THE BoARDrNG OF THE FALcoN.-We
.,e indebted says the N. Y. Tribune ia
MARSHALL o. Roberts. Esq, ageas of the
New York and Chagres Steamship Com
many, for the following copy Of letter
from Lieutenant Rodgers. commander OF
the steamship Falcon:
II, S. MoI Steamer Falcon.
HapGssG. Aug. IL, 1851.
SIR: I arrived here with The Falcon
,eeterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, from
Chagres, which left at P. M. of the
18th.
You will no doubt have heard by the
Brother Jonathan of the Ohio's accident.
She left Chagres on the 10th. at 8 P. NJ.
,ad as long as she could be seen appear
ed 70 get along almost as fast with one
wheel as she has done with two.
In consequence of the crippled state
of the Ohio, we judged it best for this
ship 20 receive the mails aud specie. 1
was ia hopes that the passengers of the
Sarah Sands would reach Chagres in
lime to take passage with us. but up
70 the time we left there was no news
.af her arrival at Panama. The govern
meut here is much troubled and alarmed
by the landing of body of invaders
from the United States, and the expected
arrival of more.
Yesterday, when running for this
mace, was chased by a steam-frigate.
but Kept my course and she did not catch
us: but another steamer. under the CON-
mand of the General of Marines, came
out from under the land and Intercepted
us. She fired four shots astern aud ahead
of us, and at length, ranging alongside,
hailed TO us TO stop. which, after many
.epetltions of his hail. did. He sent an
officer on board TO inquire into the char
acter of the ship. and wished me TO go
OH board of him, which refused to do,
telling him also / should, upon my arri-
val at Havana. make official protest con-
cerlling the affair. The laws of nations
and existing circumstances may justify
his course. and [ thought It better at the
time not to jeopardize the lives OF the
passengers and interests of the owners
by using my force; although it was at a
great sacrifice OF sesrs0hal feeling that
RETAINED | shall see the consul to-day

about daylight, young man, by the name of
Iaughlin Me Donald, who has been living with
Messrs. 5. nj. Rutherford T. Co., was arrested on
a charge of stealing. He had always borne good
character, and no one ever susp ected him of being
dishonest, and as soou as it was made known,
there was quite an excitement created. 1t ap-
pears from the amount of goods stolen, that he
has been engaged in the business fer several
months. lie had prepared a small room, on Gar
rison Avenue, with shelves, and intended 10 open
his store in a few days, having made arrangements
10 procure some goods in Van Buren,, and in this
place, and as the time drew near for CONNIE ncing
business, he became more dgent in his thieving
of nights. He was discovered carrying a trunk
up from Messrs Rutherford & Co.'s store, on
Friday night, and on Saturday night he was watch
ed by Mr.. JOS. ) Ws!,on sad Mr. William BEN

They permitted him to fill his trunk and suffered
him to carry it to the place where he had for the
deposit OF the stolen goods After he returned to
the store of ). M. Rutherford Il CO., where he

was found amOngs the lot taken from other stores.
The articles taken consisted of every thing that is

AMERICAN EXPLORATION OF AFRlCA.-"lOn," the

81 learn that Lieut.. Watkins has asked leave of
absence, on present pay, for himself and one Off
and FIVE six men from the naval service, and
for an outfit consisting of small iron steamboat,
etc, moi costing ib the whole than ten thou
sane dollars, for the purpose of exploring the
important rivers in Africa. He proposes TO begin
with the river St Paul, which, as there is reason
to believe, has course Of several hundred miles
through rich, beautiful, and healthfu country,
.eeming with commercial products. The river is
destined to afford facilities to Liberia for a vast
commerce., and therefore, it is Of great Importance
to the success of colonization. aud of the cOntem-
plated line Of steamers to Africa, that it should be
explored. The establishment of interior colonies,
and the opening of an inland trade would be the
result.
Lieut.. Watkins intends next to follow in the
career of discovery and exploration that was COM
menced by Park CIaPperton, Landers, Trotter land
many others, who, though they perished in their
attempts still effected something for tho obj ect in
view. The Americans, with improved facilities
and better adoption of means, will, / have NO
doubt, meet with some success Ii officers of our
navy once take up this subject, vii! undert AXE
to say that they will not abandon till they can
show the world mop Of Africa which is not
three-fo blank, and part of the remainder
mere guess work. Lieut.. Watkins is confident in
his belief that he will find ample coal fields on
the st. Pauls anj this aIene would be discovery
of vast Importance to the future commerce aud

A PALPABLE HIT.-The Bath (Maine)
Tribune. in commenting on the proceed
ings of the late Convention of the Coali-

more truth than poetry:
"Ihe doings of the convention reads
very important lesson upoh the character
OF the self-styled Democracy. Ii shows
US that they are the creatures of circum-
stances, seeking for power-tfat different
portions of the same party will endorse
or deny any thing by which they hope TO
get lifted into Office Iu Maine they are
at present pretty generally Union men.
In Massachusetts there is majority OF
them ready 10 JOIN with the abolitionists.
In the South they are almost all seces-
sionlsts. Last year, when there was an
ofhce to fill, the Democracy OF Maine
We're Just as good abolitionisis as their
brethren of Massachusetts are to-day

The WHALING FLEET THE UNITED STATES
The haIing List, of New Bedford, contains some
interesting statistics, from which some idea of the
immense extent Of the whaling business may be
formed. BY far the greater portion Of this busI-
is confined to Massachusetts. The whole
number OF vessels employed is six hundred and five
New Bedford has two hundred and seventy five
ships and barks. and more than half the tonnage.
Nantucket, New Bedford, and Farhaven, have
about equal interest in tho business. There
are now hundred and thirty-two large ships
and barks in port, fitting for sea, and they will
require nearly four thousand men for officers and
crew. The total amount Of property invested in
the whaling must be between twenty and thirty
millions of dollars, and the oil taken must amount
to rising ten millions Of dollars yearly to make it
paying business; but from examination OF the
list We should judge that the sperm wl'alers were
not doing profitable business, many OF them hav-
ing been ON, three years more, are now report
ed with small fares The FIRST seven months of
this year, there has been landed about y 800 900
worth OF sperm, S4 100000 worth Of whale oil,
and 81 100000 worth of bone, making tota! OF
$500 900 for the first seven mouths, giving for
year nearly 81 100000.
