The South America wss nnder full steam when her shaft broke.

The connecting machinery gave way, tbe piston was forced through the cylinder at the top and bottom, scattering the frarmeau of machinery ia every direction. The steam rushing into the cabins, the passen gers jumped out of their berths naeo, sou were horribly scalded. Tbe sbsckleb-r foiling, perhaps filty feet from its place, passed through tbe deck of the staterooms, through the second deck, and striking a colored man belonging on the boat, severely wounded him in the head. The South America is a new and splendid boat, having made but three or foor passages. Her machinery is said to be literally a wreck, and tbe damage from $20,000 to $30,000.

Tbe following are the names of the persens injored: Mr. Conanl, Ballstoo Spa; Mr. Glen, Schenectady; Mr. Jones, Rensselaer Mr. Gar-win add L.

Tbe following are the particulars of the sec ond catastrophe taken from tlie Iew York Herald The Henry Eckford, Captain Tice, was engaged to tow the Oswego canal-boat Henry, Capt. S. Patchim, from the Nerth round to the East River.

The crews of both vessels were engaged in tbe act of fastening them to gether, when the boilers of tbe Henry Eckford blew up with a terrible noie, and scattered iron, lead, planka, benches and human bodies iu every direction, leaving her a perfect wreck. Capt. Tice, standing near the wheel-house at tbe time, waa thrown some distance into tbe water, but waa rescued by of tbe canal boat. When hauled out af tbe water it was discovered that one of his legs was broken and his hsnd horribly msngled. His wife and little son were on board the boat, but the son was only slightly injured in the hand.

Amos Pelsher, of Palermo, Oswego county, N. ono of the crew of the canal-boat, was on board of the steamer at that moment, and thrown to a distance of more than twenty feet from tlie steamer to the canal-boat and instantly killed. His wan the only life lest so far as known. A piece of leadweigbing upwards of one hundred pounde, w4rich waa ripped np from the steamer, was found near him. He has left a family in good circumstances.

John Swort, of Oswego, also of the canal- boat was on the bowa of the Henry Eckford, parsing round a line. He was found by Capt. Patchiu, literally covered with ashes and splinters. He had a leg broken and was otherwise iujured. Captain Patchin fortunately was not injured.

One man, upposed a deck baud on board the steamer, is said to ba missing. Eight or ten others were slightly injured. The engi neer and his son were also bruised somewhat. It is said that tho Henry Eckford and South America were owned by the same company 07 It may be well to remind onr constant readers that all typographical and other errors that, in spite of the nicest precaution, will now and then occur in a daily sheet, are corrected regularly in our weekly journal; and any paragraph thrown into unmeaning shspe by some simple blunder will be found there set right.

Continuation of this important trial Abrupt tctikdrawal of dtfendanCt la icyer Non appearance of the oilier lawyers for the de fence General Gaines atldrettct the Court Novelty of a lady defending her cote in a court of la wJ uslice, la and jurisprudence, When the court opened yesterday morning, this case was proccedod with. The plaintiffs having closed their case tbe previous evening, Dir. Peyton wa addressing the Court, previous to offering his testimony for the defense, when we entered. This done, he was proceeding to read, as evidence in the present case, from a printed pamphlet, testimony taken in another court in a suit to which the present plaintiffs were not parties. The evidence which he was about to adduce would go to show that Daniel Clarice made a subsequent will to the one un der which the present action was instituted, and one which entirely revoked and annulled that instrument.

Mr. Roselius objected to this testimony going to the jury; it formed no part of the pleadings in this case it went to establish the existence of a will, or that a will did exist, made and subscribed to by Daniel Clarke subsequent to that in virtue of whkh the plaintiffs now sue. This was altogether foreign from the question at issue. II eucn a document uo exist or ever did exist, there was no proof before tne Court that it had been probated. It had, therefore, no legal entity, and could not be submitted.

to the con sideration of tbe jpry. That waa the first ob jection to its admissibility Secondly, there was nothing in the pleadings that put tho matter at issue; nothing thst speaks of the existence of a will, subsequent to that by virtue of which the plaintiffs claim to be heirs of the late Daniel Clarke. To make such a defence, the plea of a general denial put in by the defendants, was insufficient it should have been specially pleaded, and as it has not been, there is nothing before tlie Court which calls in question the capacity and legal qualification of the plaintiffs as heirs to tlie estate now in litigation. The learned gentleman further objected to the testimony which Mr. P.

was about to read, on the ground that it was taken in a suit to which the plaintiffs in tbe present case were not antagonist parties and in anotlier court than I .1 uiai ie lore wuicu ioe prcocm tun "4 tried. AU these objections he sustained by reference to several authorities, apt and to tbe point. Mr. Smith, the associate of Mr. Peyton, rave and coatended that the evidence about to be offered from the pamphlet was legal testimony.

It was offered, not to prove the validity of the defendants claim to the property in dispute, but to defeat and destroy the claims of tbe plaintiffs to it. Mr. Peyton was then again proceeding to read from tbe pamphlet, when he waa prevented by the Judge, who requested tbe counsel to State what it was he intended to prove, as otherwise he could not suffer him to go into evidence which was foreign to the question at issue, and irrelevant to the subject matter before the Here an informal discussion was entered into, in consequence of Mr. Peyton pressing his rieht to read the evidence which be held in his band: and when this was denied him, of giving the substance of that evidence orally, instead of as he waa called on to do by tbe Judge stating what it was that evidence would go to establish, if it were ruled by the Court that it should go to the jury. It ended by the Court calling peremptorily on tbe counsel to desist and follow no farther tbe course he had been pursuing, otherwise he would hold him amen able for a contempt of Court and a violation of all tbe rules of practice.

