The Central America, Again.

Although the first terrible sensation caused
by the unparalleled catastrophe OF the Ten
trail America" has passed away, the press still
continues TO discuss the of that fearful en-
Iamty These discussions seem to establish, IN
our mind, two propositions Of vast Importance 10
the ea-going and commercial community: /, ana
which no one will deny that the coast navigation
Il more dangerous than upon the broad ocean, =.
that the steamers used in transporting thousands
IF nassaDpers and millions of treasure upon our
coast are not az firm and staunch as those upon the
ocean serviceespecially those of Great Britain all
of which are prepared with water-tight compart-
ments which are absolutely essential 10 security
and can be made at little expense. but WITH which
American steamers are rarely provided.
The Central America, it is still intimated was an
unseaworthy vessel. 1t now appears that the OH
Ger of the T. 5. Navy, by whom she was inspect
ed was the inspector of her engines and not OF the
construction of her hull She had no water-tight
COMMITMENTS carried two hundred more passen-
gers than her complement, and had not hfe-boats

lie should not let such lessons as the loss OF TINS
vessel pass unheeded. They should demand III
shipbuilders every precauton for the safety OF life
They should insist that strength and soiidity, In
stead of tinsel and show should be studied in all
gea-going vessels We are sorry to be compelled to
believe that many of our coast and river steamers
are unsubstantial and insecure: beautiful TO the
eve, and sumptuous in the appliances OF comfort
and even luxury. but not as capable of weatherng
q storm as the oyster schooners at our docks.

A Singular Execution.

We published some days ago an account Of the
execution, under Lynch law, in Pontotoc, Missis
sippi, Of one Gray, for TIL murder of Abernethy
The scene seems to have been one Of those curious
blendngs of the terrible and absurd, the savage
and benevolent, which our highly original West
ern population have no difficulty III eXtemporiZing
at the shortest notice. The populace, being them
selves judge jury, aud executioner, sentence the
prisoner to death, aud lead him forth, with moose
around his neck, to a convenient tree. Being re-
quested to confess his guilt, not of course for the
satisfaction of the wise tribunal, which would not
have sentenced him to die without proof Of his
guilt or criminaiity, he denies that he committed
the murder, whereupon shocked at the depravty
of a wretch who could lie i'll sight of his coffin,
Judge Lynch orders him 10 be immediately hung.
This prompt proceeding appears to have at once
aroused the torpid conscience Of the criminal and
he instantly made clean breast of it, giving all
the particulars Of the murder, and declaring that,
at that moment, he saw he'll burning beneath him
like straw At his request, the brothers OF the
deceased were then brought o. him, assured him
of forgiveness, and both parties exchanged senti-
ments of a very gratifying and credltable charac-
ter After this, military man present, one Mayor
Steele, was called upon to make prayer, to which
call he responded with much elect, and greatly to
the edifcation of the assembled company. The
prayer being ended collection was taken up for
the benefit of the wife and children of the unfor-
tunate gentleman about to suffer the last penalties
and the sum of $3.50 was thus raised. These pious
and benevolent duties having been performed, the
prisoner was attached to the limb of tree and
his animation at once suspended. The whole af.
fair appears TO have passed off in the most hu,
name and even agreeable manner; and the assem-
bly, having devoutly finished their prayers and
ms-gving, separated without the slightest sus
picion that, in the eye of law, they had just com
mitted as clear a deed Of murder as that of Gray
upon Abernethy.

1t ia said that the most interesting contribution
from this country which read at the late meet
ing in Dublin of the =" British Association for the
Advancement of Science was one from Mr.. +
Silver, of Philadelphia, son the Importance Of
Regulating the Speed Of Marine Steam Engines
Mr. Silver referred to the action of the wind upon
q sailing vessel taking effect high above the hull,
and thereby tending to force 1t against and drive
it under, the resisting element.-hence the we'll
known danger of laundering, to which a ship car
rying too much sail is exposed. A sde-wheel
steamer, Mr.. Silver contends. is exposed to the
Fame risk. inasmuch as the fulcrum of power that
moves her is still above the resisting point; but in
the screw propeller the mechanical effect is re-
yersed the application of power being below the
centre of gravity of the body of the ship, has the
obvious effect to drive her TO the greatest summit
Of support. and hence the more rapidly propelled
ship is rushed by the power of the engine over a
rough sea the greater is her safety.
