Arvin! Catastrophe. THE BURNING OF THE STEAMER HENRY The telegraphic despatches narrated briefly the outlines of another horrible steamboat catastrophe on the North River, on Wednesday afternoon. We give below, from the New York papers of Thurs day morning, all the additional particulars we are able to gather. The Tribune relates the disaster as follows: The Henry Clay left Albany at 7 o'clock yester day morning, having on board, as near as could be ascertained, some 300 passengers. The Armenia left the same place a.few minutes afterward.. On the passage down the river there was, as witnesses testify, a continuous strife or race between the two boats. At one time the Clay crowded the Armenia almost upon the western shore, and forced her to drop astern, &c. The passengers on board the H. C. finally became greatly alarmed on account of the racing, and some time before the fire a number of ladies were crying and running about the cabin, as if sensible that some catastrophe was impending. Some of the officers of the boat went among them, assured them that there was no danger, and tried to pacify them. We are assured that the race had been so hotly contested that the boats had purposely missed some of - their landings. The runners of the boats at the various landings appear to have been aware of the racing, since they were freely offering bets upon their favorites. . However, no accident or outrage occurred until a few minutes eller the Henry Clay passed Yon kers, when it was-discovered that the woodwork near the boilers and jibes was on fire. The alarm spread, but the officers of the boat (judiciously, without doubt . ) told the passengers that there wan no danger. The pilot, however, paw that no time was to be lost, and headed the boat for the eastern shore The river here is nearly two miles wide, and the boat in her regular course would have been a mile and a half from the east shore. - • Before reaching the shore, the flames had spreld so as almost to prevent communication between the lore and aft part* of the boat. At about three era quarter-pastfliree o'clock, the boat came ashore, lying at right angles with the river, and the bow driving up some twenty-five feet on dry land, and plunging with tremendous force into tile railroad embankment which is there Home AiX 01 night feet high. The shock overthrew the emokepipe, displaced every thing mevca . .le, and added not a little to the nprodding of the flames. While the bow was high and dry, the greater portion of tie boat, and, un fortunately, that which held nearly all the passen gers, was in deep water. The passengers immediately began to jump over board. Those on the bow get MT safely, and be gan to help the others. A board fence, near by, was instantly stripped, and the boards thrown into water. By great exertion, a large majority et the passengers got ashore, some scorched, nearly all with loss of clothes, trunks, Be. But the rapid spread of the tire, which forced the passengers at the stern overboard, woo the cause of the lobs of a large number of lives. Tho senile was one of the most terrible charac ter. Moth rE, with their clothes in flames, trying to save sonic dear child; children struggling in the waves without a hand to help them; husband and wives drowning togetiier rather than separate ; and the remorseless fire-rapidly destroying the last standing place of the helpless-victims. There were very few houses in the neighborhood, and very little help could be had from the shore.— But all who knew of it hastened to lend their aid. When the 6 o'clock train passed,(at about 41 P. M.) the boat was nearly all consumed; the rescued passengers had dispersed. (except those who took the train) and the worst was over. The number of bodies recovered before we left, at 91 last night, was 22 or 23. But two or three of these showed any evidence of burning, and butone appeared to have been burnt to death—this 'was Mary Cooper. All the others were evidently drowned. TIM boat was entirely destroyed before 7 o'clock; nothing was left at 5 o'clock, except a fragment of the bow, some ten or twelve feet high; which burn ed slowly, liko a warning beacon to light up the shapeless wreck of charred timbers and iron be low. The Henry Clay was a fine boat, of moderate size, built about two years ago by Thomas Colver, •nd owned by him and Radford & Co., we believe. There teas insurance on the boat to a considerable amount, but we only learned the name of one com pany—the Stuyvesant, of city, for 85000. All along the river, fir a mile or two either way, might be seen hats, shawls, fragments of dresses, bundles, &r., and now and then a human body washed ashore. By reason of the buoyancy of their dresses, the female bodice were first recovered; of the first fif teen bodies, we think all were females or children. From the account given by the N, Y. Tribune, we take the following: A cry for '• the boats" waa raised; but no boats could_be found. We cannot ascertain that a single yawl or life boat was on hoard the steamer. If there was one such, we ore assured that none was brought in use. Nor can we learn that there was any effective apparatus on board with which to ex tinguish a fire., Every effort-to save the vessel be came so utterly hopeless, within five minutes after the flumes broke out, that it was abandoned, and the strainer's head was turned towards the east bank of the river in order to run ashore. The wheel houses were wrapped'in flames, the engineers had been driven from their posts, and the devastating element, fanned by a stiff south wind, was sweep ing rapidly towards the after saloon, where the greater number of the passengers were located.