves upon the bales, and others blanks, chairs.

THE HEMP TRADE.-The following paragraph from the weekly review of the Louisville market, in the Journal of the 25th ultmo may be interesting to many of our readers:
 sowing to the very unfavorabe weather for rot ting and breaking, but little of this article is yet brought to market, and consequently the manuactur- CTS are now offering $55 per ton for immediate sup- plies. The very low price of hemp and of bagging and rope subject worthy of the serious consider- aion of hemp growers, bagging and rope manuiac- and cotton-pan'ers. The prices now paid will not justify the hemp-grower and manufacturer con- tiuung their business, and the consequence is that very many growers have already resolved to quit hemp, and turn their attention 10 producing hogs, corn and cattle, all Of which will pay them much bet ter, and the time can be prod dnced by much weaker hands; and even at the runously low price of hamp, bagging and rope are so low that a very sm, profit, if any. be made by the manufac- lurer''

Miss WEBsTER.-The Louisville Journal con- tans what appears to be full summary of the testi- inony taken npon the trial of Miss Della Webster, for negro stealing, Lexington, Ky. Difficult as it is to to harsh conclusion in in which a delicate and educated female concerned. and as much we had hoped to this young woman ex- onerate herself from the Dorst part of the charges against her, it is impossible to pursue the evidence in the without coming at once to the conclusion that the jury could have found other verdict than that of guilty. If the witnesses truly, there is nothing before us to raise suspicion that they did not, Miss Webster not only undoubtedly guilty of the crime charged in the indictment, but of the grosaest improprietIes of different character. It appears by the testimony that she joined Fairbanks in stealing and carrying of tbe slaves, by previous concert-that she went off with him in carr Iage hIred for that purpose-ihat she spent long time with him night and day, and portion of it in so equivocal position to lead the landlord ofa house where they stopped 10 suppose hatthey were couple of runaway lovers, which they neither denied nor ad mtted upon being rallied to that effect. No evidence of any consequence was adduced by the prisoner 's counsel, and the jury, after hearing able arguments on both sides. retired at night, and next morning brought in verdict of guilty. Miss w. had moved to be separated from Fairbanks the trial. and the motion granted by the court; so that Fairbanks will be tried at the next term; his counsel having moved for a continuance the ground that he had material witnesses absent in this city. There can he very Ittle doubt the result of that trial.TN Y. Courier and Enquirer.
