States Cireutt By Judge Nelson. IN ADMIRALTY. George Twibell and sloop Thomas h, s of eighty tons of coal, left Phitedel, ee Far 7th November, 1848; that on the 80th of the month, when beating: out of the and near the entrance into the bay of New the wind and tide against her, she had stood over to the Staten Island shore on hor larboard task, and ha stood in as far as was prudent without going re, she went about, and had just filled away on the starboard tack when the steam Key: , having in tow several barges heavily with coal, bound to New York, overhaule the said sloop, and ran inte her, one of the barges having merack her about midsbipe, cutting her down tothe water, and causing her to fill and sink in about ten minutes. ‘Ihe answer states that on the mentioned in the libel the steam tug, bound from New Brunswick to New York, with a heavy was moving against wind and tide down the ‘lls, after dark, when the sloop Thomas Lynch »bserved beating down the Kills, and then on the starboard tack; that the tug being a little south of the middle of the channel, the sloop cross- her bows, on the same tack, her a short , starting across the kills on along tack, the wind being N.N.E.; that just after the sloop d the tug in safety, asd when only about three Bundred feet ahead, and one bu feet to the Jeeward, and, at the time, a considerable distance from the Staten Island shore, and under no necessity of tacking, and but a short distance from the tug, she suddenly went about on her larboard tack, bringing her broadside to the tide, then running a = strong flood, and by the joint force of the wind that it was impossible to avoid the colli and that it was caused by the sudden and unexpect- ed attempt of the sloopagatn to re-cross close under the bows of the tug, after she had crossed thom once in safety, and when there was suflicient room for her to continue on her course without tacking. The question on the case lies within a narrow limit; and some of the facts very material in the determi- nation of it, are not in digpute. Both vessels were bound for the New York bay, and were coming out of the Kills, off the Staten Island shore, with a pretty strong wind and tide abead. Th» sloop was is BEE ahead of the tog, on her long tack from the Jersey | 3 tothe Staten Island shore, and was seen by the captain of the tug, half mileahead, while she was on that tack. e tug had a heavy tow, and was moving only at the rate of a mile and a half the hour. The captain of the tug first saw the sloop on her long tack, over his starboard bow. As the tug was nearer the Staten Island than the “pei § shore, the sloop must have been pretty well on her way towards Staten Island when first discovered; and then she was halfa mile aacad. The sloop havin, run out ber tack and reached the Staten Islan shore, off New Brighton, came about and tilled for | 7 the other tack, and hadjust got under way, when she came in contact with the outside tow, on the larbourd side of the tug, striking her « little after midships, and cutting her to the water’s edge, when she sunk. Now, it is not to be denied, under the circumstances tide, drifted down upon the tug so rapidly | ion; made with the pump, and the use a ation for a nt, all go to vonfirm his claim, spac discredit ee oorapaftant the invention. ‘There is no doubt, I the complainant first Leary u an improved pump, 6u} the ge of ra sing wrecked vessels, and thereb; turved the attention oftho defendent to the walgek, aie Pere any beth oy be ai by in Cy up; an ite obable that bo cate fatorented in the ‘utvoo- jontion when com} weeds and injustice ay have been done in exclu ing im from any participation of interes: inthe patent. But it is prettyclear that for a time, at loast, he was apo toawardto the dofondant the whole credit of the improvement, and Fegauted himself in connestion with it only as his end and patron. This view reconciles most of the aprereny contradictory evidence in the case, and is, I thiak, the just view of it, and the one best sus- tained. Iam of opinion, therefore, that tha com- pleinans has failed to establish bis claim to the pa- t, and that the bill must be dismissed. Enter tule ayes g with costs. Aprgat on Apminaury.—James Stout and others vs. Steamboat Isaac Newtom.—Nevson, Jadge.