Mr. Peyton said he might have been guilty of an error, but before no other tribunal would that be construed into a contempt of Court. If, however, the right of offering evidence were denied him if a bit-and-bradoon were to be placed on his mouth he would at once withdraw from tbe defence of the case and hereupon the learned gentleman took up his hat, bid good-day to his fair client and the jury, and left the court. Hero General Gaines and Mrs. Gaiues suddenly started from their sests.

Gen. G. Mey it please the Coxrt, the lady will take charge of the case hcrcelf she is prepared to do it." Mrs. G. (taking the book in her hand which Mr.

PevtcTn had been prevented from reading) "Yes, I will proceed with the case." The Judge. "Do you intend to offer the testimony in that book as evidence Mrs. G. Yes part of it." The Judge. Well, then, I cannot permit yon to proceed." Mrs.

G. "Then I thank my God I can go before the judges of the U. S. Supreme Court, where I will be beard, and where justice will be done me; which 1 cannot expect here, where I see such partiality." The Judge. General Gaines, this is lan euage which I shall not suffer.

Decorum must be preserved in this Court; there are no privi Ieed classes here." Gen. G. It is not my intention to be indecorous to the Court. I know my rights and will maintain them in despite of my enemies, and in despite of New Orleans and its sixteen banks." The Judge." Order must be preserved in this Court." Gen. Gaines.

"Has not your honor acted, as counsel for the opposite parties in this care before yau were raised to a sent on that bench Mrs. G. "Yes, be wss; and he is now fitting in judgaient against us." The Judge." Mrs. Gaines, I again repeat that I will not sit here and suffer such language as this to be made use of, even by a woman." During this singular discussion, one of the officers ef the court was sent for Messrs. Grymes or Cbinn, the associates of Mr.

Peyton for the defence, to take charge of the case, but neither of them was forthcoming, and Mr. Smith again addressed the Court, urging the right of the defendants' to a liberal construction of the law of evidence. General Gaines again rose and alluded to the controversy which closed previous to Mr. Smith's addressing the Court. The Judge.

I have said nothing. General Gaines, against the lady. I am sure I acted with great forbearance. I did not prevent the argument or any question ol law. but I inter posed to prevent a scene of wrangling which.

if permitted to go on, waa calculated to bring the Court into contempt, and to weaken that authority which it ia bound to exercise for the preservation of order." Gen. Gaines. I have something to say for which I hold myself responsible to this Court and to the world. The counsel for the plain tiffs (Mr. Rotelius) said yesterday that mr rc marks relative to one of the, parties to this suit were impertinent.

This I never suffered any person to tell me before, but coming from that gentleman, I let the language pass from my ear as the idle wind. Since my wife has been alluded to, I insist upon her right to be heard." The Judge. I do not deny her right to ad dress the Court, but is the evidence closed Mr. Barton, for the plaintiffs, argued that from the nature of the pleadings put in by the defendants the evidence was necessarily closed. The Judge then gate his decision on the points of law at issue between the parties.

He first ruled that the evidence offered was inad missible, except in as far as the representatives of Ellen O'Brien waa concerned, in whose suit it was originally taken that the authority of the plaintiffs to sue as the heirs of Daniel Clarke should have been denied by a special plea, and that a subsequent will to that under which the plaintiffs sue must be specially pleaded and proof of its being probated given before it can be entertained by the Court or offered as evidence. Mr. Barton, for the plaintiffs, addressed some remarks to tlie Court, to show that from tbe position in whkh the case stood the defendants coald offer no evidence, nor had they any which could be received by the Court. General Gaines then said, as the evidence was closed on him, and as he was deserted by his counsel, he would take the case into bis own bands. If he appeared in the uniform of a United states otneer it was mere as a mark of respect to the Court than aa a badge of pri vilege I riere me juoge ezpiaineu wnat lie meant by I .1 "privileged characters." Wi Is bTb1 It ril a rc "1 I Tbe fnct of his wife being in court, he said, was bo subject for a sneer.

She was deeply interested ia the issue of this case, and he thought that she, or any well-educated lady. or indeed any woman of an intelligent mind, was capable of forming a correct opinion of its merits as one of the other sex, and that she could as well understand it as she could tbe proper furbelows and flounces of her gown. it a tne permission of the CourL Mrs. Gaines then rose and read to the Court and jury several pages of man being an ela borate bistery oi.ner own alleged wrongs and of the. artifices and devices of Richard Relf, Ueverly Chew and others, to keep ber from possessing or enjoying the property of lite ate Daniel Clarke, bequeathed to ber by him, whose legitimate daughter she was and not his natural child, as the they have alleged.

The following paragraph from the Bangor Courier is well worthy the attention of editors of country papers Conductors of newspapers, particularly thoe published in small villages and country towns, should know that the true secret or success is in giving their papers a local character making them pictures in business, sentiment and spirit, of the town and region in which they are published.
