About iix o’clock on Sunday ’ evening, as the (team boat en terpriie had puffied off from Sul- I liVan’s iil-tnd, having on board sixty or ilveuty p dlkngers, one of tlie boilers exploded, and dreadfully burnt and fc aided ten pafikngers, who ha ) taken Ihvl t ter from the impending rain be. 1 low the deck, and dole to the j mouth ot the boiler which bur If. hour were white men, and the remaining fix negroes. No per lon on deck received the lead in jury ; but fueh was the panic oc i cahoned bv the accident that fe ✓ veral narrowly efc-toed drown j • j trig, from the finite with which ; they threw themfilves into the | water, and into one or two boats 1 which were along fide at the time. The anchor of the fleam oval was immedietely let go, and the unfortunate hifferers v’ere re* j moved to different houses on rite | bl ind, where every thing that i could be done tor their relief ; was adrnlniffered, Tof tl etn ’ who were molt feverdy Raided, 1 died in the comic of the night ; r they were Mr. Joseph Roberts, i son in law of Mr. Morgan, late ‘•• * * 1 a conllabh* of this city ; but who , now resides ::i one of the noirh | er; fhte:\ and Mr. Divid Tor ; ten, a native of Long-Iffand, both working at the bufinois of tobac cotiiff. Mr. John iiobbs, coop er oftid- city, was one ot thole dreadfully burnt, and died lall evening. Mr. John Giibbens of Savannah, was aim a fuiT rerer, hut not in so fevious a degree as th others. I fie negroes so far as v;e conld leant are dill living, though Ik vend of them are very badly burnt and disfigured. Public op'nYu is much divid ed as to the c?ufc of this awful accident, mod rwrfens being of opinion, at the fu 11, blulh of the thin it. that the boiler had ex* I plowed from being overcharged j with llcarny but from an exunu i nation which we have made, and j from the united declarations of l the owner, Mr. Howard, the en ; ginecr, pilot and all hands at < tached to the vefiel, we are fa- I itched the fatal ex of lion ‘was oc ■ cafioned by lightning. IYIr.YVed ; dercatnp, the pilot, who was ! looking forward ?a the moment, dates that he diflinidly law the lightning flrike the top of th* iron chimney, and the upper part was thrown a confirierable distance from the vefiel, immediately after which tfie fire, and smoke and fleam, forced itfelf ur the for -9 * I ward com pan ion-way in a fright ! ful manner, and all on board was thrown info thegreatefl confufl on. A white man and two ne groes who were employed in at. tending the fires, all escaped without the leall injury.—they were fortunately Handing in the forecaflle, about fix feet from j the mouth of the boiler, which 1 was [operated from the body of the vdlilby a thin board parti- j tion. I'he electric Ikied, which is believed to have burlt the boil er, dcleended the chimney, per forated the boiler and forcing the way thro’ found vent by burlt ing tile under p u t of the boiler, immediate'y over the fire, when the boiling water and fire uee ; thrown out at the mouth of the furnace upon all thole fitting or , , Handing immediately before it. ; 1 The fluid it is said to have efca- { | ped out <r one of the port holes i on the fuie of the veil'd. What gives much .force to the i ! opinion that the exploit in was J ( occasioned by lightning was the ] 1 extraordinary appearance of the I bo.iy of one of the neccafed, i which dillered Entirely from that of any of his unfortunate I V • Rllow fuller?rs~~the whole fur - , face oi the Ik in was entirely j black, dry and hard, not a biilter i j upon it, and as cold as clay, with j : the exception of the feet, which I were fealded and buffered fnni- 1 j lar to the others, “iheprefump j tion is, that thij was the efled j 1 of tlie lightning. The F.nterprife came up to town yellerday in the forenoon, no part of her macKenery being injured except the boiler. — We finctfely fvmpathile with her in- j dufbious ami enterpriling pro prietor, whole Ids from his di- j fortunate accident mull be very : confiderafcle ; whi’e af the fame j 1 time ir tends to prejudice the j public mind again!! the cncou* 1 ragement of this great and im portant invention. The rights of Emigrant's. d’he current of emigration now j overflowing with fuel* force from j Ireland, England, and Scotland, 1 France and Germany to the U ; idled States is one of the practical | I commentaries vvbich hilt cry con i Hantly bellows on the dogmas ;of politicians, and the v>:o:igs jofablulute governments, lkng ; land drives a large part of her po pulation to difpair by Uarvation. If they feck fubsiffcnce, and in ■ deed exillcmce, abroad. Ihe irisiits ion her right to reclaim them under the plea of the perpetuity ’of allegiancy. Ug-'idedon by, famine and idienels at home, they violate laws made for their happinels, but become incapable of administering ir, she either 1 hangs them in Knlanci, or tranf | port them to Ilottany Bay. Can l this be right ? Is it const Hen t | w ith the end of man’s being, h ■ the firff principles of fociefy,that . any portion oi mankind ihould /be liable, by compulfion* to Haive or be bagged at home, bf* Carried if they aV tempt to escape abroad ? It can not be so. England lierlelf ac- iges that it cannot ; for ihe fullers thouiands of unhappy’ perlons to leave her territories in quell of ellablifliments and bet ter fortunes ellewhcre. i hey go forever. She knows when they go, that they are going forever; and does not prevent them. Can Ihe then afterwards reclaim them j alter ten, twenty, thirty years of abience, and the acquisition of j w’her rights ? Not, lay her ad j vocates, unlels thele emigrants are afterwards found in anas a gaiiill her, or at lea. But can any thing be more preposterous ihan dillincli .;i without a differ. eiKe ? While they remain at home, in their adopted country, contributing by taxes and all o ther civil services to aid that country, ao-ainff the country of tiieir birth, they are file But in arms, or at lea, they are liable to be taken and hanged. We put rfie fentimerit before the world—and is it not without the shadow of foundation. Asa point of policy, it may indeed be an arrangement: but we are treating it as a mattei of What rt?ht has tlie abandoned country, by sea or in war, which His has not, on ihore, and peace ? But she waves her ‘rights us a gainfl th-* landsmen and in jieace.
