THE BRITISH CANDIDATE. !
The London Timrs, in a late article on
the subject of the nominations of the two
parties in this country, expresses its satis
faction at the selection by the Democrats,
of such a decided free trade candidate aa
Gen. Pierce, and says : 'He has our best
wishes for bis success." Speaking of
Pierce's opinions on the tariff, it remarks,
fUpon this point yjre take Gen Pierce to
be a fair representative of the opinions of
Mr. Calhoun, and as such a valuable prac
tical ally to the cofamerciql policy of this.
country." 1 hus, the Whigs will not only
have American Democrats to fight in the
present campaign, but must meet the
English Aristocrat, who, with all his
wealth and power, who is to be arrayed
against Gen. Scott. If the suggestion
and hints of the Times newspaper are re
garded by those whose peculiar interests
it represents, British Gold will be introducr
ed into this canvass, and an attempt made
to control by- its influence the sufferages
of American freemen ! But we do not
fear the result. The people of this coun
try are not such a set of machines as im
pudent Englishmen and the still more imi
pudent leaders ofj British Democracy in
America pretend to believe. They will
answer at the .ballot box in November,
with an indignant No ! the question pro?
pounded to them : 44 Will you come for
ward and: by your votes help to increase
the wealth of British merchants and their
control over the world, to the destruction
of your own industrial classes and the'
improvement of your own country !" Old
Scott has' met and overthrown British
soldiery t and he will not fail, at the pro
per time to show the utter futility of Brit
ish Gold and British Aristocracy when di
reeled against him. I
"An Englishman Abroad" contributes
an article to the July number of Black
wood's Magazine, in which are some spec-,
ulations i upon the political and general;
prospects ofthe United States. He men
tions the tariff as one of the questions that
will enter more or less into every political
combination ; and says that.4the manufac
turers of America! cannot exist, under com-v
petition with England, without a higher
tariff 1" He adds that the south and west
are becoming much more friendly to the
principle of protection than they have
been hitherto. In the face of the testimo

VERDICT ON THE HUDSON i RIVER
! CALAMITY.
The J?r fummoned by the Coroner at Yon-
kers having heard all the evidence
relation to the burning of the Henry CZr$ have
returned la verdict, which, after reca
the circumstances connected with the
conclude! as follows : j
That on the 28ih of July the persons describ
ed as hating been found dead by i lie coroner
and tbe jury, at Yonkers, were paasengers on
board the Henry Clay, where she took fire,
run upon shore and were there corisumed.r
That Jobtj K. Simmons, one of the! passengers
was burnt to death, and that all the other pfr.
sons, either by reason of the shock occasioned
by the collision of the boat with the shore were
Ihrown overboard, or that, in order tof savethemi
selves from being burnt, cast themselves into
lite water, and then and there were drowned
and suffocated, of which drowning and suffoca
tion they died. That on that day, ajbout seven
o'clock in the morning, the Henry Clay left
Albany, pn the Hudson river. That John F.
Tallman (was a captain and one of the owners.
That Thomas Collyer was also an owner, and
that James L. Jessup was clerk. That Ed.
ward Hubbard was pilot, and James Elmen
dprf was assistant pilot. That John Germaine
was engineer. That Charles Merritt was as
sistant engineer ; and that a certain young man,
whose name is unknown to the jury, but who
was employed to attend the bar on said steam
boat, and that they were all on board, and had
each of them part command ol the steamer
Henry Clay ; and that alter leaving Albany on
that day, and while the steamer was navigating
the Hudson river, and while engaged in con
vening passengers, the parties, for the purpose
of excelling in speed another Steamboat called
the. Armenia, or for the purpose of increasing
the speed of the said steamer Henry Clay, did
create or allow to be created an undue quanti
ty of steam, and in to doing did make or allow
to be made excessive fires, and did not use ordi
nary prudence in tbemanagement ofj said fires ;
and, in consequence thereof and through their
culpable negligence and criminal recklessness,
ibe Henry Clay did, at about fifteen minutes
past three P. M. take fire, and was the cause
of the death of the following persons :
Here follows a recapitulation of the recog
nised ana unrecognised bodies found at Yon
kers. And so the jurors say that the deaths of all
the said persons, and each of them, was the
result of an act perpetrated by the said John
F. Tallman, Thomas Collyer, James L. Jes
sup, James Efmendorf, Edward Hubbard, John
Germaine, Charles Merritt, and the said bar
keeper, which act was eminently dangerous lo
others and evinced a depraved mind regardless
of human life, although it was perpetrated with
out any premeditated design to effect the death
of any particular individual. I

