It burst so unexpectedly upon us, that it was some time before the American people recovered from the shock that it gave them, or comprehended the spectacle of a whole nation dying of starva- tion. Blessed as they are witha fruitful soil and a propitious climate, they could not realize the fearful truth, until it was terribly and awfully substantiated by report of deaths, and by the arrival on their shores of thousands of famishing people. When they had somewhat recovered their senses, the cry was heard from one end of the country tothe other, what’s to be done for Ireland? The press and the pulpit re-echoed it, aot of Europe, and have for a long time been the source from which the raw material for the manufacture of cotton goods has been princi- pally derived. The raw material required for the manufacture of woollen goods, is rapidly be- coming an important staple article of export, and a few years will suffice to swell the shipments to an immense amount. The vast prairies of the Westerncountry are peculiarly adapted to the rais- ing ofsheep, and the finest qualities of wool can be produced in that section of country,‘at a very low price. We look to the extension of this trade, aa we do of all others with foreign nations, principally upon the ground that we shall be able to furnish the staple articles of export at prices so much below those of the country to which we ship them, that we shall be able to supply the bulk of the demand. Itis so now with cotton; it will soon be so with breadstuffs, provisions, wool, and many other articles now hardly thought of. Whale the variety and extent of our exports are increasing so rapidly, we see no probability of a corresponding increase in the variety and extent of our imports. We are already manufacturing many articles, which in previous years we im- ported largely. Railroad iron , for instance, is one article. Manufactories are spring up in all parts of the country, and an immense number of rails are daily. turned out, the demand for which from our railroad companies is sufficient to take them faster than they can be supplied. Manu- factories of other descriptions of iron are rapidly increasing, and the importation of iron manu- factures will, in a few years, be very small to what it has been. We have not as yet advanced sufficiently inthe manufacture of cutlery and the finer varieties of goods, to affect the importa- tion materially; but in time, all these things will be acquired, and we shall be able to supply, at least, our home demand. Cotton and woollen manufactories are also increasing very rapidly, and we are gradually reducing the variety and extent of our importations of all articles which come under this head. We are not only supply- ing our home demand for many cotton goode, but we are supplying foreign markets to a greater extent than-we ever have before, and are gradu- ally, but steadily, supplanting similar manufac- tures from Great Britain. The importation of such articles as we cannot produce withiu our own limits, is increasing, in proportion to the increase in population. The importation of articles of luxury increases as we increase in prosperity, and in our ability to con- sume such things more largely. There is no other country on the face of the earth so independent of all the reat of the world as this, and there is no other people creat- ed, so capable of supplying themselves, with not only all the necessaries, but many of the luxuries of life, as those of the United States. Comparatively,we are, as yet, in our infancy in all those things which constitute anation’s strength and greatness. In less than a century we have reached an extent of population nearly equal to the most powerful nation in Europe; a com- mercial marine, second to no other in the world; and in all the other things which go to- wards making a government powerful, and a people prosperous, we are almost out of sight in advance of any other country under the canopy ofheayen, ihe Expiosionjon Boarp THE SteamBoatT Nracara. —Two Lives Lost, anp Seven Persons Scatp- Ep.—We yesterday morning received intelligence of an explosion thattook place onboard the steam- boat Niagara, at about a quarter past 8 o’clock that morning. This boat plies regularly between this city and Albany, and left her dock at half past wix o’clock, on her trip. When she had pro- ceeded about thirty miles, and was at a point between Tarrytown and Sing Sing, her steam chest exploded with a terrific noise, killing two firemen instantaneously, and se- verely scalding seven of the passengers. In addition to other damage, the particulars of which we have not yet learned, the smoke pipe, barber’s shop, fire rooms, and a large portion of the side of the vessel we.e carried away by the , force of the steam. As soon as the confusion incident to the ex- plosion had subsided, the bell was rung for re- lief, and the steamboat Roger Williams, Capt. Degroot, which furtunately happened to be a short distance behind, went to her relief, and took her passengers off. The steamboat Thomas Powell then came up and took her in tow to- wards the shore, when her anchors were let go. Five of the scalded passengers were taken on board the Roger Williams, and proceeded to Al- bany. The remaining two of the scalded were go much injured that they were taken to this city jin the steamer Thomas Powell, for the purpose of receiving medical assistance. Since the above was written, we have obtained the following additional particulars :— This melancholy casualty created much ex- citement in all parts of this city; and as is usual on such occasions, the accounts were conflicting, ad in many respects much aggrevated. We learn tat when about forty miles upthe river, her steam chimney exploded; but none of the passengers were killed, as was announced in the first ac- counts. The explosion created the utmost alarm and confusion on board, among the passengers, several of whom were scalded, among whom were Mr. Noah Avery and lady, of Seneca coun- ty. The injuries they have sustained, however, are not pronounced dangerous. A rumor still prevails, that two of the firemen are missing, and fears are entertained that they have perished.— We learn, however, by the latest accounts, that this report is not correct, asthe men escaped with little injury. Much credit is due to the steamer Thomas Powell for the services ren- dered by her on the occasion. The captain and officers of this boat, together with Messrs. Rob- ert Sinclair, of this city, Mr. Mirvon and others, were assiduous, in their attentions to the passen- gers, Several were taken on board the Roger Williams, as we noticed above, ‘There were on board at th @ time about 200 and the halls of our national and State legis- latures reverberated the eloquence of the friends of suffering humanity. As if by an electric shock our mighty confederacy was agitated, and the sufferings of Ireland were the universal topic of conversation in the highways and byeways of our land. A concerted movement immediately began. Succor for Ireland—prompt and imme- diate, was the watchword. Twenty American gentlemen stepped forward, first having sub- scribed the liberal sum of five hundred dollars each, and called a public meeting in the city of New York—and solicited the co-operation of their fellow citizens to aid them in the good work. The call was responded to with alacrity. Re- lief committees were appointed, and contribu- tions flowed into the exchequer of humanity. Draft after draft was remitted, and ship after ship was despatched with provisions and clothing for the dying. Nor were other parts of the country backward. No city, no State, no town or village in the land held back, for, to the eternal honor of the United States be it remem- bered, that in each and all of them the good work was commenced and conducted with alac- rity, until the’ receipts swelled to an amount that astonished all. Collections were taken up in churehes and schools—in the army and in the navy.

