DREADFUL DISASTER.

On Saturday afternoon, while the
steam boat Etna was on her passage
from Washington, N. J TO his city, the
boiler gave way, and blew up, and, me-
lanct,oly 10 relate, about twenty passen-
gers were killed and wounded. The ac-
oldeni happened when the boat was near
r Sbn's Reel, about five miles below tbe
cry Inc passengers, at the time OF
nc accldent, were chiefly in the centre
oabins near The boiler, where they had
gone on account OF the cooiness of the
weather. In this CABIN, four ladies' were
killed, members OF the family oil Mr..
Job Furman, ithis city. One lady was
.kllled IN The after cabin, and a gentle
man was killed on deck.
Tie number OF scaided, we learn. is
about ten some OF them very badly.
WE ondrrstand, there were on board at
the ilme, besides fourteen persons be-
lenA,ug 10 The .boat, between twenty aud
fhiriy passengers. -Four persons are
said to have jumped overheard, and il
was supposed we're drowned. The
hands of the boat who were on deck es-
capped, as well as those who were in The
Onward and.after CAIRNS. The steward,
Victor Grass, a Frenc hman, crept on, oil
lie forward cabin window, after the acci-
dent, and WAS drowned.
The &na is a complete wreck. Her
boiler, which is OF ipon, and upon the
principle Of high pressure, is supposed
10 have given way near tue bottom, and
blew up with tremendous explosion,
wholly destroying the centre OF the boat
and centre cabin, ,but doing very trilling
injury to The forward or after cabins.

and therefore open for investigations,
which no doubt it will receive from an
enlightened community. wish to call
your attention TO . single point II is Of
very little importance whether q letter;
which you say cannot bu found, was eves
written or not, which letter can have
very slight bearing ON the charges against
YOU; but it is matter OF the greatest as
constituent That you should discover so
much sensibilMy, and discuss at so much
length, this very i'm material point, which
does not necessarily affect your charac-
Ger or that Of Mr.. Edwards, and pass
