ACCIDENTS

On Thursday evening last, about 9 o'clock,
as the steamboat Congress, Capt. Lathrop, was
leaving port Kent on Lake Champain, on her
passage 10 White Hall, distant about three
quarters of a mile from the dock, in deep wa
ter, she was run into by the steam boat Phsnix,
Capt. Darlington, on her passage to ST. Johns,
at the moment of entering port Kent. The
Phenix was seen at some distance, and conclud-
ing the Congress was also, the pilot lay too d.
rectly for her, and when too late putting her
helm hard down to avoid the Phenix, he bro't
her broadside directly to the Phenix, who with
all her force ran directly into the Congress, car
rying away the water wheel, breaking the shaft
short off, and splinterihg into thousand pie
ces the guard and housings from one end of it
to the other, sweeping the mail bags and all the
luggage overheard, and crushing female in
standy to death, and bruising another so Sc
verely that her life is despaired Of A third
was wounded, but not dangerously. Had not
the bowsprit of the Phenix struck the strong
galows frame midships, which stopped her
way, both boats to a certainty must instantly
have sunk. The mail was small, but there was
a considerable sum Of money in the passengers
trunks, which were all lost. Scarce single
thing from the luggage room was saved. One
of The proprietors being on board the Congress,
instantly gave directions for every exertion to
be made to recover the baggage, but from the
great depth OF water, considered from so to 40
feet,) there was but little prospect OF success.
Both the captains are very gentemanly and at
tentive men, belonging 10 the same concern.
The directions are for two lights. The Con-
gress had but one up She saw the Phenix at
some distance and no excuse can be offered Tor
pilots daring to run their boats SO near each o.
Their in the night, when the passengers are be-
low. The pilot and passengers on the Phenix
say the Congress was not known until too close
to avoid her, supposiug the single light shehad
hoisted to be on shore, being in range with Port
Kent, the shadow Of the hill increased the de-
ception But it is to be remarked the Con-
gress having grounded at St. Johns, was long
behind her time, and they were, or ought to
have been very vigiant and particularly eau
tious in entering any place that they could not
distinctly see. With all the allowances that
can be made, there certainly has been degree
of carelessness highly censurable, which has re-
suited in the death of two persons. and an IRE
parable loss to many. And ii may not be out
of place here to remark upon the very careless
manner in which the mails are conveyed from
place TO place. There can be no excuse for
putting the mail in the baggage room, under
tie care (if il can be called care) OF waiter on
board these boats, and where passengers who
are utter strangers, pass in and out at their lei
sure.

Boring for Water.--The experiments of Mr..
Disbrow in boring for water, seem to decide
the point that the long endured, and as it has
been thought, incurable evil of bad water need
no longer be suffered by our city. The appa-
ratus of Mr., d. has been successfully employed
within day or two upon the premises OF Mr..
Quick, No. At, Wall-st., where by perforation
OF about so feet, most copious supply of pure
and soft water has been obtained. A large tube
of cast iron is sunk with the progress of the
borer, and all that Is necessary when the water
is obtained, is 10 insert pump into the tube.
In the present instance, alternate layers of clay
and quicksand, about IS feet in Depth were first
struck upon, then stratum Of quicksand a.
bout feet in depth, which was succeeded by
Z feet of coarse sand and clay, between which
and the rock, the supply Of water was found
1t is said to be nearly if not quite impossible,
TO sink aeelS where quicksand is to be encoun-
tered.
The water rises in the present instance to
within z feet of the surface. The same result
has been met at the corner of Riyington and CO.
lumbus-streets, by boring to depth of 60 feet;
at the corner of Avenue D. and 5th street, TO a
depth of 100 feet; Allen-st. to depth of &c feet;
at Haight's factory, Harsimus, New-Jersey, to
depth Of 60 feet; beside several other places
in the city and its vicinity. In making per-
foration at Albany supply Of inAammable gas
has been met with, sufficient, it is said, to light
large number of houses.
We are informed by Mr.. D. that in mo IN
stance has he failed of procuring an abundant sup
ply of pure and soft s0ater. If subsequent expe-
riments render the rule certain, it is not proba-
BILE that we shall long suffer under the present
inconvenience. The expense of boring varies
from 50 to 10 per foot according to the nature
oftbe substance 10. be perforated.

II appears by private advices from Madrid
Of August The 9Th, that great efforts are making
BY the extreme ultra party in that Kingdom to
induce the government TO form what is denomi-
mated a Politico-sanitary Gordon on the from
tiers of Portugal The fifth of the Infantry, which
according to rumour, is three thousand strong,
but which does not in fact muster half tha:
number, two battallions of the garrison of San
tona, three regiments Of provincial militia, and
one regiment of C avalry of the Guard, compose
allthe troops, which after great exertions, and
numerous consultations, it is thought can be put
in motion to form the Gordon along an extent
gilmore than hundred leagues.
Toprovide the necessary funds for this expe-
dtion, tits stated that the Treasury has suspend
ed all payment, and is about to issue Bonds Of
from to 10000 reals, redeemable at short dates,
bu,itis question whether any thing can be re-
allied from this expedient, as the money lenders
generally are supposed to view any interference
with the affairs of Portugal too Quixotic, to
tempt even their cu2idity; and if the expedition
Is ever Started, the means must be raised from
some other source than the credit of the gov
eminent, which for many months past has been
aeld IN the lowest repute, both at home and a.
broad. The eouniervail the projects of the an
u,social sltras, pretty powerful body exists,
Who are neither influenced by them, nor over
awed oy the apostolics, and the leaders OF this
mlddle party have expressed their opinion free
y, that it is necessary for the protection and
integrity of the Kingdom of Spain, that the
Portuguese should be permitted to adopt what
ever form OF government their rulers might
link most congenial to the happiness of the
people In support oftheir arguments respect
ing the impolicy of any interference, they State
mat almost every province oil Spain there are
many Of the best informed and most intelligent
men slill imbued with the revolutionary spirit,
engineered under the auspices of the Constitu-
uonal system, and that the first evidence of
'eaSness in the government, caused by the
ssHodrawal ofthe troops of the line towards the
"Oaters, would be seized upon by the liberals,
% sau Simultaneous rising again involve the
Ai0gdom in all the horrors of civil war.
