Among the victims are those named above.It iv suid several of the gunners, crew, &e, belonging to the ship, were killed or mortally wounded, and several others were missing.The breech of the gun wns severed, and carried .away the bulwark of the ship opposite to it.It was the iron fragments, it is supposed, which struck down so many ou board, and who could not have been be- \u201chind the gun.Cupt Stockton, we learn, is among the wounded, : but it is thought he is not seriously injured.| Colonel Bentou was likewise injured.We under- | stand that none of the iron fragments struck him, | but that the concussion stunned him severely,as well as several others, © A steamboat from Alexandria, which was passing | was sent back to town, and returned with several : surgeons.The Princeton yet lies at anchor at the i place where the frightful accident occured, with the bodies on board.Most of the guests have arrived «in this city.i The President of the United States, who was on i board at the time of the explosion, but who escaped uuhuri, remains with the bodies on board.We understand the Princeton will come up in the mor- | ming.{ Woe have stopped the press at 9 o\u2019clock P.M, to make the above melancholy announcement.astounding event renders us unfit to make any remarks of our own, We can only record the sad | occurrence.| The same number of our paper which contains , the unfortunate Gilmer's address to his constituents, .bears them also an accouut of his death, i The last paragraph in the official notice respecting the Canadian Prisoners, in this number of our paper, i was written by the lamented Upsur, just before start- | ing on the excursion, and are the last words he ever | wrote.| Capt Stockton having, on successive days, extended invitations to visit his ship to the executive and committees of Congress, and then to both Houses\u2014 invited the ladies of the city to an entertainment on this, which was meant as the gala-day of his beautiful ship.It opened brightly, but has closed in the most dreadfci gloom dver our community.The only circumstance calculated to relieve the all-pervading distress, is that of the multitude of ladies who were on board the ship, not one was injured, There were two hundred ladies on board, aod during the two discharges of the gun, were on the deck ; and many of them approached very near to observe the course of the ball after it struck the water.President Tyler was there also, but had attended the ladies to\u2019 dinaer before the third discharge.gives them extensive influence uver the younger portion of the academical body, your Lordship, and the | gentlemen who with your Lordship bava signed this ' letter, call upon us,the authorities of the UTniver- sity, to take such steps as are open te us for protec.| ting the youth committed to our superintending care | from the dangerous influence rendered to, and for securing to them for the future, such tuition as is io strict accordance with the Protestant Church of | England and the constitution of these realms.| It iz undoubtedly true, that within the last few ! years certain tracts or pamphlets havebeen published by several distinguished members of the Univer- | sity, containing opinions and sentiments considered | by mauy to be vot conformable to, or consisteut | with, the doctrines of the Reformed Protestant Church of England, as embodied in the Book of | Common Prayer, aud in tho articles of religion called * The Thirty-nine Articles.\u201d The opinions and doctrines contained in these tracts or pamphlets have been considered, discussed, and replied to in other publications, and those discussions have, at different times, attracted more or less of the public attention, Against the prevalence, however, of erroneou® opinions among its members generally, the University possesses a safeguard in the statute esacted niore than two centuries ago, which provides that every candidate for matriculation should subscribe the Thirty-nine Articles\u2019; and every candidate fur a degree should again subscribe the Thirty-nine Articles, and in addition thereto, the Three Articles in the 36th Canon.The authorities of the University have not lost sight of their duty in enforcing a strict compliance with this statute; nor have they shown themselves indifferent to the improvement of religious instruction within the University.For when he®Majesty was enabled, by recent acts of the Legislature, to provide for the foundation, maintenance and regulation of additivnal professorships of Divinity, the anthorities of the University, with the assistance of convocation, adopted every measure for which they were competent, to carry into execution the views of Government and of Parliament.And they trust that, by perseverance in a course of moderation and waltchtulness, they will be enabled, under the Divine blessing, to train up the youth committed to their care in the pure principles of the Reformed Church of England.WeLLingToN, Chancellor, P.WinTER, Vice Chancellor, Ou behalf of the Heads of Houses.UNITED STATES.Boston, March 2.\u2014The steamship Hibernia left this port yesterday afternoon for Halifax and Liverpool.She carried out thirty-six passengers, 30,000 letters and the usnal number of newspapers.\u2018Washington, Feb, 28.\u2014In the House yesterday, the report on the Rules was acted upon, and the amendments offered by Mr.Dromgonle adopted, ex- | cepting Rule No.14, in his new code, which provided that petitions on the subject of slavery should not be received.On the guestivo, * Shall the rule Furtuer ParticvLars.\u2014I have this moment conversed witha Mr Ellicott, who has jus: come from the l\u2019rinceton.He states that there are only six killed in all, Judge Upshur, Gov Gilmer, Col Gardner, N.Y ;

