The nett day, and after the ve-scl had been

that a*'there was ca apiain of u steamboat at the

to do. The witness ami Dr. I’oieher conversed
with lha captain above referred 10, but they could
get from in in no consolation, lie certainly gavu
them (» understand lb,it ha I lie the command,
ha would have managed the vessel very diffrent
ly-
Upon a question pul by one oi the committee,
he aaid he did not think the vessel lit for sea, or
aea worthy, and as to the captains competency,
Ko would only say, his bclmvioi was very strange,
be wea over anxious, apparently lor want of eon
lidenee in hiiuwn skill, mid HU consultation with
his mate was extraordinary; ho seemed lu de
pend on him.
Mr. Thomas Dultorcr, Was on board lUo steam
er Home in New York, on Saturday, the z3d
Sept. 11a looked carefully at the cnginu mid in
conversation with Mr. Hum, the principal engi
neer of the Home, wittier) tomatked that the en
gine looked very well. At the same lime witness
noticed the peculiar form of the deck of the boat,
which was xorponlin'—drooping very inuah at
the bow and stern —asked what was her original
shape—Hunt raid she was originally straight,
but said, lha in her lirsl flip they had put a
Urge quantilV/U'ballast 100 laijforwurd and under
her furwsid cah.n floor, and that in consequence
two of her fore mid uli slay rods, bad broke be
fore she arrived in Charleston, and in conse
quence that the boat bad strained and dropped,
•t the hows. He also said, that after they look
lha ballast out and repaired the slay rods—the
boat had come back considerably to her place.
Witness observed he did not like (lieappearance
of the boat, and should not like to go in tier. His
impression w as, the vessel had been onginally
built 100 weak.
Mi. C. Coles, was a passenger on her first trip
—he felt gtcal diffidence in the vessel—every
one on hoard fell the same—not the pas engera
only, but the teamen, who all seemed alarmed and
dialiustful. On the whole, Mr, Coles' impres
sions weto very unfavoiablu to the boat—so was
the general impression, lor when A Curd, recunis
mending the boat, was proposed, it was so gener
ally rejected, that finally (bo comm nidation was
confined lo the good behavior of the Captain.
Having now spread upon the hoard, the whole
of the evidence, your Committee, acting under
the duly imposed on them, and with no nnwor
thy anxiety to pass the sentence and condemna
tion which auch lostimany calls fir, will now
proceed lu express their opinion on tire two sub
* jects proscribed for their consideration—that is to
•ay :
1. The character of the vessel.
3. The conduct of the Captain.
With the testimony before llieru, they give it
as their most solemn and unbiassed opinion, that
the steam packet, “the Home,’’ was most unfaith
fully built—and never was seaworthy, end that
when she last left the port of Now York, on that
most ill laird destination lo the City ol Charles
ton, she was entirely unfit lor the safe convey
ance of pavscngei*. Seaworthiness of a vessel,
consists not only in the proper structure of the
vessel, but in the competency ut her captain and
crow to navigate her. Doth these requisites wore,
la the opinion of your Committee, wanting. As
to lhg competency of the captain on funner voya
ges, and a< to his general good character at for
mer periods, they cannot affect the issue now
made between him and the world, in reference to
that event which lias given rise lo the inquiry.
Hte ignorance and his rashness shewed themselves
iramedisiely after the vessel 101 l her moorings.
He dismissed the Pilot, and soon after ran his
boat aground on the middle ground. There she
lay, until, by the rive of the tide and the aid of
another pilot, she was got off, aflei a detention
of four tu live hours, it may lie pretended by
those whoso conduct is now arraigned at the bar
of public opinion, that the injury received at ibis
place, miy have created the subsequent defects,
Hal this will only be the desperate effort of con
scious guilt, to inlioduce some plea against tin
final sentence of condemnation, it cannot avail
(hem before an impartial world. The place on
which the vessel grounded, was not oxpoeod lo
any violent action of the waves. The weather
was mild, and every man acquainted with thn lo
cality, wilt be of the opinion, that to a to unit ami
tea v eortho vettrl. that ae. idem should have cau
sed no serious damage. To one already weak
and unfit to contend with any of the accidents of
the element in which sho was placed, some inju
ry may have been occasioned. Such a pretence
would amount to the admission of the fae: of pri
or uiisoaworlhinose, and the knowledge of her
true condition, if known to any, most tu e
linen known to her captain, thu agent of the ow
ners —the man whom they lisd placed in the res
ponsibte ol)i- oof protecting, by bis skill, pru
donee, and care, so many valued and cherished
lives. Here, if any Injury wasieeeived.it became
the captain to return to the pot I, especially, as
from the evidence of one of the witnesses, the
pilot told him he apprehended the approach ol
stormy weather. But lo proceed—Saturday
night and Sunday till noon, lha weather was
propitious ; but in the afternoon of Sunday lha
winds rose and the gsle increased—and during
the night from Sunday to Monday the mcompe
leacy of the Captain and the awful and pencil
tioua insufficiency of ibe frail barque begun lo Iw
developed. The Captain did not take the projier
course in the morning he had got so far west,
aa (n be near a lee ahore, and found it necessary
to haul up to the wind to clear the breakers and
to weather Cape H altera* ; —an ojwrati « very

