Witness lay in Ilia birth all day very sick—the weather Iwing very windy a abort lime after dinner, witness asked one of the seamen who waited on him, how they were going, he hnsitated ami aaid he ditl not know—on bring naked again he aaid he feared the vessel would break Iter back every in intent—she tailored outre Ilian any ves sel he ever was on hoard of, and he was an expe rience I sea it in.

The nett day, and after the ve-scl had been shifting lior course, Mine one ut iho (able observed that a*'there was ca apiain of u steamboat at the table, I* would be desirable lo say what they ought to do. The witness ami Dr. I’oieher conversed with lha captain above referred 10, but they could get from in in no consolation, lie certainly gavu them (» understand lb,it ha I lie the command, ha would have managed the vessel very diffrent ly- Upon a question pul by one oi the committee, he aaid he did not think the vessel lit for sea, or aea worthy, and as to the captains competency, Ko would only say, his bclmvioi was very strange, be wea over anxious, apparently lor want of eon lidenee in hiiuwn skill, mid HU consultation with his mate was extraordinary; ho seemed lu de pend on him. Mr. Thomas Dultorcr, Was on board lUo steam er Home in New York, on Saturday, the z3d Sept. 11a looked carefully at the cnginu mid in conversation with Mr. Hum, the principal engi neer of the Home, wittier) tomatked that the en gine looked very well. At the same lime witness noticed the peculiar form of the deck of the boat, which was xorponlin'—drooping very inuah at the bow and stern —asked what was her original shape—Hunt raid she was originally straight, but said, lha in her lirsl flip they had put a Urge quantilV/U'ballast 100 laijforwurd and under her furwsid cah.n floor, and that in consequence two of her fore mid uli slay rods, bad broke be fore she arrived in Charleston, and in conse quence that the boat bad strained and dropped, •t the hows. He also said, that after they look lha ballast out and repaired the slay rods—the boat had come back considerably to her place. Witness observed he did not like (lieappearance of the boat, and should not like to go in tier. His impression w as, the vessel had been onginally built 100 weak. Mi. C. Coles, was a passenger on her first trip —he felt gtcal diffidence in the vessel—every one on hoard fell the same—not the pas engera only, but the teamen, who all seemed alarmed and dialiustful. On the whole, Mr, Coles' impres sions weto very unfavoiablu to the boat—so was the general impression, lor when A Curd, recunis mending the boat, was proposed, it was so gener ally rejected, that finally (bo comm nidation was confined lo the good behavior of the Captain. Having now spread upon the hoard, the whole of the evidence, your Committee, acting under the duly imposed on them, and with no nnwor thy anxiety to pass the sentence and condemna tion which auch lostimany calls fir, will now proceed lu express their opinion on tire two sub * jects proscribed for their consideration—that is to •ay : 1. The character of the vessel. 3. The conduct of the Captain. With the testimony before llieru, they give it as their most solemn and unbiassed opinion, that the steam packet, “the Home,’’ was most unfaith fully built—and never was seaworthy, end that when she last left the port of Now York, on that most ill laird destination lo the City ol Charles ton, she was entirely unfit lor the safe convey ance of pavscngei*. Seaworthiness of a vessel, consists not only in the proper structure of the vessel, but in the competency ut her captain and crow to navigate her. Doth these requisites wore, la the opinion of your Committee, wanting. As to lhg competency of the captain on funner voya ges, and a< to his general good character at for mer periods, they cannot affect the issue now made between him and the world, in reference to that event which lias given rise lo the inquiry. Hte ignorance and his rashness shewed themselves iramedisiely after the vessel 101 l her moorings. He dismissed the Pilot, and soon after ran his boat aground on the middle ground. There she lay, until, by the rive of the tide and the aid of another pilot, she was got off, aflei a detention of four tu live hours, it may lie pretended by those whoso conduct is now arraigned at the bar of public opinion, that the injury received at ibis place, miy have created the subsequent defects, Hal this will only be the desperate effort of con scious guilt, to inlioduce some plea against tin final sentence of condemnation, it cannot avail (hem before an impartial world. The place on which the vessel grounded, was not oxpoeod lo any violent action of the waves. The weather was mild, and every man acquainted with thn lo cality, wilt be of the opinion, that to a to unit ami tea v eortho vettrl. that ae. idem should have cau sed no serious damage. To one already weak and unfit to contend with any of the accidents of the element in which sho was placed, some inju ry may have been occasioned. Such a pretence would amount to the admission of the fae: of pri or uiisoaworlhinose, and the knowledge of her true condition, if known to any, most tu e linen known to her captain, thu agent of the ow ners —the man whom they lisd placed in the res ponsibte ol)i- oof protecting, by bis skill, pru donee, and care, so many valued and cherished lives. Here, if any Injury wasieeeived.it became the captain to return to the pot I, especially, as from the evidence of one of the witnesses, the pilot told him he apprehended the approach ol stormy weather. But lo proceed—Saturday night and Sunday till noon, lha weather was propitious ; but in the afternoon of Sunday lha winds rose and the gsle increased—and during the night from Sunday to Monday the mcompe leacy of the Captain and the awful and pencil tioua insufficiency of ibe frail barque begun lo Iw developed. The Captain did not take the projier course in the morning he had got so far west, aa (n be near a lee ahore, and found it necessary to haul up to the wind to clear the breakers and to weather Cape H altera* ; —an ojwrati « very *»> ng to the strength of alt vaaxle, a id in this {•w tiHCa believed to have barn ena M the j principal canoes of lbs winch ensued- A little further on his course.

