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.

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 themselves almost entirely, to the argument of t|l« Constitutional qusqtion, foe; btve tacit); given string reason* to believe, that the; woild not object to.its incorporation in the Constitution, aud in foct many ofthe ad vocates ofthe righto of tbs Statos, have »■ vowed so much. The speeches of Barbour, Randolph,.Smyth, Ac. insist alone on ito uneonrititulionality, whilst they fail to *xltfe}c! bit thetremeridoous *ontoqu»nc**i and ovrir shadowing influence of the power itself,— To our mind* it seem* • power more formi p*bl« thu that of making w«r iU*if, for A Cockney Bull The following notice wa’ stuck against a house in the city the oth er day:—“ This house ie removed lower down till tbe repairs are fiuislied.” A wag wrote underj—“ Enquire of Mr. Bull, m the cellar, till the house oomes up again.” 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.
