Wills we regrat that this tzisl Of Asiatic

and Is likely to be attended with an1hittered
feelings, yet It is plain enough that the Cris-
pins had only themselves to blame for the
precipitation uf this experiment. In tzud Of
freedom they would not bare labor free. They
have assumed to dictate to employers whom
they should engage and what they should pay,
creating sort OF terrorism among Workiog
men which few wcre able to Resist It il not
to be supposed thxt cnerEetio business men
will submit to such injustice and ruinoua in

find remedy. Whether they hare found It

Arrival of the Camilla with the Pas-

Loss of the Venezuela.
NEW YORK, March 3l.-The steam
fruiter Camilla, which arrived here
yesterday, having on board the passen-
gers of the steamship Venezuela, of the
West India and Pacific Steamship Com
pauy of Liverpool, who were transfer
red to the Camilla on the 10th of March,
in latitude 1890 north and longitude
44:l0 west, or about 1000 miles from
New York, and between three or four
hsndred miles to the westward of the
Azores, brings the following particulars
of the disaster:
The Venezuela is fine iron screw
steamer, of l37 tons register, with en-
gnes of goo horse power, is brig rugged,
and plies Oh the line between Liverpool
and Aspinwall, touching at several of
the West India Islands, and at ports on
the Spanish Main. She sailed from
Liverpool on the 5th of March with a
full cargo of general merchandise, 5000
pounds in specie, the mails, thirteen
passengers and crew of forty six per-
sens bound to the West Indies. From
the date of sailing she experienced fresh
gales, but on the 18th she encountered
very heavy weather, which continued
until the 18th, when she broke down
at 81 o'clock in the morning. 1t was
a moderate gale, with u heavy cross sea
running, and without any warning or
shock the rudder dropped off, and at
the same time the stern post broke off,
leaving a large hole in the vessels side.
The water rushed into the after store
room, and in fifteen minutes it was fnll.
Measures were taken at once TO contine
the water in the aft compartment.
On the day following the Camilla hove
in sight and took on board the
passengers. The Captain, all the officers
and thirty-four of the crew OF the Ven
eznala ronnained wlGn tho ohip.
In few hours after the ships parted
company n heavy gale set in and the
Captain of the Camilla fears the Ven
ezuelean could not in her crippled con-
dition weather it. There is strong
feeling among the passengers also that
the Venezuelan did not survive the
gale of the 10th and 18th insts.
