DISCOVERY OF A NEW HARBOUR ON THE NORTH-
EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA.—CapiaiII Sinclair and his
party, anticipating a handsome reward for the discovery
of a good and secure harbour, sailed from Rockhanapton
(Port Curtis) in search of one. After' visiting various
points and islands to the north (some of which contained
good harbours, and were very fertile), they proceeded
up Edgecumbe Bay, and at the bottom of it discovered
a fine capacious harbour, which has been named Port
Denison, and which would contain nearly all the ships
in the world, sheltered from all winds, with a depth of
from two to three fathoms of water within a cable's
length of the shore, and about seven to ten in the
middle. The mountains are about thirty miles distant;
and the intervening Seabord is capable of producing
cotton, sugar, or any other produce of tropical climates.
Here, therefore, is a tract of land in British possessions,
within the tropics, where cotton 'flight be produced in
abundance, with the assistance of Chinese labour.
FEARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION IN AMERICA.---On. the
morning of the 6th inst. (says the Yew York Herald)
the shores of the Delaware River, below the bridge, at
Easton, were crowded with persons to witness the Alfred
Thomas, a little steamer, with about forty persons on
board. The steamer, on arriving at the falls, a short
distance above the bridge, was moored for a short time.
When all was ready to start again, the boiler exploded
with a terrible crash, pieces flying in every direction, and
the ,bunt ttecoming Wan instant a complete wreck, Some
of the passengers were thrown fifty feet, into thg .air,
others were blown off into the water and slightly injured,
and others were dreadfully mangled. The sight upon
the land wi4 truly heart-rending. • The torn limbs of
the poor sufferers, and the pre§euce.of those who were
-ia search-oLfriends. supposed to, be among
.the deatl,
formed a sight to make the stoutest heart feel sad. The
physicianS• of the borough hastened .to the assistance of
the sufferers, and did all in their power
.to alleviate their
tatiffeiings.
