passengers. Capt: Pendleton, who was in
charge Of the Vanderbilt, chee1fully consent
ed to the request, and in short time the
boats of both steamers were lowered away,
and began tie work of transferring the pas
sengers from the Empire State to the Wander.
bllt with their baggage. The position of the
stranded steamer, which was close to the
shore. prevented the Vanderbilt from ap-
preaching very near her. There was no ex.
eltement among the passengers. and no alarm.
One man lost his hat, and another had his
ancle slightly sprained, which were all the ac.
cidehts that occurred. and the whole were
safely transferred to the Vanderbilt, which
reached the city at half -past twelve o'clock.
No damage could come to the freight, as that
IS all upon the main deck, which is not sub
merged. THERE'S $lOO,OOO insurance on the
Empire State, principally in New York and
Philadelphia.
The State of Maine will take the place Of
the Empire State, and leave New York on
Friday at the usual hour. The Bay State left
New York, Thursday afternoon, on her regu-
lar trip. No steamer of the line left New
York on Wednesday night.

SENATOR CHANDELIERS SPEECH Gen Zacha'
riae Chandler. the successor Of Gen. Cass as sen
stor in Congress from Michigan, shows himself
to be a Republican of the most true and genuine
stamp, and that in his election the State of Mich
igan made great improvement over his dough-
face predecessor. The Washington correspond
ent Of the New York Tribune sketched the lat
ter portion Of Senator Chan lers speech, March
18th. on Kanzas affairs. as follows
"Nr. Chandler proceeded to examine the histo.
~ of the proceedings in Kanzas for the last two
or three years, sharply criticising the course OF
the pro -slavery party, and pointing out the glar-
ing inconsistencies between the positions held and
the opinions pronounced by Gen. Cass and Presi.
dent Buchanan, at no very distant period, with
their posi- ion and doctrines on the Leeomp.
ton question.
Passing on to the Union-ssving plea for the
passage of the Lecomptnn constitution, Mr..
Chandler declared that no more compromises will
ever be submit ted to to save this Union. The
only way to save the Union, and to render it as
pc manent as the everlasting hills, is to restore it
IL foundation upon which the fathers placed it..
and there the Republican party proposes to place
it. The Republican party is the national party,
while the party in opposition to II Is purely sec
t1nal party, that knows no question but the
slavery question.
The government and people of Kanzas are over
whelmipgly opposed to this Lecompton ccnst'u-
ton, and now you going to force constItu-
ton upon people so opposed The govern
ment of the United States has not bayonets
enough to force a constitution upon the necks of
such people It cannot be done
Irespect, exclaimed Mr.. Chandler, the Pres.
dent of the United States so long as he obeys and
stands BY the Constitution of the United States
but let him step one inch beyond that constitu-
ton, let drop of blood flow in Kanzls or any
where else, and James Buchanan. President of
these United States. will be liable to impeach
ment, and be hanged for murder also. James Bu-
cAanan, as long as he STAYS within the constitu-
ton and the laws is to be respected by everybody;
but let him step beyond the constitution and be-
yond the protection OF the laws and he is no

ted States, but James Buchanan, the criminal
If you adopt the Lecompt0n constitution tompr
row, yOn cannot enforce il it will be dead let
ter. Blood may fow-blood will flow if you at
tempt to enforce it-but il cannot be enforced.
Mr.. Chandler concluded his speech by spirit
ed defence of the tree labor and free laborers of
the North from the imputations cast upon them
~ Mr.. Hammond of South Carolina As an in
stance o. the men who are found among the work
ingmen OF the North, he cited Mr. Banks, who

years hence m ght, perchance. be seen worthily

BOLD ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-On Tuesday
evening, 10th inst, between eleven and twelve
O'clock the house of Col. James Brown of
Framingham, was entered by the front door,
and the whole front part of the house, above
and below, and also the cellar, was ransacked.
All the silver ware in the house, and valuable
silk dresses, cloaks. &c, were collected, but
msslep was made, aud a noise was produced
by the falling of some of the silver. One of
the domestos sprang from her bed, gave the
alarm, and the robbers fed, leaving all their
booty except two shawls. The evening was
dark, and it now appears that a man entered
by side door and secured the KEY of the
front door, early in the evening, while the
family were at supper. All the valuables have
been removed from the house to a place of
safety. The boldness of this attempt, at such
an hour. has scarcely been surpassed. Col.
Brown, although seyenty.fve years of age,
was well armed, and had the robbers delayed
one minute longer, he would have given them
desperate fight and perhaps have fatally in
jured them.-BoSton Journal.

