B.— EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE FISH, ETC. Bostoy, June 18, 1853. New Brunswick papers to the.16th inst., have been re- ceived, On Tuesday, H. M. steamer Argus, Commander Purbes, arrived at St. John, bearing the flag (white at the fore) of Sir George Francis Seymour, Kt. G.C. H., Vice Admiral of England and Naval Commander-in-Chief onthe North American ani West Indian station, A sa- lute was gyed, and shortly atter the Argus came to an- chor Sir George landed at Reed’s point, where he was received by the officers in the garrison, anda guard of honor from 76th regiment, From thence he proceeded to the St. John’s Hotel, accompanied by his son, Capt. Seymour, of the flag ship Cumberland, and Commander Purbes, of the Argus. Next morning Sir George proceeded to Frederickton, on a visit to the Lieut. Governor. At a meeting of the Common Council on Tuesday after- noon, it was resolved that an address from the city should be presented to the Vice Admiral, expressing the appro- bation of the citizens of St. ‘John of the firm, but judi- cious and discreet manner in which the colonial fisheries were protected last season against foreign aggression by him, and the naval forces under his command, and trust- ing that the same desirable course will be pursued this year. The New Brunswicker says :—“It is understood that this visit of the Vice Admiral to our provinces is con- nected with the measures which have been and are about to be adopted this season, for the more eflicivat protes- tien of the fisheries. A schooner, hired by Sir George Seymour, kas been manned and armed for the purpose of guarding the entrance of the Bay of Chaleur, between Point Miscou and Point Mackerel, on the Gaspe shore, in order fo prevent all intrusion on the waters of the Bay. The steamer Rose has alto been hired and armed to cruise off Prince Island, and prevent trespass there. Beat stations have been established at various points on the gulf coast; and these, with the ships of ‘war and hired vessels, will, we hope, this season, effectu- ally prevent ¢ ton intrusions upon our fishing grounds, of which the colonists have so long and so justly complained.’’ State Temperance Society. SECOND DAY. Rocngster, June 17, 1853, The State Temperance Society met at half past nine o’clock this morning, Edgar B. Day in the chair. Prayer was offered by Rey. Mr. Hamilton.

Most of the afternoon session was consumed in the dis cussion of « resolution requesting clergymen to preach upon temperance, &c.

It requiring unanimous consent, it could not be received. CATHOLIC BILL. Mr. Warp, (whiz) resumed the floor, and continued his remarks in opposition to the bill. He regarded it as one of the schemes by which Papal supremacy would ba gained in this country, and that was the ground of his ‘opporition to it.

Mr. Baxcock, (whig) then offerei an amendment, ad- ding @ proviso to the first section, to prevent abuses it wos feared might grow up under it; which was adopted usanimously.

Lost, by 16 to 16, Mr. Bancock moved an amendment to test the quos- tion, he raid. whether we are goivg to destroy the elec- tive principle now resogaized in all our Protestant churches. The amendment provided that the trustecs tmoust be elected. Mr. Prexck, (Jem.) said all this matter rested entirely with the churches themselves just where it should. We had no busisess to interfere with their church by-laws. ‘Mr. Bristor said it was establishing a religious test. It was going beyoud where we had any right to go.

Mr. Bornovans, (ind. dem.) of Orleans inquired if it required more than a majority vote to order this bill toa third reading. ‘The Cus replied that it did, as it would require a suse pension of the rule. Mr, Burrovcus then moved to refer back the bill with instructions to report complete, The Cuair stated that it would require a three fourths vote to carry this motion, as it also required a suspension of the rule.

She put in for the purpose of obtaining men, five of her crew having deserted at Matanzas, and were afterwards picked up in a boat off Cape Florida, and car- ried into Key West.

Various rumors have been afloat in reference to the final disposition of the body of Arthur Spring, and the following paragraph in & morning paper has created some excitement:— Missing —It is currently rey that the body of Arthur Spring was not interred as requested by his son, but upon the coffin being opened, it was found to contain nothing but a log of wood. Can it be possible that his remains have been disposed of for the benefit of a charit- able institution? We have taken some pains to ascertain the truth of this sory, and we have obtained the following affidavits, which were taken on Monday last, before Alderman Reger, of Penn District: — AFFIDAVIT OF CHARLES BR. FERRIS. I, Charles K. Ferris, having been catled upon by Richard Hill, of Francisville, sexton of the city ground, to exam- ine ‘the contents of a coffin brought there by the Rev, Jobn Street, and others, said to contain the body °f Arthur Spring, Sr., executed on Friday last, the 10th inst, according to the laws of the State of Peanaylvania, the said coffin being opened in my presence, contained a log Ge havin and seme clothing, and no portion of any human ing.

