There eannor be a doubt that many of those who bare becn scalded and sill survive, will die a lingering and painful death. Tho list of sealded, g:ven ip one of eur despaivhes, comprises thirty pames; but it adds that 2 number of others, whoze namés could not be ascertained, were more or less + jured; and we perceive, by the statement of the eonductor of the Budson River Railroad train, that eome cighty in ali lave been scalded, and of these thirty badly. It appears that the killed are nearly a)l officers or bands of the boat. Bat several of tae paseengers will have to be added to the list.” Waat is the cause of this horrible catastrophe? Was there racing—er was there, what amounts to the same thing, an undue anxiety and reekless determipation to make time, regard- lese of the safety of human life? Or, if neither of these suppositione be the true onc, was there not criminal negligence in omitting to lot off steam while the engine was still? One despuich states that there was an cffort to make such timeas would eeteb the Saratoga train, and thet there was no steam let off from the hour the boat left New York. These are matters for the investigation of a coro- ner's jury; and it is tobe hoped that afterthe warn- ing given by the late steamboat massacres, which deaves the officers of the Reindcer inexeusabie for neglect or recklessnes#, a jury will be found which wil! do its duty, and a coroner who will do his. Ir is stated that there could have been no racing, beesuse no boat left withthe Reindeer. But though toere was no racing against any other boat, who will undertake to say there was no racing against time—no racing against the Hudson River Railroad— no racing to keep up the fame of the boat for quick trips? The racing on the North river has been as great over since the burning of the Henry Clay, as it wae before ; and justice to the slain, and a re- gard to the safety of the living, imperatively de- mand thatexamples be made, anda stop at last be put to this infameus sporting with human life. it is worthy of remark, that nearly all the steam- boat explosions that take place, occur just as the boat is leaving some landing. The philosophy of the thing is this: when the engine is in motion the Steam is exhausted at each stroke when it stopa,no steam is exhausted, but on the oontrary it accumu- Tates more re pidly, because no cold water is admit- tec into the boiler during this interval, the pump being worked by the engine. The fires burn fierce- Jy ail the time, and the re is that the boiler, erpecially if deficient in water, becomes red hot. If the boiler or pipes do not give way before the en- Gine is started, the moment it is eet in motion the Budcen admission of cold water, which ie rapidly converted into steam, by coming in contact with the red hot plates, or the agitation of the water already in the boiler against that part of it above the water line, which becomes excessively heated while the engine is still, and makes steam faster then there is #pace to contain it, causes aa explosion, with all its terrible conzequences. In every instance this is the result of noglect, or wanton recklessness of human life. If two things were done, it would be impossible for an explosion to take place—firat, always to keep a good supply of water in the boiler, and, socondly, always to let off the steam while the engino ie still, ‘@* it is, of course, at the landings. But, accordingto the racing policy, the steam must be kept up at all bazarde, and not wasted by blowing it off; and the veeult is, that impurity for a number of times makes the engineer and other officers so familiar with the danger that they think nothing of it, ‘ill, semo fine day, they arc blown to pieces: und, unfortunately, the innocent are involved in the samo catastrophe. How long, we aek, is this state of things to be per- mitted to disgrace the country, and how long are buman hecatombs to be thus offered upon the altar &f an avaricious speculation, which sacrifices al things to itself? ‘The News.

Orrin Fowler, whig member of Oongress from Massashussets, died on Friday evening, after afow days illness. President Fillmore bas gone to resuperate his over- worked energies at the Virginia Springs. By the wey ot New Orleans wo have an account of the effeets of a most terrible earthquake, which occurred at Suptago de Cubaon the 20th ult. A large number of buildings were tetally demolished, the streets were blocked up by the rains, and neayly every house im the city was injured. We publish some additional information from Havana, including a despateh announcing that the publisher ef the Voice of the People—the papor which hus given the Cuban authorities 90 much treable of Jate—has escaped, and is now in the Uaited The mafts { States. Late accounts from Martinique state that the French troops were being thinned off by the yellow fever. The determination of England to romain on friend)y terms with this country, notwithstanding the efforts of her colonists to create a dispute upon the fichery questien, appears to have greatly aroused the indignation of the latter. A meeting assem- bled at Halifax a few days ago, and passed strong resolutions praying the Queen to suspend all nego- tiations op the subject. It is more than probable that, ifthe whole truth was known concerning this matter, upwards of three fourths of the colonists, who are go desirous for Great Britain to adopt an extreme policy, are really tired of her dominion over them, and, by creating a war between tho United States and England, they hope to have an opportunity of either coming in among us or else setling up an independent government of their own. Considerable maritime news is furnished by the telegraphs to-day, the most interesting of which is the announcement that the bark Yorktowa, from this port for Quebec, was lost on Point Trinity reof, op the 26th ult. The Missouri House of Representatives, after orty-three ballots, are still without a Speaker. The details which we elsewhere give relative to the recent storm in the South, fully confirm the telegraphic reports of its disastrous effects. Tae number of lives and amount of property destroyed cannot be estimated, and will probably never be known. As an evidence of its extensive ravages among the crops, we have only to refer to the fact, that it has already caused a rise in the value of corn in Georgia from forty to seventy-five cents, and of wheat from sixty cents to oue dollar per bushel. As is customary on the Sabbath morning, we devote a column of this sheet for the information of Christians of all denominations. The steady and healtbful progress of the cause of religion on this continent should make the hearts of all true worshippers rejoice. Tae Wig Meetine—Unsivsaina Menpaciry oF THE Parry Press.