should from henceforth be observed by the society

should be allowed to the public.

readily adopt this suggestion, and she desires me,

to bring the subject before them at their peat meet-

of her Majesty the Queen at the improvements now
in progress in the gardens of the Royal Horticul-

holiday in the hope of assisting towards bringing

Frightful Steamboat Accident in France,

A shocking loss of life was caused on Sunday
last by a steamboat accident on the Saone. The
Lyons journals furnish us with the following
de tails :

" The Mouche N 0.4 is one of the fast penny boats
built for the service of the Saone. She is like the
other four, very high out of the water, and so very
narrow that a sudden movement of the rudder, or
having too many passengers on board, causes her to
roll very violently. At about half-past two o'clock
on Sunday afternoon, the Mouche, which had come
from Perrache, and was on her way to Vaise, with
a great number of passengers on board, stopped at
the landing place at the Qaai St. Antoine, where
she embarked so many others that her deck was
completely thronged and her cabins also filled.
The passengers consisted of all classes—ladies,
children, workmen, &c., all in their holiday clothes.
On leaving the landing place the steamer, in order
to avoid the different sandbanks near the Pont de
Nemours, had to steer a serpentine course and take
a number of sharp curves. Daring those move-
ments she rolled violently, but the passengers for
the moment did not pay much attention to the
movement. At length, however, a sudden action
of the rudder caused her to give so heavy a lurch
that the water came in at the scupper-holes. An
indescribable scene of confusion then took place.
The compact mass of passengers on the deck were
pressed with so much force against the hand rail
which ran along the side that it suddenly gave way,
and fifty persons were precipitated into the fiver in
a mass. The captain of the boat went overboard
with the rest, The scene which followed was most
heartrending. The surface of the water was covered
with heads, and arms were seen making desperate
efforts to release themselves. The persons who fell
in were so compactly thronged together that every
one clung to his neighbour in the agony of despair,
so that chose who might otherwise have
escaped by swimming were prevented from using
any exertion in that way. The captain lost his
life in that manner, for he was seized hold of by
two females, one of whom clung round his neckland
the other round his body, and the three sank toge-
ther. What added to the horror of the scene was
that the accident happened at a part of the river
where no small boats were kept, and it being Sun-
day, few of the boatmen in (Aber parts were engaged
in their usual occupations, so that a considerable
time elapsed before any assistance came to the spot,
Only about ten persons were able to save themselves
by swimming; four or five others were restored to
animation after being got on shore ; leaving the
number of drowned to amount to from 36 to 40.
As the bodies were afterwards taken out of the
water they were deposited on deck of the Abeille

steamer lying alongside the quay. At six in the
evening 30 were ranged there. Those
theirwbo wereown
recognised were afterwards removed to

Another account states that the engineman, seeing
the quantity of water the vessel had shipped, and
which had rushed into the boiler, feared an espied
sion, and therefore made all haste to get the other
passengers to land in order to prevent a second
calamity. The owner of the boat ha's been arrested,
