DREADFUL STEAMBOAT DISASTER.—The Alabama,
Montgomery journal, has a full account of the dreadful acci-
dent to the steamer Orville St. John. She was burnt about
four miles below Montgomery. It is supposed that there were
120 persons on board, many of whom leaped into the river
and were drowned, others perished in the flames, and others

oTohne ladies
were burnt. Mrs. Hall, with her daughter in her arms, was
drowned. The clerk of the boat (Mr. Mear), in attempting
to save her was nearly drowned. The only article on board
that was saved was the trunk of ColonerPreston. '!'here
were a number of returned Californians on board, who lost
their all. Colonel Rodman Price, of the United States navy,
agent from California, lost his baggage, with which were
250,000 dollars belonging to the Government. Mr. Maul, a
returned Californian, was very severely injured. F.
Brooks, of Mobile, rumoured to have been lost, was saved.
In addition to the money lost by Mr. Price, there were 10,000
dollars belonging to Mr. Knowland, and a large sum by Mr.
Schmidt. A considerable portion of the sum in charge of
Mr. Price was gold dust in the safe, and may be recovered.
The register of passengers was lost. The clerk of the boat
has furnished a list of the names as far as ascertained. Hugh
Hughes, mate; Peter, steward; Esther, the chambermaid.
The second cook and eight negroes ware saved, also all the
crew, with the exception of the second mate. Another ac-
count supposes there were fifty lives lost and 60,000 dollars.
Many persons are still missing.—New York Courier.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, APRIL 3.
From a return made by order of the House of Commons of
the number of acres of hop ground in cultivation last year
in Great Britain, we find there has been a considerable re-
duction, the quantity of land now in plant being 42,791
acres, or about 6,600 less than the return of the previous
year. This is an important fact for the trade, and will pro-
bably have an immediate effect on the market. Several
sales were untie on Saturday at improved rates. -- Worcester
Journal,