— The libellants wore the owners of the schooner I'ox, of forty tons burthen, laden with a cargo of stone. She wag on her passage from Stoney Poiat, on the North river, t> South river, N. J., and on the 27th March, 1818, about eight B. M. ‘of that day, was pursuing her course down the North river, and had reached a point a little below Yonkers, and near the middle of the river, the steamboat Isaac New- ton at the time, coming up the river on the east side in a direction toclear hor, and to make further room the Fox steered more westwaed; but the steamboat, when only a short distance from her, stecred out of her course and directly tow: the Fox, and ran into her, cutting her through to the hateh- way, when she instantly sunk, carrying down with ber Mr. Slaven, one of the crew. This is the substance of the statement of the libel. ‘The answer states, the steamboat, when below Yonkers, going up the river about the middle of the deep water, the Fox coming down before the wind with a strong ebb tide, and so far eastward of the course of the steamboa’ as to have passed on that side, leaving a wide berth if she bad kept her course, suddenly changed it when but a short distance fro the steamboat to westward; when the latter, in order to avoid hor, steered still further west, so as to open her lights to enable the Fox to see her course; but that the Fox, through the fault of the master, steered still farther westward, and just before the collision occurred, was changed still further west, and nearly across the river, and crosswise, in front of the steamboat; and in that position was struck, and sunk. Tho evidence in the case, as usual in collision cases, is contradic- tory and irreconcileable—Riddle, the master of the Fox, who was on the look-out a; the time, sustain- | ing the statement of the libel; and Sherman, stated, and not in,dispute, but that the sloop hada | right to keep her course, and run out her tack, and | at the proper place and time to come about, and fill for the other tack; and that it was the duty of | the tug not to interfere with her, but to take care and avoid her. The captain of the tug was bound to assume the sloop would run out her tack, and then come about, as this was her duty as well as her right; and the burthen jies upon him to show that the sloop failed in ber duty in this respect, and was in fant, by reason of which the collision hap- pened. This burthen has been assumed, and it is asserted that the sloop failed to run out her tach and came about unexpectedly and sudden!y before she bad completed it, and took the hands on board the tug by surprise, and thus produced the coll! % The whole case hinges upon this allegationin the answer, and proof in support of it, and it depends on the evidence of the master and hand at the helm of the sloop, and the captain and pilot of the tug— the former proving ti thirty yards of the wharf at New Brighton before came about, and the latter that £20 was from 200 some Grout the chord St the time, None of the other witnesses speak ofthefact. The master of the sloop stood at the time on her bow, and had the best opportunity to judge as to the distance, and could not well be mistaken; besides, the fact was @ subject of conversation between him and the man atthe helm. They were both aware of the danger of the collision, from the proximity of the tug, and her unchecked advance towards them, acd of the necessity of all proper measures to avoid ic. ‘They exercised their best judgueat under the cir- e , the wind and tide being ahead, and somewhat strong, as to the point near the whar!, beyond which it would be unsafe to pass before eoming about, and are responsible only fora sound and judicioas exorcise of it. Nor is there necessa- rily ‘any discrepancy on this point in tho evilenze. ‘The captain and pilot of the tug speak of the dis- tance from the shore, not from the wharf, which is the material fact. Proving the distance from the shore, of itself, affords po information to aid us ia determining tho question at issue. To make it a all available for cis purpose, the distance of the harffrom the shore should have been gwen. | might well be that the sloop came about 150 yard from the shore, and still had run her tack as far as permitted by the wharf. The our ewn judgment, fails altogether to establish any fault on the part of the sloop in this res but on the contrary. Again, it is said, the sloop should have been drawn up into the wind, and held that | paaties, instead of filling away, until the tug ipaseed. But this, it is agreed by the experts, would have been a_ perilous bm ap rd being had to the wind and tide, and that the menceuvre had to be made in Lo ht. It was a peril to which the tug had no it pod. . She was seen on her tack by the captain, wo helt a mile abead, his vessel moving at the rate of a mile anda half the hour. Wit attention to bis duty, and assuming that the sloop had fulfilled her's, by running out her tack before she came about, there was not the sligitest difi- eulty in avoiding her. It roquired nothing beyond r lock out and competont skill in tho navi- ition of the tug.