{•w tiHCa believed to have barn ena M the
j principal canoes of lbs winch ensued-
A little further on his course. In Inves hit vessel

' ale condition of things was tnsdc manifest. The
d I re on 1 ollie. r was obliged toe ill on Cap am Bal

" Ihc Captain, ari-ing out of bis in oxioolion.lo
I direct Ins vessel in that boor of peculiar peril.—
( He was discovered in a condition so unfit lo act

liulo resistance, he \id led thu command of ins
u , J
After this, the vessel remained under the iliarge
of Capl. Salter, as-islcd by Capt. Hill and Mr.
j ' l.ovrg ecu, and was by ibcii judicious exertions,
saved from foundering—until ’lie reached that
metanchuly shore, the grave of so many cherished
J Ives—and n-cr who-o desdalu and now death
( like sai.ds, the moaning winds of the or cun pass
in mournful sympathy with 1 lie sigh* and the
groans of the bereaved parent —the destitute wi
t d iw, sn I the helpless orphan,
j A feeling of charity lo the unfortunate man
vho was one of lit! causes of this catastrophe,
|t would have induced your Committee to rcliain
! Irom a full expose of liis eirors and bis weakness,
* were it not ne cssnry to Iho safely of thousands,
daily exposed to similar dangers, and trusting lo
llto sk II and energy of persons who assume a ich
responsible stations, that they should lie laid tiare,
( Bui your Committee would, by no means, be
( undrrstor.il lo confine their erasure lu tire corn
rnander of (bo vessel. To llto builders an-t
owners of (but vessel, us Ibe highest degree of
I criminality attaches, so will the deepest condom-
nation be ulhxed.
We wHI now recur lo the stale of the vessel
, during the period just passed under review. In
(1 he eo rrse of Sir day night, a.d while the vessel
was laying her course, with the wind on bcrlar
b uird quarter, and therefore in a favorable (iosi
•V lion, the vessr I leaked considerably in her upper
lC seams, so much so, I lint (to nee Ihc words ol Mr.
, | > Hussey who gave in hie evidence with the most
1 scrupulous regard to the fuels,) ‘ the passengers
I* in the upp r lietlh in the after cabin, complained
ol the vessel leaking tlnougb the scams into llicir
berths. The pur-on in ibe berth above him, was
very wel, and the ladies complained of being
® dr nebed with water. Bimilar complaints were
made by pernmi in the forward cabin.
* "In ihc morning, the bout appeared lo boa
* good deal out of order. Her upper works were
1 out of their places—psnnols loose, and doors pait
ling, and inueli of the relling of Ibe male’s and
". other officer's apartments lulling down. Even
I tlit- bow of the boat, as if loosed from the main
0 body, moved tip Bor 111 inches, us she would rise
' upon or full with the wave. And all Ibis, lei it
. he remark ed, before the gulo had reached its
height—in an open sen, Ihe wind upon iho quar
“ ler, and weather in which in the opinion of
’ competent judges, n good, staunch and sea wor
thy vessel would have gone upon her ceur >t
in safely.
’ During Sunday, and until Monday morning,
r Iho vessel passed through (Ito ace .es already des
* crihed, without any addition-,,', Injury, but on the
’ evening of that day,mid u„, ~a r| y , nul 0 f Mon
, 'l«y night, whan r'.o had passed the outer shoals
of 11 alls’. ul-, me crow and passengers were railed
an ’n '’.rservo their life, from the imminent dun
fie( of thu leak, which had increased upon her.
. It was tlieiijihat|(dupl, Hallers took the command,
and upon cxamiriulion, it was found that the wa-
II ter in her hold was such at lo oblige the passen
gera to U'O the exertions described in their tcati
