SHOCKING STEAMBOAT DISASTER.

The steamboat Princess, rst-class packet, plying
between New Orleans, New. Carthage and other
places, wss entirely destroyed by fire about o'clock
on the morning of Sunday, the 9Th inst, about two
miles below Fort Adams, on her way from Ncw.Car-
tbsge to New-Oreans. The boat and the cargo are q
total oss. The latter consisted of 3029 bales Of cot
ton So fearfully rapid was the spread of the flames
which originated under the boiler deck, that the pilot
at the wheel had barely time to the boat ashore
and neither officers, passengers could save
any Of their goods The most melancholy part Of this
disaster is that fourteen lives were lost board
These consisted Of the first engineer Geo. Branti the
steersman, Andrew Thomas the second steward,
Tim. Holmes, colored; the cabin boys, Arthur Spen
Ger, coored; and Bill colored; two colored hreuen,
named Bob Holmes and John Riggs, and one white
fireman, named Tim. Conner. Also, the following
passenger: Mrs. Jacob Weis and child Of Red Riv-
er; Mis- Maria Z. Wilson, Of New-Orleans; q small
white boy, from *. Louis, name unknown, and .
negro woman and child, belonging to s. N. Roth.
The steamer Cora happening TO pass rendered Assist
snce in saving those persons who were floating about
The wreck and all the rescued sufferers were furnished
with clothing and other necessies the steamer az
well ar by the neigh boring planters.

THE POWER OF A SHIP CAPTAIN

To The Editor Of The ~ y. Tribune
SIR: The many lives sacrificed by the desertion of
the crew Of the Arctic her last and fatal voyage,
naturally leads to the question whether the con-
msnder Of vessel lin the hour Of danger is empow-
cred by law to enforce obedience the part of his
crew. viii you please inform the community inter-
ested to what extent commander may proceed in
enforcing obedience according to existing laws : If
sufficient authority be not vested in commander for
such occasions as above, should not some enactment
be made granting power sufficient for such emer-
peucies1 }. N. G.

CRICKET.

NETWORK We. PHILADELPHIA CLUBS.
This match has now been playing two days, at H)-
bokeD, and not finished yet; to-day they commenced
again at 10 o'clock precisely. The foreign news
crowded out our report of the first days play when
the PhadepbisDs got the large of l5s; in the
second they got 90, making total of 25i, against
which the New-Yorkers have got in one innings lls,
leaving 1876 for them TO get 10 tie. The
pretty large all round. The weather both days was
very biter-toO cold for crcket-which prevented
as large an attendance of visitors as usual.
The Philadelphia Club are fine set of men and
good crckeers, especially with the bat their field
ing and bowling is not SO good as New York. They
must pay more attention TO their captain Of the field.
Bradshaw was in 81 hours the first day, for 81 runs;
he play ed beautifully. Senior AID Wildly CAPT
tai Ilayers--the latter made come first rate his.
Crossley is very useful man; he both bats and
bowls well and considering they have professional
man among them, they are as pretty eleven as have
come on here
The New. York Club are rather weak in their
elevens-hey ought TO have had stronger team. Cas-
tie batied well and made az Hgham did the same;
Sharp got lis little 7, while Cuyp, Richards aud Wood.
ward managed to go out with round 0. Cuyp and
Marsh did not bowl anything well the first day
a. they did yesterday. The fielding generally was
low, excepting two or three-among them Fletcher,
who picks up ball beautiful The byes in the 6rst
innings were principally got before Fletcher arrived.

drifting about the ocean.
ras UP nearly all night myself and had men at
royk frfry hour day and night, 10 make some neces-
sary repairs and to take in coa but such is the want
Of facilities here that the Victoria did otget OIL until
10 O clock yesterday.
with the friends and the public in NeT-York to
understand that the steamer Cleopatra, in the en-
ploy ment Of the British Government, with regi-
ment of troops on board was lying at anchor with
collier aloDl side at the time arrived in the Victoria,
and tbe the CleopsTa could have been sent to sea
in two hours but The Governor and the master OF her
both refused to take the responsibility OF sending her
on the erraDd Of mercy.
II was said also, that the consignee of the Merlin
had offered TO send her back Immediately with the
mails, and to look for the AIctcs passengers on her
voyage to Halifax; this has proved untrue, as she is
now in port, laying her full time
When called upon by Mr. Newman, the American
Consul l offered TO dispatch the Victoria with any
person or persons he might wish to put on board TO
advise The captain in the search for the wrecked ones
a. the rate Of $500 per day and TO take bis official
draft on the Department at Washington. dc seemed
slow TO do that and said he had, or could have
guarantee from the Government here for his out
lay. ] then offered TO take his bill, with good en-
dorser payable here in thirty days. Alter keeping
me in suspense, and having had four interviews with
the Consul u TOS toD tdtc ~ 40 Ny
rood and that he declined 10 make any engagement.
then had an interview with some members of the
House of Assembly, who signed paper pledging the
House to pay any outlay the Governor in the mat.
YER the Governor would do nothing unless the United
States Consul would give him lien ON the Govern
ment at Washington. This Newman would not do;
and the gentlemen who had it in hand, Messrs Little
and Shea told me il was in vain TO expect anything
from that quarter. &,
Meantfwe, 1 had my preparations all made, and
steam rp. detained the Victoria Is minutes for the
last answ or from Government, cast Of the se r ny
oscn hand and sent her pk mingled feelings Of hope
