DREADFUL STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION!
GREAT LOSSOF LIFE ! DESTRUCTION
OF THE MARQUETTE!
The New Orleans Picayune of the 24, gives
the following dreadful particulars :
Yesterday aflternoon, about 4 o'clock, a most
culamitous disaster occarred at the steamboat
landing, near the foot of Poydras sireet. At the
time mentioned the steamboat Margnette, Capt.
E. A. Tarpin, while backing out from the wharf
burst her Kuilen with a most terrific explosion,
scattering instantaneous death and destruction
around. The repeort of the explosion was ire
mendous, shaking the very foundations of the
buildings on New Levee for several squores.—
We have not heard of any injury sustained by any
other boat, although several were in the immedi
ate neighborhood of the catastrophe. The Mar
quette, as we are informed, had not made more
lLa_lg one or two revolutions when she blew np.
The scene, as described by those who saw it
immediately afler the frightful aceident, was aw
fully heart-rending. Pieces of the wreck were
thrown, with human bodies, into the air and at
immence distances. The boat was literally blown
to atoms. The hull and upper works, from the
wheel hounses forward, are all gove; and when
we saw the wreck, late last evenming. the after part
of the cabin was floating, the water being waist
deep in the state-rooms We have since learned
that she has been towed across the river
How many lives have been lost by this terrible
accident is not known—indeed it can never be
accurately ascertained, as several who were go
ing as passengers had not registered their nawes,
and it is feared that many of the deck passengers
are lost. The ladies and clildren in the cabin
were all saved and escaped wjury, except a small
girl, who we learn was scalded, bat not mortally.
One dead body was taken from the wreck ; it
was that of a man, name anknown, who had his
legs literully blown away, and was otherwise
mangled. Three other persons died on their way
to the hospitul. Last night there were cighteen
ersoms in the Charity Hospital and one in Dr,
g!one's. taken from the boat. T'hese are all
more or less injured=—ineny of them it is feared
mortally.
Two of the dead bodies will remain exposed
at the watch-lionse yard of the Second Muanicip
ality until 11 o'clock, in order that they many be
recognized, if possible, by their (riends or ae
quaintances., I‘he corener held an inquest on
them last evening.
[ Here follows a long list of names of persons
killed orinjured, the particulars of which are
sickening to contew plate. )
Arrests.—\Ve learn that the U. 3. Marshal ar.

that England will permit Mexico to declare wa.
They say thatit is her interest to keep her ut
peace, and that England has peace or war in the
palm of her hand. A few days inust now decide
the question. Unless England is blindly intent
on war with the United States, and she way think
it the time to strike at us, she will urge upon
her ally to keep the peace.—~Washington Union,

Cold-blooded Murder.—\Welearn by a letter from
Greenville C. H., says the Charleston Mercury,
7th inst., that on Tuesday last a most brutal mur
der was committed in open day, in the: midst of
the villagze, by Dexter Wells on a young man
named Robert Headden, "T'here was an old dif
ference between them, and they had not spoken
to each other for two years, l{cuddcu Joussed by
the printing office wfnere Wells was e mployed,
daily, to and from his business, Wells came ont
unnoticed as he passed on Tuesday, and deliber
ately shot hun twice with a double barrel gun
heavily loaded with bullets, not less than eighteen
of which were lodged in his body. Heacdden sar
vived about 26 hours in greatagony. Wells was
immediately apprehended and lodged in juil,.—
T'he greatest excitement prevails in Greenville in
cousequence of this atrocious act.
The rivers ont westare now experiencing their
anaual rise. At St. Louis on the 26th alt., the
Mississippi was rising very slowly, though yet 10
feet below the lnghest point of lust year. The
Kansus and Little Piatte rivers were very high,
and still rising. The bottom lands along l‘);o Mis
souri were entirely overflown, and much damage
had been sustained. A sudden and heavy rise
had also taken place in the Ohio, from Cineinnau
all the way down T'he Hlinois river was low,—
The wcul";cr in that region has been inclement,
with a counstant succession of rains, and quite
cool for the season.
' Homicide —=Two gentlemen went out recently,
near New Orleons, to huut deer. One of them,
- Mr. Heno, was accidentally shot by his companion
Cwhi'st in the bushes, in mistake for a deer that
Chad been started np. The body of Mr. Heno
~was not scen by his friend at the time he fired
I'hie shot was aimed at the rustling bushes. ‘l'he
Cunfortunate man died in twenty-four hours after
being wounded.
Foolish Hardihood.— A gentleman whose system
st be pretty thoroughly saturated with romance,
says the New:York Courier, ascended yosterduy
to the cap-stone of Trinity church steeple, and,
holding on by the cross just erected there, waved
his bat and handkerchiel to the admiring erowd
below. Some gentlewmen, quite as romantie, per
haps, but more cautions, mounted the ca p-stone
while it was on the ground, so that in att er days
they might boast of the exploit.
The Polynesianof the Bthof February, ‘mentions
the arrival at the Sandwich Islunds of th e French
whaiing ship Angeline, last from the !dalgrove
Islunds., While there, the second wate, doctor
and ten men went ashore, but did not retorn,—
T'he ship lay to off the Island for eight fiays—dur
ing which time, the natives tried to inclnce others
to go ashore. Doubtless they were ki lied by the
natives, or subjested to slavery worse ‘lhan death.