Mr Hester, who was shot by Mc. Morrison, on Wednos- day afternoon, was considered to be in a slightly improved phyrical condition last night, although there is still ap- prehension cf derth from the wound which he on tist Occasion received. Yeuterday morning, Justices Goddard and Donn sgain visited hig, and took bis otavomont of theaffair under oath, his former cath having been made withont the sacred obligation to fell the truth ; bat being warned by the attending physician that he might not live more than twenty minutes, “as a dying man,” be at that time made his statement, the substance of much of which he now repeats, although the tro narra tives differ in rome particulars.’ According to the latest, he was struck at the first fire, the second missed him and}the third took effect on Mrs. Moraison, the pistol being aimed directly at her. It was then snapped at him, when he grappled with Mr. Morrison, and turned the Girestion of the weapon, He does not know whether Mr. Morrison fired through the window or not. With re- gitd to being discovered without his pantaloons, he thinks e requested the first person who came into the room im- mediately after the shooting. to loose thom, or take them off, as whey wore too tight, feeling as if he wore dying. In the course of a few days, we presume, a fuli investi- gation of the affuir will be made, when something more reliable than rumors and ex, parte statements will be eboited. - Justices Goddard and Donn, both in their commitment of Mr. Morrison, and in their statement o° tte examiua- tion of Mr. Hester, give his initials as “W. H,”” whereas, on inquiry at his late place of business, it is ‘ascertained that his name is Erasmus W. Hester.—Republic, June 18. Acquittal of William B. Sasscer. The trial of William B. Sasscer, indicted tor the mur- der of Mrs, Emmeline Johnson, in the Criminal Court of this District, was concluded yesterday. Only two or three witnesses were examined for the defense, when, without argument, the case was given to the jury, who retired, and in a few minutes returned into Court with a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner was then discharged from custody.—National Intelligencer, June 18. Snootine Arram IN PHILapeLruta.—About two o’clock this morning, an unfortunate affair occurred at Loudon’s Mansion House, at tue corner of Eleveath and Market streets. It appears that a young man, named John M Jeffries, a boarder in the house, was sitting alone in his 100m, when two persons, named C B, Jenkins end Frederick Couldock, entered the apartment There had previously been some difficulty between Jeffries and Jenkins, andthe former thinking the object of the in- truders was to atiack him, drow a pistol and fired, The weapon was loaded with shot, which took effect upon the loft side of Jenkins, inflicting a slight flesh wound. {tis rumored that the two persons who bad entered the room afterwards attacked Jeffries, and that the latter, in de- fending himself, inflicted some pretty severe blo vs on the heads of his aséailanie, Omloer Kitheart, of the M ayor’s night police, heariug the report of the pistol, entered the house and took Jefiricy into custedy. Tho latter was taken before Maycr Gilpin, and he subsequently entered bail, in the Court of Quarter Sessions, in the sum of 31000, toanswer any charge which may be brought against him, ‘The parties in the affair axe wll respectable young men, and the unfortunate occurrence was the result of hot blood. It is fortunate that it was not attended with more serious consequences. A great variety of wild rumors were afloat this moraing concerning the unfortunate affair, but the above is, we believe, the correc: version of the story.— Philadelphia Bulletin, June 18. Beaten TO Deatn.—Between nine and ten o'clock last night a gang of five or rix rowdies entered the bourse of a man named Michael Mullea, on Front street, between Cas alley and Smith street. A number of Irishmen were in the house at the time; some words took place between the parties, which ended ina general aight, in which several Irishmen were badly beaten, and one man, named Patrick Connell, murdered. Officers Cox and Hoff, of the Sixth ward, were close by, and forced an en- trance into the premises, the doors being closed, aud the lights put out, during the melee. They arrested Mulien, the proprietor of the house, and a man named Morris Cornell, brother of the deceased, and the murdered man, whom they picked up from the floor, and after con yeying him o hort cistanee, he dropped down in the wtreet, They then procured n ladder, and carried him to the watch house, where he expired ina fow moments after being conveyed there, The parties who committed the outrage and murder ercaped from the house, but are known, and warrants were issued for their arrest. The murdered man was married only the day before, and has always borne a good character for industry and ‘sobriety. His wife was with him at the time of the difficalty.—Cin. cinnati Commercial, June 16. AFFRAY AND MURDER AT CLARKSVILLE.—A very serious affray occurred on the 24th ult. One Wm. Rubottom rode up into s crowd of twenty-five or thirty men, in the public square, avd made an attack upon Ru- fus Saddler, Tis down off the mule he was riding, drawirg and cocking in vintol; at the same time Saddler drew his pistol also. Rubottom’s pistol exploded the cap, but Saddler» pistol fired, striking K in ths breast. ‘The ba}! came out under the arm, and struck Mr. Batson, who was sitting near, on the thigh. R. then threw his pistol at Saddler, and missed, drew his knife, and rushed on him and cut him severely on the thigh ' The sheriff parted them. Rubottom then drew ao pistol, and shot an old gentleman by the name of botad = through the breast, killing him ina few minutes. He then made an attack on Saddler, and after having fired his revolver at him two or three times, made his escape. He was as- sisted in making his escape by two or three friends. Murphy had loaned Rubottom several hundred dollars, and as R. was about leaving for Californias, was about to attach his property, Murphy, it is ssid,’ was an excel lent and ivoffeprive citizen. Mr. C. Saddler offers a re- ward of $1,000 for the apprehension of the murderer.— Arkansas Herald.

