TREMENDOUS STORM AT SEA The following singularly interesting narrative H communicated to the Liverpool Commercial Chronicle of May 12. , • < Ship New- York, Prince's Duck, Liverpool, < ‘ MAY 11, 1827 J <: Sir—T trust that, although a stranger, I shall bnd a sufficient apology, in the very uncommon nature ofthe occurrences herein described, for troubling you with «h- detail of the following par- icular This ship has been ' tningon her present voyage from New-York. On the f 9 th of April, our third day out on the Gulf Stream, (la*. 389 N. long. Cl 17 W. at noon) about half past five in the morning .being, in our births, we were roused by a sound like tha report of heavy cannon close to our ears. In a moment we were all out, and the cabin and all D'irts of the shin were filled with a dense smoke, bavin"' a strong smell of snlphur. From the deck the word was quickly passed that the ship had been struck with lightning, and was on fire. The consternation which for some minutes prevailed ,nav be more«asilv imagined than described.— Every one ran at iny watch, which marks seconds. I counted four when the report followed ; 1 felt no alarm, however, having frequently known it to approach nearer without any injury. At 2 o’clock we were astonished by another shock like that in the morning ; the flash and sound simultaneous. 1 happened to be in the cabin with another passen ger ; a bail of fire seemed to dart down before us ; at the same moment the glass in the round house came rattling down below. Those on deck agreed that the whole ship appeared to be in a blaze, from the vividness ofthe principal flash, which they distinctly saw darting down the con ductor. and agitating the water. All parts of the ship, as before, were filled with smoke, smelling of sulphur. “The ship was again thorughly examined.- l.„ ---1- -■ .1.-0 1. . - -1 1 -‘ s " by on deck with a full impression that the ship was in ablaze There all the ele ments were in violent commotion. It had been broad day, hut so dark, so dense, and so close upon us were the clouds, as to produce almost the obscurity of night. There was just sufficient light to give a bold relief to cveiv object in the appalling scene. The rain poured down in tor rents, mingled with hailstones ns large as fil berts, which lay upon the deck fully an inch thick! Overhead blazed the lightning on all sides, accompanied by reports almost simultane ously. thus evincing its nearness. The sen ran mountain high, and the ship was tossed from one sea to another with incredible rapidity. One apncarance was peculiarly remarkable. The temperature of the water was at 74 legs, of Eo- bfenheit. while that of the atmosphere was down to 48. This produced a copious evaporation and caused immense, clouds of vapour to rise which ascending in columns all around us, exhi bited the appearance of innumerable pillars sup porting a massive canopy of clouds. These phe nomena are extremely unusual, no person on board, ever having witnessed any thing like it be fore. In all directions might be seen waterspouts which,rising fearfully to the clouds, seemed ae- tuallv to present to the ev" a combination of. all the elements for the destruction of every-thing on the face of (he deep. Altogether the scene was one of awful sublimity which baffles description Amid fhis scene impending ruin when all nature was in the utmost confusion—when nautical sci- the ship seemed on the verge of fate; when, in short, dismay and despair were reflected from ev ery otiicr countenance—nothing could exceed the calm tranquillity of CaptoWBennott nothing could excel the firmness with Which every order was given, for the ship, in prospect of meeting fiye below deck, nothing could equal the manner in which every one was cnemtr,aged with the hope of security, even beyond what in reason could be expected—thus I but echo the sentiments of all on board. “ But 1 hasten to nty narrative. Some parts ofthe ship and spars were for a moment on fire, but were quickly extinguished bv the rain. The Sh-p was then, thorughly. examined to ascer tain whether the electric fluid had penetrated n- inong the combustible part ofthe cargo below the lower deck, This investigation disclosed the fn! lowing facts. The lightning, having •struck the inain-roval-mast head, shattered the mast . head, and, descending thence penetrated the deck in to one of the storerooms,.the Bulkheads and fit tings of which are completely demolished. Then separating, one nnrt was conducted bv a leaden tube »o the side in the ship, through which h pass ed out between wind and water, starting the ends of three five inch planks. Another portion from the store-room passing into the ladies ‘cabin, shi vered to atoms the plate of a large mirror, leav ing the frame