Stevenson's expedition were all filled on Friday
last. Twelve companies were then offered, while
only ten are required. Many, therefore, will be
disappointed, as two three companies have
been raised since, which will not be accepted
They are to muster about the Goth.

BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL special meeting Of the
Board was called for yesterday Upon calling the
roll, quorum not having answered, the meeting
was dissolved.
STEAMSHIP PALMErTo-DEsPATCH-T fine
steam packet Palmetto left yesterday afternoon at
o'clock for Charleston, it being her regular day,
This packet has been exceedingly successful this
season, and the regularity Of her trips has given
the public great confidence in her. She has made
her passage to and from Charleston, and her en-
gnes have not stopped a MOMENT on either trip
This is pretty good evidence that they are of the
right sort.
ANOTHER YAcHr.-The Coquette, from Boston,
arrived last evening. Messrs. Perkins, Hastings
and Chickering, came round in her, and are at
the Aston.
ACClDENT ON THE SOUND-On tuesday night,
between 8 and 10 O'Clock, while the steamer
Neptune on her way TO Providence was off Hun
tiDgton Light, she came in contact with the
schooner lolas, of Passport, Maine, bound with
a load of plaster and lumber for this port. AS
they struck, six persons, who were on the schoon-
er, jumped on board the steamer, and informed
the Captain that there was still remaining on
board the schooner, lady and child. BY this
time, however, the vessels were a considerable
distance from each other, and before any effort
for the rescue of the unfortunates could be made,
the schooner, with all on board, went down. The
lady's name was Murphy, and her child was
Neptune had seen the schooner, and ordered the
steamers course changed. But at the same time
the schooner's course was changed, which rem
dered the collision certain, and in a moment they
had struck. The Captain OF the Neptune, at the
urgent solicitation of the passengers returned to
the city, although the Neptune Is but slightly
damaged
Thisis one statement. Another account men,
tons that the Neptune was without a captain or
mate, and hence the sad disaster.
We learn from Captain VIM. N. Peck, of the
steamer Suffolk, from Stoney Brook, that he
passed, yesterday morning, quantity of lumber
ana several barrels, and saw several barrels
ashore at Long Beach. They attracted his at
tention, and led him to suppose that there had
been wreck. he, therefore, sent his boat ashore,
picked up chest and several barrels, threw up
a quantity of the cargo high on the beach, and
then sent 10 the wreck master. 1t is, of course,
supposed that the lumber, barrels, and chest be-
longed to the Iolas
The Suffolk, when here, lays at the Fulton
Market.
EXCURSION INrosTTIoNs-We have heard num-
Der OF complaints from persons who were pas
sengers on board of a steamboat which was adj
vertised for excursion around Sandy Hook
lights, on Tuesday, and which only went about a
mile below Fort Hamilton There the captain
refused to go any farther, or return the money paid
for the excursion. The steamboat afterwards got
aground, and many of the passengers were obliged
to come up in the Coney Island boat. Such i'm
positions are as bad for the boat as the passen-
gers.
We are informed that the anniversary of the
