_ The following are the prominent details of the de
_struction of -this British mail steamer by fire, and the
great loss of human life consequent thereupon, some
| Wit of which we have already given: |
- meqiw.mé.nmjmay-, 2d of January,
amid the cheers of assembled thousands who had be&s
nt%‘l::fei ‘to the wharyes to witness her departire. : -
: erything passed off” pleasanily until about 1 o’clock
§nnday morning, when to the horror es those on_
oard, the steamer was found to be on fire. The scene
which ensued on board was one of awful solemnity at.
_first, and afterwards, as it became manifest that the
“flames could not be subdued, of frightful '('onsterna.tion.'{?
The nearest land was the island of Scilly, a hundred
~miles distant, which of course it was impossible to({
reach, and the only chance of life to the passengers:
“and erew was to take to the boats, and this in'a'gale of |
“wind with a heavy sea. : |
The boats of the. Amazon were fitted with iron
cranes or cratches on which ‘their keels rested; these
fittings obstracted their clearance from the ship, and but
for this fatal arrangement the serious Joss of life wouald .
have been lessened. Captain Symends ordered no oné
‘to-get into the boats. This order was obeyed until the
_people saw the flames overpowering the ship. He was
last seen with the man at the wheel, ordering the helm
to be put up, so as to keep the ship before the wind,—
‘His last words were--"1It is all over with her.” The
‘officer of the watch, Mr. Treweeke, (second officer), was
walking the bridge when the accident was discovered.
Mr. Henry Roberts, chief officer, in his shirt only, was
actively assisting the captain ; he was last seen going
through the comparnion down to the main deck, and is
supposed to_have perished ‘there. Mr. Lewis (third
officer), Mr. Goodrich (fourth officer), and the two mid
shipmen, some of whose berths were forward, on the
port side of the main deck, were probably suffocated.
as were also the chiefengineer, Mr. George Angus, and
Mr. Allen, superintending engineer under Mr Seward,
as they were scen in the engine.-room ten minutes be:
fore the fire broke out going forward, there being no
possibility of their return through thé flames. The
second engineer, Mr. William Angus, Wwas on the spar
deck, between the funnel ond the crank gratings, pull
ing oars, and throwing them out of the way of the fire
on the deck, near the boats. The two best boats were
stowed on the top of the sponsons, where the flames
prevented approach. After the, Amazon was put about
she went at the rate of 12 or 13 knoys, dead before the
wind. One boat on the starboard-side. the second cut
ter, was full of people when the wash of the sea un
hooked the foremost tackle; she held on by the stern.
tackle, and her bow falling into the sea, all 'except two.
were drowned in consequence of the ship’sspeed. The
‘pinnace was observed on the pert side, lowering by the
fore tackle, behind the burning ship, and as no one cut
the tow rope the miserable passengers. who were all
huddled tovether, were, oue after the other, washed into
the sea. ~ The mail-boat, which was also_full of people,
having shipped a quantity of water, went down along
side. : ‘
The scene on deck is deseribed as dreadful in the ex
g¢reme. When the flames had approached the after ¢om
‘panion, two mail passengers came up from the saloon,
all in flames and runuing aft, fell on the deck. A tall
lady, supposed to be Mrs. Maclaren, entreated some
some one to take care of her child, but she wounld not
-enter either of the beats. Dineford the quartermaster,
placed one lady passenger in a boat, but she being ex
tremely agitated got out again. and although Henry
Williams and another used some force and begged ‘her
t 0 go in, she persisted in remaining on board. The
Stewardess, Mrs Seott, with her bonnet and shawl on,
and something in her hand, first asked Steer to put her
in the dingy and then left for a larger boat. At the