— The dense volume of smoke, too, was blown di. redly all, laden with burning cinders, and subject ing them to imminent danger of suffocation. There being no communication from aft to forward, even the approach of the river's bank gave but little hope to the helpless women and children who were astern. The vessel struck, leaving those who were all some 250 or 300 feet; from the shore. At this time it is estimated there were nearly 300 per tons huddled together on the alter guards. No fronts were to be had there, of any descrip tion. The Armenia bore rapidly down, and sent out her boats, as - also did a number of sailing ves sels which were near; but at least a quarter of an hour elapsed, after the Clay struck, ere any assist ance came. In . the meantime, the panic stricken unfortunates had nearly all been forced over the stern into the water, where many of them sustained themselves by swimming, or by the aid of a few floating boards, until rescued from their perilous condition. Others clung to the guards of the ves sel, with the energy of desperation. The rudder and ;steering gear furnished temporary safety to others. A number succeeded in getting hold or the braces on the under aide of the guards. Sev eral ladies threw the end of a stern line overboard, let themselves down into the water, and sustained themselves by it until aid reached them, fortunate ly before the line, which was on flee, had become too weak 'o support them. But many others jump ed franticly into the water, and sank to rise no more. b . - -- ho was forward, and who got on A gentleman who was forward, got shore soon alter the vessel strudk,says.that nut one of a number of ladies—some with children in their arms—whom he saw jump from the larboard side, were savvd. He expressed the conviction that some fifty or sixty lives ; at least, were lost. One child, we are told, was seen to fall beneath the flames in the after saloon. A Mr. Way, of Wellsville, Ohio, was among the passengers. When the Clay first struck he swam ashore, procured a raft of several loose boards, and returned to save his wife. The drowning creatures aboot him, in their struggles for safety, broke up his raft, and compelled him to abandon•it. The loose boards sustained quite a number of the sufferers above 'water until help came. Mr.. %I:ay got under the steamer's guard again, and sustained his wife and two other ladies until the small boats Caine. - NEW YORK, July 2901,-4 o'clock, P. M. • A gentleman who was a passenger on board this ill-fated steamer Henry Clay says that he thinks there were at least 100 lives lest. There were (he says) 100 persons, at least, sitting at-the dinner ta ble in the cabin when the fire broke out, and from . the great rapidity with which the fire spread, and the fact that all the doors opened inwardly, be lieves most of them have perished. He lafther says that he knew, personally, 22 Philadelphians who were on board the boat, and he had not seen or heard of but two of them since. Among those known to have been lost was the sister of Hawthorn, the novelist, a most accom plished lady, returning ftom the Springs, being an invalid. - Mr. Downing, Horticulturist, who was also lost, was on his way to Newport. Mrs. L. S. Haskell, of Laurel Hill, N. J., was not on hoard the boat with her husband, and the report that she was drowned is erroneous. Mr. Haskell escaped safely. The Coroner's inquest has been-progressing all the morning; Professor Bailey, of West Point, and John L. Thompson, of Lancaster, were examined as witnesses. .ECOND DESPATCH NEW Yortir, July 29, 10 P. M. Thus far 52 dead bodies have been recovered from the wreck of the Henry Clay. Many others aro known todiave been lost. There is intenseln dignation here. NEW Yoax, July 30. Fifty-nine bodies have thus far been received ' from the river at the point where the steamer Hen ry Clay was burnt. Lucius Robinson, a well known member of the bar of this city, is missing, and is supposed to have been one of the victims of the disaster. Tho hull of the steamer is be to raised to-morrow by the owners, who have published a card saying that the boat was racing, and Baying that an agree ment had been entered into by the owners of both boats not to race. Or - marl who ET 'On Sunday morning last, a man who gave his name as Williams, called at the Livery Stable . of Mr: John B. Edwards, and hired a horse and buggy to go Safe Harbor. He said he would re turn in the evening, or early on Monday morning; but nothing has since been heard of him, or of the horse buggy. Mr. Edwards, who offers a reward of $50,00 for the recovery of his property, and $20,00 for the arrest of the man, thinks that he was one of the gang who attempted to rob the house of Mr. Isaac Pfdutz, in Perry county, on Saturday night of last week.—Columbia Spy. *ewe Items.

