Four Lives Lost—Remainder` of the Pass' en - gers.Rescued.—T4eburning, on Tuesday morn- Of thesteam ferry boat City cif - Nimar , plying c between New York city and Newark, N. J., in the bay off Robin's Reef, was rather a frightful affair, - and came near being a very serious one.—She had on board about seventy five pa'ssengers, and great confusion and con sternation prevailed. There was a quantity of tar on board, which soon' caught fire, and accelerated the destruction of the boat, and in creased the fright and confusion 'among the passengers., Fortunately the steam tuks Achilles 'ad Commodore, and the steamboat Thomas Hunt, were in her vicinity, and iin mediately went; to her relief. By the aid of the captains and crews of these steamers near ly all the passengers were taken off and land ed in safety. From various Statements, how .. ever, it appears certain that one woman, and probably two, others and a child, ;were drown ed. Capt. Gedney; of the Achilles, - says: "When he reached her he boarded, putting the bow of the' tug on her starboard quarter : npOnthis portion of the boat there were most ly women and children, who were almost un managealile from fright and suffering, some having their eyebrows burnt off, others their hat strings, and some their hats burned and hair singed'; they were tumbled over the bows into the tug very unceremoniously; some of the crew of the tug took the small boat and as sisted all they' could in the rescue of those on the forward part of the steamer. The only accident was with those in the small boat, -which, owing to the rush of people, was once capsized and all who were in her turned into the water, 'three or four of whom, Ciptain Gedney thinks, were drowned—a 'man, two children and a woman—though he is unable to state positively as to any; 'that is tbe iin pression of those who were by." A. lady passenger who was on board with her little boy' says : "Every thing was in the wildest confusion. —The stern of the boat was so crowded that in order to escape the flames I was obliged to climb 'over the railing and Walk along the edge of the boat outside, holding myself on by the railing and holding my boy . at the'same time. By this time the awning on the upper deck had caught fire; and the cinders were drop Ping down upon us. My dress was badly , burned. Just before the Thomas Hunt reached us boat had been lowered, 'and I saw several men and .two women jump into it The boat im inediately. capsized, and I think both' of the women were drowned.—One of them was a stout Irishwoman, and the other a young lady in a pink dress.' 'An old gentleman, whose -Darnels Samuel Powers, a farmer from West moreland county; was rescued by Capt.'White, 'of the Thomas Hunt, just as' he was sinking the' third tithe. The railing of our boat, to which the cable was fastened, came near giv -ing ; and if it had, there - . • ; • been a great loss of life, as the passengers were all' crowding up against it, preparing to' jump on board the Thomas Hunt." Charles Runels; one'of the hands on board, stated that a woman tried to jump into the lit tle boat; and fell in 'the water, whereupon he leaped in to save her, and was dragged to the bottom.---He succeeded in rising with her to the surface of the water, but was dragged back again, and almost drowned, so that he had to tear himself from her to save his own life. The burning steamer was then towed to the Jersey flats, where'she now lies sunk in about — l5 feet of water. The bbireiistaliout - $15;00 I, and is insured for only $5,000. Steamboat Explosilm and Loss of Life. . . . . MONTREAL, June 10.—The.explosion of the boilers of the Grand Trunk. steamer near Lon genii occurred this .morning at one o'clock. The boat, is a. complete wreck. The number lined is estimated at twenty, and the wounded between thirty and forty. Killed—two engi neers, Mr. Malden, ,mail conductor, Mr. Hun ter, the pilot, a boy, two firemen, one woman, . Scofield, an engiheer, and Henry Ballery. -The u of the boat was severely injured, and is not expected to live. Major Johnson and lady were thrown into the river, but escaped. , l'ifty passengers re -main unaccounted for. Burning of U. S. Military Asylum in Ken iu,cky.—We have private information to the ef fect that the U. S. military asylum at Harrods burg, Ky., was,hurnt down last Sunday week. This is one or the asylums the site of which vas selected by Gen. Scott in 1852 under a special commission of the government. The cost was.sloo,ooo. The fire was communica ted 'accidentally.—Lynchlnag Virginian. An English, Fillibuster Rewarded.—The British East India Company has just voted Lord Dalhousie, late Governor-General of In dia, a pension of $✓5,000 a year, as a mark of its appreciation of his services during his ad ministration, by which four kingdoms, besides lesser territories, were added to the compa ny's possessions; and an annual tribute of twenty-two millions was imposed upon the in habitants. One of the English Journals, speaking of this matter, attempts to gloss this act of fillibustering by showing that misrule and revolution had ruined the country, and that to save, it was necessary to appropriate it. "A wrong was done, but a great benefit was conferred." After the avowal of this doc trine as good political morality, we expect that the British Journals will begin to praise Walker. His conduct is certainly more justi fiable than Dalhousie's, for Walker was invit ed into Nicaragua by the people, and he as sists them to maintain their own government, whereas the rulers of Pnnjaub, 'P' egu, Nag pore, and Oude had to be conquered .before their territory was seized upon.—Sun.