JUDGE STORY'S TOAST ar “DANE"” CEL
EBRATION AT CAMBRIDGE, ON THE 4th INST,
The President then gave:

General Assembly against any citizen of this

was under martial law by virtue of the act of the
General Assembly passed June 25, A, D, 1842,
entitled © An act establishing Murtial law in this
State’” which acts, so done or committed were in
tended to preserve the peace ol this State, or to
aid the people and government thereof ugainst the
’o[ or suspected hostility of nnyfpen_on or per
sons. And all cause and eauses of action for any
such alleged trespass or act done or committed as
uforesaid, shall be extinguished as against any
such person from and slter thirty days from the

‘ tions which have been, or within the perivd afore-
I said, shall have been commenced,
| We have placed Mr. Story’s present opinion
of Rhode Island laws and the 4th section of the
liberation act recently passed by our General As
sembly, in juxtaposition, because they so beaati
fully illastrate each other. The legislature in so
| many words acknowledge that ‘‘causes of action”
~did accrue under martial law in 18425 that tres
| passes were committed and wrongs done to per
-1 sons and property, or in other words that the act
of June 25, 1842, declaring wartial law, was un
? constitutional, and hence the necessity before
| they let Dorr out of prison, of enacting that un
!qus he and all other persons injured prosecute
Cwithin “tiirty days” after the rising of the Gene.
! rol Assembly, their causes of action “shall be ex
| tinguished™ ; und to this Mr. Justice Story says
' Amen, and pronounces such law *“sound,” and
that too within ten days after the act has passed,
‘ and long before the “ thirty days ™ hus expired—
“thereby, like a second Daniel, giving the good
people of Rhode Island, whose rights have been
| trampled upon, whose property has been pillaged
by a Jawless soldiery, and that too under a legis-
I lative acknowledgment of the fact, to understand
"and be informed that he considers such a law
; “sound’”” and constitutional, and thereby warning
| them not to bring uny action before hun, in which
Cits constitutionality might be guestioned. Kind
JJudge! What a world of expense and trouble
| such a decision will save !
; Courts of law have frequently decided, and we
have no doubt such decisions have been sance
i tioned by Justice Story, that ** canses of action”
Cacerning under a particnlar law, cannot be extin
j, guished during the time the limitation act then in
| Jorce permits suils to be brought. Asfor instance,
[ u canse of action nccruing on a note of hand, can
innt be barred in less than six years; in other
' words the holder of the note has six years from
1 its date to prosecute and collect it. Such is now
l' and such was the provision of the limitation act
~of this State in June 1342, An act therefore in
1345 declaring that all holders of notes given in
1842, must prosecute within thirty days after the
rising of the General Assembly that passed it,
“would be clearly unconstitational, null and void.
"l‘hio we believe no ene will deny. Now we
'should like to have the Honorable Joseph Story,
L. L. D, and if he cant do it, Professsor God.
i dard, for he too is Doctor of Laws, to point out
the difference between a ** cause of action” aris.
ing on a note of hand and a cause of action
1 arising on a trespass, assanit and battery, &c.—
The same law which snid in June 1342 a man
~should have six years to collect his note of hand,
“said too that a man should have * four years "’ to
prosecute fortrespass “next after the cause of such
action, and not after.”” Now we say, with all due
deference to Dr Story and Dr, Goddard, that
“caunses of action” aceruing to persons in June
1842, whether upon notes of hand, or trespass,
or imprisonment, &ec., eannot be extinguished
but according to the provisions of the limitation
act us it stood when the canse of action accrued.
All eauses of action, therefore, which accrued for
trespass, imprisonment, &e., in Jone 1842, will
not and can ot be extinguished by any thing our
General Assembly can constitutionally do, until
June 1846, when of course ‘hey will be barred.
We say this however not with any view to delay
bringing suits, with those who have made up their
minds todo s 0; and knowing our Courtsare “‘legal
entities” (1) perhaps delays would be dangerous.
But we cannot see why our legislature shonld
be in such a taking to pass such law as this.—
Mr. Story has already deeided that the act declar
ing mwartial law in June 1842 was a “ proper leg
islative nct,” and therefore it would seem that al
most any atrocity committed under it was lawful;
for surely after justifying the brutal outrages up
on a poor widow in \Warren, no act, not except
ing rape or murder, would be deemed unlawful.
We can see no reason, therefore, why our legis.
latare should be so unwilling to rely on the cor
rectness of his decisions. We will venture to
say that no action of trespass of a more outrage
ons character than the above, will or can be
brought. What then was there to fear? We
can assure them that so long as Algerine Rhode
Island has a Story and a Durfee there is nothing
to fear—not a whit more than Charles 2d had,
when a Jeffries was his Lieutenant. In this coun
try tyranny has nothing to fear when judicial
power is in the hands of parasites. To us there
fore who have been so long accustomed to wit
ness its triumphs in this State, that, verily, this
fourth section betrays a cowardice we nevor
dreamed of. What, pase a law to extinguish a
cause of action growing ont of the martial law in
1242, when there is not an Algerine Judge or
Jury in the world but who would swear that ev~
ery act under that law was justifiable, not even
excepting the stabbing of poor Mehitable How
ard? Nonsense!