This fatal engualty occurred at a quarter past seven o’clock in the.evening of Thursday last. It appears that about seven every evening a freight train, belonging to the Erie Railroad Company, leaves ths village of Suxque- hanna, destined to the station called Deposit, which is seventeen miles distant. Nearly midway between the two points, eight miles east, is a newly formed location called Summit, and so named from its elevated situation over the Susquehanna river. It ia inhabited by a large number of Irish arti- vans and laborers, with their wives and children. The membors of these families resort daily to Susque- hanna, in order to purchase groceries, and other neces- saries, and are pormitted by the agents of the company to ride home upon the tender of a powerful engine, which is used to puah the above-mentioned freight train up the heavy ascending grading which leads to their houses. No charge is made for the conveyance, and the people have an advantage in being able to get off easily, as the pushing engine is detached from the train just at eir doors. THE ENGINE AND ACCIDENT. Upon Thursday evening, the freight train was brought to the depot by an engine hitched in front, in the ordi- nary wanner. Here engine No. 58, which was an old eight wheeled driver, was placed in the rear, and when the train began to move, & number of men, women aud children, amounting to nearly forty in all, seated them- selves — the tender and aronnd the engine, which was in charge of Mr. Walter B, Arnold, a very experienced and muck respected man. Everything proceeded happily until the train reached 4 place called the Rock Cut, which is distant nearly three quarters of a mile from Susquebanna, and foras © gorge in the road, having a very steop bank, capped. with a church, upon the right, and the abrupt devcont to the river upon the left. The ascending grade leading to the Cutis very steep, being of about sixty-five inches to the mn In a short time after the freight train was out of sight, on Thursday, the inhabitants of Susquehanna were startled by one loud and terrific report, which shook their houses to the very centre. As blasting was being carried on in the neighborhood, they at first attributed the ehock to the firing of am unusually heavy charge ; but upon looking from their windows in the direction of the noise, they raw the air blackened by dark and extraordinary fragmenis flying in all directions, some masses rising to a perpendicular elevation exceediog the top of the church upon the ban ‘The awful eurmise immediately spread that a railroad accident hed occurred, and all hastened to t. ROCK our. Here a dresdful scene presented itself. Engine No. 58 had exploded her boiler, and the ground was strewed with the dea’ and wounded bodies of those who bad teen so lately full of life and hope. The road presented a shoalting appearance It was covered with blood, hair, tendons, and mangled limbs; whilst the boiler and front part of the engine were blown to pieces, and the very iron rail bat- tered into the earth by the strokes of the remaining wheels, as they fell down upon it from the air. Every ore was horrified, aud as soon as their stupor would permit, they found the following was the LIST OF THE KILLED. Walter B. Arnold, engineer of No. 58, aged about fifty years, and a resident of Susquebauna. Mr. Arnold's ead vas cut completely off from the throat at the under jaw, leaving notbiog remaining but the base of the skull near the cervical vertebra. The face was not disigured in the least, und {the head fell uron a heap of wood and stones, with the countenance facing the dresdful scene. Here it set, as if he were jooking at the road from behind aconcealment. His little son. a jad of aboutelezeu years of age, who was wounced, fixst recognized it, aud said, “Here's my father,” et the same moment placing his ‘hand upon the face, when, horrible to tell, the head curn- ed over, and a portion of the unfortunate man’s brain fellout. Mr, Arnold was an American, aud leaves a wife and six children. Michael Casey, Jaborer, aged about seventeen, was a resident of Susquehanna, His body was not much man gled, but he rustained a fracture of his spine, which caured instant death. He wesa native of Ireland, and an