The Lare Sreansoar Disasrers—IavortTane PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JuRY.—The Grand Jury of the United States District Court, previous to their discharge for the term, yesterday dolivercd to the Judge a very important presentment on the criminality of steamboat racing, and a remonstranco against the practice, which has resulted in auch wholesale sacrifices of human life, a3 in the cases of the Henry Olay and Reindeer disasters. They dopro- cate the deliberate and habitual contempt of tho wise provisions of the law enacted for the better so- curity of the live: of passengers, as exhibited by owners and masters of boats on the Nerth rivor ; and empbatically call upon the government officers to enforce, vigorously, the penalty of such temerity. Tho Grand Jury also present that the steamboats on the North river are very inefiiciontly provided with pf fy Ni aR Sed "ve nronen eriniee t+ fire or for securing tho lives of passengers in case of disaster. There is no discipline observed on board; and they suggest the propriety—a vory signated by some badge of authority, eo that they ehould be known in emergencies. They likewise stato that the practice of raciug against rival boats, railroads, and against time, has been of late very presentment, though not drawn up with the idea of creating an effect by force of language or studied to the bost interests of the community ; and we aro indictments on those two very grave and important cases of wholesale immolation at the shrine of ava- ness. The New York Thertrc—Close of the Season. ‘The seaton at the New York theaire was brought to | en untimely clore yesterday evening, on which occasion Mz. Stark, who has been playing a round of sterling char- acters, took his benefit. The pieces selected for repre. sentation, were the “Lady of Lyons” and “The Toodles,” | which, along with the ciroumstance of being the last | night, prerented sufficient attractions to draw together « pretty mumerous and respectable audience. Mr. Stark pervonated Claude Melnotte, and by tho aid of Mra.

An cruinary attention to the responsibilities the own. evs assume, in conveying passengers on vessels propelied by steam. should require from them a full provision of the appliances of fire engines, fire buckets, boats and life prerervers, to meet the casualties incident to that mode of navigation ; and whether the origin of fire on board a steamboat be attributable to mere acéident or criminal fault. the history of all such ocourrences shows that the lose of life on these occasions, would have (opel Spon Teduce¢ by having the meuns at hund for aaving pas- sengers frem drowning The Gand Jury therefore ere. sent to the consideration of the comaiunity, the im- portance of requiring from steam)out ownerr, in addition to all due precautions against the occartence of disaster, & cnflicient equipment of proper appliances for the reservation of life when the disaster oocurs, The vestigation of there cases bas called the atten- tio ot the Grand Jury to another defect fn the manage- Ment of these steambonts, which they present to the attention of the court They tind that there is uo com- mand, discipline, or subordination, on board the boais. at all adequate to the emergencies which may at any time arise in the progrees of this navigstion.

All these evils—uch great Gisturbances in the safety, regularity, and comfort of steambont travelling, for which this river was, for many years, 80 justly oelebrated—it is in the power of the tra- veiling community to repress and correct; and the height and extent which they have now reached demand a thorough, decisive, and persevering exercise of public opinion and public section. to restore this favorite mode of travel to the just conditions of prudence and safety, nader which slone can it flourish. The Graud Jury have confined thelr sugzestions to the steaanbcat navigation of the North river, a the facts on which they are based have come to their knowledge from their investigations into the two cases of destruction of Ife which have both happened on that river. They desire, however, to call the attention of the law officers of the United States to the steam navigation on other waters of this district, that ifany provisions of law be violated therein, they may be properly proceeded with.
