MOftE or TOE WEST TIONA Fu.svristranummvoss. —The Bermuda Royal Gazette, of July 18th, con tains.the following important news relative to the Slave insurrection at Santa Cruz : We learn that accounts had reached St. Tohmas from Santa Cruz; - ofan insurrection among thit slave population of that island, of the massacre of some of the white inhabitants, and of the &mime uou by fire of a number of the estates. The work of the incendiary was still progressing. as the fires cold -bs seen from St. Thomas at the time of the Lark's leaving. The Dutch Government having emancipated their slaves conditionally only,—their serving an apprenticeship of twelve years—had led to this pro ededing, and it WWI understood that their imme diati3 freedom would be guaranteed to them it they would cease taking the lives of the whites and stay the destruction of property. The Governor of St. Thomas fearing a similar outbreak was about to declare, in the name of his Government, immediate freedom to the slaves on that Island. The white inhabitants were all armed, and measures were being taken to put down by force, it possible, any insubordination, The Go vernor had requested Captain Barnett ..to remain a few days to afford them 'assistance. Santa Croz is one of the Canibe Islands, and coctained in 1807 about twenty-five thousand blacks a id two thousand whites. Titz Counto,: IN New Yorte.--The fatal acci. dent, an accovnt pf which was telegraphed to this city on Tlinrsdafinght, is thus described in the New York *raid of yestenlay : A fatal accident, the result of carelessness, oc curred yesterday afternoon, near the Catharine it ferry. Th e ferry boat Independanc.e, on way to Brooklyn, was run into by the sloop eding, of Bridgeport, just forward of the w house, by which a chad of Mr. Robinson, of Madison Street, was killed, elarge. piece of? wood having sisick it on the head. A man, 'whose name was not ascertained, bad his arm broken ' s_ and several cthers were slightly injured. The nurse who had •the child in her arms was considerably hurt, and a man jumped overboard, who was immediate ly picked up by a small boat near try. It appear. ed that theAloop was coming down the river, with no one on the watch, and when the pilot of the ferry boat ei covered the sloopcoming immeliately on the bdat, he had theengine reserv i ei, and called to the captain' of the sloop, but there ® being no one for ward his call was not heard. He then bad the ferry boht backed, and again called to those on the sloop; bat was not seen until too late to obviate the collision. That was the most substantial boat on the terry, but was considerably injured by the blow from the sloop. There were many persons who witnessed the accident, and all charge it to the carelejieness of those on the sloop. &scrum Cascor Inextrry.—The Pittsburg Dia paich-tif Monday, Mates the following: ‘For'some weeks past mueh excitement has been existing in Beaver and aisitind it, relative to the at tempts of a man named Mirth, formerly of Fayette county, to pass for Dated ifitcilo, son of General Mitchell, (formerely of Centre county,) ex-Canal Commissioner, who was one of the Duquesne Greys, and died in ibeHospittal at Puebla, where he was buried. Old Mr. Michell was so complete ly deceived by a slight resemblance to his son, as to receive him into his family—bin a daughter, not so easily imposed upon, is 'said to have left the beluga in conseq_nence. For a time public opinion was dividedlas to the identity of Davin, some in. isistmg he wits Mitchell, others as vehemently. ,de nying it—btit now it is strongly against him.— Colonel Blak and others denounce him as an in famous impositor." The. fellow bas since been arrested and confined n jail. FROM Coss.—The Charleston Mercury is inform. ed by a pareenger by the schr.

If the irerth lame ail' important measure to be promoted, it may sleep for months and yeart upon' the tables of the same Sensorial body. But when the slave interest has a point to cany, all islife and bugle inane body. Nights and Sundays are not even given to rest until the three' handredthousand slave holders are gratified. Such was the case with the annexation of Texas. How was it with Oregon, the twin' sister of Texas I How is it with the Branch Mint in New York, How is it with the subject of cheap .postage ? The moment dav rutters its behests, every ear is open to hear; when other interests plow' for attention, they must wait till the Senate is pelfectly at leisure. The new plan of a compromise proposed, by a committee, of ettic.h Mr. Calhoun is a member, Ind adopted. with his consent, doesnot materially differ, solar as nigtrars the provinces of New Mex iCo and Catfornie, frobitfin plan accordingto which that gentleman has fnalpfehtly expressed his desire that the question should be rattled. With regard to the territory . of Oregon, the qiiettion is given up. So instant is the necessity of a government, tor that country, that- the friends of slavery are not willing to confront any longerthe odium of declin ing to provide one, fiord° they venture to take the responsibility of insisting upon a government,, in which the desire of the inhabitants to exclude slaw ry shall be disregarded. They therefore propose to continue in force in laws panned by the present temporary government of Oregon, among which is statute prohibiting slavery, until others shall be passed by the territorial legislature created under the provisions of the bill. The slaveholders have no hope of introducing slavery into Oregon, nor are they willing to-attempt theimperin . tent of trying to trust them an institution so much detestedrhere, that its inhabitants would probably, if no othcr mode remained, eject it by violence. They there. fore agree in recommeding what they have hither to pretended to Where is a violation of the constit ution, namely, that Congress shall sanction the express exclusion of slavery from the territory by law, it wonderful with what facility these sere pulousitatesmen cooperate in a violation of the con stitution when their 'MOM are not concerned to to oppose-it. But with regard to the provinces of New Mexico and California, it is intended that they shall be a market for slaves; and here, accordingly, a stand is made; here the scruples of the slave holders res pecting the constitntron are revived in all their force. The bill, therefore, does not sanction the pres ent laws of those provinces, among which is one prohibiting personal slavery. It provides what some body calls the lowest, and what we add, le:the worst form of territorial government, consisting of a Go vernor, Judges and a Secretary, whe are to make the laws, but who are expressly forbidden to make any law respecting slavery, and it directs that all questions respecting the rights of property to be enjoyed by persons removing into the territory which is a genteel circumlocution for the power of a mas ter over the person of his slave, are to be decided by the United States courts, with the rights of ap pealr from the territorial Courts to the Supreme Thie f if the bill became. a law amounts to a renunciation of all authority on a pak of Congress to leas: I . ate - on the question of slavery. It - first takes thequestion ant of the.hands of the territorial government, and next takes it out of the .bands of Congress. A Governor and Judges appointed by the President, himself perhaps a slaveholder, or their thstrument, and who will therefore be likely to take them from elaveholdiug states, are to frame the laws. Territorial judges appointed by the same authority are to administer them. Under these circumstance, both in making and alcninistering the laws, the greatest facilities may be expected to.,be-t given to the slave owner in transplanting the peculiar institution Of the south to the new region. Though there is no power given to legislate directly on the subject of slavery, in direct advantages way be given In a thousand ways to the slaveholder. The territorial judges, iii taken from the south will, of course, decide in favor of the slaveholder. If au appeal should be taken from their decision to the Supreme court of the United States, that hi. banal is filled with so many members from the south, that there is no certainty that its decisions would be in favor of freedom. Talk as we may of the impartiality of our courts, a judge from the southern states, alliea to the aristocracy of these states, would share their prejudices and deride according to their viers. This cempromis is thensforei an ingenious method giving Mr. Calhoun his Own way in the controversy It is a concession of everything by circumlocution —stripping Congress of the power of legislation on the subject of slavery, denying the power to the governments of the provinces newly annexed. Congress may pass it, but it will not quiet the agitation. The free soil party will.not be satisfied with any thing short of an express confirmation similar tothat wtich is proposed in the case of Oregon, of the present laws of New Mexico and California, in favor of -persanalfreedom: For that it will struw,le as W arps there is a voice or a vote left. - Sonoma JHuitoza.—The body of a women was found in the Canal, at Schuylkill Haven, on Satur- day last, and upon examination it was believed that she has been murdered.