Loris, June' 9.—An extra Westport Times. of the sth says reliable news has been received of the burning of the town of Bernard, Kansas. The free State men on the night of the 3d destroyed from twelve to fifteen, thous and dollars' worth of proper A company_ three hundred abolitionists, the same ac count says, captured the town of Franklin, being opposed by fifteen pro-slavery men.— Three persons are reported killed. The fight lasted an hour., The Congressional investigating committee aro still here. • The, steamer Grey Cloud has arrived from St. Pierre, after aii absence of nearly one year, bringing intelligence of the adjustment of the difficulties with the Sioux Indians, according to the stipulations of the council of March last. The Indians delivered up twelve prison ers, horses, mules, &c:, and promised obedi ence to. -the government. The operations against the Sioux_ Indians had accordingly been closed. Gen. Harney set the prisoners free after a few days detention only. Farther from Kann. CHICAGO, Jane 11.—The later arrivals from Kansas confirm the accounts of civil war in that territory. Twenty-one Missourians, Car olinians and Alabamians have been killed in different engagements, and several Free State men wounded, but none killed. The U. S. troops 'generally disperse the forces after the the battles have been finished. Gov. ShannOn's proclamation has prodnced . no effect.-,Gen. Robinson has been removed from Lecompton to Leavenworth. The re ported death of Marshal Donaldson is incorrect. Further from Kansas, ST. Louts, June 12.—The latest news- re ceived from Kansas states that Marshal Don aldson was still alive. Col. Sumner, with United States troops, was dispersing all the armed bands of both parties, and some pros pects of peace prevailed. A letter to the Democrat, dated Lawrence, June 6th, says : Mr. Upton, the Sergeant-at- Arms.of the investigating committee, was de tained prisoner for one day , by Buford's men. Whitfield's, command of three hundred men, near Prairie city, were ordered to disper6e, and did so, but re-formed again, and a strong company of United States troops, were watch ing, ready to intercept their movements., "Slalenzent of an Eye-Wiiness."—We see travelling the rounds of the - Republican papers a statement furnished the Boston Journal by a Dr. Bunting, -of Montreal, who claims to have been an ".eye-witness" of the assault up on Senator Sumner. The following is a part of this statement: the assault wail -progressing, Mr. Keitt stood with one hand.flourishing:a large cane to keep off any person disposed to inter fere, with the other hand holding a pistol be hind him partially under the flap-of his coat, but which Dr. Bunting saw very distinctly projectinc , from between the flaps of his cost. During the attack Senator Douglas stood with in five feet of Mr. Sumner, in a free and easy position; rithtoth-hands in his pockets, his hat on, and . making no movement towards the as-: sailant." It is' hardly necessary for us to inform our readers that every word of this is false. Sen ator Douglas was not in the Senate chamber when the assault , was committed, and Mr. Keitt occupied no such position as is attribut ed to him. The Dr. Bunting whO makes the statement is an imposter swindler and vil lain, altogether too well known in this city to need an extended notice from us. We expect to hear of. him next as "Lieutenant-Colonel" Bunting, direct from Kansas, where he was an eye-witness of the "burning of Lawrence'!"-- Providence (I?. I.) Post. Egg Powder.—A patent has lately been ta ken out in, England, - fe --- r — the manufacture o Egg powder. The .process consists in taking fresh eggs, breaking them, and placing their matter m proper shallow trays, where they are : • atecl-to4-str-eam-of-ntodera e • - t. evaporate all the moisture. When perfectly dry, they are reduced to powder, in a proper mill, and are employed for the making of pas try, &c. The air for drying the eggs must not -be allowed. to exceed 130 deg; th - e object ii - to evaporate the moisture, and not to,coagulate the albumen, so as to render the . egg powder soluble in water. This manner of preparing eggs .for market, might be pursued by some persons in our distant rural districts, says the Scientific American, with as much profit as preparing and drying fruit. tove — Pipes.—Linseed — oit — lald - upon stove pipes when warm (not hot)-and kept at a low temperature five or s 4 Wours, will impart a fine lustre.

PILLS. will cure Asthma and all disorders of the Chest.—Henry Vincent, of Selma, Alabama, was almost a martyr to asthma for nineteen years, which literally shook hlm to pieces. and made him as thin as a skeleton, so that he neither enjoyed rest by night or by day. He tried many things for the cure of this complaint. but they did not benefit him.