I gave him some of your late ietters to me to read so that he might know the grievances you have to complain of, and ariive in some degree ncquaints ed with your province.If 1 had your reports, I should have given him au copy, I gave my frst copy to Sir Geo.Grey, Under Secretary, and Mr.Chapman has replaced that one by those you sent him.If these had been in time, I should have met Sir Francis Head, and have explained to him my view of your situation, but | have written to him shortly on these subjects.I enclose you a letter to hin, and send you u copy of that letter, that you may see what I have said to him.« My anxiety is, that yon and all the reformers should receive Sir Francis in the best possible manner, and do everything consistent with principle to meet his views and wishes.Woe think Si1 Francis will do what is pos siblo to conciliate and settle matters, and you must make allowance for the instructions he may have from Down ing street, where I do not think they have yet come lo tbe - resolution of doing to the colonists what they are doing, or striving to do, for the people of the United - Kingdom.« When I tell you that te us, who are on the spot and watching every movement of ministers, there appears 10 be a reluctance to make reforms efficient for the olijects contemplated, and we have still the baule to fight fot extended suffrage\u2014for protection for our electors 1B voting\u2014for equul civil rights to all classes of religious opinions\u2014for reform in our courts of Luw, &o., yo! must not be surprised if the ministers aio not prepare to yield you an elective Legislative Assembly, which is one chief object of your demands.© You must have pa tience, nnd take as much as you can get quietly.| Approve much of the spirit of the speech of Lord Gosford 10 the Assembly of Lower Cunada, and trust that Sir Fran: cis Heud will do as much for you.In that caso, end you will be right to demand equal justice, I would lave yout aly coul ales, foro trial syste Hou of th eithe Lord givet ing s ns Ld his i the disc Hous we 4 now used TR!

and accounts in a great measure for the failure experienced by the Joint Stock Banks in Canada, in disposing of their additional capital in England, although the security may be considered undoubted.s¢ York, 2nd January, 1844.\u201c Dear Sirs, \u2014 Before my departure from Town on the 16th ultimo, in order to attend the Winter Assizes at this place, 1 inseried the advertisement for the Loan in the se- viral papers, of which copies wilt reach sou by this Mail.1 hud delayed advertising till then, upon the advice of a firm thoroughly acquainted with Capitaiists and the Money arket, and who hoped to induce some of his friends 10 take the Loan.I had also received applications for information from wo quarters, one a Country Bank, the other the Trustees for the New Brunswick Bishop's Endowment und, who have now collected neariy £30,000, and who thought were well disposed to invest the amount in the Loan for the Province.On leaving Town I provided for aliendance to be given at my Chambers for certain hours every day, and at all other times notice to that effect was Put up on the door.I am now very sorry to inform you, that no Tenders have been received, nor any further appli.Calions or enquiries made for the Loan.My last Letters from Town received this morning, give me information down to the hour of posting Letters last night, the first Snuary, after which, of course, no Letters could be ex- Pected, meking a Fender.IF however any should have aferwards been received, they will be Forwarded directly to you, without being sent down first to me.I feel however tured, as 1 have for some time anticipated, that no T'en- ee Will have been, nor were ever very likely to be made \u201c The causes of this failure I have already in my former communications alluded to; the Loan was too small to be ever known to be dealt in by the Public Their prejudices 24aInst American securities extend to our own Colonies, on that side of the Atlantic.The Canada Loan, ungua- wanted, has a preference on the Provincial Revenue over and before the guaraniced Loan, and therefore is ina our re, and lo a certsin extent, guaranteed also.The ta, Nance of negociating our Loan was hy private con- wer with some individual Capitalist