DcplorabIe Accident and Loss OF Life.
It is our duty to announce to our srea-
ders a calamity unprecedented in extert
in British North America, which occur

steamer Shamrock left the canaibasin at
Montreal on Friday evening, aud the
locks at Lachine early on Saturday MORN

rock carried no cargo besides the luggage
OF passengers, whose number, We under
stand, amounted to 100 souls.
About l-U'clock, when the steamer had
proceeded only about five miles from La

Irish and Scotch Immigrants, but princi-
paily English, and were distributed at the
time of the accident nearly as tollows =
The English, in number about fxty five,
exclusively occupied the bow of the vessel,
while the Irish and Scotch occupied the
stern; in the cabin were three English
women and two men; between decks, in
the fore part of the vessel, were number
of loiterers.
The explosion carried away the the
decks, and opened the sides, so that the
vessel Immediately went down. 1t is easy

loss fell principally upon the English who
were IN the bows : the three women and
two men in the cabin perishsd, and all
who were between decks, with the excep-
ton of three Irishmen. The accident was
distinctly visible at Lachine; at least a
number OF persons remarked vast irrup-

Sourn CAROLINA SENIORS The Hon

10 serve Tor six years from the fourth OF

1t will be seen BY reference to another

effect from and o. the fourth of March
next. Many conlecJures are made BY the
South Carolina papers as to wh> will be
chosen his successor; but it seems now to
bepretty well ascertainen that either Mr..
Rhett or Judge Iluger will lie ed-pro-
bably the latter.
Mr.. Calhoun's friends have the c pnsoa-
ton that he will retain his seat in the Sc
nate long enough to aid in the great over
throw which awaits the pro ective system
at the hands of the pcope; and that al
though his services will lie lost, for a short
time, t. his country. yet he will, in all pr,.
liability, be called By the pc rple, in 4 short
