United State, Steam Marine


In all that concerns the use OF steam, in locomo-
ton, the United States are far in advance Of
any other nation The subject has become, tncre-
FORE one Of immense magnitu le and Of correspond
ing import ance to the ration. To have all the
terial facts for proper legislation before them the
Senate in May, 1850, passed resolution requesting
Mr.. Corwin, Secretary Of the Treasury, to report
the number, tonnage, crews Bipd Of steam, and
number of passengers. ofsteam vessels for the Uni
ted States for the year ending July !, ISL. The
Secretary appointed intelligent agents to procure
this information, and has transmitted to the Senate
Tin the report before us,) complete statement,
in all essential interesting particulars, of the
tire steam marine ofthe United States. This report
is Of great interest to all commercial men, it
tains r. eat body of information on the subject Of
iDsuia nce, losses, hazards. human movement, &c
Wercgret to say that the Senate mad sertenty, we
presume, made no order for extra copies, so that
those who desire to see it, must make interest with
some member Of Congress. We here only
tract some general facts, which may be Of general
interest We shall present these facts in the order
the Senate called for them. To make these facts
more clearly understood AMI especially in reference
to the trade and commerce Of different sections Of
the Union, the coast was separated from the in
terror, and then again subdivided, as will be seen

Ill LossEs OF Bears AND LIvBs.-The report
shows that Of the steamers of the interior, on the
lakes and rivers, there lost in the single year
1851. llS steamers, and 695 lives. We cannot here
analyze the causes Of these disasters-Oue of the
most interesting things connected with this inquiry
but we may note that tenth part of the whole
number Of steamers in the interior destroyed
III single year, and that this is altogether outside
the Ordinary wear and tenr.
OF all the steamers in the United States. one tenth
part annually destroyed by fatal accidents, and
II this goes for ten years. there will be In that
time fourteen hundred steamers and seven thousand
lives destroyed bv steamboat accidents! This is a
contemplation Of future evil which may well attract
the attention Of government and philanthropists
Surely 1t Is not necessary that thousands OF lives

plosions, caused by carelessness or ignorance, in
steamers 1t is not steam that the evil, fer
look At our railways. where the steam locomotive
t,averses thirty miles an hour with comparatively
few accidents. 1t is the lamentsb disregard paid
by the ano captains of the secondrate boats
TO tho safety Of life or property.
We intend, in future article, to glance at tho
causes Of loss-the amount of property destroyed
the insurance risks and that most interesting sub
ject, the human movement of the United States.
one of the most important topics Of inquiry TO all
railway companies and steamboat owners The
report not being directly that subject, is, Of
course, not complete to that branch Of the inqu-
ry But it embraces y much larger body Of facts
than can be found In any other document on that
subject.
In conclusion, we add that the present Secretary
Of the Treasury, (Mr. Corwin) has the honor Of
giving to the public more valuable reports and sta
ts.ies than has been done by any one since the days
Of Hamilton.
