Id the, hat four Bumbe.-ey the prog-rese of
steamboats, both in thia count, nJ Europe,
hii been reviewed. showing rnnf .'ueive'v tha
advance of mechanical knowledge in both court
true. 1 hia is a subject alwaya iDtereeting? but
there ia ens page in hiatorjr, which, though
tat, ia dark and gloom. To' thia page we
flow turn, in a abort notice, of the accidents
that have occurred to eteamboate, eince their
inn wuuiiun ia nis cuiirury.
' Tha first afeamboat accident in thia country
liappened in 1818 to the Washington, on the
Ohio r:v$r. According to a letter to Congress
by the Secretary of the Treasury, written in
1338, the whole number of ateamenginea of ev
ery kind that were then in ise in the United
States, vji4 3010; of that number 800 were in
eteambufta, 350 in locomotives, nd 1850 in
manufactoriea of different kinds.
The number of accidents to steam enirinea nn
, - s r
to that lime, causing loss of life waa 261, of
which number, 23U were in steamboats.
The greatest loss nf life by steamboat accident
waa by the collision, and ainking of the Mon
mouth in 1837 on the Mississippi ; the number
of lives lost was 300.
The greatest low of life by the explosion of a
steamboat was in 1S39, in the case of the Oro
nok on the same; the number of lives lost was
.139.
The boilers of the steamboat Moselle blew
up at Cincinnati, Ohio, destroying 120.persons.
The greatest loss of life, by snagging, was
in tha case of the steamboat St. Louis on the
Mississippi in 1834, when there were 13 lives
lost.
The greatest lnes of life by shipwreck was
in the case of the Home in 1827, on the coast
of N. Carolina, when 100 persons were lost.
The greatest loss of life, by the burning of a
steamboat up to that time, waa in the case of
the Men Sherhord on the Mississippi, in 1837.
The number of steamboats lost, up to 1823
waa 23 During the year 1S37 no less than 80
steamboats were lost on the Western waters.
During the ten years, from 1830 to 1840, eigh
ty steamboats were lost by explosion, in the
United States, by which means 780 persons
were killed outright, an I 206 wounded badly,
of which number 254 died from the injuries re
ceived.
. On the 11th of June, 1837, the steamboat
Pulaski was destroyed by the explosion of one
of her boilers while on passage from Charleston
to Baltimore, rval 132 persons perished.
About the same time a aimilar accident oc
curred to the steamer Washington on Lake
Erie, by which 40 lives were lost.
One hundred and seventy lives were lost, by
the destruction of the Lexington in 184,0. The
particulars of thia sad disaster are familiar to
every New Yorker, and therefore it would be
worse then useless to repeat them.
The burning of the 'Erie on Lake Erie in
August, 1841, sent to their untimely graves 175
perrons and it is but a short ti.ne since our
sympathies were aroused by the destruction of
the ill-fated Swatlow.
Accidents to steamboats are alarmingly fre
quent, and Bcarce a newspaper reaches us from
the South or West, but chronicles the destruc
tion of one or more. As these accidents in nine
cases out of ten happen through gross careless
ness, the persons responsible should be punished
aa the sacrifice of human life requires. This
method 1 think, would soon put a stop to them.

BaAwnasTa'a Pills cure all affections, simply
beemee they make the blood pure ab.tract out of
it tbosa qualities which produce disease, ind give
to it those qualities which produce health.
Now every solid part of the human frame is
made from the blood, and the food ws ait is con
varied into blood to supply tha waate our bod us
are continually sustaining. 8o in the ordinary
course of nature wa manufacture our entire bodies
in about nine years, from the food taken into oar
stomachs. Suppose the air wa have lived in for
soma time has been loaded with matters detrimen
tal to health, or our food for a long period lias been
of an unwholesome kind, or that the mind has been
much troubled for grief, anxiety, or great atten
tion to any particular point ia sura to occasion bad
effects in the blood. Any of these causes existing
good blood cannot be supplied lo lbs body.
But let Brandreth's Pills be used daily under
these circumstance, in doses of from two to six
pills, or as the case shall determine. Wast is their
effect) It is to-carry off the impure matters from
the blood, leaving only the good to renew every
part of tha body. Wfist waa unaound now be
comes sound, and the stomach sooa gets into so
healthy a condition that even bad air or unwhole
some food for a time are unable to injure the health
materially.'
