Incident Of the late voydge Of the Sarah
Sands The steamship Sarah Sands ar
rived at Portland, Maine, on the 9th inst.
from Liverpool. The Portland Advertiser
of the 10Th says:
On the ll,h instant the Sarah Sands
found herself surrounded by ice in the md
die of the Atlantic. Happily sne was not
detained on this account above "a hours
One of the passengers turned the delay to
the best account. Being something OF an
artist he went out upon the ice distance
from the ship and there made sketch OF
her and the surrounding scene-a thing
probably never before accomplished in that
situation. We understand that the sketch
is to be Autographed.

The question you proposed to us
We heartily will answer you;
You hear it not at fancy's shrine
We both respond, yes, thou art mine.
Yes, dearest father we would say
That thou art ours, though far away;
0, how we long to sec thy face
And clasp thee in our fond embrace.
But as we cannot see thee now
When at the throne Of grace we bow
Wen humbly pray the Lord to spare
Your life and keep you in his care
That we may meet again on earth
In the dear land that gave US birth;
o. happy thought what joy t'wolld be
Thy face again on earth to see.
Blu, there's thought that thrills the heart
With joy Though friends are doomed to part ;
That they may one day meet again
Whex free from sorrow, care and pain.
There in that happy land we trust
Wen find the gold that ne'er will rust;
Wen ne'er grow old and nee decay,
But brighter grow from day to day.
Thrice happy thought, lets courage take.
And on our way swift progress make;
That we may gain that happy shore
Where parting hands are known no more.

these ports had been opened below
for the purpose Of marking the speed o'

they ought to have done when the steamer

Interesting Legai Decision. The Su-
preme Court of Indiana has rendered an
interesting decision as to the power OF cor
porations to tax steamboats,. The case
was that the city of New Albany had as
sessed the defendant for his share in
steamboat employed in running on the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and occasion
ally touching at New Albany and when
not running, the boat had been laid up at
points not in New Albany. The Court
held that the rule of law which regards the
situs of personal property as following the
person of the owner ought not to be ap-
piled in questions of taxations; and that
neither the steamboat or share of the de-
fendant was within the city, and, therefore.
not liable to be taxed under the charter

The Ward Trial.
CINclNNATI, MAY 2, ]

Hon John J. Crittenden is suffering severely
in public estimation in consequence Of his vol
untcering to defend the Wards on their recent
trial. A public meeting in Madison, Ind >.
yesterday, passed the following resolution, with
only two dissenting votes
Resolved, That this meeting request the
Board of Directors of the Jefferson County
Agricultural Fair to withdraw their invitation
to Governor Crittenden to deliver the address
at the next Annual Fair of Jefferson county:
the action of Gov Crittenden in the Ward
case, he having volunteered his services, and
prostituted his great talents in an un-orthy
cause, viz, the overriding of public justice.
which has occurred since the invitation was
given, is deemed sufficient excuse, If one is
necessary, for this public withdrawal of that
invitation.
The Kentucky papers are filed with the
proceedings of public meetings held in that
State, by every one of which Mr.. Crittenden
was denounced, and requested to resign his scot
in the U S Senate.
The Ward family have left Louisville, and
the whereabouts Of the murderer is unknown.
TRAGIcAL OCCURRENCE AT NAsHvILEE.
We learn from the Nashville Banner that
the we'll known coffee-house on Market
street, in that city, kept by Mr. James
Longinette, was the theatre OF most dis
.ressing tragedy on the night Of the goth
April. The Banner says:
Between the hours of II and o'clock,
the building was found to be burning-the
flames had not, when discovered, made
great progress, being confined pretty much
within the closed house, which was densely
filled with smoke 1t was with great diff
Guilty that any of the inmates of the house
could be aroused, and those that were,
could scarcely comprehend what was the
matter, being stupifed by the smoke. It
was, however ascertained, that Capt. Chas.
Maids, and two sons CT MIR. Longinette
aged respectfully about IL and years,
were still sleeping in the house, and efforts
were made to rescue them; but aid came
too late, they had already died of sufoca-
ton. 1t is not known how the fire origi-
seems that it commenced under
q fight of steps in the rear of the house,
and this circumstance gives rise to the sus-
picion that it was the work of an incen-
diary Mr.. Longinotte is quiet, unobtru-
sive italian, and generally held in high
esteem by those who know him, and will
have in this serious misfortune their warm
est sympathies. Capt. Maids, maternal
grandfather of the little boys with whom
he perished, served with distinction in the
war of 1912, under General Harrison by
whom he was favorably mentioned, in des-
patches, for his services in perilous enter-
prses. The old soldier was proud of this
token of appreciation of his General, and
frequently called the attention OF his &c
quaintances tc it.
The dead bodies were deposited in the
grave yesterday afternoon, to which they
were escorted by the military lin honor of
Capt Madis,) and by numerous other cit-
izers.