—The whig mecting of Friday evening, held at Constitution Hall, was one of the greatest failures ever witnessed in this city; yet the unscrupulous whig press, even that portion of it which professes to be respoctable, represents it as completely successful and enthu- siastie. The Zvibune outstrips all the other jour nals in mendacity, and says that so great was the crowd inside the hall that it was necessary to erect a platform outside. It so happens, however that at half-past seven o’clock, the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting, there were only thirty-two persona present, including the re- porters, and the platform in the strect waa erected hours before that time. The Times, sustaining its “ puff preliminary,” exalts “the whig rally” in a most magniloquent strain. The Cowrier insinuates that it was the storm that prevented the meeting being as large as otherwise it would have been But the eiorm consisted of a thunder shower at balf-past five o'clock, which was all over two hours before the meeting commenced. The Express, strange to say, shows more decency than apy of the other three journals, in reference to the character of the meeting. It abstains altogether from describi g it, conscious that the less said on the subject the better. The messes were absent—the leaders were ahsent—and even the committee wore 80 ashamed of the failure, that they aia nuv make their | appearance on or about the platform, which was de- serted during the evening. There was a total want of enthubiasm. | And this is exactly the character of all the whig meetings that have been held. It was the same at the ratification meeting at the Broadway House, the same at Niagara Falls, the same at Tompkins square, where the veracious Tribune stated that there were 50,000 persons present. It has been the same all over the country. Notwithstanding Greeley tracts, Robinson pamphlets, Lives of Scott, and the daily diatribes of a thousand whig journals, extolling the military and civie virtues of their candidate, it has been found utterly impossible to get up the steam. Whatever cuthusiasm there has been, bas been mo- nopolised by the demoorats, whose ratification meet- ing in this city was the greatest held since the days of Gen. Jackson. But even with them the enthusiasm is dying away, from the very opposite cause which has extinguished it among the whigs. The whig party have lost ali spirit, because they are conscious of their utter weaknese, and know they are doomed to defeat. Thedemoorats are so satisfied that they have the game in their hands, without even an ef- fort, that the contest has lost for them that exci- ting interest which doubt and uncertainty over pro- duce. Whatever amount of enthusiasm was af first late and entertaining intelligence from all pointe of | enkindlod, or is still loft in the ranks of the demo- the American continent, among the most curious of cracy, is not for the candidate—but for the prospects which is the announcement, in a despatch from of progress which the success of the party holds out, New Orleans, that the steamship Daniel Webster | and, to a considerable number, the anticipated pos- from California.

What else could in- duce their press and their oraters to resort to such low seurrility and blackguardism in assailing the personal character of the democratic candidate ? The speech of the Hon. Mr. Stanly, of North destroyed | Carolina, a member of Congress, is below a third rate rum and rowdy oration. It is of the Rynders order; but far inferior in point of ability, or even decency, to the cut and thrust epeechor of the | Captain of the Empire Club. It is degrading to a member of Congress; and, like the recent scone in the House of Representatives, in which the lic was 8o freely given, it is the roeult of being gradually Politicians of all creeds will again find a great deal of interesting information in our telegraphic eolumns this morning. Acoarding to our despatchoe, the democratic mass mecting held at Beading, Pa., | and unconsciously imbued with the epirit and style yerterday, was one of the greatest affairs of the sea | of the rufhan, and come line pecan wah eon. This was \o have been anticipated, from the has indulged in this bago and vile vitu; ‘i fact that extensive preparations had been made to from the moment that the whig and de loom eoncontrate, not only the messes, byt likewise the | didates were nominated. race Vast magnitude and importance eonceived, and will probably be carried out by George Law, and several ether large capitalists in this latitude, associated for the parpose, It neods indeed, to be a stupendous affair, to be worthy of any peculiar attention, in this age of mighty achieve- ments, wrought by labor and capital. But such it is. It is nothing lees than the founding of a new city, just opposite oar own, on the wes? bank of the Hudeon, on that tract ot Jand lying between and comprising Jersey City and Hebeken. The prett- minary steps for accomplishing thie grand design will be taken, we understand, at the next meoting of the Common Council of this eity, whon an sppli- eation will be made, on the part of Mr. Law and his associates, for leave to establish a ferry between Hoboken and Jersey City, sscompanied by a grant of all that portion of the river lying between the line of this ferry and the lew water mark on the Jersey coast, up to whieb the authority of the New York Corporation extends. It is the purport and intention of the grantees or lessees, te fill up ali this portion of what is called Harsimus bay, and to build extensive docks along the line, aud also to erect large warehouses, such as those of the Atlan- tie