The Burning OF The Princess.

FUR HER PARrIcuLARs.-A slip from the
Office of"Fort Adams Item" furnishes the
following particulars of this melancholy af.
fair:
The Princess left the landing this morn
ing about day-break. She had on board, we
hear, a full freight of cotton Cover three thou.
sand bales) which will be total loss, to-
gether with the boat, books, papers, and
money. Those of the passengers who were
fortunate enough tc escape, lost all their ef.
fects on board the ili.fated steamer. The
fire occurred within short distance of this
place. and Immediately she was enveloped
In landing at the plantation Of DR.. Taylor,
about one and half miles below this place,
AND while writing this, the destroying ele.
ment Is still consuming her.
She was tied to the shore, but the ropes
having been consumed by the flames, she is
now drifting down the stream.
FROM the last information. we learn that
two ladies and one child, from the cabin were
lost and three or four males, among whom
was the Engineer; some report that the
whole number lost was ten.
The Cora, at the time OF the commence.
ment OF the conflagration, was LAYING at
Mr. oBryan's wood yard, about two miles
oelow, and soon as possible came to her assis-
lance, and succeeded in saving the lives of
several persons who were on bales of Gotten
adrift in the river. We learn that the fire
originated IN some pine wood laying near the
boilers, and cut of, almost instantaneouslv.
a" communication with, or egress from the
bow OF the boat.
We understand that the boat was only in.
sured tor small part of her value, the bal.
ance will fall upon her owners. This TO.
getner with the loss of the steamer Natchez,
will fall heavily upon the company; thew
were the favorte packets in this trade.
The steamer Louisa arrived at Natcbez IN
Monday morning, and furnished the editor
OF the Courier W tn the names of the persona
lost, as far as 'scertained. They are:-Mrs.
Weise and child, Miss Wilson, George
Brantz, LIST Engineer, one deck hand, an
irishman. one negro belonging to Mr.. Mark
izods, one negro cabin boy, belonging to DR..
l.. T. Blackburn, two negroes belonging to
Capt. Holmes, two negro girls of Stephen
Rouh.
Wounded-John Williams, badly, but NAV
recover. 1t is thought by Capt. Jackson
that eight or ten others were lost, names un.
known. Col. WIN. w. Wood sustained
serious injuries, but there are prospects of
his recovery.

The Consolidation Measure.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-There is much
excitement in the city in anticipation of
the passage of the City Consolidation Bill
by the House of Delegates tomorrow, it
having already received the sanction of
the Senate. The bill is to be fastened
through to prevent the different districts
from adding to the debt, hereafter to be
consolidated, by making subscriptions to
various railroads, and preparing parks,
&c. An amendment ha. been introduced
prohibiting any additional subscriptions
after the passage of the law.
Gov. Bigler has delayed his journey to
Erie to take possession of the Franklin
Railroad, so as to sign the bill immediate
ly on its passage.

1t decides, first, that the Senators, though
less than majority Of the whole Board,

Second, that the Senator's should send up
all vacancies at one time, and that the
House may refuse to go into convention

BALTIMORE. January 29--10 p. NJ
To-day has been quite cold, and the grand
jury being in session, applying its inquisitorial
powers to all the taverns but few places
are open, as heretofore, where persons tout
siders) could go in and get warmed, may
chronicle it as fact, therefore, in the express
sive language of E@- President Van Buren-tha,
their suferings IS intolerable.'' A new
system of informing upon and presenting the
Sunday law violaters has been adopted, which
took goodly number of unsuspecting indi-
viduals by surprise. Many gentlemen, who,
partially from force Of habit, partly from in
clination, and partly because they wanted
q ''horn," patronized their spirit-vending
friends on Sunday. They went in, innocent
and unsuspecting as doves, little dreaming
that the yertex they entered was trap, more
sure than that which springs an unconscious
mouse. The next thing on Monday, was visit
from the Sheriff, with o summons TO appear be-
fore the grand jury. 1t seems, from subsequent
developments. that spies were placed in the
street outside, who made their business to note
down names Of persons entering certain liquor
vending establishments. These names were
handed to the Sheriff, the parties hauled
Sanhedrim, there and then to answer such
questions as might be prOpounded. By
and through the instrumentality Of this
cunning device, large and very respectable
number of witnesses have been procured. The
trap was worse than dead fall, excepting that
it executed without breaking bones. Persons
may have gone into those restaurants with the
very laudable purpose of only taking a few
fried, but upon the adage of the stork
fh1x,
" burnt children dread the fire. so is it likely
that those who have been once caught in thi.
trap will in future keep out of harms way
To-day, l observed, most of the tav.rns had
free unobstructed sidewalks. Their best
friends Stunned them. One gentleman who
had got gently bitten, was heard privately to
soliloauise I'd rather be toad, and feed
upon the vapor Of dungeon, than attempt
hereafter to stay the inner-m man at such hate
full hazard" l give this brief account for
your Baltimore readers, many Of whom are yet
ignorant of the device. They may profit by
the information.
