ANOTHER STEAM BOAT ACCIDENT.

hANO L u EN- . EaM DOAI AOClDENT.
New YoRk, July 1S.-Yesterday, ahuu,
one O'Clock, the boiler of the steam ferry boat
Jersey, burst at the wharf at the Jersey side,
and we regret tO have 10 state, killed Miss
Charlotte Nslson,a yoxng lady about years
OF age, an adopted daughter of Mr.. Peter v.
Ledyard ofthis city. The,master Of the boat,
Captain West, WAS standing on the wharf
within few feet Of the boat, was severely
scalded, and il was Feared yesterday would
not survive. A colured man was also badly
scalded. Providentially these were the only
persons within reach OF the explosion. The
forward cabin was not injured, and a pas
| senser who was in il escaped unhurt. This
accident appears to be unacc0untabie-the
hoiler was of copper, just finished, ON the low
pressure principle, the furnance of 8ths
inch copper. We were told that the safety
valye was open at the time the explosion tool
place. Ii so, the only conjecture that can arise,
rs That some substance was drawn to il from
within, and INSTRUCTED the passage. The ex-
ploSon was powerful; the boiler being twisted
and torn to pieces-It was thrown considera-
Bile Height in the air, and fell in directly con
trary position TO that in which it originally was
placed Her. yddr
This boat was driven by low pressure
Engine, and on Fulton's plan. When we think
how frequent this boat has passed the river, full
OF passengers, and what awful destruction and
loss Of lives there would have been had sb.
0i0wq up CRUISING the river, we cannot be suf-
aciently thankful that the explosion took place
al tune. and in a place, when, and where. II
was least capable of doing injury. Phi. Press.
