I look a chair aud sat down by Ibe aide of Ihe pilot houae. to rad on the upper deck, but finding that the speed of Ihe bout ere ilea a sirong hreeg which, .in reading, was painful to my eyes, I fortunately relumed again to the cabin ( t bad seated myself by the fire place in the gonllemauV cabin, and ma le a remark lo Captain Richardson, that we were ust about Ihe very spot where ne ana myself had been wrecked by the sinking of the steamboat 0,helia, tome four year ago be repli ed in the affirmative, aud pointed me. to an article be bad been reading on " accident snd me up and duwns of life," and before I had completed the first sentence, Ihi dread explosion, so home in its eoiweq leuces, occurred. We had neither slopped nor attempted lo stop, fi-om Ihe coinmencoment, but were Ir ivelling clieerfully and gaily along at ihe rate of aome ten or twelve miles an uour, when ihe two boilers in rapid, succession xplo ded like Ibe roar of two large piece of artillery, while the vessel quivered to her keel. Crash! crash I went every thing around us j in an instant tw '-thirds of that beautiful boat was thrown into Ibe air to au incredible heiitht, and e ivered into a thousand atoms a stream of noxin gs from the boilers passed with: such lremendMi pressure t w"ards the stern, through the balls of the cabin, lhal our bat wete carried from rsjr beads with ibe eurrttjt; and envelope Tn noke.artd bewildi r ed with theSells and groans of Ihe dying suflwrers, whose bujies Ity lorn, lo peicea, mingled witb ihe. shapeless wreck-Ihe shattered mass arourni ua WBbutdiudy,understood. , - 1 looked out from Ihe stern, a;id the whole at moaulipre' above us wss filled wiHi these fisginent lo nn-incredible height, hnd they fell ib. horrid showers aroupd us mixed with the dying and the dead. So powerlul wee the explosion, I bat one of the boilers, with it immense wviehtwat blown, at least one hundred suit ifty yards over the lop of Ihe highest trees, mte an open Held, and rot tar from it lies Ihe plate ef th) safety valve, sunk four or rive feet into the earth, like the ball of a cannon. I left to discover (a the smoke cleared off.) the , ekleei of damage done, and the dangey sftll It lie rj apprehended. Not a single O licer was io bo sae.i, 1 ami the places of their reapeciive sta!isis was that tered iirtrr atoms, and fl ksluig ou the surface of the river, or suspended amoiitf the branches of the trews. 1 saw the heads of three or Ciur lhal had beeo blown into the sir, and bsd falbjsj into the ri er, struggling feebly with llie waves, to keep them selve on the surface, and the, only sound portion of the Crew were pursuing their bodies with the yawl. .

The steamer finally struck a bank at a bcud of the river; the narrator with much difficulty got . ashore with a rope, which he made fat 'to a tree, -end fi-nrltyfeoctwled tn tetttrtgrfe-ashnre all-w ho wen), pot burt.. b se who were dissbled, ere ennaumed in the rorHt dreadful manner in the burn nig boat. Of those who were thrown into the river, sun . escaped unhurt, aome fesnuily uijured. About MXtcen were killed, principally belonging to the butt, aud eight were bsd'y burl. ,Ol' Ibe cause' if ibe explosion, Ih writer thus speaks; There will be msny Speeulatinns concerning the state of the boilers. I will give it a my opinion that Ihe boilers were not such as the Uw required; and my res si far thinking so is, thai I hate seen, them ; and the boiler that may be Mud in a field e.ioae by the scene of tins dreadful catastrophe, is not th-cker in its sheets than an ordinary copper cent. I also believe Ibat there wis tittle or no water in them, for this reas m : at Ine moment ol the explosion nothing appeared lo come from her either in the shape of steam or water, but-a noxious gas paused through (he cabin from the boilers ex iremelr disagreeable ; but the most convincing proof that there was no water in her boiler is found iu the fact, thai a piece of t ie baler at Ihe moment of xplnsimi, abiut 101) pounds in weight, came like a shell Iroin a cannon, carrying state rooms, roof, and every other obt ruction like clmfl befire il, and feel on ihe cabin f) tor, within a few feet from where I was sitting, which burnt through the woollen carpel and eel the c ibuj ti mr in a blaz. Ii'iheiw had been water in the boiler, this could not have taken place, especially whi e she was neither stopping: nor starting, but in regular -motion.