The son is the only witness on board, bosiles the master, that was examined. His testimony is not.very ma- terial either way. Weatherwax, King, and Jeszup, besides Sherman, the pilot, on the partof thesteam. boat, and who witnessed the collision, have been examined, and concur substantially in the statement of the pilot. Besides these, thers are four wituesses who were on board other veszels, in the vicinity of the collision, and witnessed it, aud whose testimony, under the cireuustances, is very matorial, besides being exempt from the natural bias of witnesses be- longing to tho vessels immediately concerned. ‘Three of them were on board the sloop Samsondale, coming down the river, and which had passed the Vox, between her and the eastern shore, a few mi- nutes before the accident. The other was the master of the sloop Margaret, lying at anchor avout a mile below Yonkers, and within two or three hundred yards of the east shore. All these witnesses concur that the steamboat was coming up the river on the east shore, nearly in a range with the Margaret, while lying thus at anchor, until she reached within a short distance of her, when the sheered and passed about a northwest course, and pursued it till the collision happened Atthis time, the Pox must have been from two to three bundred yards west of the Margaret, and of ccurse the eaime distance weet ‘of the steamboat, when she took the sheer west, and not over six or seven hundred yards ahead of her. The witnesses on board the Samsondale say that the Fox was from two to three hundred yards off west at the time the steamboat passed her, and about the same distance astern; and as this vessel was on a line with the Margaret, and also with the steamboat bofore she took her sheer westward, the Fox must have been the same distance, at this point of time, west of her. She was not ouly thus fur west of the course of the steamboat at the time, but hal sheered still fur- ther west, expecting her to Vw on the easterly side The master of the Fox, and the hands on board the steamboat, all agree in this change of the course of the echooner. They differ as to the relative b igre of the two vessels at the time—the pilot and bands on the steamboat supposing the ‘ox to be nearest the eastern shore. But this, as wo have scen, was a clear mistake, and one which, doubtless, led mainly to the unfortunate accident; | for it is not to be doubted, that if the pilot had been | aware that the course of the Fox was west of him, meee therefore, in | iT | | expose her, and for which there was no | | | case illustrates the ety this observation. and, as is conceded, indicating from her manwuvres an intention not only to persevere in her course, but to take a direction still further west, he would not have been guilty of the rashness of attempting to ss her, under the Sg yey ef e ing her ows to the westward.

The proofs show that no very extraor inary or hazard- ous Servite was si bet of the oflicers or crew, or was rendered hy them in gaving the schooner. Sho was discovered in latitude 37 N. and 73 W., being about 140 miles from the port of New York. The weather was fine from the time she was taken in tow till her arrival at that port, with the exception of one twenty-four hours, during waich there was & prett heavy blow, and on which occasion an ad- ditios hawser was used; but none of the crew were sed on account of remaining in the wreck during the blow, as the oflicer and few mea on board were removed to the Piymouth. The only delay that ecourred to the Plymouth in ber usual service was abeut two days, owing to the change of her course from Boston to New York. All the service ren- dered was under the direction of the commander of the Plymouth, and agreeably to the general in- structions of the Secretary of the Navy to all the naval vessels of the government. The officers have renounced all claim to salvage for the service, and so advised the Secretary of the Navy; but the crewre- fused. Itisnot necessary to determine, in thiscase, in order to dispose of it, whether or not the officers and ‘orews of thenaval vessels of the United States are in any case ontitled to salvage for service rendered to American merchant vessels in distress, notwith- standing the instructions on the subject by the government. | have no doubt casos may existIn which they are entitled to salvage compensation, both on principle and aainoaty, _ (6 Rob, 273, the Gage; 1 Edwards, 279, the Lord Nelson; tb. 115, the Pensamenta Felix; 15 Peters, 518, Armistad case; the case of the Alligator and the Enterprise M.S de- cision of Judge Lee, South Carolina District; 3 Hag. 14; the Theti 0, the Helene; 154; the Lustre; 3 Was.