Irom a full expose of liis eirors and bis weakness, * were it not ne cssnry to Iho safely of thousands, daily exposed to similar dangers, and trusting lo llto sk II and energy of persons who assume a ich responsible stations, that they should lie laid tiare, ( Bui your Committee would, by no means, be ( undrrstor.il lo confine their erasure lu tire corn rnander of (bo vessel. To llto builders an-t owners of (but vessel, us Ibe highest degree of I criminality attaches, so will the deepest condom- nation be ulhxed. We wHI now recur lo the stale of the vessel , during the period just passed under review. In (1 he eo rrse of Sir day night, a.d while the vessel was laying her course, with the wind on bcrlar b uird quarter, and therefore in a favorable (iosi •V lion, the vessr I leaked considerably in her upper lC seams, so much so, I lint (to nee Ihc words ol Mr. , | > Hussey who gave in hie evidence with the most 1 scrupulous regard to the fuels,) ‘ the passengers I* in the upp r lietlh in the after cabin, complained ol the vessel leaking tlnougb the scams into llicir berths. The pur-on in ibe berth above him, was very wel, and the ladies complained of being ® dr nebed with water. Bimilar complaints were made by pernmi in the forward cabin. * "In ihc morning, the bout appeared lo boa * good deal out of order. Her upper works were 1 out of their places—psnnols loose, and doors pait ling, and inueli of the relling of Ibe male’s and ". other officer's apartments lulling down. Even I tlit- bow of the boat, as if loosed from the main 0 body, moved tip Bor 111 inches, us she would rise ' upon or full with the wave. And all Ibis, lei it . he remark ed, before the gulo had reached its height—in an open sen, Ihe wind upon iho quar “ ler, and weather in which in the opinion of ’ competent judges, n good, staunch and sea wor thy vessel would have gone upon her ceur >t in safely. ’ During Sunday, and until Monday morning, r Iho vessel passed through (Ito ace .es already des * crihed, without any addition-,,', Injury, but on the ’ evening of that day,mid u„, ~a r| y , nul 0 f Mon , 'l«y night, whan r'.o had passed the outer shoals of 11 alls’. ul-, me crow and passengers were railed an ’n '’.rservo their life, from the imminent dun fie( of thu leak, which had increased upon her. . It was tlieiijihat|(dupl, Hallers took the command, and upon cxamiriulion, it was found that the wa- II ter in her hold was such at lo oblige the passen gera to U'O the exertions described in their tcati ‘ ninny. * Here eccurs another evidence of unseaworlhi ’ rii-e* in Iho vessel. The common pomps were 1 out of order, and (hut which was connected with 1 Iho Engine was alsoincaphle of being worked— -1 so that (be very inadequate means nf bailing, by 1 tint use ol buckets wax resorted to. The Irak in r creased so fust that (lie fire in Ihe furnace became extinguished, and tluis nil hope of reaching the land aoeu'ied lo expire also. The jib and square sail "atthou v/i all la tall eri," were raised—and ’ in this eoiidillv o they leached the place on which ■ the vessel strands'L ' Aflcr blmi struck, i. n r destruction was ns rapid * us that of Ihe imforUinate crew. Hho went lo ■' pieces, according lo one oi the witnesses, in a * hull’hour—according to the olti.'rs. in one hour. But all agree, ilnil the speed of he. dissolution indicated a weakness and rottenness ol fonstilu * lion entirely unfit for lire servtie on which she was sent. Hueh is the evidence in relation tu J the las', voyage, on which your Committee have formed the opinion w hielt they have expres sed. 1 But (ho additional testimony derived fiom * those who wore passengers in (hat vessel on her first Hip, carrabora cs all these impressions lu a 1 degree wlneli leaves no room for doubt. Mr. Mordecai, Mr. Valentino and Mr. Cotes, testify fully, (is will appear by their evidence,) 1 ‘ lu tltv leakiness of her condition, and the constant alarm of In r passengers on the first voyage of tins vessel, and all Ibis in weather which could have ' caused no alarm in a sound vessel and with a competent officer. Hit this voyage, the vessel leaked in the most unusual manner, and all things seemed out of order. Your Committee can and will dwell no longer on ibis agonizing subject. They see,and feel ik.ttjiiiany of their fellow cili xens and fellow men have burn led lo destruction, by the erimin:il|iiegUcl oftl oso who hid summed the responsibility, and therefore lay under the most imperative obligati ms to pro'.act their lives ' by all the means which human prudence rould provide. On the contrary, they