The battle lasted two days, but finally the brave Captain and his slender force were compelled to yield to the superior num bers of the foel The Indians are reported to be gathering in large numbers near the fort. • Txs Yourr.Trsiss.—The Louisville Courier gives a prOmising account of the coming pork harvest.— Throughout Kedtucky and Indiana there is a large increase of tins this season, which are worth ten per cent. more tlaan they were last, owing, it is said to the fact that the farmers are feeding them on corn. The sanie account is given of Ohio. The Courier says: Already some operators in Louisville have pur chased for delivery early in the fall, some 20.000 hogs, which wilt be fattened in Indiana, and will be delivered in tbelFalls city at $3 to $3,25, gross.— Some days ago N -e stated that several large sized lots bad been contracted for at Madison, at $4,50 net. A provisiin dealer at Louisville has agreed to deliver next spring a lot of new mess pork--to be manufacturelil from the coming crop—at $l5, which is nearly $5 per bbl. less than at present prices. HUMPEIRET 4LIISIIALL NOMINATED FOR Cal NA.— We learn from Washington, that Hon. H. Marshall, (M. C. from Ky.,) has been nominated as Minister to China. The China Mission was created not many years since, and was filled under the Tyler Admin istration, by Caleb Cushing, who (Rev. Mr. Parker acting as Interpreter, and Fletcher Webster, Secre tary,) made an important treaty. The place was also filled by Alexander H. Everett, of Mass., who died soon alter on his way out, and it was filled un der Mr. Polk's Administration, by John W. Davis, of la, formerly Sbeaker of the House of Representa tives and President of the last Democratic National Convention. Title office has no outfit or ink and the pay is $6OOO per annum as a Resident Minister. . A Bean FIGNT.—The Portland Argus relates an almost incredible story of a bear fight which is said to have transpired in Andover, North Surplus. Ox ford county, Maine, on Thursday week. As Erastus Bean.-a young [man of twenty years, was haying in his field, accorppanied by a boy of twelve, named Dunn, he looked up and saw near him a large black bear, of the white faced breed, (the most savage of the black verily.) Having taken his gun with him to shoot partri ges, he caught it up and fired at the brute, but with little effect, the bear in the mean time graduallyjclosing upon bin While preparing to fire a second time Bev:. :di to the ground, and the be, spra tg up tiim arid bit and scratched him, severely , -,ating his flesh. Bean finally run his hand ai „rm gown the bear's throat, and the boy conni. 1 - the rescue, took horn Bean's pocket 4 , a ,jack-knife, l l •ith which he, with his untrammelled nand, cut the bears throat from ear to ear, killing him si'ime. des , while he lay on his body! lie then threw the beast off, notified his friends, had his wounds dressH, and is now comfortable. It was judged the bear weighed nearly four hundred pounds! Otte of his palvs, which the informant of the Argus saw, weighed two pounds, eleven ounces. This beats all the genuine bear fights we ever heard of. THE INDIt .MAssAcns.