shore and was rendered a perfect wreck. She seemed to be torn all to flinders as far back as the gentleman's cabin, and her hurricane deck (the whole length) was entirely swept away. The boat immediately began to sink rapidly, and float (with a strong current) down the river, at the same time getting farther from the shore. The Captain was thrown by the explosion entirely into the street, and was picked up dead and dreadfully mangled. Another man was thrown entirely through the roof of one of the neighboring houses, and limbs and fragments "of bodies scattered about the river in heart rending prolusion. Soon as the boat was discovered to be rapidly sinking, the passengers who remained unhurt in the gentlemen's and ladies cabins, became panic struck, and with a fatuity unaccountable, jumped into the river. Being above the ordinary business parts of the city, there were no boats at hand except a few large and unmanageable wood fiats, which were car ried to tne renet ot the sutierers as soon as possible, by the few persons on the siiore. Many were drowned, however, before they could be rescued from a watery grave, and many sunk who were not seen afterwards. We are tolrf that one little boy on shore was seen wringing his hands in gfny, imploring those present, to save his father, mother and three sisters, all of whom were struggling in the water to gain the shore, but whom the poor little fellow had the awful misfortune to see persish, one by one almost within hi3 reach. An infant child, belonging to this family, was picked up alive, floating down the river oh one of the fragments of the hurricane deck. Doctor Wilson Hughey, of the United States, Army, (and brother-in-law to our estimable fellow citizen, W. P. Hughes, of the Pearl Street house,) is doubtless among the slain, as he was known to have been on board, and some pieces of the military coat ha had on, were picked up tmong the fragments. Mr. T. C. Powel, a highly respectaole grocery merchant, of Louisville, and brother-in-law of Mr. Wilson McGrew, ef this city, is also supposed to be lost, as he was on board, and no tidings have lince been heard of him, notwithstanding ;he active inquiries of his friends. We are unable, as yet to particularize my other persons lost, as the boat sunk in about fifteen minutes after the accident, leaving nothing to be seen but her chimleys and a small portion of her upper R'orks, and also as a scene of distress and confusion immediately ensued that altogether baffles description. Most of the sufferers are among the hands of the boat, and steerage passengers. It is supposed that there were about TWO HUNDRED PERSONS on hnanl. of which number onlu from fifiuin seventy five are believed to have escaped, making the estimated loss if lives, about! ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE!'. O, tale of woe! The accident unquestionably occurred

A great many persons are employed in gathering the bodies, freight. tc. Onlv four bodies have to-dav been mangied bodies, altogether, that have been recovered, is ahout twenty, as nearly as has yet been ascertained. A number of persons, several wounded, have been sent to the hospitals, but whose names we have not yet heard. One young man by the name of Edward Sexton, from Connecticut, we saw in a neighboring house dreadfully scalded; but his physician thinks he will certainly get well. The lower deck of the boat is yet entirely under water, and when the boat shall be raised, a very large number of persons, it is expected, will be found. There are no doubt more persons lost than we have stated- We conversed, a while ago, with Mr. Broad well, the Agent of the boat, who says positively, that there were ninety-five deck passengers, wiiose names were entered on the boat's register at Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and other towns on the river above this place, for Louisville, St. Louis and other places below. Here then are one hundred and thirty passengers that must have been on board, ex clusive of the very large number who took passage at this place. The boat was unusually crowded, and Mr. Broadwell thinks the whole number on board, at the time of the accident, cannot be but little (if any) short of three hundred persons'. From the best information we can gather, it docs not appear that more than 30 or 40 of this number are known to be rescued. It is therefore probable, that the whole number drowned or destroyed, is soinerhcrc in the neighborhood of two hundred, or two hundred and thirty or forty persons. It is impossible that any accurate detail of the dead and missing can ever be made, or the precise number ascertained. A very large portion of them were deck passengers, whose humble sphere in life, will preclude the possibility of finding out their names. In addition to those we have already mentioned as having been lost or kilUd, we have ascertained the following: Col. Fowle, U. S. Army, on his way to Florida family resides in Washington city body not found, but several articles known to be his. David James, Loudon county, Virginia he had about his person S3. in cash. John G. Freeman, Middletown, Ohio, had in his pocket book 182. George Glasser, Cincinnati. James Barnet, Rolls county, Missouri. James B. McFarland, Knox county, O. had about him $ 105. Robert Walts, a young man whose father resides in Newport, Ky. We saw the father weeping over the corpse. James Douglas, merchant of Chillicothe, Ohio had 20. Colly Dillon, boat hand. Mr. Burns, a young man. book binder, from Philadelphia his mother was weepins over the body.

Henry Casey, a young man boot m ker, Cincinnati.