‘ ninny.
* Here eccurs another evidence of unseaworlhi
’ rii-e* in Iho vessel. The common pomps were
1 out of order, and (hut which was connected with
1 Iho Engine was alsoincaphle of being worked—
-1 so that (be very inadequate means nf bailing, by
1 tint use ol buckets wax resorted to. The Irak in
r creased so fust that (lie fire in Ihe furnace became
extinguished, and tluis nil hope of reaching the
land aoeu'ied lo expire also. The jib and square
sail "atthou v/i all la tall eri," were raised—and
’ in this eoiidillv o they leached the place on which
■ the vessel strands'L
' Aflcr blmi struck, i. n r destruction was ns rapid
* us that of Ihe imforUinate crew. Hho went lo
■' pieces, according lo one oi the witnesses, in a
* hull’hour—according to the olti.'rs. in one hour.
But all agree, ilnil the speed of he. dissolution
indicated a weakness and rottenness ol fonstilu
* lion entirely unfit for lire servtie on which she
was sent. Hueh is the evidence in relation tu
J the las', voyage, on which your Committee
have formed the opinion w hielt they have expres
sed.
1 But (ho additional testimony derived fiom
* those who wore passengers in (hat vessel on her
first Hip, carrabora cs all these impressions lu a
1 degree wlneli leaves no room for doubt.
Mr. Mordecai, Mr. Valentino and Mr. Cotes,
testify fully, (is will appear by their evidence,)
1 ‘ lu tltv leakiness of her condition, and the constant
alarm of In r passengers on the first voyage of tins
vessel, and all Ibis in weather which could have
' caused no alarm in a sound vessel and with a
competent officer. Hit this voyage, the vessel
leaked in the most unusual manner, and all things
seemed out of order. Your Committee can and
will dwell no longer on ibis agonizing subject.
They see,and feel ik.ttjiiiany of their fellow cili
xens and fellow men have burn led lo destruction,
by the erimin:il|iiegUcl oftl oso who hid summed
the responsibility, and therefore lay under the
most imperative obligati ms to pro'.act their lives
' by all the means which human prudence rould
provide. On the contrary, they find, that it reck
less indifference lu these responsibilities, and a to
tal disregard of the solemn (rusts they bad as
-1 stinted has characterized Ihc conduct of the own
ers of this ill fated vessel. Woollier they (It lor
did not Jt /iair (hat they were inviting their fellow
men lo (heir destruction, it is neither the province
nor the ineliuat on of your Committee to say —all
that (bey do say, in duty, is, that after all that bus
been made apparent by this examination, the me
ant ought lo have Kitova it, and (bat their ig
noranee, (if it did exist,) was owing lo a gsoss
and palpable neglect of duly, amauiiiing to a
1 high crime against morality and humanity.
Having, lo the best of their ability, discbaiged
the duties assigned lo them, under the first part
of the resolutions, your Committee beg leave to
■ asy, ihui the second part which relates “to ihr en
quiring into the condition of the steam boats now
in the trade,’’ has, in their opinion, been already
executed, by the adoption, in town meeting, of ilia
resolution of Judge Lee, and therefore have no
report lo make on that part of the subject.
A< to the leeonmiendalioiis suitable lo prevent
a continuance of these disasters, the Committee
are obliged to lake further time for consideration
in order that their decision may be such as to
1 aomtspond with the importance of the subject, and
meet iho reasonable expectations of their constit
uents.
All which is vcspcefully submitted.

