Sept 24, 1845. 39—St
Unfortunate Family. —A family of
Germans hy the name of Hauptman, con
sisting of five j ersons, an old lady, her two
sous and two daughters-in-law, left Phila
delphia on the 221 ult. to come to fll- Louis
by the way of Ooio. A short time before
reaching Pittsburg, the son a young man
about 20 years of age, fell from the canal
boat during the night and was never after
wards seen. At Pittsburg the disconsolate
mother and the widow of the unfortimaie
young man, together with the boy and the
other young woman, took passage on a
steamboat lor Cincinnati. During the first
night out, the boy, a lad of 10 or 12 years
of age,'fell from a barge which the steam :
er had in tow, and he ioo sunk to rise no
more. Almost overcome with grief, the
ttiree women concluded to continue their
journey, and accordingly, after reaching
Cincinnati,.took pasage on board the steam
er Ohio Mail for this city. It would seem
lint this severe loss would have been suffi
cient under the circumstances to have borne
down the strongest mind, but still the wid
ow’s cup was not full; laboring under the
greatest distress of mind from having lost
her only dependence in old age, and antici
pating what reception would await her in a
land of strangers, she was tor the third time
startled by the cry of someone overboard.
She had barely lime to rush to the side of
the boat and see the agitated waters close
over the head of the third member of tier
family—her daughter-in-law; the next in.
slant she had passed under the w heel house
and the paddle-wheel finished the work.—
This Jast misfortune happened night before
last, when the’boat was opposite Liberty.—
The young woman went lorward of the
cook-house to draw a bucket of water, and,
in attempting to get it on hoard, her leet
slipped and tiie current which filled the
bucket drew her ovetboard. The two
survivors reached here yestciday morning
and we have this statement from them.

SUSCELLAIVY.
[From the Baltimore American.}
THE NAVAL SUPREMACY OF ENGLAND.
From the period of the overthrow of the
naval power of Holland hy Great Britain in
the time of Charles the Second, down to the
war with the United States in 1812, the su
premacy of England on the ocean tvas tacitly
admitted. Be Ruyter and Van Tromp, the
last of tire great Dutch Admirals, close the
list of distinguished naval captains ift Eu
rope, save the names of those who illustrate
‘he maritime annals of England. Cape St.
Vincent and Camperdoun, Copenhagen,
Abouiiir and Trafalgar, recall the signal vic
tories which again and again prostrated each
rising effort ol the Continental powers to
contend against the overwhelming mastery
of British seamanship. The trident came,
at length, to be regarded as the undisputed
properly, the emblem of supremacy, of the
island Queen. ,
With this idea firmly established in the
world, the war of 1812 brolte out between
the Uuited States and Great Britain. It will
not cause much surprise, perhaps, although
the, fact may be new to many, that our Gov
ernment was with the utmost difficulty in
duced to allow our ships of war to go to sea
at the beginning of hostilities, dreading lo
enter into naval contes! with Great Britain.
Our frigates were to be IriU up in the bar
borof Mew York, at which point an attack
was expected, and converted into batteries,
for tlie defence of that city. Mr. C. J. In.
gersoll, in his forthcoming History of the oar
of 1812, gives an interesting detail of the
particulars relating to this subject. We find
extracts from sheets of the work in the New
York Courier.
it appe.ars tfiat immediately upon the de
claration of war, Captains Baiubridge and
j Stewart went to Washington to solicit com
tnands, ami there learned to their infinit sur
prise that the national ships were to be kept
safe in port, instead of being exposed to what
was regarded as unavoidable capture at sec.
The narrative goes on thus :
“Baiubridge and Stewart remonstrated
with ihe Secretary of the Navy against its
suicide, bv the hands ofitsowncommander-in
ciiie'.. The Secretary listened Kindly to their
appeal, but told them that the thing fiad been
settled, on full consideration, in council.
T he fiigates were to be laid up in the harbor
of New York, their guns taken out of one
side, the other side to be so fixed as to be
rendered water batteries, to be manned by
their erews, and commanded by their on n
officers. Stewart ami Bainbridgeexplained
lo the Secretary why they were convinc
ed our ships were superior to Ihe English,
ami would, eight times out often, capture
them in equal combat. They were so ur
gent that the Secretary, unable, indeed not
inclined, to relute their arguments, offered to
lake these gentlemen with him to the Presi
dential mansion, theie to repeat what was
deemed so clear and so important. Mr.