B. Mitchell, bar keeper of the boat. These are all the particulars wo have as yet been able to ascertain. The names of several of the dead bodies found, have not yet been discovered. The accident has created a great deal of excitement and distress in the city and the Mayor has issued a proclamaiion calling a public meeting of the citizens at the Council Chamber, this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in order to devise the best means of ascertaining, as near as possible, the number of persons lost, and the extent ol injury in other respects as well as to adopt some plan for burying the dead. from the Louisville Journal. The Explosion of the Oronolio. We mentioned yesterday the bursting

of the boilers of the steamboat Orouoko at Princeton on her way from New Oilcans, and the great destruction of human lite on board of her. We have since received from our friend G. V.'. Jackson, clerk o! the Peru, the annexed statement of some of the circumstances of the distressing occurrence. Mr. J. informs us, that the statement so far as it goes, can be Sully relied on, it having been obtained from 1 or 20 of the passengers of the unfortunate boat, who came up on the Peru. We have conversed with several of she passengers, all of whom declare their inability to give any thing like an adequate idea of the schene of horror: To the L'ditvn of the Louisville Journal. The steamer Oronoko, Captain John Craivford, left New Orleans on Morula , April 10, 1838. On Saturday morning the 2 I st, at about 5 o'clock, having made but two revolutions after leaving Princeton, Miss, she burst one of her boilers, blowing overboird some 15 or 20 persons and severely sen'. ling between 10 and 50 that remained on board. Some ( or 7 of the latter died previous to the departure cf the Peru. Anion" the scalded that were on board, as near as could be acer;.nncd, there were between 20 and 30 white men, chiellv deck passengers, 5 or 0 women, and about the same number of children from the age of 1 to i years that have since died. Among those that went overboard about 4 or 5 were saved. Some few cabin passengers were supposed to be missing. The 2d Engineer was badly scalded. The 2d cook, (a black) who was badly scalded, jumped overboard some time after the explosion and was drowned. The general supposition of a physic. an that was on hoard was, that few would recover, having been scalded inwardly. The Peru remain ed so short a time, that it was impossible to ascertain the names of the scalded or survivors, some having gone hack on the boat which was towed to Vicksburgh, ami some on the Peru and N. Albany, bound up. I he number ot oahin passengers on board the Oronoko at the time as near a could be ascertained, was from 75 to Nil; on deck 00 to 70. including blacks and children. Most of the passengers in the cabin were in lied at the time of the accident, otherwise the loss of lives would havfi been immense. Every effort was made by both passengers and crew, to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate beings, but of little avail. The screams and groans were heart-rending in the extreme; prayers and supplications for water or to put a period to their existence. Many thanks are due Cant. Shrodes of the Pern, Capt. Young of the N. Albany, and Capt. Wheeler of the Independence, for their prompt answer to the calls of distress. May thev never witness a similar scene on their boats. There was also a number of race horses belonging to Col. Oliver and others badly scalded. The following is a list of the surviving cabin passengers on loard the Peru, and also what few could be recollected on other boats: Win. Chapman, Louisiana; James W . Palmer, Poughkeepsie, N. Y; David P. Palmer, do.; C. Va-.sicle, Long Island, do.; Wm. R. Davis, New York: William I). Barrett, Cincinnati, ().; Dr. Saunders, Lexington, Ky.; Wilson K. Shinn, Clurksburgh, Va.; W. P.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. The resolution o He red by Mr. Hopkins of Va. relative to a Divorce of the Government from the newspaper press, has given rise to some animated discussion in the House of Representatives. yesterday Mr. Dromgoole attempted to embarrass the resolution by offering a long winded amendment instructing the Committee to inquire into the why, wherefore, how, &c. &c. respecting the execution of the printing of the House by Messrs Gales L Seaton; and also, to inquire into the ex penses of the Investigating Committee, of the last session; and sundry other matters. When this matter came up to-day, Mr. Wis? referred to the proposal for inquiry

into the expenses of the Investigating Committees, (with which, every body knows he was prominently connected.) and declared his willingness, to have them subjected to the most rigid scrutiny. It would have been better for the party if Mr. Drumgoole had not stirred in this matter; for it gave to Mr. Wise an opportunity to make discoveries not very creditable to the dignity of the administration. One source of the expense of those investigations was the charge which the I'x-