But in these cages there should something wore than the usual peril encountere1 by the officers and crew, and an extraordinary service rendered, exceeding the duty imposed from their employment in the publie service, andthe specia! instructions of the government on the shbject. rdinary service in rescuing American vessels in distress, eaves no great hardship or peril on the part of the officers and crew, would seem to fall directly within tho line of the general duty thus enjoined; and is a service bestowed by government for the protection and encouragement of its commercial marine, and the right to impose this duty on the government vessels is too clear to be controverted. Great and extraordinary service and peril in rescuing the ship and cargo would present a different question, and stands upen different principles and poli . These are acts which, of themselves, should be the subject of reward an ensouragement, and not necessarily comprehended in the duty resulting from the public | employment of the persons rendering it, or from | the instructions of the government. Now, it ap- pears from the proofs in the caso, that the services | upon which the claim for salvage rests, were in no way extraordinary or perilous, and consisted wholly in boarding the schooner, securing to her the | bawsers, and towing her inte port—the crew havin, been removed from her when the weather rendered | it dangerous to remain. It is as a servize per- | formed in obedience to the orders of the officer in | command of the sloop of war, and, in itself, very commendable, and deserving ail praise; but not specially meritorious, or at all bazerding the lives of apy portionofthecrew.

Jolog the 4th regiment of infantry, then at Cor- pus Christi, Texas, he participated in the scenes of that campaign, which, under the direo- tion of Gen.

Transferred afterwards to the 5th regi- ment of infantry, and to the southern line of 0 tions, under Gieneral Scott, he accompanies army to the city of Mexico. ‘ fhorough!y versed in the Spani-h language, and possessing an extensive knowledge of ancient and modern literature, he enjoyod age advantages over his less favored countrymen Frequent sus-’ pensions of hostilities enabled him to cultivate the: acquaintance of, and exchange courtesies with, many of the most conspicuous citizens of the repub- lic of Mexico, both elil and military, produel mutual acknowledgements of consideration an esteom.

CAPTAIN FOWLER HAMILTON, OF THE DRAGOONS, Died, recently, near |'ort Muson, Texas, Captain Fowler Hamilton, of the Uaited States Dragoons, in the 34th year of his age. We learn that he dicd from exhaustion, while at the head of hie company, in the pursuit of the In- dians. Captain liaimuilton was native of Sussex county. In 1840, he graduated at the West Point Military Academy, from which he entered imme- diately into active eervice, ns houtenant, in the rida war, in which service be wituessed many stir- ring secnes. He also bore a conspicuous part inthe Mexican war. Ile acccmpavied the Army of Ob- servation which was sent to ‘Texas under the com- mand of General Taylor, in order to watch the movemente of the Mexicans, and, on the march to the Rio Grande, often had command of the advance guard. He particypated in the ba'tles of Palo Alto and Kesaca de 1a !’alma, and of Monterey; was at the bombardment and taking of Vera Cruz, and in the charge of Colonel Liarney upon the Mexican larcers, at the Bridge of Madellin. Duricg the war, he was appointed Major in the 10th regiment of infantry, and afterwards pro- moted to Lieut. Colonel, which commission pot ai on the disbanding of the regiment at the close of the war, when he was restored to bis rank in the dragoons. He, Like many others of the brave officers and soldiers of our army, contracted diseases in Mexico of which he never recovered; and his constitution was too much shattered to withstand the climate and fatigues of the service. All who knew hia will learn his death with pain and regret. Affable in his manner, generous to a fault, companionable, full of incident and story, and ever ready to impart infermation or amusement, he made friends wherever he went, and died witheat an enemy With this shock, his friends have the slaving ee that he died in the honorable defence of his country, and that through bis short but eventful life, he never bony hed his well-carne| fame with one dishonor- able ast.