find, that it reck less indifference lu these responsibilities, and a to tal disregard of the solemn (rusts they bad as -1 stinted has characterized Ihc conduct of the own ers of this ill fated vessel. Woollier they (It lor did not Jt /iair (hat they were inviting their fellow men lo (heir destruction, it is neither the province nor the ineliuat on of your Committee to say —all that (bey do say, in duty, is, that after all that bus been made apparent by this examination, the me ant ought lo have Kitova it, and (bat their ig noranee, (if it did exist,) was owing lo a gsoss and palpable neglect of duly, amauiiiing to a 1 high crime against morality and humanity. Having, lo the best of their ability, discbaiged the duties assigned lo them, under the first part of the resolutions, your Committee beg leave to ■ asy, ihui the second part which relates “to ihr en quiring into the condition of the steam boats now in the trade,’’ has, in their opinion, been already executed, by the adoption, in town meeting, of ilia resolution of Judge Lee, and therefore have no report lo make on that part of the subject. A< to the leeonmiendalioiis suitable lo prevent a continuance of these disasters, the Committee are obliged to lake further time for consideration in order that their decision may be such as to 1 aomtspond with the importance of the subject, and meet iho reasonable expectations of their constit uents. All which is vcspcefully submitted. JOSHUA W. TOOMER, Chairman. MIL EORREST'* LEAR. In his performance ul l.eiii, mi Tuesday night, ■ Mr. Koiro.l achieved one of Ihe greatest Imimphs of his art. Those who witnessed the persoiialion and its etfeet upon a ciowded audience, cun no i longer deny Ins claims to the distinction of a . great and consummate actor. We trust that we shall now bear no mure of 'he cam which used lobe prevalent once among certain c iques, that I forrvsl was purely a physical actor; that be was i indebted to his line person, his strong lungs, and i his exhibitions of a gladialoiisl power and skill * for bis success.

We fear I < • that this robust and Herculean projioitions could j i 1 hardly lie reconciled with our idea of ibe inliri.n , J tins of the old, choleric monarch ; but it was a • ! ma'ter of surprise to witness with what an abin- I s 1 d iitmcnl of muscle and of mind to the character i- ] he wa. d> pi. ling, lie made Ilia physical strength j c , in trumon'al in ihc portraying of physical infirmi- i l ly. He wui throughout "every inch a king” in j • lit* ntpresenlali >n ; and such a king as Hhak- ‘1 ' spc.ire ninst havu conceived—-toileting o’er the j • | verge of dolrige but still greater amid bis luins I I itian others in their pride—the original haughii- | r 1 new of Ifi.jspirit and the plituaophieal grandeur - I nf hi* soul, contrasted with the hclplee-ness Os his t i situation and the imbeeillily nf old age. When r Mr. Korrcil came to the passage in the first act i when Bear exclaims, in his wrath against lus I unnatural daughter— -0 ! “ The iinlended wounding* ol a father's cur*e I Pierce every senae about llteo” I the genius ol the actor seemed lo have been . !e Might iu the same Turret which must have hurri- i 1 l ed on the author in bis immonal ta-k, and be h ' gave Ihe whole ol the imprecation with such ap , (raling (ffecl, that the audience, after a breathless pause, broke forth into such peals and shouts oi |. appr.iba ion as wc never remember lo have beard ; within Ihc walls ol a theatre. The curtain lull, „ and the inrriif relations of applause were conlinu- i i j cd until it rose again for the second act, „ "There were many other points in the perfor , mancc, which were no less indicative of the ac , tor’s powers and his intimate study and appreeia „ lion of Hlinkspcure. One of the most affecting |, touches of dumb eloquence, was that, whore, during the storm, he clings lo Ihe rolics of Edgar, c n» the latter is hurried away by Gloster. And who . that heard it, will forget Ihc inimitablu pathos, ,i i with which (be lines commencing, ,f "I am a very foolish, fond old man" — were uttered? The articulation was as perfect, as flic action was expressive and true. Through ,| out the whole performance of Lear, Mr. Forrest ~ gave ample assurances that he bad not devoted q bis Jays and bis nights tn Hhakspcurc, without . catching a portion of bis inspiration. In the strict carefulness and fiddly of bis readings, (be ' r t o-v point and effect given to passages apparently 1 , trilling and unimportant, he showed bis own in- 1 t leipreling genius and his veneration for the 1 , original.