—The report of the mas sacre of Cap . Marcy and his command, near Fort Smith, is confirmed by further dispatches received from St. Loins, which give some of the particulars of the melancholy affair. The Philadelphia Bulle tin gives the following information in relation to the gallant officer who has been so ruthlessly mur dered by the savages:— Capt. Randolph B. Marcy, belonged to the Fifth Regiment 01 U. S. Infantry. He was about forty years of age , and, we believe, a native of New Hamp shire, but Only distantly related to Ex-Governor Marcy, of New York, instead of being his son, as stated in the despatch. He was a thoroughly ac complished 'soldier, and a most estimable man in all the relations of life. He was among the most gal lant officers! of the little force that won the first bat tles on the Rio Grande under Gen. Taylor; and, be ing wounded at Resaca de I.a Palma, he was placed on recruiting duty, and spent a year or two at Har risburg, in I this State. After the war he was or dered to the Indian frontier, and was entrusted by Government with the arduous duty of commanding ing escort to Santa Fe, and exploring a new route to that place, a service which he performed with great credit!. Several other tasks of delicacy were executed by him to the entire satisfaction of the Department) His last orders were to command an expedition tb select a site and establish a fort on the remote south-western frontier, and it is in this ser vice that he has fallen. He leaves a widow, who is at one ( the distant military stations, and sev eral children. BOSTON, July 29.—Capt. Whalan of the fishing schooner Flying Cloud, arrived at Gloucester from the Bay of St. Lawrence, reports about 300 Ameri can vessels in the bay, and mackerel rather scarce. Capt. La4old, of the brigantine Halifax; was in the bay, and informed Capt. Whalan that his orders were to seize all vessels found fishing within the line laid doWn by the British Government. This liner cuts off our Vessels from fishing on all the grounds except in the neighborhood of Gasp and Magdalen Islands. The distance from this line to the shore in some points is 50 or 60 miles. An other restriction has been placed upon our vessels in the shao of an anchorage duty of 6d. per ton, in all the provinces. The fishing vessels have been obliged heretofore to pay a duty at Canso, and now they are obliged to pay this anchorage at the other Provinces in addition, which is something never re quired heft:ire. The schooner Gen. Cushing, from the Bay of St. Lawrence, arrived at Newburyport yesterday. She makes the following report: Left the gulf of Canso, Sa'turday, 24th inst., and spoke on that day schoo ner Freeman, of Wellfleet, who reported that on the day previohs they saw a British steam frigate with two American fishing vessels in tow, off Gasp Heart —how far.from the land not stated. There were 11 British vessels of war on the fishing grounds, and four others fitting out at St. John. NEW I:flax, July 28.—The steam frigate Missis sippi, Capt. AlcClunney, sailed this afternoon with great desplatch, under secret orders from Washing ton. Her destination is supposed to be the New foundland'fisheries.

Gorm- ' ley so particularly to the notice of anti readers.— But, upon reflection, they must know that it is our duty to act for the public good. This gentleman, by cash operations, has succeeded in bringing the price of superfine Clothing within the reach of the whole community. Whilst others use every effort to make large profits, he has struck out in a differ ent course, which he has steadilt followed, using every exertion to sell superior goods at the lowest ,possible price, making his extensive business done at a few cents profit on , each article,sufficient, from the fact of the vast quantity sold. Large sales and small profits, is his motto, which principle is carried out to the fullest extent. The large stock and endless variety, the style, superior fit, and ele gant workmanship, are of such a character as to justify us in recommending our friends who are in want of good and cheap Clothing to go to Joseph Gormley's, North Queea street, opposite the Frank lin House, (Sener's) where you will be sure to find them in any quantity, at the Great Clothing Bazaar.
