FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT•

at'
We regret to be compelled to record an aeeluent big
tended with fatal consequences, whick took place tr
morning. About half-past five o'clock, as the ferit;,,
boat which plies between Walnut-street in this en
and Jackson-street, in Brooklyn, on what is comilripv
called the Navy Yard Ferry, was making her first,
from Long Island, the steam-boats, the Norwich'''.
ere
New London, and the Boston, from Providence, wsi,
perceived coming down the river, the Norwich c°llbe
derably ahead. In endeavouring to keep clear of t
Norwich, the attention of the commander of the ferret
boat was dircrted from the Boston, and the latter"ed,
was nearly upon him before the danger was pereelon,
The command to back was given on board theß°,srry,
but too late; the bow of the Boston struck the ie. ej
boat about eight feet from one of her ends, and ent,e;trip
her side, killing a horse standing close to the rPos•
-
The ferry-boat was full of milk-waggons and °I. Poor
sengers, among whom the utmost confusion and woo
prevailed. As the Boston in backing withdrewat
the ferry-boat, which was composed of two boats ref/
together, the water was heard rushing into the I,Peeo
ture that had been made, and the side which bad."th
broken settled in the water and carried down,vll,o'
the waggons and horses on deck. Many of wet,„'ion
sengers, about fifteen it is said, escaped by lea.Pithe
board the Boston, others threw themselves intoe
water in hopes to sustain themselves till they c°,lu•steli
taken up. The boats of the Boston were indle'lhort
lowered, and eight or ten were rescued. In a.here
time the ferry boat was submerged altogether. dof
were from thirty to forty passengers on board, °nod
these six are missing. Among those who were drenjet,
are the following :—Silas Wright, Caleb Alelakodt
James Connolly, and Cornelius Alexander, 0,1,4 00
and two boys, chimney-sweepers. There was:;ight,
female on board, Mrs. Wright, wife of Silas " was
who, with her son, about fifteen years of age'oa is
saved. The ferry-boat is said to be very old, at ig
such a state as to be easily damaged. The -13°.9 00er.
said not to have been injured in the slightest via