uninjured. From the looking-glass to the piano-forte was an.easy transition; it touched the instrument with no delieate impulse dismounting it and leaving it out of tune. Thence it passed through the whole length of the after- cabin and out at the stern w ndows. Fortunate ly W e were all ill our births at the moment. Up on these facts I would venture briefly to remark, that the mast-head was bound bv four iron hoops, snv from *wo to three inches wide, and nearly half an inch thick. These attracting the fluid and being themselves insulated bv other less now- erful conductors would naturally at the instant accumulate a large repletion of the fluid, which, bv the violence of its action, burst the hoops asunder, and shattered the mast-head and cap. charge, and scattered to the Xvinds; small frag ments of it were found on deck; in saving the ship it had literally yielded itself to the fury of the blast. The pointed rod was found to be fused and shortened several inches, and covered over with a dark coating; some of the links had been snapped off and others melted- The whole oper ation was singularly striking, and affords another of those rare cases where the conductor yielded to the violence of the shock, while it effectually averted the bolt from the object it was designed to protect. “ his was a property of the rod, of which F> anklin was satisfied very early after the appli cation of a theory, that has disarmed the light ning of heaven. One of the-arliest cases which fell uuderhis notice, I believe, occurred in one of the Dutch churches in New York—a chain com- nected with the clock probably saved the church much damage, but the chain itself was melted. “ Mr. Ross, the second officer, was prostrated and three of the men struck, but none much inju red. It affected the polaritv of all the compasses causing them to vary from the true point and be tween each other. They gradually assumed a bearing by which we have stem-pA, though sti 1 three points out. as w» have just discovered. The captain’s ch n .meter was very materially affect ed, It usually crosses the Atlantic without vary ing three seconds : it has now proved fn be out as many degress. Curious as are these effects, they are still more interesting in an evnerimen- tai view. Such facts, carefully noted down at the tiipe.afTor 1 useful data in the cause of science. Thus collected, they are at your disposal. When it is considered that not one vessel i" fifty is pre pared with a conductor, cases of this kind ought to admonish shin owner? of their utility. Capt. Bennet is determine ! to go well armed with them in future. It would be well to have one ready to be raised at each mast in case of emergency: and for the safety ofthe chain, it ought to be half an inch in diameter. “ We have visited,” says the editor ofthe Liv erpool Chronic'e, “ the ship since her arrival, and the traces whi ch remain of the operation of the first shock, toge’her with the concurrent tos- Repaet and his mates, and the state ottne iron rod, and such portions of the for 'he present may’NftJMtCft ■2. , ! e ^lgi££bVtTiTn at our office, have served to convince us of the gen eral truth ofthe foregoing letter and of the singu lar good fortune attending the timely annlicntion of this simple but philosophical invention ofthe admiral' e -'r^mklin, which no ship should be with out. Many additional particulars were recount ed to us by Captain Benm t, which, the pressure of other matter, and the shortness of the time re maining to us. prevent us, at present, from repeat ing. The following circumstances, however, com- muncated to us by Roskell&t Son, the chronome ter maker's. in Church-street, are too interesting to be passed over. Captain’s Bennett’s chron ometer, after observing,for a considerable length of time, a uniform rate of 7-!0tlis of a second gaining, and being nine minutes forty-two sec ends slow of Greenwich time, when the vessel left New-York, was found, when compare'' in Liv erpool, to be twenty-four minutes thirty-three seconds fast of Greenwich ; and three lever gold watches, belonging to three gentlemen nassengers by the ship, contracted the mag e ic power to such a degree as actually to requite the principal par' of the steel ,rr»-k to be renewed. “ Such >s the effect!” observes a correspondent, who has transmitted os the above account. “ pro duced on the steel work in the watches, that they have the power ofthe magnet so far, as to act the same ns the loadstone.” The Tariff.