There has been a very smart struggle between ( the whigs and the government party in the House of Representatives, and tho opposition, after 13 ballots have succeeded in electing their favorite candidate the Hon. Thomas Allen, the editor of tbu Madisonian, lo tho office of printer j lo the,assembly, by a majority of two, in tho room of the late printers, Messrs Gale & Denton, edi- . tors of the Washington Globe , who were the goveremcnl candidates for the office. Captain Hack’s Ship—Tho Terror was .beached on tho 4th of October, Tho whole of lu‘r keel from the ten fool mark was gone. Tho iron platosf which were nailed to secure the tern nant, 'I herf,fore-foot when she got in the ice,were seen. At surprised all those that saw her hot torn, that Captain D. was able to bring her into port. The fol, ’owing information fiom tho Morning Herald's city' article of October 4th.ps , f c, nsidcr ahlo interest Jo the merchanlilo community. It confirms the byirrions we expressed in July;— Our commercial money market continues very easy, and for the present all apprehension upon the question of tho taking up of the guarantee notes of the parties '*ho became securities of the Dank of England direction, on account of their late advances lo tC® suspended American mercan tile firms, has been dissipated. It has been stated that hints were give, t to fho guarantees, nearly a fortnight past, that if i.‘ " °- ra n « l conveni ent to redeem tho securities which would fall due this day that they had gt 10 bank direction would renew them for three months. In most instances, if wc are correctly .iofovmed, these guarantees have been liquidate,.', a*d where it has been a natter of convenience to re new them, wc understand that it has been pron'P dy agreed to on the part of the Dank ofEnglam. 1 . So far, all this is very satisfactory, since it prove ’ that the ; bank has confidence in the present gt nt **• state of commercial cicdil, as well as in the g. ia.'antecs of the firms which have suspended payn.eti 't; it may be inferred that the directors are also sal's.* l ™ with the steps which the houses alluded to Jiav ."* taken lo liquidate the claims upon them, and to this renewed disposition on the part of the bank to assist them, wo may pretty certainly attribute tho present easy aspect of the money market; in ‘ fact, tho bank directors could not well adopt any other course without detriment to their own in terest, as well as those of the commercial commu nity in general; notwithstanding, it is still the opinion of many men of business that they seri ously committed themselves by taking up those * firms in the first instance. To let them down now, without any decided or just motive, wouln 0 only be ading wickedness to a very great excess .j of imprudence. 1 London, Oct, 9.—Thk Funds.— Saturday. — J A farther improvement has taken place in the c value of tho funded debt this week, and the indi- s cations arc stilt very strong in favor of an addi- i lional improvement, tho main cause of which is the abundance of capital, which will he soon * increased by the payment of the interest on those i portions of the Drilish securities fixed to ho liqui dated alter tho 10th inst. The rise this week on the extreme quotations has been about J to J per cent, on Consols, and } per cent on the “heavy” J slocks. The steady advance in tho prices has c not led to any increased speculation. < The extreme poices of Consols for money and i account this week have been 92 and 92} tor the f former, and 92} and 92 j for the latter, the high est value having been realized yesterday. A * | similar improvement has taken place in reduced I annuities, which have touched 93 for the open- c j ing, and the new three and-a-half per cents, to C I par. The demand lor exchequer bills has been i very steady, and the premium has rallied from J I 47s to 535. ‘ I The statements in circulation relative to the ~ | produce of the revenue for the quarter, which has „ nearly arrived at its conclusion, arc not favorable; ( but if we are informed correctly, there are no * grounds lor the assertion that the receipts will 1 show a very heavy deficiency, as compared with 1 the income of the country in the corresponding , period of the previous year. When the pros- j trate condition which trade and commerce have v been in, is considered, it must ho expected that r the revenue would be much affected. No stale- 1 1 mcnls upon which full reliance may lie placed 1 ; can yet be made of the probable deficiency, as on jj 1 tha first two days of next week very large amounts j 'ill be tut 1 into Ike trr hum so hniee. lucre I*" , nut to mueb emulation sum ih. roniUK rc;al p merest* we h i*e ii»li' id lor au.ne -voces past- : th| he stale of uncertainty which piovml- •• to whet of uurwi the Congress til lie Uniieu Stales will . d..(M, in rrfcrct.cc to tho great and important !

