'We regret le learn that bo memorials of the Hie- tvrjr of tho State, are likely to be procured from tin Hon. F. 3t. Maktim, of Louisiana. In reply to a Letter from Governor Gkaha, making application for any auch document aa are mentioned in the Resolution of the last Seenion of the Legislature, he ayi: " Decnmejita relative to that time, (the Revo tution,) have not been collected by me." - Com' iKK, ct of y b, mee kind, ficii, ed in r Mil. oneti se (or ri y, rfulli in ill mgii m" S'olei ii Ihnr itfd nM Pier. a nd le lo 1 juil TROUBLE IX THE WIGWAM. The Loco Foe of this County attempted to hold another meeting on Saturday last, to settle the knot ty question" Who shall represent us in Congress ?" Bat from some cause or other, the attendance was ery thin, notwithstanding the County was flooded with flaming handbills, and the meeting was filed for Saturday, when there is always a larger number ofpersous from country m town, lliau ou any other day. But sa it was, the meeting just numbered 49 persons all told ! A string of Resolutions was introduced, one of which pledged the Delegates from this County to the Dis trict Convention, to the support of James B. SiixrAao, Esj. This Resolution gave rise to a heated discus sion, but was finally passed by a vote of 26 to 23. Some one said, the vole was not fairly taken, and ill- listed upou another count, which was had with a sim ilar result. The opponents of Mr. Siikparo, however, died hard. The two-thirds rule, which has served the party before at a pinch, was now suggested as the meet proper ruls te be governed by, but no attention Was paid to the hint, and the meeting adjourned. So that the Delegatus were instructed, notwithstanding the declaration of some of the leaders that Mr. Siie fars would not do at all," to vote for that gentlc- . man in Convention aa the nominee. ST Up to the time of putting this paper e Press, (Monday evening,) the Northers Cart due at 9 o' clock, A. M. had not arrived. We fsar seme acci dent has occurred to them. SO. 2& A TERRIBLE STEAM BOAT DISASTER ! Loss or the Swallow!! The usually safe and peaceful navigation of the Hudson has been marked, since the opening of the present season, by an unusual uumber of serious ac cidents , but not for many years hare ws been starlied by an eveut of such magnitude, and, tliereis perhaps reason to fear, of such distressing consequences, as that which we are now called ou to record. - The Sicalloie, it appears, left Albany on Monday evening at six o'clock, having on board passengers in numbers variously estimated at Irom two hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty. At a littles after eigbl o'clock, she struck upon the point of the island be tween Hudson and Athens with such force as to lift the bw entirely out of the water, break the .boat in two, and render iier a complete wreck. The alarm was thoroughly communicated to the shore on either side. The bells of the Churches be gan to ring, and the river was soon covered with torches, waving in the fleet of boats that put off to their assistance ; while the llockeeler, which had fouud it difficult to get up, and the Express, which had now come up, were gradually approaching along side. The found of the bells pealing on the air, the shouiv-of those boats, the light of the waving torches, and the wailing grief of many on the wreck, constitu ted features of a most impressive scene. Several females were seen to be washed off" by the water as it rose above the guards, and all, it is thought, could not have escaped from ths Cabin'. DISTRIBUTION OF SPOILS ' Ths '"Glebe" publishes a list of the persons in the service of the Federal Goverumernment, at Wash ington City and in foreign countries, where the com pensation is by salary. Virginia heads the list, With 114 office-holders, the aggregate amount of whose salaries is $200,39C. From Missouri, Illinois, Indi ana, and Michigan, there it not one, and but oue from Alabama. Some wag remarks that Virginia goes for tubttantiah as well as abttrartioni ! The publication of this list it is supposed, is intended ai a hint that Virginians, having uow more lhau their share, must fxpect but little more say from Mr. Polk, while citizens of other Slates will came in for their fair proportion of the loaves and fishes 1 ri-t a ...ciy aP- t rimo ma.. rvL.K s ADMINISTRATION pointed District Attorney for York count J, Pa., ( portion nf the democratic puny Imve all at jf - GALVANIC VEGETABLES.

