THE EVENING STAB DISASTER. nvesfgation by the Treasury Depart ment---More Stringent Laws Needed for the Govern ment of Our Mer chant Marine. ' (Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 1866.—Captain W. M. Mew, in charge of the administration of she steamboat laws in the Treasury Depart ment, who was directed to examine into the case of the disaster to the steamer Evening Star on the 3d ult., has submitted his report to the Secretary of the Treasury. The object in view in making the investigation was not so much to determine the degree of the culpability which should attach to the owners of the Evening Star, should the ex amination prove the correctness of the com mon report and universal belief that the ship had been sent to sea in an unworthy condition, as to decide a question of much interest to the department, whether or not the inspectors in New York had given a certificate of seaworthiness to a ship un sound in hull, engines or boilers, and had thus rendered themselves directly responsi ble for the loss of two hundred and fifty lives. In order to satisfactorily determine this point it was necessary to examine into the general history of the ship. The testimony of J. A. Raynor, ex 'Superintendent of the New York Steamship Company, to which the vessel belonged, and also that of her builders, show that she was built in 1863, the specifications with the con tractors calling for a first-class steamship. , She was built of good materials and appa rently in a most substantial manner. The engine, though somewhat old, was of suffi cient capacity and power for the ship, and in neither the engines nor boilers did any detect exist, nor was any damage observed until the breaking of the steamship, about two ands half hours before the sinking of the vessel. The vessel was provided with all the life-boats required by law (six in number), besides one additional wooden boat twenty feet in length. It occurred to Captain Mew that she might have been injured at Some time by getting -ashore, or by straining in a heavy seaway when deeply laden, and that not being pro perly repaired the disaster might have been in a measure attributable to weakness in her hulL On making inquiries it was ascer tained that in May . last she struck on Pickle Reef, Florida remaming on: it fifty hours,but finally getting off and continuing on her way to New Orleans, apparently without having received any damage, and that she made another trip after the accident, en :countering a heavy gale in the Golf of Mexico, without leaking or appearing to be injured. It was, however, thought best to overhaul her, and she was accordingly placed on the ways in July, when it was 'discovered that the keel was somewhat damaged, and the damaged part was re moved, and replaced by a new piece. She was then thoroughly examined and found in good condition, and the evidence gene rally shims that up to the time of her last trip from New York she was a good, ser -vieeable and seaworthy vessel. After referring to the departure of the vessel from New York and the incidents 'occurring during the earlier part of the trip the report gives a description of the posi tion and condition of the vessel when the storm was encountered. Notwithstanding the violent lee lurches made while the ship was in the trough of the sea no evidence of 'leaks through the hull appeared; bat the heavy seas finally smashed in the forward -gangway on the seaboard side, and the water came in in torrents. Great efforts were made to prevent its ingress, but with out avail, and attention was then turned to bailing her out. Here there is a painful -evidence of the necessity of every seagoing ship being provided with a competent ship's -carpenter and furnished with the proper ;as ores of timber, lumberstc.,for itis probable that had the Evening Star been so provided et bulkhead of sufficient strength might have been erected to keep out the seas. The water forced its way into the engine-room, and all hands were set at work to keep it down, in order that the fires might not be extin guished, but with little success. At about Three A. M. on the day of the disaster the steam pipe gave way, and about two hours later the fires were put out by the water. After these calamities it was seen that all 'efforts to save the ship were useless, and preparations were made to leave, as she was discovered'to be settling. Then followed the indescribable, heart-rending scene§ which have so harrowed the public mind and demanded a thorough and impartial inquiry. At about six P. M. the vessel sunk,taldng down with her about two hun dred victims. During the examination no satisfactory evidence was adduced by which it could be determined -whether or not all the boats were properly equipped agree ably to an order of the captain. It is certain, however, that none were found by those who were saved provided with anything in= the shape of food or spars: but inasmuch as one or two were capsized it is possible that they might • have been provisioned and the stores washed •out, It is also certain that, while she had all the boats which the law requires (seven 11 . I all), she had not, half enough to save the number of persons on board, nor were the boats fitted with the proper detaching ap-. Etaratus. It is believed that the disaster is a Measure attributable to the mismanage ent of the captain of the vessel, who failed to adopt the proper -expedients for keeping her out of the trough of the sea, but it is possible that he `mayhave been deterred from making any attempts by reason of the THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1566.---TRIPLE SHEET. limited crew.. In conclusion, Captain-Mew says: " The loss of the ship is noVwithont its appropriate lesson to shipowners, and tu the absence of any laws affecting the sub= ject I Sincerely trust that their attention will be directed to the necessity which exists for the' more contplete manning,' equipping and furnishing of the American' marine generally, to the end that the same may be elevated to that point of pre-ems; *' ileum above that of other nations to which it is invited by the unequaled re sources of the country—a degree ef positive security of life at sea ; and that the proba bility or possibility of the loss of life in ordi nary voyages may be reduced to a minimum is possible of attainment without much out lay, and which some of the larger comp anies (,'furnish exceptions by the care shown m the equipment of their ships. As to the maces- city of legislation on this subject, it is none the less certain that the enactment of stritt.' gent laws governing our merchant marine is an absolute necessity. I therefore beg re spectfully to call your attention to this mat ter, in the hope that radical changes in the existing laws may be suggested to Con gress." COAL. KANSAS.—The Leavenworth limes says that "coal has- at rlength been found on the Government Reserve in Kan sas. The vein was struck at a depth of five hundred and eighty feet. At ,first it was supposed to be nothing but slate, but after going through the vein, which is three feet thick, the drill was withdrawn and the clippings pumped up, when it proved to be superior to the Lexington coal."

The publisher, from long experience in the publics, Lion ot similar works, of which the Pennsylvania State Business Direct°. y is a specimen, proposes, at the so licitation of a number of influential merchants of this city who have suffered from the iII&CCIIISCieg of for mer edidons, to publish the above Directory from an actual and carefully prepared canvass. of 100 city by an efficient and experienced corps of canvassers, tho roughly educated to the husinen w:rk; will contain a FULL 'Y DIRE TORY.

Religions, and other in terests of the city. In a city comprising so large a number of streets. so greatly 'nattered, and in which E net' a vast amount of changes have been made during the past few yeani. the actual want of a systematically arranged. and carefully compiled street and avenue directory is ap parent to every citizen and businesa man who has re , course to the directory, and especially to the stranger_ wr o is entirely unscquainted• with the Location and numeralizatien of the. streets. • The form of the Street Directory will be so arranged as to give at a glee ce the beginning of the street with any other name it may formerly have bad. with italn terseCtiOne right and left, and numbers thereon to its end, and will form a feature of the :work, exhibiting not only the extent and number of the street's, buX ftom any stand point, definite and correct in formation of any locality sought. With the reputation of pest publications. which have afforded perfect eatist.ction, it will be his aim to make this book equal If not superior, to' any issued by blin. and requests that the canvassers for this work will be aftbrded the necessary inforixia , Lon they requtre for it. as without such ald, a rellabas directory cannot, be. issued. , . , • Ai an advertising medium, merchants and' others will find this an excellent opportanot: terms will be made known by the canvassers and in no case will the payment be sanctioned till the book is published.