or Company, but there van, no Powers for doing this, and the mode by Tender or Jiectionable, as the person making it would be bound or ho?ong a time before the Province was bound to accept, ne ore its acceptance or rejection could be known, 1 much ds that had all these objections been obviated, 1 am or afraid that when the party tendering came to be in- \u201cm éd, that not the lowest Tender, but the Tender decen favorable within the terms of the Act,\u201d was to be upon, ed, and that what was ¢ most favorable\u201d depended en any other considerations than the lowness of the oor this loforimation might have had an injurious hound upon the negotiation, As it turns out, however, ng is to be imputed to this circumstance.You will Perceive that 1 have before me your Letter of the 12th ul- to, together wilh its enclosures, v ) Seen of the Province, and his answer, Letter to the Se weil pC eve I may assure you, that'ihis subject has, as full id private means as by public advertisement, been y brought to the notice of Capitalists in this Country.\u2018to the Penitentiary at Kingston, the I have never heard any other objections stsied than those above alluded to.The Revenue pledge for the payment of Interest and Principal Is, I think, considered amply sufficient, and 1 am unable to impute the failure to any other causes than those ] have suggested, I have the pleasure to remain very truly, dear Sirs, and very respectfully yours, H.Buus.To Beverley Robinson, L.Donaldson, John Ward, Jun.Esquires, } Er [To the Editor of the Quebec Gazette.] Srr,\u2014I observed in my previous communication that notwithstanding the reluctance in the Assembly to interfere with the Judges?salaries, ¢ Many\u201d?are of opinion that £750 sterling, a-year, would more that requite the services performed by them, particularly in these ¢ hard times.\u201d If the times, however, are not so, but prosperous and promising, and all classes in the Province, no less than the official class, thriving and contented ; and the merchants, traders, farmers, mechanics, respectable and industrious people of all denominations will say so\u2014 with all my heart.I am but one in a multitude and bear, for my own part, but a very small\u2019'share of the burden.I shall for the sake of the country be even happy to find that in the opinion of all sensible men I am grossly inistaken, and set down for a monomaniac, being nevertheless in the mean time sincerely, however insanely, under the fullest conviction, that there is, and likely yet to be, much depression in business, and no small actual distress on all hands, except with the officials who being well paid are sleek and merry enough, as well they may be.But if the times truly are as I believe them, then I differ with the ¢ many\u2019 aforesaid, and say with the Lawyers, ¢ not enough,\u201d not in the sense in which they use the terms, but the inverse, i.e., that are- duction of £150 on each Judge\u2019s salary is rather too little, in other words, not enough, taking to account the circumstances and situation of the Province loaded already, thanks to my Lord Sydenham, with a public debt of upwards of three millions sterling, and which probably will be more before it is less.Make, therefore, the figures of reduction £260 currency, instead of £150 sterling, reducing also the three Chief Justices?salaries to an equality of £1000 currency, each, and it will suffice,\u201d This will leave the Chiefs £250 more than their brethren the Puisné Judges\u2014quite enough to afford a family banquet after each term, by way of preserving harmony and keeping up the Esprit de Corps of the Bench.By the above arrangement, the figures would stand thus :\u2014There are 11 Puisné Judges in Canada at £1000 currency\u2014-a reduction of £250 on each, would make a saving of £2750.Two Chief Justices at £1500 sterling, each, equal to £1666 currency, which, reduced to £1000, would make a saving on the two, of £1332 currency\u2014and the Chief Justice of Montreal £110) stg., or £1222, cy., total £4304, currency, that may be saved to the public on this head, and still leave the Judges in the enjoyment of better salaries than the Judges in the United Slates, in nothing, save their income, inferior to them, enjoy.That is to say, on the annual amount heretofore pocketed by 14 gentlemen on the Civil List of the Colony, the saving of 17,000 dollars annually, may be made, if only the people\u2019s representatives in Parliament will have the honesty and the courage to do their duty, and tell my Lord, the Colonial Minister, that notwithstanding his solicitude ¢ for those public servants who now hold salaries on the Civil List,\u201d they will no longer put up with the profligate expenditure among them and the abuses, which the public accounts exhibit, of the monies levied upon their constituency, and insist upon a general reduction.But, Sir, as the Judges will, under the new judicature system, have rather a toilsome task, \u20186 in bringing home justice,\u201d to use the elegant