Soon as the family were takeri on - boarck,

volution, her boilers burst with. a most,
Wriii. and astounding noise, equal to the
oat violent clap of thunder.. The expl&

he extreme, as we ate assured by a gen.
lama' who was sitting on his horse oti

Heads, limbs, bodies and blood,' were seen

!sink rapidly, and float, with a strong cur
rent, down the river, at the same time
I getting farther from the shore.
The Captain was thrown by the explo

up, dead and dreadfully mangled. / Another
man was thrown entirely thrbitgh the rent

and fragments of bodies scattered about

... to be rapidly sinking, the passengers wlei
remained unhurt in the gentlemen's arid
ladies' cabins, became panic struck, and
with a fatuity unaccountable= jumped into
the river. Dein. , above the ordinary busi,

We have just retiztnedLfrom the scenes
of hewer occasioned byte explosiori,:and
the account before 'NIA- ed, instelid of
i,
being in the slightest deg Tee exaggerated,
as has been intimated by a few., falls far
:kart of the dreadful realitiy. The frag
menu of human bodies are now 4 - Mgt scat
tered all along the thore,l and we salt] the
corpses of a number so +tug led. antitorn,
that they bear scarcely any resemblance
'to the human .form. W also saw several
•with their heads and ar' entirely blown

off; others with only a rt of the head de.
strayed, and others wit their lower ex
tremitim shivered to a n apparent jelly.—
Fragments of the boilers, and other pnriens
of the boat, were: throw from fifty two

Other parts of the, boat . re di 'twee entire
ly through a large bon on the street, en-
tering through the Wig OWa on isiM side
and passing out at thether. It it posi
tively stated, that one , was picked up

Well. • , ,
, The lower Lek of the boat isyet entire
'lYunder water; cnd when the boat shall be
. reised, a very large numbet of persons, it is
Aspected, will be found.
There are no doubt more persons lost
than we have slated. We conversed, a
while ago, with Mr. Broadwell, the Agent
Of the boat, who rays positively; that there
were ninety-five deck passengers, and
thirty-fite cabin passengers, whose names
were entered on the -boat's "register, at
Oittsburg,' Wheeling, and other towns on
I the river above this place, for Louisville,
Bt. Louis and other places below. Here
then are-one hundred and thirty passen•
gers that must have been on board, exclu-
Ove -of the very large number who took
pavage at this place. The boat was arm-
Wally crowded, and Mr. Bro dwell thinks
the whole number on board, the time of
of the accident, cannot he but li le (deny)
4!.hort of THREE . HUNDRED persons! From the best.information we can getber,
'it does not appear that more than 30 or 40
I:oi this number are known to have been
1 1 rescued. It is therefore probable, that
the whole number drowned or destroyed,
is somewhere in the neighborhood of
TWO HUNDRED OR TWO HUN-. I
DRED AND THIRTY OR FORTY
PERSONS ! It is imposible that any ac
curate detail of the dead and missing can
eve• be made, or the precise number as
certained. A very large portion of them !
were iteckpassengers, w hose liiimble sphere I
in. life will pre clude

The accident has created a great deal o
excitement and distress in the city; and the
Mayor has issued a proclamation, calling a
public meeting of the citizens at the Coun
cil Chamber, this afternoon, at 3 o'clock.
in order to devise the best means of ascer
taining as near as possible, the number of
persons lost, and the extent of injury in
other respects—as well as to adopt some
plan for burying the dead.
VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.
The intelligence, as fa: as received, is
decidedly cheering. Enough, however,
is not yet .known to decide the political
character of the nest Legislature. The
contest in Mr. Patton's district was very
close; but a postcript in the Baltimore
Chronicle , of yesterday announces on the
authority of a gentleman direct from Wash
ington, that dr. Slaughter, the Whig can
didate, had been elected.
In several of the counties, the polls
were not closed until Saturday evening.
We. anntzed such returns as we have re. -
ceived, and may mention in addition to
the subjoined, :that in Hanover, Powhal ;

candidates were ahead on the first day.—

.Pitoonses or W'stro Patzlictrt.cs.—That
the Whig cause within thr+ years has ad
vanced, and is still progreselng throughout
this country in a ratio hitherto unequalled
in the political history of Or nation, is a
truth which cannot be denied. Every
.election which takes , plach, affords new
proof of the above, and adds fresh vigor to
the Whig cause.. The rectal elections in
Connecticut, Rhode lstanctiand New York
have resulted 'in such a manner that every
true Whig throughout the country has
reason to rejoice, and all that is required
to secure a permanent aseendency in the
nation it, that We should keep our armor
buckled on, and fight mardy and in good
earnest against the principles of the loco

Espress Line of Stages to Phikciel.
phia.—A report has been circolatetr in
our borough; that some of the` pritpors
of the old line of stages are inter ,toted in
the new line, leaving the public td draw
the inference that tt collusive andel-stand
in,g exists for purposes'of deception, ; and
that it makes no difference to their neve, c
tive propnetors which . of these linib is
patronised by the community. This re
port, doubtless, took its origin from a de.
sire to injure the' new line. We are an
thonsed by the proprietors of the new
line to say, that there is not a shadow of
truth in Ibis report, and that there is no
connexion whatever stibsieting between
the proprietors of the old and new line.
We hope -that there will be business
enough for both lines. We are -sorry,
however, to see attempts already making
by those interested in the old- line to drive
the new line from the mote. We do not
believe, however, that they will succeed;
we think the public understand their true
interests better than to suffer such plans
to be successful. .

structors of boats, to consult safety before
every thing else, and the public, to show
their approbation of this course, by avoid- '

greater cost than common boilers.

are warranted in saying, Own good sources

vote in Schuyl kill county, at the next elec

polled against him at the last election,
Without being aware that the changes in

in a manner truly unprecedented. • lt is
thought by some,-that there will not be

the best information that we can, at re

number in favor of Ritner. Should : this
prediction be verified, we gip!' bail With