TAKE COURAGE, WHIGS.
In the political battle which has just been
fought, the Whigs have partially regained the
ground taken from them by the opposing parly
two years ago; and though the victory is not
comptetej yet this partial success should inspire
them with courage for the great struggle in No
vember. j As much as we shall regret the de
feat of Mr. Kerr, if it shall so turn out, yet we
regard it as much mote important victory to
have carried the Legislature. And this, it ap
pears from the imperfect returns received, the
. Whigs have tlone. Take courage, then, Whigs,
and as soon as the smoke ol the late battle has
passed away, engage with redoubled zeal in
the presidential coutest. With Scott and Gra
ham for Our leaders, who, with their high char
acter and eminent services, have the surest el
ements of popularity, we may expect to arouse
a feeling of enthusiasm quite equal to that of!
1840 ; and as we shall not have Free Suffrage
to -flank us in that contest, we may with great
confidence anticipate a victory in North Caro
lina like that of '40. The Whig cMidateior;
Elector in this district, H. K. Nash1, esq., we
are pleased to say, will enter upon, his duties
in a short time, and we hope the assistant Elec
tors in the different counties will also open the
canvass immediately with becoming zeal and
energy. The People, too, of th District
should second the efforts of their chosen stan
dard bearers, and call meetings in different,
counties, at which they should endeaver to se
cure a full turn out. But three months remain,
in which! the work must be accomplished. Let
every District, every County, 'be thoroughly
canvassed, and the people fully informed in re
gard to the candidates presented for their suf
frages, and the Whigs will have no 'reason to
fear the result. Hillsbor 6 Recorder.

Gas Liglits in the Country .r-The modern
fashion of lighting houses by gas has hitherto
been regarded as one of the peculiar luxuries
of city life, which those inhabiting the! more
secluded portions Ofthe country could not en
joy ; but, among the many Other ingenious con
trivances of this active age, an invention has
recently been made which; seems to overcome
entirely all former objections in this regard, and
not only promises to supersede all other kinds ;
of light, where a large quantity is required, but
greatly to diminish the cost: by enabling every;
housekeeper and factory manager to make his
own gas. ! 1 k i
We had the pleasure on Thursday evening of,
witnessing the operation of an apparatus ofihis;
kind at the house) of Mr.4 W.SC. Dusenbury,
who resides in Orange, and introduced it in bis
dwelling for the purpose of testing its capaci
ties. Il is beautifully simple and compact, oc
cupying but a few! square feet of space, and it
is said lo require no more skill for its manage
ment than a common coal fire.: It consists bf
a small can or reservoir containing a coarse
kind of resin oil, a small stove, and a gasome
ter. The oil passes through a pipe and drips
upon a metallic ptate placed over the coals in
the small cylindrical stove it there flashes into
gas, which immediately rises through ajdepb
site of limestone! placed over the plate, and
thence it passes, purified, through another pipe
to the gas-holder- a sheet-iron drum, rising
and falling in a tank of water, as it is filled or
exhausted. From this gasometer it passes
through the pipes, like all other gas, to the
burners. The apparatus may be separate, and
ihe evaporating part, we are assured, miay be
inserted in a kitchen range, op any other con
trivance for cook i jig or heating. The lght is
remarkably brilliant and pure, emitting no un
pleasant odor or smoke. " ;
The material used in making the gas ) the
first run of liquid broducedin making rosin oil ;
this is sold for a shilling a gallon, which is esti
mated to produce one hundred cubic feet of the
gas. Mr. Dusenbury's apparatus supplies eight
burners, and he estimates the cost not to ex
ceed seven cents per night of five hours' burn
ing. The cost of such an apparatus is $150.

. An Afflicted Family. The family of the
late Professor Kingsley, of West Point, have
been sadly and painfully bereaved. In the year
1834 or 1835, four lovely children died in one
week, of scarlet ferer ; subsequently yet ano.
ther died after prblracted sickness; then Pro
lessor Kingsley, in 1849, Was thrown from his
horse, receiving injuries from which be' died ;
the remaining members of the family, in' 1850,
were thrown from a carriajgo, and the youngest
child, aged five years, was killed. Two daugh
ters, aged thirteen and twenty-one, were among
the lost on the Henry Clay. The heart-broken
mother and one son are the only survivors of
this stricken household. 1

TRIAL OF THE MURDERERS.
John and Jane Williams, charged with toe
murder of Mrs. Winston and her infant child,
were yesterday brought before the Hustings
Court for trial. -j.
Jane Williams was placed at the bar. and
upon being arraigned, plead guilty to the in
dictment. Court accordingly proceeded to pass
sentence of death upon her. Friday, the 10th
of September, was uamed as the day of execu-
non. i ; - ' u
The trial of John Williams was Dottnhned
until Thursday, the 12th instant. He I stead
fastly protests, we learn, that he is wholly in
noceni, and it is proper to say, that the wretched
woman the confessed muideress in every
statement she has made relative lo the horri
ble deed, unqualifiedly exculpates her husband
from all participation in the murder. i
The Court room was crowded almost jtaj suf
focation, by eager spectators, wlio viewed the
accused murderers with the same degree of
curiosity which one might readily suppose
would be bestowed upon ferocious beasts!, ex
hbued to the public without charge.! Jane
Wilhams appeared cowed and heart-slck,
to use one of her own phrases; Her husband
seemed to be awfully frightened at the fate
which apparently awaits him. Indeed.he appear
to be the greater coward of the two. When
sentence of death had been pronounced upon
he woman, she rose and without evidencing
the slightest trepidation, 'i,..., .!.