the Democratie party should exert themselves to

of the Federal legislature incorporating the State
Bank of Ohlio and other bunking companies ; to
provide eflicient remedies for Ihe people against

There was a supper in the evening, which was
attended by members of both econventions and

with trne democratic spirit, were unanimonsly
adopted, in which due honor wus paid to the
memories of the heroes and sages of the revoln
tion, and of the late departed Jackson; a confi

which was the eleventh regular toast.
Governor Dorr :=A brave man; a patriot
of the revolutionary stamp ! Neither the thr at

ably set forth in his sentiment—so nobly contend

indomitable patriot, so long and magnanimo wosly
suffered. We rejoice that this day, so dea ¢ to
Americans and Democrats, is vot still desecrated
by the incarceration of one ol the most dev: ted
champions of the rights and supremacy of the
people. (9 cheers.)

by Burke and the literary leviathan, Dr. Johnson,

this country and had an extraordinary popularity ;

other works of funcy had not become so common,
as at the present time, and half of the readers of
the facinating pages of Evelina belicved it to be
“an o’er true tale.”” It was written by the young
authoress with such secrecy that her family were
not aware of her undertaking, and the greatest
pleasure she ever received from this early inven

tained a copy at the booksellers, and read it to
his family with rapturous approbation of the un

aud subjoins the following remarks :
“The correspondence of our Charge, will, on
the whole, we think, command a general concur.
rence of the pablic opinion of his country. It is
characterised by great abiluny, clearness and force
of statement. OF course his pledges on behall o
our government and people luve no greater
force than that derived from the anthority of his
personal beliel and hope. ‘Phey prejudge noth

have gone a step or two 100 fur forward in the
expression of his liberal and overflowing feel
ings, and in_ his anxiety to sceure the snccess of
the great ohject of his mission, may be a matter
of sowe difference of opinion. We think it will
bear a severe scrutiny. The main point is that
which relutes to the debt and lands, and in re
gard to these all must be satisfied with the sug
gestion that T'exas should cede her lands ia trust
for the extinguishment of her debt ont of tze pro
ceeds. To pay the debt and take the full ywner
ship of the lands would be simpler, and if the
true amounts of both were ascertained, might be
an excellent bargain for us. In the existnag vu
certainty on both these points, the foruszer is,
}however. the more satisfuctory plan of the two,
and will probably be adopted by our Congress
without opposition. We confess that we tre as
tonished at the faeility of the assent of the people
of ‘T'exas to the terms offered by us; and thie soe
cess of annexation seems to us to have been dan
gerously hazarded by the selection made by our
‘government between the two modes of proced
ure. But success justifies the bold hazard which
it crowns; and since the other party is willing to
surrender every thing 10 ns—'oo forego all chance
of stipulation for her interests, and to give up ev
erything to our own volunteer generosity and
jnstice—it certainly is not for us to find fanlt;
but rather to congratulate onrselves on our sue
cess, at the same mowment that we wmust confess
ourselves surprised at n.”
