board OF steamboats, has yet been reported back by
the COMMITTEES on Commerce Of the House. and some
apprehensons for its fate have consequently been in
duged, in particular quafters, from this delay But
TOO deep feeling pervades this country on
this subject TO render il probable that 10
loudly demanded will be passed over in silence.
Some incidental amendments 10 the bill as il came
from the Senate may be found indispensable for the
greater safety OF the travelling public, and we pre-.
sumo II is for the purpose Of providing every such
possible safeguard that the labors Of the committee have
not yet been brought 10 close The late awful cass
ropbe OF The destruction OF the "Hsnry Clay" has aroused
the whole continent 10 Of existing danger. The
best and most available should at be put in
requsi,on for the future protection Of the travelling
munity There is now much insecurity and hazard on
board Of our steamers Humanity has been terribly shocked
with the appalling details of the recent calamy upon the
Hudson, and greater caution and care must be observed
10 insure the public safety With perhaps some few
amendments, the pending bill will be rendered az perfect
