AT the time of the explosion, the Cap
tain and First Mate had turned in, and the
Second Mate was on watch.
Great credit is awarded by all the saved
passengers to MFR. Eddy, of Cleveland, for
the prompt, cool, and energetic manner in
which he directed things on board the
wreck, after the Captain and first mate had
LEFT. @
Mr.. Eddy says that about % cabin pas
tengers sat dawn to tea-17 more came on
board after the arrival Of the Cincinnati
traia-there were 20 in the steerage, and
the crew may be estimated at 81 more
This is an aggregate of IS. If we suppose
that 43 were rescued, fhe loss of life will
be fifty. We are apprehensive that it will
net be less.

Mr.. Webster arrived here at five o'clock
last evening.
He was conveyed in Barouche to the
Revere House, in Boudoin Square, where
the citizens had assembled to welcome him.
He was there addressed by Mr.. Benia-

enthusiasm was great. Mr.. c. made a
brief speech, and MIR. Webster replied in
his usually happy style, speaking only a.
bou. fifteen minutes. He coughed three
times during the delivery. The report
say that he came out manfully in his re-
buke of agitation against slavery as a
ghostly abstraction, and has promised, on
his return to the Senate to make his course
free from misapprehension.

TIE TARIFF OF ls46.-The Washing
ton Republic is making vapid and fee.
BILE attempt to revive old prejudices on this
subject. A solitary fact, stated by 'fObser.
ver.'' the Washington correspondent of the
Ledger, thus blows its whole argument ln-
to the air.
The Revenue from Customs, for the
fiscal year ending 3Oth June, 1850. ex.
ceeds already the estimates of Mr.. Mered.
i.h, for the whole year, by more than half
a million Of dollars 1t will probably
rench between thirty.six and thirty-eight,
perhaps forty millions of dollars This
has not been "famine;" and the phenom-
enon must therefore be explained on new
principle. There is, nevertheless, strong
party in Congress, who want to see home
valuations Introduced to protect the revenue
against frauds, and to give the American
manufacture or iron master the bene fit oil
the experience of number Of years, by
fixing the value of the dutiable- article,
according to its average price for CERTAIN
period. This will not interfere with the
principles of the Tariff of 1916, and yet
prove satisfactory to many who are now
partially opposed to it.