MIL EORREST'* LEAR.
In his performance ul l.eiii, mi Tuesday night,
■ Mr. Koiro.l achieved one of Ihe greatest Imimphs
of his art. Those who witnessed the persoiialion
and its etfeet upon a ciowded audience, cun no
i longer deny Ins claims to the distinction of a
. great and consummate actor. We trust that we
shall now bear no mure of 'he cam which used
lobe prevalent once among certain c iques, that
I forrvsl was purely a physical actor; that be was
i indebted to his line person, his strong lungs, and
i his exhibitions of a gladialoiisl power and skill
* for bis success. Did wo need any thing lo ron-
I vines us in out high estimation of his intellectual
abilities sitd.histiunic talents, our satisfaction was
i complete after witnessing the beauties of his Lear,
i When we relied that he has risen by the force of
hia own gen us lo the eminences bo now occupies
. that he is indebted for his advancement lo the
* promptings of a bold spirit and ihe attainments
i of a self-disciplined mind—(bat he lias called no
r nun tutor or master in the way of bis profession,
, but relied solely on his " tionesl, independent
I self,”—commanding every where respect for hi<
J private virtues as well a* admiration for hia lair ills
i —wo cannot but regard him as a specimen of the

• that this robust and Herculean projioitions could j i
1 hardly lie reconciled with our idea of ibe inliri.n ,

s 1 d iitmcnl of muscle and of mind to the character
i- ] he wa. d> pi. ling, lie made Ilia physical strength j
c , in trumon'al in ihc portraying of physical infirmi- i
l ly. He wui throughout "every inch a king” in j
• lit* ntpresenlali >n ; and such a king as Hhak- ‘1
' spc.ire ninst havu conceived—-toileting o’er the j
• | verge of dolrige but still greater amid bis luins
I I itian others in their pride—the original haughii- |
r 1 new of Ifi.jspirit and the plituaophieal grandeur
- I nf hi* soul, contrasted with the hclplee-ness Os his
t i situation and the imbeeillily nf old age. When
r Mr. Korrcil came to the passage in the first act
i when Bear exclaims, in his wrath against lus
I unnatural daughter—
-0 ! “ The iinlended wounding* ol a father's cur*e
I Pierce every senae about llteo”
I the genius ol the actor seemed lo have been
. !e Might iu the same Turret which must have hurri- i
1 l ed on the author in bis immonal ta-k, and be
h ' gave Ihe whole ol the imprecation with such ap
, (raling (ffecl, that the audience, after a breathless
pause, broke forth into such peals and shouts oi
|. appr.iba ion as wc never remember lo have beard ;
within Ihc walls ol a theatre. The curtain lull,
„ and the inrriif relations of applause were conlinu- i
i j cd until it rose again for the second act,
„ "There were many other points in the perfor
, mancc, which were no less indicative of the ac
, tor’s powers and his intimate study and appreeia
„ lion of Hlinkspcure. One of the most affecting
|, touches of dumb eloquence, was that, whore,
during the storm, he clings lo Ihe rolics of Edgar,
c n» the latter is hurried away by Gloster. And who
. that heard it, will forget Ihc inimitablu pathos,
,i i with which (be lines commencing,
,f "I am a very foolish, fond old man" —
were uttered? The articulation was as perfect,
as flic action was expressive and true. Through
,| out the whole performance of Lear, Mr. Forrest
~ gave ample assurances that he bad not devoted
q bis Jays and bis nights tn Hhakspcurc, without
. catching a portion of bis inspiration. In the
strict carefulness and fiddly of bis readings, (be '

