MOBILE, MARCH l4.-Meldncholy Dis.
oster.-The steam boat Ben. Franklin ex.
ploded on yesterday morning, Just as she was
leaving the wharton Montgomery. A con-
siderable number of persons were killed and
wounded, but in the confusion and dismay
produced by spectacle SO horrible, and of
rare occurrence on our waters, no statement
of the particulars can be furnished, which
can be relied on. The whole boiler deck,
pilot house, engine, and chimneys, of the
boat, were blown high in the air, with ma.
ny OF The passengers, some Of whom fell 10
the water not materially injured. One man,
standing by the chlmneys, was hurled into
the atmosphere, and alighted upon his feet
entirely unscathed. Some of the passen.
gers and boat hands, still alive, are horri.
bly, mangled and cannot survive. Capt..
Sade, who had command of the boat, is
badly wounded, but strong hopes are enter.
tanned of his recovery. One of the pilots Of
The boat was blown nearly unto the shore
and literally torn to pieces. The two engi
neers are not dead, but badly wounded. We
understand that the boat was detained fiji
teen minutes after she left the wharf in wait
ing for passenger. To this fact, and the
small quantity of water in her boilers, may
be attributed the sad accident. We have
endeevored TO ascertain the extent of the loss
OF lives, but It is impossible. 1t is supposed
by those who saw the explosion, that forty
or fifty must have persisted. We cannot
yet undertake 10 furnish full list of the Kill.
