Terrible Calamity.

On the 10th inst, a mos, lamentable
disaster occurred ON the Delaware river,
opposite Philadelphia, which resulted in
the death Of some thirty or more persons.
AS the Ferry Boat, New Jersey, was cross
ing the river from Philadelphia to Cam
den, she look fire, and was speedily burnt
to the waters edge. There were from
several accounts, about 100 Pa,sengers-a
number of whom persisted, either by jump
ing fIonsthe boat into the river. or by re-
naming IN the boat, victims TO the lurid
flames The details of the calamity are
truly heart-rending. Some, after lraping
into the water to escape the flames, were
killed BY being struck by the wheel of the
boat. Others remained ON board, until
their clothes were in blaze, and then
sprung into the water, to find watery
grave. Others again, after undergoing
the most intense suffering, in their efforts
to sav~, BY clinging 50 cakes Of ice
benches, pl,nks, &C., were picked up BY
boats sent to their relief. As soon as the
officers Of the Boat discovered the fire,
they made for the wharf and when near
ing j: the pilot house fell IN, rendering
the vessel unmanageable from the disai.
rangement OF the tiiler chains. The head
sheered off from the wharf, and the en-.
CINE could not be stopped, because the
engineer had been driven from his post BY
the flames. BY this sad reverse, hope Of
reaching the wharf was extinguisfled, and
many who were ready to leap on shore
as soon as the Boat gd near enough, now
plunged into the water, either to drown
or 10 be saved by some providcntial means
A Mr.. Ferguson leaped from the Boat
Owed beneath the wheel, came to the
surface, and with desperate energy, made
for the wharf. When short distance from
it, his strength was about failing, but he
was rallied by :he encouraging shouts
from those OH shore, and after tearing bis
finger nails off in catching at the rope:
thrown to him, finally succeeded in Sc
curing one, and was thus dragged 10 the
shore in an exhausted condition. II is
supposed, from the most reliable data, tina,
at ea.t 40 persons petished by the disasa
ter. There were no small boats, or Lille
preselvers attached 10 the vessel, which
has caused much censure. The missing
persons were mostly from Camden g. Phil.
The former place was a scene 81 sadness
on Saturday and Sunday. A number Of
the victims were Iadies-married and
single.

The Banks

The Legislature Of Virginia, after tink-
ering at the Banking system of the State,
and di'charging great deal of gas have
come to the conclusion that its wisdom
could not originate and pass better than
the system now in operation. and have
therefore fe-chartered the old Baahs FOR tn 9
term of six years. from 1st of April, 1857,
according to the provisions and regulation.
OF their old charters. This result was
effected by committee of conference on
the part OF the two branches of the Lssis-
lature, after Intellectual attempts to ACRE.
upon any modification of the old charters.
The committee met on Saturday, and de-
termiued on refreshing all the bills on the
basis of the original House bills, modified
as follows:
The committee propose to extend all
the charters Zoe sir gears, and strike out
the It'll and 9th sections the Tth required
the redemption OF all its branch notes BY
= mother bank at per cent. discount, and
prohibited the mother bank from paying
out by loan or discount any note not re-
deemable in specie at its counter and the
9th required the cashiers to make aud
keep OH their counters weekly statements
Of the condition Of their banks.
The great partition line between the
House and the Senate wal "Shal the
Banks be made to pay out their own
notes?" We think Mr.. Deneale's amend
ment offered in thu Senate some time since,
that i. should be optional with the drawer
of money to take the Banks notes, OF
others, would have beena very just COM
promise. But the Banks have been re-.
chartered. and one very vexatious subject
disposed Of, a. least for this session. The
act re-chariering passed the House by
a vote Of 100 ayes TO 16 noes.

Tho Tax bill.

The Tax Bill was passed on Monday
night in the house o: Delegates. The
taxes generally are doubled. The mer.
chants who, MIR. Stanard said, paid area-
dy sir times as much as other classes, had
theirs doubled too, except OIL sales above
$50, 1000, winch are, we believe, a little
less than formally. Mr.. Stanard made able
speeches in favor Of his motions, first tc
tax the capital instead OF the sales OF mer-
chants, aud then to reduce the tax or
sales to an increase of fifty per cent, in.
stead of one hundred. MIR. Garnett's argu.

The argument which we sometimes
hear urged as an objection TO. the nominal

that the latter drew up the Kansas>Ne-

that they have been instrumental IN crca-

North would cast her electoral vote against
them. While we do no; intend to advocate
