4 melancholy tale Of uoe.-The ship Lord
Ashburton. which left Liverpool on the 18th
Of September, arrived at Crosse Isle, below
Quebec, on Thursday, having lost on herpass-
age one hundred and screen OF her passengers
by fever and dysentery, with large number
still on The sick list
The following distressing particulars we
copy from the Quebec Mercury
10 any one conversant with the climate Of
tanda, the facts we arc about 10 cite will
prove how little regard for human life has
been had ny the lnhuman landlords Of Ireland
ana The nalocHal authorities OF the leading
seaportS of Great Britain.
On Saturday last, The 3O,h dav Of October,
the Lord Ashburton, a vessel from I.iverrool,
freghted with general cargo, and passengers,
arrived at Crosse Isle, in a mos wrctcbcd
state When sailing her passengers number

rival at quarantine station she had lost up
wards of enc hundred and scren, Of dmcntery

passengers arcrc then Wof The same complaints
So derlorahle was the condition of those on
board that five of the passengers had 10 re-
main 10 work the ship up from Crosse Isle
steamer, the Alliance, was sent down for
them and on board her all were embarked.
without respect To circumstances sicklv,
the healthy, the lettering and the dying! On
her way up from Crosse Isle 10 Quebec, five
deaths occurred; how many will have taken
| place before she reaches Montreal?
To continue our narration OF facts, this
same infected vessel has come up to Quebec.
and is now alongside a wharf 10 discharge
her cargo!
Is human life no consideration, We would
ask If il be not then was the immediate
despatch of that vessel TO our quay justified,
and the indiscriminate Cnmminging of her
passengers in the Alliance question of no
moment. But we maintain the contrary. IN
due haste has been exercised, and we are sur
prsed that our harbor master failed to do his
duty by not preventing communication with
vessel which cannot have been purified
To discharge a general cargo how many per
sons must be employed, and in how many diff
ferent quarters of the city may they now re
side? What, therefore, may be the conse-
qucnces OF this proceedings
Private interests we fear have been in the
ascendant in these instances

The Army Bill.

Mr.. Benton's bill to encourage enlist
ment in the regular army, passed both
houses Of Congress or the 9Th. tpro-
vi9es for enlisting recruits whose term
shall be five years or during the war: H.
a,so,eive, each recruit. $l2 bounty. There

rank and file Of the infantry and artillery,
in the regular army, which it is the object
of this bill to supply. The rifle and cav
airy corps are full, and recruits that may
hereafter enlist in these corps, will not be
entitled to bounty money on account or
the superior advantage they already have
over the infantry and artillery.
If Congress will come up as energeti-
cally to all the measures before them as
they have done to this they would satisfy
the country; but, unfortunately, there are
few black spirits in Congress who do.
vote all their energies to throwing embar-
rassment in the way Of the administration
to the injury OF the country and the en-
enlargement Of the enemy.
The last element that has been infused
into the war legislation Of the present
session, is the subject of: slavery. The
disorganizing spirit Of abolitionism, pan.
dered to by the whig party, has interposed
its blighting influence at a crisis when the
honor Of the nation and the credit OF our
arms are at stake. The move Of the aboli-
ton junto is to neutrality-suspicious. for

as it is by foreign war and its concomi-
