/ The steamboat Lioness, Wm.L. Cock
erelle, master, on her passage from New
Orleans to Natchitoches, took fire when
about 40 miles above Alexandra, ,on Red

lives of l5 or 16 individuals were lost,
and as many others were more or less
wounded. 1t occurred about 5 O'Clock

IMPORTANT TRrAL.-A gentleman just
arrived from Bangor, Me. has given US
the particulars of case of recent occur
renee there, which is said to have excit-
ed considerable sensation. An unIicens-
ed dealer named Treadwell, keeping a
shop at what is called the point, with the
assistance of an understrapper named
Woodward, undertook, OH Tuesday last,
to furnish an Irishman (whose name we
have not learned, with as much wine as
he could drink for 25 cents. The Irish
man drank a pint Of stuff which was
drawn for him, as port wine, and walked
off, In about hall an hour he returned
and drank two pints more. The result
was death. Woodward was apprehcnded
on complaint Of the Coroner who held an
inquest over the body On Friday last
he was examined before Justices Abbot
and Gilman.-the Hon. j. McGaw, pro-
scouting officer, and Gorham Parks, Esq.
counsel for the defendant-and required
to recognize in the sum Of $3.50, for his
appearance at the next (Junc) term of
the S. J. Court for trial, on the charge
Of man-slaughter.- Boston Mer jour.

afterwards to account for the misfortune
The boat and cargo went down near
the middle ofthe river, and are entirely
lost.
Much credit is due to the inhabitants
near the spot, and at Plaisance, for their
prompt assistance in saving those who
were struggling for life in the current,
for their Kindness and hospitality to the
wounded, and for their liberality and
friendship to all the strangers thrown des-
titute amongst them, and to the crew OF
the lost boat. J. w. TwIcHELL, elk.
New Orleans, on board steamboat Hu-
ron, May 24th.
=. S. The melancholy disaster above,
occurred from gunpowder, which blew
up the boat from the fire in the hold.
The same paper Of the 9th states, that
"the Lioness had not caught fire before
the explosion, and how that occurred is
utterly unknown. The blow was so in
slant and astounding, that few could
have been saved, but for the narrowness
of the river. There were about 60 kegs
of gunpowder on board. An end must
be put to the shipping of gunpowder, but
in such way as shall obviate all danger.
This is not difficult, provided it be not
shipped secretly or under disguise, and
the fact remain thus unknown"
