Burning of the Steamer John Swasey at New Orleans=Three Liv (From the New Orleans Picayune, Feb. 16th] We haye been enabled to obtain full and authentic details of the incidents connected with the destruc- tion of the fine steamer John Swasey, which was destroyed at our levee yesterday. The John Swasey, cormmmanded by Capt. Owen, was from Yazoo river on her way to this port, loaded with 1,699 bales of cotton, and having on board twenty-four or twenty-six passengers. The fire was first discovered on her starboard side, near to the boilers. She was then running down by the stock landing, in company with the steamer Rockaway. The alarm of fire was immediately given, and Mr Ofdham, the pilot, with much presence of mind directed her course to Gretna. In order to accom: sg this, the Rockaway was beckoned to back er engines; with which request she complied, and | moreover lannched her yaw! and took off two of the | passengers of the John Swasey. The burning boat fortunately strack the New Or- leans dock stem and stern on, and this afforded a goop opportunity for the pa ngers to go on shore. The pilot just before this lost control over her, on ac- count of the steering ropes burning, but had so ex- actly caleulated her course that she made the in- tended point. He escaped by leaping overboard. During the first few moments after reaching the dock, the engines remained at work. The bursting of the steam pipe or some other portion of the machi- nery stopped their operation, and the current imme- diately took her from shore. About this time a colored cabin boy was seen to fall overboard and was drowned. The barber also made a leap for the dock and broke his leg. After leaving the dock the boat floated down stream, her course governed entirely by the current. The chains which upheld the starboard guard Packet and the cotton upon that side fell off. The hoat immediately keeled to the other side, and drop- ped the remaining cotton. She then continued on her way until she struck near the foot of Bienville street. The St. Charles, the Anna, the Gipsy, the Storm, the Texas, the Post Boy, and the Piota, were all in more or less danger from her and from the burni (Rpt which was swept in large bales under their wheel houses. Only the greatest care and ex- ertion preserved them. At one time it was supposed the Swasey would sweep clear of them all, and sink without forther injury.

Miscellaneous, A terrer, dated Nassau, Feb 9, to Elwood Walter, Esq, Secretary of Board of Underwriters, says ship Haidie’s ma- terjals had been saved and sold at Harbor Island. The car- goof sehr Mary F Lutterloh, wrecked at Inagua, was | composed of hoops, shooks, and some provisions, the lat- ter only saved, and sold at’ Nassau; salvage awarded b; Chamber of Commerce 50 percent. Ship Italy, abandoned, had 2,788 bales of cotton, and went ashore at Mantanilla Reef 24th ult. Capt Ryan bargained with the wreckers to | get her off and take her to Nassau for $16,000. Her | masts had been eut away, rudder unhung, and she had | 4% feet of water in her iioid, and crew had refused to do | duty. The wreckers pumped her out, and lightened her | of about 400 bales. and got her afloat on the 27th. &nd | started with her in tow of the largest wrecking vessel | for N. On 28th, Great Isaacs ESE 10 miles, the rudder being altogether gone, with no crew to assist in getting | up jury masts, and ship entirely unmanageable, with a heavy sea and gale of wind, and drifting rapidly to the | northward and westward, they were compelled to aban | don her, after taking the people off, and as much more | property as tho ronr could carry. The sal on the 400 bales taken to Nassau has been settled by the Cham- ber of Commerce at 4744 per cent. Several vassels left Nassau in search of her, but without success. Part of the coffee in Br brig Susannah is damaged, and will be sold. Brig Emma Frances, which was wrecked near Abaco and soon bilged, materials saved and taken to N, salvage 50 per cent. She went on night of Ist inst,fon Man- of-war Key. Schr Everglade, Conner, of and from Blue- hill, Me, for NOrleans, with granite paving stones, put into Nageau 19th ult in distress, with mast sprung; was repairing, and would be ready for sea in a few days. Atsrrer to the Secretary of Board of Underwriters, dated Portsmouth, Va, Feb 21, says:—‘‘The schr H Cast- off, from this port bound to NYork, has returned, with loss of part of her deck load, and some damage to her sails, &c, which she met with off HogIsland. Aschr with colors hoisted for assistance, was seen ashore near Bank river, yesterday: but no assistance could be rendered her. Could not learn her name, We may expect to hear of some damage done on the coast.” A 1arGE Am ship had been ashore at Berry Islands for some days, name unknown; she was got off for $800. Sump Hy Pratt, which was sunk at the wharf at Phila- delpbia, by a block of marble staving her bottom, was raised on Tuesday, by a force pump and tug, and would be taken to the floating dock for repairs. Bark A Fisx, at Boston from Apalachicola, passed 15th inst, Cape Lookout NW 30 miles, a railroad car, several casks, and a camboose house.

Scur HF Baker, before reported wrecked, was seen 14th inst, 4 P M, off Cape Lookout, abandoned, with colors at half mast; schr Dolphin had just taken her in tow. SreaMer FANNY, from New Orleans vie Savannah, before reported sold at Rio Janeiro, where she had putin in dis- ress, was at last accounts waiting the decision of the razilian Court in reference to the sale. As it was in the middle of the holidays, the court would not probably sit before Feb 1. Fifteen or twenty of the crew remained on board, funds having been provided by a party in Rio Janeiro. SteaMER Carouna, which started from Charleston on Wednesday afternoon last, in search of a large ship seen infthe Gulf by the ketch Brothers, supposed the Italy, returned on Saturday morning without finding the cb ject of her search. Lint poat Presipent was towed frem Tarpaulin Cove to New Bedford 20d, for repairs. Notice to Mariners. OFFICIAL. Coast Survey Orricg, Feb 14, 1853. Sim—I have the honor to submit the following table of the latitude and longitude of points on the western coast of the United States, computed in this office, from observations made by Assistant George Davidson. The latitude of San Diego, Point Conception, Point Pinos, San Francisco, Ewing Harbor, and Cape Hancock, depend ench on extensive series of observations. Those of the remaining stations are from preliminary observa- tions, and are probably correct to the nearest second of arc, with the exception of San Clemente and Cuyler’s Harbor, which are only approximate. ‘The longitude from No. 1 to 14 depends on 83 moon cul- minations observed at San Diego, Point Conception, and Point Pinos, for which corresponding observations’ were made at Greenwich, Cambridge, Mass., and Philadelphia; and on differences of longitude by twenty chronometers. The longitude of Ewing Harbor depends on 16, and that of Cape Hancock on 13 moon culminations. the positions in this table may be considered a close approximation to the truth, but are subject to future corrections from additional data :— 2 = 7» fsopm.s2990 ‘foams 00.) = “wavy VI AvaN “Jongg ueS jo pars] 77°"* orpag’ Us Jo og, WaITE}U) BUS Jo JOqIeH* PEARY avs Jo purjs] S¥IOIIN Uy JO PUY[s] Jo pus “Y ‘‘tivqivg RUS UOISSIY IAN “Rpyooo] pos2ue in.
