Burning of the Henry Clay.

On Wednesday of last week, the 29th ult.,
the steamer Henry Clay was burned on the
North River, about twenty miles above New
York. The boat was racing with the Armenia,
from the time it left Albany till the occurrence
of the catastrophe. And in consequence of this
it was, that it occurred. There were on board
between 800 and 400 passengers. Such was
the manifest rccklessness of tho conductors of
the boat, that the passengers were alarmed and
made frequent remonstranccs long before the
occurrence Of the accident The loss Of life it is
said, cannot be less than one hundred-73 have
already been reclaimed from their watery graves.
Among the dead are Miss Hawthorn, sister OF
Nathaniel Hawthorn, the author; Stephen AL
len, formerly Mayor of New York, and a. ].
Downing editor of the Horticulturalist and au-
thor Of various works on ornamental gardening
and rural architecture.
Tho boat was run on shore bow foremost, and
as the fire in the midship, those at the stern
had no means of escaping the flames but by
plunging into the deep watcr-wherc multi.
tudcs perishcd, Notwithstanding the vigorous
efforts of some of the passengers, officers and
others for their rescue. This is nothing less
than wholesale murder and so the citizens OF
New York regard it.
The following is the latest intelligence:
NEW YoRK, Aug 2d-5 p. M.-Tho work OF
raising the steamer Henry Clay is still going
forward-and it is now thought that nearly all
of the bodies have been recovered.
Warrants were issued to-day against Thomas
Collycr, William Radiord, and Capt. Tollman,
the owners; John Germane, the Engncor j.
l.. Jessup, the Clerk, and Edward Hurbut, the
pilot. The two first wero arrested and gave bail
in the sum OF $4,000 cach,to appear when call

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Hiity Lanes Letter.


If any of our readers have skipped over the
first "picce" in this No. Of the Buglc, we advise
them to turn right back and read it. We are
very glad that Mrs. Lane concluded to tell her
trials to the Buglc and its friends; and we hope
she will continue to talk with them, as she finds
time from her work. She will find many Of
them who can sympathisc with her, and will
be pleased to know how she gets along For
the Bugc folks are a very friendly sort Of peo-
pic, notwithstanding others tell such ugly stories
about them, and call them such hard names.
We don't wonder that Mrs. Lane was afraid
Of the Buslc, and would not reod it at first
There are so many women that belong to tho
chueh and so many men that don't belong to
the temperance society-so many wings and
domocrats-dcacons and ministers, who all say
that it does so much hurt-that it is iEfdcl--
is poisoning the minds of the people, and is not
fit to be read, that it skarcs great many men
who would like to be thought to have moro
courage than Mrs. Lane, or any other woman.
But we are glad she did read it; and that she
moro than half likes il now. We know great
many women and men too, who would be just
like her, if they would only read and have a
mind of their own.
If Brother Taylor and the scientific world
are good authority, Mrs. Lane is right and Eve
is certainly clear of the charge so long ago
made against her.
AS to our helping Mrs. Lane out ofhor trials,
we guess there is not much need Of that. She
will get out herself if she will 90 right along
and not bother about Adam and Eve and original
sin, and great many other things, that the
ministers talk so much about. She had better
let them alone. For if she tries ever so hard
she wont know much more about them when
she is done, than she docs now; The best way
is to try and learn what is true and right. To
mako ourselves free by the truth, and by doing
all we can to get rid of intcmperanco and slavery
and ignorance and suffering around us. That is
the way the man did that lived in Samaria a
great many years ago, and VIC always thought
he did great deal better than the priest and
the Lcvitc who went by on the other side. -
From the way Mrs. Lane writes, VIC dare say
she is some relation of his,
If people would only do ns he did, as our
friend says, they would have purcr and a bet
ter God to worship. Then too, they would
worship him in spirit and in truth. BY the
way VIC should not wonder if ministers and other
folks should call Mrs. Lane an infidcl because
she says this. But she is not. For she has
scripture to provcit. 1t says "Thou thoughtest
l was altogether such an one as thysclf;" which
makes it very plain that the God we worship
grows better, just as fast as VIC do.

Mr.. Douglass said he came to the Senate this
morning expecting to be heard on the bill for
the protection of emigrant routes to California
and Oregon, question which he thought the
people of the United States considered Of far
more importance than speeches on the repeal of
the Fugitive Slave law. lie wanted to hear no
Presidential speeches in the Senate. They
could be made elsewhere. lie would vote
against taking the resolution up.

any or all of his Abolition brethren wish to
show that they have tho first honorable princi-
pie about them, they can have an opportunity of
releasing said negro slave from bondage, by
calling on The subscriber at the Southern House
previous to that time, and paying 800.

"The Abolition or Frecsoil party are rodoub-

Throughout the whole North and even as far
down as Kentucky and this District, they arc
organizing what they call the "Frce Demo-

larger and more dangerous than the demonstra-
