STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT-.MELANC
LOSS OF LIFE.

1t becomes our painful duty TO record one OF the
most distressing casualties which has occurred in
tnis province since the introduction of Steam the
ST. Lawrence. The high pressure Steamer Sham
rock, while between Lachne and Ponto Claire on
her way to Kingston, about ten o'clock on Saturday
morning, burst her boiler and, her bows being blown
OUT ny the explosion, she went down head foremost.
Ihere were on board of her at the time about l20
persons, OF whom AZ were taken up unhurt by three
barges IN tow and Is were conveyed to the Montreal
General Hospital wounded-5i remain TO be ac-
mas died under the ampuiation Of both legs. The
passengers were composed of English, Irish, and
Scotch; of whom the English are supposed to have
suffered most from being in the fore part of the boat.
Inc hrst engineer, who was saved, declares that he
mas no other consciousness Of the transaction than
mat me explosion took place, and that he afterwards
found himself on board of the Barges the inter
val between those events being TO his mind perfect
blank Much money is said to have been lost, the
emiRrants being OF superior description. Early
yesterday morning Mr. Jones' the Coroner repaired
TO the spot and proceeded to the wreck, which he
found with the hind part of the stern alone above the
water. Suspecng that some bodies might be in the
cabin, he caused 1t to be urst open, when the corpse
OF female was drawn out. After giving all the me-
cessary directions, and perfoi ming the melancholy
duty OF ordering number Of collins to be made ut

is 10 repair 10 the spot to-day. We think il probable
that this disastrous will occasion some Legisa-
tive enactment against the use of hgh-pressure en-
glnes The Shamrock belonged 10 Messrs Atkinson
Matthie & Co. of this city. Rumor, (according to
her usual cuslom) grossly exaggerated this calamity,
declaring on Sunday evening that there had persisted
one hundred persons and yesterday, augmenting the
loss to one hundred and fifty. Such are the partcu.
lars which. we have been able to learn ; in which.
however, there may be, usual on such occasions,
some error; but we have most of them from an au.
thentic source.

THE THIRD VETO.

This act Of the President has excited at
once the establishment and indignation of the
people throughout the country. 1t comes to
us without the apology of Constitutional
scruples, which offered palliation for the
former vetoes, but appears as a gratui.ous
assumption of share in national legislation.
Unprecedented in our annals, on the part of
the Executive. IL argument we're wanting
before, to establish the danger of the ONE
MAN power IN our Constitution, i, is fur
nished to the fullesI extcn, by this high
handed act Of the President, BY which the
quill OF one man, accidentally in the chair OF
State, has nndone with single stroke the
solemn act of the peoples representatives,
because he did not agree with them in a
mere matter Of opinion. Let not the Wing
party DO upbralded for non-fultlment of
promises, while this madman's sword stands
ready, in an instant to ceavc their best eff
forts to the earth In the language of Clay,
We must "pcch ouI Wing hiuts and try our
