BLOWING UP OF THE STEAMER INKERMAN.

(Prom the Toronto Times.)

About half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
city was alarmed by the loud report of an explosion on the
bay, and the intelligence that the boiler of the steamer
Inkerman had exploded, and that many lives were lost.
Proceeding to the scene of the disaster, we found the ill-
fated craft lying about 100 yards from the end of Upton
and Brown's wharf, sunk to her guards, with the whole
after-part blown away, and the forward portions wrecked
and broken in a most extraordinary manner. The engine
and boiler were gone, the smoke pipe lay among the wreck,
the foremast wheelhouse, and the forward promenade deck
alone remained of all the upper-work, and the planking of the
bows was torn away from the stem. A great iron cable,
which formed a portion of the cargo, had been blown high
into the air, and in falling had caught on the fore-topmast,
and hung there a monument of the force of the explosion.
The Inkerman had been discharging her cargo of oats at
Upton and Brown's wharf during the day, and having
some freight on board for St. Catherine's, steam was got up,
and all was made ready for departure for that place early
in the afternoon. From some cause or other a delay took
place in starting, and it was observed by more than one
byestander on the wharf that she had been " blowing
off" for half-an-hour, and that the steam was par.
ticularly dry, indicating a want of water in the
boiler. On first starting the engine was backed,
a motion which does not work the pumps, but when
it began to go forward it is supposed that the pumps
threw in a quantity of water, weich falling on the over-
heated boiler, caused an i..stantaneous explosion. This is
the general opinion of the cause of the accident among
steam-boat men, but it is only fair to acid, that the engi-
neers who are saved deny that there was any want of water.
It will remain for the coroner's jury to give a decision upon
the point.
The shock was tremendous, having the effect of an earth-
quake on the firmest buildings on the shore. The people on
the wharf saw a column rising from the ill-fated boat,
which broke and fell in scattered fragments over the sur-
round* waters. Many of the crew were thrown into the
air, and yet, wonderful to say, escaped almost uninjured.
The steward of the boat, Bryan O'Donnell, was lying re .d-
-ing in his birth, and knew nothing till he found himself
struggling in the water. The captain (1111 Broom) was
standing on the promenade deck, and was thrown six or
seven feet into the air; in falling his foot struck a projec-
tion, and his leg was broken above the ancie
Boats from various vessels lying near and from Mr.
Cotton's dredge were immediately in motion, and every
exertion was made to rescue the unfortunate crew. Those
who were floating were picked up, and the wreck was
partly cleared, in order to ascertain whether any remained
under the debris. Two dead bodies were picked up and
conveyed to Borst's wharf, and afterwards the remains of
Mr. Charles Honeyman, the purser, a flue young man,
were deposited there, he having died on his his way to the
hospital. Later in the day the miserable mangled remains
of an unfortunate, with his head entirely blown off, were
discovered in the wreck, and conveyed to Upton and
Brown's. The two wheelamen were saved, and all the crew
who were employed on the forward part of the vessel.
There were two women on
board one the took and the
other a passenger, a sister of one of the firemen. They were
picked np from the water and brought on shore by a boat
,
from the ship Citizen, of Erie, Captain Gleason, and it
being considered dangerous to carry them far, they were
accommodated in one of the buil tinge on Borst's wharf,
where Drs. Bovell, Cotter, and Arnoldi immediately at-
tended thorn. Catherine Ann M'Crie, of Beanharnois, the
cook, was found to be scalded over her whole body, and to
have her leg broken, while the other, Elizabeth M'Gill,
had suffered much more from the shock and from the
length of time she remained in the water. Neither is ex-
pected to recover.
The following is a list of the crew as taken from the pay
list of the vessel, with the fate of each, so far as it has been
ascertained :

1. Captain William M`Broom—leg broken, but likely to
do well. At Russell's Hotel. 2. David W. Honeyman,
purser—died opposite the Bank of Upper Canada while
being conveyed to the hospital. His remains are deposited
on Burst's-wharf. 3. Biband—among the dead. 4. W
Doheny, first engineer—in hospital, burnt in face and back
severely, hands slightly, has a severe scalp wound, which
is not considered dangerous, however. 5. Thomas Spence,
second engineer—severely burned in face and hands, and
also in the lungs by inhaling steam. His recovery is consi-
dered unlikely. 6. M. Macmahon, wheelsman—almost un-
hurt. 7. R. Fitzimmous, wheelsman—missing. 8. Julien
Pare, of Lachine, wheelsman—saved with a few slight con-
tusions. 9. J. Doolan, deck hand' a boy—was not on board,
having missed his passage at Kingston. 10. M. Peto, deck
hand—missing. 11. Baptiste Sauvet, of Point Claire,
deck hand—in hospital ; likely to recover. 12. Cyril Gan-
vie, of St. Anne, neck hand—in hospital, in a dangerous
position, having become comatose under the influence of
severe wounds. 13. W. Kelly, deck hand—in hospital,
with lower extremities burned, but not seriously. 14.
Amable Lauzun, of the Coteau, deck hand—in hospital,
likely to recover. 15. J. M`Gill, of Kingston, fireman—
missing. It is supposed that it is his b, dy which is so muti-
lated as to make perfect identification impossible. 16.
Francis Birois, fireman—missing. 17. John O'Meara,
fireman —in hospital ; severely burnt in head and face. He
was in bed when the accident took place, and received his
injuries in trying to escape. 18. John Brennan, fireman—
missing. 19. Bryan O'Donnell, steward—saved, with
slight scratches. 20. Patrick Strahey, cabin boy—missing.
21. Catherine Anne M'Crae, of Beauharnois—lying in a
dying condition on Borst's Wharf, at two o'clock this
morning.
The Mayor was promptly on the spot, and made all the
arrangements for the attendance of the wounded and the
care of the dead. The chief and deputy-chief of the police
were active in their duties ; and Drs. Hallowell, Bovell,
Cotter, Arnoldi, Wright, Richardson, Aikins, Dixie (of
Brampton), and Bethune, were most assiduous in their at-
tendance on the wounded.

KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The committee for the
completion of the buildings essential for carrying out the
purposes of this inst tution have taken measures for
holding a public meeting in the Great Hall of Lincoln's-
inn on Saturday (to-morrow), at 2 o'clock, at which the
Duke of Cambridge is to preside. This hospital, which
was fourded in 1839, has been the means of conferring
innumerable benefits on the vast population which sur-
round it. During last year it received 1,388 in-patients,
and administered medical relief to 25,564 out-patients.
The lArge additions to the building, which commenced
in 1849, have been found insufficient to meet the increas-
ing number and necessities of the poor seeking relief,
and it has been determined to raise a fund for making
various alterations of a comprehensive character. It
appears that a sum of 40,0001. is required for the com-
pletion of the hospital and for the current expenses for
the mxt two years, and of this sum the committee and
their friends have already contributed 10,0001. The choir
of Lincoln's-inn, assisted by some members of the Sacred
Harmonic Society, will take an important part in the
meeting to-morrow, and will perform " The Queen shall
rejoice," by Handel ; " Benedictus qui venit," by
Mezart ; and " La Carita," by Rossini.
