Vessels MUST CARRY LIGHTs.-Judge Grier. of the
T. S Circuit Court, in Philadelphia on the 9Th inst
delivered an opinion, 10 which he held that vessels
navigating the Delaware, at night, without lights and
collision thereby ensue. the party neglecting
would be held liable for damages. The case before
the court was that of the barque Delasrare VS.. the
steamer Osprey The latter had lights, and the for
none, that the steamer, being unable the
barque, run into her. The owners of the Deleware
subsequently brought snt for damages, but the court
held she in the wrong, and could not recover,
from the fact that she had neglected TO carry lights.

appeals with resstless force to the justice aud hu
manity of the whole American people. hope to
see IL sustained by the liberal action of the National
Government, seconded 10y contributions from The
several States The employment OF Government
steamers to transport colored emigrauts from this
country, would soon obviate the necessity for

now maintained there by the United States. at great
expense and waste Of life, for the suppression of
the slave traffic. Ii may be objected TO the claims

poses will require a long series of years. But we
should reflect that it 10 impossible to remove

ga growing desire to emigrate is manifested by
the black population, and many masters have de-
clared their readiness to free their slaves when
means can be found for their removal. Some OF the
States have made considerable appropriations to
promote the object, and an increasing interest has
been evinced by others. New York ought not to
be behind her neighbors in the performance OF
duty SO important to her own welfare, and SO be.
nefcial to large portion OF the human family now
held in melancholy debasement. 1t is a work in
which christians and patriots Of all parties and In
all sections unite their efforts without involv
ing the country in political or geographical dis
sensions submit the whole subject to your en-
lightened consideration, in the firm belief that up
on a full examination of its merits you will deem
it in accordance with justice and policy, and an

TO THE FRIENDS OF IRELAND IN THE
UNITED STATES.

IYNnk rs ESlABLlShNENIo OF steam Cofnfnunlca-
Il tion between the United States aud Ireland is
a project which has long engaged the anxious at
tcnon OF real friends OF the latter country on both
sides OF the Atlantic. Aware of the obstacles which
any movement originating in Ireland or England
for the realization Of the project would necessarily
encounter, number Of gentlemen resident in this
city some time since constituted themselves q
committee for the organization Of nm Irish and
American Steamship Company, and. in support OF
the enterprise appealed TO the patriotism OF Irish
men and their desce endants, and the friends of Ire
land in the United States.
This movement was hailed with appreciation
throughout the country, and the enthusiasm with
which hundreds of persons OF humble means came
forward to sustain IL was a guarantee of its uti-
mate success.
Though retarded for a time by various unforeseen
circumstances, the undersigned are happy TO know
that the project has now assumed q form in which
the concentrated efforts Of the friends Of Ireland in
America are only wanting to insure for it speedy
triumph.
proposition submitted by Ambrose w Thomp-
con, esq on behalf OF the Committee OF the Irish
and American Steamship Company, for a contract
for conveying the mails between New York and
Galway, or some other suitable port on the west
coast OF Ireland, in frst-class steamships, is now
before the Congress of the United States, backo
by the recommendation Of the Postmaster General
We are justified in expecting that the proposition
recommended will receive favorable consider
alton at the hands OF Congress.
The interests Of commerce, which would be pro-
NOTED by lcssoning the distance between Europe
and America; the health, the comfort, the moral
welfare Of the thousands who annually quit their
native land 10 seek home amongst US; tho hopes
and prayers of millions who recognise in this
terprse the first practicable step towards the re-
generation Of Ircland-all demand the establish
rnent of the Irish line.
Congress, doubt not, will chcerfully ac-
knowledge the justice of the demand; but IL Is the
sacred duty OF Irshmen in the United States to
manifest lively and active interest ain an enter
prise raught with blessings to the land Of their
birth, and TO sustain il by all the social moral, and
political influences which they can command.
The necessary arrangements nave been made TO
secure with the least possible delay suitable char
ter for the company, which will be organized under
the style and title Of the Irish and American
Steamship Company"
On and after the LIST Of February the permanent
office oi the company will be at No Nassau street,
New York.

quiries respecting the condition of different State