The two packets Which have tiome in this week lave brought neatly 430,000 dollars in gold , 1{ md silver, a fair proportion of which, wc arc confidently assured, is to liquidate old claims. | n I’he stock of specie has been also farther incrcas- di ;d this week by the receipt from the Drazils of rather above 320,000 dolla a. Money matters in ibis city are in a satisfactory slate. Discounts j., :an be easily obtained upon negotiable paper, and ni early in the week after next the quarterly div- Ki idends will be paid to the public, which, added jtc lo those due on continental bonds will go far lo , w produce a glut of unemployed capital, which, in ™ ihe absence of investments in foreign or colonial _ produce, must continue to have a liencficial effect gj an the public securities. The apprehensions it which were entertained a few weeks since of c.x- m tensive speculations in foreign grain, and a con- fc icqucnt demand of specie for exportation, have cl ulthogether subsided, and there is at present but c little doing, either in the new arrivals of coin „ from abrovd, or in the large stocks under lo'V, ‘ The shares of the Colonia Dank are a* } uia- f ( count; of Ihe Dritish North American at 2} dis- g count. a From a London par er 0 r Oct.

Tho French papers contain the long expected ordunnance for the dissolution ol the Chambers, and appointing the 4th of November for tho elec- lions. y They also contain the ordonnance for the crea- . tion of 50 new peers, among whom are Messrs. Humann and Dupio. The clumbers are convoked for the 18th of December. t The grand review at Compiegae was brought to a close on the second of October, and the Duke of Orleans returned to Paris. The review went off £ well, and the Duke was in high favor with the 1 troops. " A letter from Dona, dated the 251 h of Septem ber, stales that the inarch upon Constantine was j deferred until the arrival of reinforcements from t France.—The preparations for defence were formidable in the extreme, and the attacks of tbe Arabs, in small parlies, upon the French camp, , were daring and incessant. | Tho Cholera was spreading in tho South of France. There was a tumor in the papers, of a projec led marriage between the Duke d’ Aumale, youn gest son but one of King Louis Phillippe, and the infant Queen of Spain. Moonshine, probably. La Peronsc. —The Journal de la Marine et des Colonie, says that Captain Morrell, a well ; known American, has written lo the Society of Geography, that in the course.of his recent voyage in the South seas, he had found two of the chil dren of the surgeon who was attached to the ex pedition under La Porouse. An expedition has sailed from Toulon for Ihe purpose of exploring the aiilaicl'e regions; and to ‘ proceed, if possible, beyond the limits of Cook and 1 other navigators. SPAIN. In Spain the prospects of Don Carlos seem lo he on the wane. He had been compelled to retreat from Madrid, after several partial engagements, in which his troops were defeated, and at Ihe date of the last accounts was attempting to form a junction with Zariategui, on the other aide of tbe Duoro. A new ministry had been formed at Madrid.— Espartcro and the other ebristino generals were in pursuit of the Carlists. PORTUGAL. The insurrection in Portugal has been brought to an end, by the defeat of Saldanha and the char- Icrdists, near Ihe Douro. Saldanha and Tcrceira surrendered, after tho battle, and were to leave Portugal; their followers likewise surrendered, on a promise of amnesty, with tho exception of some officers, who were lo he tried by a court martial.

The receipts ofcolton luring the last 3 months of 1835, amounted lo 213,000,0 f whicli-72,000 were from America; the supply from the united States during this and the next two months, will probably amount lu 190,000 balcs—which will leave us a stock of American cot'em qf somewhere about 110,- 000 bales on the 3!st December, ngain*t 90,000 ibe estimated slock on the 31st Dec. 1836, and 109,000 bales against the same time in 1835.
