THE FORSEST CASE
Two of tho daily journals-,--tho 13•ibun
and the Etpress—havd imposed their Cen
sures upon the conduct of Mr. Forrest to.
wards Mr; Willis, in Washington Square:
They confine their disapprobation, hoivov
er, to the simple assault of tho former• up
on the latter; and do not look back to re
view.tho aggravating cause of thoso
exci
ted feeliq«s which led to a breach of the
pence. When all the evidence in this mel
ancholy affair shall come before the pub - -
tic; we have' no doubt That a correct and
ure public moral sentiment will give a
•tone to • public opinion, which will support
Mr. Forrest in the position he has taken,
while even the recent personal affray ,will
be excused, upon grotnids of which, at pres
ent, we only perceive the slightest 'appear
ance. Upon an exposition of all the facts
in the case, public opinion will do justice
to the person most wantonly injured. '
Further Particulars of the Diendful Disaster
on Lake Erie.
Bujedo i June 18.—The names of the
greater portion of those who perished on
the ill-starred steamer Griffith, will prob
able never . be known, as the register of
passengers WO_ lost, among other books.
It appears from the most reliable informa
tion that can be obtained, there wore di.
ver three hundred souls on hoard at the
time of the accident. The number „of''
steerage passengers is stated to have been
361, and about 40 in the cabin. The
crew consisted of 25.
It appears but ono female escaped from
the burning boat and no one of the chil
dren on board the boat was saved.
The following are additional particu
lars: When within about twenty miles of
Cleveland, the Griffith took fire, and the
flames spread with such rapidity and fury,
as to defy every effort to extinguish them.
The most strenuous efforts were made to
stop their progress, but they were only
subued when the unfortunate vessel was
burned to the water's edge. The mate,
after it was found impossible to save the
vessel, threw himself into the lake and
swam ashore. Ile proceeded immediate
ly to Cleveland.
The Griffith was bound from this port
to Sandusky and Toledo.
'File steamer Troy, which arrived here
yesterday morning, furnishes the follow -
irrg additional particulars :—Among the
lost are Captain Roby, wife and daughter;
Michel Juno, 2d engineer; Mr. Mann,
wheelrnan ; 'Fraley, Ist porter ; Tillman
and Paulding, saloon keepers ; the wife
and child of Wm. Tinkcom ; R. A. Pardu,
of Beaver, Pa.; C. Leonard , porter ; I).
Weaxer, waiter ; Mrs. Wilkinson and
daughters ; F. J. Champion.
It diay be safely estimated that two
died lives were lost! When the Troy
left, there were one leeendrca'dead bodies
lying on the beach, It was a sight which
appalled the stoutest hearts.
The Troy has nine dead bodies on
board. The flags of the shipping at this
port were at hall' mast yesterday afternoon
in token of sorrow for this sad disaster.
The boat was insured for $27,772, as fel
ows :—ln the Astor Co. N. Y . $0,000:
North Western, $O.OO ; Buffalo Mutual,
$6,000; Buffhlo Merchant,s Mutual, $5,00
Lexington, $2,580, Columbia Co., $2,275.
The first engineer, the clerk, the bar
ber's wife, and two of the deck hands are
among those saved, It is supposed that
seseral succeeded in reaching the shore,
or iverepieked up by passng vessels after
wards.
Tne Griffith was a new boat of medium
dimensions, and of excellent character
with the travelling public. She had just
been purchased by Captain Roby, a wor
thy officer, who had entered in command
of her. This we think was his first trip

interesting family, all of whoa► fell victims

lo, on Monday evening received a tele
graph despatch from him, dated Ashtabu

"My wife and four children are drown

ASHTABULA, June 17-0 P. M. —By
Mr. C. Spencer, of Ashtabula, who was
a passengr on the Griffith, we learn the
following:
I saved myself by swiming ashore.—
There were three hundred passengers on
board, and out of that number 50 were
saved, The steamer was about three.
fourths of a mile east of Cleveland. The
fire was supposed to have originated from
the boilers of the furnace.
The passengers were thick around the
boat, and a great many that could not
swim, would holden to others and drown
them as well as themselves. It- was a
sorrowful and heart, rendering scene.—
The manner in which I •got out of their
Way was by jumping about 20, feet into
the water and took directly out into .the
Lake, and then swam up a little distance
to get out of the reach of others, and to
prevent them pulling me down ; I -then
swam to the shore. •

