Not a female or child was saved excepting the bur- ber’s wife. The number of those saved on tho beech was only 40.

The accident has been attended with n fearful loss of life, ns fen rful as any we have ever lmd, and every means should betaken to ascertain tho cause of tho disaster nnd the namesof those whoperished. The steamer Troy, which arrived this morning, furnishes the following additional particulars: mong the lost, are Copt. Roby, wife and daughter. A Mrs. Wilkinson and daughters; F. J.

Some Americans stopped there to ferry pas sengers, &c. &o. over the Rio Colorado. On last Tuesday, tho 28th, a party of 4 or 500 Indians attack ed them, about noon, uud killed 11 of them. Three only made their escape and come into town. There had been fifteen or twenty thousand Seuoreaus and others, who had been crossing the river during the last three months, and Ihe ferry companj'had nearly seventy thousand dollars. The Indians carried oil’ the money nnd provisions nnd burned Ihe houses.— There hud been stories of tile extortion, &e., of the Americans at the Ferry. Since this affair we learn that the Indians conceive themselves to he nt war with us, and I fear thutinno- „cent emigrants will sutler. From Ilnvnnn. The steam ship Isabel, Capt. Rollins, left Havana on Wednesday last, for this port and Charleston. It was presumed she would arrive mi Friday night or Saturday morning, and the steamer J. Stone, Capt. Freeland, went down to communicate with her, nnd remained below until 9 o’clock on Saturday mor ning, when, not meeting the steamer she returned to the city. 'The Isabel passed our bar on Saturday last between 12 und 1 o’clock, and placed her mails for this city ou board the Pilot boat O. M. Cummings, and they were placed in the Port oliice early on Sat urday afternoon. lly this arrival we are in receipt of commercial ad vices to the 18th, and the letter of our attentive Ha- vunn correspondent, of the 19th inst. The political intelligence is of very little interest, being nothing more than a confirmation of the accounts brought by the Lamar, and published by us in our paper of Sat urday. Our correspondent Eays— “Tile excitement caused by the late expedition, lins subsided, but the militia is organized, not only here, but in other of the principal towns. The different corps are subjected to a regular process of drilling. “Nothing decisive is yet known, respecting the men who were taken in the captured vessel.

Washington, June 18. •Senate.—‘After memorials, the adjustment bill wns tuken up. Mr. Davis, of Miss., moved to afnend so ns to pro vide that all pre-existing laws of raid territories, which restrict the enjoyment of any rights exercised under the constitution and laws of the United States, he hereby repealed. Mr. Hale moved to add the following : “Provided, That nil laWs abolishing slavery in Mexico be excepted from this repealing clause.” Mr. Foote opposed the proviso. Mr. Clay opposed the amendment and the proviso. He thought it had been already decided not to inter fere witli the lex loci, nor abrogate nor recognise any loral law. He was willing to leave the question to the judiciary of the United States. The matter was already settled by the provision adopted in the tenth section, which is that slavery be neither pro hibited nor abolished. Mr. Davis, of Mass., said his amendment merely asserted that the Constitution of the United States should be paramount, on Mexican soil, to uiiy local laws. If we had acquired territory l>y blood nnd treasure, ought not our Constitution be extended over it 1 Why should our citizens he compelled to go into expensive nnd tedious law suits to assert their rights. He sought to amend the hill; but if it could not be—if it was intended to maintain the lo cal law of Mexico, lie could not support the bill.

I he war still goes on, in England, between the pro- unfits slid the advocates of tree trade. Accor to an article in the last number of Blackwood farmers are in the most deplorable condition "ug to tlie competition of foreign corn, nnd having vo every cent in order to pay their rents, pur- c little or nothing nt tho stores. Hence the or- of the Liverpool nnd Manchester dealers hnve •i off' frightfully, olidn general stagnation of the ■ resulted.

The •rovements of science have enabled farmers to crops mfu'.h more cheaply than formerly, nnd o they are able to sell their corn nt a lower ■ than of old, though nut perhaps quite as low ns are compelled to now. Mr. Chadwick, in a peeehbcforc the Farmers’ Club, brings this fact iconj, follows: The increase of population in England und Wnles is nt the rate of upwards of 230,990 annually, h according to my computation, would require rati inereasnof territory under ordinary eulti- n. equal to such a country ns Cambridge or War- , i. r.. a total amount oi' land equal to 109,009 , of good pasture laud annually; or, what is bet- iu increased production by high and improved . atlon on tlie same land, equal to the ordinary •non of such n space under good cultivation. , when we know wlmt has been done on such as Lincoln Heath; when he know that laud was once thought only capable of growing now in summer hours heavy crops of corn ; i we know how much of tho same land there is jchnd by tenant farmers, eitrli us many of those il have the honor to address; when I know even when drain tiles, which now may he made I OS. a thousand, cost, 40s., and the expense ot ling was three or fourfold the present charge at permanent expense was bn tho average re- I,y the increased produce in three years ; when >w that only a small per centage of the land bus •eon raised by drainage and other labor to the , r condition for the reception of seed ; when I v that the immense mass of manure which now \tes as tilth tho atmosphere of towns, hits yet to mvayed and properly distributed into your fields ve them Increased fertility, 1 may confidently • that there is no ground for doubting the cnpnbih- f English agriculture to do more than pro- for the new comers.