Madison listened with the greatest attention
to all they had to say p candidly and anxious
ly weighed it. Eight times out of ten, sir,
said they, with equal force, we can hardly
fail ; our inen are belter men, better disci
plined; oui midshipmen are not mere boys,
only fit to carry orders, but young men, capa
ble of reflection and action. Our guus are
sighted, which is an improvement ol our own
the English know nothing of. While we
can fire cannon with as sure an aim as mus
ketry oralmost rifles, striking twice out of
three shots, they must lire at random witnout
sight of Iheir object or regard to the undula
tions of the sea, shooting over our heads, sel
dom hulling us, or even hittmg our decks.
We may be captured and probably shall be,
even after taking prizes from them, because
their numbers are so much greaterthan ouis.
But the American flag will never be d.shon
nred.st Idum, if ever, struck lo equal force.
The nation can lose nothing but vessels, and
a few lives dearly sold.
You will give us victories then, you think,
said the President, inclining to their advice.
We do, sit, most confidently, and not upon
irrational premises. Which victories, he
added with animation, will give us ships ;
for with victories Congress Will supply them
faster th<n they can he lost. Such, too, said
he, recurring to the lessons ol ihe Revolu
tion, was ttie case in Ihat war, when, not
withstanding a greater Disparity of force lhan
now, and much greater disparity of nautical
equipments, our officers and men proved
Iheinsehes equal to tlie English. Encour
aged by this reception, Cambridge and Slew
art persevered so strenuously with Air.
Hamilton in another interview wilh him, that
lu lold them the Piesident lied resolved to
hold a cabinet council that evening to consid
er the matter, and they were desired to come
to the Secretary,s residence and wait (here
till lie returned from the council to apprize
them of the result. At a late hour he did sn,
inlorining them that no change had taken
place, but Ihe vessels were lo bo laid up and
used as harbor defences. Mr. Gallatin was
inflexible against sending the ships loses,
wilh all hisjpreponderant influence in the ad
ministration where ho had been accustomed
to rule by Jetterson’s high estimate oflus
abilities for any subjeci, naval, military,
financial, commercial, foreign or domestic ;
and Mr. Gallatin’s mistake was nearly that
of the whole community. The merchants,
almost to a man, labored under absurd im
pressions of Englbh nautical supremacy, per
vading tlie seaports and most of the Atlantic
States, that it was not only in the greater
number of ships and seamen the English
excelled the Americans, but that British
seamen were superior beings, transcending ■
all others, with whom Americans, man to
man, and ship to ship, still less in squadrons
or fleets, would have less chance than the
Dulch, Venetians, Spanish, or French. In
the most popular national song of that day,
whiqh was alwayssung in full chorus althe
repeated celebration of our naval victories,
nqi only the preposterous language, but the
deep-rooted sentiment of the inhabitants of
our seaboard wns, Ihat although the ‘‘sons of
Columbia would never be slaves, while the
earth bears a plant or tho sea rolls its
waves,” yet “the trident of Neptune must
never be hurled to incense the legitimate
powers of the ocean.” Those legitimate
powers by divine right,and that popular prej
udice which is the basis of that right, were
the English mariners, against whom the
judgment of at least the maritime portions of
the United States, ooincithng wi*h that of
Mr, Gallatin, was. that in a (spr undertaken
for the redress of flagrant w*i|K s hy sea, it
would be folly to trust either vessel or a
man there, except in the predatory Md irres
ponsible cruises of private armed veOels.