irdustrious young man. He was unmarried. Pa‘rick Keeran, laborer, resided at Summit. His body wan dreadfully mutilated the head, abdomen, and limbs being fractured and torn. Catharine O'Leary, wife of a laborer residing at Summit, had her bead blown off, and limbs broken. The hair lay scattered all around, and the bare tendonsef the neck were exposed. She was a native of Irelaud Catharive Slattery, a resident of Summit, had her limbs brokén. and portions of them scatiered on either side of the road. Her heaa was also blowa off. The heedless trunks of the women lay but a few rods from the engive; the shsttered remains of Mr, Arnold and the men were further {rom it. LIST OF THE WOUNDED. Mrs. Ellen Collins, aged about 26 years, wife of John Collins, s laborer, residing at Summit, had her right arw fractured, from the shoulder to the elbow, and sustained besides a compound fracture of the right thigh, accom- panied with awful laceration of the flosh aud protusion of the bone, She wes removed to the Kirk Hones, Gusquehan- na. where chal osterdey evening, under the care of Dr. Field, of FluInge phia, The Doctor entertained some slight hopes of her recovery ot that time, Mra, Collins is a native of Treland, and bas one child. Eliza Stoddard—unmarried~bad her left arm cut off, near the shoulder; the limb lay near Mr. Arnold’s head. When Miss Stoddard was taken up, the firat words she epoke, were, ‘find my arm, if youcan.’’ Sho was car- ried to the-oottage of Mr. Joho Honan, near by, where a very/excellent amputation of the stump was performed the same evening, by Drs. Jackson and Smith, of Sus quehanua, She was easier last evening Miss ‘Stoddard is from the county of Clare, Ireland, and resided with her brothers, at Summit. Gilbert Hill, the fireman, was badly scalded, but had none of his limbs broken. He was removed to the house of the late Mr. Arnold, where he Iny last evening in a state of delirium, ‘Arnold, son of the deceased engineer, aged about cleven, was slightly scalded, and appears to have received ® concussien of his brain from the shock. The Jad al- ways spooks of a fifty cent piece which he lost at the time. It was thought that he might recover. Besides this shocking array, it is almost certain that many persons were blown into the river, but it was care fully searched yesterday, and none were found. , aa the current is very rapid at this pomt, it d that the fragments of their persons were carried away. No person came to Susquehanna yoster- Ony in search of relatives, and this point must remain in doubt until after the news of the calamity is widely circu- Jated. = ‘The concussion of the surrounding air, caused by the explosion, was ro powerful that three Irish laborers who were at Work near the Susquehanna river, were hurled into the water by its force. ‘A gold ring was found near the river in the evening, and fis, Egerston founp piece of coin lying upon the road. Mr, Arnold’s gold watch was also found, uninjured, at a considerable distance from his body. ‘The people infer from there facts that many more have been kil ed than the number found. THE INQUESTS. Justice Seymour empannelled a jury at an early hour in the morning, andj held inquests upon the bodies. A very small amount of testimony was taken, and the jury found the following VERDICT. ‘The deseared persons came to their deaths by an ac- cidental explosicn of engine No 58, and there is no blame to be attached to the different persons having charge of her at the time 4a scientific ius+stigation into the causes which may have led to the explosion is to be made, the Justice did not wish to furnish a copy of the deponitions rooorded, PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. No decided cauce can yet be assigned for this appal- Jing catastrophe. It was the crown sheet of the engine which gave way, and by some it is asserted that she plenty of water in when at the station a few moments fore. If such be the case, the crown sheat or come pipes ander ordinary pressure, as No, 58 'y use for the past three or four Iniely in the shop for repairs, Upon t was said that some of the valves or ext ation, pipes vere found asrewed down and closed, which should have been open, Exercising an unprejudiced common sense reasoning “uohenna bea grdy was consed in the following manner: When engine No, 68 won at the depot she may have had plenty of water in ber tank, but very little in her boiler. Whee she proceeded towards the “Cut” this became more exhausted, and the above it conse- quently very hot, When she neared the fatal spot some pervon in charge may have let in a sudden eugh of cold water, whieh, coming in contact with the heated metal, suddenly generated an amount of gas over the Wator pe to burst the boiler and cause the explosion. This view has Deen taken by some of the most calm of the Susquebanna folk. INCIDENTS. As in the case of the Norwalk slaughter, many inoi- dents were related which would argue # special Provi- dential interferenee for the preservation of the lives of some persons, For instance—Mr. Bennett, agent of the company, wad about genre Mr. Egoratin’s boarding house and ride to the Sudfmit upon the tonder, when he recollected that he had an offi letter to write. and went back to his room. ‘He was thus, probably, saved from death. _ The citizens of Susquehanna frequently enjoy this ride, in order to waik home through their enchanting valley, and one gentleman was on his way to get on the engine, when id ont met another upon business, and was detained by him. > * fs ‘Many other instances were also related. VUNERALS OF SOME OF THE VICTIMS. perhe funeral of Mr, Arnold took place on Friday after- 2. Every store was closed, and the fronts of nearly the entire number were hung with binck. The Society of Odd Fel- lows, of which he was an excellent member, assembled at Odd Fellows’ Hall, dressed in deep mourning, aud formed & procession, headed by the Marshal and efiicers, with wands crossed and craped, The Bidle was borne ia the rear, covered with black silk lace. The procession was followed by the officers and meehanies em floyed in the huge factory of the Krie Company, and all proceeded to the late rusidence of their friend and fellow laborer. The body war borne forth amid the audible grief of his neighbors and friends; and upon a glorious evening, when the noisy hammer of the foundry was stilled and its fires quenched, the remains were deposited in « pictu- Tesque cemetory overhanging the murmuring waters of the Susquehanna. ¢ A most respectable procession of the surrounding Irish residents was formed near to Harmony Hall, im order to attend the funeral of Casey and Kieran.’ They were nearly all attired in black, wad had a number of wagons, in the first leading two of which the bodies were plsced. The pedestrians brought up the rear, marching two and two, ard as they wended their melabcholy wuy towards Lanesberough graveyard, the solemn scene of an aneient was presented under the most feeling and fluences. Our reporter ix indebted to Mr. Gregg, superiatondent of the Erie Corapany’s works, and the conductors of the mornirg and night ‘express trains, for attention during bis visit and journey. THE LATEST. It was reported in New York last evening, that a man, name then unknown, was lying near to the Summit dan- gerously wounded. The Continental Guard. New York, June 18, 1853, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Dear Sir—In your notice (in this day’s paper) of the pa- rade of the Independent Continental Guard, you say the company is composed principally of former members of the Washington Continental Guard, commanded by Capt. Darrow. Sp far I have no objectious; but as to the cause, which you state as to their leaving the Washington Con- tinental Guard, I do object, as an act of injustice to that corps. They did not leave that company of their own ac- cord. I consider this statement due, not only to the company under my command, but also to the regiment to which I have the honor to belovg. As to the number still remaining in the Washington Coutinental Guard, (twenty- five, as stated per account 18th Heratp,) I would remark you have been mininformed, in this as well as other par- ticulars, as the said company now numbers forty men, good and true, and doing duty, and will perform it with credit to themselves and regiment. The company meet at the Fagle drill rooms, corner of Chrystie and Delancy streets, every Monduy evening, where they will be happy to meet their friends.
