Between the hours of 19 and one O..
clock last night, our citizens were start
led by the the alarm of fire, which pro
ceeded from the packet George Collier,
at the lower packet landing.
Capt. Burdett, who was in command.

" went into the ladies cabin 10 save the
ladies', all of whom were asleep, and
tried to get them out forward but the
flames and smoke drove them back,
leaving them no chance to escape but
by a small fight of steps neal the wafer
closet ut the rear of the boat. By almost
s-uperhuman efforts he succeeded in saw
Ing all OF them and getting them off on
the wharf boat. The male passengers
and a portion of the officers and crew
had to save themselves by jumping of.
some into the river, and others to The
lower deck of the wharf loaf.
The George Collier had landed on The
inside of the magnificent packet Nay

of the latter, and 5000 that steamer was
also enveioped in flames The flames
also extended 10 the bow and cabin of
the fine wharf boat Nary HINT, and in
less than 10 minutes from the first out
break of the flames the three boats were
one mass OF fire, the flames towering
high above he tail chimneys of either

The most mournfui part Of the disas-
ter is the fact that some ten or twelve
human Ives are supposed 10 be losi,

On his Track

a correspondent of the Boston Jour
nGl, writing from New York, tells the
following:
can ncidenttranspired here last week
that has made some talk among the par
ties who have had knowledge Of the mat
Ter. A lady from the State of Maine
came 10 this city last week on her way
to California. She had as arms two re-
volvers and IA bowie knife. The con-
ductor purchased her a ticket in the Cali
fornia steamer and she left in the vessel
OF noon. Her story is this 4 snort
time since her husband obtained possess
sion of all he, wealth, converted all he
could turn into gold, aud then deserted
his family, took a ship and started for
the land of gold, round Cape Horn. But
this is not the worst he took with him
a female not his wife. Injured and mad
dened, the wife has started after her re-
creant lord not from love but from
hate not to recover possession f her
ASCENDING husband, bnt to administer
TO him a deserved chastiSement not to
take him hack, but to shoot him and his
companion. Wind, weather and steam
permitting, the lady will reach Califor
MIA some lime in advance of her abscond-
ing mate. He will no doubt be rather
surprised to meet her ladyship on the
California landing and unless SEA sick
ness shakes the wrath out of her, the
meeting will not be one of the most Goa
iugal that can be imagined"

Movements Of Germans from Texas to

Private letters iron Texas, upon which
The Utmost reliance may be placed. in

settlers in the northwestern part of that
Stale are preparing 10 cross the Rio
Grante and settle in Coahuila, in Mexi-
CO, where the greatest advantages are Of
fered to them by Governor Langburg.
This movement Is spreading extensively
among tie Germans, who inhabit that
part of Texas, Including the counties of
Guadalupe, Bixar, CoDal, Medina and
Gillespie, extending TO the Llano and
San Saba rivers. forming a population
OF between fifteen and twenty thousand
souls. The continual contention between
the Germ II and American settlers, the
opposition of the former to Know Moth
ingi>m, Slavery, and Prohibilory Liquor
Law, are the prime causes of the move
ment. Gov. Langburg, by birth sDane,
was educated at Gottngen, in Germany,
and is a VAIN supporter OF German in

Il is very natural that Mexico should
seek TO strengthen herself, by inviting liz

other hand it is a sad fact that from the

interfering with the Press


The verdict rendered on Saturday last
in the Circuit Court in the case ofDuIch
as Sherman ct al, in which the plaintiff
was AWARDED $4,000 damages, is sug-
gestive of matter for deep and profitable
reflection. The transactions out of
which this action grew, took place some
years ago, and before we came to this
city. We state them briefly and upon
information OF others. Mr. Dutch was
editor and proprietor OF the DAILY Com
merciot Ad0ertiser ; in publishing his
paper he rented certain premises OF some
er all of tie defendants. While absent
from the city, his paper being in charge
of other persons, the defendants for rent
in arrear, disIrained his printing mate
rails, and seizing them, threw or re-
moved them from the building in so
doing they did not pay much regsrd TO
the order in which they performed the
removals (; forms were knocked into pi,
and much damage done, as 10 render
that Office unfit for further use.
On the part OF the plaintiff, it is urged
that the accident OF rent in arrrar was
one which only required a payment to
remedy, and that it was taken advantage
of during is known absence, not for the
purpose of collecting the rent. but 10 &C
compliSh another end, alleged TO be OF
infinitely more importance TO the defend
ants, TO wit-the breaking up Of The es
adjustment and the diScontinuance OF
the AdUertiSer. The plaintiff alleges,
and we suppose offered some roOfto sus-
tain it--lhai the course of his paper was
obnoxious 10 certain political and inan-
cial schemes of tie defendants that his
paper was bold in deuuncialion of what
The editor conceived 10 be great public
wrongs about 10 be committed or &C
tually committed bs the defendants and
that, to remove this thorn in THEN side,
they ~conSpired, as we have said, to deS-
hoy the paper by rendering its material
worthless. The jury on the first trial
gave the plaintiff 81, 500 damages (; the
Supreme Court reversed the judgmen;
upon some points in ruling below and
on this, The second trial, the verdict has
gone up to $4,000.
We think this verdict will have a
wholesome effect ; it will teac.. all men