ecutivc officers made for their attendance to give thcur testimony on these doings to the renrcentatives of the people. For i I. example. Here was the Secretary of the Treasury with his 0000 per annum. He charged several dollars for each day's attendance, tnd fif'een cents a day for mileage! for walking from the Department to til- C T e citrks louowea me example of their head. riiev had their re gular per diem and their fifteen cents mileage, although all this while they were pocketing their regular salaries-. Here then, as Mr. Wise truly said, arc are sa ,1 ?.ie flow hie expenditures! the expenses of the ministration. a nd th expense of investigating lis anuses and But let them add all together all these items for the attendance of Government officers to testify to the people as to their deeds; and yet those investigating Committees were worth all the cost. It is too late at this day to say they were useless; w hen the Secretary of the Treasury himself when the Official Organ of the Government, and all the trainbands, are denouncing the league of pet banks more vehemently than ever Mr. Wise or Mr. Peyton assailed them. The party now confirm the charges of those gentlemen. Mr. Wise said he would go for the amendment of Mr. Drumgoole; but he hoped that gentleman and his fiiends would aNo o'wc their support to the proposition of Mr. Shcrrod Williams for a broad investigation of the expenses attending the mal-adiniiiis-tration of years past. That hope is vain. The party arc as Hindi opposed to free and fair investigation as ever. For proof see the vote on the r' solution of Mr. Williams yesterday. The House has not yet disposed of the Cumberland Road Bill. Mr. Underwood's amendment to cede the road to the States through which it runs is still pending. Mr. Clay upon tlic Duelling Eill. When tee bill to prevent duelling, eai.ic up for its final passage in the Senate, Mr. (.'lav made the subjoined observations up on the subject: "Mr. Clay rose and said that he had taken no part thus far in the debate, not that he had fell no interest in the question, but that he thought it better to postpone bis remarks until the Bill came Iroin the committee. No man, said Mr. Clay, could more heartily wish for that state ol public opinion and society which would prevent the practice designed to be prevented by the bill before the Senate. No man, continued Mr. C can be happier than I shall be, if this practice could forever be suppressed, eradicated discountenanced. Mr. Clav said he thought the great ob ject of the bill before the Senate should be to direct itself to the purification and correction of public opinion. It was public opinion which constrained a man in a certain section of the Union from resorting to this mode of resenting insults and injuries; and it was also the same public opinion which in another section of the country exacted from individuals a resort to this practice in order to settle their disputes. In this latter section of the country the omy alternative ottered a man who had been injured or insulted was w hether he would live in ignominy and disgrace, or expose himself to the loss of a life in a personal rencontre, and under this alternative there were but too few ihat felt able to refuse that exposure of human life. When public opinion should be lectnied in this particular, then we mi;;ht expect to see this practice, averse to religion and abhorrent to humaniry, wholly eradicated, hi the mean time it was the duty of the Senate ta do what ii could to bring about that result. Mr. Clay with a view to this end. said he should most cheerfully vote for the Bill, under the hope that if it could not entirely abolish, the practice, it would at h ast diminish it, and aid ultimately in producing such a state of society as would entirely tfiid to destroy it." The Bill was then passed. Judges and Jurors in England. In a commercial case before the Lord Chief Baron, at Westminster Hall, on the l'Jlh of February last, the Judge stated that notice of the dishonor of a bill ol exchange ought to be shown to have been actually delivered to the party sought to be rendered liable the second day alter the dishonor, or at least it ought to be sjiown that the presumption was it reached him on that day. His lordship accordingly directed the jury to find for the defendant on the note in his summing up, when he was interrupted by a juror "My lord, we are of opinion that though the law may be so, yet that the plaintiff ought to recover equitably." Lord Abinger "Possibly that may be, but it is the essence of 'commercial law that it should be regulated bv ceitain strict rules. It al

ways used to be so, and the judge's opinion on a point of law ever used to be conclusive on counsel and juries both. Now however, a system has sprung up of Hinging both law and facts at the head cf a jury, to whom an appeal is lo b3 made in 'jach case against the decision of the judge, and then a feeling such ss that now existing in the minds of the gentlemen of

the jury is created, of judging each case according to the principles of equity, and the facts peculiar ta itself. If such a practice were to be established, there would be an end of law, each case would be governed by its peculiar features, and no one certain ride of law could possibly be maintained Juror 'Then we understand your lordship expressly to direct us, on the law applicable to the point, to find against the plaintiiFin the present instance."' Lord Abinger "Mest decidedly, gentlemen." The jury then gave their verdict according to the learned Chief Baron's direction. 9 " Nupslcou in his Collin. The genuineness of the following statement (says the Ctyfot (,'hronielc,) may bo depended upon. Serjeant Abraham Muliingtou's memorandum concerning the demise of General Bonaparte. "On Sunday, the 0:h of May lt-21, I was bent for while attending divine service, to make a tin colIin for General Napoleon Bonaparte. On Monday, the Tin, 1 wa.; ordered 10 attend at Longwood House, for the purpose of soldering up the body ot General Bonaparte in the tin coffin, which was performed in the following manner, in presence of Generals Bcrtrand and Moutholon, Madame Bcrtrand, the French chaplain, the French surgeon, Mr. A. Haling. Dr. Rushup, II. M., '20th regiment of foot, several of the French domestics, and Samuel Ley, private in the 20th regiment. The body of the late General Napoleon Bonaparte, in full dress, was deposited in a tin colliin, which was lined with white silk and cotton. His cocked hat was laid across his thighs, and on the left breast ot his coat was a gold star and cross, and several other medals of the same metal; several piucos of coin, cf vaiious sizes and different value, were also put in the coliin. His heart was deposited in a vilver urn or tureen, filled with spirits, to which I soldered a lid or cover of the same material, which was placed between the small parts of las legs. His stomach was deposited in a silver mug, in which there was spirits which was also put in the coffin. A silver plate, knife, fork, and spoon, and a silver service cup, were also deposited in the coffin. Previously to placing the body of the general in the coffin, the tin lid of the Collin, being lined with white silk and stuffed with cotton, it was put in its place, and I soldered it on the co'Tin enclosing the kite General Napoleon Bonaparte and all the above mentioned articles.