Mr. Andrews, of Troy. Subject—The relation of Literature to Christianity. It was an ear- nest appeal in behalf of Christian Literature, with some chanic---the very children of America---all vied with each other in their endeavors to feed the starving, and stop the work of famine and fever. To see a mighty country, blessed in an eminent degree with all that is needed to its comfort and luxury, engaged from one extremity to the other in exertions to feed and clothe their starving and naked brethren in a distant part of the world, was a truly sublime spectacle---one that angels and men might delight in. Nor was this a sud- den burst of humanity and christian benevolence. On the contrary it was lasting and steady, and now, after a lapse of seven months, shines as brilliantly as it did at first. Contributions of money, provisions and clothing are still pouring in, notwithstanding that there is every probabi- lity of there being a good harvest throughout the whole of Europe. Such a gratifying spect: cle is without parallel, and exhibits the Ameri- can character in a very favorable light. ‘The following is an estimate of the amonnt of eontributions, sent by this country for the re- lief ofthe Irish and Scotch, since the first of January last :— ‘Amount of Contrisutions iv. tHE Unitep States, From January 1, To Juny 81, 1847, Through the New York Relief Committee. .. . . $200,000 ‘Through other Committees in other cities 260,000 Remittances by the Irish and Scotch. . . 600,000 Total in seven months. ...... . «$1,050,000 As might be expected from an open hearted and generous people, the relief of the United States bas been gratefully acknowledged by the Irish, and the Irish press. Every paper we re- ceive from that country is loud in its gratitude, and pledges to remember the kindness of the Americans for ever, for coming to their rescue in time ot need, and saving, by their generosity, thousands of their countrymen. It is impossible to exaggerate their exuberance of gratitude. Whenever an American is “announced, he is re- ceived and treated as a superior being, and lite- rally encumbered with compliments. With the English it is a different matter. While bread- stuffs and provisions are pouring into the dis- tressed portions of their kingdom, the press is si- lent as to the source from which they come. The United States, from which all this aid comes, is never referred to by them, except in an abusive and malicious tone. While our citizens are feeding the Irish, whom a long course of ty- ranny and misconduct have reduced to a servi- tude to which our negro slavery will bear no comparison, the English press is engaged in slandering them in the vilest manner possible.— Is this a proper return for our kindness and hu- manity? Is this a way to cultivate the friendly feelings which ought to exist between the two nations ? How different is the Irish press. | When the proper time arrives,” the Dublin Nation signifi- cantly says, “‘we shall remember who it was that cante to our aid in ourtime of need,” and more, it emphatically says, it speaks the sentiments of the whole Irish people, when it declares ‘an Irishman will never pulla trigger against the United States.” yaar is Tat nasil Pome 4000 the foundation piles have already in, and 2000 feet of solid masonry has been inc io idee may be formed of this extensive work, ‘even in its present state, when we mention that about 470 men are now employed on it.

