Uncle Tom and his heroic young friends, to re-
member that those models OF excellence were born
and bred under the very system denounced. Our
vocation, journalists, brings into too close fam
ary with the brittle nature of our own social fabric,
and hesitate TO throw stones which our opponents
will be too glad to throw back at our own heads.
The temerty OF the Sutherland appeal served only to
show that the fair appellants were not sufficiently
acquainted with the evils much more within their
reach and their sphere OF obligation.

much even for Mrs. exPresident Tyler to write as If
England had done nothing suffered nothing paid
nothing, IN the cause of abolition. We cannot admit

right has she to assert that the Sutherland House

us it is the crueest cut of all to be thought

Wreck OF the Queen Victoria steamer-Finy
Lives Lost.
An appalling accident happened in Dublin bay,
on the 18th ult. The Queen Victoria, one of the
steamers belonging to the City of Dublin Steamship
Company, from Liverpool to Dublin, struck at Howth
in fog and went down. The screams Of the afrghted
passengers and crew were heard by the parties on
board the ROscOmmon steamer, which had Just left
Kingstown harbor for iHolyhead. The captain hove
to Immediately, and by great exertion succeeded in
picking up between forty and fifty persons who
struggling in the water-some Of them cnging to /
portions Of the wreck, and others holding to the
masts and rigging of the Inflated vessel. The re-
mander, according to some accounts more than 100,
and certainly not less than &c. were lost. Among the
missing persons is the commander of the vessel Capt
West, who has been on the station upwards
OF twenty years. and who universally respected.
The accident appears to have occurred through the
fog which prevailed along the coast when the vessel
struck The shoal upon which she ran is known as
the Bayley Rocks, in the immediate vicinity of the
Howth lighthouse. Immediately after completing
his humane efforts; the captain Of the Roscommon
returned to KingstOwn with the rescued sufferers,
whose woebegone and heart broken appearance ex-
cited universal c0mmiseration. The scene presented
to the passengers by the express boats of truly
heartrending nature. In every direction, as far as
the eye could reach, portions Of the wreck, trunks,
boxes barrels baskets, and all other descriptions Of
luggage belonging to the passengers, were seen
floating on the water. The greatest excitement pre-
walls on the subject of the wreck.

Letters from Turin, of the 9th instant state that
cabinet council was held the day before under the
presidency of the King in consequence Of the agta-
vinces adjoining Lombardy. The emigrants, how
ever had not moved and the Lombard chiefs residing
at Turin treated the whole affair with the utmost /
contempt 1t appears that Messrs Sa and Pistrucci,
formerly members Of the republican government az
Rome, came from London to the canton of Ticno, to
be near the scene Of action They took up their
quarters at Bellinzona until telegraphic order ar

Of the canton The anniversary of the battle of No
vara had at first been chosen for the explosion of the
conspiracy. The chiefs were anxious to give the
rising the appearance Of reparation Of that dsas
ter and thus to induce the Pedmontese army to join
in the movement; but many of the conspirators de-
clared that would be dangerous wait until March
as the Austrian police was extremely vigilant and
would discover the plot. They accordingly resolved
to raise the standard on the Sunday of the Carni-
val. On that day mobs collected on three diff
ferent points Of the capital Of Lombardy at the gates
of Ticino, Roma, and Tosa, and having marched into
the city, surprised few military posts, and erected
barcades at the Of several streets with every
article they found. But the object Of the conspira
tors was TO gain possession Of the citadel which is
situated near the trumphal arch at the extremity of
the city. Insurgent bands advanced in that direc-
ton by the streets OF PaOlo and Orso. They sue
cseded in entering the first tower Of the CASTILLO,
where they murdered some officers, but the gate
leading to the inner court, containing the artillery
and ammunition having been closed in time, the at
tempt failed. They were Immediately surroundedby
the troops and all taken prisoners The number of /