To such adventures Baiubridge and
Siewart resolved to have recourse, if their
prayer for permission to take public ships
of war to sea should be unheeded. Stewart
had built a privateer called ihe Snapper,
■eventually commanded by Captain Pere
grine Green, and captured as soon as she
cleared rhe Delawme capes. In that pri
’ vaicer, if deuied authority to go forth in fri-

gates, these gentlemen proposed to seek
fortunes on the ocean, serving eachjin rota
tion as captain or first officer. It was not
with them, therefore, matter of merely na
tional chaiacter : nor were iliev mere
youths to be moved entirely by puerile or
unselfish considerations, They wauled for
lune as well as fame, livelihood besides
distinction. If ihe navy was laid up they
saw their occupation gone for all advance
ment and all acquisition. Impelled bv
these strong motives to sturdy muons’ ranee,
persevering, after LhelSecreiary of llie Navy
[ iiad announced to them ihe confirmed ie-
I solve of the Executive to order all tlie ships
of war to be laid up, Captains Bainliridge
| and Siewart occupied most of ihe night in
j composing a joint letter to the President,
j strongly setting forth reasons whv lhut re
solve should be rescinded. That letter lias
been lost, perhaps burnt in the conflagration
of t lie public buildings at Washington, pos
sibly not deemed priper for tlie public eye,
ns it staled advantages of tlie American
Navy, which, though now’ known to and
participated by the English, were then ex
clusively American. Among these were
not only the superior discipline, seaman- j
ship, and ardor of our seamen, burning with j
passion to take vengeance for pression, j
but several material improvements, one of)
which alone proved decisive in the naval j
engageffients of that war.
Their joint composition of that anxious i
night was couched in such plain language, j
that, when presented to tlie Secretary'of j
the Navy next morning,-he objected to it i
as too strong for communication to the j
chief magistrate, and advised them to sos-j
leu its terms: Bui as it was wilh them an
affair us subsistence, involving livelihood as
we.l as reputation, they insisted on ns being j
submitted without alteration. Diffident as
Madison was of bis own judgment nt all
tunes es|ectally w here he was not familiar
wi:h the subject, and having long fell Mr.
Gallatin’s aptitude for almost any subject,
the President was the man of his own ad
ininisliation, nevertheless, most resolved, as
in duty bound, to carry into effect tlie act of
Congress declaring war. Alter, therefore,
candidly,-wisely, and ingenuously weighing
the manly remonstrance against Ids own
delibetate and twice considered determina
tion, he yielded to the wishes of the two
captains, who were told in another inter
view’ the same day by the Secretary ot the
Maty, likewise gratified wilh tlie result
that die President would assume the re
sponsibility of overruling the judgment of
bis cabinet, and ordering the ships io sea.
it cannot be shown tiiat any Older to lay
up the frigates in harbor was given by the
executive: but it is certain that such a de.
termination was formed, and instructions
prepared lor the order which was prevented
mainly by the timely remonstrance of Bain,
bridge and Stewart. To risk tlie ships of
war at sea was more than government
thought wise. And the first capture of an
English by an American frigate, an event
the effect of which was prodigious through
out Europe and America—and may jjave
consequences of still greater magnitude
lhan yet experinc.ed—that capture was
made, if not in bleach of orJers, at least
contrary to the timorous calculations erf the
navy department. If Mr. Hull had not has- 1
lentd to sea and taken the Guerrier before
Ins coumermand reached him at Boston, he
would nut have made the capture, if in
deed any such would ever have been made
at all.
Ttie glotious victories which followed aic
lamiliar to tlie whole country;—they will
never be forgotten. When the Guerrier
went down under the guns ol the Consti
tulion, all Europe, at fitst incredulous, then
exulting, hailed witii joy tins champion of
ihe V\ est, as tho hold assertor of ihe Iree
dom of the seas. From live force of tiiat
blow Englvnd has not yet recovered. It
was an ominous stroke, portending tlie fu
ture downfall of tiiat supremacy with which
she has so long scourged the ocean. The
charm ot her naval invincibility was broken
forever. Anew star beamed forth, its rays
pointing to a glorious culmination, before
whose radiance her own rnut-l “pale inef
fectual fire.”
THE CLOSE OF THE SESSION OF TIIE
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
The following article is from the Examin
er, a very talented London weekly Journal, j
long noted for its consistei cy anil its unde- j
vial mg advocacy ol every measure which ap- j
peats to advance the interests of civil and I
religious liberty ami lo serve the great cause
of human happiness. Our readers, knowing
tiie strong parly bias of the writer, will of
course read what follows with the necessary
allowances ; hut we think they will be pleas
ed with the smart and aiitithentica! style in
which it is couched, and tlie good lemperd
wit with which it abounds. Leigh Hunt,
who is quoted in vvliat follows, formerly edit
ed the Examiner, and it was commenced
nearly forty years ago by lmuand his talent
ed brother, John Hunt.
Who Govedns! —The speech ot Lord
John Ruaeell althe close of the session is
very much what the speech fionri the Throne
might or ought to be. Indeed, in one eense
it may be said to be a speech from the throne
the throne that rules vulgar klng|y ami queen
ly thrones—the throne of sovereign opinion.
