DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

On Taesday afternoon, about ive o'clock, as the Duke of
Beaufort steam packet was proceeding doon the Sews, from
&rout fur Chepstow, a small boat was sear cousins up the
river at or wear the Devil's Reach; the boat bad six pas-
wagers ois board (two difossatis, three women, and a boy),
besides the boslinaa sad his buy. The crew of the packet
repeatedly calkd to them to get ant of the way; but, with a
lamentable heedtesiuers, they continued to approach the
packet, instil they became toomeleil with rue of the peddler,
which Maternity crushed She boat to pieces. The buy was
drowsed, god had it out been fur the extrourdisary exertioas
of the people 00 board the .Darks of Beaufort, the other per.
sous is She boat must ireasably have shard the same fate.
No blame whatever eau possibly be attacked to the packet.
We wocterstaud that two of the boat's crew bed toren lately
discharged from the nary, sod were so completely intoxicated
al the time of the occultist, as to excite the fears of the other
passengers. The boat was bound down the river, sod their
object is atteroptiog to meet the packet, was, that they
weight get towed to Pill, emitrary to the whit of the boatman.
Eleven of the passeagam oa hoard the Duke If Beaufort,
sod two of the persona aimed from the boat, have ermined,
that the accident was ocassiimed by the olvatitracy of the mau-
oCwar's mew it the boat. %%'lieu the latter were stripped,
the sum of ea was foetid in the pockets of one, and 501. to
those of the I alter. another authenticated statement says,
that the pilot of the packet, upon drawing near the boat,
starboarded his helm to avoid her, %rhea a tailor io the boat,
who was dreadfully intoxicated, gave her a broad sheer di-
rectly on the how of the packet as she was io the act of pato-
log, by which the aide of the boat was stove in, sad the
people immersed in the water.