In making this change we have necessarily incurr ed considerable expense, but wo feel encouraged to believe that the increased business facilities so essen tial to the growing patronage of the Mews will fully indemnify us lor the outlay. Owing to a disappointment in getting our fixtures ready iu time, we will not be enabled to arrange our Iteiiding-room files for a few days. Our present plan does not contemplate a very pretending establish ment. It is a beginning, however,and we will endea vor to make it available for nil practicable purposes. For the present it will be free to our patrons and tho public, to whom wq extend a cordial invitation to avail themselves of whatever advantages it may af ford. .Should we hereafter find it advisable to ex tend it, and place it on a different looting, wo will not fail to make it ill every respect worthy of our city, and tlie patronage of our citizens.

There is perhaps no public singer so much admired, and so invariably approved in Savarm ill as the charming vocalist v\ ho delighted our senses on the occasion. Nor has she lost any of her attractions by absence, , She seems rather to have inspired an affectionate expectation when it was announced that she would appear, and the audience manifested their gratification in unmistakable terms when she advanc ed to sing her first piece. Madame Anna is too well known, nnd her powers too well understood in this community, to make more than a mere mention of her appearance necessary.

Few Orleans, Monday, June 17. The Galveston (Texas) Civilian of the 14th inst. contains a proclamation by Col. Monroe, the U. S. Military Governor in New Mexico, directing the elec tion of Delegates to a Convention, to be held for the formation of the State Cuustitutiou und Government for the Territory. The Convention was to be held at Santa Fe on the 15th ult. Major Neighbors, the Texan Commissioner in New Mexico, lias returned to Austin, after ineffec tual efforts to organize tho country of Santa Fe. The cause of his failure was the interference of the military authorities at Santa Fe. The New York Tribune bus the following com ments on this extraordinary, announcement. Postscript—Important ! We received, late last eve ning the important intelligence (via Texas) that Neighbors has returued from New Mexico with a very fat lien ill his right car, bringing tlie useful intelli gence that he has been unable to organize the County of Santa Fe, by reason (us he says) of the interference of tile U. S. military there, and that Col. Monroe, in pursuance of fresher orders from Washington, has is sued a call for a convention of thepcople of Few Mexi co to meet at Santa Fe in May (now past) and form a State Constitution ! And there is lio doubt of the ready obedience of the New Mexicans to this call. This is altogether the moat important and gratify ing news we hnve received for n longtime. True, though we long, impatiently, and for a time confident ly, expected just such advices, we cannot yet recon cile them with the drift of Gen. Taylor’s new Spe cial Message—but we are very ready to waive that. If the Administration is nt last fairly, openly committed to the Independence of Now Mexico and (he main tenance of her territorial integrity, we are with it heart nnd soul. Much precious time had been lost, but by frankness, energy and determination all may he regained. There will of course be a new call oil the President for information, and we look for an an swer very different in tone und bearing from that of Monday. When it comes, look out for hurricanes in Cor.gress! jfSlwelmve yet had are nothing to them. 11 what Col. Monroe is reported to have done is avowed and justified by tlie President, tho divorce between him and the last remnant of the Slavery Propaganda will be complete. We uvvnit with interest, hut no longer u ith fear, the developments of the ensuing month. The sky brightens! Rqjoice friends of Freedom and press onward! We ugree with the editor thut it is a rather difficult matter to reconcile these accounts with Gen. Tay lor's late message to Congress, un extractfrom which was published in the News, nnd in which it will be re membered the President says “/ have no pouter to de cide the question of boundary, and no desire to inter fere with it as a question of title." We are inclined to discredit this news. If it should prove true we think it will put a new aspect in the Territorial question. Since the above wns in type we received.our New Orleans papers ill which we find the news from Tex as fully confirmed. This news has created intense excitementin' Tex as, as appears by the following extracts from some of tlie journals of that State. The Washington Hunger says : This intelligence has caused considerable excite ment about Austin mid the whole West. Nearly eve ry man is willing to shoulder his gun, and demand the rights of Texas n^ the cannon’s mouth. Gen. Talyor is much mistaken if he expects Texas to sub mit to this injury and insult. We