When I laiided in your hoapitablc city, al

writhing under affliolion and calamities, the

It is you ladies and gentlemen, and your

Inhuman.—Drums, JYin. 3,’-Extract of a
l.-tter :—" I was roused fipui bod ,at (half
■oat six o’clock in the morning, to; behold
u large and beautiful ship, which had, at
hat moment, in endeavoring to reach the
Downs from tho westward, „struck on the
Goodwin Sands, about the western extremi
ty. At the termination ,of about twenty
minutes from the period of grounding, her
forepart having previously lowered or sunk
nto the Band, she inclined so much on her
unrboard side aa to bringtlie masts within
10 or 12 feet of the water. In this situation
aim continued for five orpix minutes, when
iter masts having come in contact with the
waves, were atl carried ashore. Slut struck
"f half past six in the morning, and before
half putt seven she wa < *. perfect wreck
I cannot accurately describe the scene
which took place on board, having been
dietant about three miles; but I could per-,
reive, with the assistance of a good glass,
that no sooner waa the misfortune perceiv
ed by tho crew and passengers, than tbe ut
most consternation and cmifustop prevailed
on deck. Persons war*’seen, running in
every direction. Sumo took to the cross
trees, others to the rigging, while the bow-
prit and poop were crowded. The cross-
tree*, leemi-d the principal. asylum, where
ihey all flocked around the slump of the
mizen must, to which, some I presume were
lashed. One imib clung to tha broken ex
tremity of the toast, where ho remained for
more than an hour. While in this perilous
situation, from which' Providence alone
could have saved them, a: boat hovered
round in all direction,s,’ evidently with a
view of affording assistance, but, alas, she
wns nimble lo ajiproach riearer than one bun
dred yards. A second boat niadq her ap
i.csrance,*ndin vmn attempted to approach-
Two others made desperate efforts,arid one
more determined than the. rest, hnvered to
windwtrd. passing and repaisihg with eigh
ty or on* hundred yards; ’ but, notwith
standing thn determination which the brake
crew evinced, they were unable te afford
th* nqceseary assistance, to great- wai the
surge, and vtolent the gale. Several float*
on me up now, but to no purpose, they were
unable, to approach on any tide. .Aoorit '1
-'’clock several tremendous waves washed
over her deck atol the crowd M the poop
was considerably diminished; man; so

Rail Roads.—A lata English papor for
nishestha following valuuble-iiiforniation on
the subject of .an improved Jtaii Road Car
tinge, whicli Will be perused with interest
and satisfaction hy every friend to the In
ternal improvement of his oountry:
Improved Rail Road Carriages.—The
great obstacle to rail roads is the enormous
expense of levelling the line along which Ilia
rail way is to be carried, and also of car
rying the path of tbe rail way nearly in a
direct linaq because the carriages hither
to constructed for rail roads, have not been
able to drag a weight, except upon * level,
or nearly level jpath, and Have nut b on
able to deviate in any considerable degree
from the straight tin*. The Birmingham
papers inform qaofa most important inven
tion, by which, if it prove successful, this
great obstacle will be removed. It is an in
vention ofa steam carriage, which dragging
a weight is pble to ascend upon a rail way
an elevation of 440 feet in* mile, with per
fect ease, and also to torn angles deviating
frotq the,straight line I j inch in the yard.—
The inventor is a W. H, Janus, of Bir
mingham. His models have beon exhibit
ed. They are on a considerable scale, the
rail way being 100 feet in length. The as
cent from the level, and the deviation from
the straight line are expressed above. On this
scale the models have performed with perfect
success. Mr Jainya estimates the saving in
the expence of laving down the line between
Birmingham and Liverpool at fully two thirds,
aufi the saving of tim* requisite, for laving
down the road lie considers will be much
greater than that. We are almost irans
criliing from the Birmingham paper, aod can
not, of course, speak of our own knowledge
of that which we have not seen. If, howev
er, there be any truth in the principles of this
invention its importance is very obvioue. E-
Ten oo the present calculation of tbe expense
of const uctmg rail ways between places
where the intercourse is very great, as be
twee* Liverpool an<| Manchester, it isconfi
dently expected that a saving, not of time on
Iv, but even of charge, will accrue to tha pub
lie fifem the mode of conveyance- But if the
great expense nf the construction ef rail ways,
namely, the'levelling the line in which they
ore to pass, can by the . new invention be di
minished two thirds or one half, the saving to
the public io Die aharge of the conveyaneepf
goods-would he certain, and at the same lime
therewonld disappear nearly all the oppnsf
lion which the country gentry have thrown
in the way of the rail A ays; for as a direct
line wosild no longer be necessary, it would
out be difficult by slight devialiods, to accom-
modate the humor, tasts, or pleasure of par
son’ through whose estats the rail way was
made to pass.
On tha righto ef Congress to carry on a
aystetn of Internal Improvement, we have
tiken occasion at various time* to express
our opinion- We can .find no warrant for
its exorcise in the Constitution, and with our
consent, it never would be found there. It
appear* to a*, that the opponents of this aye
tom, have directed their *IE>rt*.aMin*t it
with tha utmost imprudence.—Confining

Steam-Boat Accident.—On Thursday
inUming. about IU o’clock aa the steam-boai
Olive Branch, which plies between this city
and Albany, was attempting to land passen.
gen in thn smalt boat, at New Baltimore, a
bunt 16 miles below Albany, the boat captix
cd, and Capt. Romer, (who was in command
in the absence of Capt." Moore) Mr. Banja
min Chamberlin, tanner and currier, and Mr.
Kedenck Rosecrantx, farmer, both of Water
loo, were drownod. The two last named
were very respectible citizens and bare left
families. Capt. Romer, was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. When the steam boat
arrived near New Baltimore,Abe passengers,
got into the small boat, aod on lowering it
down aotne of the tackle became entangled,
which caused the boat tocapsize, and all were
thrown out. The two boatmen succeeded in
swimming to the shore. We are not surpris
ed at the accident. Nay, it is matter of tpe-
trial wonder that a haodred accidents of a simi
lar /Istore have net occurred, during, the
haste incident to competition, and consider
ing the manner ia which small boats are sent
off, and taken iu, from all (lie boats.
