DREADFUL STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION IN BELGIUM.
—A deplorable and fatal accident took place last week,
at Bois-le-Duc' in Belgium, by which many lives were
sacrificed. The boiler of the steam-boat Jan Van Arkel,
blew up just as it was leaving the pier; the shock was so
great that it was felt all over the town, and the inha-
bitants rushed from their houses, fearing that an earth-
quake had taken place. The steamer was literally de-
molished. Eight corpses have been found, and nine
persons have been mortally wounded; it is feared more
lives are lost, as several persons are still missing. The
boiler blew up with such force, that a portion of it,
weighing upwards of a ton, was thrown over the houses
on the quay; another portion was thrown to a distance
of 200 paces. Three persons were blown into the air,
and fdl in different directions, horribly mutilated. It is
not known how the accident originated.
lA' POST URE. —A most glaring and heartless fraud,
of which a newsvender, residing at 17, New-street-
square, Fetter-lane, is the victim, was committed a few
days since, although the imposture was not discovered
until yesterday. It appears that the abave-mentioned
person has an only son in the 10th Hussars, serving in
India, from whom he has not heard by the last three
mails, and feeling great anxiety made inquiries at some
of the houses in Westminster, where he now supposes he
must have inadvertently mentioned his name and resi-
dence. Some few days after a tall, respectably dressed
young man, of military appearance, called and repre-
sented himself as having been recently discharged,
and as having been a comrade of the newseender's
son. Many inquiries were made, which baying been
answered with much apparent truthfulness, the father
was induced to give him not only a hearty welcome,
but likewise present him with half-a-crown on his
departure. Two days subsequent to this affair he met
the supposed soldier, who told a plausible tale of his
having lost, or been robbed of his money-bag and its
contents, the only means he had of proceeding to his
relatives at Sheffield, and being unknown to any person
in London he was unable to go, upon which his too con-
fiding victim lent him sufficient to defray the expenses of
his journey, on his promising that on his arrival the
money should be forwarded by post-office order. No
letter having been received after several days of sus'
pense, he yesterday ascertained that a sergeant of the
regiment was in London recruiting, of whom inquiries
were made, and he at once pronounced the party an im-
postor, no person having been discharged lately, neither
could he recognise the handwriting nor the name of the
systematic plunderer.
FORGEBT.—At the county magistrates' office at
Rochester, on Monday, the sth instant, before a ful
bench of magistrates, William Williams, alias Ammonia,
a man about fifty years of age, and having the appear-
ance of a warrant officer of the Royal Navy, was com-
mitted to take his trial at the ensuing Maidstone Assizes,
upon three separate charges of forgery. The first was
for personating one John Oliver, a gunner on board her
Majesty's ship Dolphie, on the coast of Africa, and
representing to Mr. Solomon, a navy agent at Chatham,
that he had been discharged from the Dolphin on the 2d
of May, 1849, and was entitled to prize money to the
amount of 3001. The prisoner produced what purported
to be a certificate, signed by the commander of the ship,
and executed a letter of attorney to Mr. Solomon to re-
ceive his prize money, on which Mr. Solomon advanced
him the sum of 501., and 351. in goods, with a gold
watch, &c. The _signature to the power of attorney
given by the prisoner to Mr. Solomon was proved by
John Oliver, third-class gunner, recently paid off from
the Dolphin, to be a forgery; and the Hon. R. F. Boyle,
also from the Dolphin, proved that the signature at-
tached to the certificate produced was not his handwritivik
The prisoner declined saying anything on being asked
by the bench.
NOVEL SHIPMENT TO AMERICA.—A correspondent
of the Liverpool Mercury says--`. As a sign of the ire'
proving taste of our Transatlantic brethren, we are glad
to have to chronicle a rather curious shipment, made e
few days ago to America, in the shape of 500 casts of the,
bead of Shakapere, taken from the monumental bust of
the poet in the Church of Stratford-upon-Avon, by Wilt
Warner, the artist, of that town. They are consignee
to an eminent firm in New York, and, being designed
and got up in a very artistic manner, they will, we bele,.
nu doubt, meet with great demand on the other side 0'
the water."
