Notwithstanding the equirocaI denial in the

through Mr.. MoLane in London, there is strong
reason for believing that there is good foundation
for the report.
In an article in Saturdays National Intelligencer
extracted from the New York Sun, We obssrye the
following confirmation of ii.
at is generally reported that the British Gov
eminent has taken up President Folks offer, and
presented it to our Government through our Min

for acceptance. Indeed, there are letters here
from eminent persons in London which leave do

SHENANDOAH ACc1pENT.

The New Orleans papers are filed with the de-
tails of one of those sickening and heart rendins
csamites which often destroy life the Mis-
sssipp River aud so much impair the comfort of
travel on that magnificent river. The following is
from the Pcayune;-
"TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER -
Great loss Of hGe-From the officers OF
the Diamond, arrived yesterday, we learn
that on tho night of the 18th inst. the
steamboat Belle Zane, Capt Brazier, while
on her way from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, TO this
city, struck a snag about II miles below
the mouth Of White River, on the Misss
sippi, and Immediately turned bottom up.
1t was about II o'clock when tho accident
occurred, and the night wos bitter cold. -
Out of some 90 souls on board at the
time, upwards Of so persisted by this ter
-ihle accident, some Of the unfortunate
victims only escaping being drowned to
freeze to death after reaching the shore.
At the time of the disaster Of course the
passengers were all asleep in their berhs,
and SO suddenly did the boat careen and
go over that such as made out to release
themselves were only able TO snatch a
blanket or Counterpart from ,heir beds
they had no time to save, much less put
on their clothing.
MEssRs. BoAE AND CAMPBELL.
The following from the Richmond Enquirer oil
the 30,h ut,, makes the necessary correction rela.
tive to the vote given by them on the Convention
question;
We notice that the Martinsburg "Vir.
GINA Republican" states tina, "Messrs.
Boak and Campbell voted against the re-
solution appointing a committee TO report
upon the expediency Of calling a Conyen.
ton to amend the Constitution of Yrgl-
MIA" and it gives The Enquirer as authori
iy for the statement. These gentlemen
were recorded as voting in the negative
IN our paper, but it was an error OF the
types; they voted in the affirmative.
JupCE OF THE u. S. CouRr. We learn
that John w. Brockenbrough. Esq, O.
Rockbrdge, has received the appointment
Of Judge Of the U. S. Court for the Yves.
tern district Of Virginia, in place Of the
Hon. Isaac S. Penny backer elected to the
u. S. Senate.
! A very excellent appointment, We should say.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

We learn with regret, that WAsHisoros Cross,
of Morgan County, of the late Gassaway
Cross, and young man of exemplary habits and OF
excellent business qualifications, crushed to
death, few days ago, in the Machinery of his
MIL on Capon- River. The accident il is suppos-
ed must have occurred about 10 o'clock n the
morning, as persons passing by about that hour
deserved the operation of the Mill TO stop sudden
ly; but suspicion TO his fate was excited un-
iii late in the evening, when the Mil examin,
ed and his body found, shockingy mangled in the
Machinery OF the Mill. He was about "a years Of

THE LATE WIFE OF GOVERNOR
THOMAS OF MARYLAND.
Widowed wife and married meid
Betrothed, fursaken and betrayed

1t is with the Iiyeliest satisfaction that we have
observed the recent action of one branch of our
State Legislature upon the application of Mrs
Thomas for divorce. There is no doubt, the Sem
ate will in its passage with equal unanimi,y.
From ne Enquirer.
Mr.. BOCOCK from The Committee for
Courts OF Justice presented bill divor.
cling Sarah c. P. Thomas from her hus-
band Francis Thomas, and changing the
name OF said Sarah C. 7. Thomas to Sa-
rah c. 2 M'Dowell.
Mr.. LEE moved that tho rule of the
House be suspended in order that the bill
might be read the first, second and third
times and passed on this day. He desired
that the action OF the House might in the
most emphatic manner assert the high
character OF the applicant.
Mr.. GUSTS said he was generally OPP
posed to any interference on the part Of
the Legislature with the holy relations OF
matrmony, without the most urgent me-
cessity. He would not touch lightly the
relation Of man and wife yet he was ful.
ly satisfied on the propriety Of grant nc
tho application in the present instance. -
He had attended tho examination OF this
case before Court, and was delighted to
see the charges brought against Mrs.
Thomas scattered as the mist before the
rising day. He would always be ready,
as on the present occasion, to sustain and
protect female virtue and innocence.
The bill passed the House without q
dissenting voice.
From the Wig.
Mrs. S. C. P. THOMAS. The applica.
cation OF this lady, for divorce from hel
husband, Francis Taomas, OF Maryland
has been robly responded to by the House
of Delegates. Her petition, handed 10 {
day or two since, was answered in ;ht
House by bill from the committee O
Courts OF Justice, which no. only was TO
ported in her favor unanimously by the
Committee; but the rules of the House
were suspended to take up the bill, tina, il
might 60 through all Its readings, and L
| it's final passage the same day.
twill be a source Of qualification TO tht
numerous friends Of this lady, when W,
inform them, that the bill for her diyorc,
aud change Of name, TO Miss S. c. P
M'Dowen passed without dissenting
voice.
