HoRRiBLE STATE OF THINGS ON Board

HORRIBLE STATE OF THINGS ON BOARD
OF BRIrIsH SHrP.-The Blanche. Captain
Duckllt, British ship, arrived at Slau2hter
House Point on The evening Of The 25th INST,
and yesterday morning DR.. Frederick w.
Hart the health officer of the port, visited the
vessel. From him we learn that he found
the ship in the most filthy and disgusting
condition. She left Liverpool oil the 22d
January. with AS adults 500 souls in all, all
OF whom were shipped by broker named
James Mackay. On the 2lst Of February,
owing TO the crowded and miserable state or
the vessel, the Ship Fever made its appear
ance, aud twenty-six deaths occurred. Sub
sequently all the ships crew was attacked.
and neither the Log Book was written up,
nor any. OF the regulations for The manage
ment OF the vessel attended to. The CAP
tain is now down with fever, both Mates con-
fined to their berths, and the steward alone
able TO do duty. Dr. Hart says that the con-
dtion OF the ship beggars description, there
being at present about seventy or eighty
cases Of Ship Fever on board.
The inhumanity and recklessness of the
owners of the Blanche, in thus sending her
TO sea so greatly overcrowded, has no paral-
lei. The Ship Fever is now prevailing in the
Hospital. and these constant arrivals of ves-
sells in the very last Stage of filth, adds new
fuel TO the disease. If there is any law
which can reach the murderous owners and
consignees, we trust that they will be made
TO feel the effects ofit.-[ ~ u. Bee.

Tom HYER's CHALLENGE TO THE WORLD
There is hut little doubt that the celebra-
ted Tom Hyer will succeed in getting up a
puglistic encounter. according TO his chal-
lenge, without going 10 England for an op-
ponent He and his friends have been for
some time past bantering man named Good
uson, who is powerful fellow; and Hyer's
card, it was understood, had as much refer
ence TO him as to any one else, if not more
Gooduson's friends take this view of he mat
ter, and SO do Hyer's. In fact. Gooduson
himself, in a card in the New York papers
says as much and that 1t is not fear, but
selfrespect and his family which has made
him avoid it heretofore. This is precisely
the manner in which the contest between
Hyer and Sullivan was brought about, and
the same result may be witnessed in this
case.

EXTENSIVE REvESGs.-The Troy Why
says that man named McDaniels, at Gran
vile. Washington. N. Y. having had per-
sonal difficulty with the cashier of the Stark
Bank, of Bennington, collected some $1,000
OF the bills Of the bank and demanded specie
for them. in the expectation of compelling
the bank to close its doors. In this he was
disappointed. The Bank promptly met the
demand, and Mechanics took his specie and
left il in charge of a tavern keeper in the vi
cinity. who says he placed it under his own
bed when he retired to rest. In the morning,
it was missing, and all efforts to find it have
thus far proved unavalling.
