"I hope:not. here are about two hun

Mr. Lane was, as a matter of course,
unhappy from that moment. Ilad tins('

year shott'h the pleasant aggregate of four
hundred dollars, he would' have been quite
as happy as wheh liq fifitired it up at six
hundred. But, in imagination, he' bud
been better off by two hundred dollars than
the truth now discovered him to be, and
the loss was felt as real. The remainder
of the evening passed gloomily enough.- - -
When Mr. Lane retired to bed, he Could
nut sleep for 'thinking of the 'dry 'goods,
grOeery, add* bread bills. While he thus
lay ''awake, memory assisted him to the
knowledge of two or three other little mat
ters of the same kind. There was an .un
settled tailor's bill that Might take tWenly
five or thirty dollars to. balance ; and the
boot-maker had something against

'Tie mornin g paper was yet unread. It
lay on the desk beside Mr. Lane; and from
habit mpfe:,than • from any desire to know
its contents, lie opened it and commenced
reading. Au eccuTrence of some interest
had taken place in a neighboring city;
and he was in the.widst of a narrative of
the event, and much interested in it, When
he started and tbrited quickl•at the sound
ofti'voiee•nt , ar him. A man had'entered,
and was standing at his elbow.
" Good morning, Mr. Lane," said the
man.
" Good morning, - Williams," returned
Air. Lam:, "Can I do anything for you
to-dnyl" lie added, In a tone of atketed
elreerCnlness. '
"Not Much," said the visitor, 11110V

from a small paFkuge of papeo, which he
commenced turninff p over.
" You hau'n't uhill. against 'Me?" Mr.
Lane spoke confidently.
. .
" What du you call that !•' replied the
man, as he drew it slip- of paper from the
package ill his hand, find presented it.
"One barrel of flour ; five hams; a bush

me! Didn't I pay fOr these at the tine.;?"
The man smiled and shobk his head.
Ai Whtr, it's nine months since I made
the purchase! f And I'm certain 1 told you
to send in the bill. 1 never like small
matters of this kind to stand."
" It's been overlooked. But the money
will be just us good now," was the pleas
ant answer.
With as good a- grace as it was possi
ble for him to assume, Mr. Lane turned
to his desk, and drawing forth his pocltet
book, counted out thirteen dollars; saying,
its he did so,. - 1 /

The Yew Orleans papers of the 16th

awful iixplusion at that city. We give be
low •tli2 copious and clear description of
the disaster gii-en in the _Picayune :
Ow of the most (1(1)10r:ile catastrophes'
that over occurred in the history of steam
boat c.riplus,ions took place at our levee'
yeiterday evening a few minute§ atier tire
o',elocir..., .The steamboat Louisiana, CpPt.
(,noon, ,bot.m4 for St. Louis, loaded With
t valuable Cargo, and having on board' a
large number .or passengers, had rung her
last bell, and was just .backing out li'om
: the Wharf 4t the feet of Gravier street,
when the , yliple of her„boilers burst \vitli a
treine,ndous 9.plOsibii; ' Which resounded
tlirotighoi i i,t.the city, The concussion Was
so griiiit that it shook the houses to their
faundailoafor . niany squares distant. The
Louisiana was , lying alongside the steam
er . o.stona, Capt. Dustin, at the time of the
distister,,and: the steamer Storm, Captain
Iloptiiii? i lind, just arrived from Louisville,
coining niodlier starboard side. The up
per works of these two boats - are a com
plete wreck—their chimneys having been
carried away, and their cabins stovertri anti
Shattered in Some places to pieces. The
riolened of the shock operating on the
boilers, was tremendous. . A. Bart of one of

and driver of a dray, to Ns li ie 11 theylvere

sive portion of same, twelve feet long,
and of immense weight, was blown to . tho
cornet of Canal and Front streets, a dis
tance of two
,hundred yards at least, prbs
trating three large iron pillars, which sup
ported a wooden shed or . awning which
stood before the coffee-house there. 13e
fore coining in contact with tho irOn pillars
the fragment of the boiler cut through sev

bales' of cotton, which lay in its pas

planks and timbers. They were carried
down with the boat when!sho sank. He
succeeded in saving a little. negro boy,
—About 20 persons were standing on
the bow of the boat when she wt nn down,
most of whom-were saved. The river was
covered immediately after the , accident .
I with fragments of the' wreck. A portion
of the stern of the ladies' cabin of the stett
mer is still out of 'the water, Numerous
small boats• were employed picking up the
wounded. At half-past 5 o'clock, p,
an alarm of, fire was given from the Flos ,
tona,.which called ~our fireinen promptly
to the spot, but it happily was unfounded.
,On board the. Storm the destruction of
life was also teqible. Mrs. Moody, ithe
wire of the,first clerk, was standing on the
guard opposite the ladies' cabin, and Was
instantly, killed. The captain received a
severe contusion in the head, but was not
dangerously wounded, ,About 12 or 16
persons were killed, and a. large number
wounded, some 'of whom will probably not
recover.
The confusion was so great , that it was
utterly impossible to. ascertain the names.
of one-quarter of those killed and wound
ed.; and most probably, from the promis
cuous cirowd of strangers, emigrants, &C:,
a large., portion! of thew will never be
known.
• The fragmentq • yf iron, and blocks of
wood, which were sent with the rapidity
of lightning from the ill-fitted Louisiana,
carried death and detruction in all direc
tions. Men were killed at the distance of,
two hundred yards. Legs, arms, and
trunks, were scattered over, the levee. A
mong those injured on the levee was Mr.
Wra y - Clerk in the house'of Moses

ferry landing, and: was paSSirt,, , up at the

all the assistance in his powet+ as long as
it as needed. We noticed that one oldie
ferry boats from the First Municipality
came up, but she was unable to render
much aid, as the Louisiana had already
gone down. •
There were, many miraculous escapes
at the time of the explosion. Pr. Testut,
of this city, was standing on the wharf,
just after, baying :parted - with his friend,l
Jr. Mondale, of Point Coupee, who is lost,
when a fragment of iron struck, a : mart

sively, grasped the doctor's palt.ol„ tearjng
,his pocket nearly out. Death suon relax

the concussion 'rand enveloped
in smoke,
but reappeared to the eyes Of; their aston.
