DESTRUCTION OF THE OCEAN
MONARCH.

Since the melancholy details we published
YESTERDAY, we have had an opportunity of con-
versing with one of the passengers Ofthe Ocean
Monarch, and with an other gentleman, well
known in this community, who arrived in Liv-
erpool the night after the accident, and who
took pains to familiarize himself with all the
details Of the distressing casualty. Both
these gentlemen speak In terms OF reproba-
ton OF the conduct Of Capt. Murdoch. We
hope for his own credit and for the credit of
American seamanship, that Capt. NJ. may be
able to clear up satisfactorily some Of the char
res made against him.
These charges are, that he neglected the
ship and passengers, and sought his own per-
sonal safety as soon as possible. The spars
were allowed to remain standing, when they
might have been cut down. and by falling up
on the groups of frantic beings clustered up
on the deck, caused great destruction oflife.
Then again the five boats belonging to the
vessel were suffered to get on fire before they
were lowered, with the exception Of two
One Of these, in charge Of the first mate, con-
tanned only five or six persons. 1t was with

one poor fellow pulled OF his stockings and
stopped the hole, and they were obliged to
bail out the water with their hats. The 9TH
er boat was freighted with some Of the crew
and passengers, and started for Liverpool
1t was asserted that Capt. NJ. was in this last
boat. The first mates conduct was spoken
of in high terms of commentator. After
having discharged his cargo he returned tC
the ship and did what he could to rescue 9th
ers.
Our informant remained on the ship six
! hours after the flames had burst out, and wa:
finally picked up by the boat Of the Brazilian

OLD ACTORS DON'T REPENT.

B. f. Butler, Mr.. Van Bnrens factotem at Buff;l-
10, said in his speech to the Convention:
Here we have old actors upon the political
board. barely allude to my actions merely to
say that am not here to unsay or to undo any
thing that have before said or done
Remember this Wings. The Free Democra-
CIV" as Martin Van Buren, calls the free soilers,
do not unsaY or undo anything they have before
sad or done" Not they-They are never HUM
BUGGED-they only HUNBUG OTHERS. If Wings
take them, therefore they take them unannointed,
unaneld-with all their political sins upon their
fronts Wings swallow all you have said or
done, and come to us-we neither swallow nor
unsay anything-that IS the cry! The first arti-
Gle in our creed, says John Van Buren,, is to de-
fs4t the Wigs"
And we say in the language of John P. Kene-
dy, of Baltimore
The Wings need no new organization, no new
name That which we bear has been consecra-
ted IN many battle of freedom, and it will,
trust long serve to rally the brave and pure spir
lis who stand up for popular rights and free gov
eminent in time to come"
And every true wing viii unite in opinion with
III. webster and add For my part, in the dark
and troubled night that is upon US, see no star
above the horizon promising light to guide US but
the intelligent patriotic, and united Wing Party
OF the United States"

CAssrus NJ. Clay IN TRouRLE.-Some two
years since, while Col. Humphrey MaTsnsr1-s
regiment of Kentucky Cavalry was cncamped
below this city, Capt. Cassius NJ. Clay was
ordered by the Col. to proceed with detail
of men and arrest some men who had left the
camp without orders, and were supposed to
be at house Of questionable character in the
lower part of the city, kept by woman named
Eliza Boiler. Capt. G. proceeded TO the house
and being refused admitance, ordered an en-
trance to be forced, which was done, although
several shots were fired from 1t, one OF which
took effect in the face of one Of his men,
During the affair the house was considerably
damaged, and the furniture in it almost entire
ly demolished. Mrs. Boiler instituted a suit
against Capt. Clay for the amount of damage
she sustained, and the case was brought up
for trial yesterday. After patient hearing of
the case the Jury returned a verdict of S50l
damage against Capt Clay. We understand
that her counsel claimed that all who partic-
ipated in the affair were liable, but suit was
brought against Capt. C.. he being in com
mand, and regarded as fully responsible.-

manner in which this leader evaded the hands
of the law.
ssThe Dublin Evening Post viii be happy
TO hear that Mr.. Richard O'Gorman was In
the hands Of Mr. Little, x. NJ, who however,
the Post will be mortified to learn, that he let
him slip through his fingers, or more properly,
from his arm. Before the steamboat was scar
ched at the quay Of Kilrosh, as we have al
ready related, Mr.. Little and the police were
standing on the stones, devouTlng with their
eyes every MALE passenger who happened to
be standing or sitting waiting or Longing on
the deck of the vessel. The plank was put
out, and the passengers disembarked, stepping
out on the landing with considerable alacrlty,
and walking the gauntlet between the hles OF
police. There was an old lady, however, OF
sallow complexion, and dressed, some say, in
black, who got ost with some difficulty and
lettering good deal, and complaining not a
little. was making her way up the slip to
where Mr.. Little, X. NJ, happened to be
standing. His attention was attracted, his
oallantry was aroused, and he courteously
descended, offered his arm, and led the feeble
old lady up to the landing. Little did he
know who the Ladll was. We are positively
assured she was Richard 'Gorman-that he
was among the passengers, numbers no" as
sert and that information to that effect was
furnished Mr.. Lode, is perfectly obvious ffoin
