violation OF the provision of the bill relating
TO passengers. The bill was drawn up by
the Senator from Massachusetts, and | am
bound to say that he has manifested great
industry and signal ability. And l think
that when carefully examined by the Sem
ate, 1t will be very certain 10 meet its appro-
val. IL does meet mine, and will receive
my hearty concurrence. If there are any
additional provisions which should be deem
ed necessary, in relation TO the ventilation of
these boats, or of any other description,
| can only say, that there is concurrent
sentiment existing in the Committee on
Commerce, TO add all necessary provisions
to meet all the evils that may be found to
exist in the case.
The bill is IL very important one, and one
in which deep interest is taken by the pub
lie. The caamities and evils complained
of are indeed startling, and can state, the
committee are fully impressed with its im-
porlance. The Senator from Massachusetts
Mr. DAVIS who has it in charge, will ask
for its consideration at the earliest practical
Bile moment.
Mr.. BRADBURY. l desire simply TO add
that have received numerous communica-
tons, founded upon the same misapplcation
~ WHICH alluSloil HAS ueeii ulaue, ioiii uIl'
ferent parts Of my State. The explanation
which my colleague has gwen, will remove,
think, all misapprehensions on the subject.
desire to add, that am very glad 20 learn
that it is in contemplation by the Committee
on Commerce to propose an amendment to
the bill already reported, imposing severe
penalties for the neglect TO provide sufficient
and suitable food for passengers. l hope
the bill will be taken up at an early day, and
receive prompt consideration. believe that
the Senate will be satisfied, from a detail OF
the facts, that greater and more horrid abus-
es have never been inflicted on civilized
men, than are continually practiced, even a,
the present day, upon large numbers OF pas
sengers in some Of the steamers plying be.
tween the Atlantic ports and California.

"The Duke of Devonshire has sent over by

from Sir Joseph Paxton, as well as one from
the Duke, accompanied the costly present.

business which they get, then let them give
up, and our word for ii, the State of Maine
will furnish merchant ships enough to do the
same service as acceptably, and at much loOer
rates. 1t is this idea of fostering projects by
government, which claim TO be of national
character, to pander TO our national pride, that
we complain of-for it is not only impolitic in
itself, but it is unjust to private, individual en-
terprise, which is the true source of nation s
pride, and entitled, above every thing else, to
a nations encouragement and approval.

Public Humiliation, Fastin. and Prayer.
FOR 4 DAY OF

Public Humiliation, Fasting and Prayef'
A kind Providence has again brought us to
the commencement of the season of showers
and sunshine of flowers and fruits, of enjoy
ments and hopes, and of toll and anticlpatlons
The past year has been crowned with the
fruition of plentiful abundance for the supply
of our animal wants, with tn" enjoyment OF an
unwonteL degree of wealth and temporal pros
perity. We have been surrounded with all the
facilities for intellectual culture and develop
ment, and with all the means fitted to secure
our immortal well being. But has it left upon
our minds anything but a faint impress of the
bounties received, and of blessings enjoyed >
Is the hand of an everything and benehcent
Providence seen and felt in all this Have not
pride and self confidence usurped, in our
hearts, the place which should be filled with
honor and gratitude to the Father and Oliver of
all
If so, let us in self abasement implore His
forgiveness for the past, and suppcate His aid
for the future-thaI we may be delivered OF the
sins that have so readily beset us, of pride and
self reliance-that He will implant in us right
heart and right spirit for the reception of
His bounties, that He will impart to the
down trodden and suffering nations of the
earth, the blessings He has vouchsafed to us.
10 this end do, hereby. with The advice of
the Executive Council, appoint and set apart
THURSDAY, the fifteenth day of April next.
as a day of Public Humiliation, Fasting and
Prayer; and do hereby recommend to the
citizens of this State, that day to refrain from
all employment inconsistent with this end, in
the fear of the Lord, to inculcate the same upon
their children and those under their care, and
with one accord to repair TO their several places
of public worship, there to offer up their pray
ers and supplications to the one Being who con-
trolls all and bestows all.