understand that Governor Hell has made a peremptory demand ou tbelL S. Government tor the l ights of our .State, and should this have no effect, he will doubtless march with volunteer forces, and take that portion ot coun try, which, of right belongs to us. The Houston Telegraph, ill publishing Col. Mon roe’s proclamation, says : Tliis is another of the stealthy anil unprincipled acts of Hen. Taylor to rob the Southern States of their dearest privileges. A more open, base act of Government tyruuny has perhaps never before been perpetrated. Texas hides her time, The Galveston News, ill doing likewisei says : Wo can only say, that we are glad the issue has hern ut last presented to our citizens. We sliull now soon know whether our citizens arc {roRdy to meet that issue and defend their rights at all huzards ; or whether they will tamely give up their rights in view of the superior power against which we shall have to contend, in order, to maintain them. The Galveston Journal, in referaree to the procla mation, toys—We foibeiir comment until n further ilcvt lopement of facts. It looks, though, wonderfully like a part uf the system of tactics that has been a- dopted to extort from Texas ii sale and surrender of thiittn r.tory. and that of the Senator from Mass. If we were right, the amendment offered by the Senator from Miss, would ho nugatory, but would prevent others from voting for the bill. The debate was continued by Messrs. Soule, Daw- soil, Walker, Foote, Davis of Miss., nnd others. Without taking tlie question, at 4 o'clock the Sqji- ate adjourned. House of Representatives.—Mr. Jackson, ot Geor gia, reported a bill, providing for the removal of ob structions to tlie Savannnh river in tlie State of Geor gia, aud for the improvement of the same, which was read twice and committed. Mr. Chandler moved a reconsideration of tho vote by which the House on the motion of Mr. Swectser, authorized the uppgintmeut of n committee of five to examine and investigate whether the Secretary of the Treasury lias not used or appropriated a large amount or money from tho surplus fund, without authority of law, which had accumulated to said fund under tlie act of 1793, under various specific appro priations since 1830. Mr.Chandler remarked upon the phraseology of the resolution, maintaining that it implied a charge against the personal honor of the Secretary, whether it was so intended or not. Mr. Swcetser remarked in the course of the debate, that tlie resolution was not intended to reflect upon tlie personal honor of the Secretary, but contemplat ed an investigation into his officiul character, into un official transaction. Mr. Chandler said the phraseology fixed a charge of dishonesty on the Secretary, whether so intended or not. Mr. Morse desired to know of tho mover of the res olution whether the charge was made against tile Secretary, upon his own (the mover’s) responsibili ty- Mr. Swcetser responded in tlie negative ; but said he bad the information from a source in which he had the utmost confidence. Mr. Morse spoke at some length against tlie cha racter of the resolution. After a long discussion the question was put on the motion to reconsider and carried. Ayes 125 nays 57. Mr. Swcetser then moved to amend liis resolution so ns to authorise nnd instruct the committee on ways aud means to investigate and examine into the matter at issue. Mr. Chandler moved n substitute for the whole matter in the form of call upon the Secretary of the Treasury to report to the House tlie facts in the case, but subsequently modified it to make it the duty of the committe of ways and means to procure from the Secretary information upon the subject. Mr. Jones said the Committee of Ways nnd Menus wanted nothing to do with tlie matter. He moved to lay the whole subject upon the table, This question was decided in the negative—yeas 66, nays 66.

Supreme Court, to decide the disputed title to terri tory. Mr. Webster suggested that the President he author ized to direct the suit. Mr. Clay proposed that either tlie President or Tex as may hnve the question tested. Mr. Underwood modified the amendment accor dingly. Mr. Rusk said this ense wns much altered in its character by the President’s late message. The Uni ted States now claimed possession of the territory in dispute. He went on to argue that it was a frau dulent pretension. Texas, he hoped, would never suhmit to lie dragged to tlie bar of the Supreme Court. Mr. Badger advocated the amendment, showing thnt-the title of Texas was not clear, and ought to be submitted to the Supreme Court. Mr. Foote denied that tlie U. S. Court had jurisdic tion ill tile case. Mr. Budgar argued that the jurisdiction of the Su preme Court extended to this case. The discussion was continued by Mr. Butler, Mr. Berrien nnd others. Mr. Clay expressed a hope that the action on a- menilments would not be deluyed beyond to-morrow. Amendments would embarrass the bill and thwart its Shipping intelligence.
