DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

(From a New York-Paper of April 26.)

EXPLOSION OF THE STEAM-BOAT CHIEF JUS-

TICE MARSHALL.

OPTICE or THE ORANGE TELEGRAPH, NEWBURGH,

THURSDAY, TEN at NIGHT.

" TO TUE EDITOR. OF THE EVENING POST.

" I hasten to inform you of a dreadful disaster on board
the steam-boat Chief Justice Marshall, which occurred
this evening about half-past seven o'clock. Just after she
hid received on hoard her passengers from this place, and
left the wharf, while about ten yards off, going down, her
boil: r exploded with a loud noise, immediately followed
by the cries of the wounded and dying. Numerous boots
put off directly from our docks, the steam-boat was brought
to the wharf, and every attention administered to the suf-
ferers. Twelve ere seriously scalded, and few of those
can survive. About thirty in all were snore or less vic-
tims of the accident. The engineer cannot recover.
Names and particulars further I cannot give during the
present confusion, except to say that the persons most
seriously hurt are chiefly those belonging to the steam-
boat. No carelessness is imputed to any person. In
butte, yours, &e. " C. U. CUSHMAN."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER. FROM lIER CAPTAIN, DATED

LAST EVENING AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.

" I have the unpleasant ditty to perform to say that
shortly after leaving the dock for New York, at thii
place, about Seven o'clock, the whole front of our boiler
blew out with a most tremendous explosion. Ten persons
are badly scalded, three or four so much so that their lives
are despaired of. The cause at present we know not, but
can say the steam was very low, and the boiler well sup-
plied with water at the time; the gauge cocks were tried
while landing and the steam blowing off. All is confusion."

Among the recent valuable additions to the
Bristol Institution, are the manuscript of CHATTERTON'S
Will in verse, and his Deed of Apprenticeship, presented
by J. M. PAGET, Esq., of Newberry-house, near Frome;
also new specimens of cotton from Demerara, presented by
Was. HILHOUSE, Esq., an,d a Welsh and Latin Grammar,
printed in 1593, presented by Dr. liowELL.—BathChron.

Three husbands have been murdered in Kerry
during the list three years at the instance of their wives,
whose conjugal infidelity led to the atrocious crime. On
Thursday last two men named SHEA, JAMES SuLtivniq,
and BRIDGET BRENNAN, were committed to Tralee gaol
for the murder of the latter's husband.—Limerick Chron.

A fellow, who must have had teeth as strong
as a sledge hammer, actually eat the greater part of an
earthenware quart, in tke presence of several respectable
farmers at the Lamb Inn, at Warminster, a few days since.
The farmers, fearing that be might sustain some injury,
enticed him out of the house, when he had about two. thirds
performed his task. —Bath Chronicle.

PEACE-MAKING GANDER.--A professional
gentleman of this town stated in our hearing, the other
day, the followin4 rather remarkable fact. Some years
ago, while riding past Clarencefield, on a clear moonlight
night, his attention was directed to Mr. BunNlE's straw-
yard, in which two bullocks (not of the peaceful Gallo-
way breed, but pugnacious natives of the western High-
lands) were engaged in settlinz some deadly feud. Such
was the ire and prowess of the brutes, that their foreheads
were convert,d into a sort of battering-rams ; and every
time they receded a little way, and again met, the crash
was nearly as loud as the report. of Mr. RANKINE'S great
guns, when tt.ey open their brazen throats on the Cor-
belly Hill. The fierceness of the combat induced the
traveller to pull up his steed ; and his surprise was changed
to absolute wonderment, when he observed a gander leave
his roost, wave his heavy pinions in the air, and they.
dash right between the horns of the belligerents, which
he succeeded in separating in the twinkling of an eye. A
movement so singular and unexpect,ed, cowed the comba-
tants most effectually; in an instant they retreated in
different directions, and so long as our informant remained
on the spot, evinced sin disposition to renew hostilities.
The gander, on the other hand, seemed quite proud of
the exploit he had performed ; and resumed " with stately
steps and slow" his place among the bonny lady geese,
who one and all proved by their kindly cackling, how
much they admired his dexterity as a titter in an arena
which, in their innocent eyes, had all the attractions of a
second " Ashby de la Zeuche."--Dumfries Courier.