It will soon be published by the society, and de- serves to be largely distributed throughout our country After the address the society retired to the Clinton Ho- tel, where a rich repast was served up. In the discharge of his duty here,each man acquitted himself most hon- orably, and ample justice was done to the feast prepared.

The act, it seems, provides that a certain number of square feet shall be allowed for each passen- ger. Captain Rose, of the packet ship Atlantic, was arrested yesterday, and held to bail in the sum of $600, for a violation of this proviso. Cononen’s Orricr.—The business of the coroner for the last few days possesses but little interest, except ex- hibiting the fact that in certain looalities in the city there is a frightful mortality by typhus fever. These cases of death are daily occurring among that class of our population, who by their own improvidence and daily habits of dissipation, have long since ceased to pos- sess any interest in times of sickness, either with their associates or with the municipal authorities. The his. tory of these cases of death as given before the coroner, show that this depraved class wherever congregated, are suffered to die, unheeded and uncared for, without medical attention or advice, and without food of a nour- ishing quality sufficient to sustan life while nature is contending with the pestilence, which finally overpow- ers them. We boast of our charitable institutions, and point to them with pride as a source of relief to the poor and needy. How far they fulfil the objects of their creation, ask the poor aud forlorn, who are daily called <= by the coroner to give testimony on these inquests. The number of deaths reported by the city inspector, for the last week,is unusually large,equal, véry nearly,to the number that occurred weekly during the cholera. This yet in our bills of mortal- of itself need cause no alarm ; dical profession, as well as ity we notice among the me: among the citizens generally, many valuable lives have been lost by typhus fever since it has prevailed among us, Notwithstanding the danger and risk to life by ex- ure to the vitiated air of these unwholesome dwel- ings, some means must be devised to afford prompt me- dical attendance in cases occurring among the poor, else our bills of mortality will increase, and the disease which is now mostly confined to certain localities, will extend and brin our whole population under its’ epi- demic or con lous influer Law Intelligence. In Cuampens—Before Judge Edmonds—Saturday, July 31.—In re nichard Woodhead.—On the 20th of June last, Woodhead, who had then lately arrived from Ire- land, complained of a painin his back, left his lodgings in search of a dispensary, which in the old country is sort of hospital, where out-door patients are preseribed for and get medicine, In the course of his walk he met a policeman and asked him to direct him to # hospital; the policeman directed him to the Tombs; he went the ‘applied to Justice Drinker for a hospital ticket, the al mode in ‘Dublin of procuring admission to the in- stitutions above described.

Beardsley.—It appeared that Beardsley enlisted on the 21st of Juve last, at Buffalo, and was im- mediately sent from thence to Governor’s Island. He was followed by his father, who sued out a writ of habeas corpus yesterday on the ground that he wasa minor, and had him brought before Judge Edmonds this morning. From the testimony of Mr. Beardaley, it appeared his son was only 19 years ofage. The antes ordered him to be discharg- ad upon paying $30 67, the expenses incurred by the government for his bounty, clothing, subsistence, &o.— The old man paid the money down and took his son home with him. In Re Bernard Masterson.—Masterson, who is upwards of 30 years of age, enlisted about a week since in @ drunk- on frolic, leaving a wife and six children (the eldest cripple and the youngest not more than six months old) totally destitute. The wife caused s writ of habeas cor- pus to issue, and had him brought before the Judge this morning, when she and her six children appeared in the chamber and ¢o horrified the Judge by ir screams that he postponed the matter until Tuesday morning. The Alms House Commissioner is bound to look this case, and if this man cannot be discharged, to see that he gives security that his wife and children are not to be thrown on the city, Common Puras, July 31—In Banco.—Decrsions.— jah H.

