TERRIBLE ExPLosIoN.-AR Rio Jan

count of a violent thunderstorm which
descended upon port Alcgre on the lth
of March. The rain fell III torre'. '.ts, and
the lightning struck in several places,
A powdcr-housc about a league from the
city, containing 81 800 pounds of pow
der, was struck and blown to atoms -
The explosion shook the whole city like
an earthquake. The houses on the mar
Gin of the river felt the shock most, and
every building received more or less in
jury. All the materials of the powder
house were thrown to the distance of
more than 200 rods; the foundations
were torn mp, and not a tile or beam was
left. The woods in the immediate Vi
cinity were swept down, and the largest
trees torn up by the roots. AT IA distance
OF 10 or. 30 rods from the magazine, IL
military guard was quartcrcd, although
the building which they were IN was
greatly injured, particularly in the roof,
not single soldier suffered any mater
ial harm Several cattle, which hap
pcncd to be near, were killed.

scd resolutions giving thanks to this great
man. Only three men were found IN
Congress at that day, that voted against
these resolutions. One of these three Is
now dead, aud we do not wish to disturb
his ashes. The grave should cover the
iobles of all men. But there are two
men now alive, whose names are on the
Journals of Congress, denying the poor
pittance of vote of thanks to Gen.
WASHINGTON. We ask The Jachson men
who these hro men are!
We have asked this question, without
expecting an answer from those to whom
it is addressed. But there is no reason
why our readers should not be gratlted
with the fact We answer ourselves,
from the record--they arc ANDREW

and twelve or fifteen others more or less
scalded or bruised. AT the moment of
the accident, the boat was lying at
landing place near Grassy Point dock,
about 80 miles from this city, and letting
off the steam Capt V. and few Of
the passengers were on shore, attending
to the delivery Of freight, &c.-but some
thirty or forty persons were Oh board
among them several females. All the
latter, it is said, escaped injury. The
particulars Of this melancholy catastro-
phe were brought to town last evening
by the Captain and some of the passen-
gers, who arrived in the steam-boat Al
bany, which tarried for them on her pas
sage down, happening to reach the spot
short time after the occurrence. The
explosion Of the boiler, which was of j.
ron, is represented to have been tremcn-
dous, and to have caused so much injury
to the bows and bottom Of the boat, as to
occasion her sinking within ID or 20
minutes. The boiler was torn from its
place, and precipitatcd into the river.
We have thus the pain Of adding IL
mother to the Long catalogue of calam-
ties arising from the explosion Of steam
boilers; but we are gratifcd to learn that
an invention will in "a few days be cxhib-
tied to our citizens, by the use of which,
it Is supposed, u recurrence Of like mis-
fortunes will be prevented.