docks, on the Brooklyn side of the Bast river. These docks are to be built of sach dimensions, and with such an eye to the necessitice of eommoree, as will render them the most eligible to be found in the port for the various lines of large osean steam- ers—the British, Californian, West Indian, &c. The eompany will also open up some streets, and build residences on the ground so reclaimed from the sen, and thus form a nueleus for a city destined to be one of great importance. But the desigas of these capitalists are not limited te that tract of land, or to those rights and privi- leges which they may acquire from the New York Corporation. There are several hundred acres of swamp, belonging to the State of New Jersey, lying between the shore and Bergen Hill, and extending from the northern Jimits of Jersey City to Hoboken. These salt meadows are at present of no value, aod may be purchased at a very inconsiderable price. ‘The immense capital undor the control of this asso- cistion, of which Geo. Law is at the head, will enable them to buy up the whole of this tract, up to and even comprising Bergen Hill itself, which can be made use of to fill up the low meadows, and to make good building ground of them. And here, in what is now an impassable quagmire, we will, probably, ina few years, see in a state of formation, the streets and av- enue: ofa future city, uniting Jersey City and Hobo- ken into one, and promising to outatrip inimportance both Brooklyn and Williamsburg. There isno piace in the world offering such advantages and facilities to found 2 progperous city on as this does, both in natural and artificial points of view. It is beauti- fully situated on the estuary ofthe Hudson: and here are now the termini of several great lines of railroad, extending through the country for thon- sands of miles, and connecting it with Buffalo, Dun- kirk, Rochester, Detroit, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Washington, and a vast range of the Western and Southern distriets. The trade and importance ac. eruing to it from this position alone would be almost sufficient to ensure its rapid rise and increase. Brook- lyn and Williamsburg have no such advantageous position to depend upon: their only support, in tha viow, lies in the unpeopled and sandy wastes of Long Island: and, therefore, it may be safely predicted that this embryo city will yet surpass them in mag- nitude and importance. The Jersey bills afford fine facilities for constructing an aqueduct to enpply the city with fresh water, and this will be an under- taking which we may expect to see carried into practical effect besore very long The matter, as we have said, will be brought under the consideration of the Common Council at its first meeting—at least the application for a lease of the ferry will be made, and the other grants and privileges necessary to the preject will accompany or follow it in due time. The undertaking is a grand and vast, but will be 2 most profitable one, to the moneyed speculators who engage in it. The asziga- ment of the rights they seek will not cost probably more than a few thousand dollars; but it will,bo worth to them, in the course of some years, from five to six, or even tenmillionsofdollars. This isthe ago of vast undertakings, and the project we mention is among the greatest of them. Racuiev Rosson ann Hickory Switea— A Mopest Reqvest.—We haye reccived from W. E. Robingon, better known as ‘‘ Slievegammon” or «Richilieu Robinson,” a long letter in reply to our New Hampshire correspondent, “Hickory Switch,” whose letter, which appeared inthe Hrranp on the 18th of August, has effectually shewn up said Robingon’s falsification of resords and perversion of faets, in his speech in the Bowery on the 6:h of August, in relation to the local history of General Pierce and his father. If our readers will take the trouble of recollecting such stuff, they will find that the gist of the whole speech was an attack upon General Pierce’s father, and the State of New Hampshire, holding the son responsible, not only for the sins of omission and commission of his fathor, bot for the delinquencies of the people of a whole State, of all shades of politics. We published a re- port of that speeeh by our own reporter, whoao ac- curacy was not questioned at the time, aud that was the speech actually delivered. In several suc- cessive numbers of the Tribune and Times, was published, in parts, what purported to be a report of the same speech, but which was a pamphlet written beforehand, and in typo before the meeting com- meneed. It is unnecessary to say, that this wasnover delivered, as it would be physically impossible to do it in thrice the time occupied by the speaker. Tho result was that our report contained some points omitted in the previously printed speech, and which probably occurred to the orator at the time of speak- ing, while of course the “‘ cut and dried” versien contained many things left out of the spoken speech. “Hickory Switch,” in order to make sure, replied to the two versions—the true one that appeared in the Hrnaup, and “ the authorized” one that appear- edin the Tyibwne—and he made minced meat of both, convicting Robinson of twelve falsehoods in all, and elaiming one hundred dollars for each, which Robinson promised to depoeit and fork over for every misstatement proved against him, but which he appears to have totally forgotton from that day to this. On the contrary, he has been in- dustriously engaged in circulating the speech, false- hoods and all, ever since, as a campaign election paper. And now this hack writer of the Tribune and Times makes the very modest request that we should pub. lish a letter of his—probably containing more mis- representations than the original speech. We publish- ed hia speech, and we published ‘‘ Hickory Switeh’s” stricturesin reply. This is about as much as justice requires. But we will be liberal; andifthe Tribune and 7¥mes publish, even now, the reply of “ Hick- ory Switch,” which they were injustice bound todo long since, we undorteke to publish the letter of their “Man Friday,” alias ‘* Richelieu,” alias “ Slievegammon,” alias ‘‘ Humbug Rebiason.” Lot them be just, and we shall be generous.

