Steamboat Ohio.-We regret to learn that
an accident happened to this elegant boat last
evening, which will throw her out of employ
ment for some time. While on her way to Alba
ny, on Monday, triflins injury occurred to her
machinery, which was soon repaired. On her
return Yesterday, when nearly opposite larry
town, one of the shackle bars broke, and the de-
rangement of the engine was instantaneous. The
Engineer attempted 10 run into the engine room,
to stop the machinery, but as it was considered

boat in company, there can be no suspicion OF
racing. The Ohio was lowed down by the Con-
stellation this morning. \. Commercial.

Wright. The greater portion of the audience
consisted of females-respectable females, who

those sentiments would be received with more
tolerant spirit now,- than if she had expressed
them at her first public lectures in this city.