During the Melbourne Administration the
boast of the opposition was, that the Whigs
were in office and the Teries in power.—
The ca-e is now reversed with tins material
difference, indeed, that the power of the To
ries over ihe Whigs was merely obstructive
or fruslrative, but the power of the liberals
over the Tories is directive and generative
of important changes. Lord Lyndhurst, in
opposition, at the end of a session could point
triumphantly to a heap of bills thrown out
and made waste paper. Lord J. Russell, in
opposition at tlie end of a session can refer
with satisfaction to the fruits of his principles
in beneficial measures passed by tho aid of
his party. 11 is glory is not in what he has
defeated and destroyed, but in what lie has
originated and helped to bring about. The
victories of Hie l’orv Opposition were at best
barren. The triumphs of the Liberal Oppo
sition are fruitful. They have done more
than restrain their opponents from doing
wiong ; they have corrected their faulty bias,
and impelled litem in the right direction.—
Much, nevertheless, has been amiss, mnch
wauling, much incomplete ; but the satisfac
tory remark is, that in the active good done,
the improved views, the amended hues of
policy, the Liberals can claim their part, in
many instances amounting to paternity. Sir
Robert Peel is the Prime Munster, but Lord
John Russell has an office over him and the
sense of the authority appears io the tone in
which he applauds and admonishes, instructs
and directs the inferior First Minister. It is
also indicated that in the conduct of the lat
ter, who shapes his course so much more for
the satisfaction of the Opposition than for that
of his own patty, of which he is comparative
ly regardless. It is only in the division that
Sir Robert l’eel vouchsafes to cast an eye
to his foliowers—they are merely good to
count in his view ; in debate he studies ihe
Opposition, and delights lo propitiate them
by some partial adoption of their principles,
and to obtain iheir cheers on the expectation
that he is about to reperale yet more widely
from his own party. The metaphor of driv
ing the State coach is a common one, bu’, as
we have onra before observed, Sir Robert
Feel is not ihe driver of the State coach ; he
is merely the driver of the State van,thecar
rier for Russell and Cos. It is his office to
carry what Russell and Cos. have consigned
lo him. He has no more lo do with ihe good
measures he passes lhan Picklord has with
the hales of merchandise he Conveys from
place to place. Tliay don’t belong to hint ;
| they are not of his production; he simply
passes them to their destination- The pro
! blem, however, is, how Sir Robert Peel gets
the Tories to assist him in carrying for the
Liberals: how be geis them to follow him
against all iheir must stubborn prejudices,
| and many of their most important (fancied)
! interest, Hum’s clever description of
; of pigs under the.control of theirdriver is the
I attest representation of this curious cross
grained case:
“I. nt> tiling was their subjection,but ‘more
)in sorrow than in anger.’ They were too far
gone for rage. ‘1 heir case was hopeless.
They did not see why they should proceed,
but they feltthemeehes bound to do so; forced
conglomerated, crowded (inwards, irresisti
jbly impelled by fate and Jenkins. Often
would they have bolted under any oilier mas
ter. They sqtu aked and grunted as in or
|<linarv!; they sidled, they shuffled, they half
[stopped ; they turned an eye to all the little
I outlets of escape; hot in vain. There they
; stuck, (for their very progress was a sort of
j sticking,) charmed into the centre of his
sphere ot action, laying iheir heads together,
j but to no purpose; looking all as it they were
| shrugging their shoulders, and eschewing
the tip end of the w hip of office. Much eyo
[ifad lliey to their left log shrewd backward
glances; now a little auticipative squeak, and
sudden rush of avoidance. It was a super
fluous clutter, and they felt it ; but a pig finds
it more difficult than any oilier animal to ac
commodate himsel to circumstances. Being
out ol ills pale, he is in the highest 6tate <5
wonderment and inaptitude. He is sluggish
obstinate, opininnate and not very social Tha*
no desire ol seeing foreign partsl Think of
bun id a multitude, forced to travel, and
wondering what the devil it is that drives
him! Judge by this of the talents of his
driver.”