time of leaving some of those who yet lived were
kneeling on the deck praying to God for merey, while
others, almost in a state of nudity, were ranning about
screaming with horror,
The fury of the element devoured everything before
it, and involved in' the common ruin the lives of one
hundred and nine, out of the aggregate of one hundred
and fifty-five whd composed the crew and passenger
list of the ship.
Thirty-seven of the crew and nine passengers escap
ed in three boats—forty:six in all as far as is known—
and were picked up by an English and a Datch vessel.
Those saved by the latter vessel were landed at Brest
in a most me'ancholy condition. Among them were
2wo ladies and a child, and they had suffered severely
“from exposure in opea boats for many hours alwost in
a state of nudity. i
Of the causes which led to this terrible catastrophe
pothing is yet known with certainty. The ouly con
Jectare that can at present be hazarded is that which
eonncets with the onthreak of the lire the heated state
—of the hearinss All new ships suffer more or less in
the same way until their enzines get into working
giim, and the Amazon was twice stopped in her course
rom this Yery cause. The gale of wind which was
Blowiny, the heavy sea, and the full pressure of steam,
all tendod 20 increase the daunger likely thas to arise,
and the point at which the #.unes were first scen cer
tainly appears to prove that they originated in the en
gine roum. :
The loss of life. the swamping of the boats, and all
the other horrors of ‘this afflicting event are too easily
aceounted for. The position of the fire rendered it
§mpossible to get at the engives in order to stop them
“When the ship’s head was 1o windard the flames §wept
the afterdetks, where the passengers chiefly were —
Before the wind, she was going at a tremendous speed,
and it is marvellous how auny of the boats were launch
ed ander such circamstances. :
The Amagon was a new vessel and had just started
'on her first trip as the pioneer of a new steam mail line
Between Southampton wnd the Isthmus of Panama.
‘She had on board $100.600 in specie, and 500 bottles
of quicksilver, worth $25,000, all of which was lost.
Farar RaiLroan Accipknt —A dreadfal railroad
* accilent occurred at N wton on Tuesddy evening last.
The following account of it is from the Boston Trav
eller:
« At ahout a qaarter before 10 o’clock, as the passen
ger train. approached the station at Newt®h Lower
Palls, it ‘eamne in collision with a sleizh containing
QGeorge W. Shaw and his wife, of Needham, and Miss |
Senter. a young lady of this city. visiting in the family. |
They were thrown under the cars, and Mr. Shaw was
80 injured, that 'he expired on Wednesday moining
about 7 o’clock. Mrs. Shaw has had an arm amputa
ted—the other arm is broken, and she is otherwise se
wverely, if not fatally injured. The young lady fell
under a car; the train was moving so slowly as to go
dess than the length of a car after the collision, and she |
erawled out from under it between the wheels, and,
fortunately, is but slightly injured.
Drs Warren and Maynard were immediately called,
and they accompanied the sufferers tathe residence of
Mr. Shaw in Newton. Mr. Kate, the conductor of the ‘
train. retarned at once to this city with an engine and |
wear, and procured the services of Dr. Bigelow in aid of
the attending physicians. No blame is attached to the
conductor or engineer of the train. The ears were ap
proaching the depot very slowly, anc the bell was ring
ing at the time. The accident was caused by the res
tiveness of the horse. Mr. Shaw had once before had
his arm broken by a railroad accident. He was a com
mission merchant at No. 22 Chatham street, in this
city.
Coxvicrion For Murper. — John Erpenstein, a
German, has been convicted at Newark, N.J., of the.
murder of his wife Frederica, by administering poison
to her in a cake. The convict, who is a German, had
been in this country about two years, his wife remain

