J Interesting Narrative of Facts. Three Vessels burned at sea wonderful escape of the passengers. KttATED BY A LADF WHO WAS OJC BOARD. In eur paper of the 12th ult., we gave a brief account of the destruction of three ships by fire; these ships were. laden with coal. A remarkable Fact was then men tioned respecting the wife of Capt. Bates, who was in succession on board these three ships when on tire. The Boston Journal has been furnished bj Mrs Bates with the following very in teresting particulars of the destruction of these ships. It is seldom the tot of a wo man to pass through such a continued se ries of dangers of a character so trying as those recorded in Mrs Bates' letter. The letter is dated Bay of Sechura, Coast of Peru, Jan. 7 1851, and after a few lines of a private nature, says : After we left Baltimore we proceeded on our voyage pleasantly- Nothing oc curred to mar our enjoyment until we were about in the latitude ot the River Platte, when William discovered smoke issuing from the after hatch, and then the startling truth flashed upon our minds that the ship was on tire. She was loaded very deep with coal which was taken out of the mines, brought directly down to the ship in the cars, turned (sometimes soaking wet from the rain that fell on the way,) directly into the ship's hold and there it had remained heating through all the hot weather, until the gas that originat ed from it had generated fire. This re sult was feared by some before we sailed. Imagine our situation eight hundred miles from land on board a burning ship, with very inclement weather, so rough that boats like ours could not possibly live for any length of time. There was no other way but to smother the lire if possi ble, and bear up for the nearest land the Falkland Islands. The crew immediately commenced setting up provisions water sufficient to last until we could arrive at the Islands, and during the short time they were employed between decks, so powerful was the gas that some of the men tell down senseless from its effects They then caulked every seam and the hatches as tight as possible, and yet gas and smoke would escape through seau:s which were apparently water-tight. The gas finally filled the. cabin so that we were obliged to vacate it. We were in momentary expectation of an explosion, as such things had been known to occur in similar situations We had our boats rea dy to launch in case the tire broke out, although we did not suppose for a moment they could live. It was extremely cold weather, and I was wrapped up in all the warm clothes I could get on, and was ob liged to stay on deck for fear of the effect of the gas. Before 1 left the cabin it near ly suffocated me. I was so fatigued for want of sleep that I lay down on the floor and fell asleep, and when I awoke I could not stand, and could scarcely breathe, until after I had a fit of vomiting, which reliev ed me. We were eight days in this situa tion before we discovered land. There were two men stationed aloft to keep a look out, and William was on the house. It was very thick, ami soon William sung out " Land oh f" I shall uever forget the joyful sound. Presently the high rocks, called the Volunteer Rocks, which make off two miles, began to heave in sight, and I can assure you those barren rocks presented to us a most welcome appearance. We ran into a little cove, under the lea if ti e land, and anchored that night, for it was blow ing a close reefed top sail breeze, right down the harbor. The next day we beat up to the settlement called Port Stanly, an English colony, consisting of 400 peo ple. W'e had a survey upon the ship opened the hatches and found her all on fire We commenced throwing water into her hold with an engine, but the fire still increasing there was no alternative felt but to run the ship on shore and scuttle her. This -was done, and after the fire was extinguished we went to work and stripped the wreck. Everything between decks was saved in a damaged state, ami was sold at auction. She was dreadfully burnt inside. Her beams and stauncheons were burnt off, and her lower deck had fallen in. She was so burnt at the bottom that she billed immediately, although she was run on shore where it was very soft bottom. After the busi ness was all settled, we should have come directly home, but the island being very litt'e frequented by vessels, we might have remained there a year perhaps before an opportunity would have enabled us to return. There was in port a Scotch ship from Dundee, bound for Valparaiso, called the Ilumayoon. Captain Mc Henry, master, and he said he would take us to Valparaiso, from whence we should be more likely to have an oppor tunity of returning "home. We left the Falklands about the 25th of November, in his ship, -which was loaded with coal, but which had been in so long that we thought there was no danger from it. We had been at sea 12 days, and was just round Cape Horn, when we discovered the ship to be on fire, and it increased so rapidly that in three or four hours she was in flames. We were at this time seventy miles from land, and immediately made prepara tions to take to the boats, preferring to take our chance of gaining the land, al though it was an inhospitable coast, in habited only by savages. Just at this mo ment a sail hove in