The steamboat mania still bears “ despotic
sway.’-' The stool pigeons of both boats are pan-
dering to the excitabilities of the sober citizen,
and practicing upon the innocent, with a zeal
worthy of the “wi;:ked one.”-——The Beethoven

TI-IE DROUGHT‘.
The long absoiice of rain has become alarm-
ing. The earth is not oulydeeply parched, de-
straying vegetation, but. some wells have failed, ;
and all are becoming low. XVe learn that. the,
Croton river has become nearly dry. and the ,
presentreliaiice ol'N.Y.city is in the reservoirs.
Should any fires occur at this time, they must; -
prove disastrous in consequence of the scarcity
of water. Old father VVood\vard of the New
Haven Journal thinks it intolerable and begins
to get desperate. Hear liiin—

“ What in the world are people laying in coal

might almost think that Miller and Himcs are
no prophets. \Vhat would the world come to

The Palladium observes as follows :—
“ Talk about rain, we should like to see how.
it would look—we might be as puzzled as cvcnj
the two topors who disputed over a pitcher ofi
water, and after along discussion, concluded it
must be water. as they both remembered liav-
.ing tasted something like it when they were
lboys.”
A severe drought also prevails in \Vest Jer-
-sey. In some parts t;he corn, and round and
sweet; potatoes, have suffered very much, re-
ducing the crop to a fourth or a half. The
\V0odbury Constitution says many of the pas-
Jtnre fields are burned up, which will compel a

A great conflagration occurred in Brooklyn,

two hundred buildings, and $51,800,000, worth

Awful St-can-.
A day or twd since, we saw a woman
raving with the de/i'r2'um zremens! She
livns _\'otiii;_r_ handsome, and 3 mother! An iSteplieu I-Ianford. and that the high cstiinatioii
uncontrollable, passion for intoxicating
drinks soon made a hell of a once happy
home, drove a kind-hearted husband and
father to despair and death, and brought
the wretclied mother and her two young
boys to the degradation of public shame
and street beggary. Her ravings were
terrible. She fancied herself a fiend in
perdition, compelled by :1 superior power
of darkness to thrust. her cliildren into
fierce flames, and hold them there. till their
bodies were burned to a crisp! Her des-
criptions of what she saw in her madnoss,;
and of what she fancied she was obliged
to do, were awful and indescribable.
casionally the wretched being would'flv
to the fartliest corner of the room, utteri-
ing piercing slirieks of agony and pressing
the palms of her hands over her eyes in
affvain attempt to shut out the horrid spec-
tacle presented to her distorted vision.——
Thcn, as if impelled by an irresistible
power, she would rush forward, clutch
wildly at what she thought were her chil-
dren, and with loud outcries, plunge them
again and again into the furnace of fire,
mingling horrid curses and imprecations
with the most touching and fervent
prayers.
This hallucination liaunted the misera-
ble creature long; after she was rendered
powerless by the restraints of the straight.

more terrible in character, and too shock-

COLLISION.
Astlic Steamboat St. Nit-liolas was coming
through “ Hurl-gate” on her return passage from
New York to this place, on Saturday last, she
was run into by the tow boat Ajax, doing some
damageto one of the wheel-liouses and causing
much consternation and alarm among thcpas-
sengers. It will be soon by the following min-
utes of a meeting of the passengers convened on
board the St. Nicholas that her officers and inan-
agers are cntircly exonerated from all blame in
the matter and that tliemanagcrs of the Ajax
alone caused the collision, either by wanton
carelessness or willful and malicious intentions.
A meeting of the passengers on board
the St. Nicholas was called to express
their opinion of the collision, and organ-
ized by choosing E. ADAMS,ESQ.Cl1t1ll‘U'ial1
and Mi>..JosL‘i>11 Urn.-rm Seci'etary The
following gentlemen were then appointed
a committee to draft a resolution expres-
sive of the opinion and feelings of the pas-
sengers relative to the collision: Messrs
J. A. Morse B. F. Thomas, G. W’. Green,
R. Dockwood, N. E Adams, J. Uphani,
who reported the following; preamble and
resolution which were iuimiz'.moz.'sl_i/ adopted:
W'hcrec.'s, The Steamboat St Nicholas, on
her passage to Norwalk, on Saturday
the 9th inst , having over four hundred
passengers on board, and heavily
lreighted, when opposite I3lackwell’s
Island, was run into by the steamboat
Aja.\'——-causing the St. Nicholas to ca-
reen on her side, and creating great
alarm and danger on board‘ the same,
and so altering her course as to place
her in danger of being run on to the
shoals; which nothing but the skillful
management and self possession of
CAPT. REYNOLDS and ofiicers prevented ;
and whereas, the Ajax, after striking the
St. Nicholas, kept on a full head of
Stem“: Causlllg the St. Nicholas to head
directly for the rock bound shore, there-
fore it is
Resolved, That from all information oh-
taiued from passengers who saw the occur-
rence, that the collision was occasioned
either by grosscmelessness. on the part of
the Ajax, or with a willful and malicious in-
tention to injure the St. Nicholas, and
with a wanton recklessness as regards the
lives of passengers of the St. Nicholas.—

The Dead Sea Ea2_ped2'Iz'on.—From private
letters which have been shown to the
editor of the Boston Transcript, it appears
that the Dead Sea Exploring party have
successfully and completed their task, and
returned to Jerusalem, where they were
on the 19th of May‘ They have sounded
the sea in a'l its parts to the depth of 600
fathoms, and found the bottom chrystal-
ized salt. The pestilential effects attrib-
uted to the waters turn out to be fabulous
Ducks were seen skimming over the‘ sur-
face, and partridges abounded along the
shore. 'I‘he party were upon the sea in
their boats or encamped 'on its borders
for some two months, and their researches
and estimates have been of the most
