MOST" AWFUL STEAM BOAT ACCIDENT.
I.OSS OF 125 LIVES'
It becomes again our painful duty to record one
of the most awful and destructive occurrence
known in tliotcrriblo and fatal catalogue of steam
boat accidents.
This afternoon about C o'clock, the new and ele
gant steamboat Moselle, Captain Perin, left tho
wharf of this city (full 'of passengers) for Louis
villeand SU Louis, and, with a view of taking a
family on board at Fulton,. .about a mile and n half
above the quay,, proceeded up the river, and mado
fast to a lufnber raft for that purpose. Hero tho
family wcro taken oh board; and during the whole
time of tho detention tho Captain was holding on
to all the steam ho could create, with an intention
of showing off to the best advantage tho great
specd'of the boat as t.ho passed down tho whole
length of tho city. Tho Moselle was a new brag
boat, and had recently made several exceedingly
quick trips tri and from this place,
Soon as Iho family "were taken on board from tho
v.ift thn Imnt rfirtvpjl nfT ; and at the vcrv moment
her wheel mado.the first evolution her boilers burst
with a most awful and astounding noise, cqual to
tho most violent clap of thunder. The explosion
was destructive and heart-rending in tho oxttcmc,
as we are assured by a gentleman who was eitting
on his horse on tho shore, waiting to sco tho boat
start. Heads lihibs, bbdics and blood, wcro seen
flying through tho air in every direction, attended
by tho most horrible shrieks and groans from iha
wounded and tho dying. Tho lioat, at tho mo
ment of Jho accident was about thirty feet from
shore, and was rendered a perfect wreck. She
seemed to be torn all to flintcrs as far back as the
'trcntlcmen's cabin, and her hurricano deck (tho
whole length) was entirely swept away. Tho boat
immediately began to sink rapidly, and float, with a
strong current, down (ho river, at tho same time
getting farther from the shore.
Tho Captain was thrown by tho explosion en
tirely into the street, and was picked up dead and
dreadfully mangled. Another man was thrown en
tirely through the roof of ono of the neighboring
houses, and limbs and fragments of bodies scatter
ed about tho river and shore in heart-rending profu
sion. Soon as the boat was discovered lo bo rapid
ly sinking, the passengers who remained unhurt in
tho gentlemen's and ladies' cabins, becamo panic
struck, and with a fatuity unaccountable, jumped
into the river. Being above tho ordinary busincsss
parts of the city, there were no boats at hand except
a few large and unmanageable wood flati, which
were carried to tho relief of tho sufferers as soon as
possible, by tho few persona on shore. Many
were drowned, however, before they could bo res
cued from a watery grave, andrhany sunk Who were
not seen afterwards. v
Wo are told that ono little bpy on shorn was seen
"WtfrguigIsffirnasMn .Jenny, itoplurtnij threw pri-.
ent to save his father, mother, and three sisters, all
of wlwm were atruffiling in tho water to gain tho
shore !ut whom tho poor little fellow had the aw
ful mufortune to see perish, one by ono, almost
within his reach. An infant child, belonging to
this family, was picked up alive, fioatihg down the
'river on one of the fragments $1 the hurricane deck.
Doctor Wilson Hughes, of the United States ar
my, (and brother-in-law to our estimablo fellow-citi-.ten,
W. H. Hughes, of tho Pearl street house,) is
doubtless among the slain, as ho wiu known to
hive been onboard, and some pieces of the military
coat he had on were : picked, up among tho frag
ments. Mr. Powell, a highly respectable grocery mer
chant of Lbuisville, and brother-in-law of Mr. VVil
,son McGrew, of this city, is also supposed to be
lost, as ho was on board, anil no tidings have since,
been heard of him, notwithstanding tho active in
quiries of his friends.
We are unabl6,'as yet, to particularize any other
persons lost, as the boat sunk in about 15 minutes
"iaftcr the Occident, I'cavjnjg ftotlung to bo seen but
her chimneys and a small portion of her upper
works, and also a sceno of distress and confusion
immediately ensued which altogether battles descrip'
tion. Most of the sufferers are among the hands of
the boat and the btotrae passeneers.
It is supposed that there wcro about TWO
IIUNDItED PERSONS on board, of which num
ber only from fifty to tttenty-Jive are helicxcd k
about ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NIVE!
Oh ! tain of vn.
The accident unquestionably occurred through
ilietr imorudcnct and earekttnus. The captain
of the boat was desirous of showing off her gret
Kneed as she msscd the city, and to overtake and
ii.im another boat which hud left the wharf for Lou
isville a short time before him. Dearly lias ho paid
'for his sillv ambition. Tho clerk of tho boat, we
understand, escaped unhurt. These- are 11 tho par

in a straight line accross the Atlantic. The
weather lias been good, except that tho
wind has been ahead and the sea rough.
She has had so little motion that it has
not been necessary to put batteons on the

enough to upset cups and saucers. She

perhaps two hundred remain. On hauling

of 5 per cent., or alosser amount, drawing
as much interest, shall be doposiled with

excess or paper, each bank will be compell
ed to keep on hand twelvo and a-half ner
cent, of its issues, in specie. If its notes

THE GOVEIIVOR'S MESSAGE.
The message of the Governor relative to
the improvement bill, partakes strongly of
the character of ajl the state papers which
have emanated from the present Executive
and his advisers. The same disposition to
vade responsibility by endeavoring to,
throw it upon the legislature tho same in
consistency between executive action and
executive opinion the same disposition to
court the popular breeze, by signing a bill
to gain lavor with its friends, and then sta
ting objectious to appcasd the feelings of
its opponents the same desire to appear
to be on both sides of an important ques
tion the same intent to blind and delude
the people by sophystrv and hair-splitting,
which have so peculiarly characterized the
administration of Joseph Kitner, peep forth
in every paragraph'of this message.

with a determination not only to expose the
dictatorial spirit arid its chttinrr inconsisten

supported by facts which dare not bo denied,
as must satisly every honest mind that an
administration which has squandered seven
or eight millions of thu people's money

of internal improvement. Penna. Jlcp.
Last year Ritncr vetoed a bill for tho im

die legislature passed a similar bill, contain

finished will run tho state debt up to more

by the shock. Two of them, by tho im-,

mangled by the fluid, on the head and dif
ferent parts of tho body. The deceased
whoso melancholy late wc arc now called