—Them is perhaps no term in opperal use which has a less definite mean inn attached f o It. where it is most used, than “'he Tf'd." One of our Virginian f i- vds, 1;U -’v Writing to us, in vokes our aid a gains' the Tariff\ which he thinks is ruining the agriculture of the South; indeed, throughout 'he Southern States, Virginia included, the Tariff is very unpopular. It is almost universally Into the cabin store-room it seems to have been ■ inveighed against, without one person conducted bv a leaden pipe near the main-mast under the deck. The quicksilver on the back of the mirror was sufficient to aUrnck-itr-tMt^wr when it would be diffused over the whole surface of the glass, which being the most perfect non conductor knowp, was thus shattered into count less pieces. The atmosphere being very moist, the dampness of the cabin floor, for want of a better conductor, might probably aid in carrying it to the windows. Being all in our births, enveloped in beds ten affixing to the term its just meaning, or to the measures which it represents their proper date. What is the Tariff? It is neither more nor less, as applied to the revenue, than a schedule of duties levied on articles, either of foreign or domestic fabric for the pur pose of raisin? a revenue for the support of the Government. ! * u " J " Whether the du- and bedding of non-conducting materials, we re-j ties be high or low, whether oppressive posed in comparative safety, while the deadly : or scarcely perceptible, it is a Tariff Still, bolt careered around us with fierce and resist-, Fortunatf T ly for the industry of the Country, less energy. Doubtless, a feather bed is the most safe retreat in such cases- Had it been later in the day, and the passengers about the cabin, the chances arc, that it would have been fatal to many of us- “ The operation of the second shock was very different from the former, and is more deserving of attention, as furnishing a new instance in proof ofthe efficacv oflightning rods, asa protection at sea. We had a chain conductor on boaffl ; but it not being the season to expect such light ning, and the first shock coming on quite sud den tlv, it was not up at the time. The morning squall was over; it continued, however, to blow fresh all the day and about noon, heavy clouds began to gather in on every side, rolling their volumes apparently among the rigging. We had reason to expect more lightning; the conductor was prepared, and Captain Bennett ordered it to be raised to themain-rovalmast head.JIt consisted of an iron chain, having links one fourth of an inch thick, and two feet long, turned into hooks at each end ; and connected by rings of the same thickness, and of one inch annular diameter.— This chain was fastened to a rod of iron, half an inch thick and four feet in length, with a point well polished and tapered, in order to receive the fluid with facility ; it was secured to the main- royal-mast, the rod extending two feet above the mast head, and thence it was brought down over the quarter, and repelled by an. oar, -protruding, say ten feet from the ship’s side, and sinking ftw feet below the surface of the water, j our Government is, in time of peace, able to raise a revenue sufficient for its sup port without resorting to the imposition of duties on the products of domestic indus try; and our tariff of taxes is therefore the least oppressive possible in its operation. We have never been without one; as some appear to suppose; for this Government itself was established almost entirely for the purpose of establishing one, the vol untary aid ofthe States ofthe old Confed eration having been found to be, in prac tice, a precarious and unsafe reliance for revenue. To whomsoever shall desire more fully to understand the history of this matter, and the origin of the Tart A simultaneously with that of the Govern ment itself, we recommend a perusal of a few of the numbers of the Federalist, written about that period by Mr. Madison and Mr, Hamilton, a work whose pro found political wisdom is sufficient alone ta immortalize the names of its authors, and those enlightened forecast has been established by the experience of our Government. The Tariff was establish ed, then, in the year 1789, by a Congress composed of the jpost enlightened patri ots formed in our Revolution, at the head of whom, as the mover of this measure, stood the illustrious Madison. It was the first measure ofthe new Government. It was the measuie without which this Go vernment could not have existed a twelve month—without which, indeed, it could scarcely have been organized at all. An Army or a Navy might have beeu dispen sed with, but a revenue could not. One might as well undertake to support ani mal existence without food, as a Govern ment, without revenue. When the duties on imports were first imposed, there were obvious prudential considerations for making them low, to ensure their collection, and gradually to familiarize the People of the several States to the payment of them. In time, they