AWFUL ACCIDENT.

The rumor OF the explosion Of the Steam packet

mentioned in another column, is fully confirmed,
with the loss Of about $50 lives-among whom we
observe names connected wtlithe distng uished

Georgia, the Ruiedges. Pringes, Draytons &c. OF
South Carolina, Judge Rochester, presume for

North Carolina, Gen. Heath, DIR. Cumming, &c
&c. &c Many ladies' among the lost. The
name Of the distinguished Gen. James Hamilton,

ii is rumored, we hope correctly, that, although he
took passage in tic Pulaski, something occurred to
prevent his going on board. Farther PARTICULARS will

Great excitement prevailed on Saturday night in

young woman OF sixteen who has been under the
pupildee OF Mr. II. aud lately made her debut the
National Theatre, and the fremont Theatre, Bos-
ton, with great Mr.. Bloodgood, OF this city,
had been appointed her guardian, aud had placed her
in the family OF Mr.. iIamblin. The mother OF VI ISIS
NJ. had with some OF her ifienls cndeavored to get
possession OF her person, and had caused certain
publications to appear in small paper gotten up il
would appear for the special purpose. The pubica-
tons had been for time kept from the perusal
oil the unfortunate elr', but getting nj last into her
hands, II had the effect TO drive her mad in which
melancholy state she died. At the request Of Mr..
llamblin, Coronets Jury went into a thorough IN
yeslgat1on OF all the circumstances oil the casc-the
resu OF which is stated in the following verdict:
That the deceased, MISS Missouri, came 10 her
death by inflammation OF the brain, caused by great
mental excitement indnced joindy by he riotcnt
luci ot her mother and mr. Publication IF an db"ire

We have since seen one of the Jurors, who informs
us that the verdict WAS the unanimous opinion OF the
inquest, aud that the examination elected nothing
m the slightest degree eliminating the conduct Of the
persons who had the poor glr IN charge, but that
ON the contrary, the treatment OF Mr.. and Mis-.
liambn was KIND aud tender towards the victim; that
she died ia The of Mrs llamblln, who h I'd done
every thing III her power to southe aud alleviate the
suituugs oi the young woman, and left her not even

professional man, made posi- moitcm examination OF
the BRAN III the deceased, aud upon their teS
umonN, cniroborated by lie circumstances the case,