__had existed bem%cn "him and ome Doran Miller, to
whom he promised marriage as soon as he could get a
divorce from his wifs. Mrs. Erpenstein, with her two
children, arrived here to join her husband in the latter
part of November, and a few days afterwards died. A
post mortem examination was held,and the body show

Political affairs segm to bein a very unsettled

Legislature was held at San Franciscoon the last
day of Deceniber on the subject of the_seat of Gov
ernment. A letter was read from the Attorney
General, in which he expresses the opinion that
Vallejo is the seat of Government as established by
law. A resolution offered by Mr. Parish, that del
egates elect, then present,should assemble at Val
lejo on the first Mouday in January; was passed by
a large majority. e :
By a decision of the Supreme Court the acting
municipal officers elected in May haye been ousted,
and their successors chosen at an' eléction - held in
September, have been declared duly electedl. Some
of the old officiuls in pursuance of a récommien
dation of the Whig Géneral Committee, have de-.

no frost up to December 12th.
The British Bark Georgiara was wrecked at Queen
Charlotte’s Island,and the crew and twenty-four Amer

Tue ProMeTnevus OvuTrRAGE — This steamer, which
arrived at New York on Friday, with late news from
‘California, brought the following intelligence with re
‘gard to the late outrage committed on her by the Brit
ish war brig Express: S
The Prometheus left at San Juan, U. S.steamer
Saranac and sloop of war Albany. Also the Eng
lish steam frigate Arrogant, sloop Calypso and brig
Express. :
The Arrogant had been despatched by the Brit
ish Admiral of the West India station, to Commo
dore Parker of the U. S. steamer Saranac, to con
vey his assurances that the English Government
entirely disowned the acts of the English Consul’
at San Juan and the Caprain of the British man of
war Express, in the exercise of any authority what
ever in connection with the Mosquito Government,
orin interfering in any way with any foreign com
merce at Sun Juan.
The most friendly feelings existed between the
officers of both countries, and salutes were exchan
gec on the 16th, and an interchange of visits bwfl
tween English officers and Com. Parker had taken
place, during which the English steamer Arrogant
hoisted the American flag at the main, while a sa- 1
{ate was fired by the English sren of war, which
“was retutied by the Albany. |
Assurances were given by Com. Parker that the
whole difficulties relative to the Mosquito question
were in the pro-ess of amicable adjustment, which
will no doubt be satisfactory to all parties.
A SiIeNIIFICANT TEST —At the last Legislative ses
sion, the whole abolition force was drawn into line—
abolitien whigs included—in opposition to the resolw
tions approving of the Compromise and pledging the
State to sustain it. This whole force numbered nine
ty three. Upon the passage of decidedly the most ob
jectionahle measure which went throuch the House
last session—the hill for uniting the Manchester & Law
rence with the Concord railroad corporation—eighteen
of this force were absent. and the remainder voted, fifty
five to twenty, for the biil ! It passed by six majority!
So it was a regular abolition measure after all—carried
by ablolition votes—with a majority of twenty-nine
votes thrown against it hy tlte other parties in the
House. And yet we see the strange spectacle of Abo
-lition motnting the anti‘orporation hobby, and spu¥-
ring it, with its Tong heels, into a full gallep, prepara
tory to the election races.—Coos Dem.
Tue NomiNaTioN o DR MaRrTIN as our standard
bearer in the coming contest. has completely disarmed
‘the federal party, and its political free-soil and abolition
allies. Tt falls upon them like a wet blanket. Itde
nrives them of the-only argamentthey ever used against
democracy. and that 'is the false ery of “Concord Re
gency— Concord Cliqgue— Concord dictation” The indi
viduals they have been wont to associate touether as
constituting the ‘“clique” and ‘regency,” they fully
u~derstand, had no part in the nomination, and that
Dr. Martin was never charged even by themeelves, as
being operated upon or controlled by this imaginary
“clique” or ‘regency.” Thus their mouths are sealed
— Othello’s occupation’s gone 1— Demo Republican.
Nor is this all. The Manchester Democrat, not
many weeks since, admitted in substance, that Dr.
Martin was a very able, honorable. and deserving man.
but declared that he would never get the nomination.
becanse he wasn’t in “favor with the tlique !” He
wasn't subservient enoungh, forsooth, and conld never
overcome the opposition of the “cliques” and especial
ly of the central cligue!” It will be worth while, to
watch a little, and see how our amiable friend, will
flounder our of the “fix” he has thus got himself into.

Frexca SpoLlaTions.—[t seems that Mr. Tuck
has introduced into the House of Representatives a
bill for the payment of claims for French spolia
tions prior to 1801, which, if passed, would take
millions from the Treasury. TEZ‘s'e humbug elaims
have been before Congress at every session, for half
a century, and rejected as often as presented. There
never was a particle of validity in them, from the
beginning, and they never cost the present hold=
ers the first red cent. Should Mr. Tuck succeed
in getting these ctaims through, he will be entitled
to about as much credit, as are the participators in
the Galphin swindle, and not a particle more.—

ing the principal of the claim, to the indefatigable exer
tions of Gen Peasloe; the able and faithfal Representa:
tive from the 2d Distrizt. ~
The Washington correspondent of the Belknap
Guzette, a political opponent, pays Gen. Peaslee the
following just and well-merited compliment, in connec
tion with an allusion to the passage of the above bill :
_ He[Geun. Pjis motonly always at his post in the
House. but ont of the Hounse he devotes most of his
time i 0 qualifying himself to be useful. You will of
course recollect that to him yon are indebted for the
refunding of the expenses incurred by your State, in
the prosecution of the *lndian Stream War.” lam
now glad to add. that a day or two since he stcceeded
in carrying through the House a bill authorizing the
payment of interest on that claim. True he does not
make that amount of “noise and confusion” that some
other members do, but his influence is felt not only
here. but also in the-pockets of his constituents. Gen.
P. and myself are politically opposed, as yon well
know. He is a Democrat=—l am a Whig. In our po
litical notions we shall probably never agree. I am
willing. however, to give a pohtical ‘opponent his due,
especially when he is always as Gen. P. is, glad of the
opportunity to serve his fellow ¢itizens.