sight We hoisted a -signal of distress, and she bore down for us. She proved to be an English shin called the Symmetry, loaded with coal, bound to Acapuico. i;apt. Thompson, her com mander, took us all on board, and in short time we saw the fine ship Humayoon burn bound to San Francisco. . She loaded at Baltimore with coal at the same time we did, and the Captain was well acquainted with William. Judge of his astonishment to learn that we were on board the Sym metry. He immediately invited us to come on board his fine ship, and we at once accepted the invitation. The' ship was 1000 tons burthen, and had on 1200 tons coal. On the 25th of December, when we were in the Pacific, 1200 miles from the land, we discovered the Fanchon to be on tire. Efforts were immediately made to make her as tight as possibte, and Capt. Lunt shaped his course for the main land. We were on board this burning ship three weeks, and imagination cannot conceive the anxiety of our minds during this time. We never saw a sail of any kind from the time the tire was first discovered until we saw the land, and then nothing but those little Catamasans." Capt Lunt ran the ship into a small bay. called the Bav ot Sechura, and anchored about two miles from the shore, at 4 o'clock, P. M. He immediately commenced land ing the dunnage in the serf, on a good san dy beach. A tent was built, and after taking every thing oft the ship's deck, they opened the hatches, and no sooner were they raised than she was one sheet of flame below The hatches were put on again and she run on shore and scuttled, but the flames were too far advanced to prevent her from burning. And there lay that noble ship in this lonely bay, and burned to the water's edge. Oh! it was awfully grand ; it was a scene never to be forgotten. Give the freest flight to the imagination, and it cannot conceive any thing to surpass the reality. Think of the danger we incurred in remaining so long (three weeks) on board that burning ship. She was actually all burnt out. inside. In one day more it would have burst out at her sides; Twelve hun dred tons of coal with all her other cargo. and and all on fire, made no trifling heat to be living over. But then we hesitated to take the boats until we were compelled, on account of the sufferings we should have to endure in an open boat at sea. The coast where we are now staying is uninhabited The nearest settlement is 50 miles from us. The Bay of Sechura is on the Coast of Peru, about 50 miles from Pay t a. The first officer, with a boat's crew, have now gone up to get the American consul to render us assistance in getting us away. This is a most picturesque spot where we are encamped. We hs.ve four tents pitched on the beach, while close behind are cliffs rising hundreds of feet above us, and as far as the eye can reach are moun tains rising one above the other. The burning of the ship was an event which will long be remembered by us all. The flames roaring and raging to the very top mast heads, lighting the whole heavens the mountains in the back-ground brought into full view with us poor mortals stand ing upon the beach, witnessing the sublime scene, presented a picture well worthy the artist's pencil. The roaring of the surf, for once, was completely drowned by the louder roaring and crackling of the flames. It was an awful sight to see the ship Ilumayoon burnt at sea. B'lt then it was day time, and it had not the grand appearance of a fire at night. 1 have been on board four different ships since 1 left Baltimore, and have been burnt out of three of them. They were all coal laden. While at the Falklands we heard of a large American ship, loaded with coal, being burnt tiff Cape Horn; the crew took to the ports and succeeded in arriving at Cape Negro. We did not learn her name.' It seems impossible for any of the ships that loaded at Baltimore at the time we did to arrive at their destina tion. The Fanchon was the best fitted in respect to ventilation, and she has not escaped. It is a dangerous cargo to have so long in a ship it may do for a short voyage. A postscript (o the letter says that the writer remained on the beach for one week. wnen me wnoie party was taken on uy a brig and carried to Payta, where they were entertained at the American Consul's house.

The case of the State vs. Brayil Wood and James Simmons for the murder of one John Davis commenced on Friday, and a verdict of manslaughter was rendered about two o'clock on Saturday. The case was, that on the 1 Ith of Novem ber last, at the house of Areta Shingleton in Duplin county, the deceased with the prisoners were engaged in drinking and carousing, when a quarrel arose between Davis and Wood Wood at the time being lying down in the back room of the house, and Davis dancing in the front room. Wood asked Davis if he wanted to fight him, who answered that he did; thereupon Wood came out of the back room into the front room, and leaned against the mantel piece with his knife half open. Soon the deceased with the prisoners and Shingle ton went out doors, when a general fight ensued, in which Davis received wounds which caused his death. His Honor charg ed the. jury that it was a case of murder. Both the prisoners were branded. Wood imprisoned foi twelve, mouths, and Sim mons for ix.-Goldsboro Republican.

