IMPORTANT SUlT.—Jeremiah Van Rena
eelaer has brought a suit in Equity,
Wore Justice Thompson and Betts, of the
United States Circuit Court against ,the
Executors and devizees of John Watts de•
coveted, to recover possession of the prop
erty, consisting of about 75,000 acres of
land, formerly known as 'Claverack Man
or,' in this county.—The claim is founded
on the following facts.
In the year 1782, John Van Rensselaer,
the•elder,lord oldie lower manor of Rens
selaerwick. (usually termed Claverack
Manor,)in Columbia county, devised the
manor,in trust, for his grandson, John I
Veit ensselaer, who was to have the ren's
during his life, and then it was to be entail
ed, for ever on his male heirs. Soon after
the making of the will, an act passed,abol
ishing the principle of entail,and declaring
that persons so holding should be consider
ed as possessing a fee simple. In 1764
John I. sold the manor fur $40,000, and
it has since remained in possession of the
parties purchasing, or their assignees.—
No covenant as to the guarantee to the
tie appears to have been given. Much of
of the property has since passed into other
hands. John I. died in 1327; and the
present action was brought by his eldest
surviving son,vvho resides in another State,
and claims possession of the property on
that John I. had no right tp sell it, not
possessing a right fee simple under the act,
but merely a life interest, and that the en
tell could not have effect till after his
death.
If this suit should be detel tnined
vor of the plaintiff. it will invilidate the ti
tles to 53M0 of the finest farms in the Slate,
and doubtless cause much litigation. Hud

Terrible Disaster.
We are pained to record another sad
disaster, attended with loss of life, in our
waters. At about 12 o'clock yesterday,
the towboat Phenix, Capt. A onable, having
in tow the ship Flavius, from Liverpool,
burst three of her boilers, when just'below
Carrollton, scalding and otherwise injuring
neatly every person on the Phenix, of
whom three men, named Charles Davis,
an . Irishman, John, a Portuguese, and
George. an American, were instantly knock
ed overboard and diowned. John Clarke
the Pilot of the Phenix, severe'y scalded,
and not expected to live. James Skinner,

-In addition to the above, five firemen,

whom died last evening.

The great body of the blue noses are
much dissatisfied witti. a majority of the
candidates nominated at the Convention
last Wednesday, and some of them make
no ccneealmeut of their intention to oppose
a portion of the ticket. We think they
are right, for with two or three exceptions,
it is the worst ticket that was ever presen
ted to the A ntimasonic party.
The blue noses will find before the elec
tion that they have made a great mistake in
severing their connexion with the whigs in
such a summary manner, and that, thrown
into the contest as they are now, withou
the zealous aid of the old leaders who
brought them victory in former campaigns,
they wi.l encounter much difficulty in whip-
ping the ahippablu articles" into the an
timasonic traces. Power seems to be fast
slipping front the hands of the Morganites,
and as their strength fails, their prudence
and management also leave them. Their
tampering with the abolitionists in the
March Convention, caused so much disgust
that many abandoned the Simon lures,
and favored the policy of the whigs, and
then the treacherous manner in which they
treated the abolitionists Wednesday,
has excited a strong foeling of indignation
in that party against them, and to ill cause
it to desire their defeat.
It is thus every day becorni ng mole ap
parent that antimasonry is on "its last
legs;" the tyranny and inconsistency of the
would be leaders, are slowly but surely
working its ruin, tind in a short time Al

much merriment. A strapping black porgy

a man's head, and picked it from the wag—
on, when its weight, for it contained gold,
pulled the colored gentleman into the gut

down with an axe and killed her—then
killed a small child and cut its head off.—
They then robbed the house, and found

Living without , Vep. —A recent nurns
ber of the I.l,)stott Medical and Surgical
Journal contains a letter lion Mr Robert
F Gourley, giving an account of his ex
traordinary skepiessiteBs. According to
Mr G's own account, he was liist bereft of
sieep in the year 1833 for ail( weeks,
when about 40 years of age. Prior to
that time he had never suffered fur want
of sleep, ilthough at times a little sufficed
for refreshment. Mr G. was confined in
London, as he alleges by British tyranny,
three years and eight months, and it was
during th;s period, he thinks, that a habit
of living without sleep began to form.—
During his coufinement be felt very little
need of sleep, and the greater part of his
time in bed, which was never more than
six hours in the twenty•four, wa, given to
reveries, chiefly, he declares "as toschemes
for bettering the condition of the laboriug
poor of England," &e.
Soon after hia liberation, having first
visited Scotland, he left Edinburgh for
America. Ile had no sleep until he reach
ed Liverpool, where he took a warm bath
before going to bed. This had the th
sired effect, and procured him a few hours
of repose. The next morning he embark
ed for New York, which he reached in
-12 dap, withoi:t hiving one wink of sleep.
Irmnediately on landing at N. Y• lie pros
cured a warm bath, got into a comfortable
bed and slept soundly. From that time
forward he did not sleep for three days,—
He took laudanum, but that had no (-Weed;
he drank whisky in the hope that it would
induce sleep, but it only made him sick.
In the early part of 1837, while in Ohio,
he was attacked with erysipelas in the leg.
and during five m niths was without sleep.
fir G. had recovered his health in some
degree. when intelligence reached him of
the death of two of his children. He then
lay two weeks in great agony, and from
that time to this, a period of four years
and six months, he has been entirely de-•
prived of sleep. '['he last six months of
his life has been spent at Boston. Ills
health was much improved, snd he enter—
tains a hope that as soon as he is able to
take exercise, he will recover. On va
rious occasions of late he has been almost
asleep.