phraseology of the day, \u201c\u2018 to every inan\u2019s door,\u201d a compromise with them night be made, to wit; that if they will be quiet and say nothing to the Governor, sub rosa, aboul circuit allowances, you will say nothing in Parliament about their salaries\u2014but heavy salaries, and heavy circuit allowances to the bargain, will not doin these times, The people cannot pay these, and pay their other just debts.To proceed with schedule A: The Court of Vice Admiralty is the next in succession, the expenses of which are but £425 per annum, i.e., to the Judge £200\u2014the Registrar, £150\u2014Marshal, £75, not out of the way, though quite enough, The Sheriffs of Lower Canada come next, with their ¢ public executioners\u201d \u2014(three hangmen,) at £27 sterling, each, a-year, at their heels, who, as noticed on a previous occasion, still figure on the Civil List, with the Governor, Councillors, Judges, and other high functionaries in the Province !\u2014what company! Three hangmen on the Civil List! Is this, Sir, decent?Where is the necessity of having such officials on the Civil List of the Province at all?Only think of £81 sterling a-year being paid towards criminal executioners, being about 400 dol- lus, or a dollar a day in expectation of this kind of wurk.Why have not those disgusting items been made to disappear in the public accounts ?If, unhappily, an occasional necessity occur for such a charge, why not cloak it under the head of contingencies, or in any other shape than a salary on the Civil List ?I will venture to say, the Civil List of Canada is the only one in the world that exhibits any thing of the kind.I wonder, Sir, if the solicitude of my Lord, the Crlonial Minister, extends also to ¢¢ those public servants\u2019 on the Civil List ?If he should sympathise with them you will have some trouble in getting rid of them, and will have perhaps to put them too on the pension list, There are 5 Sheriffs in Lower Canada.Those of Quebec and Montreal have salaries of £100 sterling.He of Three Rivers, £75, and those of St.Francis and Gaspé, £50 each.The salaries are moderate, but they have fees besides,\u2014and perhaps an ocaasional bonus from the Banks by way of interest on large deposits of monies lying over for distribution, by judgment of Court.The Shrievalty at Montreal pays well in this way, it is said.In Upper Canada, the Sheriffs have no salaries\u2014at least none on the Civil List\u2014but in general they make a pretty tolerable thing of their office, by fees, I understand.The contingencies of our Sheriffs make a very round sum on the Civil List.Those at Quebec for 1842, being £2368\u2014at Montreal £3287.Three Rivers, £868, St.Francis, £274, and Gaspé £319.This last is an unusually heavy charge from that quarter, but not, I understand, attributable to the Sheriff\u2019; but rather to the legal and judicial authorities there, who last winter, by way of practising themselves in the criminal laws, capitally tried two individuals of the District\u2014the one an old man of 70 years of age, under ¢ the Black Act\u201d\u2014 (it being at the time formally repealed,) for shooting a vicious old horse, that had broken into his enslo- sure, and devoured his little crop of oats and barley, his family\u2019s subsistence, as the brute had been in the habit of doing the two or three previous years, and sentenced him fo death\u2014the other on a charge of murder, whom they convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to three years in the Penitentiary, The man-slayer was to be more leniently dèalth with than the horse-slayer, according to those learned authorities\u2014who pretended, however, that such was the law.Sir Charles Bagot 1eleased the former; and as to the latter, who, pursuant to his sentence, was sent at the public expense nearly 1,000 miles aw proceed- ings and judgment were so bungled and abominably Le absurd, that the Law Officers of the Crown, at headquarters, ashamed of them, wisely recommended his immediate enlargement, which Sir Charles Metcalfe complied with, and so prevented a public enquir: in Parliament, and the exposure of their valuable locum tenens in Gaspé, So much for this legal experiment there, As for the contingent accounts of the other Sheriffs, they are not monies which those officers pocket like Messieurs ¢ the Queen\u2019s Counsel,\u201d but to cover, I presume, a variety of disbursements incidental to their charge of the gaols.A total of £7603, which these items form, seems high, and ought, if possible, to be moderated, A propos, Mr.Editor, would it not be well to have some Board of Control, besides ¢ the respongibles,\u201d fo look into the requisitions and the purposes thereof, of the Sheriffs and others drawing upon the Treasury, on account of the public service, before submitting such requisitions to the Government, so as to be enabled to vouch for the propriety of the advances, called for?Such a Board ought not to cost the Province more than £500 to £700 a-year, and might save thousands, besides being a good job for those lucky enough to getit, Why not this as well as other jobs we see going on, some of them parliamentary too.Beauharnois, for instance.Pray, who are the responsibles for this job ?