IMM
PARLOR JOURNAL.
The subscribers . ; en, heginning the 12th
volume of their newSpaper, cannot but ex
press their satisfaction 'wit!' the patronage
they have received, for the past year, since
the enlargement. Thb Gazette now con
tains thirty-six columns of rending matter,
which is from four to eight more than the
weeklies generally; and being printed in
new and handsome condensed letter, con
tains more matter than any two . dollar
Journal in. the United States. It is not
so much on the superior quantity of the
contents, as on the quality that the sub
scribers pride themselves, A haslx.recap
itulation of points in which this journal
excels its contemporaries will, therefore
not be out of place here.
BEST CORPS OF CONTRIBUTORS,
From its commencement, the Gazette
has been made up principally of original
contributions in prose and verse, and not,
as most of the weeklies are, of selections
clipped from tho country papers and each
other. The subscribers of the Gazette, al
ways have fresh reading, therefore ; and
this from the very best pens the country
aflbrds. Some of our most eminent wri
kers contribute to no other newspaper: a
mong them we may name, the author of
the "Bedott Papers," Mrs. Ann S. Ste
phens, Mackellar, and the author of
"Lights and Shadowp of a Country Parson's
life." A partial list of our original con
tributors is subjoined.
.Miss Eliza Leslie ; Author of "Bedott
Papers ;" Mrs. Ann S. Stephens ; Mrs.
E. D. N. South worth ; Miss. M. J. Mc-
Intosh, Author of "Conquest and self Con

4ele hull ; Fanny Forester, now Mrs.
Judson ; Edith May; A. Mackellar;
T. S. Arthur . IL W. Herbert ; En
na Duval; Author of "Lights and Shad
ows of a Country Parson's Life ;" Mrs.
Margaret Piggott; Mrs. E. C. McKin
ney. .
In addition, a watch is kept on all the
best articles of the English Magazines'
and such as are desirable secured for us
through an-agent, in advance. In this way
we obtained "Agnes Grey," by the au
thor of "Jane Eyre," Wildfield &c.
and in this way we have anticipated sto
ries by James, Thacker, and "others of
the best English writers. In no case do
we publish old English stories as original.
A LADIES' NEWSPAPER
In another respect the Gazette differs
from other weekly newspapers. Its fourth ,
page is edited by Mrs. Joseph C. Neal ; 1
the result of is to combine, with a
high tonedjamily and literary journal, a
ladieedßuper of the best character. Ev
erything of importance to the sex—the la
test books, the latest styles -of dress, the
changes of fashion and customs of society,

A Saturday Parlor Companion.
This department we have no doubt mill
fill the vacum long complained of, and la
j dies in the country have the advantage of '
a weekly chit-chat on matters of fashiona
ble life with their own sex in cities.
Elegant and Appropriate Engravings,
I representing Battle Scenes, Incidents and
jeonspicuous Personages in Revolutionary
History, Sea Scenes and Battles, together
with original Maps and views of important
Places and Events, are another feature.
.LITERARY CRITICISM.
Our:position as a weekly Gazette will
enable us, to give understandingly, such
rapid but candid and judicious notices of
the literature of the day, as cannot fail to
keep the reader fully enlightened on this
important :subject, at once furnishing-food
for thought and conversation, and indica
ting to the• student where to turn,- instead
of frittering away his. time in wading
through the flood of publication which now
emanates from the press.
DEPARTMENT FOR CHILDRFN.
No family journal is complete without a
well-edited department for children. In
this respect the. Gazette is unapproacha
ble. Mrs. J. C. Neal who has charge of
this department; enjoys a well-earned rep
utation of being one of the best writers for
children in the United States; ',Her "Hel
en Morton's Trial," originally published
in . this journal, has .been called by the
highest critical. authority, the most admi
' ruble book , of its , kind published, for many
I
years. This important departtnent is en.
tirely neglected by most weekly papers.--
