HE Loss OF THE WILLIAM AND MARY-The
Boston Journal, which is usually well informed
IN all marine affairs, says that there must be
either some msstatement in Captain Stenson
account OF the loss of his vessel, or some mis-
management at the time of the occurrence
According to thatstatement the ship struck on
rock on the northern part Of the Great Bahia
ma BANK at halt-past in the evening, beat a
hole in her bottom, and began to leak badly.
The ship was Immediately anchored in ten
tathoms water, and remained in that position
until the next morning at o'clock when she
sunk, with some two hundred persons on board,
who could not be taken off in the boats. AT
that time, the Great lsaacs bore f. s E seven
miles distant
There is no * danger - laid down in this posi-
! ton IN any chart of the bahamas, nor is any
rock or other danger mentioned in Blunts Coast
Pilot; and this part of the Bank is traversed
almost every day by large vessels bound through
the New Providence Channel and the Cult
Stream to Cuba or the Gulf Of Mexico. The
Northeast Rock is situated about one mile and
half \. E. from the Great Isaacs but this
can hardly be the ledge on which the ship struck.
if the ship was brought to anchor Immediately
after striking
The precise spot on which the ship struck may
not, however, be Of much consequence 10 the
public excepting as warning to other navga-
tors; but it is singular that, with n strong
breeze, the ship, instead Of being anchored, was
not kept under way through the night, and
every possible effort made to get farther ON tile
bank into shoal water, where the chances of III
on board being saved would have been Infinitely
greater than while the ship remained in ten
tathoms water

A FIGHT AT RoME.-A letter dated at Rome
April 20, gives this account Of fight between
French and Italian soldiers
The event of the week, concerning which the
whole town is talking,iis a grand fray between
French and Roman soldiers, near the fountain
Of Treyi, night before last 1t appears that a
Roman trumpeter, named Mariani, was solacinr
himself with mug Of wine in company with a
pothouse Dulcinea, when some French infantry
soldiers entered the OStCTiu, and invited the
trail fair one TO partake Of their Falernian also
which, being accustomed 10 general complai-
sance, she accepted thereby so irritating the
Roman, that he flung glass Of wine in her face,
and IN those Of her new protectors
An appeal dtF dTHteS was the immediate con =
sequence, and the trumpeter, fercely attacked
by five or six Frenchmen, was driven out of the
pothouse, and took refuge in a cafe opposite In
rushing in, however, hotly pursued by his enc
mics, his scabbard got between his lens and he
fell to the ground, where lie continued to defend
himself slashingly from the French soldiers
anu hKeWlse from n French sergeant who was
IN the cafe, aud attacked him with his sabre.
Three Roman dragons in the cafe seeing
such tremendous odds against their comrade,
unhesitatingly drew in his defence, and n regu
lar cavalry and infantry meiee ensuel, which
made such row in the quarter that strong
patrols Of French Immediately marched up, and
occupied all the outlets, and Immediately cap
tured the trumpeter up stairs, and the other
three Roman combattants in the MARQUIS Mac
carani's stable, Meanwhile the whole regiment
Of Roman dragons in the nighborhood of Pilotta
barracks were with difficulty restrained by their
officers from rushing out en- masse to rescue
their comrades,
Yesterday morning the colonel Of the dra-
goons repaired with eight men to the French
guardhouse, at San Marcello, and deman
ded his captive soldiers, who were consigned
to him by order Of the French General, and
lodged in the Papal military prison of St. Anne
whittier, although wounded, they were quite
able to walk, Some of the French are severely
wounded also.

Portage Investigation

The Board of Canal Commissioners, on tie
9TH, commenced an investigation into the causes
which produced the recent strike among por-
ton of the operatives on the Allegheny Portage
railroad. Their sessions were held along the
line of the road. The investigation viii be
continued at Harrisburg on the 26th instant
During their session the Portage the Board
adopted the following resolutions:
Resoleed, That the superintendent of the Phil
adelphia and Columbia, and Allegheny Portage
railroad, and the supervisors of the several d.
visions of the Pennsylvania Canal, be directed
in the disbursement of money for the payment
of debts, in all cases to pay first those creditors
who have performed the labor and in no case to
pay any check roll or other evidences of debt in
the hands of second parties, until all the debts
in first hands shall have been fully paid
Resolced, That the superintendents and super
visors be also directed to draw from the Trea-
sury, at the earliest practicable moment, as
much money as may be necessary TO pay all
back debts due to iaborers, engineers and other
hands in the employ of the Commonwealth, and
that hereafter said parties be paid monthly, so
long as the appropriations for that purpose may
last.

Ihere are some persons, fortunately constitu

IS a Hving instance. Napoleon was a still more
remarkable example. The great Emperor rare

der1ul success as much TO his capacity to endure
fatigue as TO his genius for he could outworlx
two ordinary men, if not more. Yet, after peri
DDS OF immense and protracted exertion, he wo'd
sleep for nearly day. Bourrienne, his secre-
tary, relates that, after Napoleon returned from
Russia, he slept eighteen hours, without waking.
Very few intellectual men, however, could have
performed Napoleons quantity of work, at anv
time, with so little sleep. Laboring with the
brain is even more exhausting than laboring
with the muscles, and consequently demands as
much repose for purposes of recuperation.
Nevertheless, there are persons with whom
sleep has become disease. They rise late

fact, may be said never to be more than half
awake. Such people kin themselves, in the end.

the victim.
The above from the Philadelphia Ledger is
sensible. The same amount of sleep will rarely
answer for any two persons. It is, therefore,
Un error to fix certain number of hours sleep
as the needful amount in all cases Peculiari-
ties of constitution, as well as the employment
in which a man is engaged, will always make
difference in this matter.