The fol, ’owing information fiom tho Morning
Herald's city' article of October 4th.ps , f c, nsidcr
ahlo interest Jo the merchanlilo community. It
confirms the byirrions we expressed in July;—
Our commercial money market continues very
easy, and for the present all apprehension upon
the question of tho taking up of the guarantee
notes of the parties '*ho became securities of the
Dank of England direction, on account of their
late advances lo tC® suspended American mercan
tile firms, has been dissipated. It has been stated
that hints were give, t to fho guarantees, nearly a
fortnight past, that if i.‘ " °- ra n « l conveni
ent to redeem tho securities which would fall due
this day that they had gt 10 bank direction
would renew them for three months. In most
instances, if wc are correctly .iofovmed, these
guarantees have been liquidate,.', a*d where it has
been a natter of convenience to re new them, wc
understand that it has been pron'P dy agreed to
on the part of the Dank ofEnglam. 1 . So far, all
this is very satisfactory, since it prove ’ that the
; bank has confidence in the present gt nt **• state
of commercial cicdil, as well as in the g. ia.'antecs
of the firms which have suspended payn.eti 't; it
may be inferred that the directors are also sal's.* l ™
with the steps which the houses alluded to Jiav ."*
taken lo liquidate the claims upon them, and to
this renewed disposition on the part of the bank
to assist them, wo may pretty certainly attribute
tho present easy aspect of the money market; in ‘
fact, tho bank directors could not well adopt any
other course without detriment to their own in
terest, as well as those of the commercial commu
nity in general; notwithstanding, it is still the
opinion of many men of business that they seri
ously committed themselves by taking up those *
firms in the first instance. To let them down
now, without any decided or just motive, wouln 0
only be ading wickedness to a very great excess .j
of imprudence. 1
London, Oct, 9.—Thk Funds.— Saturday. — J
A farther improvement has taken place in the c
value of tho funded debt this week, and the indi- s
cations arc stilt very strong in favor of an addi- i
lional improvement, tho main cause of which is
the abundance of capital, which will he soon *
increased by the payment of the interest on those i
portions of the Drilish securities fixed to ho liqui
dated alter tho 10th inst. The rise this week on
the extreme quotations has been about J to J per
cent, on Consols, and } per cent on the “heavy” J
slocks. The steady advance in tho prices has c
not led to any increased speculation. <
The extreme poices of Consols for money and i
account this week have been 92 and 92} tor the f
former, and 92} and 92 j for the latter, the high
est value having been realized yesterday. A *
| similar improvement has taken place in reduced
I annuities, which have touched 93 for the open- c
j ing, and the new three and-a-half per cents, to C
I par. The demand lor exchequer bills has been
i very steady, and the premium has rallied from J
I 47s to 535. ‘
I The statements in circulation relative to the ~
| produce of the revenue for the quarter, which has „
nearly arrived at its conclusion, arc not favorable; (
but if we are informed correctly, there are no *
grounds lor the assertion that the receipts will 1
show a very heavy deficiency, as compared with 1
the income of the country in the corresponding ,
period of the previous year. When the pros- j
trate condition which trade and commerce have v
been in, is considered, it must ho expected that r
the revenue would be much affected. No stale- 1
1 mcnls upon which full reliance may lie placed 1
; can yet be made of the probable deficiency, as on jj
1 tha first two days of next week very large amounts j

I’he stock of specie has been also farther incrcas- di
;d this week by the receipt from the Drazils of
rather above 320,000 dolla a. Money matters in
ibis city are in a satisfactory slate. Discounts j.,
:an be easily obtained upon negotiable paper, and ni
early in the week after next the quarterly div- Ki
idends will be paid to the public, which, added jtc
lo those due on continental bonds will go far lo , w
produce a glut of unemployed capital, which, in ™
ihe absence of investments in foreign or colonial _
produce, must continue to have a liencficial effect gj
an the public securities. The apprehensions it
which were entertained a few weeks since of c.x- m
tensive speculations in foreign grain, and a con- fc
icqucnt demand of specie for exportation, have cl
ulthogether subsided, and there is at present but c
little doing, either in the new arrivals of coin „

