Corh Cotlared Jaekets.-Yhe Florence Gazette thus concludes an article, on the subject of the loss of the Brandy wine. We think the concluding sug- gesfion too important not to be acted on promptly by every Steam Boat Owner.

 We here repeat our admonition of the utility of Cork CoHar Jackets, 10 those who risk the multiplied dangers of Steam Boat navigation. philanthro- plsts have recommended their use to ocean mariners, and even there on the .'r9aou,atdln zeaves," numbers have been saved by them. But when we take in- 10 consideration the comparative ease with which the land could be reached from any part of our rivers, and the total exemption from high and danger ous zrares, it must strike the mind of every one that here this simple appara- Jus would be far more eflieaeious. In- deed it may be said that on occasions similar to the burning of the Brandy wine and the sinking of the Tennes- see, if every individual on board was provided with the simple apparatus Of a Cork Collar Jacket, (which could ca silly be supplied at 50 cents a head, its scarcely within the bounds of possbili- ty that any would be lost. Equipped in this manner, q gentleman could take lady under his protection in the darkest night and in the middle of the Missis- sippi, and conduct her to the shore, However gloomy and appalling the en- teFpfise might appear) with scarcely any other danger tIaathat of being run over by another boat orchiiled 10 death with cold. For 1t has etten been de- monstrated that the person thus walking in the water cannot siq,k himself unless he is an expert diper. We suggest to the proprietors of Steam Boats the util- ity of having them provided with a suitable number of these Jackets--one of which might be attached as an ap. bondage to each birth. A Boat thus furnished, as it would offer gratuitous life insurance against the dangers of the water, would have the strongest claim 10 the preference of passengers.