I sincerely trust that the alterations which you have made in the provincial tariff, and the additional tacili- ties afforded to trade by the extension of bonding and warchousing privileges, will be productive of benefit to the colony. and tend to the promotion of its commercial and agricultural interests. I have observed with satisfaction the attention which ou have bestowed on the several projects which hat brought before you for developing the mineral ri souroes of the province, and improving its means of in- ternal communication. I trust that the measures which you have passed for the amendment of certain provisions of the criminal code, for the protection of mercantile interests, for ren- dering the common school act of Upper Canada more offectir and for placing the municipal institutioos of Lower Canada on an improved footing, will be attended with beneficial results, ‘The prevalence of disease among the immigrants who have arrived from Europe this s yn, has occasioned me much concern, Ithave not failed to bring this sub- ject under the consideration of Her Majesty's Secretary ‘of State, and to répresent the necessity of adopting mea- sures to place emigration to this colony under more effi- cient regulation. Meanwhile my warmest acknowledg- ments are due to you for the liberal provision which you have made for relieving the indigent and preventing disease from spreading in the province. The charitable exertions of the clergy—of the ladies attached to the rv- ligious coramunities, and of benevolent individual n the laity, who have, at the hazard of their lives, min’ to the necessities of the sick, are beyond any praise which it jain my power to offer; but | ,cannot refrain on thin occasion from paying a tribute to ‘their devotedness and Christian seal. Gentlemen of the House of Assembly: I thank you in the name of Her Majesty for the rea- iness with which you have voted the supplies necessary for the public service and for maintaining the credit of the province. Honorable Gentlemen and Gentlemen: ‘The several addresses to the Queen which you have transmitted through me have been duly forwarded, to be laid at the foot of the throne. By exercising the influence which you possess in your respective districts tocarry out Tooel improvements sad give full effect to the wise and salutary enactments of the Legislature, you may render services to the commu- nity hardly less important than those which you dis- charge while you are assembled here. | am confident that these duties will engage your attention on your re- turn to your homes, and | earnestly pray that our-exer- tions for the advancemont of the various interests of this noble province, and for the benefit of all classes of the inhabitants, be attended with the Divine bl ing. ‘Tne Honorable the Speaker of the Legislative Council then declared that it was the pleasure of His Excellenc; the Governor General, that the Parliament should stan prorogued to Monday, the 6th September.

The reason given for its non-redemption was the mutilated state ot the bill, which is per a but usible, for the bill is perfect in every particular with the exception of about three-fourths of an inch in jength and the upper right hand corner, which is wanting, but thaab- sence of which does not in the slightest degree affect. the wording of the bill or its value. As sight be any- ed, such # high-handed measure on the part of an institution whoso bills are notorious for their ragged ap- earance, is calculated to seriously affect its circulation in this quater, for no broker will, under the circum- stances,be willing to hazard a loss in receiving the muti- lated bills of a bank that refuses to be goverened by the rules of all other banking institutions, and which re- fuses to redeom its bill, on go silly a pretext. The bank- ing institution in this city holding the bill has very properly taken measures to compel the redemption of the note referred to. ‘The Great Falls Manufacturing Company of Newbu- ryport, Mass., have declared a semi-annual dividend of $10 ashare.

The aver- age value of the shares is now about $420, so that this dividend to the stockholders who came in last is five per cent, while to the original stockholders it is only one percent. To those who have taken at each creation of new stocks the same number of new which they had before of old shares, the average value is about $420; 50 that to them the dividend is equal to about two and = quarter per cent. ‘The quantity of certain articles of produce exported from this port for the week ending July 30, inclusive, was annexed :— Commence oy tHe Port or New York.
