SAFETY OF SrEAMDoATs.-Thc alarm

SAFETY OF STEAMDoATs.-The alarm
created in consequence Of the frequc II,
steam boat accidents on the Southern
and Western waters should not diminish
confidence in the welI-managcd boats oil
our own section Of the Union. The ter
rible destruction on board the Pulaski
arose from the position Of the boilers be-
low the deck. The boat was heavily
,imbcrcd and firmly fastened, and had
tho boilers been judiciously placed, the
strong framework would not have been
rent asunder by tho explosion, nnd few
or no lives would have been lost. The
steamers Of the Transportation company
on the Sound, are wisely constructed to
secure passengers from accidents. The
boilers Of each Of the bonts are placed
on the guards, in such manner, that il
from any unforeseen cause an explosion
should occur, the flying fragments would
be thrown into the air or water, and the
passengers in the cabins would be pre-.
served from harm The most iimit
travellers may therefore feel entire con-
fdence in the boats OF this company.
They have expended an immense capita
to secure the largest and most elegan
and commodous steamcrs that sail out o.
New York and at the same timo have
taken every precaution 10 quad agains
the possibility Of casually TO, life ane