If the national vention of women, at Syracuse, should declare for General Scots, he will, undoubted.y, carry the day, and the democratic candidate will be overthrown. The women, therefore, hold the bulanze of power in their bands; and we would suggest that the com- mittee address a communication to Geuvral Svott requesting him to write a letter and pledge himeclf to the cause. This being published, a double pur- pose would be served, first to give an impetus to the whig eause and to eréeate an excitement in tho whig camp, whieh has been particularly dull of jate—aud, second, to commit General Scott to the Women’s Rights platform, by whieh essential service will be rendered to the cause of lovely, suffering, op- pressed womonkind.

A large nuwber of those who had friends on board the Reindeer. immediately took the train to Red Hook, whence they would proceed to the nuw scene of desolation. ‘The particulars of this shockivg calamity are as fol- jows :-— ‘Tbe Reaindcer left this city at seven o'clock yerterday morning, under the command of Uapt. C. W.

Bristol. We have them at the hotel. In sccordance with the request of the second despateb, Mr. Williamson forthwith directed a messenger by the Hudson River Railroad to the scene of the calamity. On the arrival of the Albany train, at ten o’clock last evening, quite a number of persons wero at the depo! anxiously waiting to hear the extent of the calamity, and Jeurn the fate of their friends, who. only a few hours be fore, they had parted with, as the boat left the shore. But this anxiety was only increased, as no perscn could be found who came from the boat whereby any of the names of the killed or wounded could be ascertained, However, we learn ed, throvgh the politeness of Mr. Simpson, the very efficient superintendent of the railroad, that tho esti mated number of scalded was eighty, and that thirty of that number were seriously, if not fatally injured, and that eight or nine were killed. Mr. Simpson also informed us that the accident was caused by the bursting of the stesm pipe or chimney, the explos on of which carried away the pilot house, aud also shattered the upper saloon. The boat when the explosion took place had made the Janding at Bristol, and was just leaving. TELEGRAPHIC. DESCRIPTION OF THE CATASTROPHE BY A PASS- ENGER. Axsany, September 4, 1852. From a passenger who was on board the Reindeer, we leovn that the boat was under fall speed all the morning, and It was supposed the object was to arrive in Albany in season for the Saratoza and Western passengers to take the four o'clock railroad train, There was no steam let off, after leaving New York. ‘The explosion took piace while the boat was landing and receiving passengers at Malden dock. A large mumber of the pascengers were at dinner, at thy second table in the lower saloon, and it was there, where the greatest destruction of life took place, as the boilers sre below deck. We did not learn the names of any of the killed. A mojority were waiters at the dinner table. Amnoug those badly scalded are tho following: — Rev. Mr. Williams, wife, and obild, of Amity, Schenec- tady eounty. Mr. Hoyt, assistant captain, and wife. The steward was badly injurod, and. it is thought, will not survive. ‘The clerk is among the killed. There were eleven known to be dead, and over thirty scalded and rome very badly, When the passengers took the ears, the wounded were taken on shore, and the citizens were engaged in render- ing all postibte assistance. ‘here were some three hundred passengers, among whom the greatest confurion prevailed, several throw themselves overboard into the river. THE LATEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC PARTICULARS. Savornties, Sept. 4—6 P. M. ‘The steamer Reindcer, Capt. Charles W. Farnham, left New York at eight o'clock this morning. and arrived at Malden, Sangerties landing at o qaarter after one o'clock P.M She had landed the Saugerties passengers. and was diawing in her gang plank. when the pipe which connects the flues. called the connection of the return flues, burst. ‘The eteam rushed out between decks, tearing down a temporary bulk bead and passing through a pantry into the lower cabin, where a number of passengers were diving. The work of destruction in the dining oabin was com- plete. every person there being either killed or badly in- jured. The steam also parsed up the chimney, carrying away the smoke pipe, which fell across the hurricane deck breaking it down No persons, hewover, were injured above the deck, ex- cept the engineers and cooks.
