a Terrible Disaster!
Ferry Boat on FTre-THirty Dead and
Missing.
PHILADELPHIA. March Is,

PHILADELPHIA, March Is.
About half-past nine o'clock tonight
the ferry boat "New Jersey" while
crossing the Delaware to Camden, took
fire in the middle of the stream. There
being great deal of floating ice in the
river, much difficulty was experienced in
managing the vessel, and she was finally
run upon the bar opposite Arch street.
About one hundred passengers were on
board, many Of whom jumped into the
river and were rescued by boats, and 9TH
ers saved themselves by clinging to float
ice. 1t is feared that large number are
drowned. The boat is now burned to
the waters edge. Great confusion pre-
walls, and it is impossible to gather au-
thentic details. 1t is now asserted that
not less than thirty lives have been lost.
The LATEsT.-Three bodies found
altogether-John Little of Camden. F
Fitzpatrick of Philadelphia, and Abra-
ham Jamie. The origin of the fire is
unknown. 1t burst suddenly from the
tire-room, and spread instantly. The
pilot house fell in as the boat was near
ing the wharf, rendering her unmanage-
able from disarrangement of the tilIer-
cables. Her head sheered from the
wharf and the engine could not be STOP
ped, because the engineer was driven
from his post by the flames, and the boat
carried the remaining passengers away
from the land. Number dead and miss.
ing about thirty.

Speech of John P. Hale.

We publish this week such portions Of
Mr.. Hale's speech as we think will be
most interesting to our readers. The
speech is very lengthy, else we should
give It entire. 1t is, we think, one Of the
most mastery efforts he has ever given the
country. Mr.. Hale is a strong man, and
he uses strong arguments, because he
deals in facts and nothing but facts. Had
the North a few more such men as him, she
would not long endure the deep disgrace
which has fallen upon her, by the acts of
her recreant representatives. From his
first appearance in the Senate chamber,
Mr. Hale has ever maintained his integ-
rity and fought manfully for the right, no
matter what were the odds against him.
He has his reward in the affections of his
constituents-scattered over the whole
North, and wherever freedom has a
friend or oppression an opponent.

The New Hampshire Election

The defeat Of the administration in New
Hampshire was far more signal than We
had at first reason to suppose. A larg
opposition loss was anticipated, and fear
were entertained that owing to local ISSUES
the administration party might carry the
State. They had the liquor law, the re.
organization of the Judiciary, and oths
prominent measures of the last Legs2.
ture of which to make party capital, ali
industriously did they use them. o.
the other hand the majority of the opp
sition last year was SO large, and its ea
ments were so incongruous, that a reac
ton might have been reasonably expea
Led in the natural course of events. Th
friends of the administration had 200!
reason for entertaining confident hoDasa
carrying the State, and their disanG1l-
ment at the result is preportionably great
Although the opposition has met With
considerable losses, their majority is SUI
lficiently decied for all practical purpose
They have really swept the State, an.
Democracy is as effectually prostrateds
it was last year. The Concord Statesma
has returns of the votes for Governa
from all but nineteen small towns, whi1
foot up as follows: Metcalf [American
81, 357; Wells (Dem.) 30,472; Cool
win (Whig) 2441. The same town
gave, last year, Metcalf 31,041; Bake
(Dem.) 25,313; Bell (Whig) 1852. }
will be seen that the American vote hi
actually increased this year over las
though not in proportion to the DEM
cratic. Taking the aggregate opposite
vote, there has been loss of only NV
votes, which, considering the distracdr
issues introduced into the campaign
really remarkable.
According to the returns of the State
man the opposition have elected l6j Rep
resentatives against $50 Democrats. la
American candidates for Senator bar
tbeen elected in districts two, three, ir
five, seven, nine, ten, and eleventh
eight Senators. The Democrats ha
elected in the remaining districts-na
four Senators. There being no chas
for Governor by the people, the elecD
will be made by the Legislature on jo0
ballots, and Metcalf will be chosen b ,
very decided majority.
The American candidates orthe Coui
Gil are probably chosen, taking the O0f
ernor vote for the basis Of calculation .
the 1st, Sd, and 4th Districts. The
seems in great doubt, and the Democfa
succeed in the 9th.
The Statesman intimates that false
ports of the election were industrious
circulated from Concord for political
. feet in towns where the elections w
not completed on Tuesday, and iea'
that at Exeter the gun and cartrlas
were kept in readiness for salute IN "