Ws learn that at the term of this Court, which was held last week, (Judge Dick presidiug.) the no torious (Iardv Carmjli. was sentenced to be hanged on ths 2d of May next. Masmaduke MrrciiKLL was tried and fuund guilty of sotting fire to the Jail of Franklin Couuty. He had belli imprisoned for some misdemeanor, and by means of a hot iron, succeeded in burning out tin? locks of the doors to Hie room in which he wus con fined. The Prisoner's Counsel contended that, as it was admitted by the State that his intention in burn ing was merely to effect an escape, he waa not guilty under the Statute. The Judge instructed the Jury that if they were couvlueed -beyond a reuaenabk doubt, that the Prisoner wilfully set rhe to the Jail, and any part thereof was consumed, no matter with what inttnt it mat done, it was their duty to find him guilty. Judgment of death having been pro nounced against the Prisoner, his Counsel prayed and obtained an appeal to the .Supreme Court. So we are to have a judicial construction of this highly peual Statute, on a material point. The Jury uuani motisiy recommended the Prisoner to mercy. At torney General iiitakkr appeared for the State : and iiKNRv W. Miller and P. Bisbee, Esquires, for the 1 rom-r. Tho mail of Sunday brought ns later news from the wreck of ('he " Siealiotr," by which we learn that five more dead bodies have been recovered, all of them females, which makes the whole number of lives already known lo have been lost eleven; and, an the Ladies' Cabin is still under water, and has not yet been reached, a great deal of anxiety prevails lest a thorough exploration of the wreck shall prove the disaster to have been much more fatal than was at first apprehended. Of the five bodies last fouud, four were taken from the boat, and one from the river. One has been re cognised as that of Mrs. Cuffik, of West of Troy; another as Mrs. Walker, of New York ; and a third is supposed to be Mrs. Conklin, of Albany ; the other two ore unknown. There are many rumors respecting the fate of other pereons who are reported to be tnissing, which we refrain from publishing at present. CONNECTICUT, ALL HAIL ! " We'll give 'em a touch of that same old lnn. " We'll give 'em a sight of that same old Coon ."' The returns from the elecliou which took place in Connecticut last Monday, indicate a total rout of the Democracy." The Whigs have carried all before them electing Roaia S. Balowim as their Gover nor, and all the other Whig candidates for State offi ce!, besides a majority of both branches of the Legis lature, and the four members of Congress to which the State is entitled. We expected that Connecticut would do well, but the has done gloriously well, and deserves the thanks of her Whig brethren throughout the Union. The changt of a whole State representation in Congress, from Loco Focoism to .Whig mcu and Whig mea sures is most gratifying. The State will be represented in the next Con gress by Foua Whigs, instead of, as in the last Con gress, by four Democrat!. The Representatives elect are : Truman Snrrti, from Fairfield and Litchfield coun ties;, in place of Samuel Simons. Samuel D. Hubbard, from New Haven and Mid dlesex, in place of and over John Stewart, the Democratic Representative of the district In the last Congress. James Dixon, from Hartford and Tolland, in place oi and over Thomas H. Seymour. -John A, Rockwell, from New London and Wind- ban, in place of George H. Catlin. IT Coleman, the ingenious inventorof the " Eo lian Altachment" to the Piano Forte, died suddenly a few days since. After selling his patent-right in this country for upwards of one hundred thousand dollars, Mr. Coleman wentUo England, where bis improved Piano Forte was exhibited less than three months since at Court : affd the inventor found litlle difficulty in disposing of his patent-right in that coun try for a munificent sum. With wealth and honors, which ho had fairly won by his own genius and per severance, he returned home in the last Steamer but one, delighted with his visit to Europe, but more delighted to find himself once more on his native toil. A few days tince, while on a visit lo his fa ther's family at Saratoga, he was taken with quinsy sore throat, and en Saturday evening he expired. O" Mr. McArn, of Fayelteville, who recently had his foot crushed by a Car passing over it at Philadelphia, has since died. FROM TEXAS. The arrival of the alsanishlp New York at New Orleans has put us in possession of dates from Galves ton to the 2.jth, and from Houston to the 2lth ultimo. David F. Kaufman has been appointed Charge d'Affaires to the United Slates. He is represented to be an ardent fiiend of annexation. The Houston S'tar Announces the passage of the Texas resolutions through the United States Congress in tsnns of high exultation. It remarks: " The resolutions will doubtless receive the cordial iipprolnlimi I the citizens of Texas. They admit Texas into the Union as a Slate, and allow her people the privileges ul American citizens. We can t it justice oss no more, uur l.overnmeul will doubtless prompt ly adopt sin !i measures as may be neces-ary lo con summate this great measure. The pcopie aimiwt wilh one-voice- call aloud for prompt and decisive action, and we are confident that the Executive will not be found wanting at this crisis.

" The news (sas Ihe same, paper! of the passage of the annexation resolutions ivas hailed with a burst of enthusiasm by our citizens that has never been ex ceeded. The news of the victorious battle of Sail Jacinto scarcely excited such general and enthusiastic rejoicing.
