New YoRK, july 13-Another
steam boat Accident - Yesterday, a.
bout one O'Clock, the boiler OF The steam
ferry boat Jersey, burst at the wharf

of age, ali adopted daughter of Mr..
Peter v. Ledyard, of this City. The
master of the boat, was severely scald-
ed, and it was feared yesterday would
not survive. A coloured man was al

these were the only persons within
reach of the explosion. The forward
cabin was not injured, and q passenger

contrary position to that in which it
was originally placed