were augmented, either collectively or separately, until the period of the late war " fli1 Great Britain, at which time they weie doubled, at urru srTTunialn- ed uutil after the war, in consequence of which, in the year following the war, an immense revenue accrued to the Treasury It was under the stimulus of such high duties that our manufactures took a start; &, as a natural consequence, the reduction of these duties to nearly the old standard left our Manufacturers unable to compete with foreign goods in market, and in manv instances they were overwhelmed by it with irretrievable .ruin. This slate of things produced a loud and anxious appeal to Congress for relief; and so great was the zeal exhibited by the friends of the manufacturing interest, that it was feared that the duties would be stretched to the point of prohibition, or exclusive monop oly, for our manufacturers, either of which results, we, with others, most earnestly deprecated. In 1824, the Tariff under went a revision, by which certain duties were modified, and others augmented ; and under the effects of this revision, it is sup posed that our manufactures haveslrength ened and grown, though, by those who are interested in them, it is bf Ueved that the duties on certain : im*orted articles, such as w-ool and woollen goods, will yet bear an increase. T!iis is the history of the tariff, which the Legislature of Virginia has discovered to be unconstitutional fas encouraging manufactures) and which a very great man in another great State, considers, for the same reason, as one of the rights of which ihe States have been “ divested by con struction,” and which ought to be “re stored.” The major part of the People of the South, who reprobate the Tariff, appear n> uxrttc-v. -— — •.- -»_ c vision in 1824, as if it had then only lie gun to exist, instead of having existed be fore the most of them left their mothers breast. And they reprobate it on thebe lief, apparently, that it has had the effect to narrow the market for their produce and, of course, to reduce its value to them As legards the cotton region, this cannot be the fact, for if it has had the effect to narrow the foreign market for their pro duce, it has at least proportionally widen ed the domestic. And, as regards other articles, even the general peace in Europe combined with the increase of our duties has not reduced the amount of our imports which have, on the contrary, increased since the revision of the Tariff; which has of course not narrowed our general market abroad. With regard to another apprehension which induced the Stales men ofthe South to resist the modifica tion ofthe Tariff in 1824, vie find that in fact the price of every description of coi ton goods, instead of being increased, lias been reduced under the revised Tariff, and that the articles of manufacture, be sides being lower priced than before, are also tif a better quality. These lew plain observations will serve to introduce the following, from a remote Tennessee paper, which, with remarkable simplicity and precision, places thisques tion in a light in which it deserves to bi attentively considered, even by those gn lightened gentlemen at Richmond, who rule the destinies of the State of Virginia and have hitherto exercised so vast an in fluence over the Southern country gener ally. This honest Western editor is ca pable of instructing even these Magi ofthe land:—[iVaf. hit. From the (Tennesse) Iliwassean. Operation of the Tariff.—When the tarifl’of 1824 Was under discussion in Con gress, it had very few friends in those dis tricts ofthe country which wereexclusiva ly agricultural. For it was believed that the duties then proposed, would produce all the effects of a non-intercourse regula tion. It would be manifestly oppressive for the Government to sacrifice to any class of the community the interests of any other class, and to protect our manufac turers at the expense ofthe farmers. Now, if the duties imposed by the tariff had been so high as tqjpxcludc the importation of foreign articles, and, consequently, to cut off the revenue derived from the customs, the farmer would be effected iu one or both of two ways. Either their products would be excluded from foreign markets, by countervailing duties, or they would be taxed directly, to make up the deficiency in the revenue, or both results would be produced. An extremely high tariff would deprive us of the revenue derived from the customs, and aa extremely low one would bring about the same event. Safety, there fore, is between these extremes. The motives of those who advocated the tariff of 1824 have been arraigned, severely rep robated, and the measure has been, and it yet is pronounced ruinous, as tending to direct taxation.