Curren: axe was or uzz—One of the oat heart rendering calamities that we have lately to record, occurred about? o'clock on Thursday . ening last, on the levee opposite the Ursoline vent.. On Tuesday last a small pardon of the I vee at that spot . gave way end! sank, and some ' were entertained at the time that a larger por on would soon break oft. On the evening we have spoken of, some men were engaged in driving pick ;down at the place where the bank had given y in order to prevent the levee from further wear away by the action of the water. Some fifteen rural persons, who reside near the place, were on the bank, viewing the deer and men work, when about 200 feet of the levee in length, end $0 feet in width, suddenly gave way, and with out a moment's warning six human beings were inshered into eternity. We Itriva learned the names !of only sit persaw., as yet, who- were drowned, but it is asserted that others who it present are not !known were lost. The names of the victims, as we have learned them, we Mrw.!lfypoline Tromp and child, about eight months old Fanny Troump, aged nine years; Louise Treump,aged seven years; Felix Troump,agetwenty-four years ;Miss Charlotte 1 Drake and Franc is Andry. The death a Mrs. Troump and child was the most agonizing portion of the tenable scene: The spot upon which she stood, instead of rolling over into the-water as most of thebank did settled down beneath her leaving her standing with her child raised above her head, with the. true feelings of a mother, and calling until she had nearly disapr ed upon some one to save her child. Her husband who was but a short distance froth her, rushed to wards the spot,, and when within a few feet of her a large pile °fantod fell over end crushed her be neath it. Thuuntommate man, who had thus lost all be held dear at &Moir" could with difficulty be restrained from plunging into the water and going thorn with hitt hirnily. Heyeatefiley presented the most melancholy spectacle we have ever looked upon.,Without noticing crowed that was Con gregatd about• the place, he rowed over the spot in a small boat from morning till night, vainly search ing for the remains of his lost family. None of the budiesqrad been recovered last evening.—N. 0. , Pic, 15th. The Commercial Bulletin- says it is rendered certain that fifteen persons wire lost by this awful calamity, and copinues : "As far as we can learn" the accident ceznrred eye:fly as all similar ones have happened. The late high water had tandem. fined the bank, and in descending, left it whhoot the accustomed support of its pressur4, and of coarse ins own weight com pelling it to fall. The breach is now at least 200 feet in frog by 60 bet deep extending as far back as the street, and when oar reporter left last even ing, at 8 o'clock, detached' pottiess of it were still falling.

A Moses/err TO Sursw:—'Fasacts R Sue sir was no ordinary man. The high and sincere regard en tertained-for him, as a man and public officer, by the people—men of all parties,--and the great pu rity and Uprightness which marked his conduct in every position, designated him as one whose teem - ory deserves to be perpetuated, and whose life may be regarded/as worthy of imitation by those of the present and (Inure generations. - .Especially is this true of him,, as a public ! o ffi cer.. !Of him, we feel that it can be truly said that during his entire pub lic career, he was always honest?—always faithful, in the performance of his official. duties. Monuments are erected, to those who die on the battlefield. But it is more propel that they should be erected to the patriotic warrior than to the patri otic datesmfln, who, like Shonk,; dies not only in the service of the State long and 'faithfully ! We do not, think isio : and we therefore, suggest that the people of Pennsylvania erect a monument in mem ory of him Who will ever be esteemed as a good citizen, a trite patriot, and an honest and faithful public servant. ' We hope the approaching Democratic Sate Con vention will consider this subject. Let that body appoint au Executive Committee, to take char g e o the proposed work, and also a Collecting.