CHOICE CATTLE DESTROYED. -. On Tuesday
morning, the large stone barn and stables of
Thomas P. Remington, situated about five miles
from Philadelphia, were destroyed by fire. There
were about seventy head of horned cattle and four
horses in the stables. Fourteen of the cows and
one calf we're saved, and three horses were got
out. All the rest persisted in the flames.
Mr.. Remington's stock of cattle was celebrated
for its excellence. They were short-horned Dur
hams and Attorneys, and were of the very best
description. All the valuable machinery, vehi
Giles, and utensils, and large quantity of hay and
feed, and the buildings in which they were stored,
were destroyed, involving a very heavy loss

henry WARD BEEcHER ON REVEALS 1t is
understood that Mr. Beecher was induced 10
forego his lecture before the library association
of this city, this week. by the representations
of some Of our good people, who feared he
might say something that would tend to dlssi-
pate the religious feeling of this community.
As Mr. Beecher is an orthodox clergyman.
and one OF the most successful, this suggests
a rather equivocal compliment to him. And
is it not mistake in itself to suppose that
attention to the ordinary duties and occupa-
lions Of life is of irreligious tendency. The
established laws Of human nature must not
be lost sight of in our zeal for immediate eff
fects. The mind cannot be held continuously
to one subject without exhaustion, and un-
relieved religious excitement soon burns itself
out. The relief and recreation of lively
lecture or a pleasant concert would fit our
Christian friends for fresh enjoyment of the
prayer meeting. The prayer meeting itself
will soon grow dull if its supporters do moth
ing else but attend upon it-and this from no
fault of themselves or the meeting, but from
a necessity of human nature, which deman DIS
and will have variety Of pursuits adapted to
its various faculties. Springfield Republican.

AN EMPIRE AT THE NoRTH.-A short time
since one of the Canada papers preached the
idea OF a monarch in North America, with a
sovereign from the royal family of England.
Queen Victoria has children enough to sup
ply half the world with kings and queens,
and has great branches of her vast empire
enough to supply each with kingdom, if a
division of the provinces from the narent head
was desirable. This suggestion of the Cana
dian editor was not regarded as a serious mat
ter, though the arstocIatc party of Canada
may contemplate such scheme. At pres
ent they talk only of Union of the provinces,
and that is likely to be consummated to the
great advantage of our northern neighbor.
The Hon, Jas. w. Johnston, Attorney q en-
eral, and Adams G. Archibald, ESQ.,, Com
missioners of Nova Scotia, to London, were
instructed on the 10th of June last to confer
with the imperial government on the subject
of a Union of the British North American
Provinces. They give in a letter to the Pro-
vincia Secretary, under date of February Sth,
the following as the result of their interview
with Mr.. LaOouchere:
"He informed us that her Maiesty's gov
eminent had no desire to interfere with the
determination to which the Colonies them
selves might come on point so Immediately
affecting their own interests and that if they
should be OF opinion that union would adj
vance their prosperity, the government would
oppose no obstacle to their wishes
In pursuance of this intimation Nova SEQ
tia has opened negotiations with the other
provinces. This confederacy will consist of
six provinces and three territories, as follows !:

New YoRK. March lS.-A fearful riot oc.
Cured in the 18th Avenue this forenoon. An
lrshman attempted to jump from one of the
cars Of the Peekskill train, and fell between
the brakes and was crushed to death. The
occurrence, wholly attributable to the de-
ceased's own carelessness, created the most
bitter feeling against the Railroad Company.
Thousands of Irish laborers Immediately gath
cred and all threatened vengeance against the
Company. and the total humiliation of the
track. The 22d Ward police interfered to
quell the disturbance, and were driven off
with stones and brickbats A Geographic
dispatch being sent to the Department office,
Mr.. Carpenter, and force of about two hun
dred policemen, were sent as soon as possible,
to the scene of riot. Before they arrived,
however, the rioters, who had increased to
upwards OF five thousand strong, refused to
let the next train, due at 10 L. O'Clock, pass.
The train was attacked by showers of stones
from the mob and had to back up the road
for some distance. Horses were then brought
and attached to the cars. In this way the cars
were allowed to pass. but when the engine
attempted to come down, it was attacked
most fearfully. The engineer, to save himself,
had to take shelter inside, and let the loco
motive take its course. By the time the II
o'clock train had arrived, the excitement had
somewhat abated.

The DISASTER TO THE EMPIRE STATE The
steamer Empire State, Capt. Brayton, of the
Fall River line, left Fall River on Tuesday
evening shortly after seven o'clock, with a
fair freight and the average number of passen-
gers, Of whom only dozen or fifteen were la.
dies. On passing Newport, a thick fog set

way they proceeded cautiously up the Sound,
when, at ten minutes after five O'Clock on
Wednesday morning, the steamer ran upon a

which is the frs, East of Sands Point on the
Long Island shore, and about thirty live mile
from New York.

she was found to be hard and fast. The wa.

The steamer Vanderbilt, Of tue otoningion
line, was following close in the wnke of The
Empire State, and, hearing the signals from
her steam whistle, was soon within hailing
distance. when Capt, Brayton informed the
captain Of the Vanderbilt that he was ashore
and requested him TO lay by and take oil his
