 was situated about midships. The whole company at the table were forced, by the con- cussion, against the transOm, with such viO- lence as 10 break their limbs, and otherwise cut and hruise them in shocking manner.
 The magazine was situated in the bows of the vessel This part of the ship, as may well be imagined, is completely demolished. h. deed the ship remains as complete wreck as probably was ever beheld. The timbers throughout appeared to have been perfectly | rotten. Many of the guns were thrown over board, and some of them (of large dimen- | sions) now hang as it were by hair.
 The bodies of the dead and wounded were brought on shore as soon as circumstances would permit. The former, after being rccog- nized, were put into collins. The latter were carried to the Hospital 1.-the Navy Yard, and every attention paid to them. The bodies of the dead were shockingly mangled their fea- lures distorted, and so much blackened that it was difficult to recognize them. All the physicians of Brooklyn, and several from this city, proffered their services, which prov ed very acceptable.
 As soon as the intelligence reached the Ci- ty, thousands of persons visited the wreck of the Fulton. The steamboats on their passage up the river, stopped to learn the particulars and hundreds of small boats proceeded to the spot. The Navy Yard was also filled with persons making inquiries after their relations or friends, and expressing much anxiety to see the bodies, for the purpose of ascertain ing whether they were among the dead or | wounded.
 The interest excited by the news of this e. vent, was last evening intense and universal. Nor has it abated this morning. tCommndOre GhaunceV and the officers of the station were on board the wreck, after the explosion, giving directions to remove the scattered timber, in order that search might take place for such bodies as might be buried | in the ruins.
 The tide being at the cbb, immense quan- titles of the fragments of the ship hoated down in front of the city, and hundreds of small boats were seen busily engaged in se- curing them.
 Since the foregoing was prepared. we have Lad call from an officer who left the hulk since ten o'clock. The tide had come in, so that she was filled with water.
 We are pained to learn, that Mrs. Breck- enridge is not slightly, but very severely wounded; and the injury of Lieut.. Platt, is so serious, that but faint hope is indulged of his recovery.
 What is a very remarkable circumstance, ,al-
 
 ward room, escaped with their lives, and some of them uninjured, not a vestige of the table, chairs, or any of the furniture in the room remain. Every thing was blown to atoms.
 When we left the Navy Yard at Il o'clock only .fUe men were unaccounted for. These f eea 'te5y Aber1tsl crusngu among the timber. I W. F. Spectator.

 Distressing Afair.-On the 16th inst. an occurrence took place in the northern part of the town of Montgomery, Orange CO.,, which has excited in that vicinity the deepest sen satiOns of regret and sorrow. MT. James Mitchell. formerly ofthe the town of Shawan- l gunk, and for more than forty years known as a respectable citizen, and at one time a member of Assembly for Ulster County, has embittered his remaining days, ,and blasted the tair prospects of his, family by yielding to the impulse of passion, and taking the life of a felIoy citizen. The following circumstan nces are derived from gentleman who wen: to Newburg for the coroner, and attended the Inquest
 Charles Crist. one of the witnesses, stated that between and o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, he was with Abraham Moule, the deceased, at MT. Rapelye's tavern, opposite the store of MT. Mitchell, when Mould said. "l will go over to Mitchells and tantalize the old ScOtchman." He went over and Crlst followed him. He soon got in conver- satlon with Mitchell, and began to be abusive and called him liar. Mitchell ordered him out of the store. Moule refused. Mitchell said if he did not go out he would nut him out. Moule replied, if you will come round here from behind the counter) I will put yoa. out" Mitchell then sezed the wooden bar, which secures the window and struck Moue on the side of the head. Moule fell partly, but recovering and turning round, Mitchell repeated the blow MOule fell but recovered again; Mitchell then came round, took hold of Moule, and was pushing him out of the store, when Crist observed, Stop MT. l Mitchell, believe the man is hurt" Mitch ell let go of the man and said, '' God forbid that should injure any man seriously" Crist led MOule home to his own house, which was about half a mile distant; they went up stairs, when Moule undressed himself, went to bed and slept. From thGt sleep he never o. | 'cOke. He died about g o'clock in the eve hing.
