JVb Americans With a characteristic feel lug of national pride, especially In Fourtli of July orations, among other things often epoak of the steamboat as one of the great American inventions The steamboat and the iuuic of Robert Fulton will ever hold a prominent place In our category of Ameri¬ can greatness. Tiuc Fulton made the first practical application of steam to tho uses of navigation, and for this desorvesgr'cat praise and America great honor, but history tells us that In the year 1543, 204 yoars beloic the Invention of tho steamboat by Robert 1'uHon, a man by tho namo of Blasco de Qaray, propelled a boat by means of steam. This was In the baibor ofBaicelona, Spain different from those applicable to other branches of. business, This Is owing paitly to the difleront character of the business, the risks necessarily encounteted and the fact that at sea all communication and Intel- course with the world l»to a great extent cut oil, thereby rendering certain rules and regulations necessary which would not bo E'tcd under other circumstances. But \* another reason for this peculiarly i causes trorc of tho differences which we notice and that is in the source tidm which the greater part of the regulations of marine law were derived. It'nmst be borne in mind that there Is no profession or trade which clings so tenacious!} to that which in old and rejects so stubbornly Unit which is new as tho legal profession. Therefore It Is eaBy to trace the gtowth of any particular branch of the law by the constant reference which 1b made to tne origin of each princi¬ ple. A great amount ot learning has been displayed by ninny of our legal writers In seaichlug out the fountain from which each principle or rule sprung. Those who have made no special study of the law will pick up a statute boot; and read the law and when you ask them where strch and such laws oilglnated they will icll von "In the legislature, or in the Congress of the United State'," as they have found It in the Stnto or United States statutes.

Mix, George Judsoti and A. M. Van Dti'on, with K. Phelps and W. Francis keeping the time. Thirteen yachts drew up for the start, two being llrst-chias, but sev¬ eral of them met with accidents which prevented llicm from going. Tho Cygnet, of Toronto, never having been beaten, nnd the Ives, ol Detroit, being very highly thought of, much excitement centered oh thcHo two yachtSc 'jAio Ives was the first to getaway, gaining a staitof nine minutes from the Cjgnet, tho othersbolngstrung out considerably, the Hover going by after tho last gun was filed. The judges weie much excited over the lace between the Cygnet and the Ivegj until just before the third stake was reached when the Cygnet forged ahead ol tho Ives, and came in winner of the legatta in 3:51:34, the Ives sailing the course 4 ;41.3. The prlzeB were awarded nt 8 o'clock, the Cygnet again getting the Gardner cup and $100, and tho Ives the sec¬ ond prize of $50.

Wo have three great sources from which all our laws haw sprung and, Indeed, we have few laws which are not a mixture of elements derived Irom n different fountain. It baa been said that "our laws'aie as mixed as our language." Theso tluee sources of law, previously mertloned, are'ttie Civil Law of Rome, the Common Law of Eneland.nnd the customs of natluiis lulled international law.1 Our state nnd U'ntcd States laws re¬ lating to all allairs excel>t maritime affairs aie derived principally from the common law of England, nnd when we Und a point not touched upon In our statutes, to this we look for help. On the other hand our mari¬ time law is derived nlinool entirely from the civil law, modified and controlled by tbe principles ol International law. The forms of l rial In our admiralty courts are from the civil law and the positive rules Iron) the comity of nations. It would be useless to undeitake to show up the differences in these different branches tn a short newspa¬ per article and we slinll not undertake to do so. We Intended simply lo call attention to tho ennsea of theso differences which all so readily notice. There is no class of iwo- plc who need lo understand the rules of law bearing upon their lino of business more than sailors and those engaged tn marine business, for tho reaBon that so mauy of the rules and regulations of marine Uw are ar¬ bitrary in tltelr character.

A great calamity accompanied the launch¬ ing ot tho Diiphno near Ronfireut on the Clydo July 3- The yard where she was launched Is about five miles, from Glasgow, From dispatches an<l exchanges wo gather the following. Tho Daphne left tho ways at n very fast rate, and w hen silo gained the water she rolled from side to side. Persons on,board, fearing she would capsize, ran to and fro. The vcsbcI finally ncled over ami nearly disappeared beneath tho water, Those'who hud maintained their positions on tbe portion of the steamer not yet submerged, did their utmost to save those « ho were lost overboard. At tho sume time boats pulled to assist In the work pf rescuing the unfortunate people, and succeeded In saving quite a number. It is known, hovvevei, that there were tlfjy persons below In the paphne, when tho ves¬ sel went over, and they miiBt all have been drowned. Crowds of grief-stricken relatives of the victims arc flocking to the scene of the calamity. Another dispatch from Glasgow' says the caose of her capsizing'was she had too much top w eight. 'I ho steamers at e dragging the water foi the bodies of tho victims. Several of the people who were taken from the water alive were bo exhausted that It was necessary ta.iemovo them to ihe lnllrmary.

It would appeal, from News telegiaphed on Saturday nom Milwaukee to the Chicago Tribune Hint the Seamen's Union of the former city has a grudge against a Clovoland association.

They got away from tho vessel and wcro followed some distance, but escaped. One of the men notified tho polloe and a squad was sent to the vessel, but the raiders had left, but not until they had carried of the bags of the two seamen. The men re¬ turned to tho vessel.

Aj„ visitors wero ad¬ mitted to view the launch, It is believed some ot them, names unknown, aro among the missing. Many dead bodies aro visible through the port holes of the ship. It was rapid ebb tide, rfhd It Is feared that many bodlcB were carried tp sen. There was a largo unmbcr of boys on board. Tho fore¬ man joiner, who had charge of twenty work, men, says ho has seen only three of his men Blnce' the accident.

A number of men at the shipyard, on the opposite Bide of the river, who wltnesBod the disaster, but who wero unable to render any aBblftance nt the time, say the whole occunlod about throe minutes. They im¬ mediately set to work to help the poople struggling In the water They sny gproe men on the Daphne jumped overboard, and others were thrown overboard, nnd that a quantity of loose fittings fell from tho dertrr7 and crushed many of ihe unfortunates struggling In the water. A number of swimmers were visible directly nfler the •hip capsized, but many Of them were after¬ ward seen to sink. Six men were seen cling¬ ing together, and lour endeavored to climb upon tho steamer as she was sinking, but were forced to desist by the rush of steam from the porthole. Some climbed upon the keel just before the ship was submerged. Accordingly to the siatemonts of witnesses and survivors the vessel was let slip too rapidly, causing hor stern, whloh entered first to sink deeply In the water. She was then caught by the strong current of the river, by which, as well as by hor top weight . sho was caused to keol over so far that the water entered her ports.
