■ of the Steamer Nortk*Carolm.
[ r fhr Wilmington Recorder, of the 28lh inst.
■ , 9 vs, “A partial examination of the causes which
I produced the disastrous occurrence, was gone in-
Bfpliy lhe Directors of the Company on Monday.
■ fbe following facts were elicited:—
f ' That the Captains of both boats were asleep,
it being on their watch below, and each boat in
charge of the chief mate.
That the mates were at their proper stations in
t hc wheel-house, the wheel in immediate charge
„f the wheelsmen.
That the boats’ signal lanterns were visible to
each other, at a distance of several miles.
That the Dudley kept her proper course, inten
ding to pass the North-Carolina landward.
That the North-Carolina after she discovered
the Dudley, instead of pursuing her own straight
course, which would have carried the boats past
each other, with an intervening distance of at
least two hundred yards, kept altering her cou-se
a point or two every now and then, until it lay
directly across that of the Dudley’s, and inevita
bly in contact, with the rate of speed they were
both going. As soon as lire danger was apparent
to both, they shut oft'their steam, whereas had
the North-Carolina not done so, she would have
shot past uninjured.
The whole conclusion is, that the accident is
to he attributed to the ignorance or strange fatu
ity of the mate of the North Carolina, in
changing her course. The mate’s name is Mc-
Qcakes.
Obliging osr’s self and ose’s Nkigh
—A subscriber to the Philadelphia Ledger
w ho was daily annoyed by requests for the loan
of his paper, which his kindness prevented him
from refusing, subscribed for a copy of it for his
neighbor borrower,since which he has the uninter
rupted reading of his own paper, which he enjoys
with the delicous feeling of a man who has the
exclusive use of his own breakfast. He thinks
this additional amount of satisfaction will com
pensate him for the expense of paying foi his
neighbor’s paper the year round.
Good sews for the South.—A Yankee
has patented a machine which he calls the Sleep
Kasy, or Musketo Depopulator. These Yankees
beat all ‘nalur’ for invention.
Flying.—Galignani’s Messenger relates that
a Bavarian mechanic, named Interholzer, has in
vented an apparatus for flying, and has proposed
to the Minister of the Interior, to make a public
exhibition of his system in the Champs Elysecs,
m the King’s fete of the Ist of May. He pre
tends (hat he can, with his appa atus, raise him
self to any height he pleases, take any direction
n the air, and lower himself, with more or less
rap dity, at will.
Whether Mr. Interholzer will succeed in his
attempt, remains to be proved. CVe have no
doubt, however, that the thing is possible—and
that before another half century has passed away,
men and women, girls and boys, will make no
thing of a flight of liftecn or twenty miles before
breakfast, for exercise or amusement. —Boston

Powers of the Arab Horsf..—l am tempt
ed to mention to you the feat of an Arab horse,
the properly of a person who has more than once
been mentioned by me in these letters, Aga Bra
ham, and which has not, so far as I know, been
ever doubted. The animal came from Shirauz
to Tehran, 520 miies, in six days; remaining
[there three days, went back in five; remained at
Shirauz nine, and returned again to Tehran in
seven days. This same gentleman told me that
he had once rode another horse of his own from
Tehran to Room, twenty-four fur-sacks, or about
eighty-four miles, between the dawn of a morn
ing near the vernal equinox, and two hours be
fore sunset —that is, in about ten hou; s. i his,
‘loo, is good going; but Aga Braham had always
the best horses in Persia.— Fraser's Tartary