\u2014The three or who else ?Then come Messieurs the Coroners\u20146 in all\u2014 sharing among them Æ1122 sterling.They of St.Francis, Bonaventure and Gaspé, make but a pitiful figure in the concern, getting in salaries and fees only £138 among the three\u2014not as yet being up to the business, 1 imagine.But they will learn ; particularly the two last.Able advice to be had there, Sir, in this line, I assure you, if only they will ¢ go halves\u2019 in the booty, Messieurs the Coroners in the other Districts, between sularics and fees, all coming from the Treasury, make a tolerably decent thing of it, He of Quebec has £100 a-year, which that year (1842 always) was increased by fees to £489 sterling.He of Montreal £100 also, increased to £270,\u2014and his, of Three Rivers, £50, was swelled to £223, These are not startling sums in themselves, but they form a large amount, particularly when it is considered that they are paid for mere inquests on deaths by casualty, and this ir Lower Canada only, for we find nothing of the kind in the Civil List, in so far as Upper Canada is concerned.The Clerks of the Crown, East, made but £372 of it that year.Very moderate compared with the product of some previous years, The Clerk of Appeals but £153, but he has also fees from the parties pleading.Interpreters East, i, e., for Quebec, Montreal and Three Rivers, but £105.The High Constables, Criers, and Tipstatis, at the same places, £686.The salaries to these officers are not out of the way, the charges for services of subpænas, in criminal cases, constituting two-thirds of this item ; those of Quebec being £259, and of Montreal, £157.It would be as well, perhaps, to give the High Constables for this service a round allowance, not exceeding £ \u2014\u2014 to cover all, The keepers of the Court Houses at Quebec, Montreal, Three Rivers, St.Francis, New Carlisle, and Gaspé, get in salaries among them all £252, the highest (Montreal,) being £72, and the lowest (Sherbrooke,) £18.The Guolers for those places get in all £584, including salaries and allowances for Turnkeys; the highest salaries, those of Quebec and Mcntreal being £125 each, the former has an allowance for Turnkeys of £110\u2014the latter £72.\u2014 The Gaol Physicians at Quebec and Montreal have £200 each, and he of Three Rivers £50.\u2014Small fry all these, Sir, not to be envied nor worth reducing, getting not much, if any thing more than they really earn, To talk of retrenchment and economy upon their pittance would be pitiful indeed, while others running away with the hundred and thousands are applauded for their dexterity and termed ¢ honorables.\u201d\u201d Bring first ¢ the responsibles\u2019® to a bearing, who are in Parliament, where they can answer for themselves, and leave all under £300 a-year, untouched, at least, for the present, till you see what is to be done, To begin with these, would be a wretched attempt at economy deserving of derision, and which 1 am sure, Sir, you never will countenance.¢ The responsibles,\u201d\u201d 1 have no doubt, would throw several of them, like Jonas, overboard, if it suit their purpose, but I hope you will not permit so unchristian a course, The residue of schedule A in my next.I shall close this already foo long article by a quotation or two from Benjamin Franklin\u2019s diplomatic correspondence, in 1777 and 1778 :\u2014¢¢ A vir- « tuous and laborious people,\u201d (says the Philoso- ¢ pher,) may be cheaply governed.Determining, \u201c\u2018 as we do, to have no offices of profit, nor any ¢¢ sinecures or useless appointments so common in ¢ ancient or corrupted States, we can govern our- < selves a year for the sum you pay in a single de- ¢ partment, or for what one jobbing contractor, by ¢¢ the tavor of a Minister, can cheat you out of in a \u2018single article,\u201d Again, ¢ a British Minister ¢ lately computed that the whole expense of the « Americans in their Civil Government over three ¢ millions of people, amounted to but £'70,000 ster- ¢ ling, and drew from thence a conclusion that they \u2018 ought to be taxed until their expense was equal < in proportion to that which it costs Great Britain ¢ to govern eight millions, He had no idea of a ¢ contrary conclusion, that if three millions may be ¢¢ well governed for £70,000, eight millions may be ¢ as well governed for three times that sum, and < that therefore the expense of his own Government ¢¢ should be diminished.In that corrupted nation, \u201c no man is ashamed of being concerned in lucrative « Government jobs, in which the public money is \u201c\u20ac egregriously misapplied and squandered, the trea- \u201c sury pillaged and more numerous and heavy ¢ taxes accumulated to the great oppression of the ¢ people.\u201d A CITIZEN.COMMERCIAL.New York Markets, Feb.29.Flour steady;
