The Loss OF THE STEAMER lNDEPENDESCE.
"A maratime correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes a severe communication with
regard to the loss of the steamer Independence
of which the editor says
The writer speaks of his own knowledge OF
thd perished vessel. She was not only designed
for river navigation, but was notoriously unsea-
worthy, and unfit TO carry passengers on that
coast; and her captain did not dare to run her
out of reach of the land, for fear some accident
nigh, sink her, with all on board; and it was
the necessity of keeping her near enough to
shore to be able to beach her that ran her upon
the reef which resulted in her destruction Had
she been craft fit to put to sea in, Capt. Simp
son would have followed the ordinary track
with safely; but knowing tha; every arrival in
port was miracle, on whose repetition he could
not rely, he took the course which, in case OF
disaster, would be likely to kill the smallest
number Of people. The result was tie death OF
n third Of those on board.
The inference from these facts is irresistible,
and we make it without circumlocution. 1t Is
that the parties who employed the lndepen
dence for route they know her to be totally
|and alpably unfit for, and who crowded her,
traii and meanaclng as she was, with hve hun
drcd souls, are morally responsible for the
deaths which have occurred. We do not know
who those parties are-whether the proprietors
of the Vanderbilt line, in connection with
which she was running, or persons OF less prom
inence and power, bu: whoever they are, we
say-and public opinion will concur In the ver-
dict-that it would be difficult for reckless Gu
pidity to cover itself with blacker guilt than
theirs.

Mrs. SrowE In GLASGOW Mrs Stowe, the
,uthor of Uncle TOMS Cabin, is making great
stir in Scotland. On the 18th April a great
banquet was held to her honor in the City Hall
Of Glasgow, which was attended by 1900 per.
sons hundreds Of whom had taken their places
an hour before the procee dings commenced.-
Ga. .4dr
Mrs. Stowe is decidedly smart and those who
run after her across the waters, are decidedly
green. She has written fctitiou, tale to make
money out of; she is pursuing exactly the
course to make the most out Of ii; and those
who run after her, are only administering to her
appetite for gain. Her shrewdn.ss consists,
in making her worshipers believe, that what
was intended as an experiment; for private spec
ulaton, is posted to the account of philanthropy.
The authoress herself, is not entirely free from
the charge of being duped. The British are
feas,ing, fatterng and banquettiug her, that
they may advance the cause of American Eman-
cipation and its legitimate TENDENCIES for dsor.
ganizing the government, while she in return,
playing her part with most admirable cute
ness, by way Of nnburdening their pockets of a
ty corrupted and ,oiling millions, whose blood
bones and mussles are as completely subject to
the caprecious will Of their lordly task masters,
as the labor Of the slave is to the Mister in this
country. From present appearances, Mrs
Stowe, is destined TO reap large amount in dol
lars and cents, from her courtly employers
abroad. If this will compensate her for the
draft upon conscience, the additional burdens
of the slave and the risks of a future overthrow
of the government-the only truly Republican
government under the broad canopy Of Heaven
we have only to say, that she is easily satisfi
ed and the less such women America produces,
dangers of domestic revolution and marchy.