Cotton. —Arrived since the 21st instant, of Lou

North Alabama 5, together 252 bales. Cleared in
;he same time, for Trieste 1214 bales, Havana 159,
New York 142, Boston 958, together 2473 bales ;
making a reduction in stock of 2221 bales, and
leaving on hand, inclusive of all on ship-board not
cleajed on (he 24th inst., a stock of 37,917 bales.
Since our review of Wednesday morning last, in
which we reported operations in C otton to a fair
extent lor this late period of the season, the mar
ket has remained very quiet, and transactions have
been on a limited scale, the daily sales having only
averaged about 350 bales. Buyers, even when
disposed to operate, have been prevented from do
ing so not only on account of the fuli prices which
holders continue to insist upon, but also in conse
quence of the very limited stock on sale, and the
fact of its being principally composed of the infe
rior descriptions, which are in but little request,
the demand, as heretofore, being chiefly restricted
to qualities above middling fair. Another cause,
perhaps, for the present inactivity in the market
| is, that we are just on the eve of receiving advices
from Europe many days later, and most persons
i seem inclined to await their arrival before enter
ing into further engagements. Our previous quo
t ations, it wni be observed, are cont.nued, and we
have again to remark that holders are very linn.
The sales during the week amount to 4100 bales,
and for the last three days to about 1100.

Sugar. — Louisiana —Since our report of Wed
nesday last the business on the Levee has teen on
quite a limited scale. Speculators have taken
some few parcels, and limited sales have been made
to the city trade and for the upper couniry, but we
could learn of no purchases for the Northern mar
kets. Our quotations remain as heretofore—say
40 54 cents; but we remark that none can be
bought at the lowest price, except very inferior,
and tnat some small lots of choice have been scld
considerably above our highest figures, ihe stock
on the Levee is rather large, but it is almost en
tirely in second hands, who hold firmly, and anti
cipate an advance. Wc have heard no sales on
plantation. Fair crops would now command •> cts.,
but the stock in first hands is reduced to a few
hundred hhds., and the holders on speculation de
cline selling at ihis price.
Molasses. —The demand has slightly improved
within the last few days, though it is confined to
limited parcels, and barrels in good condition com
mand IS cents g illon. Some lots in inferior bar
rels can be bought for less. The whole stock is
only a few hundred barrels and tierces. Wc are
advised of a sale of 12,000 gallons on plantation,
seventy-five miles up the coast, at 10 cents gal
lon.
Four. —The market remains about the same as
at the date of our last report, there being onlj a
limited demand, though some few parcels havc
rr n taken for shipment, in addition to the usual
sales for consumption. Among them we notice
4 >0 barrels from store at $4 624 and 600 barrels
fresh, from the Levee, at $4 75. So ne few mail
have 1 ocn made as high as ss,but wc do not
consider ourselves warranted in quoting above $4
75. though a further advance must soon be estab
lished, if (he arrivals continue so very limited
The receipts since our last have been only 1017
barrels, and the stock on hand is now unusually
light.
J aeon. —The receipts continue light, and the
s(o"k of good qua ity Bacon is reduced to a very
limited quantity. The demand, however, is only
for small parcels, which, when in good sound con
dition, command our quotations—say for canvassed
ham- i 0 0 11 cents — do. which are
veiy scarce, (d 94 ; sides 74 (d 8, generally the

6 (d 54 cents.
Lard. We aren t aware of any transactions in
this article beyond the ordinary sales for consump
tion which arc made at 10 (d \ \ cents. The hol
i.eis of prime parcels still demand more than ship
pers are inclined to give.
B hiskey. The market has become dull, with a
very large stock on hand, and we have to notice a
s ight decline in the price of Rectified, which wc
no.v quote at 24 025 cents $>- gallon, the former

in store is hold at higher limits.
Grain We still quote shelled corn, in sacks, at

sale as low as G 5 cts. It was not in prime condi
tion, however. A further supply of same 1100
sacks came in yesterday, but we heard of no sales.

The unparalleled success with which our enter

ertions in the good cause. In order, therefore, to

reduce the price to FIFTY CENTS a copy, or two
copies for ONE DOLLAR.
Those, therefore, who desire to have their names
enrolled on our list should have them here in time.
Let our friends be vigilant and active, and our
success is certain. All the people want is light,
and if wc have a corresponding effort on the part
of the friends of Reform, they shall have light.