New Orleans Cres cent, March 22. OFFICIAL. Department or thb Interior, 7 Pension Office, March 20, 1851. $ New questions having been presented in the execution of the Bounty Land Act of September 28, 1850, and some of the rules and regulations heretofore prescri bed either misinterpreted or disregarded, the following instructions, approved by the Secretary of the Interior, are issued for the benefit of all persons interested: 1. The act of February, 11, 1847, having restricted land bounty for service in the Mexican war to the non-commissioned efficers, musicians, and privates of the regular army, the claims of commis sionedofficers in that service are for the first time recognized by the act of 28 Sep tember, 1850. It was not the.intention of that act to bestow bounty land on the whole army of the United Slates icherever located, but only on those whose service was connected with, or had a direct refer ence to that war; nor can the act be prop perly construed to embrace the officers and employees attached to the War Depart ment in Washington, their service not be ing of that kind which was contemplated. It is not necessary that officers should hae been actually within the limits of Mexico, or on the borders thereof, provided they were actively engaged in the war and di rectly connected with its operations. 2. In the war of 1812, troops were fre quently called out by State authority and not immediately mustered in the service of the United States. If the Federal Gov ernment paid such troops from the time ot their enrolment, and before they were ac tually mustered in the service of the Uni ted States, that payment is equivalent to a recognition of their service from the date of the enrolment. The time for which they were paid by the United States fur nishes a convenient and practical standard for estimating the period of service. 3- The conflicts with 'the Creek In dians, which commenced about 5th ot May, 1836, and ended 30th 6f September 1837. are considered as embraced by. the act of 1850; large bodies of troops having been mustered in the United States ser vice, and several engagements having oc curred, attended by the loss of many lives in battle, within that period. The distur bances on the southwestern frontier in 183G;in the Cherokee country in 1836 and 1837; and the New York dis'tut bai-ces in 1838 anil 1839, are not considered as em braced by the provisions of the act of Sep tember, 1850. 4. It has been settled that Indians who were regularly mustered into the service; of the United States, and formed a compo nent part of the line of the army, were entitled to the benefit of the act. In the case of the Cherokees who have an organ ized government and a judicial system in operation, the affidavit in support of an application for land bounty must be made before one of their Judges, whose, official character shall be certified by their princi pal Chief. The Creeks having no judicial officers, the United States agent in tha? nation is authorized to administer the ne cessary oaths. 5. It has been heretofore stated that "teamsters and artificers were notentitled lo land bounty;" but this is not to be so un derstood, if such teamsters or artificers belonged to the line of the army, and were regularly detailed for that particular kind oi service. 6. Surgeons employed by a commanding officer at a stipulated rate ot compensation, but not commissioned or belonging to the line of the army, are not entitled to land bounty. 7. It has been decided by the uepart- ment that the substitute performing the military service, and not the employer, is entitled to the land bounty; but when the engagement is partly performed by both, eacli is entitled to his share according to the period of service. ' 8. Where the declaration of the claim ant on oath, supported by a regular1 and authentic discharge, is in conflict with the military rolls, the former, as a general rule, will be preferred. And when the rolls are altogether silent as to the claim ant, the positive testimony of officers and soldiers with whom he served and whose names are found on the rolls, will be received as evidence. 9. The act of September, 1850, ex cludes all persons who have received, or are entitled to receive, land bounty under any act of Congress, heretofore passed. In all applications hereafter presented, f reason able time being allowed for these instruc turns to circulate,) it will be required that the claimant shall state in his declaration that he has not received uor is entitled to receive such bounty. 10 The Department has decided' that widows are entitled to the land bounty of deceaseil soldiers, if they were widows at the passage of the act of September 28. 1850. This is the law in its general application. But the widow of an officer or soldier killed in battle is entitled to the maximum allowance of one hundred add sixty acres, without reference to the period of her husband's service. And, although a married woman at the passage of the act. if unmarried at the date of her application, her claim is valid. 11. The death of an officer or soldier may be proved by satisfactory evidence, and if such officer or soldier should die af ter the declaration filed at the Pension office, but before the issuing of the warrant, it shall be competent for the widow, or if there be no widow, for the minor children to apply for the said warrant and receive the same, on filing the neccessary proofs of title. Considerable anxiety prevails in some 5-LK,aSE?-" ssz i ssriSs fresh spring goods no special acknowledgment had been made . ol the Commissioners shall designate, until to claimants. Earl? in December a prim- , a perui.ucm j..e ...an uc w-- ed circular was prepared and dispatched by everv mail, acknowledging the receipt of claim's; but as it was impossible, for obvious reasons, that this circular could De forwarded to previous applicants, it was necessarily confined to the future. Hundreds, without a knowledge of these facts, have been surprised that their own applications were neglected, when others subsequently forwarded, have been ack nowledged bv mail. If those who sent feieir claims prior to the ISth of December will wait patiently, they win inuueuuie be advised, either in the form of a warrant or by letter, assigning the reasons of sus pension or rejection Up to this period, the office, with all its force faithfully ap plied, has only been able to issue between seven and eight thousand warrants on de clarations received in October and early in November. Some time, therefore, must elapse before the numerous claims which arrived in November and early in Decem ber can be finally acted on, or of which the claimants can be informed by the usual printed acknowledgement. Up to the present time, about one hundred thousand applications have been received, and every day's mail brings an increase, varying from five hundred to a tluu?.and. The office is now issuing between a thousand and twelve hundred warrants a week ; but more than eighteen months must elapse before the claims now on hand can be dis posed of, or matured into t e form of war rants. Thtf number of applications hav ing increased so far beyond what was an ticipated, in order to satisfy the public demand additional force was asked of Con gress near the close of the late session, anil the request would doubtless have been granted had it been made at an earlier period. If granted hereafter, the work will, of course, be accelerated, and the time for its completion shortened Singular misconceptions exist as to the time necessary to execute the law. The rule of the Department is, that each claim shall be acted on in turn, or in the order in which it i received ; anil this rule has been rigidly and impartially enforced. It would be tedious and unnecessary lo describe the process by which the claims are conducted from their first reception and acknowledgement to the final issuing of the warrants. In order to guard against error and imposition, they are carefully registered and classified, and subjected to separate examination in different hands, no advantage in any respect being gained by a iiurried and ill-digested method of proceeding. With all these precautions errors will unavoidably occur, but mean will also be employed to render them harmless. All persons interested in the law, or desiring information in regard to it, are requested to address their communications directly to this office, to which ' they are referred if sent to any of the Departments.