FROM A LIVEVI'OOb CIRCUI.AII OF OCT. 7
Tbe import of all so '>• o( cotton into the king
dom, from the Ist Jaiic’ ar y to R le ultimo, |
amounted lo 1,019,000 ha. '’, against 987,000 re
ceived during ihe first nine months ol 1836, a d
913.000 during the same period in 1835; nod of
Ameriaan cotton the supply was ,'55,900, against
693.000 in 1836, and 681,000 in 1835.
Tho slock of all kinds ol cotton, in tic 9 Ports, aa
estiraatad on ‘he Ist instant, amounted tv* about
383.000 hales, against 322,000 against the same
date last year, ami 311,000 in 1835; and of Ami’ r i
can cotton separately, the stock oppeared to be 190-
000, against 179,0tW in 1836, and 222,000 in 1835.
The receipts ofcolton luring the last 3 months
of 1835, amounted lo 213,000,0 f whicli-72,000 were
from America; the supply from the united States
during this and the next two months, will probably
amount lu 190,000 balcs—which will leave us a
stock of American cot'em qf somewhere about 110,-
000 bales on the 3!st December, ngain*t 90,000 ibe
estimated slock on the 31st Dec. 1836, and 109,000
bales against the same time in 1835. This, should '
it prove to be really correcl, cannot he considered
a very large slock with relereneo lo the consqm p- 11
lion; but in addition lo the probable increase of r
00,000 bales over the stock of last year on this side, *
we apprehend the stock remaining over in Ameri
ca this yoai will lie larger, perhaps decidedly larger,
than for several years past J'whicli, cuupeled with
the promise of a large new crop, must be viewed as |
giving ample assurance ol enough, and more than i
enough, lo meet the consumption of 1838. Assum
ing this lo be so, wc must make up our minds lo low
) y‘V V

f the I resent year hoa tmpres.ed us still ntoie ]t|
troncly with the belief that it will not do to give yi
liv:. re.p l n the face of great abundance It may,
t u i.u j, be argmd, Hint the deranged slate ol A
iiunry maitem in thi* country last spring, was the
ouie of our great decline; that it haJ a share in
iruducing the fall there eannot bo a reasonable
inubt; but wc, at the .sine time, are firm in cur
iclief that the extent of the impoit of cotton early
n the season, with the promise we had ol abiind
mca for the whole year, Would, of itself, without o
my other cause, even had our monetary system
leen in a healthy state* have produced a hail and m
mtnediate effect upon us, and have led the way to
iisestreus results.
Ar present, notwithstanding .the late nnlowaru
tents both here and in the Lulled Stales, wo have
’easonahte ground lo hope for 1110 future. Money [■
ins ogam been plenty for all legitimate purjio.-eis,
md confidence increased. Trade throughout the
ihigdom has improved, and the consumption of col
on perhaps never greater than ot this moment,
vith a fair promise 0 f its continuance for the re- j
minder of the year, and through the next spring; |
md our harvest has been abundant and well secured s ,
—there are so many items in our favor, and which -v
five us assurance of an improved slate of things j
tis proper, however, to remark, that the President's n
nassage, received by the last packet, lias created J
cars in the t>v„ids of some, but which, we hope,suc
ceeding hecounts from America will remote; but
iven arh,rilling this to be the case, we must not lor
jet t’j.i we are only emerging from our lute troubles,
'-nd that the recollection of them must and win act
as a wholesale check upon us, and prevent rambling
for a long lime to come; and however good our trade,
generally speaking, may be, the shipper of cotlon, ,
at high prices, will not, in all probability, he a par
taker of the profits arising out of it. Our prices must .]
always he moderate when thesupply is abundant.
Wo have had another quiet week in Cotlon, and
prices not supported. The trade, having got a good -j
supply, can keep away from us for some weeks Ip
corns: but we doubt whether they will think it |
good lo adopt this course. The ciiief sales in Up
land and Mobile, have been from 61 a 7d, and in
Orleans, from 5i to 7d. Our notions do not show
it; hut the reduction within the lasllmonth, (to sell
in quantity) is nearer a half, than any other figure,
and the inferior qualities were something more
