THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Prom the New York Eve. Post.
CHEAPNEsS OF HUMAN LIFE IN AMER
ICA,

The uncertainty which cnvelops the fate Of the
Pacific, unfortunately renders the whole subject
of steam navigation at the present moment ono of
intense interests, and although EXTREMITY unwilling
to add to the painful nature Of this interest, by
any doubts of our own, yet we cannot pass by,
without remark, the facts which an investigation
into the causes of steamboat disasters have brought
to light.
The great destruction of property and fearful
loss OF life, within the last few years, from steam
navigation, gave occasion for the passage of the
law of 30th August, 1852, to regulate steaboats,
and tho report of tho operation of this law, pre-
sented to Congress at the present session by
the Secretary Of the Treasury, gives, in a more
authoritative form than we have hitherto pos
sessed, the number of accidents to steamboats,,
and the facts, as far as ascertained, connected
herewith.
This law created a body of inspectors, to be ap.
pointed by the collectors of the respective ports at
which their functions were to be exercised, whose
duty it was to examine, and approve or condemn
every steam.vessel carrying passengers, above one
hundred and fifty tons burden, other than ferry
borts, trading to any port in the United States
From the operations of this law were exempted all
steamers carrying the United States mail to for
oign ports. The annexed table shows the number
Of steamers subject to the law, and those which
are not, for each inspection district, with their ag-
ate tonnage.

LINES COMPOSED IN ERMoN TINE.
Oft beneath thy gentle preaching,
Visions from the dream-land come,
Of pardoned sinners touched and weeping
OF saints no longer deaf and dumb.
My many sins confound me,
begin to fear and quake;
But the sinners, sleeping round me,
Shore so loud that ! awake.
Thou art not q son of thunder,
But thou bringest rest to all;
Soon again 1 sink in %slumber-
Fainter still thy accents fall.
To the weary, ~heavy-laden,
Fall thy words like drops of balm
Sleepy youth and nodding maiden
Bless thy accents soft and calm.
Upper church l dearly love thee,
Though uncushioned is my seat
Holy quiet hovers Ger thee,
Shall l e'er thy equal meet!
Chasing pleasures glitterlng bubble,
Turns to thee my aching breast
Here the wicked cease to trouble,
Here the weary are at rest.

EASTERN PASSAGES.

There has been an immense struggle for speed,
and in this competition, in which the shortest
route across the Atlantic, regardless of its dangers,
was taken, the Collins line has been successful;
but at how great a sacrifice? The wall from the
Arctic has scarce died upon our ears, when we are
forced to prepare ourselves for another disaster,
almost equally distressing. But it is to be OBJ.
served, that neither of the vessels belonging to the
English line have met with an accident. We are
not prepared to say whether this is the result of
chance, or good management; sut we do say that
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1856-04-12

the TACT Itself is worthy of Investigation. In this
matter tho owners of tho steamers themselves, our
Ohambors OF Commerce, Boards Of Underwriters,
Oongresss, and tho public press, have each in their
particular sphere a duty to perform. We hope,
before many more lives are sacrificed in this wav'
they will discharge it.