1 be pig-driver, too, how ever, in turn has
his master over him, and we must say that
and John Russeii is begmning”io show that
lie will not be satisfied with less than a com
plete obedience and c.omlormity. He tells
Sir Robert Feel that he must be no longer
half V\ hig and half Tory ; that it was worse
than absurd to see the Government falling
neiween the two slods ; that he must make
his choice of coherent principles, adhere and
apply them to their fitting extents. H e warns
Ills Minister that there must bean end of do
ing things by halves, and undoing things by
halves; not doing enough to satisfy one part
of the country, and yet enough to excite the
violent discontent and hostility of the other
moiety. He compliments him most bitterly
on Ins betrayal of Ins followers, and then
shows the discredit and disgrace of not com
pleting it, and all this m a lone of the most
deserved, superiority. But Lord John Rus
sell must not he too hard on the Premier.—
As he is living on borrowed Liberal principles
and has really none ofhis own. be must needs
economise, and make tlie most of them by
dealing them out in small quantities. He
must keep the house open hy paying in six
pences. What has he to do when he has
exhausted tfe capital he stole from the
Whigs! As people in besieged places have
mixed clay wilh flour to make their bread
last the longer, so Sir Robert kneads up To.
ry principles with Liberal toeke out his offi
cial sustenance.
BRITISH PAUPERISM.
According to a writer in Blackwood’s
Magazino, ihe number of paupers in Great “
Britain is 4,U00,000 or one seventh part of
llio entire population of the empire. The
proportion is as follows: In England J,-
800,000; in Ireland 2,300,000; in Scotland
200,000. Since 1815, a period of only thir
ty years, there his been raised for the re
bel of the pour in England alone upwards
of £200,005,000, or about one thousand mil
lion uj dollars. On the other hand, it has
bceu demonstrated, by the returns of the
income tax, that there are seventy thousand
persons in the empire whose annual reve
nue is §2000,000,000, or about £2,300
each. Tots monstrous in equality of hu
man condition, in a country the richest and
most industrious the world has ever seen,
is alarming to (he last degree, and almost
shakes ones faith in divine justice : for its
greatest effect is seen in the prodigious in
crease of immorality and crime. During
die last forty years, crime has increased at
a tenjnld greater rate than population. It la
I obvious mat a state of things so radically
wrong cannot Jong continue. A general
ioveiturn must come, and the world will ex-
I peuetice even a greater shock than was
lelt at the outbreak m France a little more
than tis y years since. What is terrible in
the piciure, is the contrast which it presents
to the eorntemplative spectator. The fore
ground is filled with all that can piease the
eye and captivate the mind; bui behind tljat
is a destiny ot evil, an accumulation of
hideous uhjects, which absolutely appal the
stoutest hearts that beat in human breasts.
The wealth of England is no dream, but a
real, tangible matter; it is no exaggerated
thing, like the accounts whieh we have ia
eastern story of accumulations of coin and
precious stones in the treasury of this or
that ruler —but it is solid, substantial, & an
instrument of real power. On the other
hand is the poverty of the people, a poverty
of so squallid a clicracter, that even the
mendicity of Southern Europe appears hap
piness by comparison with il For, to ap
preciate the entire evils of the case, it must
be eh arly remembered, that while the laz
zaroni are practical philosophers, and al
most literally produce nothing, (be English
poor are many of them the hardest workers
on earth, and those who are idle would
work, could they find employment. Eng
land owes her wealth lo them. They have
dug it from her mines, they have created it
in her factories and workshops, they have
drawn it from the wa'ers of every ocean
“from Zambia to the Line,I’and 1 ’and in its ac
cumulation have perilled every thing that ia
dear lo life. Their reward for alt this is
starvation lo themselves and their children
or the bitter bread of forced charity, grudg
ingly provided hy the hearts as cold as po
lar ice, and dealt out hy hands that would
lain strangle the recipients of the churlish
morsel. YVliat a commentary is this on the
popular dogma, that honest industry ever
meets with its fitting reward! Os old it
was said that he who would not work, nei*
ther should he eat; now, he who works, or
who is willing to work, cannot get food,
except as a pauper.
It is sad to think upon. And it adds to.
the gloom which the contemplation of so
black a.picture excites, when we observe
that we are treading in the same road which
has led the people of England into a vast
quagmire—that we are following the iden-’
tical ignes fatal which have led that great
race to the miry gulf, whose insatiable wants
are stayed not by swallowing up whole em
pires—the terrible Serbonian bog, in which
it would seom are to lie engulfed ‘‘the hopes
of all men in ev-ry nation.”
