Steamboat Accident.

The steamboat Swiftsure burst one of hen
boilers yesterday about 8 miles below Al
bany, and scaded five persons belonging
10 the boat. The only particulars yet re-
ceived are contained in letter from the
Captain which says:
"The Swiftsure burst her boiler at
o'cock, and scalded Mr. Ravens (engineer)
Robert Graves, George White, Daniel
Hagaman and new fireman name not
known, badly.
The cause of this accident is as yet en-
tirely unknown. The Swifisure has re-
Gently been furnished with new boilers oil
the strongest description and works but a
moderate power ofpressure. 1t is thought
it may have resulted from some imperfec-
tons in the workmanship of the starboard
boiler. or course no blame can be at
tached 10 any one.
The Rockland brings another report on
the authority of the second pilot Of the
Troy that four persons were killed, inclu-
ding the pilot and engineer and six or
seven wounded. The Swiflure was taken
in tow by the Troy. IN Y. Star.

cannot erect monuments to the memory

which, as we learn from the Inquirer, the "Buck-

received with shouts Of applause. ''He is what
he purports to be, hard-worklng mechanic, on
" thirty-four years of age, and resident of Cir
cleville, Ohio. He threw off his coat, rolled up
his sleeves and for the space of nearly two hours
held the attention of the meeting, in one of the
best, most argumentatlve and most effective
speeches that we ever listened to. He is Ma
lures own orator, and, without any pretensions
to education or polish is fluent, gifted and eo-
quent, to degree truly astonishing. Several of
his anecdotes and illustrations were excellent.
and elected peals of applause"

him nine hearty cheers The meeting was fur
